I made a display of a city street on Skyrnne's main settlement. Check it out.

Nice Dekskull. Cool City scene.

@all: any further comments on the current post?
Otherwise I would wrap this up. The Crispy Big Mek comming after Simond should not have a chance against your lot.

Ready to celebrate a hard fought victory. (Was it hard fought? No one died right?). Looking forward to the next chapter/mission

Fits better anyway.

Made it home with full numbers, winning glory, reknown, cold beer and a well earned break.
And we made those scions look like amatures.
Living the Imperial guardsman's dream.

Looking forwards to what we're doing next.

Regarding the spoils of war:
You get another 1200 XP for the intense fighting at the refinery. That should put all of you comfortably above 2500, which is the treshhold for a specialisiation. This means you can choose one of three options:
1. Take one if the advanced specialities from Hammer of the emperor or Shield of Humanity (for Kraitus). This becomes your new class. As far as I understand you keep what you have, but your aptitudes change. While HotE states that your equipment also changes I say just keep your stuff.
2. Switch to another career path from the core rulebook. Poncho could become a heavy gunner if he so decides etc.
3. Keep your class and gain +5 in all attributes you share an aptitude with (which is quite a number...)


Equipment wise I would say you can give me a wish list what your character wants and I decide what is sensible as reward. But as rough ball park one extremely rare item (like a high quality meltagun for example) should be possible. Or multiple items that are less rare or upgrading the stuff you have to the next better quality. You now count as some kind of elite formation, so feel free to customize your kit.

If that is relevant for you, you could also get augmetics or a beasty for Simond with a little more chesthair...

I can barely manage the one specialty class! I will go with the Plus 5's for me.

Don't worry, nobody is dying for some music. But such rolls open up interesting stories...

@ character development: I think I will try out the Scout special role. It fits and sneaky melee would again be something new to try out.
Or I'll have a look at the Ratling fixer again, which as I remember also vibed good with Tambos character. And I think we can be flexible with the specialities.

@ everybody that stays in their respektive class: as the specialities get new gear you can instead feel free to upgrade one weapon of your choice for free (better quality OR personalisation OR stuff like a Laser sight etc.) and improve one other thing from your kit (better quality, other type of grenade/lance tip, etc.) for free


Both become your standard equipment that is replenished after each adventure

Hey Storyteller. I'm not sure if you had another idea for our next mission but I thought this one looked good. Plus less work for you since it's a self contained story.

Hmm... not sure about that. Going against a bunch of poxwalkers as forlorn hope sounds pretty grim at the moment. And I would prefer to do something with more interaction and a bit less fighting as the big fight scene at the refinery was rather one sided. In the sense that I wrote most of the text and your replies were rather short due to you having limited choices (and there are only so much ways you can describe "I shot the ork with my gun").

I'm not yet sure how to go about it, but I would prefer setting you up in some form or the other against some human adverseries, were talking or the use of different skill sets other than pure shooting plays a bigger role.

Sorry for the untimely reply.
I'm happy to do something less battle related, some skullduggery might be a good change of pace.


Speckin into 'Brawler'. Might not always have that pony to keep Simond out of every fight he's in.
Also snatching up 'Watch my back!'

Sure thing! I'm sure whatever happens will be fun.

Just looking for a way to make your job easier. GMing is a lot of work.

Sorry, I have vacation days currently, but am stuck with renovating some rooms and taking the kids out for activities. Kind of hard to find the time to write in here. Maybe I'll spontanously find it but otherwise it might take until the week after the next. Sorry

@ all: you can of course recommend a different task-distribution or come up with other ideas. I just wanted to keep the ball rolling.

@ Njal: do you want to look for Kraitus first, have a look at the locks or do you have a completely different avenue of investigation in mind

@ Teodore/Simond: how do you want to play this? "Injured soldier and medic"or openly as concerned friends of the Brontians? Or something completly different?

I keep thinking that Simond would have been in the clinic for at least a bit of initial patching up after that mission.
Although he probably was not paying much attention to the more mission critical aspects of the clinic.

Remember that you do have combeads and their range is high enough to communicate within the depot. Yet while usually no one bothers listening in on every conversation, some Arbites might take an interest into what the friends of two murder suspects are chatting about

Thanks for the reminder. I am use to not having that level of tech.
