Chapter 6 - War Eternal - OOC

I suppose Bleda follows Griminir's lead on this one.

Even considering the fact that Bleda shoots first? Lol

Moving on.
Bleda does no damage

Grimnir does 30 damage.

Ill let you know know, with standard bolt rounds you will need to deal 19 or higher to get past armor/toughness.

They are now aware of your presence, so the next 2 move 12m towards the shooters.
On Lucius, Cassiel and Tomasu now.

Tomasu has a bolt pistol with no special ammo, so he will cast possibility shield.
Push, +2 pr, doubles means a no roll on phenomena chart.
https://orokos.com/roll/856583
70 vs 95
https://orokos.com/roll/856584
aw shit. Perils.....
https://orokos.com/roll/856585
66, I summoned a lesser deamon. Nice.

It will be a plague bearer, since the world is jungle ish it seems the most fitting.
https://orokos.com/roll/856586
initiative 12, so it has no action this round,
its 18 meters on the SW flank of the shooters.

however, the power goes off. All of the shooters get +10 to any one test during the round.
They also get +35 to any and all dodge parry tests.

This happens after Lucius turn, but before Cassiel. Ill update the IC later.

Well, yeah, but it didn't matter in the end.

IC:
Cassiel had been prepared as the members of the squad with Jet Packs moved into position. With the Praetor closest to him forced to use his shield against withering fire, Cassiel prepared to launch a krak missile with this Soundstrike Launcher. Prior to depressing the firing rune he notices the appearance of a demon from the warp. That doesn't change his actions for the moment. There were two pyskers they knew about here, and he didn't trust either one, but he couldn't be sure enough to target either the demon or Tomasu, if he was the traitor that brought it here.


Krak Missile Necrons, Round 1, Attack, Damage, RF: 1d100 16 3d10+10 28 1d10 3

That's a 16 versus 74 base, so that's 7 degrees of success, +1 more because of the +10 to rolls this round. Damage is 31 - that 28 included a 3,5,10 so RF for +3 PEN 8.

Firing on the same one that Hydrako (?) did. Whichever one took the most damage so far; Best bet against such tough opponents is to pile up on one and take them down one at a time.

BS 52 +50 (Half aim/Accurate/Mastercraft/Motion Predictor/Hunter of Aliens) +0 Semi Auto <102; rolled 56/6 DoS/3 hits
Damage (+6 bolter mastery/HoA/Mighty Shot): 24, 25, 20, pen 4.
https://orokos.com/roll/856652

IC: Lucius held his position. His weapon was already up and tracking. "Focus fire on the already damaged ones. These boys can take a beating." Following his own advice, he squeezes off three expertly placed rounds on the one whose shield had just gone up in a blast of energy. Body - Body - Head

The one with the shield is down is gone, So I am going to assume Cassiel will stick to the plan and fire at the other one headed towards team jump pack.
ff vs missile:
https://orokos.com/roll/856881
Natural 1. Its unhurt but its shield is gone as well.

Its on Sapiens now.

works.

Sapiens was absolutely focused on his target. He vaguely registered the appearing demon, but it was too far to yet be a concern. He analysed the praetorian's movements, waiting until its shield broke. He analysed the probabilities, calculating to the microsecond for the moment the praetorian's left leg should reveal an internal passage in under 3 seconds. It would be too short for more than one bullet, so a single bolt surged out.

IC
Watching the rounds from various Marines ricochet and fly off in different directions while others found their targets, Hydrako switched targets to one that was facing the flanking force. He opened up with his twin barrels, but could see by the tracers that his aim was well off. It wouldn't even draw the Necron's attention...

Shit, I put Sapiens and I meant Serephan.

He will follow suit and fire semi auto, except at Number 2.
https://orokos.com/roll/857817
93, almost jammed. Still a miss.

Grotesque will full move towards the Plague bearer. Its too slow to make it to him.

2 moves towards towards jumpers again. 36 m away

plague bearer runs past grotesque towards Tomasu. Too far away for a charge.

That brings it to Bleda and Grimnir.

Ok, new post in.

IC: Using his fire selector to switch to kraken rounds, Bleda lets a burst out against Necron 2 and scores a solid hit on the target.

Action: Aim and semi-auto burst

BS: 47 +10 (Aim) +10(Tomasu's psychic aid)

Roll is 65 vs 67, so a single hit

Since I have tearing with the bolter I suppose its the second roll that is the relevant one, which is a critical hit. I'll roll for a OW critical here since we're using the OW combat rules.

Just a question, but does the "Hunter of Aliens" apply to the Necrons? I know Bleda also has that talent but I was unsure if it applied to the Necrons and their constructs.

I think thats whats intended RAW. So yes.

The one you attacked last time is dead. So I assume th other guy with currently no shield?

Bleda does 5 wounds, and knocks him prone.

That reduces Grimnir's DoS to 8, which is about as game changing as it sounds.

Grimnir does 24 wounds.

3 and 4 moves another 12 towards shooters.

Its on Lucius, Cassiel and Tomasu.

Tomasu attacks the demon with pit viper.

According to the IC I didn't kill the necron. You wrote...

"The kraken round hit the enemy square side of the cranium. Instead of simply ignoring the damage, half of its head is blown away in a shower of metallic bits and debris.
Much to Grimnir's annoyance, the warrior seemed not to notice, and kept moving towards its quarry."

Lucius killed it after you did. Thats what killed it.

Firing on the next closest enemy that has either 1) shield down or 2) already taken damage.

BS 52 +50 (Half aim/Accurate/Mastercraft/Motion Predictor/Hunter of Aliens) +0 Semi Auto <102; rolled 50 (BOOM HEADSHOT)/3 shots land
Damage (+6 bolter mastery/HoA/Mighty Shot): 21, 28 (RF HEAD: 2), 27, pen 4.

Don't have my books in front of me, so I don't know what that RF does. If the first or second shot kill this enemy, i believe I can switch targets if they are close to one another - which it seems like they are. If so, please send that third shot into an appropriate bitch boy.

https://orokos.com/roll/859937


IC: Lucius kept up the steady, almost meditative squeezing of his trigger. Three more shots - expertly aimed - but it wasn't like he had a hard target. He put his motion predictor on the target's head. Boom. Headhost.

IC:
For once, the plan was generally working the way it was supposed to.  That could only mean that something was about to go terribly, terribly wrong.  But until it did, Cassiel would stick to the plan.  Cassiel ignored the Necrons moving slowly in his direction, instead focusing on the one that was drawing close to the group.  With his exposed flank, he made a perfect target for a krak missile.


OOC:
Easy hit, no RF.  24 damage, Pen 8
Krak Missile Nov 16: 1d100 45 3d10+10 24 1d10 8

Edit - if Lucius got the one I was aiming at, I'll shoot another valid target (I think I have to switch to one advancing toward the shooting group.

It was asked in LINE who was still up and running/wounded/ no sheild ect.

While I was out of town I had forgotten that Sapiens had already done 12 wounds. That meant that Bleda did some more damage and Grimnir finished him off.

This means Lucius is firing at either 3 or 4 (same difference) and they both still have their shields.
https://orokos.com/roll/860060
none of the shields overload. None of them help.
Lucius does 22 damage.
the RF does blind and deaf for 1 round, 2 levels of fatigue

https://orokos.com/roll/860074
Leave it to him to be unaffected by the missile.

So Its on Sapiens now.

IC for my action...

Grimnir stayed disciplined and drew a bead on the next nercon that was closing with Hydrako's group. It was a good plan so one that he would follow. He paid the deamon no heed, he assumed that Tomasu and if needed Bleda would deal with it. They were best equipped to.

Instinct and skill again made the next headshot look effortless.

Sapiens maintained his focus. Another shot through the shield, avoiding the right arm to hit center mass.

IC:
Hydrako saw the necrons begin to phase out as they were punished by the crossfire. He aimed at the construct that was the least damaged and squeezed the firing stud. Bolts leapt out of the twin barrels again, but again they missed the slow moving xenos.

IC: Deciding to down the damage Necron, Bleda fires a burst of bolts against it but misses. Just after firing the Force Sword is in Bleda's hands. The Destroyer's next course of action was clear.

Action: Aim and semi-auto burst against "haris shakhsiun 3". After the miss Bleda uses his Quick Draw Talent to equip his Force Sword, dropping his bolter on the ground if necessary to get the sword ready.

Roll

BS: 47 +10 (Aim) +10 (Hunter of Aliens Talent) +10 (Short range) = BS 77

Roll: 98 vs 77 - Three wasted kraken rounds.

https://orokos.com/roll/862335

Ok. On Grimnir now.

Also, Bleda Jammed.

Thanks GM, so with a jammed bolter and the Necrons closing in it makes even more sense to switch to a melee weapon.

Half action move back and to the side a bit (6m). Half action aim at the uninjured necron (will shoot next round).

IC
It looked to Grimnir that the pack were going finish the necrons without bother, still the wily wolf was careful as he wasn't in his power armour. He'd let his better armoured brothers take any charge if it came. Grimnir backs up away from the xenos while getting ready for the next headshot.

Regen
https://orokos.com/roll/862726
he regains 7 wounds, and loses one of his 2 crit conditions.
Wil drop blind/deaf since its about to go away on Lucius' turn anyway. 2 fatigue still applies.
(Technically, I think necrons are immune to this somewhere deep in the bowels of rules that are not condensed well.)
They both move another 12

Puts it on Lucius, Cassiel and Tomasu

Another volley erupted from the storm bolter, and this time the bolts found their mark. However, as the bolts struck the metal body of the xenos, they failed to penetrate and exploded harmlessly. Prepare to scatter. Move away from melee and draw them apart, he hissed over the vox.

Thanks for rolling for me. New phone(s) - I got a replacement for my personal device and my company sent me a work phone. I've been supposed to have one for a long time, but I haven't wanted to have 2 phones. Getting each of them set up properly is time consuming and I've already been super-busy (like everyone else!)

In any case - thanks for rolling. IC:

Cassiel mentally kicked himself for letting his last missile bounce off the abomination's shield - the next shot would be true. He scanned the target and let the machine spirit analyze the refresh cycle of the forcefield. Concentrating his breath he calculated the exact distance, the exact speed of the missile. Only with millisecond timing would this work. Cassiel pressed the firing rune and was rewarded by watching the missile pass through the shield as if it wasn't even there.

Hydrako's shots wont do any damage, but maybe they will overload it?
https://orokos.com/roll/864107

Serephan will do as he does:

When I wake up tomorrow...

Are you still firing at the wounded one? Its in melee now.

Yeah thats fine, doesn't affect the outcome of the dice roll.

"Squad leader, the Xenos have engaged the enemy in melee. Does the order to scatter and avoid melee remain in effect?" Bleda sends by the vox.

He wouldn't mind seeing the Necrons maul the Eldar but the idea to back off before the enemy in the Eldar's sight was not something he did eagerly.

Confirmed. Use the distraction to fire into its flanks. Hydrako hissed in reply.

IC: "Understood, squad leader." Bleda took off to position himself to grant aid to the Eldar by bolter fire into the flank of the Necrons.

Action: Run to position Bleda to fire into the flank of the Necron fighting the Eldar and keep himself from melee with the same Necrons.

Your bolter is jammed bro.

Bro, bolter jams are simply a state of mind. If he wills it, is it truly even jammed?

Iron and Metal wrote:

Its not jammed when its a psycher we're talking about.

This is heretical ork thought. It will be purged.

Ok, so Sapiens will again try to snipe at the last surviving enemy.


https://orokos.com/roll/865762 90, no chance with the -20. Here's an IC

IC:

As Sapiens lined up another shot, he under-estimated the erratic nature of the phase field and overcompensated, and the singular bolt flew wide. He annoted the recording of this part of the combat to avoid this mistake in the future.
