Then I pick Assault for Tactics.

My roll is 82 against 56.

Wow, All these tactics rolls suck. Ok, Ill start on an update.

The current stability values are:

1-10
2-3
3-5
4-10
5-8

Gurk. Mate. We NEED you to jump on the LINE app. We make a lot of decisions on there and we want to keep you included and get your input on stuff. Can you get on there we can keep things hustling along. It's especially important when we get to big turning points like the one we are in now.

Since he had no direct orders, Serephan will head towards the middle to help them, and lessen whatever guilt he would feel.
http://orokos.com/roll/657387
12 vs 55, 5 dos

Now there are 3 fronts at 10 stability and its time to see how well the front looks.

these are for 2 and 5.
http://orokos.com/roll/657389
5 vs 2 and 10 vs 8
Bummer, both fronts are losses in the long run. But you saved 3/5 so that will be a pass on the objective. Congrats.....?

Ok, big update. I tried to give everyone some spotlight, and base them off the rolls. Sorry if that didnt turn out well.

Thats taken all-in-all about 3.5 hours btw.

<3 お疲れ様でした。 Thank you for your hard work.

I'd love to, but I can't. I tried to register myself with Google+ and now LINE is essentially telling me that I can't register because I'm already registered, but I can't log in since I'm not registered. I don't know what kid of mess I caused but there it is.

No alternative email maybe? I've got an email specifically for this kind of stuff to avoid spam on my personal email.

As I recall I've tried with gmail and Yahoo. LINE won't take either.

And I take back what I said. I don't know what I did or didn't do but Gurkhal is active on LINE.

What's your line name? We can bring you into the convo

Should be "Gurkhal". But I should warn you that I'm off for a 4:00 awakening in the morning tomorrow and will be off for most of tomorrow, thus it will probably need to be tomorrow evening (for me) that I properly join you guys.

Not having any luck with that, though I'm using the desktop version that has more limited options. you might have some luck serching for Iron & Metal under the name Jeff.

If you're searching for me, search "nemby"; that is my LINE ID.

Iron and Metal/nemby/Jeff has been added to my friends and I shall attempt to get into contact with him today/this evening.

Gotcha!

Ok, It seems everyone wants to buy (with reserve req) a chimera to link up with Makradon/Ambrose, shall I put this into action?

If so, Ill need a navigation test from one of you. Only makradon can assist by giving instructions over the vox.

Difficulty of the test?

At +0 Lucius is rolling against a 43. Who can beat that?

Ambrose passed a weight of years roll, so He is adding +10 to that.

http://orokos.com/roll/658377
ok, after spending the 30, your sitting at 62 req. Updated the squad sheet.

I've got 76, with bonus it becomes 86, in Navigation, so I can take this roll.

Ambrose rolls awareness to search the place.

Base: 59 (Pe) +20 (Skill) +10 (autosenses)+ 20 (auspex)=109

http://orokos.com/roll/658495 (99)

Despite technically having 1 DoS, I'm pretty sure he fails. GM response: 1 DoF. He is not in great shape.

Ok, so his second awareness is lightly better:

http://orokos.com/roll/658496 (80) vs 109; 3 DoS

http://orokos.com/roll/658497 (54) vs 109; 6 DoS

DELETED (double-post)

Awareness to Check on the building and see if we get eyes on anything sooner than 1 hour later.

Per 37 + 20 (Heightened and Autosenses) = <57: 69, that's a no go.
http://orokos.com/roll/658504

Unclear in the post, but are we all together now?

Awareness for possible contacts: 44 vs 60/3 DoS
http://orokos.com/roll/658540

OK, Lucius gets out and looks around.

The immolator has a appears blown up from the inside, the entire cabin was ripped open from within. The charred remains of a squad is inside.
Its likely that whatever set this explosion off hit the promethium storage tanks for the heavy flamers up top.

And....the explosion came from below the vehicle.

Ambrose finds nothing of interest. This place has been abandoned a while, since before the fighting started.
Sometimes there's nothing interesting inside the treasure chest.

You said the immolator was both blown up from the inside and from underneath? Or does that mean that an explosion below the vehicle penetrated the bottom which then caused the interior eruption?

Albrecht trudges around the destroyed vehicle as Lucius he noted how the Immolator along with it inhabitants had been destroyed. An initial explosion underneath... mines?

He said a quick prayer for the dead sisters before opening squad vox "Brothers, the tank was destroyed from an explosion from below, perhaps a mine?"

Im moving this to IC

I imagine it's something like a more powerful version of this:

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Leaper_Mine

Funilly enough, also from deathwatch books.

That's an anti-personnel mine. That wouldn't scratch the paint of an APC/Tank. Well, it might scratch the paint. We are looking for anti-armor. Purely OOC, this is clearly the work of dickhead genestealer cultists and their powerful mining bullshit weaponry.

FL Tyranids to see if a Nid mine could have done this or if it was something else: <63; rolled 87/4 DoF
http://orokos.com/roll/659022

No idea.

I was actually thinking that it was Ironbound who had planted the mines as a "Keeo out!" sign. Its not like Imperials haven't been looking for him, or are looking for him right now.

But Genestealers probably make more sense.

So continue on?

And you guys are coming across this thing from a shallow angle and in the same direction, the tracks lead back to the port.

Lets roll...

I'm ready to move on.

By the way, just a question, can an auspex be used to detect mines, booby-traps and such?

Let's go. We want to avoid mines if we can, but we're not going to sit around doing nothing because we're afraid of explosives.

Jump packs cover flanks and point. Point person will watch for mines. It might be better to have two point people to look for mines and one jump pack as QRF (quick reaction) to respond to threats on the flanks.

Lucius will volunteer to be on point.

What skill would we use to detect mines; awareness, demolitions, perhaps demo is the easier roll?

We’re trying to see mines, not disarm them.

Awareness seems the best bet.

Sent from Topic'it App

Awareness would be appropriate here.

An Auspex would help in detecting mines, especially the more sophisticated ones.

Moving you on.

Ambrose has an auspex, and excellent awareness. He can be on mine duty when needed.

Sounds good that Ambrose can help us avoid the Immolator's fate.

Base: 59 (Pe) +20 (Skill) +10 (autosenses)+ 20 (auspex)=109

http://orokos.com/roll/660661 (22)

Total of 9 DoS, ambrose is on fire!

After thinking about this, Ive come up with a way to get to the next 'thing' whatever that may be.
Ambrose's last test wont count because this wasn't in place yet, and may change whether he rolls or someone else.

I need one or more awareness tests from 1 PC, no assistance on these rolls, but Autosenses is in full swing.

You need to get to 10 Dos before you reach 5 DoF.

Now go fourth and destroy.

Albrecht ain't to bad at awareness, helps me spot the heretics...

https://orokos.com/roll/660756 = 81 vs 78, 1 DoF
https://orokos.com/roll/660757 = 97 vs 78, 3 DoF
https://orokos.com/roll/660759 = 48 vs 78, 4 DoS
https://orokos.com/roll/660761 = 42 vs 78, 4 DoS
https://orokos.com/roll/660762 = 2 vs 78, 8 DoS

That was close.

The mystery around the Ironbound thickens. I've posted some thoughts in LINE.
