| We are updated and moving ahead with just the two of you. If Litsche decides to come back, she can take up Na'no again. For the time being, I will NPC Elanro and Na'no.
At least we can count on fast updates. | |

| We need to try and track down Elrano's body. I figure we get a rough idea of where the flying creatures are going, plus Elrano will bleed out, his blood dropping to the floor. Bok should be able to track it hopefully. | |

| So, we count the initial roll as either a success or failure, then any result above or below that as another degree by tens.
In this case it would be 50 (1 DoF) --> 40 (2 DoF) --> 39 (3 DoF). It's really good for biting people in the ass or giving mad success.
Essentially, Ril'arn's focus is so much on what he has just noticed, he fails to notice the TX5 Prianha in the sky some 500 meters out. | |

| Damn. Lol ok well in that case, yes, moving closer will make it an easier shot. You are 3x farther out than your optimal range (200m vs 60m). This puts you at Extreme Range in crunch terms, -30 to hit. If you move to just under 180m, you will be in the Long Range, -10 to hit zone.
TL;DR: Move 20m and your penalty to hit will be -10. How you plan on moving that 20m is important. So let me know if you are all out running, or taking your time with full move actions. | |

| OK, awesome. Because you chose to run, I rolled awareness for the birds to spot you. Which they did: http://orokos.com/roll/730670This will start combat time for Ril'arn. The way we do combat here normally is that the GM locks the IC and all IC dialogue & OOC actions/rolls are posted in the OOC. Then I update the IC in rounds with all the actions in initiative order. Let's hold off on that for right now. I want the others to have a chance to act before we drop into combat time. Regardless, I will move us forward by tomorrow. When combat starts, Ril'arn will have covered his full run distance putting him 176m from the birds. | |

| Carn, Gorthrax immediately picks up the trail and can easily follow it this time around. He covers up to his run distance before combat time starts.
Distances: Ril'arn 176m out from enemy (opposite Gorthrax) + Gorthrax 176m from enemies (opposite Ril'arn) TX5 crew 150m from enemies
Everyone roll me initiative | |

Here is the initiative order: Ril'arn - 13 Birds - 12 Gorthrax & Bok - 11 Na'no - 7 Vra'fa - 3 lol
OK, Kobras you are up. Please post your OOC action in this thread, with any accompanied rolls and IC to go with it. | |

| Thanks, Carn. Good eye. Remember to double check your talents; I won't always be keeping an eye on everything your PCs are capable of.
This thing is now airborne and shoots up at a 45 degree angle, going its full speed (80m). That will be another -20 to hit with ranged attacks (full run).

| Half Action draw weapon / Half action standard attack (+10), -20 penalty https://orokos.com/roll/733394 = 16 vs 36, hit. 8 dmg, 3 pen IC Gorthrax was sure he heard a shot coming from the ground some distance away, he squints into the distance but can't pick anything up. Had it sounded like a pulse weapon? Sure enough one of the avian creatures broke away from its pack and made to swoop down on something. Whoever it was would have to look after themselves, while Na'no and Vra'fa had the protection of the TX, he didn't rate either of their combat experience. If they had any or not, they were weak and needed his help. In a fluid motion Gorthrax brings his rifle from its postion across his back ready for a shot. He had no time to aim, he hoped to at least distract the beasts and to draw their attention. The crack of his rifles echo's out... | |

| That is a badass mental image of Gorthrax getting it on.
Remember Gorthrax's addiction though. It has been 12 hours since his last hit, so he is suffering from fatigue (-10 all tests). Unless dodged, that shot will be a hit.

Na'no will be unsure of what to do at the moment. She will bring up the ship's targeting systems and wait for Vra'fa's lead.

| Vra'fa OOC Half action aim/ half action single shot at Enemy B BS 25 +10 (targetting system) +10(aim) +10 (single shot) -20( full speed) Rolled 37 https://orokos.com/roll/733545Agh- just missed. I actually forget what the TX is armed with? I can get the stats for next time- hopefully. Vra'fa IC Vra'fa stared as the dots before them suddenly started to grow in size. She didn't need to wait to see what they looked like again. The image of their attack on the Piranha was burned into her mind. It would be easy now to transfer herself for the Fire Warrior but she wasn't going to let them in. She couldn't. She wouldn't. The choice had been made, the dam unblocked and the water would flow where it did. As it was, dripping down her spine, making her robes cling to her. She was distracted from her thoughts by a movement for Na'no. In front of her the monitor screen had switched its image. Crosshairs had appeared in the centre, and red squares surrounding the x shapes dotting closer to them. She had seen such a display before, in one of her classes. There wasn't time to recall the memory fully, but she understood how to operate this, even if some of the numerical data rapidly pooling at the edge of the screen was beyond her. As she prepared to fire the ships weapon two shots sounded. This confused her momentarily before she concentrated again, and brought the crosshairs towards one of the moving squares and fired. | |

| Ril'arn curses as the first shot goes wide, wishing he had a superior weapon. He pulls the trigger again. It clicks. He looks at his carbine in shock and checks the power cell. Empty, he could have sworn he checked it. Did they give him a faulty cell? Someone must be trying to have me killed! BS 49+10 (Half-Aim)+10 (single shot), -20 (full speed)=49 Roll 93, miss with 5 DOF, complication, lost a reload.

| All right! We get to playtest the new Reload Rules again now that Ril'arn has rolled a complication. - Wrath & Glory Reload Rules for those who need a touch up:
- Reloads: A character can spend a Full Action reloading one ranged weapon. Reloads will no longer be tracked as an amount of ammunition spent; in other words, they are not expended through firing a weapon normally. Instead, they will be an abstraction that represent a complication or a benefit to the player. Each player will receive x3 reloads which represent all of the ammunition needed for their adventure. Reloads can be spent or lost in the following ways: -- Complications: If a player rolls a Complication (any BS roll of 90-100), one of the character’s Reloads may be removed as a result. If the character has no Reloads remaining, then such a Complication renders a weapon unusable until more ammo can be located - standard Jamming rules apply. Ex: If a character rolls a 96, they must clear the jam as per RAW, and then spend a full action reloading - losing a reload in the process. -- Use: A character can choose to expend one Reload as part of an attack to gain an increased effect. Reloads spent can add bonus dice to the attack roll, allow a second attack in the same round, or add additional effects depending on the weapon. Reloads must be expended before the attack roll is made. Possible Benefits: add 1d10 to damage die, increase RF range by 1, Double penetration, granting an additional attack, add a weapon special quality at random to the attack. ***Troop-level enemies will never benefit from reloads, but Elite and Master level enemies can.
This doesn't count as a jam, but it does mean Ril'arn has spent a full magazine of ammunition. Either he hadn't reloaded prior to the battle and forgot he was so low on ammo, or someone back at his outpost played a prank on him and only loaded one round into the magazine - narratively we have a lot of wiggle room. You need to spend a full round reloading before your carbine is usable again. Please remove 1 of your reloads from your PC sheet; feel free to update your IC to reflect this turn of events. | |

She'd missed. While she knew truly that in staring at the screen instead of out of the cabin, she was deluding herself, she accepted it for now. She could consider the real world once they were safe again. Instead she was presented with a puzzle that she had to solve. The square she had attempted to shoot earlier had angled itself in a different direction, but one had suddenly come much closer to them. She manoeuvred the cross-hairs until they were over the centre of the square, following its movement and then shot. While she concentrated fully on the task before her, she was only dimly aware of the drone floating above her also discharging its weapon. | |

| All birds are at -10 dodge now for being in essentially a full sprint, but Gorthrax's still managed to get out of the way. Vra'fa's didn't! And because it used it's dodge on her, it cannot dodge for the drone.
Vra'fa gets the first kill!

| Good news is that the damage was a natural 1. Your armor and toughness soak it all. It has used its Assassin Strike Talent and was able to move 10m behind Ril'arn - still in flight. You'll need to 1/2 move to turn around and face it. Enemy B is going to charge Gorthrax. A successful survival test would have made you aware of that and given you a bonus to any evasion against it - but you failed. Some survivalist. HUGE fails on both accounts. http://orokos.com/roll/735641Vra'fa is up. Na'no is going to turn the vehicle to face the second threat that flew roughly in your direction who is (unbeknownst to you until you turn) attacking Gorthrax EDIT: Sorry, GORTHRAX is up. Then Na'no's posted action will occur. Then Vra'fa | |

| You didn't take one before because the creature was in front of you. This round it charged, missed its hit, then used Assassin Strike to move past you. So, it is behind you and you'll need to 1/2 action turn to face it. | |

| Sorry I wasn't particularly clear. What I meant was; turning is not a half action in the rules (DH2). Perhaps it should be house ruled, I'm not sure. I don't mind if its going to be a rule, but then wouldn't the Avian creature have to spend a half action to turn back to face me? Sorry to be difficult | |

| I had always assumed it was - just like standing - since it's not an instant action. I think it should be. The creature would definitely have to take a half action to turn around to come back at you.
What're the vehicle rules regarding that? I think a vehicle in movement has to take a half action to turn up to 90 degrees unless its a hoverer. This might fall under that hoverer rule since this creature is flying. But I need to think on that more. | |

Vra'fa IC The red square blinked and then disappeared from her screen. A wave of satisfaction rose up through, a wave that she let take her, offering no resistance. There would be time to consider this later. This was not a time for contemplation. As Na'no manoeuvred their ship through the air, she focused her eyes on the screen, waiting for the red squares to move into her cross hairs again. One came quickly into target, moving as swiftly as the last one had, but she felt more confident about predicting its next move, and threading the needle. However just before she was about to shoot, something pulled her out of her focus. There was a green square, very close to the red. Green was marked Tau friendly. Who.... Gorthrax! Her fingers flexed and the shot missed her target completely. | |

What're the vehicle rules regarding that? I think a vehicle in movement has to take a half action to turn up to 90 degrees unless its a hoverer. This might fall under that hoverer rule since this creature is flying. But I need to think on that more. Personally I think it just complicates combat (adds another layer), I like mechanics to be as simple as possible. DH2 is super basic and states An operator can drive or otherwise direct his vehicle in a wide manner of manoeuvres or attacks, the better to pursue (or escape from) heretics and other enemies. As a general rule, a vehicle must move directly forward or backward at least its own length before turning 90° in any direction. It can turn more than once, provided it moves a sufficient distance each time.So there are no rules for turning taking up an action other than the requirement to move forward its own length before doing so. I guess it depends on how realistic you want the mechanics to be? At the end of the day a person is more maneuverable than a vehicle; can turn on the spot quickly. While we decide on the above I'll do the following regardless... Semi Auto Attack (half action), if I need a half action to turn I have it spare att https://orokos.com/roll/736151 = 12 vs 46 (+10 short range, -10 fatigue), 2 hits dmg https://orokos.com/roll/736154 = 8 & 12, 3 pen IC Gorthrax wipes the sweat from his brow as the creature started to swoop in, his graving was playing havoc he felt drained and now a hot flush. He was lucky it misjudged its attack pattern and flew wide. Despite his 'hunger' he was still a Kroot; a predator. Pivoting on the spot Gorthrax follows its trajectory and fires two shots in rapid succession. | |

| That's fair. Leaving it as a free action will keep things simple and increase player enjoyment? Then fuck yeah. However, I am going to have the enemy dodge at a penalty since it is not facing you; this will be applied to players as well. 62 vs 46; no dice. http://orokos.com/roll/736164That is a kill shot. Back to the top of the initiative. Kobra, you're up! | |

| Reeling from the blow delivered by the beast's talons, Ril'arn's hand flies to the wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding. He's shocked when it turns out the wound is barely a scratch. He whips around to continue firing at the bird, this time blasting wildly at it. Half Action Aim BS 49 +10 Aim, +10 close range, +0 Semi auto= 69 https://orokos.com/roll/736168Roll: 32, 4 DOS= 2 hits https://orokos.com/roll/73616912 Damage on the first hit, pen 4 https://orokos.com/roll/73617013 on the second hit, pen 4 | |
