Chapter 7.0 - Calling in the Coroner - OOC

IC

Grimnir saw Juros go down amonst the green tide, the pup was to far for the wolf to help but he could aid Hydrako in getting there. Snarling at the orc closest he ripped his chainsword free and took its head with the same motion, leaping into the space he tried to carve a path that the shark could take advantage of.

Adding OOC back in to keep it together

I should have done a break test last turn. I did not think enough damage had been done.
https://orokos.com/roll/978313

They are broken. Combat over.

Cannibalizing Juros' Req:

- Kraken and Hellfire box mags for Heavy Bolter (Cassiel)
- Signum Link (Grimnir - I assume since he didn't req one)
- Demo Charges (Khol - makes the most sense)
- Lamps (anyone - leave nothing for the Ork)

Standard Wargear:
- Heavy Bolter and backpack (whoever can haul it currently - likely will come in handy at some point); if we can put this on Hydrako's back for now, that works. Mobile gun platform to grab as needed
- 3 Frags, 3 Kraks (Anyone, though Lucius would take the kraks if offered)
- Repair cement (Anyone)
- Bolt Pistol Mags (Anyone)

Combat Knife, Bolt Pistol, Scrimshaw Tools (stay on the body out of respect)

If no one wants the nades, Hydrako will take them for the launcher

Grimnir is more skilled at demolitions and he is primary scount with Khol taking a las cannon. Suggest I take it instead.

I'll certainly take the signum link.

Apologies, thought Khol was our resident bombardier. Grimnir should have the demo charges in that case.

In case they're needed I'll throw out some stealth and awareness rolls for scouting

Stealth https://orokos.com/roll/978713 = 31 vs 119 = 11 dos (using Masking Screen)

Awareness https://orokos.com/roll/978714 = 64 vs 109 = 7 dos

Lucius knows everything about this ship that has ever been known. FUCK YEAH! Hahaha


https://orokos.com/roll/979460

So Lucius knows basically the original layout of the ship. What do you want to check out?

In order of importance:
- The Bridge: focus on intel gathering; anything we can take back for the Deathwatch archives regarding the history of the ship, its engagements, and any material from 10k years ago that remains. I believe all of that would have huge significance to the organization.
- Armory: Self explanatory.
- The Medical Bay: focus on gathering any supplies or archaeotech for our current mission/future use
- Cargo Bay: Same as Med Bay
- Crew Quarters: Might be fun

Anything else? I am sure Sapiens will have some ideas.

Those sound good to me

Looks good to me as well. Let's get things moving again.

Cheers, and thank you for responding.

The bridge is an excellent starting point. It may be best if Sapiens focuses on trying to access the bridge systems and get whatever info if possible.

Heath what kind of lore skill would it be to determine mk2 armour with a phobos bolter and marry that up to the likely legion. Would common lore astartes do it or some scholatic or forbidden lore?

I'll throw a common lore astartes roll in case that helps
https://orokos.com/roll/980720 = 43 vs 39, nope.

Its mkIV and its black. There's no other identifying marks on it.

EDIT: You notice that there no signs of wear and tear besides the torn edge. Even on the bolter there are no knicks or scratches. It looks pretty new besides the water damage.

I figure that a Warp taint might have a psychic active presence so Bleda runs a psyniscience on the object he is to study. If that works he may try a Reading on it, which may be in vain, but let's see if the psyniscience says anything.

Action: Use skill "Psyniscience" on the arm and the bolter.

31 vs 57 = 3 DoS

https://orokos.com/roll/980754

I would like to do a scan on the hand to find out chapter and how long it's been there.

Medicae 1d100: 84 [1d100=84]

medicae: 1d100 84

Sapiens will try to find a few things:

1-What is the make & mark of the armor?

2-Is the bolter still functional/details on phobos pattern bolters.

FL (Archetotech)
https://orokos.com/roll/980997 54 vs 112, 7 DoS

is a mk iv gauntlet. Released before and during the heresy. Its still got water logged remains inside it, pretty gross. No signs of extensive wear or tear. The only damage is where it was crushed halfway in 2 pieces through the mid forearm.

The bolter is phobos pattern. No identifying marks or iconography. Its got water damage, but with some TLC and time it can work again.

Nothing psychic or tainted off the hand.

The hand had sudden blunt force trauma at the same level of the gauntlet damage. Give you the idea that whatever damaged the gauntlet is also what damaged the hand. The Ulna (bigger bone in the forearm) has either been pulled/fallen out entirely, or been crushed further up the appendage past the soft tissue. Though the tissue has been saturated with water, it doesn't look necrotic, which tells you more about the water than the hand. The water will probably be clean enough to drink for most humanoids after the barest of filtration techniques.

Going to throw out a perception test just because

Per 52 +10 HS +10 Awareness = <72
25 = 6 DoS

Psyniscience test

95 vs WP 57, so its a failed test

https://orokos.com/roll/982120

Bob is afk and there's no response from our resident apothecary. moving on assuming both of them pass their tests.

Will however test a Lumien charge for Sapiens to power the console.

pass

Just curious but for us who were not with Draco during the first visit to this hulk, have there been mentioning of the two Astartes from Draco left behind here?

I'm wondering, even if its a longshot, if the Astartes arm we found could be connected with one of them as opposed to the cargo of this ship?

Khol is going to search for any medicae supplies/equipment for Draco to use even though it's against logic compared how dire the room sounds:

Awareness/Survival?

https://orokos.com/roll/983928

2 DoS or failed

How many strikes are we giving non-active players who don't engage with the others in this game in any way shape or form?

There's no room for that in the last mission for Draco, my dudes.

I guess its up to the GM, and while I'm not normally in the habit of supporting the kicking of players, I will understand if absent players are cut loose to keep things moving.

100%, support it.

Lets just eat them for their nutrients already.

Be careful...you are what you eat. That’s how it gets you.

WENDIGO - LEFT OR RIGHT?!

Ain't no left or right on a ship, port or starboard by Hell's Teeth. If you can't get that straight, I'm gonna start calling 'cartridges' 'bullets'. Do you really want to go there?

Anyway, is left fore or aft by your reckoning?

If we ripped a hole in the floor plating, do you think we could drain some water? I bet it's full up underneath so it'd be a waste of time, but we wouldn't have to make a big hole to find out.

We should try that at least.

Left = fore and Aft = right, as to how I said it here.

Heath, this was based off that sweet Natural 1 roll. Being where we are now, I imagine Lucius has a good idea of how these armories were laid out and where we are currently standing. Would he also have any idea how anything was (originally/supposed to be/etc) stocked?

In other words, would he know that originally Aft was supposed to have tons of melta explosives that would fuck us all up if hit wrong etc?

So macrobatteries should be its ammo evenly strewn out, but towards the outer edges of the ship. Torpedoes would be located towards the prow. What kind or if there were any left would have to be verified by eye but it would be a good thing to report back. The ship also should have extensive lance weaponry on the sides and would have macrogenerators and capacitors to power those weapons, those would be located in roughly the same areas as the macrocannons.
So aft would have more things like weapons for ground units, tanks, artillery, aeronautica.....bulk storage.
Any ammunition dumps for the ship weapons listed above would have cold storage there too, but it should be stored inert to keep the risk of explosion low.

Aft it is. Any objections?

In accordance with my contrarian nature, I'd like to object, but despite my best efforts to formulate one or more objections, I'm coming up blank.

Aft it is!
