I got like real lucky rolls last session, was totally awesome
kept rolling 10-30 for tests, shit was cash
now that I got this lucky, I'm gonna have a jinxed session next time :tinfoil:
After checking the back door and seeing this monstrosity.

I ended up running SCREAMING LIKE LITTLE BABY GIRL!
I decided to draw up all purpose, preservationist, retreat tactic Beta which involved my wall walk ability.

With this plan firmly set in stone I rolled to climb the wall and, by remarkable luck, actually did it with no faults whatsoever.
Spurred on by this new-found lucky streak I pulled out my rifle, took aim at the beast and fired repeatedly.
On occasions I paused to think what might have happened had I missed... but fate was with me this day and I kept on the offensive.

After a while Geza jumped down the hole to freedom taking the light with him, leaving The ever resilient Fippe in the clutches of the heretical machine.

During this transitional period of fighting the machine to blundering around in the dark with our lungs and eye burning thanks to the blind grenades i had decided to enact a revised version of Plan B and make my way out the window (Wall walk was still proving it's usefulness even at this point)

And that is roughly where the game ended.

BONUS MATERIAL!
I drew this up after Fippe got slashed by the Chaos Servitor, this probably would have happened had not he thrown down the blind grenades. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9488680/Brohealz.png[/img]
[QUOTE=Ohforf;29651634]I hope there is lots of little kids, explosives and unfriendly mechanical bastards next session[/QUOTE]
Nothing better than litle kids being cut half.
Why didn't you throw the little kids at the servitor and run the fuck out?
Funny you should say that but that was Geza's Plan A
He just so happened to be unconcious at the time due to passing out.
And thankfully, that'd warrant a fair sum of Insanity Points. Mercilessly throwing a small, 7 year old boy at a murderous servitor isn't good for the brain.
Hey, an Arbirator would have done it.
"What would the Emperor have done?"
I'm quite sure something along the lines of "Kids. Flying. Now."
[QUOTE=Nitrowing;29558120]My players just had the most interesting session.
Our psyker is currently plummeting toward a fiery death in molten lead, riding a concrete stalactite all the way down. The other players are currently in battle with a cult, the two psykers leading it, a third-party lesser daemon who spawned from a phenomena, and our nascent psyker has accidentally switched bodies with our cleric.
I will go into detail if anyone is interested.[/QUOTE]
Things got worse. Nixios, falling to his death within a weakened warp field and while holding a mystical chaos artifact, called out for help. Time began slowing down as everything turned a shade of grey. 1 meter above the stalactite-platform, time stopped completely. Nixios, frozen in place upside down, saw a grey cloaked figure appear, slowly walking toward him.
"Nixios...Do you fear death?" he said very Davy-Jones-Like.
Nixios said yes and the two warped into the daemon's realm and they began a dark pact. He walked away with his life, more power, and a quest for a sword of unmatched power at the cost of a mutation, entertaining the daemon through chaotic antics, and allowing an imp-like daemon to reside in his mind, guiding him to the sword.
He appeared in the construction yard where shit had hit the fan.
Samos, now in Lyra's body, attacked Orion the enemy psyker, cutting him clean in half. Mordred, the other enemy psyker, cast weaken veil, causing a time distortion which caused Nixios' past/future daemon meeting. He also accidentally managed to blast himself 2 turns into the future, blast up into the air, and transform into an unbound daemonhost. 2 turns of lesser daemon combat later, Mordred the Daemonhost returned with a bang, flying 10m into the air.
Equipped with wings, he merely laughed. Fear rating 4, numerous tests later, only the acolytes minus Lyra, now running, remain. The Lesser daemon, considerably weaker than Mordred turned to face his rival.
"I'll deal with you meatbags later." It said.
Taking the opportunity, Zek dropped the massive 20 ton upside down concrete pourer on the daemonhost's head. Mordred merely laughed as he picked up the container with ease using his 160 strength, and threw it clean through the body of the crane and all the buildings behind it until it presumably reached deep space.
Now, alongside a Lesser Daemon and the soon-to-arrive skitarii forces, my Acolytes face the most powerful foe they have ever seen. It has all minor powers, 6 of the most powerful assault psy powers, impossibly high willpower, strength, and toughness, as well as a fear rating of 4, wings, eyeballs over it's body, dark sight, and almost everything that is in the guide for "How to Destroy a Major City in 6 Easy Steps.".
There's nothing more fun than being a GM.
How many wings?
I was refraining from throwing a Daemonhost at Party Cell buuuuuuut...
Yea. It has the ability to one-hit anything. I don't even need to roll strength. It could karate chop the planet if I wanted it to. I plan on having it flick the the massive Lesser daemon through several buildings, each wall smash counting as fall damage.
Either that or have it tear it in half. Oh, and it is using regenerate so it regains 1d5 wounds out of his 30 for the next 10 rounds.

I strongly doubt we'd survive one such encounter :v:

Righteous fury, motherfucker :v:

Just out of curiosity, how do you award xp to your players? Base 200 + bonus? Or xp awarded for actions?
Also, playing this you'll find out as they get more powerful, making scenarios or enemies who stand a chance is really hard. In the next few sessions the team's Techpriest will be strong enough to throw people around as weapons with Doc Ock mechadendrites. The party's Psyker, Nixios, is a biomancer with shape flesh which makes any hope of containing him with prisons, cuffs, people, borderline impossible.
Finding the balance between "OHGODRUNAWAY" and "I swat them down like flies" is tough. I hope you have better luck than I have.

Standard 200xp per session, more if more is accomplished or the players are creative.
But I know what you mean, I play in another game at the moment, we're Ascension tier and we swat Chaos Space Marines and Dreadnoughts down like flies. The GM says they should be a challenge but the scenarios aren't biased, they never have an advantage. It boils down to two teams firing bullets at oneanother across a room until one drops dead. And it's always them because I heal 13 wounds by default with Seal Wounds.
Ooo I have an idea for a scenario/mission/whateverit'scalled
PCs are branded heretics 'cause they found out something during some random mission and are designated a possible threat to a heretic cabal inside the inquisition's topish brass and need to find evidence that they're innocent.
Wow that is totally stolen from some generic spy movies.

this is why you are not the gm
:fuckyou:
:arghfist::saddowns:
Redemption in the WH40K universe simply means they shoot you after saying a prayer.
We are talking about a universe where merely looking at a heretical symbol carries the risk of forcefully converting you to chaos and emperor help you is you see one of the runes carved on chaos temples.
They have been described as literally mind raping
I'd be oh so okay with that :q:
There may be something of a similar nature coming up Mad. Maybe.

Yet you laughed at me when I vomited into the trashbin after seeing that HERETICALLLL symbol carved into the corpse. :saddowns:

Oh god best idea ever.
Necrons. Covered with heretical symbols that rape your mind.
