The Dark Gods Servants

Rushing into the bridge of the vessel after Kaillan Veskara she easily outpaced him as she always does. Any defenders at the door never had a chance while the heat and pressure wave of the blast had disoriented everyone else aboard the bridge. She was already engaging the captain though apparently without intent to kill him this time, he decided to not bother with whatever intentions she had with the captain, instead setting about cutting down surviving crew members. Few were skilled enough or armed to challenge him, instead falling like chaff to his blade. Most of the skilled warriors had been sent out to repel boarders with only the handful already faced left as guards. Bridge officers and technical crewmen were no match for his blade.

As he finished the last of his weak enemies he inspected the bridge, very spartan, military, lacking much of the excess of his own bridge though it was mostly mechanically the same. The primary entranceway was now a melted hole, the command platform was several meters away and empty, the captain having been at the helm of his vessel near the control pit. At the helm he found what he had hoped to find here, turning on the ship wide vox be broadcast his message throughout the vessel, "This is Prince Alaistair Godwin Lafayette Captain and Lord of the vessel Dark Desire. Forces of the Imperium, surrender now to the forces of the Dark Gods about you, there is no escape from this doomed vessel. I am your only salvation from doom. Warlord Beraesh, I am currently aboard the bridge, I await you just as I await the end to our conversation we started some time ago. Forces who once served Beraesh, surrender yourselves to the forces of the Dark Desire and be welcomed as future brothers aboard my magnificent vessel."

He smirked under his helmet as he drew out his plasma pistols and loaded in fresh clips for them as well as setting them to maximum power. It was his intent to end this fight in a single blow. There was little cover and so Alaistair stood in the open, both pistols ready and pointed at the door ready for his foe to arrive. Everyone on the ship likely heard the message and given their history he knew Beraesh would be coming for him. Turning to his Eldar companion he spoke again, "Ready yourself, this foew will be far more resilient than we are familiar with."

Friday I hope to run through a game so people can see, also Gowia in the PM I sent to let people know about this I showed a link for how you can get the rules.

Warhammer Weekend

Ah, Tau scum, you can expect to be purged soon enough.

The Dark Gods Servants

Alright, since it has gotten difficult for Mortarion to keep with us in IRC I am moving us to the OOC.

BurningDaisies, I still need the rest of your post, Mortarion I need yours as well.

I also reworked the intended encounter after I realized I was going to cause a TPK.

I will have my own post up in a bit, then I would like everyone save for Fallen Muse to progress their posts up to meeting on the bridge.

Warhammer Weekend

I have noticed a growing number of 40k fans on the site lately as well as many interested in the tabletop of 40k. For that I would like to propose an event this weekend using Vassal to play Warhammer 40,000. People who have not played in awhile can get back into it, people who have always wanted to try can learn, and those who know it get to have the fun of educating newbies.

The following program is needed to play 40k online as well as the core rulebook and codex for your army of choice

Warhammer 40k Module

Alright, Fallenmuse I need the rest of your post after the breach.

BurningDaisies, awesome post and you have most of the information up to meeting that group.

The Dark Gods Servants

Alaistair strode through the ship passages with impunity Kaillan at his side easily dispatching those who stood before them. Few stood a chance of even approaching Kaillan as she cut them down with her rending whips sundering limbs from bodies and cutting men apart. Alaistair kept his pistol at the ready but had no intention of using it quite yet, the pathetic beings who stood before them now did not merit the ammunition it would take to remove them from his path. Instead he used his sword to slay the rare few who managed to not be eviscerated in an instant by the whirling whips which seemed to control the entire corridor in which they tread. This ship held passages much like his own, a standard Lunar class he knew exactly where they were going as they went up through the levels ever closer to his target.

As they drew closer to the main bridge through the command decks they encountered fewer and fewer living beings in the damaged passageways, no doubt a result of the boarding parties taking the ship from both sides. Nothing could be afforded to be held in reserve, such an act made his plan easier. Though he made sure to be on the alert for the defenders he knew would be about.

Such vigilance paid off, with his own blessed hearing and that of his current companion detected the measured but heavy tread of heavy infantry. Looking to Kaillan she gave him one of her menacing yet seductive smiles and said simply, "One moment master.” With that the a grenade was around the corner and she was a moment later. She was so fast it was often hard to track her with the human eye and as her clone field came one line became borderline impossible. Naturally before he had even finished clearing the corner with both plasma pistols now free of their holsters she was already practically on top of them.

Heavy bolter and hellgun fire ripped out from the pair of stormtroopers even able to fire after the grenade had thrown went off amongst them. Slashing at one man he could not react as the whip fried his nervous system, Alaistair took aim with both plasma pistols on two targets frozen by the Dark Eldar weaponry and while the one in his left hand released a pair of bolts that scorched the flesh from the man at the heavy bolters. With that Kaillan was off, into the handful of men at the same time though Alaistair let out a howl of agony as his second pistol malfunctioned and scorched his skin even through the protection of his armor. Seeing an open target two men fired their hellguns at the momentarily shocked Slaaneshi worshiper only for his power armor to negate the entirety of the attack. Knowing that he could not count on the same thing to happen again he fired out with his still functional pistol bringing down a second stormtrooper before withdrawing to the corner of the hallway to provide some cover while he recovered himself.

While unable to watch he could certainly hear his Dark Eldar continue to fight and with the amount of hellgun firing being released he knew she would not last forever with the current odds. Holstering both pistols he drew his power sword and charged down the short distance to where the stormtroopers were preparing to fire again on Kaillan as she appeared to be slowly tearing down the defenses of another stormtrooper. Turning one of the men began firing him with one shot punching through his armor though it only winged him and so Alaistair continued on attempting to strike the stormtrooper that fired on him but the man was skilled with close combat. Ditching his gun for a combat knife, in such a fight, a simple man carapace armor with a combat knife against a being blessed by the gods themselves, wielding a power sword of the finest manufacture, sheathed in armor that can shrug off bolter there could be but one outcome. The man acquitted himself well for his stature in life though deftly dodging and avoiding blows from the lethal field of energy about the blade. All the while attempting to strike true a telling blow of his own.

In time though his defenses were worn down and Alaistair succeeded, cutting the man apart with his power sword. Turning about to face the last man standing he found only an unharmed Kaillan standing amidst the corpses. He could not hep but let out a minor laugh having through she would truly need his help against these men in such tight confines. Oh well what was done was done, taking a moment to inspect his badly burned arm he was mildly distracted by Kaillan as she seemed to be rummaging now through the arms locker the stormtroopers had left open.
