FAQ:
>What the fuck is this?
Somewhat a campaign of crack-infused free-form roleplay in the grim darkness of the far future.

>When do you guys make these threads?
Usually mondays at 4PM GMT, but they sometimes extend to Tuesdays if we got caught in the middle of something when the thread died and it was too late to make another one the same day.

>Can I join in?
Sure, just think of a character and have fun, you can find most info in 1d4chan albeit it's ussually a little bit out of date in comparison to where the threads are.

>Is there any requirement in character creation.
Not really, we've had Xeno infiltrators, Chaos infiltrators, Villains, Heroes, Normal Guardsmen, Crazed Guardsmen, Assassins, Psykers, Space Marines, Inquisitors, Squats... just think whathever and join the fun.

>Is it allowed to have more than a single character?
Yes as long as you don't use it to powerplay.

>So how you guys do the playan'?
We tend to use spoilers for OOC chat, but nothing is set in stone.
We tend to use greentexts for describing a character's actions, but again nothing is set in stone.
Use d20s for combat checks and d100s for other things you want to roll, higher Is better.
It's important to know that the regiment is now in the employ of a radical Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, with influence from an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor and under the watch of an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor. Yes we've been through a lot of shit.

>they regroup one by one and seek out the safest spot, which happens to be where malak and the others are

Don't be ridiculous, I am professional. I'm dropping you where some of our evacuation drop pods landed, they made a camp here. There are still more pods and boarding torpedoes lost in space, I'll make some flights around to pick them up.
>Drops the pods that Malak and others were using.

Oddball you want me to unload the tank here too?

>His vox would cut off as his pod begins to enter the atmosphere. The pod heating up from re-entry, and spinning out of control.
>>Inside the pod, malak would be screaming for mercy, being the only one inside in it.
GONNA BE SICK! DEAR GOD I'M GONNA BE SICK!!!
>It would take all his willpower to keep from vomiting inside his power armors helmet.
>Eventually, the pod would break through. before shortly after, harshly crash landing somewhere in a mountainous forest.

"A proffesional, darling? You are anything BUT proffesional..."
>He'd smirk as much as a skeleton could
"Don't take that as an insult"

>they appear out of a hallway
>one short tan man with a shotgun
>one large, pale tattoeed man with an impressive knife and las rifle
>one nose-less nervous man with teeth filed to resemble a shark's, shotgun
>a faceplate wielding flamer specialist in thick uniform
>a thick beareded man with a neck scar and a las rifle

Shark: We can help

When... Is... Your skin going to grow back? You already creep me out enough just by being you, but the skeleton face makes it worse.

"We'll stay with you until you've got them all ma'am. Can't be too careful."

I am driving a thunderhawk, there is no hallways.

Also no, you can't, unless you can breath on space or have a ship of your own.

>they take a seat and buckle up, the large man vomits in a bag

>In Escape Pod with Jimmy and Holdrin
Jaemis: "Hey, Miss Victoria, do you have our russ by any chance with you on the thunder hawk?"

As you preffer.
>She lands so the survivors of the ship can get out.
Make haste guys, still got drop pods drifting space to pick!

Am... Afraid not, I am carrying Oddball's Tay tank... Anya's injured inside and I could only get one vehicle.

>There would be darkness....
>Not the kind of darkness you'd expect from a malfunctioning escape pod. But the kind that you would observe will unconscious after crash landing inside said pod.
>He wouldn't know how much time would pass, but eventually, the regiments ACO would regain consciousness. His body is splayed out on the floor, and everything hurts like hell.
Ugggggh.... I feel like I just rode an express elevator to hell....
>He'd look about the pods interior. Itself only lit up by a small flashing red light, and the occasional spark from a burst console.

>they unstrap and get out, one slips and rolls out of the craft

>they make space and look around the drop zone

Jaemis: "Well, that's another thing to requisition from the Munitorum once we make contact with them. We will await pickup."

>Switches channels to commander

Jaemis: "Commander, we have the safe with the device. Do you have orders for us once we reach the planet?"

Tau tank*

>After unloading, she'd take off to get more men floating space on ground.
This overuse of the hawk is so going to burn the engines...
>She'd shake her head of her negative thoughts.
No matter. Got lives to save.

>On her flight she picks other three pods, yours ammong them, and redirects them towards the planetoid's surface.

>He hears a distant voice
Get up... They need you... Now! Move, soldier!

Rolled 70 (1d100)

>they rally to the commander and attempt to open his pod from the outside

>They give their thanks and await orders

Well... this absolutely sucks... but I bet I got off the easiest on that ride...
>He'd slowly pick himself off the pods floor, before checking on his equipment.

Suit power... check.
Autocannon.... fine.
Life support... a-ok!
Everything else, seems fine! Now I just have to find the others...
>He'd activate his vox

Echo, echo! Can anyone hear me? This is Captain Ordenius to anyone who can hear me please acknowledge!
>He'd wait for a moment, by he'd receive only static.

Great.... either they can't hear me, or they're not receiving... just my luck.
>He'd let out a sigh, before opening up the pods door, and jumping out, and to the ground.
>The sight wouldn't be pretty. It seems hisnpid had skidded across the ground for a good hundred meters before finally hitting a rock large enough to have caused the pod to flip into air, before crashing exit up.

>they run up to him

Hoff: Sir are you allright?

>the others secure the area

That won't really happen, will it Vic?
>Oddball nonetheless hops between manning the guns and checking the Enginseer's station.

Gotta stay fly mate.
>Keeps doing her job.

Hopefully not.
>Finds another set of pods
Alright, Oddball this should be the last batch.
>She redirects the last three pods drifting on space in collission course with the planet's surface.

How is she...?

"I am afraid that is not happening, darling...until my next voyage to the warp"

One minute, I'll check.
"Irwin, how's Anya, Vic wants to know.....uh huh....okay I'll tell her."

Sleeping ma'am, seems she's still having nightmares but they aren't as bad as the -worst- ones we've seen thankfully.

Rolled 54 (1d100)

>they secure the sir tank

Hoff: This is those..other guy's tank, should we call them?
Vasques: Yeah.. lets do that

>Vasques tries the vox

Guess I'll go....
>He looks up at the sky, hopeing to see the sun.
>He doesn't.... it's night time.
That way...?
>He'd look in a random direction, unsure of where he even is.

Not like I can get anymore lost...

>He'd sigh, before marching off in said random direction. Hopeing to find some form of civilization.

by the way, bravo teams helicopt- I mean, Valkyrie should be crashing any second now!

>They sit around having nothing to do

Jimmy: "This sucks."

Holdrin: "Tell me about it."

>Vox beeps for Jaemis

Jaemis: "Artillery Expert Jaemis speaking..."

>leroy grabs the vox from vasques

Leroy: Yes, hello, this is... the disbanded zealot squad, we found your tank.

Rolled 22 (1d100)

Well at least that's goo-
>A small explosion wluld occur outside, redlights flashing over the pilot's cabin.
Brace for impact everyone! It's as bad as I feared! The engines burned out!
>She tries to control the inminent crash, it's ay off-course towards a completely desolated locagion.

Rolled 83 (1d100)

>rolling to notice the crash

Why is nothing ever simple?!
>Oddball braces for impact in the Co-Pilots chair.
>The rest of the Crewmen brace inside the Hammerhead too.

"THIS IS GOING TO HURT!"

Jaemis: "What!?"

Jimmy: "Whats wrong boss?"

Jaemis: "They found our Russ!"

>They are visibly happy

Jaemis: "Alright, youre gonna have to drive it here. Here is what you do..."

>Gives details of how to drive and turn

Jaemis: "Now remeber not to turn to far to the left, or its gonna drift really badly. Yeah we didnt get a tech priest to check it ye..."

Jaemis: "....Ah shit. You seeing this?"

Rolled 36 (1d100)

Hoff: Right, meet us at the... crashed ship, over

Leroy: Allright men, lets get this bad boy on the run!
>they go inside and hit gas
>roll for speed

Rolled 31 (1d100)

>They make their way to the crash site
>Rolling for how fast they get there

>You notice the ship leaving a trail of smoke as it goes down, it is far away from everyone, heading to some rocky formations that'd take at least 30 or 20 minutes to reach with a transport, and then you'd have to climb up.

>The crash is not pretty at all.
>It leaves a charred 29meters long trail of lifted dirt before colliding against a rock.
>The impact compresses the pilot's cabin against itself, a little bit more and Vic would be a pulp of crushed armor and blood.
>She's hurt badly by this crash, her helmet's visor completely fractured against the ship controls, cuts over her face, broken arm, legs stuck on the seat...
>She was holding Sterbridge's Kroot Parrot between her hands and it made it out safely, it only costed her a broken arm in return to protect that thing.

Shark: OUT!

>they all jump out to not get trapped/crushed

>With his suits enhanced sensors, he'd be able to hear the sound if the transport crashing, but he wouldn't have been able to see where it landed.

Shit! Thats not something I wanted to hear!

>He'd try once again to Vox somebody from the regiment.

This is Captain Ordenius, to any member of Theta gamma! Respond immediately!

Vest*
Also, back.

Didn't you guys arrive a bit quickly for a half-an-hour-by-transport away crash?

Jaemis: "Alright, go ahead and meet up with your squad. We will climb after you."

exactly... only malak is probably close enough. Those guys are like 12miles away.

Kane, get her into the Hammerhead it looks......intact. Apart from the Long Range comms.
"Crewmen call out!"
>"Driver up""
>"Gunner up....somehow."
>"Comms up.....gear is busted though."

Hoff:
>uncomforably silent

>She's knocked out cold... And her helm, or what remains of it, is blocking most of your taps.

"Wait!"
"...fine...can someone help me carry her?"

Jaemis: "Its fine. We can requisition a new one once we get contact with the Munitorum. I dont believe we met properly. Jaemis, Artillery expert. These two are Jimmy and Holdrin, my crew."

>The other two salute

>Oddball hastily helps Kane pull Victoria through the Commander's hatch and drops in himself.

Kane! Get in here! We can worry about waking her up when we -aren't- in danger of blowing up!

>Once Kane climbs in, the Hammerhead is moved through the remains of the Cargo hatch and starts off down the opposite side of the mountain.
"Vena Vena! Careful! If you cock up we're all dead!"
>"I know what I am doing comrade, just give me directions."

Jaemis: "Well, its nice to meet you all."

>Looks to the distance where the crash is.

Jaemis: "So how long do you think until we get to the crash site?"

>Once everyone is out, the hawk blows up.

Vasques: Ehh... hard to tell, about 2 hours?
Leroy: Lets get on the way then
>shark nodding estaticly

>they head out on foot

>without knowing where the group had crashed, Malak would be forced to make his way aimlessly through the dark woods around him. His Autocannon aimed Infront of him.

Emperor, if you can hear me.... please let the others be alright.... and please let there be some kind of building nearby...

>Alice, not knowing of the events that happened, has been continuing on her course.
>This course brings her Cruiser to Orbit over Gospyria, where she attempts to comm the Necrons.

>His suits sensors would pick up on this.

FUCK! AND PLEASE LET HER BE ALIVE!!!

"So...I read her mind for a while...your vest only kept me from direct conversation..."
>he looks at Oddball
"How come it you didn't figure out that Moxos is a servant of Tzeentch?"

>A familiar voice comes over the comms
Alice! It is good to see you.

>"captain, we detect various drop pods managing landfall. Should we pursue them before they transmit a signal for help?"

They don't have equipment to transmit a signal, they'd need to get to the cities, and you already know the Terminus Est landed here last year, they won't make it out of this lifeless rock. Our hideout is safe.

>Agree's and goes with

Jimmy: "Woah.... I hope they made it out."

>This prompts a simultaneous outcry of "HE WAS WHAT?" from 5 members of the crew, the non-speaking one being Anya, who is trying to remove Vic's helmet without making anything worse.
We....um....actually didn't know that. We were guarding the Medbay when he went stupid.
>The Hammerhead finally gets to the end of the mountain as Oddball pops out the hatch with a pair of Binos.
City to the North! Onwards Driver!

Leroy: Yo, Jaemis, did you see the duel on Dakkalord's ship?

>they walk

>You see a lightgreen glow on the darkness ahead.

"...but you do know she kissed Malak...right?"

>You take off her helmet. Her face is heavily bruised and blood's pouring out if the left ear.

>They are still walking

Jaemis: "If that is part of the regiments history, then forgive me for not brushing up on my studies. We only just recently were put into the regiment after they requested for requisition on... Bakka, I think it was called. But I assume this Dakkalord was an ork warboss?"

>In the forests, there are shapes moving in the vague direction of the Drop Pods, as well as the Mountain where the Hawk crashed.
>Some are fast, some are slow.....some are small, some are large.
>The only thing similar between all of them is the quiet sounds they emit, steadily growing louder as they close.

Shark: Oh yes, you know what happened on there?

Hoff: Peepers called a duel between himself and a nob called Skrappa-Lobba

Unarmed

Do I go towards the light...
>He'd turn his head towards noises coming from
....
I think the lights the better choice!
>He'd make his way cautiously towards the flow before him. Ready to let fly a hell storm of explosive Autocannon rounds if he doesn't like what he sees.

>Oddball glances down at Kane with a confused look.
Why.....would I even be bothered about that? I'm not her dad.
>Anya however flinches and whispers "Figures...." as she grabs a Medkit and presses some gauze to Vic's ear.
>"We're gonna need a Hospital or something. Blood coming from the ear is never good."

>The vehicle presses onwards.

>The light seems to emanate from an humanoid, almost skeletal in nature, it moves rather slowly and silently, as a hunter stalking for prey...

Jaemis: "Interesting. Must have been quite the show. I assume peepers won, considering the orks 'fight and kill everything' attitude."

Holdrin: "Isn't peepers the guy who drove a transport ship straight through the void shields?"

>Beta does a hacking chuckle

Vasques: Why you think peepers got the implants in the first place?
Leroy: He got allmost killed by that xenos

Hoff: Still.. challenging an ork nob in unarmed...

>He mumbles to himself
Why can't life ever be easy...?
>He'd use his helmets sensors to enhance the visual, and brighten the visual.

>The shape becomes clear.

Jaemis: "Only the brave and stubborn would do it. I heard he was also a man of faith. Would explain his zelatory acts."

Rolled 3 + 20 (1d100 + 20)

>Malak and the others make very little noise with walking compared to a Pod landing or explosions, so most of the figures seem content to continue towards the pods.....mostly.

Rolling for any Zombies to notice them, penalty because they haven't made noise.

"Nevermind then...thought you liked gossip..."
>He'd flinch
"I feel the presence of chaos on this planet..."

>He's let out a sigh of relief t this sight, before activating his vox.

Exile! It's Captain Ordenius. I'm coming out of the treeline at your 4'o clock. Do not open fire.

Leroy: He was a great example, everything he wanted was to become a battle priest

Hoff: He even defied orders in effort to save his friend, Malak

Vasques: ...
>the man sighs trough his nose and shakes his head

Vasques: ..its not the end he deserved

>beta's head looks at the ground

>unnoticed it seems

I am as well, if only it was under better circumstances. Speaking of.....I might need your assistance with a.....matter, if you're willing.
>Alice sounds somewhat stressed.

Anything for an old friend. What do you require?

>Tackles you to the floor and puts his hand on the mouth of your power armor.
>Aims around to check if anything followed you.
Shh.
The activity of the father of plagues is clear in this lifeless rock.

How certain are you?
>Oddball sticks his head out of the hatch again and sweeps the area for contacts.
And....what -kind-?
>Anya fetches a Hypo of Painkillers from the Medkit and jabs it in Vic's arm.

>Her pained face seems to relax a bit.
Must... Save... Everyone...
>She's still out of it, probably having a bad dream.
