Ser giggles a little bit before getting on all fours and bowing his head. You kneel down and begin to pray.

>Luck of the Pious: Roll a 1d6. Add the result of that roll to your next roll. Must be stated in your roll and must have at least three votes. One use only.
>Fury be my Sword: Once per thread. You may add a crit to a success.

You feel His hand upon your shoulder as you begin to pray.

Ser gets up and start to walk around for a bit before going out of the cave and looking around. You go to check on Asalia, who is still asleep. She begins to stir and yawns.

"Good Morning, Nameless. I believe it is time for our journey correct?"

You nod and grab your things. Asalia looks at her wound and then gets up, grunting a little bit. You look over and see that her movements seem sluggish and jagged.

>Something wrong?
>Stay silent and get ready.

>>33502023
>>Stay silent and get ready

>>33502023

>>33502054
>>33502092
>>33502101
She looks to you and falls over.

"Damn... I think my armor is failing me... It must be damaged or running out of power."

She tries to move, but only makes long grunts. She finally sighs and tries to look at you.

"Give me a moment, I'll try and take my armor off."

>Without help?
>Alright, I'll be outside.

>>33502177
>Without help?
OH BABY

>>33502177
>Without help?

>>33502177
>>Alright, I'll be outside.

>>33502208

>>33502253
>>33502255
"... Alright..."

You begin to reach down to the armor and you look at it.
And look at it.
And look at it.
Asalia sighs and tries to talk you through it.

"First, remove the pack."

You do as she says and take the pack off. Upon getting the pack off, you do notice that there are some scorch marks on the power pack from her run in with the traitor guard.

"Okay, now listen..."

>Taking off armor. (1D10, taking the highest of three rolls (Just a reminder.) Also impementing a new system, if there are three rolls that are all under what you need, I will now go to the lowest roll.)
>1 Crit Fail.

>1 Crit Fail.

You begin to fumble with her leg armor.

"Alright, now be careful, if your not careful you could-"

>SNAP

Asalia breaths in sharply bangs on the ground. She closes her eyes quickly and holds them shut. You can hear some small grunts of pain as she looks at you.

"Break... My leg..."

Asalia breaths in breaths out.

"Okay... It's alright, I can make a cast..."

>I'm just going to go now.
>Let's keep going then.

You continue on and finally get Asalia's armor off as Ser walks in. Asalia looks down to see that her right leg is bending the wrong way. Ser sees this and runs over to Asalia.

"Are yoou well, Hooly Oone?..."

Asalia keeps a calm demeanor as she turns to Ser.

"I am fiIAAAAAY!"

Ser prods the leg with his finger and then jumps back.

"No, no, no, baaad! We no travel!"

"It's fine, I'll just make a cast."

Ser whimpers and looks up into the sky. It seems a little dark, compared to yesterday.

"What saay you, Silent Oone?"

>I don't see what the big deal is.
>Wait, what do you mean?
>Yeah, we'll need to stay.

>>33502708
>I WILL MAKE THE CAST
Also.
We've some sort of super-marine if we can snap power armor legs like that.

>>33502708

>Yeah, we'll need to stay.

>>33502823
>>33502746
"Fine, we'll stay then."

Asalia sighs and tries to get up on a rock.

"I'll try and make a cast."

Ser looks up at the sky and starts to whimper again.

"Thiis... No goood...Baaad times..."

You look up at the sky and notice that a lot of clouds have gathered around a place far away from here. You look over at Asalia as she is trying to make a cast. You then notice that other mutants huddling around the altar Ser made.

>That's not good.
>Superstitious folk.

>>33502942
>>That's not good.

>>33502942

>>33502993
>>33503001
>>33503031
You look to Ser as he starts to draw some sort of rune at the entrance of the cave. You recognize it as a rune of warding and Ser is making a pretty big one. You look into the distance and you see a very large wall of darkness heading towards you right now. Ser is almost finished with the rune as he pulls out a small bottle from his pack. He pours some water of the rune and begins to pray.

>Help him pray.
>Get Asalia to help Ser bless the rune.

You try and remember a correct prayer, but fail to remember anything that could help you through this. You look to Ser and see that he is deep in prayer. You decide not to disturb him as you watch the wall of darkness getting closer and closer. After a minute or so, Ser looks down at his makeshift rune and whimpers. He tries to pray again, but then he jumps up and begins to cry.

"Noo! Is Seer not Pioous enough?"

He looks to you and you can see the helplessness in his eyes. Asalia looks up at you and then at Ser, oblivious to what was happening around her. She then looks out to see the massive wall of darkness heading towards you all.

"No... I've seen this before..."

Asalia looks down at the ground and grabs your hand. She also beckons to Ser, who then runs over to Asalia.

"Our faith will be our only protection. Not runes, not armor... If you are faithful to Him, then he will guide your soul through this storm..."

>Pray (1D10, +1 to roll (Asalia))

>>33503444
You hear the screams of the mutants who are now running out of the cave get swallowed up by darkness as Asalia is yelling out her prayers and Ser is trying his hardest not to run away. In your mind, you remember one prayer that you learned while you were very young. You begin to pray...

The darkness enveloped you for a good two hours, the voices inside telling you to stop and to listen to them, but you knew better. The voices stop and you look around you for a few seconds as you stand up. Asalia sits up straight, exhausted from yelling out her prayers. Ser quickly goes to your side and grabs your pant leg.

"Is... Is the Darkness ooover?"

You look outside to see that it is nice and sonny again, except for the twisted remains of the mutants. You look at the corpses of the guardsmen and the shredded remains of the marine to see that the body of the marine was torn out of his armor.

>Look around for some supplies on the guardsmen.
>Let's head back inside and rest.

>>33503605
>>Look around for some supplies on the guardsmen.

>>33503605
>Take the power supply from the marine's power armour and put it in the SoB's

>>33503605
>Look around for some supplies on the guardsmen.
with a bit of luck, maybe we could fix her power armor, at least temporarly

>Look ariund for some supplies

>>33503636
>>33503672
>>33503683
You start to look around and find that a lot of their heads have been torn off by the mutants. You see many of their heads on sticks and some of their bodies have been impaled. However, you do notice that there is an eerie silence now, almost like the world is holding its breath.

You come back to the cave with some food and a repair kit, as well as a medical kit and some spare parts a guardsman was lugging around.

>Repair Asalia's armor.
>Fix up Asalia using the medical kit.
>Rest up.

>>33503780
>Fix up Asalia using the medical kit.

>>33503780
>Fix up Asalia using the medical kit.

>>33503780
>>Fix up Asalia using the medical kit.

>Fix up Asalia using the medical kit.

>>33503797
>>33503814
>>33503822
>>33503868
You look at Asalia's leg and you see that it is getting pretty swollen now. You look in the medical kit and find a cold pack to help keep the swelling down. You finally get Asalia's leg fixed up. Now it just needs to heal up. However, the cast you have made will not be able to allow Asalia to put her armor back on.

>One action left.

>Rest up.
>Fix up Asalia's armor.
>Talk to Ser.
>Talk to Asalia.

>>33503994
>Talk to Asalia.

>>33504056

I'll break the tie with this.

Asalia looks up at your and then back down at her leg.

"Thank you... For helping with my leg."

Asalia looks at you and smile.

"You know, I never expected this. To go relic hunting, only to get shot in the side and back by some traitor guardsmen... I also never thanked you for finding me and saving me... I am in your debt."

>It was nothing.
>Yeah you are.
>Stay silent.

>>33504329
>>33504335
You stay silent and nod. Asalia looks down at herself and sighs.

"If you were anyone else, I would have beaten you to a pulp for seeing me in my undergarments."

You look down to see that, indeed, Asalia is in a tan tube top and a loin cloth.

"I wish I brought a robe or something with me, but it gets uncomfortable underneath the power armor."

>Wait, why is it alright for me?
>I'm gonna get some rest.
>Stay silent and nod.

>Stay silent and nod.

>>33504443
Just curious here, has nameless' height/weight been mentioned?

>>33504727
No. We can assume he's the height of an average Space Marine, however, which is like 7 feet tall and he's probably like 350 lbs

>>33504756
He's more like a primarch, we literally snapped power armour in half

>>33504585
>>33504624
Choosing this to break the tie.

Asalia smiles a bit and lays down.

"I don't know why I'm talking to you about power armor, you haven't earned yours yet. I'm sure that you've proven yourself worthy time and time again during this campaign of ours..."

Asalia is silent for a few moments before talking again.

"I wonder if they miss us... Our brothers and sisters?... I know my blood sister will be."

Before you can speak, however, Asalia sits back up and sighs.

"Ah, but look at me, talking as if we've no hope of being rescued or even getting back to the stronghold. We have a long day ahead of us, so I'm going to get to bed."

Asalia smiles at you and brushes her hair away from her face.

"Good night, Nameless."

She lays down and curls up a little bit. You look over at Ser and see that he has curled up next to you while you were sitting next to Asalia. You lay down and start to drift to sleep.
---
Around midnight, you hear something outside the cave. You slowly awaken from your slumber and look outside. Grabbing your sniper rifle, you go out to see that someone is in the rock outcropping.

>Stay hidden and scan the rocks for movement.
>Move towards the rocks and search the rock forest.
>Yell out for whoever is in the rock forest.

>>33504874
>Move towards the rocks and search the rock forest.

>>33504874
>Move towards the rocks and search the rock forest.

>Mfw we snapped through power armor without power armour of our own
Holy shit

>>33504874
>Stay hidden and scan the rocks for movement.

>>33504874
Morris code that guy, surely there is something of the sort. If he does not respond he is likely hostile. Scope him

Stay hidden and scan the rocks moveent.

>>33504874
>>Stay hidden and scan the rocks for movement.

We should head out and rout him. He could be a traitor spy and if we stay here, we might miss an attempt to gain information and blow our cover if we let him escape

>>33504935
>>33504950
>>33504953
You duck behind the rocks and see that there some movement down below. You look through the scope of your sniper rifle, but find that it's hard to get a good look at the figures, as they are moving fairly fast. You feel as though you've seen this before... Before you can do anything else, a bolt shell flies past you as you hit the ground.

>Who are you?

You hear some whispers down below as you see a familiar face. It's Hendrick and he has company.

"Wait a second... Nameless? Tarik, I think it's him!"

Hendrick tries to get up, but is pulled down by Tarik. He pulls off Tarik's hand from his shirt.

"It's him, I know it!... Fine, Tarik wants to know if it's actually you!"

>Course it's me.

Stay silent.

>>33505218
>>33505242
>>33505250
You get up and look right at Hendrick. You see Hendrick hold back a few tears and waves right at you.

"That's him alright... That's my silent brother..."

Hendrik walks over to you and climbs up to where you were.

"Oh Emperor, I thought you were dead. You've missed so much..."

You look down and see that Tarik is heavily bandaged and is missing a hand.

"Thank you for helping me up, Hendrick."

Hendrick looks down and quickly helps Tarik up.

"Did you tell him of our situation."

"Oh hell, I almost forgot... We have a problem..."

>What sort of problem?
>Tell me about it in the morning. Come inside and rest.

>>33505383
>>What sort of problem?

>>33505383

>>33505405
>>33505419
>>33505441
Hendrick looks at you straight in the eyes and then sighs, looking down at the ground.

"We... We failed to take the city... The Imperial Guard have been routed and many of our battle brothers have been killed or have gone missing... I... I think we're all that's left. Some of the Sisters of Battle are in hiding in the city and some are in the desert, but we don't have an effective fighting force anymore..."

You look over at Tarik and find that he is sitting on the ground, his back against the wall as he looks up into the night sky.

"His squad was destroyed during the first breech in the walls. He barely survived. Aristol found him while we were pulling out of the city and put him inside the rhino."

>Who is left?
>How could this have happened?
>Come on, you can rest in the caves.

>>33505585
>>Come on, you can rest in the caves.

>Come on, you can rest in the caves.

>Come on, you can rest in the caves.

>>33505620
>>33505638
>>33505677
Hendrick looks into the cave and nods.

"Tarik, you go and rest, I'll go and get the rest."

Tarik nods slightly and struggles to get up. You watch as he huddles up into a corner and he quickly falls asleep.

"I was able to get back to the stronghold before the daemon storm swept across the desert. I gathered who I could and made for the caves here. I have Captain Marshton, Commander Balzer, Amelia, Emily, and Sarge with a few other guardsmen and the techmarine and chaplain... Our chaplain is really worn out right now, he put up some sort of ward while we drove towards the caves, passed out as soon as the storm passed..."

You go with Hendrick to help everyone out of the rhino and to show them how to get to your cave. The group's morale and health is really low. Emily is tending to Amilia's wounds and Captain Marshton's gaping hole in his sides. Balzar is silent and barely even acknowledges you. Everyone is worn out and is hurting really bad. You'll be hearing the rest of the news in the morning, but you know that it's not going to be good news.

How the fuck did you think that was a good idea? Fucking honestly? The dice were perfectly fine before, now they are fucked and we're suffering for it.

>>33505905
Thanks for the thread, glad to see this back

>>33506416
before we had a really high chance of having a critical hit, and almost no risk of having a critfail

>>33506596
before we had just as much of a chance of the dice going either way, and they did, fairly often if you go back and look at past threads

now though, these 'improvements' heavily skew results towards failure especially as the DC moves higher the dice get more biased towards lower results instead of it being up to a single dice rolling well its now many dice rolling well otherwise we're fucked

it makes no sense, what we had before was working well, and these 'improvements' just fuck everything up

don't fix what ain't broke or you get what happen here, you fuck it up
