[X] Go Greased Lightnin
- [X] Yeah (Makguk joins Chimera with Grots, it'll make managing them easier.)
- [X] "Dey wanna race, we give 'em a race!" (Try and beat the Kult of Speed at their own game)
"Hey, boss! I say's; if dey wanna race so bad, den let's give em a proppa, Gorky Boy race!"
"Shut it, Gitz-Toof! I was already gunna say dat, but youz wasted time gabbin' over me! Stop mucking about and GET DIS RIG GOING FASTAH!!!"
With the thunderous confirmation of Vagdug, Blitztoof yanked down the goggles over his Trukk Hat and stretched them over his face before letting go, letting the goggles slap back down over his eyes. Gripping both levers in front of himself, he yelled up to Makguk in the turret.
"Make sure dem grots know not ta fall off! I ain't chasing dem down again!" The Runtherda responding with a sharp kick to the Trukk Boyz back as he swung the turret in the direction of the rapidly encroaching Evil Sunz. And with that, Blitztoof shoved both levers from 'Slog' to 'WAAAGH'.
The Kustomized Chimera rushed down the highway, crushing piles of scrap as it began to pick up speed. Not far behind the Warbikez swerved around the trash in hot pursuit. Makguk traversed the Heavy Bolter towards the closest one and began to let loose, but the slow moving line of tracers was having trouble pinning them down.
"Makguk, stop missin' and start hittin'!"
"Dese Speed Freaks don' like ta stay still! Dey got a need, fer speed!"
Pulling up along the right side, one bike with two orks skidded across ferrocrete with choppa's in hand. The grots atop turned and began peppering the two with their tiny blasta's to little effect. They might as well have been using pop guns. The one sitting on the back seat stood up and used the driver as a brace. Though unsteady and wobbly, the Ork lept across the gap and landed on the side of the Chimera before pulling himself up, and not a moment too soon. Blitztoof pulled back the right lever which caused the Trukk to swerve and slam right into the speed freak and his tiny ride. The metal mass of the Chimera unseated the Wallkrasha and sent his bike rolling wheel over wheel until it hit the ferrocrete barrier of the highway, skipping over the side until it crashed back into the ground far below with a fiery explosion.
While those high maneuvers were happening Makguk had popped open the hatch and crawled out to deal with the ride-along, leaving the bolter under the careful guidance of his personal grot, Squigbait. The Runtherda hunched tall and took in the Wallkrasha in all his rough glory. This ork wore a black leather vest leaving his muscular arms bare and showing off tattoo's that seemed carved up by knives and had ink rubbed into the scars. The Freak wore a stalheim styled helmet with a sharp spike pointing up from the top, as did the other Wallkrasha's from Makguk's point of view. This Speed Freak flashed his fangs in a cruel black smile as he threw a grot over his shoulder and yanked out a length of heavy chains that he began swinging around like a flail.
On seeing one of his precious grots getting pulverized on the road, Makguk snarled and pulled out his own weapon; a length of barbed wire that had been woven together to form a crude whip.
"Ain't no git touchin' me grots…" Makguk threw his arm back.
"'Cept me!" The whip came forward with a viscous crack.
Blitztoof vs Bikez and Buggies: 22 + 5 (Former Trukk Experience) + 10 ('Eavy Shoota's) + 5 (Grot Accuracy) = 42 vs 89 + 10 (Speed Freaks) + 15 (Warbikes and Buggies) = 114 (Failure)
With the two orks slugging it out on top, Blitztoof was having a harder time down below. The two other bikes had pulled out ahead of Blitz-Toof's trukk and were peppering the front with slugs and blocking his vision with dust and smoke. One slugga even punched through the front armor with a shower of sparks and bounced around the cabin until it found a home in some unfortunate orks rear end, much to his chagrin. Blitztoof growled at the two annoyances ahead. If only the road was a little less curvy he could just ram the two off. Instead, he took his annoyance out on the team of grots curled over the bolter in the cupola. "WHATS WIFF DA LACK A' DAKKA, YOU GIT-HEAD!?"
"It's Squigbait, boss," Corrected the smarmy goblin. "An' da shoota's got's a jammy-thing goin' on!" Blitztoof roared as he missed crushing one of the bikez with his treads by a hair for the third time.
Everyone in the trukk jerked forward suddenly as the buggy, bringing up the rear of the Wallkrasha's force slammed into the back of the chimera. It felt like the Speed Freaks were trying to pen Blitztoof and his trukk in, maybe trying to run his ride off the road. This was getting pretty sticky, and Blitztoof had to change something fast. Thankfully, the moaning of the wounded boy out back gave the trukk boy the inspiration he needed.
Blitztoof and Co. vs Bikez and Buggies: 19 + 5 (Former Trukk Experience) + 15 ('Eavy Shoota's/Grot Accuracy) + 20 (Vagdug and the Mob) = 59 vs 38 + 10 (Speed Freaks) + 10 (Buggie) = 58 (Success)
On a rather straight away, the Chimera lurched forward with the force of a dozen or so squigs chasing after an unlucky lone gretchin. The bikerz revved their own engines in response and darted forward to avoid the blunt wrath of an angry trukk boy. But before the buggy behind them had an opportunity to catch up, the rear hatch of the chimera descended until it reached the ferrocrete with sparks and fire. For a split second Vagdug and his boyz were surprised by the equally shocked Speed Freaks. Then Vagdug raised his shoota.
"KRUMP 'EM!"
The back of the ork trukk lit up with tracers as an entire mob of orks let loose at nearly point blank range, so close that even an ork boy could hit, and hit they did. The buggy began to loose control as the engine and driver were shot to bits by the force of fire unloaded in their direction. It crashed into one of the many barriers lining the wall and road it up into the air in a feat of chaotic acrobatics that the orks present paused to give the disaster its due as an audience before the buddy crashed back onto the ground upside-down. Makguk, whom had been in the middle of being choked to death, to this as an opportunity to smash the back of his thick skull into the Speed Freaks nose, launching the chain wielding hooligan off of him.
Leg it vs After Them!: 28 + 10 (Speed Freaks) + 5 (Warbikes) = 43 vs 31 + 5 (Former Trukk Experience) + 15 ('Eavy Shoota/Grot Accuracy) = 51 (Failure)
With the destruction of the buggy and, most likely, the Wallkrasha Nob, the two bikes ahead of the Trukk stopped teasing Blitztoof and began to ride off. The Bolter above finally began spitting out lead but it was too late, for they were at a distance that even the semi-improved accuracy of the grots couldn't make a difference. Blitztoof was tempted to keep after them, but Vagdug thankfully popped his head over Blitztoof's shoulder. The Nob was grinning like a mad fool, blood pumping from the excessively awesome use of dakka earlier.
"We'z gottem going Blitztoof! Now let's run 'em down, fer da Gorky Boyz!" One of the lads out back had the bright idea to speak his mind.
"Boss, didn't ya say we wuz gonna convince them to join up wiff us?"
Vagdug whipped around to knock out the front fangs of the outspoken boy, and the gretchin within the cabin scrambled to pick up the pieces as Vagdug loomed over the assembled mob. "We do what I say! An' I say WAAAAGH!!!"
The battle cry was taken up by all the ladz in in cabin, Blitztoof especially as he jammed the levers forward forcing the chimera into overdrive. The trukk left the body of a recently strangled speed freak in the dust as Makguk caught his breath on the top of the chassis. "Well, dat coulda gone bettah…"
From there, Blitztoof directed the Chimera…
[ ] In the general direction the bikerz rode off in, with hopes that Blitztoof can catch up.
[ ] There's a enormous racket taking place nearby, the noises literally shaking dust off the buildings. It almost sounds like… a concert?
[ ] Rivet-Jaw territory is nearby, and the Wallkrasha's and the Rivet-Jaw's are pretty close. Either you get the bikerz and a good scrap, or you get a good scrap. Win-Win!
Vote Open!
Me, after a few weeks of intense Life™: I don't know, I feel like I'm forgetting something.
My procrastination/stress/depression: If you forgot it, then it wasn't important.
Me: Yeah, you're probably right.
This Quest:
Okay, so apologies for the delay. Big mistake on my part. I cannot guarantee consistent daily posting but I hopefully will be able to post on a weekly or biweekly period. Maybe daily for important bits and if I have the motivation. Also, fun fact, the Dice hate you!
Life is like a lemon. Bitter, sour, inedible, and only enjoyable once you've wrung it out thouroughly to get the juices into a cup. Even then, you need to add a generous amount of sweet sugar to make it enjoyable, and you'll still have disgusting pulp in there. Anyways, hopefully this Quest can come back from the dead.
[X] Rivet-Jaw territory is nearby, and the Wallkrasha's and the Rivet-Jaw's are pretty close. Either you get the bikerz and a good scrap, or you get a good scrap. Win-Win!
Though don't the rolls on that last one technically make it a success for us? Assuming we were After Them and the speed boyz were Leg It, they lost that roll-off.
Actually, we'd win even if you swapped the bonuses. Though I'm obviously fine with this outcome, it's all the same to an ork.
