By chance, @Leon12431, where is our roll for digging up our predecessors with the DC 69?

Eh, that means we get a DC of 31, after 12+17=29, which was our roll.

Now, I'm rolling for both space marines and space nuns.

Edit: first roll was for space marines. The second was for the Sororitas.

DC 50: 98+16=114

Alright that makes the total roll 112. And the other just reduced the DC from 100 to 59 after the other extraction roll.

Last two rolls, first is advisor.

DC 40: 71+18=88
DC 50: 2+11=13

Edit: Well their went my luck :(

The premise of this entire quest is hilarious. I swear, if we hit past 200k words and do well, we're going to end up in an awkward meeting with Guilliman with him commemorating our player character, and him awkwardly realizing he's praising a xenos as being a better administrator than most humans.
 
Probably a roll for his reaction to how the extraction process was being done.

Edit: Ninja'd.

Edit 2: Wait, @Leon12431, that series of rolls from beforehand, with our predecessors, can get the results from those findings? And what happened to the other Governors besides the ones shown? There clearly seems to be some missing from the others?

Sigh, and she probably kept using them till they dropped dead, didn't she?

She allocated only enough food/oxygen for the first wave to reach a point wherein they would start to die making way for the second wave which would do the same until the final wave completed the project over the bodies of the dead. Unfortunately she screwed a calculation and send the wrong amount in the first wave which threw everything out of wack and ended up only being half done by the final wave.

Ah those are what you found, the others either left nothing behind or had been plundered by other planetary governors over time.

There is a reason why you only do it for extreme circumstances. Because it's, FOR EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES!!!

SWEET!! That makes a lot of stuff way easier for us, and helps us out a ton. Shame about the plundering though. Oh Well, at least it was for the betterment of us :V
