The Long Night Part One: Embers in the Dusk: A Planetary Governor Quest (43k) Complete Sequel Up
- Thread starter Durin
- Start date
@Durin Didn't last turn results say that there were not any candidates available for training for some period of time and that we wouldn't be able to replace losses for awhile?
@Durin The description above does not match the reward or the action.
Well there are only 4 Ork Strongholds left. South of Yaphx (the one with the overly smart warlord), The Bayou, west of Okefenokee, and south of Casarrondo. Assaulting them all with a double down ought to give us 70% chance of success after bonuses? Might make sense to take two years to do this two a year, and spend a second action in the first year to Siege the other two.
Huh... not so sure about that Azure Isle one...
Welp, looks like the Change of Ways has a plot running on Avernus. That's going to fit very well with the Omake I'm working on.
Plus, I don't know that we could destroy them. Probably would have to study them first before we could destroy them.
Rotbart can take an Arbitus action using Personal Attention. Either spending a year keeping the Elite Operatives going, or search for the plot himself. (which with the Black Crystals might be useful).
I wouldn't be so sure. Jane's trait allows her to wound or even kill a daemon. Nothing there says she did kill the Changeling, and I would be surprised if he died that easily.

Or it just means Jane can't one-hit kill anything like titans or greater demons because they're so much larger.

With 54 combat Jane is challenging Horatius for the role of strongest combatant in the trust. She's a fully reasonable option for killing alpha psykers at this point.
You see, I'm thinking that it just means titan sized opponents like a ork beast/warlord, or a chaos knight titan.

My bet is Colossus is a size tier.
That said, I 100% agree with the plan to put every bit of effort we can into hunting down the missing psykers. Including maybe using a personal action on it to double down on the Arbites side, as well as having Ridcully flat-out double down with his own action(s) until full success.
With a potential incursion or major chaos threat incoming, I'd also like to get the planet-side Wards up ASAP, and see if we can manage any edge-honing actions too. With luck we might be able to head this shit off, but depending on luck is a bad idea, and having more reliable defenses and solid anti-air is a Good Thing.

But Jane has more experience, is better at personal combat and has better intrigue so she is the better pick even if we will lose progress on the swordsmanship school better that than another daemon invasion this time Tzeentch flavoured so we cannot rely on our diviners.
Which is why I pointed out he could take over the Elite Operatives action for a year or more, allowing Jane to search for the plot.

Ah I see best to ask durin if this is possible
@Durin is it possible for Rotbart to take over the super soldier program so that Jane can go hunt for the missing psykers?
Yeah, that phrase probably means that she can't auto-crit a Titan.

Alternatively, we can use his action in support to double down on it. If a daemonic incursion is imminent, being three or four years into setting up the swordsmanship school won't help at all. Let's learn from our various cult fuckups and go all-in on immediate action to mitigate the current major threat rather than trying to preserve every bit of long-term growth we can.

I immediately skipped to see if this meant Paragon.
Hell yeah.
No need to shout, we'll pick something else.
Rotbart looked around at his gathered advisors. "Alright, Klovis Ultan has heard rumors that Vanaheim will be complaining that the number of inquisitors among the highest echelons of Avernus leadership means that we're basically a proxy vote for the Inquisition. We can't know how to respond until we know the truth of this, so... Who here is secretly an inquisitor?"
There was a shuffling as people raised their hands.
"Even you Edvin?"

Paragon is explicitly labeled as 'Demi-God' territory. Back in the days of the old Imperium Primarchs were often seen to be this. Space Marines were acquitted a lesser, almost angelic status among the general populous, with some territories (mostly feudal worlds) even going so far as to refer to them as 'the Emperor's Angels'. That said, I'm not saying that Rotbart is as good a strategist as Gulliman, or that Jane is as good a swordswoman as Fulgrim, merely that they've reached that ever-distant 'base' level of skill that Primarchs get just by being Primarchs.

actually Colossus is the tier above superheavy, things like Emperor Titans fall into it

@Durin I assume that is supposed to be "Now" not "NO"
More importantly, the reward is 3 Defenses Stations, yet Admiral Parnell says he wants a total of 36 and wants to build six at a time.
Was the reward supposed to be 6? Or 36? Three doesn't seem right considering the description.

yes, on average once every hundred rounds of combat,
Jane Oakheart: If all else fails, she will somehow figure out how to kill anything less than an Ordinatus Majoris eventually.
Truthfully, an invasion by the Changer of Ways isn't that likely. He's more likely to take a more subtle approach to Avernus. (If he really wanted an invasion, you'd think he would figure out how to get Nurgle to do it).Well shit.
Looks like we may soon have a chance to upgrade that population trait to resist chaos, and a new trait for all our characters!(Survivor of the Blue Skies.....)
On a more positive note, I love that there is an attack craft option in the Void section and that we can add Champions to command squads . It makes our forces grow that much closer to being discount Space Marines.
On the Administratum side of things, lets chill a bit on the Azure islands Rail link, digging too deep is definitely an issue on Avernus. No need to potentially wake up a Deep One or some other, unknown gribbly.
Last but far from least, congrats Jane on being the first human character that we know of to have broken the 50 combat limit. And what a manner to do it in. Wow.
He likes subtle plots, sure, but sometimes you have to break a thing to change it.

The fact that it's even possible makes Jane bullshit.
Hm, does that mean that if we can get her another ~+100 to combat, she'll be a reliable Titan-killer? Divination expert can provide +20, TK choirs can restrict Titan's movements as could haywire weapons...
