They could damage a smaller city if left to regroup or attract the attention of a high level chaos psyker, not a major problem but I think it's one that's best to sweep up now and get dealt with.
No it certainly is.

I said we could probably leave them alone and forget about them.

We really shouldn't chaos needs to be hunted down at every turn :)
 
Who is Marcelee?

Anyways, I think we should inform Dragon nest so that they can attack Valinor while it is still weak.
 
Those exchange ratios. The first sentences makes it absolutly clear and the results are absurtly agreeing with it.
After weeks of falling back from positions that you could have easily held and letting the enemy win it is finally time to counter attack, and to unleash the full fury of the Avernite army. You have been looking forward to this.
In spirit of reducing our losses going foreward I propose this plan:
[X] Thin their numbers
-[X] Dis: Harass them- You will be able to cause major damage at a incredible exchange rate if you have your faster units hunt the fleeing enemy down, though if they regroup your harassers could suffer.
-[X] The Lonely Citadel: Harass them- You will be able to cause major damage at a incredible exchange rate if you have your faster units hunt the fleeing enemy down, though if they regroup your harassers could suffer.
-[X] Bombard it- If you have available ships bombard the shattered remains of the siege camp you will be able to inflict major damage over time, and prevent them shoring up their defences.
-[X] Void: Pursuit- Chase them to the edge of the system, losing some more of your lighter ships in exchange for destroying many of the enemy ships so that you can be sure that you will not encounter them in the future.

I believe that is the plan.

Though it may get complicated seeing how the Dragon's nest can't really...own Valinor so its almost certainly going to fall to us (Its on the other side of us for them and far to far away for them to effectively manage)

As for Marcey Embers in the Dusk: A Planetary Governor Quest (43k) | Page 3483

Not how I imagined it going and yes I apologise.
 
[X] Plan: Cleaning up
-[X] Dis: Harass them- You will be able to cause major damage at a incredible exchange rate if you have your faster units hunt the fleeing enemy down, though if they regroup your harassers could suffer.
-[X] The Lonely Citadel: Harass them- You will be able to cause major damage at a incredible exchange rate if you have your faster units hunt the fleeing enemy down, though if they regroup your harassers could suffer.
-[X] Raze it- The Abomination armies are disorganised and battered, if you pressed the attack you will be able to stop them reorganising and kill them before they cause any more problems.
-[X] Void: Pursuit- Chase them to the edge of the system, losing some more of your lighter ships in exchange for destroying many of the enemy ships so that you can be sure that you will not encounter them in the future.

I just want to finish up here.
 
Here's a link to the Must-Read Omake about her, but I'll summarise here.

Marcelee is a perfectly stable Alpha level human-Avernite xeno hybrid (majority human) psyker created by humans in M24. She was about 8 years old when the Cybernetic Revolt occurred. After the death of her father at the hands of the Men of Iron, she was raised by Sirens due to a pact made between the humans of the age and the Sirens. Over the thousands of years of her life, she has travelled all over Avernus, learning everything she could wherever she went, giving her an immensely varied amount of psychic abilities. She has fought through daemonic incursions of all four Chaos Gods. She beat Kairos Fateweaver in a game of wits and permanently killed an Exalted Greater Daemon of Slaanesh during the last daemonic incursion. She has Transcendent Control and multiple Paragons under her belt.

EDIT: Oh and Durin rolled to see how canon/powerful she'd be and rolled a nat 100.

But if we hunt them down we can exchange their souls for runes...
I believe this has come up a few times and I'm pretty sure no.

1. Can we hunt down Abominites to hand them over to the Sirens?

Ahhhhhhhhh (holds head in hands in shame)
 
Wow, even in the grind through Dis, we achieved a better than 80:1 kill:loss ratio assaulting our own defenses. While we deployed Battle Psykers, we didn't even break out the Helguard. The Black Irons carried the final push into the Battle Barge. Also, Berserk Gas was super useful here, since it killed/distracted a lot of the abom artillery on day 2. I still find it amusing that we tore through their "elite" troops with such a lopsided kill ratio on offense. Durin noted that the expected exchange rate was reversed, too.

Uh, I was always under the Impression that Humans didn't get their Psyker awakening until the time of trouble.
Also, wouldn't the ability to produce Stable Alpha level psyker be strange? That would basically makes the Dark age technology Humans better than the Eldar.

I'm pretty sure Durin has said it's fair game on chaos invaders when it come's to the Siren trade.

I'd like to point out that to the Sirens human souls are valuable because they are a rare delicacy. If we flood the market with captured Abominites i expect the value of each individual soul to drop steeply, because i doubt they have a way to safely preserve those guys long term. Supply and Demand applies even to the soul trade.

We have an agreed upon price for each rune that's already set, changing the price now would basically be breaking the deal, a deal they know we took a significant diplomatic blow in order to sign.

Edit: damn Sirans, I'm wrong and they will change the price

Ahhhhhhhhh (holds head in hands in shame)
1. yes, you might not get full price for them though (a glut in the market)

the time of trouble start in M25, so for there to be a few a bit ahead is normal
and they produced 1 Stable Alpha by mixing in Old One Biotech, you don't want to know how many failures and unstable Alphas they produced
 
Not how I imagined it going and yes I apologise.

Humans made a stable Alpha Plus level psyker before the wheel was invented. All humans of every age (except heretics) are better than eldar and all other xenos.
 
Pursuing the fleet is certainly more urgent than the ground forces. Which have no where to go and will be taking constant casualties.

If possible, we must capture surviving ground forces as siren food.

the deal does not compel them to buy every soul you are willing to offer, and you are running into the fact that all of the cards are in their hands on this deal, you are basically trying to but military tech with exotic food.

That's still a big change to the setting, adding someone that permanently killed an Exalted Greater Daemon, not really confortable with this, especially since it was all the doing of a single player apparently (no Offense Dommed Wombat). But it's done now I guess.

I guess I could try to make an Omake where the Quartok are planning to betray us, finally get rid of them.

I'm pretty sure DAOT Humans where all heretic è.é
But you are right, forgive my Heretical Comment :/

He rolled for her canonicity. It was a nat 100.

...Which would undo all of the progress we've been making on reversing the trends of the Old Imperium for who knows how long and that's without considering how useful/helpful they are. That and it's sounds like you want to do it out of spite.

No, I've always said I hated the Quartok and wanted them gone. I never said otherwise even once.

Actually this isn't quite correct.

The earliest psyker I can find is Malcador who gives his birth date as 300.M24. So around the same time as Marcey.

It makes me realise I created something which could probably be considered a Mary Sue...like easily.

They made a stable Apex, but that was the Emperor...hardily a great success :p

Also might wanna stick a sarcasm thing on there :)

None taken it went in directions I didn't expect...and it really wasn't intended to come off as Mary Sueee as it is.

I mean I can justify a lot if not all of it, but still.

Que?

Oh right...they break setting too you right?

IIRC that's why you don't like the Krork and the Empire of Ashes...too noble bright.

Frederick Rotbart is the governor of the most deadly deathworld in the galaxy, even more deadly than Catachan. He was an administratum adept but when he arrived it turned out he was actually a genius of war on the same level as Macharius. His daughter is also a genius of war on the same level as Macharius. He's so popular among his people that even Chaos cultists love him. He has special black-coloured wargear that's completely indestructible, super powerful, and repels Chaos. His wife was the most beautiful woman in the entire sector and despite being super promiscuous never cheated on Frederick after they married because he paid attention to her. He gives theological advice to the Fabricator-General and one of his close friends is a Living Saint.
