Well I have chosen that because blowing one site from orbit will alert all the other areas we are coming.
Given the rest will be doing stealth attacks I figure that the increase in alertness will be unwise.
I'd expect that we'd know to time it perfectly. They shouldn't have warning, especially if the stealth attacks happen first. I... generally assume our primarch would know better than to wait a day between or something.

Alright, finally done with classes so I can answer stuff. For the infrastructure/tech upgrades, I'm going to take care of that as the GM, since it is less work for me, and fits thematically with the Mechanicus being a separate group from you. I'll look at my notes to see where I missed planets, thanks for letting me know that btw. For the reason you have stone age and those infrastructure levels, it was because before you took control of the Legion, Oriacarius obtained worlds for the Legion rather slowly. He managed to get 400 worlds, but he wasn't following the same guidelines as you, which led to these planets.
Also, interesting to see people are voting to disrupt the ritual, I honestly was not expecting that. I'll call the vote in about 20 minutes.
Alright, so we won't control the upgrades, that's... going to make future planning difficult unless its consistent. We'll see how it works out. Though... gotta admit. Definitely want industry improvements first. 100 more planets to industry 8 would be huge.
Specifically, the worst case for improvements we could get in industrial tech would take us to 842 production points, from the 773 that we currently have on the spread sheet. Meanwhile the best case for technological improvements would give us 823 production points. Still definitely better than what we have now, but just not worth nearly as much. The difference industry makes is just so much greater than what tech level makes. Doubly so when industry level gets brought all the way up to 8, while tech only goes up by one tier.

We have done something the do did not expect we are either going to die horribly or end up tap dancing on the corpse of a greater daemon.

I wish you the best of luck, now, I'll call the vote here. Looks like streamlining informant networks and disrupting the ritual wins. Can I get 3 people to roll me 2d100s each? You can roll on SV or in the rolz room linked in a threadmark.

You know I think this quest can qualify for the tsundere tag with all this

Here are the rolls, close but something happens. Time for me to determine what.
Preparation: 97 + 20 (Astartes) + 20 (Primarch Presence) + 20 (Thousand Sons) = 157
Stage 1 Disruption: 6 + 20 (Astartes) + 20 (Primarch Presence) + 20 (Thousand Sons) = 66
Cultists Resist: 61 + 20 (Diviner) + 40 (Greater Daemon) – 40 (???) = 81
Stage 2 Disruption: 41 + 20 (Astartes) + 20 (Primarch Presence) + 20 (Thousand Sons) = 101
Cultists Resist: 35 + 20 (Diviner) + 40 (Greater Daemon) – 40 (???) = 55
Ritual Climax: 30 + 20 (Astartes) + 20 (Primarch Presence) + 20 (Thousand Sons) = 101
Cultist Contest: 74 + 20 (Diviner) + 40 (Greater Daemon) – 40 (???) = 94
Taming the Ritual: 69 + 20 (Astartes) + 20 (Primarch Presence) + 20 (Thousand Sons) – 20 (Close Disruption) - 20 (???) = 89 DC was 90
Ritual Feedback: 13 + 20 (Close failure) = 33 (Low is bad)
Actually, I'll use your rolls SleepMode to see what the effect was.

It was a randomized effect, based on this list I have. Thankfully, you rolled a relatively minor effect. Can I get a d100 to see if the Thousand Sons survive? <25 means one of them dies, <5 means multiple, 1 is daemonhost.
Edit: 1 followed by contested rolls is daemonhost.

Nice job, daemon tried to take advantage but was replused. All in all it worked out pretty well for you.
Actually, this is completely right. They should have a +2 to the 85, not that it matters though.
Well, I was more thinking in terms of opposing the daemon for disrupting and taming the ritual, as they've been contesting a Greater Daemon as part of it. A +2 would have made a difference there, as it'd have gotten them over the DC. No idea if it would have been applicable though.
@Daemon Hunter if the thousand son resisted a demon does that mean we have a proto grey knight.
what 85? there wasn't an 85 in the entire roll list? Nevermind, it was the later 85. I'm an idiot.

For that part no, because it was trying to tame a massive quantity of warp energy. Although I should have added that to the other rolls,
You guys didn't take any casualties, the cultists resisting was to see if they could keep control of the ritual. They didn't.
No quite Nurgle because the Grey Knights hold a daemon in them for a period of hours, this was a daemon taking advantage of the weakness of the Thousand Sons to try to possess them, but was kicked out in moments. So I suppose technically yes, but nothing of consequence for now. Also, jjffjfjf, the 85 came when I found what the effect was, and it amounted to attempted weak possession. So SleepMode rolled that and got an 85, it should be somewhere on the SV thread.

Hmm
Does anyone have any guesses on the unknown modifiers
For the -40 I think we caught them at the best time really
