TALENTS AND TRAITS

Name	Description
Officer ON THE DECK!	Em was born on a battleship - he knows how to give orders while standing on their decks. +5 to all command tests while aboard any spacecraft.
Void Accustomed	Microgravity is not treated as a difficult terrain for Em. He's been here before.
Ship Bound Fighter	While on a planetary surface - where he is not accustomed to combat - he will get a -2 to Initiative checks and DOUBLE the BS penalty for ranged firing. He's made for close in battle.
Rival (Nobility)	Em's an upstart - a bastard orphan and, far worse, a member of the...lower classes... ugh. No matter who his wife is, he has -10 to all Fell checks with other nobility.
This Ship is my Home	He gains +5 to all Willpower and Fellowship checks while aboard his home ship.
Air of Authority	While giving orders, he multiples his Fellowship bonus by ten - meaning he can influence FBx10 non-hostile NPCs with a command check.
Weapon Training (Universal)	He can use pistols and swords of any make or kind. Chain, force, power, primitive, plasma, bolt, flamer, what have you. If it is a weapon and it is roughly pistol shaped, he can use it...so long as it isn't archeotech or xenotech.
Exceptional Leader	As a Free Action, once per round, he may grant any ally who he can see and who can hear him a +10% to any one test. He made Captain at 22 for a reason.
Ambidextrious	Thanks to long practice, he can use both hands equally well.
Renowned Warrant	Now that people know that House Scourge has returned, tongues are wagging. If Em presents himself as the Rogue Trader Scourge, he will get +10 to Fellowship checks with those who are impressed by such things.
Jaded	Cannot gain insanity points from anything save for The Warp and its horrors.
Iron Discipline	+10 to Boarding Actions - and any NPCs or PCs who are within line of sight and under Em's command can re-roll failed pinning and fear checks.
2WW	He can use a melee weapon in both hands, allowing more attacks per round, at a penalty.
Quick Draw	He can draw a weapon instantly, as a free action!
Peer: Imperial Navy	He gains +10 to fellowship checks with interactions with the Imperial Navy, due to his return of the Light of Terra to their ranks.
Dark Soul	Due to careful exposure to the Warp from his wives, Em now takes 1/2 the penalties for the malignancy tests.
Sound Constitution (x4)	He has +4 to his Wounds.
Counter Attack	After successfully parrying, he may make a counter attack at a -20
Swift Attack	He may use the Swift Attack full round action, taking two melee attacks for the price of one!
Blademaster	Once per round, he may re-roll missed melee combat attacks.
Combat Master	He has mastered the blade - enemies cannot gain outnumbering bonuses for ganging up on him.
Lightning Attack	He is terrifying with a blade: as a full action, he may attack THREE times rather than twice as with Swift Attack.
Master & Commander	There can be only one captain: By spending a half action to direct allies, none will suffer from ganging up. He gains an additional +10 to defend against boarding actions.
Sure Strike	He can invert his dice to choose where he hits (I.E, if he rolls a 05, he will hit the head rather than the torso.)
Disarm	May take a full round action to make an opposed WS check against an enemy. On a success, the enemy drops the weapon. On 3 DOS, he takes it.
Light Sleeper	He is treated as being awake even while asleep.
Lightning Reflexes	He doubles his AG bonus for initiative.
Legendary	Any Influence test using PF gains 2 bonus degrees of success. Any successful interaction check gains 2 bonus DOS. In combat, Emil Vendigroth counts as having Fear (1) forcing lesser enemies to make a Will at +0 check or suffer combat shock.

TALENTS AND TRAITS

Name	Description
Piractical Flourish	After making a move action, as a free action, Ryia can take a standard ranged or melee attack.
Street Knowledge	Due to a lack of a formalized education she gets a -5 to all Scholastic Lore check.
Web of Contacts	Iluryia had met twelve xenos before she was nineteen and could speak half of their languages. With an intelligence check, she can make herself understood with an intelligence check so long as it is not a secret check.
Sixth Sense	Being born in the Expanse gives her an unusual connection to the Warp - granting her the Psyniscence skill as a trained skill.
Rival (Inquisition)	...gestures to the entirety of her life
Wyrdling	Born as a witch, Iluryia has the wyrdling mutation - giving her a Psi Rating of 2 and 2 free psychic talents.
Jealous Freedom	Having been captured and forced into the life once, she will never suffer this loss again. She must make a WP test to avoid reacting as violently as humanly possible.
Hatred (Pirates)	You'd think, being one, she wouldn't hate pirates. And yet, here we are. +10 WS to hit pirates.
Weapon Training	Pistols (Universal), Melee (universal)
Heightened Senses (Sight)	Her acute senses give her +10 to her Perception checks involving sight.
Psy Rating (8)	She is an unbounded psyker, granting her the ability to use Psy Powers. Her Psy Rating adds +5 to her Willpower Bonus for any and all psychic checks. If she uses her powers fettered, there are no risks but her Psy Rating is counted at 1/2. If she uses her powers unfettered then she risks psychic phenomenon if she rolls doubled. She may also push her powers, adding +1 to her Psy Rating per level of pushing - but forcing a roll on the Psychic Phenomenon table, at a +10 bonus per push. Her maximum push is 4.
Warp Affinity	She has an extremely strong connection to the warp - she may discard a Psychic Phenomenon roll that displeases her, take 1d5 corruption points, then re-roll WITHOUT modifiers (even if she pushed.)
Sound Constitution (x4)	This grants her +1 wound per purchase.
Resistance (psychic powers)	When a psychic power is used upon her, Ryia gets a +10 to her resistance roll (if any are permitted.) She's a tough cookie.
Void Tactician	Due to her long expertise and command of the long guns, Iluryia gains +10 to BS check to fire all ship weapons - including torpedoes. Nice!
Paranoia	Iluryia gains +2 to her initiative and she can make awareness checks without being aware of why - if she succeeds, she doesn't get ambushed.
Strong Minded	She may re-roll any failed WP tests to resist Psychic Techniques that are attempting to read her mind.
Dark Soul	Whenever she tests for a Malignancy Test (may the Emperor keep this fate from her), she takes 1/2 the normal penalty.
Armor of Contempt	Reduce incoming Corruption points by 1, to a minimum of 0. With a willpower test, Iluryia can ignore hte effects of accumulated Corruption Points for one round.
Counter Attack	After parrying, may make a free action to counter-attack, at a -20 to hit.
Die Hard	When suffering from blood loss, roll twice to survive.
Rapid Reactions	When surprised, she may make an agility check to act normally anyway.
Warp Sense	She can take Psyniscience tests as a half action.
Peer: Imperial Guard	She's...the Liberator of Damarias? She killed a Warboss in single combat in her cocktail dress according to the legends. Of course the Imperial Guard likes her. +10 to interacting with all Guardsmen.
Favored by the Warp	Have I mentioned Ryia is getting real good at this? She re-rolls all Psy Phenomenon tests and takes the better.
Legendary	Any Influence test using PF gains 2 bonus degrees of success. Any successful interaction check gains 2 bonus DOS. In combat, Iluryia Rackamore Vendigroth Scourge counts as having Fear (1) forcing lesser enemies to make a Will at +0 check or suffer combat shock.

"I'm innnn loove! I'm in love! I'm gonna find the Captain and I'm gonna jump his booones!"

"Lance Corporal."

"I'm gonna fuck his massive dick! I'm gonna ride him like he's a-"

"Lance Corporal!"

"I'm, yeah, what? What, Lidda?"

Coxsfir Xotiamyl tore her eyes from her beloved, her new adoring partner, her most precious husband, her brand new Locke Mk. XI pattern boltgun. She had already cut the stock off, which had horrified her squadmates, and hung a lucky charm off the barrel, which was just good sense, and drawn a few smiling faces and scribbled her own personal motto of Promptus Dd Cenam Xenon. It was High Gothic and, according to the tattooist who had put it on the small of her back, it translated to 'die, xeno!' which seemed about right for the Imperial Guard.

Sergeant Lidda was glaring down at her.

"Stop signing," she said. "About fucking the Captain!"

"But...he's hot, though?" Xoti asked.

"He's the Captain!" Lidda said, throwing up her hands.

DragonCobolt said:
"And he got the entire regiment boltguns!" Xoti said, gesturing to the squad and, further, the rest of the regiment.

DragonCobolt said:
"I'd fuck Horus for a boltgun."

"Oh my Emperor," Lidda whispered, putting her palms over her face.

Oh my god.

DragonCobolt said:
"But if we convert four transports - the Liberty, Salvation, Mercy, and Respite..." Tine had named them and refused any argument. The fact that her husband and sister hadn't even bothered to argue the point had left her feeling faintly defeated, she'd found a lot of historical support for her naming conventions.

I love 'Tine very much and want us to marry her

I mean, we already did marry her

But, well, you know, still.

DragonCobolt said:
"Captain, m'lady, Ryia," Dr. Ventris said. "This is my guest and associate, Doctor Jonathan Balthazar."

Dr. Balthazar inclined his head.

Oh my god!

It's Dr ~~Stephen Maturin~~ Balthazar from "TO BURN, VENT, OR TAKE AS A PRIZE"!!

This is gonna be great!

Hmmm... as for the vote... Statement-wise, I actually feel like our private chambers might be showing more trust, in some ways, whilst our conference room is about showing strength? It depends on the statement we want to make.

I will vote for:

[X] Private Chambers (You all vote on how to advance you fucking maniacs)

But honestly I do not have a strong feeling as to which.

ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS

NAME	PWR	SPC.	DESCRIPTION
Saturnine Class 5 Modified STC-09 Compatible Plasma Drive (BQ)	+96	13	It is the size of the Revenge's drive but provides 60% more power. The Tech Priests have no idea how. It's also faster than it should be - more efficient, easier to rig.
Miloslav H-616 Warp Engine (BQ)	9	11	An eerily fast warp drive. Ominous.
Replacement Geller Field	1	0	This is the best replacement that could be found, considering the previous systems were...not up to Imperial standards of morality, let alone functionality.
Triple Layered Castellan Shield Array (BQ)	8	2	Titanic banks of protective shielding that, under the guiding hand of tech-priests, can produce shields harder and sturdier and faster regenerating than anything seen for ten thousand years.
Bridge of Antiquity (BQ)	1	1	An ancient bridge, filled with hololithic suspensor tanks, projection-screens, and cogitators that seem almost cleverer than the officers that use them.
Ancient Life Sustainer (BQ)	1	1	Unbelievably efficient, sweet smelling air, and nearly no crew are needed to work the pumps at all! It's outright unnatural.
Voidsman Quarters (BQ)	1	3	The vast decks required for housing the thousands upon thousands of souls who serve aboard this reclaimed glory.
Auto-Stabilized Logis Targeter (BQ)	4	0	An ancient targeting apparatus, giving crystal clear signals at a fraction of the power budget.

SUPPLEMENTAL COMPONENTS

NAME	PWR	SPC	DESCRIPTION
Weapon Components (BQ)	72	32	To call these weapons is like calling the Emperor himself an 'administrator' or 'bureaucrat.' Technically true, but utterly insulting. It was fortunate indeed that the Revenge took this ship by coming upon her aft and boarding her before she could bring the killing force of these weapons to bear. Two whole decks on the port and starboard sides dedicated purely to the focusing and launching of self-coherent plasma bolts - requiring nothing in terms of macoshells but everything in the place of raw power. And then, her dorsal ridge? Eight full heavy turrets, each loaded with an ancient and terrible Argent Pattern Lance Weapon. This is a ship to kill planets.
Auxiliary Plasma Generatoria (BQ)	+44	20	These generatoria exist primarily to power the secondary systems - and do so dutifully. There are four decks of them. It is curious, though...why do so many of their power conduits lead downward?
Cogitator Interlink	1	1	The cogitators aboard this ship are...unsettlingly good.
Gryo-Stabilized Matrix	1	1	This gyroscopic system renders many highly difficult maneuvers as easy as piloting a ship through empty space.
Augmented Retro-Thrusters (BQ)	4	0	She's got the finest rigging that anyone in this side of the Eye of Terror has ever seen. Combined with the gyro-stabilization, she is nearly as maneuverable as a ship a quarter her size.
Munitorium (BQ)	2	3	A vast chamber full of munitions and weapons and, most importantly, focusing lenses for the plasma cannons. This volatile component makes the ship all the more potent in battle.
Temple-Shrine to the God Emperor	1	1	A requirement by the Governor-Militant and the High Matriarch of the local Ecclesiarchy before they would let this ship set sail. Helmed by Father Aldous Bishop, this temple provides succor to the crew.
Energetic Conversion Matrix	26	1	The true answer to the ship's terrifying speed. Multiple decks of generatoria, all working to do one thing and one thing alone: Power this archeotech device. The damn pirates didn't even know it was there!

Strelov 2 Warp Engine	10	10	An arcane sphere of rapidly rotating techno-sorcery, contained within the bowls of a heavily warded section of the ship. Required for Warp travel.
Geller Field	1	0	A collection of emission arrays producing a reality stability field, for the protection of soul and, less importantly, body while traveling the Warp.
Void Shield Array	5	1	A dizzyingly potent set of field emitters that jacket the ship in a (usually) invisible field of protective energy. Good against macros and lances!
Exploration Bridge	4	1	The normal layout of the Imperial Navy, interrupted: Astrographic projections and plotting tables dominate this bridge, with a focus on surveying.
Vitae Pattern Life Sustainers	5	3	The bilge decks are homes to these gurgling, burbling, bubbling machines, producing a fairly breathable atmosphere and recycling water and waste.

Murder Servitors	1	1	A...gift...from the wife.
Teleportarium	1	1	The pride and joy of the entire ship, even if no one is insane enough to actually enjoy using it.

NAME	PWR	SPC.	DESCRIPTION
Jovian Class 4 Drive	75 Generated	14	An immense, furious power plant that generates the energies required to sail the void. Known aboard ship as Big Red due to the paint job on the hull.
Miloslav H-616.B Warp Engine	10	12	A much benighted and feared warp engine, known for her unlucky ways. Woe! Woe! Why is our ship cursed with this befouled thing!?
Warpsbane Hull	1	0	A mighty shield against fell daemons, focused entirely upon the true jawbone of none other than Saint Helgastram herself!
Clemency Pattern Life Sustainers	5	5	A standard life sustainer, augmented by countless thousands of bolt holes, vac-suits, and breather units. Oh! And excess bulkheads. While sneered at for being cowardly and womanly by the majority of the navy, crews that are cosseted by this needless, entirely unrequired concern for their life and limb tend to be happier than crews without.
Bilge Rat Quarters	2	3	The majority of the cabins, rather than being at the men's posts (which is the tradition) have been shifted to near the foremast. While this is "safer" and "less likely to kill them in the case of a breach", the crew despise the cramped conditions, poor light quality, and proximity of other, rival work shifts.
Flight Command Bridge	2	2	Eschewing throne and fore/aft lectern and servitor placement, this bridge is a dizzying, encircling hole of flight control shrines and work stations for the extra hundred or so officers it takes to coordinate wing upon wing of strike craft. Affectionally referred to as the See-Eye-See (as it is somewhat akin to a Arbiter's Panoptic jail), it serves as a coordination point for entire fleets during wartime.
BG-15 Assault Scanners	6	0	A set of phased forward mounted antenna sniffer and scrying aparatus, designed primarily for the identification of ground based targets, made to assist the coordination of invasions. When hooked in to a nova cannon, it becomes a terrifying example of what the Imperial Guard refer to as 'glassing'

SUPPLEMENTAL COMPONENTS

NAME	PWR	SPC	DESCRIPTION
Prow Mounted Titanforge Lance Batteries (Best Quality)	13	6	A perfectly calibrated long ranged lance battery, recently put in. Due to the number of dead crew left by the destruction of the old Jovian nova cannon, these titanforge weapons are considered to be cursed and are not well liked by the crew, despite their exceptional quality.
Flight Decks	4	20	A quartet of Lathe Pattern launch bays, these decks are arranged into two levels. The first level - called the Tops - is widely known as being where the crack squads and finer fliers are posted, while the second level - called the Belly - is the somewhat less prestigious posting. This distinction is lost on most non-flight crew, but is hotly contested between wings, often leading to brawling.
Pilot Chambers	1	1	From port-corridor C9 to the aft-port junction C98 there is a space on the Colossus that would make Lord Admiral Bastille (may he rot in hell) openly weep. It is known as the Vice Decks - an odd name for a collection of sensorium simulacration spheres and briefing rooms. But the reason has little to do with the actions going on within Vice and everything to do with the crew that dwell there. The entire flight crew come here to train, hone their skills, and practice between their realspace battles. And once they are off shift, oh! The rest of the ship knows it!
Strike Craft Repair Deck	2	2	A bustling mini-forge that sprawls along the belly of the ship, these decks are actually akin to and a part of the manufactorum detailed later. But it is here that the general purpose fabrication systems, overseen by Enginseer Bellos Ghast, give way to the specific construction of strike craft, overseen by Technowight Gillian Bright. Needless to say, Bright's half of the manufactury decks are the most important.
Manufactorum	2	1	A a bustling mini-forge that sprawls along the belly of the ship, these decks are actually akin to and a part of the strike craft repair deck detailed above. But it is here that the specialized tools for repairing strike craft, overseen by Technowight Gillian Bright, give way to the general purpose fabrication tools, overseen by Enginseer Bellos Ghast. Needless to say, Ghast's half of the manufactury decks are the most important.
Observation Deck	0	1	A set of domes for the observation of stellar phenomenon. Mostly used for the relaxation of the crew.
Melodium	1	1	This is less a component than it is a simple fact that this entire ship has an incredibly popular and long running tradition towards music and musical entertainments.
Field Bracing	1-3	1	A set of interstatic shunts that allow for the emplacement of internal void shields for the support and enhancement of ship stability.

STRIKE CRAFT MECHANICS
Here's a quick tutorial!
You have 10 fighter squadrons, 10 bomber squadrons, and 10 "support craft" squadrons. Support Craft help narratively - you can deploy them in massive numbers to help with Endeavors. Each squadron you deploy adds +25 to your AP totals, making the Colossus an extremely profitable ship...but if those squads are destroyed during operations, then you get NOTHING, good SIR! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY TO YOU!

Ahem.

Actual use of squadrons in combat, though, works as follows!

You can launch 10 squads per round. Fighters can either CVP or Escort. CVP (Combat Void Patrol) means they shoot down incoming fighters, torpedoes, bombers, assault boats. Escort means they escort a bomber run and engage any fighters that attack the bombers, and also impart -10 to turret attacks per squad.

Bombers can only Bomb. They effectively act like extremely powerful macrocannons that ignore void shields and always target the weakest part of the ship. The only problem is that they can be shot down!

Characters can be assigned to lead fighters or bombers directly.

The remainder of your fleet are statted out in simplified forms to save my sanity! Your Grand Cruiser will be added to this Fleet Update later today via editing.

Hoo boy!

By my count, that's... 36 squadrons from the Respite, Mercy, Salvation, and Liberty? That more than doubles our strike capacity!

@DragonCobolt, do the pocket carriers have any armament except their planes? I feel like that's probably my bad if they don't. In my original draft of the plan, I did mention putting guns in the Prow slot, but then @fanficfan helpfully reminded me that in Rogue Trader you can't have launch bays on the sides of transports, so I amended it to remove details of where things went. Could we source some basic macros for their Prow slots?

(And presumably, the Port and Starboard can just remain as cargo bays, so they still have some transport capacity.)

Just feels like a few popguns might be useful so the squadron has a whole has a chance of fending off a lone raider or something.

They don't yet. The soulcages were unarmed when you took them, and you haven't had time to slot guns on their dorsal slots, and you may get the chance depending on how the conversation with the doctor goes.

Nice to know.

BTW, I had a question a bit back but that kind of came in as you were starting the big sheet stuff, so I think it might have been forgot? Or is it going to fall into a 'No Comment' hole?

[X] Conference room (Dragon Cobolt levels the characters up from their current point to all be at the same level of XP - meaning Ryia gains 6,800 XP and Em gains a whopping 12,200!?)

I actually think the private chambers is a better place for this meeting, but I don't want to do all the levelling...

Plus, looks like DC has already levelled Em & Ryia up and they look pretty swanky.

DragonCobolt · Oct 24, 2021

The view through the window in the conference room of the Revenge was of titanic effort at glacial slowness. The vast bulk of a brace of Titanforge lance weapons, fully exposed from their nominal place inside of a heavy braced turret, being floated gently through the empty void of space towards the opened prow of the Colossus, which was itself a mere ten kilometers away from the berth the Revenge had taken. The hundreds of workmen in their void-suits and the webs of their safety equipment and guidance ropes shimmered like fine needlework in the light of the distant, pale white star that centered the Port Wander system.

Dr. Balthezar sat at the table, with his back facing this titanic effort, and shook his head when Em offered him some amnesac. "Tea, if you have it," he said, dryly, while Ryia looked at him as if she was measuring him for a coffin.

Tine paused to whisper in her sister's ear, speaking the House Scourge cant: "Sister, please. He's not here for you."

"And you know this how?" Ryia muttered back.

Tine sighed, while Em finished giving the orders to the wait servitor. Soon, tea was burbling in its ornate chest, and pouring from the pointed tip of one of its fingers. Dr. Balthazar stirred it with a small silver spoon. "Any sugar?"

"Of course," Em said.

"What are you doing here?" Ryia snapped midway through the sugar pouring.

"Ryia," Em said, holding up his hand, but Dr. Balthazar shrugged one shoulder, not seeming to be particularly mussed about being interrupted. He sipped from his cup, sighed, then set it down and gave the thinnest of smiles.

"Officially, I've been preforming my duty as a xenographer for a minor noble house in the Imperium - spending my naval fortunes to buy my own travel here and there. I actually did manage to clap eyes upon a pack of Mukaali, fascinating beasts...but they were secondary to my unofficial duties as a disposable, self guided munition." He chuckled, quietly. "If I but had an explosive payload, I'd violate the Mechanicus sanctions on intelligent weaponry."

"How droll," Em said.

Tine, though, was smiling. "Ah, so, you are an Acolyte? Of an Inquisitor?"

"Yes, she prefers to send me when situations require a subtle touch and significantly fewer bodies than her normal retinue produce. They might be skilled, but they're far from...unnoticeable," Dr. Balthazar was playing with a small chron that he had pulled from his pocket, popping and closing the face lid of it repeatedly, as if to give his hands something to do. He sighed. "I admit, it's all rather tiresome, I'd much prefer to be examining my specimens, or dissecting some new cadaver or another, I'll have you know, I had to be pulled from the opening of one of the Mukaali - I'd discovered the rumors of the air bladders to assist in their ambulatory movement was quite mistaken, quite mistaken indeed, for in the chest, there was a kind of crystal..." He leaned forward, growing more animated by the moment.

"Ah, the Inquisition?" Tine prompted.

"Oh, right, them," Dr. Balthazar said, waving his hand - which provoked a faint chuckle from Ryia, more despite herself than anything else. "I was to visit several colonies that rumor had it were being hounded by the Eldar, er, that is to say, to use a more specific term, the Aeldari of a particularly piratical bent - though, fortunately, not of the alternative variation, the subspecies I've heard tell of, the Drukhari...but I doubt such differentiation matters much to the poor fellows I found dead on their frontier farms."

"Any survivors? Any clues as to why the Eldar are attacking these colonies?" Em asked.

"No, and yes," Dr. Balthazar said, sighing and pocketing his chron. "Some colonial cogitation systems and pict-captors managed to acquire some actionable intelligence about the Eldar - it behooves me to return it to Scintilla. Currently, there are no ships on the station that can make the trip quite so swiftly as your prize..." He gestures out the window, at the sleek curves of the Argent Scourge. She's fully repainted, and gargoyles and saint statues are being emplaced upon her hull, guardians and wards. The last of the fell symbols that had been bolted to her gorgeous hull had been sent to burn in the fires of the local primary, and the whole ship was teeming with workmen to ensure the entire ship would be ready to sail soon.

Ryia frowned. "You're telling me that...you...walked around the Expanse, hitching rides from any scoundrel ship you could find, visited alien planets far beyond the boarder of the Imperium...by yourself?" Her eyes flicked over him, skeptically. Her eyes said what her voice didn't: How the hell aren't you laying rotting in a ditch somewhere?

Dr. Balthazar smiled, thinly. "Yes," he said.

Em and Tine and Ryia exchanged a glance.

It was funny...

They had their house language. They had microbeads and subvocalization. They even had Ryia and Tine's telepathic arts. But they needed none of them. They knew each other, soul deep, and needed only to exchange the smallest shrug, the tiniest shake of the head, to come to a unified decision.

Obviously, you may have questions! Write in any you have.
[ ] Write In

What do you do after the questioning?
[ ] We shall set forth at once - take the Argent and leave Tabitha Von Strauss to manage the purchasing and preparations based on the previous plans.
[ ] We cannot send the Argent on this task - not with Lu'Nasad and Karrad Vall lurking on the far side of the warpstorms. We shall send the good doctor with one of our frigates. (Choose which)
[ ] Ask the doctor to delay - there are many refits that require your work, and the rest of the transports are due to arrive any day now.

buli-buli · Oct 24, 2021

hmm. I'm honestly undecided here. I feel like delaying would be a mistake, but I don't want to split up the fleet either.

Alectai · Oct 24, 2021

I mean, if the Scourge is ready to go, we can probably get away with the rest of our build list going on while we respond to this.

DragonCobolt · Oct 24, 2021

So, uh...I have built the, uh...the Argent Scourge and I may have gone a bit mad, but, it's fine!

the likelihood of this being somehow connected with the corrupted craftworld seems high.

I hate to be the one to take a shiny away from Ryia, but her sword "Scrap" got broken in Frozen Reaches and she has a cybernetic right arm. Orks are nasty pieces of work...

F0lkL0re · Oct 25, 2021

We should see if Dr. Balthezar is willing to share some copies of the pict-captors and any other information just in case we can identify the pirates or come up with any other bits of useful information.

I am imagining Ms. Diana Villiers as an Inquisitor, and all is right with the world.

So, at the risk of being obvious, just to get a better idea, if we choose this, we can still roll for the rest of our purchases, and the fleet will come and meet us when they are ready? Is there a downside to leaving Von Strauss to handle this? Or, to put it another way, what are the advantages of remaining to oversee thigs ourselves?

For example, would this have a bearing on stuff like whether we can find some prow macros for the transports?

Please enlighten us! It's relevant to the vote at hand!

EDIT: Oh my god, what a monster... It's a supercapital that can match speed with Raiders and is nearly as maneuverable between the penalty reduction of the balancers and its own considerable base Maneuverability.

We couldn't get a Warpsbane Hull tho?

Right those are details that should be in her sheet!

It's part of her big flaw, even if you got a warpsbane hull it wouldn't do anything.

Yes, but with each time you spent a bunch of money there is a chance (based on how many rolls you make) that chucking this much gold around will draw attention from crime or something. Without you there, Von Stauss will have to deal with it on her own!

But you can tel her to get the popguns.

Hmmm.... so it would be useful to have someone "minding the shop", so to speak...

I have an idea!

[X] Ask Balthazar for pict-capts, identifying signs, anything which could help here.
[x] Write-In: We shall set forth at once - take the Argent and leave 'Tine and Von Strauss to manage the purchasing and preparations based on the previous plans.

We've just finished a campaign with 'Tine, so I am relatively comfortable with her taking the back-burner for a little while, and with her and Von Strauss together, we should be confident that the flotilla will be well organised. Tine is more than capable of dealing with any kerfuffles, and throwing around the weight of the Scourge name if needs be.

Meanwhile, Em and Ryia go on a spooky investigation! Then 'Tine arrives with the cavalry at a dramatic moment to bail them out when they bite off more than they can chew!
