Hissing slightly, Ignace picked up the pace, opting not to take the time to heal his wounds. He could heal up when he was no longer being shot at. Rushing down the stairs, he hoped he could get far enough away that his defensive measures would protect him.

The Armsman didn't hesitate as the Blind grenade landed and spewed its load of smoke.
It was a simple matter to shift his grip to take advantage of the mounted bayonet. It was simpler still to swallow his fear and charge straight through the smoke, towards the last known poistion of his prey, letting loose a bloodthirsty battle cry and thrusting the deadly tip of his bayonet towards his foe.

Re: Knowledge Is Power [Dark Heresy] - IC
Katyra, feeling rather well roasted, and having to ignore the wave of blisters that'd formed over her back, is practically growling as she hefts her own flamer, her scorched hair brushing ash off the shoulders of the flak armour. "We need to do something about that thing. Think it likes being on fire as much as it enjoys burning?"

"Stand and Fight it is, then. If you can hit them both, do it, though I don't know how effective flame will be." Hieronymus, sword drawn, ducked under the spiral staircase. With any luck, the heavy metal stairs would help mask whatever method of detection they were using.
"Concentrate on the servitor first. That heavy gun will tear us to pieces."

Re: Knowledge Is Power [Dark Heresy] - IC
Heironymous, Ignace & Katyra
SpoilerDarting down the spiral steps, Ignace hurtled out of the Servitor's field of fire - feet hammering on his way down, he heard the others' voices, descending a level or two before he caught up with them. They seemed to be preparing an ambush.
Somewhere up above, there was a heavy clang - the sound of a ponderous metal foot hitting the stairs. They were being pursued - albeit apparently at a slow walking pace.
Heironymous Only
SpoilerNot in the slightest, chuckled the daemon, its macabre glee at the prospect of imminent violence heating the inside of Heironymous' head like a coal fire. Shall we find out for ourselves?

Red & Jericus
SpoilerThe man spat, drawing a vicious-looking combat knife from his boot. Twisting out of the path of Red's bayonet, he lunged at his attacker. Red darted nimbly out of the way, the slashing blade whistling through the air where he had stood.
SpoilerHalf action to ready combat knife, half action Standard Attack.
(1d100)[6] - hit.
Dodge: (1d100)[15] - dodged.
Damage: (1d10+3)[8]
I'm posting this on my lunch break, so don't have my books: my memory of the damage may be incorrect.
Jericus, meanwhile, held his cover, the barrel of his autogun carefully tracking the melee erupting in front of him. The tech-priest had no desire to get involved in a brawl.

As Red twisted out of the way, he let his trained eye wander over his foe's stance, and attempt to find an opening in his guard to exploit, and drive the bayonet through.

Hieronymus pauses for a second, as though thinking, and then nods. "Alright. Katyra, make sure neither Ignace or I am in the field of fire when you shoot. I've no desire to be toasted. And find some cover. Bit of extra protection from those guns won't hurt.

"Give it up, Trooper." Red commanded, staying his attack for the moment, but still holding the gleaming point of his bayonet at the ready and not dropping his guard.
"You're outnumbered. You're outgunned. You're Surrounded. You're wounded. And most of all, you're worth a lot more to the Emperor alive than you are dead. You have some training, you might even survive a stint in the Guard. Put your weapons down now and I won't gut you like I did to every Heretic I ever met in those Emperor-forsaken trenches."

Spoiler"All right," said the man, raising the hand with the knife to a non-threatening position: he did not let it fall, however, no trace of his fear in his voice. "You want to talk, tell your friend to put the gun away."
Still holding his aim, Jericus glanced sideways at Red, waiting for the guardsman's confirmation.

Red glowered back at the trooper, not relaxing his guard, either.
"My friend will shift relax his weapon, but he will not stow it, not as long as you have that blade in your hands." he said aloud, partially directed at Jericus and at the trooper, himself.NaNoWriMo Beat Me

"You killed Jant," he said, curtly. He didn't seem too cut up about it. "The sarge isn't going to be happy with you. How'd you get in here?"

"Both yourself and Jant were fleeing the scene of a firefight occurring between your squad and an Adeptus Mechanus Secutor after using a classified authorisation code to enter a Forbidden vault. Upon attempting to apprehend you, after giving you both a verbal and ballistic warning, you procceded to open fire. I was well within my rights to kill Jant, and remain in my rights to kill you."

"You want answers? How's about we trade." He shifted his grip on the knife. "Starting with who the drek you are, and what gives you the authority to be 'apprehending' anyone."

Letting the the powers that gave him slight precognition fade from his mind, Ignace let the same powers flow into the rest of his body, attempting to heal the wounds he had suffered.
SpoilerLet's see if I can heal myself without completely messing things up. Threshold is 7 if I can stand at least 2m away from Katyra, 17 if I can't.

Heironymous, Katyra & Ignace
SpoilerThe slow footsteps grew nearer and nearer - a heavy clang as the augmetic foot slammed down, and a soft scrape as the remnants of the organic leg dragged behind it.
Thud-screech.
Thud-screech.
Thud.
The lights around them still flickering and dimming, the noise of the Secutor's progress came to a halt: coming as close to the edge of his cover as he dared, Heironymous tried to get a visual on their enemy.
The hulking figure of the Secutor stood silhouetted against the staircase - those mechandendrites that were not engaged in propping up its crumpled form quested through the air like hungry worms, the sights of their ballistic attachments scanning back and forth. The plasma gun twitched right and left with irregular, impatient movements, the smell of hot metal drifting through the air from its glowing coil.
Behind the corpse-thing, the Servitor was descending the staircase, its progress almost as clumsy as the dead man's. All around them, the flickering of the lights was becoming more erratic...

Hieronymus signaled to Katyra with a curt hand motion, then checked behind him to make sure that Ignace was ready as well. As soon as both of their targets were in range, he wanted them flamed and hit with the grenade. Then it would be time to cut them down.

Carefully edging out only enough to see around the shelves of books, Katyra holds the flamer out from herself, waiting until the Secutor was cleanly on the floor, and in her sights, then with a hissing FWOOSH, letting loose a torrent of flame in the zombie-techpriest's direction. "BURN, IN THE LIGHT OF THE EMPEROR!"
Well, it's not really a surprise when you're starting with a massive burst of fire, anyway, right? And it's more of a distraction this way!Spoiler

Jant, Aldric and me, we were supposed to be guarding the index tower, until the cog-head showed up. He had what you might call superior firepower, so after Aldric got toasted, we made a tactical retreat."
"As for the code... you'd have to ask Lord Rhodes." He shrugged. "He's got an adept with him, some kind of little tech-weasel or other. Bypassed the security systems."

"I'll offer you a deal.
