Deathwatch - A Prize Most Valuable (IC)

Svari scowls at his Bolter as it once again fails to bring the Traitor Marine to his well deserved end and casts it aside before drawing his Chainswords to meet with the betrayer in close combat and bring an end to his evil.

Scowling at the heretics still charging at him, Charon redirects his fire back to the center. "None can be trusted but the Unforgiven..."

Putting his displeasure aside, Charon again unleashes a tide of death from his heavy bolter.

As the rounds begin to explode amongst the foe, the bolter's chamber clicks open on an empty magazine.

"Metal storm ammunition expended. Keep these heretics off me while I reload."

Spoiler

Kaeste fires off a round from his Bolter, but none of the shells find a target; each shell flying harmlessly into the ground around the charging Heretics.

Tristan fires off a round at the distant CSM and it seems like his time spent aiming will pay off (see Svari and Onissius' combat to view results).

Charon's fire is almost just as ineffective, however a solitary shell manages to unleash it's payload of frag over a grouping of Heretics. They tumble, a blood mess, to the ground.

The remaining Heretics, driven onwards by the prospect of blood and violence, continue to run at Charon without fear of death.

(Full Action Run - 18m. Heretics are 23m from Charon. 4 Mag Damage to the Heretics leaves them on 7 Mag)

It is now Kaeste's Turn, followed by Tristan and Charon. (You've each posted actions incredibly quickly!)

(First I'll see if the CSM is aware that he's being shot at by Tristan. If he isn't, he can't dodge. Remember, he's more or less your equal, so he's not gunna be terribly easy. Awareness = 60 vs (1d100)[49]. If he's aware, Dodge = 40 vs (1d100)[18].)

For a moment, it looks as if Tristan's rounds will impact the CSM straight in his blasphemous head. However, using his superior senses and reflexes, he ducks and weaves to avoid both shots, continuing on his run.

Svari then charges at the Traitor Marine, a curse to to their name on his lips, and brings his Chainsword sweeping across him. Unfortunately, just before the sweep of the weapon, Svari stumbles on a rock and his Chainsword roars harmlessly in front of the CSM. In response, the CSM raises his own Chainsword and bellows: "Ah, finally some sporting prey!"

The Heretics, now desperate to join their master in close combat with an Astartes, continue to run forwards to join the fray.

(Full Action Run - 18m. 46m away from you).

It is now Onissius' Turn.

Onissius lets a crackle of electrical energy surge from his fingertips at the CSM engaged with Svari. The Traitor Marine shakes violently and cries out in anguish as white hot lightning sears across his body, but retains his combat readiness; not wanting to falter in the face of Svari. "Warp take you, Psyker!" He spits through his helmet's vox.

(39 Damage - (10 Body AP + 8 TB) = 21 Damage = 8 Wounds left)

Despite the searing damage of Onissius' psychic power, the CSM sends a flurry of slices at Svari with his corrupt Chainsword; it's metallic teeth whirring, screaming for blood in an unholy tongue.

(Swift Attack, 2 Normal Attacks, +10 WS for Loyalist Marine Hatred. WS 50 + 10 = 60 vs (1d100)[83] - 1st Attack. (1d100)[78] - Second Attack. First Attack Damage - (2d10+14)[1][4](19). Second Attack Damage - (2d10+14)[2][9](25). Emperor finally decided to pity you after those awful rolls? )

The Traitor Marine convulses as he attempts to slice at Svari, a product of Onissius' deadly lightning; leaving his swings wide and the Loyalist Astartes unhurt.

It is now Svari's Turn.

Meanwhile, the Heretics are continuing to run across the plains to aid their master.

Azirel, fueled by a Righteous Battle Frenzy, lets out a mighty roar and swings and arcs his Chainsword round and round him, the Chainsword roaring with him. To his Brothers, his movements almost seem beautiful for a moment: fluid and elegant and unpausing in their path. He is then obscured momentarily by waves of blood as dozens of Heretics around him burst and fall apart at the devastating whirlwind of slices. Azirel is now a walking pillar of blood, much, no doubt, to his delight.

Onissius continues to send searing bolts of lightning from his fingertips and the CSM shakes violently; steam beginning to rise off his unholy Power Armor. He cries out in anguish again, but remains focused on Svari.

(26 Damage - 10 AP - 8 TB = 8 Damage. 0 Wounds left)

Now desperate to appease his Dark Gods, the Traitor Marine stabs and swings at Svari with renewed vigour; his wounds beginning to take their toll on him.

(Swift Attack, 2 Attacks. WS of 60 to beat. 1st - (1d100)[57]. 2nd - (1d100)[84]. 1st Damage - (2d10+14)[6][4](24) - 20. 2nd Damage - (2d10+14)[6][10](30).)

The Traitor Marine misses his stab attempt, but swings his Chainsword around in a low arc towards Svari's Right Leg.

Svari can make a Dodge or a Parry Test (Chainswords are Balanced, so that's a +10 to Parry) to negate the hit. Otherwise that's 4 damage I believe. It is now Svari's Turn.

Svari quickly flips the Chainsword in his right hand into an underhanded grip and slams it forward, knocking the Traitor's own Chainsword away.

Alyxander fires the Basilisk shell towards the Enemy held Basilisk. The shell whistles through the air and at the very last moment the crew manning the Basilisk and those Renegade Militia around it leap for safety. Their efforts are in vain as Alyxander's shell lands almost directly on top of the Enemy Basilisk. The initial detonation is followed rapidly by more explosions as the ordinance aboard the Enemy Basilisk explodes also, causing a tremendous explosion and causing the ground to rumble slightly. As the smoke clears and the dust settles, a large, blackened crater is all that remains of where the Basilisk once stood. There are no visible survivors or even any body parts for that matter. A cheer goes up from the Fortress.

Meanwhile, the Heretics around Azirel continue to hack and slash away at him.

(Attack = WS 35 vs (1d100)[51]. Damage, if applicable = (2d10+3)[18] P2)

The Heretic's blades glance off Azirel's armor, yet again, leaving him unhurt by the unholy assault.

In the distance, the Renegade Militia and Heretics from the Northern assault are beginning to close. They are currently about 100m away from you and are running towards Alyxander's position; thinking the Heretics around Azirel have him covered. Bullets begin to plink off the Basilisk's armor. Alyxander also notices a lone CSM amongst the rank and file of Militia and Heretic. No doubt the Traitor that still lives has relayed the situation taking place around the Southern fringes of the assault to his Brother and he is coming to assist.

Svari sends another flurry of swings and swipes at the Traitor Marine. Two of the attacks miss and the CSM skillfully parries a lunge from Svari with a swish of his Chainsword.

With his concentration still on Svari, the CSM notices the approaching Heretics and directs them so: "Attack the Psyker, whelps! Reclaim the Basilisk and you shall be rewarded!" Not wanting to argue with their master, they ignore Svari and move to attack Onissius; moving around the duel taking place between Svari and the CSM.

(Full Action Run - 18m. Heretics are now more or less beside Svari, who may attack them, if he chooses to. 10m from Onissius.)

It is Kaeste, then Tristan and Charon's Turn.

Alyxander's Basilisk fires off a shell with a roar. The payload lands a second later on top of the Western-most Enemy Basilisk and each of you hears, sees and feels a huge explosion as the ordinance aboard the Enemy Basilisk adds to the initial explosion. A cheer is heard from the Fortress, although this is quickly drowned out by another barrage of Enemy Basilisk fire from around the Fortress. More chunks of wall and Fortress begin to fall away under the constant assault, but they hold... for now.

(OOC: As Executus mentioned OOC, sustained damage is 2d10, not 3d10. Even so, you're not done enough damage to hurt him either way.)

Onissius continues to send powerful Psychic lightning from his fingertips towards the CSM fighting Svari. The Traitor Marine shudders violently, but is otherwise unhurt.

(13 Damage - 10 AP - 8 TB = 0 Damage)

Meanwhile, the Renegade Militia and the Heretics from the Northern assault run to retake the Basilisk and eliminate you from the battlefield, in the name of the Dark Gods.

(Both Hordes run 18m. 82m from Svari.)

The duel between Svari and the Alpha Legion Marine continues and the CSM slices and stabs at Svari, hoping to finally injury the Loyalist Marine.

(Swift Attack - 1st Attack: 60 vs (1d100)[93]. 1st Damage = (2d10+17)[6][5](28) P4. 2nd Attack: 60 vs (1d100)[83]. 2nd Damage = (2d10+17)[6][6](29) - A whole lot of nothing...)

Perhaps it is Svari's melee combat finesse, the Traitor Marine's lack thereof, or Onissius' efforts to shock the CSM or some combination of the three that keeps the CSM's Chainsword from slicing into Svari. He gives a low, frustrated growl.

Svari, on the other hand, has more luck killing the Heretics. He cuts left and right into the running servants of Chaos at opportune moments. He fells many, slicing the unholy men in half at the waist, but they continue to run past him.

(5 Mag Damage, Horde is down to 15 Mag)

The Heretics continue their run towards Onissius, not wanting to disobey their master, and engulf the Basilisk; screaming foul curses as they clamber up the Basilisk to attack him.

Onissius continues his Psychic assault on the Alpha Legion Marine. He shudders yet again at the powerful Psychic lightning, but appears otherwise unhurt. Steam casually rises from his armor. "KILL HIM YOU FOOLS!" He screams at the Heretics massing around Onissius. In response to this, Onissius simply quickly draws his Bolt Pistol and casually fires a single shot indiscriminately into the Horde massing around him. His Bolt travels through a great deal of Heretical bodies, shrapnel taking a few more with them, before it stops; leaving a line of dead Heretics in it's wake.

(1 Hit + 1 Explosive = 2 Mag Damage. Horde is at 13 Mag.)

Meanwhile, the Renegades and Heretics from the Northern Assault start to get closer to the action.

(Both Horde's Run 18m. 82m from Svari, 92m from Onissius.)

The duel continues with Svari and the Traitor Marine. He arcs his Chainsword high, then spins to follow up; hoping to finally catch the Astartes in the teeth of his roaring Chainsword.

(Swift Attack. 1st Attack = WS 60 vs (1d100)[80]. 1st Damage = (2d10+17)[2][5](24). 2nd Attack = WS 60 vs (1d100)[21]. 2nd Damage = (2d10+17)[5][3](25) - 22 Pen 4.)

The arc attack misses Svari as he quickly leans back to avoid the Chainsword's hungry teeth. The spin, on the other hand, seems as if it will Svari in the right arm unless he manages to Parry or Dodge this vicious attack.

It is now Svari's Turn, he may Parry or Dodge the single successful attack made against him by the CSM.

[Ceridan]

The machine spirit of Tristan's Godwyn pattern bolter was obviously furious over the traitor marine dodging it's holy retribution and rebelled when it was denied another shot at him when it was turned on the closer heretics. Now is not the time to be Temperamental, he admonished the weapon in his mind.

The heretics would be on brother Charon before he could unjam his bolter so another option was called for. "Grenade!" Tristan called to his brothers as he took a frag from his grenade dispenser and took a second to judge the angle before he lobed it at the fast approaching heretics.

Those Heretics not caught in the initial blast keel over and bleed to death from gaping holes and gashes in their body; a result of the lethal shrapnel of Tristan's grenade. By the time Charon finishes reloading, all of them are dead or dying a slow death from blood loss.

The Guardsman along the Fortress' Southern wall begin to disperse towards either the East or West sides of the walls, their jobs not done yet.

Svari sweeps his Chainsword downwards and knocks the Traitor Marine's Chainsword away. He then follows up with a mighty war-cry as he counter spins, Chainsword roaring in hand. The CSM barely has time to recover from the skilled parry and raises his Chainsword in an attempt to Parry Svari. This effort proves to be too little, too late, as Svari's Chainsword rips through his Power Armor and flesh on his Right Hand, causing blood to squirt for a moment as two of his fingers are removed from the grip of his Chainsword before the wounds clots. He fumbles his Chainsword for a second with a howl of agony which causes the Heretics surround Onissius to consider helping their master. After a moment he straightens up again, still holding his Chainsword, his audioable breathing a mixture of agony and anger.

(After accounting for AP, TB and True Grit, CSM is on Crit 6 Rending damage to the Right Arm and with 3 level of Fatigue)

Despite the dire situation their master is in, the Heretics obey their orders and attack Onissius, bringing their blades down upon him in a flurry of slices and stabs.

(Attack on Onissius - WS 35 vs (1d100)[64]. Damage is (2d10+3)[15] Pen 2)

Having been distracted by the Heretics, Onissius' psychic lightning begins to wane a little and the CSM continues to remain standing.

The Renegade Militia and the Heretics from the Northern assault continue to move closer to the action.

(Both Hordes Full Action Run 18m. 64m from Svari, 74m from Onissius.)

The CSM, badly wounded and knowing he will likely not survive much longer, activates the pain suppressor reservoir in his Power Armor (which will function for (1d10)[3] rounds) and switches his Chainsword to his good hand. Then, with a curse to the Space Marines on his lips, launches a ferocious attack against Svari.

The Traitor Marine raises his Chainsword high and brings it down with great brutality on Svari's bare head (unless you can link me to a post otherwise, you mentioned you had your helmet off). Chunks of flesh and blood spurt from a hideous wound on Svari's face and the Alpha Legion Marine chuckles slightly at the revenge he has finally received.
