Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
To Ravia, 'I would appreciate that.' Anika hands her auspex over. 'Either it needs maintenance or there's a lot more going on in this forest then I was expecting.'
As they moved into the forest, 'If I wasn't able to call for help I would wonder how easy it would be to get lost out here.' She will kneel down to see if the ground consisted of anything more then dried blood. 'Don't large animals usually have a den? Presumably they have to sleep somewhere.'

Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
Macharius reflexively returns the sign of Aquila.
Splendid! He unsheathed his power sword. Might be a bit unsporting to hunt them with the hammer, what? Besides, it doesn't leave much for a trophy, hoho!
How long after you started hunting them did you see the apparitions for the first time?Last edited by PotatoGolem; 2024-04-12 at 12:57 PM.

"Lord-Captain Jonell Lord-Captain mentioned a cave system mentioned, but he did not did not he did did not find any giants find," Kennoch remembered thoughtfully. "It could still could be worth be a second look second. Or we could we could hunt the regular boars regular. See if their if their ghostly guardians arrive ghostly."
"It was a GOOD plan, just completely impossible."

Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
While the rest of the group talked, Ravia was tinkering with the auspex. It took a little doing, but she was able to convince the machine spirit to ignore any lifesigns that were too small to be what they were looking for, which cut down drastically on the number of signals it was trying to work with. There were still a few ghosts, here and there - probably the chameleonic tree cats Echo had seen in the past.
"We think they live mostly in the caves. Not sure what's been causing them to come up more." Mikael shrugged.
Anika's investigation of the dirt didn't turn up much. She wasn't sure exactly what to be looking for, which didn't help. The forest was dense, but the undergrowth wasn't like a jungle, and it was hard to spot the trails before Mikael pointed them out. "Caves are this way."
Moving through the trees, the ground started sloping slowly upwards. There were more rocks on the ground, and through the trees ahead they caught glimpses of a dark opening in the ground, surrounded by moss-covered boulders. In front of the cavern, a large boar was rooting through the dirt. It didn't seem to have noticed them yet, or perhaps it didn't care.I used to do LP's. Currently archived here:

Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
"Are there likely to be more than that one inside the cave?" Hannabel pointed to the boar and asked Mikael. "Seems like we could take it down if we wanted to, but if that makes an angry horde of giant pigs come pouring out of their den, we won't be any closer to getting inside to investigate."

Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
Even this one looks rather large to me... Kennoch thought to himself with mild concern. He yet again wished they had some vehicles, so that he could take better cover. These trees seemed all too thin, suddenly.
"Are they are perceptive creatures creatures?" he asked quietly. "Infiltrating their burrows burrows their burrows could be risky could be. Perhaps it's better perhaps to fight them to fight out here here. Use the cave use as a choke point choke. Or perhaps or we could send send a servo-skull a.""It was a GOOD plan, just completely impossible."

Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
"They don't normally have to be. I don't think much of the local wildlife bothers them." Mikael had lowered his voice. Beyond, the boar continued snuffling through the dirt. They were presently downwind, in as much as wind could penetrate the thickness of the forest here, but if the winds changed the beast would probably smell them.

Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
Macharius chuckles. The point in hunting is to take them down, not avoid them! If they all come charging out, it just adds to the challenge!
With that, he snaps the helmet down on his head and charges the boar, lunging at it with his power sword. Have at you, beast!
Spoiler: OOC
Charge! Although maybe we need to roll initiative first, dunno.
(1d100)[68] vs 71, damage (1d10+11)[21], Pen 5. Blademaster re-roll if I miss: (1d100)[87] vs 71.

Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
Anika can only roll her eyes at that. 'At least wait till it's back is turned.' She'll try to get out of the way of the thing if it tries to run through Macharius.

"Well, at least he's having fun," Hannabel says with a shrug.
Having no intention of taking on one the great beasts in hand-to-hand combat, she moves to where she can get a clear shot at anything emerging from the cave while still remaining in cover.

"Oh oh oh oh!" Kennoch quietly exclaimed, a little surprised by the Captain's suddenness. His Hellpistol warmed to life, and if anything even remained of the animal after being skewered with such an advanced weapon, he was prepared to finish the job.

Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
Bursting from cover, Macharius charged forwards and skewered the boar with his sword. The beast's hide was incredibly tough, and even the power weapon seemed to be struggling to bite through it. The boar squealled in pain, thrashing about and pulling away from Macharius. Kennoch managed to get a shot off, but only grazed it. Somehow it was still standing, and it turned and made to run for the cave, whatever survival instincts it possessed telling it that it was no match for these foes alone.

Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
Come now, where's your fighting spirit?! As the boar turned to flee, Macharius drove forward, putting all his weight behind a precise thrust at the wound he had caused it.
Expected rather more ferocity from these things, what? All that size and tusks and all it does is try to flee. He sounded slightly disappointed.

"The beast seemed beast the beast far more durable more than I imagined I imagined," Kennoch murmured, still a bit concerned. "But perhaps perhaps there is opportunity there is in their toughness in..." He glanced to Ravia.
"In any case any, do we advance inside do we, or let them let them come to us to us to us to us?""It was a GOOD plan, just completely impossible."

'I suppose if Macharius wants to go first. Perhaps we could lure them out given time, but I don't there's any reason to hang about.'

Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
Macharius managed to catch the boar a backswing before it could get too far, and the best crashed to the ground dead. Macharius must have hit something important.
Mikael thumbed his palm and crept closer to the boar, prodding the corpse with the barrel of his rifle. "Y'see? Harder to kill than they look. Probably more'a them in the cave."I used to do LP's. Currently archived here:

Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
They do seem rather more sturdy than one would expect from a pig. Perhaps they actually can be hunted with the hammer, hoho!
He looks over at Mikael. How many of them congregate together? Hunting them in their lair could be entertaining, but im not sure how i feel about fighting 40 of the blighters, what!

"Usually half a dozen or so. Sometimes you can get them by themselves, that's easier."

Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
I suppose it would be better to know what the situation is and how many beasts there are. I do rather prefer to be on the surviving and trophy-taking side of the hunt rather than the dinner end, what! Send down the skull.

Re: Sea of Stars - IC III
Skul obligingly entered the cave. The rock caused a lot of interference, but Ravia had also spent a great deal of time upgrading the skull. The feed return on the dataslate was grainy, and lacking in colour, but functional.
For the first minute or two, all they saw were rocks and roots, and a pebbly dirt floor of the cave descending. Then the feed started picking up light ahead, a soft luminescence similar to the ambient glow of a cogitator screen in the darkness. There shouldn't have been anything electronic down there, or anything to produce light. Moments later, something wandered into view; another boar, like the one Macharius had slain, but with translucent flesh through which could be seen glowing bones. Its eyes were a solid white, and its body was wispy and indistinct around the edges, as though it weren't quite there.
It was a fearsome thing, and not something you'd want to run into alone. It turned and looked towards the video feed, appearing to notice the hovering skull, and set its feet in an aggressive stance. It looked like it might be preparing to charge the diminutive drone.I used to do LP's. Currently archived here:
