There's two places we could be. Have we already passed a T-junction? Reckon he'd know that, less he wasn't paying attention.

Is it bad that Drake okay, I really want to charge something with a chainsword rather than take the sensible option of running away?

Not certain - does all this "eyes up" talk mean you guys are proceeding ahead?

To be clear: the torn duct and such are on the left fork of the T-junction.

I think that's a sign that we should avoid going left, wouldn't you guys say? We should be able to get around to the right, or we could double back. Tychon is following Red's lead, if no better option presents itself.

I don't know. It's already BEEN left. It's not looking for prey there.
Unless it continued left and doubles back.

To be honest I feel like a complete sucker for suggesting we stick to small, windy corridors in a horror sci-fi setting. Really stepped in that one.

I don't think doubling back will earn us much relief. We could turn right, head for the main corridor and happily skip down that way, though.

Well, one of you had better make a decision, or I'll have an NPC lead the way. And NPCs often choose... poorly.

We could let an NPC choose a direction, and then go the opposite direction.

Much of a muchness, really. If we're where we think we are.

If Tychon doesn't suggest something, Drake's going to step around the corner. Because what are tyrannical warrior-priests for but jumping blindly into the unknown with their trusty chainswords?

EDIT: So many 500 errors that the board actually slapped me on the wrist for double-posting.

No, Jericus. You are the stealer cultists.

Tychon didn't make Rapid Reaction, so the Lictor gets to go again!

Shock table rolls for NPCs:
Eustacia - (1d100)[13] - may only take a half action. Cool as a cucumber.
Norton - (1d100)[64] - frozen in terror until he snaps out of it.
Thrax - (1d100+50)[96] - fleeing
Rabilas - (1d100+40)[112] - faints

From the first crit, Rabilas is already at (1d10)[1] levels of fatigue. The Lictor makes a Standard Attack.

(1d100)[77] - miss
(1d10)[3], (1d10)[4]
Toughness - (1d100)[19]
Toxic_Damage - (1d10)[2]


It uses the Assassin's Strike talent to try to move as it attacks: (1d100)[34] - succeeds

It then tests Concealment to go chameleonic again: (1d100)[59] - passes by 1.

Test Awareness at -30, as an opposed check to the test above, to be able to keep sight of it.

Rabilas has fainted for (1d5)[4] rounds.

Will edit the IC post with this stuff, and then put up a map in just a tick.

Tauron doesn't have Awareness trained and his Perception's only 29, so I'm pretty sure that's an automatic failure.

You guys hold it down while I run back to the shuttle for the Emperor's Holy Promethium Dispenser?

I'm currently watching Aliens (on Channel 4) myself. For research purposes.

You know, I don't really find Lictors all that threatening. I mean, heck, when I ran one up against my players they not only spotted it before it could ambush them, but they killed it during the surprise round using only charging melee attacks. So, that strategy should work for Nova.

Even though they were playing Deathwatch. And all four of them are Space Wolves skilled in melee.

We'll see how well this goes.

Fear roll: (1d100)[13] vs. 40 (40 base willpower, -10 for Fear (2), +10 for being Mind Cleansed)

If that fails, Shock roll: (1d100)[89] +10 per degree of failure

Awareness check (assuming Nova doesn't freak the hell out): (1d100)[81] vs. 18 (28 base perception, +10 skill mastery, +10 Heightened Senses (sight, sound), -30 because Lictors are sneaky buggers)

EDIT: Hooray, no fear for me! Even if the awareness roll failed hardcore. I'd consider spending a fate point on it, but considering I'm pretty sure I'm down one or two for the day already (and the tiny chance of passing it), I'll just go with 'Can't see beastie but still in control of myself'.

Wow, I go to hang out with the family for ONE Sunday...

Fear - (1d100)[48]
Awareness - (1d100)[81]
FatePointFear - (1d100)[53]
Shock - (1d100)[94]

Is that all the rolls I need to make? I think it is?
WP = 28 -10 = 18
Per = 30 - 30 = 0

Auto-fail, even Trained. Sadface.

94 + 30 = 124
"Totally overcome, the character screams and vomits uncontrollably for (1d5)[3] rounds. During this time he is helpless, may do nothing, and drop [sic] anything he is holding. Afterwards, until the end of the encounter, the character may only take a single Half Action each Turn until he can rest. The character gains (1d5)[4] Insanity Points."

Ewww. Inside his helmet, too.

Can I have a Free Action to take the thing off?
