D) We are better at sneaking that fighting, besides, we reckon cutting the head off this snake will just increase the suffering of the populace.

(just out of curiousity is there anywhere in the previous section where our 5 in watching might have been helpful?)

Nobody likes khorne flakes. Buckshot to the face!

Also, the rifle needs to be added to our inventory.

Thank you, and, fixed.

There were no rolls requiring the skill, but I did slip several details into the descriptions Gwynana would've otherwise missed.

[Ardent Debater]

You glare at the brute, and spit on the ground. He watches with hungry eyes as you slowly and painfully wrench the bloody javelin out of its seeping, gory wound. The blade was rusted, filthy, and hooked, it'll leave a nasty scar, and in the days to come, an infection could set up. Then again, in the here and now tetanus is the least of your worries. As soon as you finish your preparations, the axe-wielding savage laughs and you draw your sawn-off, firing in one smooth motion.

Gwynana:
1-2=-1
(-2: Mid Range)

VS

Khornate Warrior:
8+2=10
(+2: Mid Range)

*C-CHINK, C-CHINK, C-CHINK*

The fucking gun jammed! The brute laughs once again, and raises his axe above his head, "WITCH, KHORNE SENDS HIS REGARDS!!! NOW, DIE!!! RAAAAAAGH!!!"

Gwynana:
5-2=3
(-2: Moderately Wounded)

VS

Khornate Warrior:
14+2+4=20
(+2: Moderately Wounded)(+4: Axe Skill)

You draw your knife, dodge to the side and thrust, but your knife does nothing against the brute's armor, and even if it had pierced, the savage is so filled with rage you doubt he would've noticed! Almost faster than you can see, his axe hacks against you in a thunderous two-handed blow, your body is cut open, his blade goes a solid six inches into your stomach, and you're knocked off of your feet!

Gwynana:
19-2-2=15
(-2: Moderately Wounded)(-2: On The Ground)

VS

Khornate Warrior:
4+4+2+2=12
(+4: Axe Skill)(+2: Moderately Wounded)(+2: On The Ground)

He goes to cleave your skull asunder, but a sudden quickness fills you; you twist aside, his mighty blow fails to connect, and with a sweep of your legs, you trip your opponent!

Gwynana:
18-2=16
(-2: Moderately Wounded)

Khornate Warrior:
8+4+2=14
(+4: Axe Skill)(+2: Moderately Wounded)

You're up on your feet a moment before your foe, and you launch a desperate counterattack!

10+2-2=10
(+2: On The Ground)(-2: Moderately Wounded)

VS

Khornate Warrior:
18+4-2: 20
(+4: Axe Skill)(-2: On The Ground)

Getting back on his feet as fast as lightning, he slaps your blade aside a split second before it reaches his throat!

Gwynana:
11-2=9
(-2: Moderately Wounded)

VS

Khornate Warrior
6+4+2=12
(+4: Axe Skill)(+2: Moderately Wounded)

His axe whips up, cutting your cheek open! If you hadn't lurched back in time, your skull would be in two halves!

Gwynana:
7-2=5
(-2: Moderately Wounded)

VS

Khornate Warrior:
17+4+2=23

He swings his axe in a downward swipe, chopping your right foot clean off!

As your lifeblood leaves you, you look up at your foe. He stands, axe above his head, and the last words you hear are,

"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!!!"

GWYNANA HAS BEEN SLAIN IN MORTAL COMBAT, AND HER SOUL IS CONSUMED BY TZEENTCH!

CHOOSE ONE:

A.) Continue as a Cult Leader in Nint!
B.) Restart the game in a new thread!
C.) Game Over, that's it, it's final!

Spoiler:  GM Note (click to show/hide)

I swear upon Chaos Itself, and I hope you understand that I did not intend for Gwynana's life to end this way, but the rolls are rolls, and it wouldn't be a proper Warhammer 40k SG if the protagonist was shielded in plot armor. I can't help but notice that the Khornate rolled 8 several times, and don't worry, Gwynana's skull has been given a proper place upon the Skull Throne. I'd like it if we could continue or start another cult on another world, but I understand if you don't want to continue the SG.

[Doubloon-Seven]

WELL THEN. RIP Gywnana, slain in the neverending battle against khorne flakes.

Well.....That sucks....B

[helmacon]

Those Rolls.. Lol.

You know, just once i'd like to see an anti imperium rebellion thats not rooted in chaos but just a general anger at the shitty things the imperium does. I find it odd that considering the state of the imperium there are no regular rebels, just cultists and such. I want to be a human secular faction in the Warhammer 40K universe.

There are plenty of regular rebellions, and incidentally, that's how most Chaos uprisings start to begin with! If you're interested in secular rebellions, read up on the Severan Dominate, Soul Drinkers, and the Badab War.

I'll wait another day to tally the votes. After that, I'll end this thread and either start a new SG, continue this thread, or stop running the SG entirely. How is everyone enjoying the SG so far? The writing style, tone, and mechanics, is there anything you'd like me to change, or any complaints you might have? Don't hesitate to speak your mind, I'm fairly thick-skinned, and no healthy community project can survive without the community's input and criticism.

[NRDL]

It's a very nice suggestion game, I like your system for rolling. If you're gonna do a new thread ( for ease of access for newer readers/players I guess ) please leave a link in this one.

[Mithras]

B) I'm liking it so far. The one quality of life improvement I would appreciate is that for options where the rolls that would need to be made seem obvious an idea of the modifiers we would be aware of are stated for example, your skill in lying would be useful here, the slave's gratitude will be to your advantage, the khornate gang leader looks pretty handy with an axe or picking a lock in the dark is more difficult.

[Doubloon-Seven]

I like it. The idea of an underhiver that has never heard of chaos, never seen a lasgun, is interesting. The rolling system is very good, and the storytelling is well written, and with an interesting premise.

[TopHat]

That was a good (if short) read. I'll vote A.

[Ardent Debater]

Spoiler:  GM Note (click to show/hide)

It has been roughly twenty-four hours, so I'll tally the votes!

A: 3
B: 4

B is the winner!

It looks like we're going back to character creation in another thread. I'll leave this thread unlocked if you want to continue discussion about the game mechanics, heretical theology, or whatever else. It was a fun run, and I'm glad I ran it! It's too bad it ended so soon, but then again it's also the first SG I've ran to its conclusion. A bit of a win/lose there, but I'm content. Note, if you all want to outright restart the game with Gwynana as a Tzeentchian again, there is nothing stopping you, but it might be fun to do something different.

[Taricus]

Well, nothing says you can't just continue it in this thread, just link the start of the next character in the OP.
