    It's probably for the better. I have a bad habit of looting everything except for their tooth fillings. I'm just a natural pack rat. This should keep me in check.

    I'm here and I need action posts from characters unless you want me to start treating them like my personal puppets.

    We all saw what happened to his last puppet. Don't let that be you!

    The Xenos got 'em! I knew it!

    I recommend an Exterminatus.

    Sorry Pollo, Chrysis, Zerg. I've sent PMs to the others and they haven't responded. If we have to continue with NPC Party we will.

    I'd like to invite you guys to post in the IC thread as though you were the only ones playing now, though, so it's up to you guys to move the group forward.

    @Chrysis: I'd like a medicae check on your last action, as well.

    So, I'm a bit unsure about fear rules. I assume that only enemies of something with a fear rating need to roll against it, and allies are fine, right?

    If not, I hope everybody enjoys insanity points.

    I'm only going to make enemies roll against it.

    Allies have no reason to roll against you, unless I deem it necessary.

    Seriously ladies let's get this moving. Someone do something before I do a fast-forward.

    I'm chilling to see if there are any entrances, exits, windows, etc. to which we can see in and may need to cover in case of an escape. I think most of us are in the same boat.

    Welp.

    This is dead.

    It was fun while it lasted.

    EDIT: Maybe in the future we can do this again and get somewhere, I had a good time, but if I can't get more than two or three players trying to move a six man party forward then I'm done here.

    Appreciate everyone's efforst, specifically Pollo, Chrysis, and Zerg Rush, you guys were great players and I'd gladly have you again. This is not to say that everyone else didn't try, specifically No-Quarter who had RL issues and couldn't post but did anyways.

    Well, I guess we at least get an award for lasting the longest.

    So, if it truly is all over and done, am I allowed to ask what the plot was going to be? I remember thinking Dark Eldar from the moment I read what it is that ghostfire actually does.

    It's unfortunate, but it looks like you're right. Pity, but it was certainly good for getting a feel for the system. Thanks for running it for us Maticore.

    Also, I'm with zerg rush; what would have happened? I'm interested to see what you had in mind.

    Well, I appreciate your appreciation.

    You were going to fight the gangers (who had strange xenos implants under their tattoos) and trace their supply through the sewers to Fallus Jax's warehouse. There you were gonna fight Jax (He was evil after all) and some rogue tech priests that were helping him, after which you would find a laboratory with bomb making materials, a large cache of ghostfire, a letter from quintus to the inquisition implicating Jax in the ghostfire theft, as well as a ship log with where the ghostfire was going.

    You were then going to ship out to a massive space station where your job would have been to track down the ghostfire shipping, here you'd see indications of some guy called Malice being in charge of all of this. Once you did that you'd fight your way onto a cargo ship through the hopped-up crew and fight a guy who had his skin replaced by with a light-reflecting chameoline called Malice. He'd escape (or if you actually did kill him, good job!) and the Inquisitor would send you to the sector capital to track him down.

    On the sector capital you'd find a huge cache of ghostfire after some investigation and you'd find a hidden network of Xenos cults. The Inquisitor would call in the big guns and bring in other teams to strike all of the cult bases simultaneously. You would attack a high spire apartment complex that had actually been converted into some kind of Xenos shrine. This is basically where you would have found out that the Dark Eldar were behind the whole thing. You'd fight a swarm of crazed cultists and corrupt Arbites enforcers before a showdown with a few dark eldar troopers in front of an open warpgate, which you would shut down for the climactic campaign finish.

    Thought for the Day - Heresy Grows from Idleness.

    I must say, I very much appreciate you DMing for us. After seeing the campaign I'm only sad that we didn't get to play through it.

    I knew it! With a name like Fallus, he has to be working for Slaanesh!

    Aw christ buckets. I just fix'd my tubes and i find out it's dead. They cut the cables to my internet by accident when they were doing community yard work out back. Well, damnit. It was truly fun. Thank you so much for DMing this for us, Maticore

    Sounds like it would have been cool. I especially think Malice is a neat villain.

    I was really planning on drawing him out until the last, I think a fight with two dark eldar warriors and him would have been a pretty badass test for the characters.
