[20:30] <@BradGM> It took a couple of hours of legwork to find the Underhiver making business in an area called Rusty Meadows, located in the heart of an ancient manufactorium long ago isolated from the industrial heart of the Hive City. After paying a few hundred Thrones to the Ratskin, he managed to give his â€˜expertâ€™ opinion on the matter and narrows down the meeting place to an almost certainty:Toxic Falls. [20:30] <@BradGM> A hive gang, called the Roaders, have been in a powerful position for longer than usual, having received anonymous support from a rich patron in the form of weapons, armours and gear. [20:30] <@BradGM>. After horrid negotiations to get local disguises form Bowels, Jonatan shook down his own snitches, which confirmed that a the roaders are paid by Bard, that an important meeting is to happen soon in Toxic Falls, and even that the nigh-untouchable â€œlegitimate businessmanâ€ Earnest Barg is even rumoured to be present himself. [20:30] <@BradGM>. Mockingbird is to go to Toxic Falls, While Falcon and the Arbites stalking the other possible rendez-vous locations.+++ [20:30] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:32] * @Grendel considers the time before making a plan for his spare time. For once his requisition list is non-existant, not having seen the need for a lascutter.

[20:35] <+Jonatan> (yeah) [20:37] <@BradGM> **After waiting in the filthiest sewer pipe of the sector, You can hear movment in the distance. You hide quickly, but you saw that it is only Bowels dragging a large bag on his shoulder; your diguises no doutb, and a few pots as well by the sound of it.** [20:37] <@BradGM> Bowels "Hey over here!" [20:37] * +Mira_Atella steps out from hiding and walks to him. [20:37] <+Jonatan> As the mission came closer to the hammer strike, Jonatan is readying himself down the the smallest detail. He now had a servo hunter in hand as he followed the other into the sewers, double checking it's mechanisms before turning to the Inquisitor's men "Is there a partiular way to idintify our suspects? Scars, a way they walk?" [20:38] <@BradGM> **He waves at you from down the drain.** [20:39] * +Lyra is resting her hands on the large case she carries with her [20:40] * @Grendel moves towards Bowels, absently considering reconsecration rituals to purify his augmentics after staying here for so long. [20:40] <@BradGM> **In a slightly larger section of the sewer, Bowels is busy getting out his disguises, nothing more than massed rags stitched together in a rather crude way with something that had no liking to any form of rope you can identify. Smeely greasy and digusting, those will envertheless help you blend in more with the underhive community.** [20:41] <@BradGM> Bowels "I even brought my best pot for yer' heads. I'd hate to see good paying cusotmers gets hat'd." [20:42] * +Jonatan frowns at the set of disguies the underhivers had brought, but he always knew undercover work was never pretty [20:42] <@BradGM> ((dislexsia is going'on tonight..)) [20:43] <@Grendel> ((Dyslexia is better than random french!)) [20:43] * @Grendel considers the clothing and looks for a set that could be worn over his bulk and armor.

[20:45] * +Mira_Atella takes to the "clothes" and picks out a suitable collection of rags.

[22:27] <@BradGM> ((either silent mvoe or conceal, whichever is higher..I suppose it must have one of them)) [22:27] <@BradGM> ((ogf course)) [22:28] <@BradGM> ((I'll give you a +20 as it can fluy high and since it's in silent mode, no need ot be inches fomr the target)) [22:28] <+Lyra> "With the Emperor's Light, of course." [22:28] * +Lyra gestures to the case at her feet [22:29] <+Jonatan> (my silent move stat or the servo's silent move?) [22:30] <@Grendel> "I am sure the Omnissiah will provide, and can provide in many ways." [22:30] <@BradGM> ((the skull's as he,s the one doing the scanning and all)) [22:31] <+Jonatan> ((oh, well then then I'm the a stupid bloke)) [22:31] <@BradGM> ((oh%)) [22:31] <+Jonatan> !dhroll 80 [22:31] <+DiceServitor> Jonatan: 54 Success by 2 degrees! [22:31] <@BradGM> ((don't tell me it dones't have either skills?)) [22:32] <+Jonatan> ((No, got it because it does have silent move, I thought you mean test my conceal skill)) [22:32] <@BradGM> ((oh hahaha)) [22:32] <@BradGM> ((roll it's awareness as well, visual)) [22:33] <+Jonatan> ((it starts with Ag 50 and +10 to move silent, plus whatever for being size (puny) [22:35] <@BradGM> ((In the mean time, you guys can position yourselves to stake-out the palce.)) [22:36] <@Grendel> "I suggest Mira leads while I will stay out of sight." [22:37] * +Mira_Atella looks oddly at him, "You want to be the stealthy one?" [22:39] <@BradGM> ((Jon: roll for your skull)) [22:41] <+Jonatan> (i did) [22:41] <@BradGM> ((I meant awareness to spot Barg)) [22:41] <+Jonatan> !dhroll 55 [22:41] <+DiceServitor> Jonatan: 3 Success by 5 degrees! [22:41] * @Grendel frowns beneath the respirator. "You are the stealthy one? It seems it is better for you to be in front while I am in the back where I am less likely to be noticed?" [22:42] <+Mira_Atella> (( it sounded like you wanted her to just walk along and you hide lol that's how I read it )) [22:42] <+Mira_Atella> "Yes, that will be best." [22:43] <@BradGM> **Jon, while you discuss who does what where, you get a buzz on your own vox connection. Your skull has detected Barg wihtin the search location.** [22:43] <@BradGM> ((he even knows what type of underwear he'S got with that roll)) [22:44] <+Jonatan> ((it thankfully is unable to speak, only scream internally)) [22:44] <@BradGM> ((directly into your ear)) [22:45] <+Jonatan> "Whatever plan you're going to come up with it should be soon, for out suspect is here" [22:45] <@BradGM> (llosing your hearing for the Emperor)) [22:47] * +Mira_Atella stands from where she had placed herself and starts to dust herself off, realizing it would be a fruitless endeavor and instead walks towards the exit of the tent. [22:47] * @Grendel nods and starts to head towards the 4 way again, moving slowly, engaging his auspex and keeping a eye out for gangers ,while listening to the vox. [22:48] * +Lyra will shoulder her case and follow the others [22:51] <@Grendel> "Which target arrived?" [22:52] <+Jonatan> "Barg" [22:53] <@BradGM> **The gangers appears to be a bit more spreaded out, those inside are still inside. You cen detect another group arriving wihtin your aupex scan; but instead of flak, it appears they are armoured wiht mesh, and packing something a bit more tehcnical than mere solid projectile weaponry.** [22:53] * @Grendel lets Falcon know that one of the targets has arrived. [22:54] * @Grendel focuses on the weaponry, curious. [22:55] <@BradGM> **roll tech-use** [22:56] <@Grendel> ((any bonus for hte auspex?)) [22:56] <@BradGM> ((only your standrd one, if any)) [22:56] <@Grendel> !dhroll 83 [22:56] <+DiceServitor> Grendel: 41 Success by 4 degrees! [22:58] <@BradGM> **You detect the highly potent and rather characteristic chemical mixture found in bolt shells. you also detect a little quantities of promethium; possible they have exterminator chartridges.** [22:58] <+Jonatan> (well, this went from bad to worse) [22:59] <@Grendel> ((how many new arrivals?)) [22:59] * +Mira_Atella keeps her position while the information is being gathered. [22:59] <@BradGM> ((Including Barg, 7)) [23:01] * @Grendel alerts the group to the new arrivals and the weaponry being employed. [23:01] * +Jonatan relays that information to the arbite strike squad [23:01] <+Mira_Atella> "Lovely.. We really can't just walk up to the front door." [23:02] <+Lyra> "It seems that our targets need to be exposed to the Emperor's Light." Lyra will set her case on the ground, opening it to reveal a plasma gun [23:03] <@BradGM> ((you're in the streets btw..)) [23:04] <+Lyra> ((thought most of us were out of line of sight?)) [23:05] <@BradGM> ((yeah but the streets are not deserted.)) [23:06] * @Grendel continues to move up, gathering data, attempting to plot the location of each of the gangers and guards. [23:06] <@BradGM> ((since oyu roleld well and all)) [23:07] <@BradGM> **you detect a dozen inside, 4 on roofs near-by, 2 north, 2 south, while there's another 8 outside, 4 up front, 4 patrolling around the buildings in groups of 2** [23:08] <@BradGM> **Barg and his 6 bodyguards are coming from the south, and you see them patrially as they move in view form the 4 way and enters the building.** [23:09] * @Grendel relays the locations to the group, moving off to the side where he won't be noticed as much. @@How long until the additional forces arrive?@@ [23:09] <@Grendel> ((oh hell, for some odd reason I thought both targets had arrived. We're still waiting for one aren't we)) [23:10] <@BradGM> ((yeah Gallus and cie)) [23:10] <+Jonatan> "Did any of us bring any exploives? If we can cut a portion of their forces in one blow it will be easier for our forces" [23:10] * +Mira_Atella looks to Grendel, "If anyone brought grenades, it's likely you." [23:11] <@BradGM> ((I think Lyra got something for that..worse case, plasma gun's a nice door maker)) [23:11] <@Grendel> "A Single Krak grenade." [23:11] <+Jonatan> "Did you expect a tank?" [23:12] <+Lyra> "The Emperor's Light is most useful for illumanting large numbers of the unfaithful." [23:13] <@Grendel> "They have proven useful against Gallus before." [23:15] * @Grendel attempts to determine the pattern of the Plasma gun as he attempts to blend in, keeping a watch on his internal auspex. [23:16] <+Lyra> ((it generates an Ominnnuuusssss huuuuuuuummmmm when active : ) )) [23:16] * +Jonatan nods "Then I concede the point, you have more experience with this enemy than I" [23:18] <+Mira_Atella> "Do we know when the others are arriving to assist us?" [23:19] <@Grendel> "Should we call them in before Gallus arrives? They may alert him." [23:19] <+Jonatan> "The strike squad is on close stand by, but it might be 10 minutes before they arrive once the signal goes out" [23:20] <+Mira_Atella> "It depends on how long it will take them to reach us." [23:21] <@BradGM> **Grendel, Roll tech-Use+20** [23:21] <+Jonatan> (actually, what's the armament of the strike squad anyway?) [23:22] <@BradGM> ((Rhino, the ususla arbites kit, shotgun, arbites carapce, assualt shiled wiht that nothc in which you cna fire a basic wepaon one hand)) [23:22] <+Jonatan> ((Any special/weavy weapons?)) [23:23] <+Mira_Atella> "We'll need them here as quickly as possible when we know that he has arrived. They could move closer without causing a disturbance to cut down on that 10 minutes." [23:23] <@Grendel> !dhroll 103 [23:23] <+DiceServitor> Grendel: 23 Success by 8 degrees! [23:24] <@Grendel> "If he has another one of those devices, capturing him may be an issue." [23:24] <@BradGM> ((The rhino would have a twin linked bolter on it, and a dozer blade for ramming inot building and making doors)) [23:25] <+Jonatan> "Understood" Jon said, then relayed the order [23:25] <+Mira_Atella> "As do I." Taps at the belt, even with it being covered under the makeshift clothing. [23:25] <@BradGM> ((one of the arbites should have whatever special wepaon you tohught they would reuqire, either grenade launcher or ehavy stubber)) [23:26] <@BradGM> **Grendle, you sudddnely detect a large energy signature appreaing almost form thin air from wihtin the building, on the second floor. You suddnely detect a dozen additionnal life signs, and some strnge energy readings. Xeno energy readings.**** [23:26] <+Jonatan> ((grenade launcher)) [23:27] <@Grendel> "I believe Gallus has arrived. Teleportation perhaps." [23:27] <@BradGM> ((you can roll forb lore Xeno to try and Id the energy signature)) [23:27] * @Grendel frowns and studies the xenos energy signature, seeing if her recognize it. [23:27] <@Grendel> !dhroll 53 [23:27] <+DiceServitor> Grendel: 47 Success by 0 degrees! [23:28] <+Jonatan> "If they can teleport in, how can we stop him from simply doing the same to excape?" [23:28] <+Lyra> "Maim him so he cannot concentrate due to pain?" [23:28] <@BradGM> **You detect it as an energy pattern found in Eldar technology; hard to say what it is exactly, but it is not more blets as Mira's.** [23:29] <@BradGM> ((Rememeber that Naval forces are to board the Galland, and if the teleportarium isn,t working, he can't really escape.)) [23:29] <@Grendel> "We may be able to stop him before he can teleport. The rituals required are complex." [23:30] <@BradGM> ((btw..anyone got some sort of shotgun mic?)) [23:30] <@Grendel> "There seems to be another piece of xenos technology that arrived with Gallus." [23:30] <@Grendel> ((not I)) [23:30] <+Jonatan> ((I have a shotgun, what do you mean by "mic")) [23:30] <+Mira_Atella> "Gallus should not be left alive if you have the chance to attack him. He won't give you another, especially if it is another machine in his place." [23:32] <@BradGM> ((a shotgun microphone, to listne inot conversationf orma distance)) [23:33] <@BradGM> **The Eldar energy reasing are actually numerous, small, but numerous** [23:33] <+Jonatan> (ah, no) [23:33] <@BradGM> **Grendel, suddnely, you detect that the white noise generator has been activated.** [23:33] * @Grendel frowns as the auspex updates. "Multiple signatures. I suggest we order the reinforcements to arrive and the attacks to start." [23:34] <@BradGM> ((Aaand let's stop it here for tongiht)) [23:34] <+Mira_Atella> (( okie dokie )) [23:34] <@BradGM> +++++++Terminate Transmission+++++++
