Thread: Call for aide (war40k action RP)

Lord Inquisitor Dannianus Dan Tellion of the Ordo Xenos reporting. Thought of the day Look not upon the Xeno, speak not to the Xeno, trust not the Xeno. This astropathic message was sent to the Ordo on Holy Terra and then given to me, and I am making it public to the Ordo after much scrutinizing on its authenticity. Message begins Transmitted Bakka PDF station IV20F Recieved Rynn's World Destination Holy Terra InterceptRedirect Holy Terra Date 2483752.M41 Telepathic Duct Astrotelepath Humiron REF Khronate Cult on the planet Bakka Author Inquisitor Hypax. Thought for the day This is Inquisitor Hypax of the Ordo Hereticus requesting aide on the planet of Bakka in the Segmentum Tempestus, Sector Badlus, Sub-Sector Bengin. I have spent many weeks on this planet investigating a group of Khorne Cultists infesting this holy world of His most benevolent empire. I have gotten nowhere in my search, but that is not why I request aide. It was recently relayed to me that a ship belonging to the Bakkas Imperial Navy. They have detected a mass of unimaginable size heading in the path of Bakkas orbit. The size they say the mass is leads me to few estimates on what it might be It may be a craftworld, an ork krooza, or, Emperor protect us, a tyranid hive fleet. I am not a member of the ordo xenos, but we do not get many orks out here, the closest craftworld is nearing the planet ghorstangrad I have received reports of eldar raiders in the area and the path of the hive fleets is nowhere close to us. Yet some of the officers claim to describe exactly that A tyranid hive ship. Why it has drifted so far off course I am unable to determine at this very moment. I am transmitting this communiqu to Holy Terra herself By the Emperor, send someone soon! I fear the hive ship may reach us anytime between ten 10 and six 6 standard Terran days. God Emperor, preserve us Tyranids The Emperor protects Inquisitor Hypax, out. This was the last communication we received from Inquisitor Hypax, which was exactly one day ago. We are unable to send word to him. What we can confirm is he was hunting a group of Khorne cultists looking to turn a planet into a type of gladiatorial planet dedicated to Khorne, in which worshippers of Khorne send warriors or slaves to kill one another in order to appease their blood god. They have failed to do so four times thus far. I can confirm that this is indeed a Tyranid hive ship belonging to the fleet Leviathan heading toward the planet of Bakka, although why it has deviated off course is unknown at this time. Many of my fellow Inquisitor Lords believe it was possibly knocked off course by either rogue asteroids or even rogue Orks. This is why I am asking for volunteers only of any Ordo. I have sent an atropathic message to the Ultramarines on Macragge as well as to our Deathwatch to see if they would be available for any immediate assistance. Our mission is simple We are to make warp travel to Bakka which will take approximately 2 terran standard days and upon arrival interrogate the first PDF officer or Arbite official we see. Inquisitor Hypax and his retinue were assigned the local PDF and Arbites to aide his search. Upon arrival, if Inqusitior Hypaxs estimates are to be believed, we will have only between seven 7 and four 4 days in which to assess the threat of the tyranid hive ship, find the Khornate cult, andor evacuate the planet of Bakka and have the Ultramarines take charge of the operation alongside three regiments of Imperial Guard from Tallarn Desert raiders. I have also sent out astropathic messages to the space marines of the Raven Guard, the Dark Hunters, and the Crimson Fists. I have yet to hear from them, as I made it clear that the mission was voluntary. The ultramarines have assured me they can reach Bakka within a standard terran week, as they have a debt to repay to Bakka for sending ships to their aide in their time of need with the Tyranids. Briefing is in twenty four hours. Right, so, chat based warhammer 40,000 RP. This is sort of a test run to see if people are interested in this or like it. There seems to be some interest in 40k rp so thats good. We will be using skype, and a dice rolling program called diceroller for skype , which I will explain the use of that in a moment. I will be the narratorlord inquisitorany major NPC in the game, and you will be playing inquisitors. Since 40k is mostly a combat focused universe, there will be a lot of combat, so I thought I would have that resolved by using a mix of rogue trader game rules and the current table top game rules. Dont worry, you dont need to know any of them, Ill be doing most of the work. On occasion, I will ask you to just make a dice roll an then Ill work that out. The rest is up to you you dictate your own combat, where your bullets go, where you aim them if you aim at all and that sort of thing. Like I said its a test run to see how it goes, this is very much subject to change. If it happens to move too slow I will toss all of this out the window and go with the wing it option. Both of course are do-able I just have no clue how it will work out. Now, being mostly a combat universe doesnt mean there wont be time to RP. Im going with this one first because with inquisitors there is less combat than, say, with space marines. Inquisitors will be running around, talkingyellingthreatening people, figuring out what the hell is going on, spending lots of time in sewers, and then killing. Space marines do that first. If I wanted that Id find a deathwatch game. This scenario is not concrete, meaning we can do whatever. I just figure Id do this to see if people like it. We can do space marines one week, orks the next, tau, whatever. Just as long as I get time to get myself familiar with it you know? PM me for my skype name. Free to bug me there with questions or ykno make a forum post about it. I havent set a start date for the RP yet dont have enough people. If you dont know anything about 40k, I will be more than pleased to give you a crash course. And uh, I guess you could make an RP post if you want. Just sort of copy my thing above as a blueprint. FYI The pluss mean astropathic communication, so no need for that. editalso, there is no set schedule yet.
