I looked through this section and noticed that there are no CYOAs at all
I've got one that has been going for the last two years on another site, but that one is becoming boring. Always getting harder and harder to keep it going without contradictions or plot holes. Anyway I was thinking of doing one about a Gretchin for a while and finally got around to trying it.

I guess I should explain how it works, just in case. I'll write the story and at the end of each update you'll get a few choices. Anyone can vote for these, but only one vote per update. Then once it hits three for the same one (that's what I've been doing for the last one, but this might change depending on how many there are so even if it hits three still vote, it will help me figure out numbers and adjust the voting to suit it). These choices are not meant to twist the world around the main character though, they are just the ideas they get at the time. Occassionally I'll throw a "Create your own choice" option into it. If it wins the vote the plan for the update will be a mix of the best ones.

Anyway onto the actual story part, hopefully it will go alright. Also, it's set around the Gretchin that sits on the base of my Warboss. Named Nippy, simply cause he likes to bite and Bitey doesn't sound as good for a Gretchin.


1

Nippy was woken by the sound of clashing steel and crunching bones. His ears twitced around and in a panick he looked towards the sound ready to run from danger. The sound had been caused by a small fight amongst the boyz. One had been thrown clear through the wall of a shack. Although the crunching sound of bones obviously meant that he had several bones broken he stood up and walked back over to the Ork who had thrown him. He was laughing, but soon stopped when it became clear that a fight was breaking out. Nippy knew what would come next and began to slowly move away before it was too late. "FIIIIIGGGGHHT!!" yelled a passing Boy. He readied his chopper and ran straight for them. He was soon followed by at least a dozen more boyz ready to bash some skulls. Nippy crawled through a small hole in a nearby shack to escape the brawl. "Stoopid orkses.. Alwayz tinks dey da boss cuz dey bigga... Gretchin is cunnin Gretchin shud be da boss" he muttered to himself. He looked around the interior of the shack. Nothing really interesting. The ramshackle building simply had some beds in it and a pile of sharp smashy choppers in the courner. Obviously it was where some boyz slept. Nippy began to think of a way to get back at them for always pushing around the Gretchin. The Gretchin were cunning and he was going to prove it. He tried picking up a chopper but failed, it was too heavy for a single Gretchin. Annoyed, he simply walked out of the other side of the shack. He walked down the dirt path of the Ork camp. The fight had escalated into a brawl consisting of all of the boyz. Nippy flinched at what he saw marching towards him on the road and dove off to the side. The Warboss stomped past with a huge chopper hanging over his shoulder, ready to sort out the boyz. Once he was gone Nippy emerged from his hiding place. He made sure the Warboss wasn't looking, then shook his fist at him. "Dats da stoopidst" said Nippy. He turned and continued to walk, he was looking for the other Gretchin. After walking through the Ork camp for a few more minutes he found them hiding behind the Mek's shop. They were trapped by a small Squig hound.

What will you do?
A. Go into the Mek shop and look for something to bash the Squig with to save the other Gretchin.
B. Run and hide until it's gone.
C. Go into the Mek shop and look for something good while they're gone.

C. Nippy needs to be looking for flashy bitz if he wants to overthrow the orkish hegemony. The other grots won't die in vain!

I'm hoping for lasers or something.

I could make it a poll, but I'm kind of used to the old way. Plus I wouldn't know what one hit the target number first. Feel free to add to the option you're voting for as well, like Lunahound, the_ferrett and Orkeosaurus have. Also by looking at the amount of votes I'm going to change it to 7 votes instead of 3.

C. Go into the Mek shop and look for something good while they're gone.

Nippy thought of saving the other Gretchin from the hound, but remembered it's teeth and quickly scurried into the Mek shop. There were no Orks inside, the walls were covered with various parts looted from the other races as well as various other Ork made parts. There was a single Trukk in the center of the workshop, obviously they had been working on it before the fight broke out. Nippy glanced around the shop looking for something to aide him in his revolution. There was a single Killa Kan in one of the courners, it had only one arm and the main body had been smashed in as if someone had become frustrated with it. Nippy then noticed something shiny, being a Gretchin he rushed towards it. The Shiny thing was a Boltgun, stolen from the Imperium and dumped in the courner because it was considered weedy. Perhaps the Mek might fix it up and make it into a Slugga later, but for now it was just a normal Boltgun. Nippy picked it up and looked at it, it was rediculously oversized, but that might have meant it was all the more powerful. He squeezed the trigger and the recoil flung him backwards into the Trukk. The shells had passed cleanly through the wall and after a small banging sound came the sound of cheering and the scuttling of many little feet coming towards him. Nippy put the gun down and looked through the pile again, eventually he found a Boltgun. "Dis un iz lyke da otha.. Smalla fer da Gretchin!" said Nippy surprised at his find. Comparied to him the Bolt Pistol was as big as a Bolter would have been to a Space Marine. The doors flung open and Nippy span around ready to fire. Standing in the doorway were the same Gretchin he had ignored earlier. "'ere iz da 'ero" said one of the Gretchin. "Wha?" asked Nippy. "U da un dat pop'd da squiggy" said another Gretchin. Nippy realised that he accidently had, and then came to another realisation; he now had Gretchin to boss around.

Nippy smiled and walked forward. "Iz onli a squiggy" said Nippy, proudly. The others surrounded him and he smiled. His revolution could begin.

What will you do?
A. Get the Gretchin to gather more Gretchin
B. Get every one to get into the Trukk and get the hell out of there
C. Get all the Gretchin to get weapons and then go aroun forcing Gretchin to join the revolution or die

B) because i feel C is too obvious and too soon.

I want to see a group of them running off and see how they manage to amass a revolutionary army!

I think I'll go for A).

B) seems like it will end in the trukk failing or them being caught.

C) makes me think that they'll be caught too. If you go about popping Gretchin, you'll get caught.

A) (would I guess could also be C), depends how they go about it)

C

B

A.

gotta B B

B it would be like gorkamorka grots all over again!

B. Get a gretchin on the gun turrett?

I'll go with A. We need to amass a revolutionary vanguard, a group of die hard supporters of the cause who will only run away or betray their leaders if things get somewhat scary, instead of barely scary at all.

Setting up a base of operations away from orkish scrutiny should be on the agenda, but not until we have enough worth setting a camp up for. With the truck gone the orks are likely to become increasingly suspicious of gretchin activity and/or angry and liable to kick them in the faces.

Stealing reclaiming weapons will be helpful, but fancy guns will be useless without decent numbers to back them up, and it's too early in the course of the revolution to attempt to gang-press persuade masses of other grots into supporting us. We need to get a hold of bearings, and come up with some kunnin planz.

A, no C, no B. No, D!!!: press 'call space marine' button!

Changing my vote to B).

B

B.

Get the hell outta there and establish a base of operations. A and C will both end in the revolution ending too soon.

B. Get every one to get into the Trukk and get the hell out of there

"Wot we do now boss?" asked another Gretchin. "We take da Trukk an drives off" replied Nippy. To the Gretchin the Trukk was almost the size of a Battlewagon. One Gretchin jumped into the driver's seat. He could not even see over the wheel. Another Gretchin sat next to the accelerator and the last needed to drive the Trukk sat next to the breaks. Nippy jumped onto the roof, he would point in the direction they should go. The rest piled into the back of the Trukk. It wasn't completed so it didn't have any guns, but it did have a reinforced ram. "Start drivin!" yelled Nippy, the Trukk quickly flew forwards. "Nah go da otha way you stoopid" said Nippy as the Trukk bumped into the wall. The Trukk flew backwards and passed through the wall next to the door way. The shack started to shake and began to fall apart. "Go da otha way! Fast!" yelled Nippy. The wheels of the Trukk span as a Gretchin jumped onto the accelerator, throwing up dirt behind the Trukk. It's engine roaring the Trukk flew forward through a couple more shacks before it managed to almost stay on the road. Nippy, like most Gretchin, didn't know the difference between left and right so he would yell loudly and point in the direction he wanted to go. The driver, not being able to see over the wheel stared up at him. The Trukk swerved all over the road, occassionally cliping a shack or two, and occasionally leveling a shack or two.

Nippy had no idea where they would go, just that they would go. To try to lower the amount of confusion in his crew he gave the other Gretchin names; which worked out well for them as they didn't remeber their old names anyway. The one on the accelerator was named Speedy, the one on the breaks was Fun-Krusha and the one behind the wheel was Wheely-Git. The rest of the Gretchin sat in the back of the Trukk. The occasionaly piece of debris from all the shacks they hit would land in the back. Nippy instructed them not to throw it away unless there was some Orks chasing them.

"Wheres we goin boss?" asked one of the Gretchin amongst the pile in the back. "Dunno.. Maybe us find a new an betta camp. Onli jus for us Gretchin" replied Nippy. "So we jus drivin round till we finds a new Gretchin camp?" asked another Gretchin. Nippy nodded. "Is dere wata dere?" asked another Gretchin. "Nah! Gretchin dun swim" replied Nippy. "So wheres it gonna be?" asked Wheely-Git.

C. Go to the caves

"Not da treez boss, deres too mani big Squiggys dere" said Fun-Krusha. "Wot about da big rokks?" asked Nippy. "Nah too mani flyn Squiggys dere" replied Speedy. "Den we go to da caves" said Nippy. "Deres Squiggys dere too!" shouted Fun-Krusha. "Yep! Small Squiggys dat well smash wif da Trukk" said Nippy. He pointed off to the right and the Trukk quickly swerved over in that direction, almost rolling over. They were now off the road and driving through the wilderness. The Trukk was shaken around a fair bit from all the rocks they ran over. There was an ocassional dead tree, but mostly it was dead grass, sand and rocks.

Nippy was almost thrown off of the Trukk several times because of the terrain. Several Gretchin were thrown out the back and ran behind the Trukk to catch up. Occassionally the Trukk had to be stopped as there usually ended up being more running behind the Trukk then actually in the Trukk. "'old on propa dis time!" yelled Nippy after the Trukk was stopped for the sixth time. The caves were at the base of the nearest mountain. They were close to it now. As they got closer the dead trees bacame more and more frequent. Eventually the Trukk could no longer manage to dodge the trees and instead started ploughing through them. They bounced off of the reinforced ram and flew over the Trukk.

"Fun-Krusha! Stop da Trukk!" yelled Nippy as they arrived at the caves. Fun-Krusha eventaully hit the brakes and the Trukk skidded into the cliff-face next to the cave. "Wot you do dat for you crazy git!" yelled Nippy, he smacked Fun-Krusha over the head with the Bolt Pistol and then jumped out of the Trukk the others followed. Speedy picked up a rock the size of his fist, Wheely-Git picked up the steering wheel, which had been launhed out of the Trukk, and Fun-Krusha rubbed his head and muttered as he followed. The rest of the Gretchin picked up various fragments of the rocks and trees they had fit on the way to the cave. Nippy led them inside the cave. Inside they found a few leftover weapons and supplies from the last battle that took place between the two major tribes of the area. The Gretchin abandoned their current weapons and swarmed over the crates. When they finally managed to get a crate open, Nippy had shot it a few times and they started kicking it, they were surprised to find out that the crate was filled with Lasguns. Nippy dusted off the other boxes and looked at them. "Deres sum sorta winged squiggy on the side of it" said Nippy. One of the Gretchin decided to try out the gun and fired it down the cave. A thin red beam of light shot down the cave as he held the trigger down. It was quickly followed by a roaring sound and then the sounds of footsteps. The Gretchin started running out of the cave. Nippy fired the Bolt Pistol down the cave, the Gretchin stopped to pay attention to him. "Gretchin! We dun always run! Todae we fight for all Gretchin... Gretchin aim Pew-Pews dat way!" said Nippy. The Gretchin stopped and aimed the Lasguns down the cave towards the still unseen enemy. START SHOOTIN!" yelled Nippy, he started firing the Bolt Pistol as well. After a few minutes of shooting the Gretchin stopped. Nippy picked up a piece of wood and grabbed one of the nearby Gretchin's Lasguns. He fired it a few times at the end of the wood, he missed a few times, but when it finally hit the wood caught fire. Nippy used it as a torch and walked down the cave to see what they had been fighting. He came across some Squig corpses, they had been cooked by the constant Lasgun fire. Nippy quickly ran back to the other Gretchin. "Gretchin! Deys were Squiggys" said Nippy. "R dey ded?" asked Wheely-git. "Yea! Deys cookd" said Nippy. "Deys food?" asked Speedy. "Yea!" said Nippy. The Gretchin dropped their weapons and scurried down to the other end of the cave. The small green swarm quickly enveloped and devoured the five Squig corpses. They then returned to the cave enterance, because it is light there and they were afraid of the dark. Nippy looked through the other crates as they opened them. They all contained Imperial Guard equipment, as if they had tried to invade the planet at some point but failed.

The Gretchin put on the Flak vests, helmets and shoulder pads.

What will you do?
A. Try to get some more Gretchin from the more smaller tribes nearby
B. Explore the cave some more
C. Create your own choice

B. If so much equipment was stashed near the cave entrance I would want to further explore the caves reaches, and not only look for the source of the squig infestation but also to gauge if the imperials had hidden anything deeper within the cave.

A.

C

they should go and find a

Seconded. B.

B, this cave seems both exciting and dangerous. That's my kind of cave.

C: A then B, then find some moutain forest caves!!!

I'm all about getting some sort of flamer and dragging it out to take care of it from afar. I vote A!

Alright, that's enough. Quit trolling or get out.

I vote B. With more shiny gubbinz we can subsequently lure more Grotz to join us.

I vote C: Fly a roflcopter to Germany. It just makes sense.

Looking over how the votes seem to go from the last update and the current update. I'm going to change the votes needed down to five instead of 7.

Currently all of the options are at 4.

You were just waiting for that

A. Try to get some more Gretchin from the more smaller tribes nearby

"Alright you Gretchins! Dere might be more squiggys in da cave.. So wes gunna gets moar Gretchins" said Nippy. The other Gretchin looked around the cave with their Lasguns raised. "To da Trukk!" yelled Nippy. The Gretchin quickly scurried out of the cave and towards the Trukk. "Da Trukk is broke" said Fun-Krusha, living up to his name. "Nah Wheely-Git jus needz ta put da round gubbin back den da Trukk is fixd" replied Nippy, he hit Fun-Krusha in the back of the head again. Wheely-Git bashed the wheel into place and started the Trukk's engine. Fun-Krusha, Speedy and Wheely got back into the same places they were before. The rest of the Gretchin piled into the back with their Lasguns ready. The Trukk zoomed backwards from the cliff face, flinging dirt and rocks. It went through a tree then started to move forwards. There were several small nearby Ork tribes. None of them could pose much of a threat to the tribe Nippy and the others had come from, but if it became time for a Waaaghh they would be absorbed by the bigger tribes. None of the Gretchin were old enough to actually have seen the last one, but it ended on the current planet they were on. The planet used to be a thriving Imperial Agri-World in a small system on the edge of the galaxy. It was unlucky enough to be the closest system when a 'ulk was spat out of the warp. The waaaghh had claimed a couple of systems before it, but this was the last one it visited. It mostly ended out of disappointment. Only a couple of the planets in the system were actually claimed by the Imperium and even those were small. Neither of them had a large enough army to keep the fight going for long and the Waaaghh was left at a dead end system, their only means of getting to another system, the 'ulk, smashed into the current planet.

They arrived at the first of the small camps. The Orks there scratched their heads as they saw the Trukk past them, a few started laughing. But, they were lucky. The Orks thought of them as being too weedy and left them alone. The Gretchin of the tribe there saw how they were ignored by the Orks and approached them. "Gretchins! Wez 'ere to take you wif us! Joins da Gretchin Revalushun!" yelled Nippy. The Gretchin scratched their heads. "Hu are you den?" asked one of the Gretchin. "'es da un dat smashd da squiggys an savd us" said Speedy. The Gretchin though about it for a second and quickly jumped into the back of the Trukk, given the choice between running off with strangers that may kill them and staying with Orks they know that will kill them they decided fairly quickly. The Trukk quickly turned around and headed back towards the cave which was on the way to the other tribe. "Wez stopp at da cave an get you lot sum Pew-Pews an sum 'ard ragz" said Nippy. "U mean da stuff dat da otha Gretchins 'ere got?" asked one of the new Gretchin. "Yep" replied Nippy. Including the new Gretchin they got they now had around 28.

They arrived back at the cave, but stopped at it better then they did the last time. Fun-Krusha still got hit as he kept hitting the brakes everytime he thought they were there. The Gretchin piled out and swarmed over the crates. The new Gretchin quickly got their new equipment and piled back into the Trukk. They sped off towards the other tribe. It was around the same size as the other tribe, but they had to cross a bridge on the way. Once they got there they found that a few Orks had taken over the bridge and set up a toll. None of the Gretchin had any teeth that would be worth anything to the Orks so their options were fairly limited. The toll booth was set up with a ramshackle wall across the bridge.

What will you do?
A. Just drive though the toll booth and continue
B. Shoot at them with the Lasguns
C. Create your own choice

C: A loose grot rokkit of the local mek crash into the toll booth, with a bomb squig chasing after it, and Nippy saves the grot rokkit pilot and makes for the nearby tribe with a bomb squig chasing them

Of course. You know me well enough.

C. Somehow flood the river briefly to wash away the orks on it.

C I join with da squig herder

B. Leave no witnesses.

B!

How does C. work if multiple people choose it, but specify different actions?

C: Assault them in close combat.

Pika_power wrote:How does C. work if multiple people choose it, but specify different actions?

I mix the best parts of all of them together.

Also these options are meant to reflect the ideas that come to mind at the time, so saying something like "a giant rock falls out of the sky and smashes the bad guys" probably won;t do anything; as they can think about it but that doesn't mean it will just happen

C: Run over the orks with the trukk!

B.

C , B, C, A

C = hide da trukk
B = have some gretchin pew pew the orks and run
C = return to da trukk and make for the bridge
A = smash the "wall"

B, then, A.... soften them up with the pewpews and then charge.

Going to change the voting again after this update (I know it's happened a fair bit) anyway I guess it would be better if I just change it to a majority rather than just a set amount. So now I'll just update it when I feel like it using the majority, but to keep it a bit more interesting if any option makes it to 10 in one voting phase will automatically become the one that will be used.

C. Get a Grot Rokkit and use it to try to flood the river then run over and bash any that might be left

"Wot we do nao boss?" asked Fun-Krusha. "We needs us big sploshun" said Nippy. "Big smashy sploshun?" asked Speedy. "Yea.. U kno where iz un?" asked Nippy. "Wot bout goin bak to da camp.. I thik I seen un dere boss" said one of the new Gretchin. "Right! Goes bak to da camp an snatch us up a sploshun" said Nippy. The Trukk quickly turned around and sped back towards the camp they had just come from. "Oi boss wot doez dis do?" asked one of the Gretchin. Nippy turned around to see what they were talking about. A few of the Gretchin had brought some Imperial Missile Launchers onto the Trukk. "Wha?" asked Nippy. "Wes fownd dem in da bawkses an dey looked liek big Choppas" said one of the Gretchin. "Pass it ere" said Nippy. He looked over and noticed that it had a trigger like the Bolt Pistol, he pulled the trigger and it launched a missile towards the nearby trees they were passing and blew them apart. The Trukk was covered with flying debris and dirt. The Gretchin started panicking. Nippy started laughing and directed Wheely-Git back towards the bridge. While they were driving there Nippy continued to fire the missile launcher in random directions. It had to rest upside-down on the roof fo the Trukk and each shot almost launched Nippy backwards off of the roof, but he would laugh after every explosion.

As they approached the bridge Nippy aimed at it and started firing continually, one shot lauched him off of the roof with the Missile Launcher. He stood up and jammed the Missile Launcher into the Trukk so it pointed forwards and could turn, but it was no longer thrown back by recoil. Nippy pulled the trigger over an over again, firing dozens of missiles towards the bridge. Few hit, but one finally did and it blew a hole clear through the wall that the Orks had set up. The Trukk drove right through the remains of the toll a few Orks tried to stop them but they were run over by the Trukk. One Boy, however, managed to grab onto the back of the Trukk and climbed into the back. He laughed at the Gretchin, but was outnumbered and the Gretchin ripped him apart and celebrated their victory. The Ork's head bounced down the road followed by his body, arms and legs.

The Trukk arrived at the other camp soon after ploughing through the toll. It looked as if the camp was dominated by Meks as it was surrounded by a fairly large metal fence and the buildings were a little better than the buildings from the camp Nippy had come from. The Trukk bounced off the wall and span before coming to a stop. Nippy was flung off of the top and landed on his head. The Missile Launcher was launched high into the air and flew over the fence. Nippy stood back up and rubbed his head. There were a few Orks with Shootas standing up on platforms built onto the wall, they laughed at the Gretchin's misfortune and continued to watch. Their Shootas, weren't raised though and they seemed to not see them as a threat at all.

What will you do?
A. Thump at the wall until some Orks come out to see what's going on
B. Aim the Lasguns at the wall and hold down the trigger until a hole is made for them to scurry through
C. Give up on the Gretchin inside
D. Create your own choice

First A, then when the orks come out you kill them.

D kill the sentries then go throught "THE GATE"
and kill the orks and rescue the gretchin

D: Shoot the Orks on the wall, then B to break in.

B

D: Dig, cue great escape music, dig under the wall, pop up in the deffcoptas section and rescue the other gretchen and blow da place up.

D: shoot sentries, use gate. As said, simple and effective.

A

D: Trick the Orks into opening the gate, then charge in with the Trukk and run 'em over. Get the Grotz and RUN... or maybe try to steal some Kanz?

D. Burn a hole, sneak in and try to hijack a Killa Kan suit.

D: My own choice is E!

D:

Nippy looked at the guards standing on top of the wall. He suddenly got an idea. "Start shooten da door" said Nippy. The Lasgun shots seemed to do no damage at all but the Gretchin continued to fire at it. The Orks laughed at the Gretchin's attempt to break through their wall. "U lot stop! Start shooten da Orkses" said Nippy. The Orks continued their laughing, many had dropped their Shootas and after a few lucky Lasgun shots they fell off the wall and landed with a loud thump next to the hoard of Gretchin. After a while and a few more dead Orks the gates flew open. a Big Mek who towered over them stomped out of the camp. He was covered with Cybork parts, his steps had a loud mechanical thump. Although his lower jaw was entirly mechanical and he only had one natural eye left, the Gretchin could see the evil in his smile. He raised his right arm to reveal several Shootas attached to it. The Gretchin started firing at Big Mek, but the Lasgun shots reflected off the Cybork parts and he laughed as he launched shot after shot into the green hoard. A few Gretchin were killed, the rest scurried to the Trukk and began climbing onto it. Nippy heard the engine start and turned to run to it only to see it speed off into the distance. Only Speedy and Wheely-git stayed behind. The Trukk started to disappear into the distance, but was suddenly hit with a Rokkit and reduced to a pile of burning debris. They turned around to face the Big Mek again, only to find a cage landing over the top of them. Luckily the Orks had no idea what they were really doing so they would not be killed straight away.

Nippy awoke the next day to find that he, Speedy and Wheely-git were still alive and in the cage. Althogh the cage seemed to now be in a Mek's shop, although there would be many in the camp so that really didn't help them figure out where they were. A couple of Gretchin walked into the room and placed some food and water into the cage before quickly walking out of the room again trying to avoid eye contact with the caged Gretchin. "Now wot boss?" asked Wheely-git. "Dun Knoe" replied Nippy. He grabbed the door of the cage and tried to shake it open, it barely moved at all. He picked up some food walked over into the courner and began to eat.

What will you do?
A. Wait for someone to open the cage and then jump out at them and scratch and bite their face
B. Ram the cage door with the others until it opens
C. Try to get the other Gretchin to help the next time they show up

"Howz we gunna opens da door?" asked Speedy. "Dun knoe. Maybe da ova Gretchins will elps us wen dey get bak" replied Nippy. "How?" asked Wheely-git. "We tellz dem we givez dem shinys if dey elps us Gretchins" replied Nippy. The three continued to bash on the rusty cage door anyway, just in case they could break it open anyway. A few minutes of bashing later an Ork boy walked into the room. "Oi! Weedy gits, quiet or youz getten stomped" yelled the Ork, kicking the side of the cage, the Gretchin stopped and sat quietly in the courner. The ork stomped out of the room. A few seconds later a couple of Gretchin scurried into the room. "Youz ok?" asked one of the Gretchin. "Yeh, deys just kik da cage" replied Nippy. "Wez gunna get youz outta da cage" said the other Gretchin. "We wants ta smash all da Orkes" said the first Gretchin. "We's lukky" said Nippy. The two Gretchin scurried out of the room, only to reappear a couple of minutes later with roughly 50 Gretchin. Each carrying a sharp object. A few of them even had some of the Mek's cutting tools and quickly cut off the door of the cage. "Thankz Gretchins! We's gunna be da nu boss! Da Orkes ar gunna be da slavez of da Gretchins! We'z will kik dem an laff at dem fer bein stoopid den we's tellz dem ta do stuffs fer us!" said Nippy. The Gretchin cheered and followed Nippy out of the room. Hardly subtle anymore the Gretchin would have to come up with a plan quickly to get out of the Mek camp and back to the supply cave, hopefully there would still be enough equipment there for them. As much of the Equipment had been lost when Fun-Krusha had betrayed them and fled.

What will you do?
A. Grab a Battlewagon and get out of the camp
B. Get a Trukk and get out of the camp
C. Get a Wartrakk and get out of the camp

Come on, at least make more than one option viable.

A

I did, I wouldn't put three options that would end up in a game over. They don't really have a choice besides just trying to run out of the camp, but I didn't put that as they wouldn't get far before dieing.

Yeah, I understand that, but all three are transports, and the hierarchy of them is Battlewagon>Trukk>Wartrakk, so the battlewagon is the obvious choice.

May I suggest mixing it up a bit next time? Give the choices of trying to hijack some Kans, or perhaps some Stormboy jetpacks. Perhaps let them make the workshop a stronghold and set up big guns at the door.

Just my two cents.

Alright then, I will mix it up a fair bit more from now on then. This one was, but fairly subtly.

C on the proviso they steal more than 1.

It's fastest, Gretchin sized, and might even come with rokkits (mmm, bs3)

Does the BW come with a Killkannon?

Nope standard Battlewagon with a Deff Rolla.

Deffrolla, even better.

C no warbass is going to let a Gretchin get away with stealing a battle wagon.

A! Gretchin + DeffRolla + DeffOrGlory = messy fun!

No Warboss is going to survive getting hit by a Battlewagon unless he possesses unusually large levels of GAR.

A - 6
B - 0
C - 6

One more vote to go. But, the update won't come before tomorrow.

Someone, please vote for the Battlewagon, do you really want a Wartrakk over a Dethrolla?

Seconding a vote for the battlewagon. An army needs a tank, not a moped.

Errr changing my vote. A

n0t_u, could you use some sort of deadline method to determine which option gets picked? I'm loving the story (and the concept) it just takes ages for people to post their choices and I really want to read the next bit .

Also, A as I'm getting an awesome mental image of a load of gretchin hanging on for dear life and knocking down loads of orks.

Well it really comes down to when I think I can write it well enough. Theres no drafts at all, just what I post. So if I think it's not going to be good enough I don't post it

A. Grab a Battlewagon and get out of the camp

The Gretchin swarm managed to pass through a large area of the camp with little more than the odd verbal insult from the occasional Ork they passed. When it had actually came to coming up with a plan, the Gretchin simply went with the first good plan they came up with; avoid the big smashy stuff and look for a Trukk. Nippy led the swarm with his Bolt Pistol, followed closely by Speedy and Wheely-Git. They were the few Gretchin left with Flak armour and Lasguns. Thee rest had a bunch of sharp objects they came across as they went. If an Ork tried to smash them, and Nippy managed to convince the Gretchin not to flee, they woud likely rip the Ork apart. Eventually after about an hour of runing in no real direction, they came across the biggest Mek Shop there. They seeped through the small cracks and holes in the wall like water. Once inside they were lucky enough to find that for some reason thre were no guards. A wall was covered with various large metal drums. When they moved closer they realised that one of the drums was actually snoring.

They dragged the random scrap that had piled up around the drums and discovered it had arms and legs. They had found a Killa Kan. Nippy climbed up the side of the can and tried to look in through a small viewing hole in the front. He knocked on it a few times and the Killa Kan jerked into conciousness. It quickly turned and ran screaming as it went. Eventually it found a courner and crouched down in it shaking. Nippy walked up to the frightened can. "Oi wotz rong?" asked Nippy. The Killa Kan didn't reply, but had turned to face Nippy. It's shaking had stopped. "Dun worry! Wez Gretchins iz gonna be da boss" said Nippy. "Wot?" repied the Kan, it's voice echoed metallically. "Wez gunna smashes dem den deyz gunna lissen to da Gretchins ordas" relied Nippy. The Killa Kan slowly stood up to full height. "Wez gonna need a big smashy thin den" said the Kan. "Wez needs a Trukk furst" said Nippy.

"Den wes takes da Big Trukk wif da smashy thin on da front" said the Killa Kan. "Were iz it?" asked Nippy. "I taekz yooz dere! But onli if yooz taekz me wif yoo" replied the Killa Kan, obviously not used to being a Killa Kan yet. "Alright! Wotz ya name?" asked Nippy. "Dun know wot ma name iz" replied the Kan. "Let call 'im Smashy Kan" yelled out Speedy. "Datz a gud name" said Smashy Kan.

They walked through the Mek shop, following Smashy. The quiet sound of the Gretchin's feet hitting the metal completely drowned out with their voices by the loud metallic thuding of the Killa Kan's foot steps. It was easily the height of six to ten Gretchin. Both arms ended with a large circular saw. It was amazing that no Orks had found them yet. Their absense left the Gretchin feeling uneasy, they flinched at each courner half expecting some Orks to be standing there with smiles on their faces and Choppas in their hands. After a few twisting hallway they came to a large open room. Inside was a variety of Ork vehicles. Bikes, Deff Koptas, War Trakks, Trukks, Deff Dreads, Killa Kans, Battlewagons. All at different stages of construction. The Bikes, Deff Koptas, Deff Dreads and Killa Kans were little more than the starting of their chasis. The rest were more closer to completion. But, the swarm was already heading to the Battalewagon.

On the front of it was a Deff Rolla on the back, the starting of a roof. It looked like they were in the middle of giving it a closed compartment. The Gretchin quickly climbed into the back of the Battlewagon. Nippy, Wheely-Git and Speedy headed to the driver's compartment. There they found a large Mek. Sleeping soundly in the driver's seat. Covered in Mega armour, he held the wheel and was steering it in his sleep making engine sounds from time to time. The opposite wall looked like it had been repaired recently. Smashy pushed his saw through the widow. Blood flew around the driver's compartment and sprayed out the windows as the Mek was woken to the sound of the Kan's circular saw. He yelled in pain, but was soon quiet. Nippy opened the door and Smashy pushed him out. Speedy and Wheely-Git got into their posititions. Wheely-Git behind the wheel watching for Nippy's directions. Speedy was on the acelerator pedal, but with Fun-Krusha abandoning them they had to get a new Gretchin to use the brakes. He was quicly named Fun-Krusha 2. Smashy climbed into the back of the Battlewagon, the Gretchin running to avoid being crushed. Nippy was standing on the dashboard, with a nod the engine was started and the wagon flew through the wall.

They quickly grabbed the attention of the Orks after the sped right over a brand new Deff Dread out for it's first stroll. They were now being chashed by two Trukks and about three Wartrakks.

What will you do?
A. Stop the Battlewagon and watch them bounce off the back
B. Speed up and get back to the cave
C. Turn around and run over them

C. Turn around and run over them

Nippy smiled. "Oi Wheely-Git! Smash em!" yelled Nippy. He laughed as the Battlewagon spun around to face the Orks chasing them. The Battlewagon flew forwards, the Deff Rolla throwing up chunks of ground as they went. The first Wartrakk went under the Battlewagon, with little more than a slight bump. The spikes on the Deff Rolla smashing the driver and pasengers, their faces showing their shock shortly before they were ripped apart. The Wartrakk was perforated, it's chared, warped and twisted carcass flew out behind the Battlewagon in chunks. The other two swerved to the sides to avoid the Deff Rolla. But, they were soon stopped as the arms of the Killa Kan, Smashy, poked out the sides. Saws spinning they cut through the Wartrakks ripping them apart.

The Trukks drove up beside the Battlewagon, staying cautious of the Killa Kan. The Battlewagon started changing it's speed to avoid the boarding planks. Nippy fired his Bolt Pistol wildly in their direction. One bolt caught an Ork in the head as he was lowering the boarding plank. His head exploded spraying the others with chunks of bone and brain. His body fell hanging onto the boarding plank. The Battlewagon slowed down a bit for the upcoming courner. The Trukk's boarding plank caught on the Deff Rolla and it span left in front of the Battlewagon. Soon after, it passed under the Deff Rolla, it's crushed form slid to a stop behind them. Only two Trukks were left now, they were no longer using their boarding planks.

Instead they started trying to bash at the sides of the Battlewagon. Smashy's arms swung wildly out the sides of the Battlewagon as he tried to deal with the Trukks. Nippy continued to fire his Bolt Pistol at the Trukks. His shots either missed completely or embeded themselves in the Trukk. Unfortunately none of the bolts expoded near any vunerable parts. Fun-Krusha 2 hit the brakes. The Battlewagon skidded to a stop and one of the Trukks smashed into the back. It's frame weaked by the bolts, it's engine caved in and the Orks were launched into the arms of Smashy. Laughing, Fun-Krusha 2 got off the brakes and the Battlewagon flew forwards. It's rear track flung dirt and rocks behind it as it sped up. The other Trukk had sped past them and circled around. Now it was in the path of the Deff Rolla and franticly trying to avoid passing underneath it. The Battlewagon turned left and passed through the main gate. The Orks in the Trukk laughing and mocking the Gretchin. However they weren't paying attention to where they were going and the Trukk smashed into the wall. The speed crushed it and launched the Orks out at the wall. Not all of them died, but they had no way to follow them anyway.

As the Battlewagon sped to the cave Nippy and the other Gretchin noticed something happening in the sky. They stopped the Battlewagon and looked to the sky in awe. Streams of orange were falling from the sky. "Wot iz dat boss?" asked Speedy. "I dun knoe..." replied Nippy. The stars continued to fall, the Gretchin watching.

What will you do?
A. Just go back to the cave
B. Go and try to find some of the shooting stars
C. Create your own choice

C: Drop pod? Time to work out an escape root ... any one know how to build a rocket?

A. need to restock

B.

A. Just go back to the cave

Nippy continued to watch the shooting stars in awe with the rest of the Gretchin. But, they somehow gave him an uneasy feeling. Listening to his Gretchin instincts he quickly snapped everyone out of their trance. "I dun leik dem. Lets get bak to da kave" said Nippy. "I think dey looks liek prettys" said Fun-Krusha 2. "Yeh dey doez, but dey jus seems liek deys bad fer us Gretchins" replied Nippy. The other Gretchins ears flicked at this. "You means deys gonna smash us?" asked one of the Gretchin. "Maybe" replied Nippy. That was enough motivation for the Battlewagon to fly forwards back towards the camp. However Nippy knew that the new Gretchin wouldn't simply walk right into the cave without being terrified of ever little shadow in there. If they were lucky there would be enough equipment for them all, if not there was definitely plenty of rocks.

Nippy stared in amazement at what he saw infront of him. "Oi Fun-Krusha! Stomp on dem braeks!" yelled Nippy. The wheels locked and the Battlewagon continued to slide forward throwing dirt and rocks past them. The Gretchin started to worry bout what it is that made them stop, Nippy and Wheely-Git weren't so lucky. Just in front of them, hiding in a ditch, was a small group of Gretchin. Nippy recognized them as they wore Flak armour and had Lasguns. They were the group that he thought they had lost with Fun-Krusha the traitor, who to no surprise was right there. The other Gretchin in the ditch stopped worrying and approached the Battlewagon once they saw Nippy walking towards them. Fun-Krusha however remained in the ditch, shaking. He knew that Nippy would be mad at him. Instead, Nippy lead the other Gretchin to the Battlewagon and calmly walked up to Fun-Krusha. Nippy took Fun-Krusha's Flak armour and Lasgun, dropped a rock nearby and walked back to the Battlewagon.

Fun-Krusha ran towards the Battlewagon as it started to move. Throwing rocks and dirt behind it as it went, he coninued to run behind it.

What will you do?
A. Forgive Fun-Krusha
B. Leave Fun-Krusha
C. Return to Fun-Krusha and execute him with the Bolt Pistol

A. Every Village needs a git.

C

(C) ... no wait (D) ... hit reverse

A.

A, but then send him and anyone else disloyal on a suicide mission (when appropriate, make it like a wild card you can use any time)

Sort of A .

I want them to forgive him , but only becouse I want them to get him for sacrifice later to the shiny stars

So my votes on A

A, like Whoop said, "every village needs a Git"

Besides they can use him as an ammo runt.

a

a

Thats 7 votes for A, Fun-Crusha is forgiven, and the benevolence of Nippy has been bestowed upon him.

I was half expecting everyone to want him to come back and execute him
12
A. Forgive Fun-Krusha

Nippy watched as Fun-Krusha ran behind the Battlewagon, amongst a large cloud of dust. He tried to remember the good times, realising there were none he decided to at least try to get his revenge in a better way than mearly abandoning the lone Gretchin in the wilderness.

Nippy signalled to Fun-Krusha 2, obviously they would need to change a name or two, and the Battlewagon slid to a stop. The Deff Rolla trowing up more dirt. Nippy realised it threw more dirt around the place than the Trukk ever did, he enjoyed it though as he thought it made it look faster.
Fun-Krusha caught up to the Battlewagon, exhausted, he panted loudly as he weakly scrambled into the back of the Battlewagon.

"Nippy.. I is sorry" said Fun-Krusha in between breaths. "You needs a nu naem nao. Wez alredi has a Fun-Krusha" replied Nippy from the driver's compartment. His little Gretchin head stuck out from a small window in the back. Fun-Krusha could see the annoyance in his face. "Youz nu naem iz Bukkit-ead" said Nippy. Bukkit-ed just sat there in confusion, he opened his mouth to ask what Nippy meant. But, was quickly silenced by the mettalic thud of a metal bucet being slammed down on his head. "I kant seez" yelled Bukkit-ead. The bucket was yanked off his head and two holes were punched in by Nippy's Boltpistol, then Smashy cut a mouth hole with one of his saws. The bucket was slammed back onto his head. "You can neva taek dt bukkit off yer ead eva" said Nippy. "Why?" replied Bukkit-ead, his voice had a slight metalic ring to it. "If you doez, youz get smashed by me or by Smashy ova dere" replied Nippy. "Hu'z Smashy?" asked Bukkit-ead. "Da big stompy kan bak dere" replied Nippy. Smashy waved with one of his saws. Bukkit-ead gulped and then nodded in agreement to Nippy. "Good! We'z goin nao" said Nippy the Battlewagon flew forwards.

The continued down the dusty road towards the cave, the shooting stars were starting to disappear now. When they arrived back at the cave they managed to finally not just plow into the wall, but actually stop before hitting it. Nippy ordered the group out and they all followed him into the cave. The older Gretchin that had been with Bukkit-ead were relieved and seemed glad to be back in their small little cave. The others, however, bunched up and walked slowly into the cave, shaking as they went.

The crates had enough equipment in them for the new Gretchin, and by the looks of it at least 50 more. Nippy was glad, pew pews were fun to use. Once the other Gretchin had calmed down and put on their new gear, they walked further into the cave to explore it. They found a couple humies made of some sort of white sticks wearins some armour and laying around on the ground. Eventually they came to a big open room, inside was a large metal box with wheels and a big tube coming off the front of it. The Imperial Guard knew it as the Leman Russ Battle Tank, but the Gretchin had no idea what the hell it was. It was rusted in it's place, it seemed like it had been sitting around without being used for too long. Nippy opened the top hatch and climbed inside to look round. There were many buttons and switches, so Nippy decided to just mash them until something happened. The inside lights turned on and so did the outside lights. The engine started, but made a terrifying and high pitched grinding sound before making a loud thud and the sound of several chunks of metal being thrown at each other. The sound of it's engine dieing echoed through the whole cave. It looked like it was going no where, but just then something caught Nippy's eye. A small flash of silver over in the courner.

Nippy walked over to it to see what it was. It was mostly covered by a coat, but there was a small part of it still revealed. Nippy threw the cloak off and revealed a Plasma Pistol. It was decorated to the point it could be considered a relic and highly polished, dispite probably sitting around for the last 50 or so years, it looked brand new. Nippy picked up his prize and emerged from the Leman Russ with it above his head. The other Gretchin stared in awe at it. Nippy looked over it and accidentally pulled the trigger. The whole cave glew bright blue for a second as the hot plasma flew out of the gun and passed through the old Leman Russ' hull. The blue glow was replaced by the dull orange glow of hot metal. Nippy was amazed at his new weapon, but it now felt warm to the touch, the het that had come from it's single shot was pretty intense as well. He decided that he would keep it, but only use it sometimes as he still liked his Bolt Pistol.

Nippy jumped down from the Leman Russ and joined the others they waked back to the cave enterance. The Plasma Pistol had been named; Da Gretchinz Powa . Nippy couldn't find any room to write it on the side because of all the Imperial decorations, another obstacle being he couldn't actully read or write anyway. For short they simply called it Da Powa. They arrived at the cave entrance to hear a loud explosion. Looking to their left they noticed that there was smoke coming up from the Mek camp they had just left.

The Gretchins flinched at the sight of thick black smoke rising through the air. The camp had obviously been destroyed or at least heavily damaged, but by what. The Gretchin simply didn't know, but more importantly didn't want to know. They jumped into the back of the Battlewagon, Smashy clumsily dropped a few supply crates into the back, grabing them with both saws and struggling not to drop them on the way to the Battlewagon.

Nippy, Wheely-git, Speedy and Fun-Krusha 2 jumped into the driver's compartment and the wagon's engine started with a roar. It flew backwards and then turned to face away from the smoke. It sped away from it as fast as it could. The Gretchin would have to find a new base now.
There was a loud roaring sound coming from above them. The Gretchin looked up to see a large mettalic bird thing heading towards the camp. It didn't seem like it had seen them, they figured if it did it would probably turn around and start attacking them. They just continued driving away not wanting to find out what the large metal bird was. It slowly got closer to the ground in the distance.

As they continued to drive they passed a funny looking shack. All five of it's walls had fallen down, it had a bunch of chairs inside it and a small weak looking shoota followed them. It fired continually at the Battlewagon as they passed, but the shots just bounced off the armour. The Gretchin didn't really know what to think. Even though it had seats and a magic shoota that worked by itself, a shack without walls still seemed kind of dumb. They heard the sounds of an Ork fight in the background. Lots of shouts of "beakies". The Gretchin had no idea what it meant, but by the sounds of the fighting they might be strong.

What will you do?
A. Go look at the fight
B. Go back to the shack and mess with it
C. Create your own choice

C, go help in the fight.

Sorry, double post.

B

B

C: deffroll the drop pod and then steal the storm bolter... Ok you may destroy the machine spirit so it wont shoot on its own but less likely to be shot in the face

B. Just because the walls fell down doesn't mean it can't be 'grotted' up.

c get smashy to block the fire then grots run behind and mess about with the electrics

B. Go back to the shack and mess with it

Wanting to find somewhere safer to hide the Battlewagon swung around and headed back to the strange shack they passed. once they arrived back at it, it's fancy shoota started firing relentlessly at the Battlewagon, the shots bouncing off of it's front like rain drops. Nippy pointed at Smashy. "Tin guy, go an smash dat shoota" ordered Nippy. Smashy jumped out of the back of the wagon, landing with a loud thump. He slowy marched towards it through the crater it's arrival had caused. The shots reflected off the armour in a rain of sparks. All of them not even denting the Kan's armour, but still scratching the paint. Smashy stomped up one of the fallen walls and his saw began to spin. It sliced through the shoota several times. Now safer, the Gretchin climbed out of the wagon and headed for their temporary hiding place. Perhaps they might figure out how to attach it to the wagon, but being Gretchin it was extremely unlikely that would happen. Smashy ripped out half of the chairs so as to fit his large metal body into the shack. The others managed to fit rather well in the shack, the chairs were huge almost able to hold eleven Gretchin.

The less fortunate group of Gretchin, Bukkit-ead included, would have to sit on the floor. Never getting to see how comfortable the chairs are. Nippy noticed something to one side in the shack though; flashing buttons. Their bright colours were enough to tempt him to press them at random, but they were the kind that blinked on and off. They grabbed the Gretchin's attention even more.

What will you do?
A. Press the buttons!
B. Don't press the buttons, bright suddenly flashing lights are scary

A: Always press buttons

A. Press the buttons!

Nippy struggled to fight the button. The other Gretchin staring blankly at the flashing lights. Nippy quickly gave up though, no Gretchin could fight one of their main instincts; shiny stuff is good.
He started pressing random buttons, then started pressing them faster and faster. Eventually the buttons stopped flashing and a small screen near them turned on, it displayed an outside view of the area around them. Without warning the walls flew up and slammed shut. It was dark at first, but small lights blinked to life. The small screen, their only view of the outside world.

The Gretchin panicked as the shack began to give out a loud roar. Then it started to shake, the screen showing dust and rocks flying away. Next came a feeling that the Gretchin only knew as being thrown, upwards. The screen showed the ground and the Battlewagon getting smaller and smaller. This only made the Gretchin panic more.

After a while the force becme less and less until they were drifting smoothly. The screen showing a black sky filled with many fires. The Gretchin piled around the screen staring in awe at what they saw. Their smooth trip was shortly interrupted by a loud thump acompanying a quick and violent shake. The screen showed them moving into a large metal shack. Once inside the screen showed only metal stuff around, too clean for Orks. Then suddenly, humies showed up. "Crap! Humies, an wif dem Cybork stuffs them Nobz iz alwayz talkn bout" said Nippy. "How mani?" asked Fun-krusha. "Lotz" replied Nippy, sadly. Some of the Gretchin began to cry. They knew that these were the biggest stompiest humies around because they had replaced their arms with huge Power Klaws. Nippy breathed deeply and tried to think of a plan.

What will you do?
A. Fight them
B. Hide from them
C. Press more buttons and hope to get out of there

C. Press more buttons and hope to get out of there

It didn't take long for thinking time to become panic time. The Gretchin flew around the pod clawing at every little crack on the wall. Several started bashing buttons along with Nippy. The pod's engines started up again and it let out a deafening roar as it shook violently in place. The screen showed that they weren't going anywere. The Gretchin gave up their attempts of fleeing, it was useless, they accepted that they would likely be stomped into the ground in a few moments. The humies walked up to the pod, with the same expressionless faces. One tapped the side a few times quickly and the doors opened. The Gretchin ran out of the pod screaming but the humies didn't chase them. Nippy turned around to see what was happening.

"Maintenance protocol 938638473 active. Statis report in 384 seconds" said one of the humies, his voice was dull and emotionless. "Acknowledged. Awaiting statis report" replied the second humie standing off to the side, his voice equally dull and emotionless. "Wots dis den?" asked Nippy. The other Gretchin shugged. "Drop Pod number 28 pattern mark 3.84. manufactured on Forge World Maginus. M39.998. Assigned to Codex Astartes Space Marine Chapter Silver Blades, Company 4. Assigned to Captain Zacharie and acompanying retinue" replied one of the humies. The Gretchin lookd surpirsed at this, Nippy smiled.

"Wot is a spese mahrien?" asked Nippy. "Defender of the Imperium" replied the humie.

What will you do?
A. Ask where the other Space Marines are
B. Take command of the ship

B. Take command of the ship

"Whoz ship iz dis?" asked Nippy. "It belongs to the Space Marines under your command, Captain Zacharie" replied the Servitor. "Wot?" asked Nippy. "You must be Captain Zacharie otherwise you would not have returned in his Drop Pod" replied the obiviously broken Servitor. "Is der any otha spese mahriens ere?" asked Nippy. "There might be a couple" replied the Servitor. "Dey shuld be on da grond fightin, sends da rest" said Nippy. The Servitor nodded and then sped off. Moments later more Drop Pods took off. Nippy and the others were at first surpirsed by it, but then started to laugh at how dumb these new enemies where. The Gretchin began exploring the ship. It was big dark and empty, the Gretchin were afraid, but the decorations around the place offered enough hiding places for them. Their wandering around eventually made them familiar with the ships layout the Cybork humies mostly gathered in the big loud and hot room towards the back. None of the Gretchin could read so they had no idea what it was called until they were told by a nearby servitor. "Wot is a N-Jin ruem?" asked Nippy as they were walking along an empty coridor. 'Maybe itz wer dey keeps all da N-Jins" said Speedy. "Didn da Big Mek say dat da trukks needs an N-Jin ta go?" asked Wheely-git. "Doz you has an N-Jin Smasshy?" asked Nippy. "Dun Knoe" replied Smashy.

They continued to walk and eventually came to the hanger. It had smaller ships in it that looked like they might be easier for the Gretchins to take over and keep contorl of.

What will you do?
A. Take the smaller ship and leave
B. Keep the big ship

The Gretchin continued to stare at the ships spread around the hanger most were gone but for some reason there were around two left. Perhaps losses had reduced their number and thus required less to be used or they cycled them out for repairs. This of course was too complex for a Gretchin's form of thinking. They just saw that these ships were kind of shiney and that they looked nice so maybe they go bang nice as well. Serching for some buttons of some sort as they seemd to be fun the Gretchin began their search around the hanger. Eventually coming to a bunch of blinking lights and a magical square with bright pictures made of light on it. Nippy moved them asside, if he could read he would notice that they had just found the controls to the magnetic clamps holding the ships in place. Not that he would even understand what those were.

Nippy turned to face the others, a speech forming in his little head.
"Alright you lot. I' gonna git dese ulks smashin da grond ta show da orkses dat we'z gunna crush dem an dat dey shuld ave neva messeded wif da Gretchins" declared Nippy quite proudly. A few Gretchin clapped, others seemed extremely excited about the idea of Orks being smashed from th sky. Nippy turned back to the control pannel and began bashing the buttons at random. Before long the room was filled with flashing red lights and bad sounds. The Gretchin knew the sirens were bad simply because they were really loud and had flashing red lights. They scurried back for the door and quickly dove through it. Bukkit-ead was last in the crowd and didn't make it through the door way.

The metal door slammed down in front of him and he smashed into it with a loud metalic thud. Rubbing his head, although through the bucket that was stuck there, he turned around. Tears slowly formed in his eyes, he was alone and the sirens were really scary. He began walking back to the controls to try opening the door again. Meanwhile Smasshy had offered to try cutting the door open, but Nippy had told him not to. Instead they left to explore the rest of the ship and perhaps look for the bridge.

Bukkit-ead was getting closer to the controls, the bucket really restricting his vision. Suddenly it sounded like the door was opening, Bukkit-ead turned back to the door with a sigh of relief only to see that the noise wasn't coming from the door at all. He looked around then suddenly there ws a loud hissing sound. He instantly turned to face it, before long he was flung off his feet in the direction of the sound. Then there was no sound, as if he was underwater. One of the ships dropped down lifelessly and Bukkit-ead followed. He suddenly found that he couldn't breathe and began thrashing around in the air in front of his face. He flew out of the door after the ship and watched as the planet below got larger then as he span slowly watched the ship he was just in drift away, then the planet again, then the ship again. As it continued it started to get darker and darker, his arms tired of thrashing around they slowly stopped by his side. The motionless Gretchin drifted on through space. The ship drifting nearby, it's door still open, unlike the Gretchin it would soon be pulled into the atmosphere and fall to the ground as a large ball of fire.

Meanwhile the Gretchin had found the Kitchen and were happily having a feast to celebrate their apparent escape from the Orks. Besides them the ship was empty except for a few Servitors. The ship was theirs.

What will you do?
A. Leave the system
B. Find another planet in the system for the Gretchin
C. Fire all of the ships amunition at nearby meteors as you drift aimlessly through space.

Thank. The Empra.

Now all I need is for the 'Death of the Emperor' thread to reopen, Candroths 'Death of the 642nd' to reopen and for the 'Two empires, one purpose' thread on the alternate_history forum to bump with a sizable post from Blackwave and my fluff meter will be fully charged.

"Oi boss I boreded" said one of the Gretchin moments after their feast had happened. Nippy had to admit, besides the feast this ship seemed rather boring. Plus it would probably be a good idea to leave incase the owners came back.

"Den we leaves" replied Nippy. "Where to boss?" asked Speedy. Nippy shrugged. "We needz ta find da steery wheel" said Nippy. The others agreed and they began their search for the ships controls. About an hour or so of getting lost they eventually came across the controls by accident. Wheely-Git, in charge of steering and Speedy in charge of speed had been shoved at the control panels and instructed to "make it go proper".

Nippy sat in the captain's chair gazing out the front window. Smashy, being a Killa Kan and thus the most mechanical was in charge of all the mechanical stuffs on the ship, if it broke he had to fix it. Once everyone was in place Nippy pointed out the window and stood up.

"Lets go dis way!!" he yelled pointing. The drivers smashed at the control pannels and launched a few missiles and fired the anti-ship gun a few times, but eventually the ship jerked into motion and flew forwards. This knocked them all to the ground. Smashy let out a low growl to them when he was finally standing again.

The ship spiraled in the general direction Nippy had pointed, all the while firing every single weapon at random as the controls were mashed to make it move.

After a few unlucky freight ships were hit, perhaps preparing to dock at some nearby planet it did not take long before the ship shook violently. Panicked, the Gretchin glanced around outside the main window but they could not see what had caused it.

Thinking they just ran over some smaller weaker ship they continued their journey, again the ship shook violently. This time a monitor flicked to life and showed some human on it.

"This is Inquisitor Fleur Fabre. The damage of your actions has been deemed h.. Wait what?" said the human, her face went from general annoyance to confusion then back to utter disgust. "Oi boss, wots da humie in a box fer?" asked a Gretchin. "Dun know" replied Nippy. "Filthy Xenos, how dare you taint the purity of a ship of the Astartes with your prescence. I don't know how you managed to do it, but you cannot be allowed to continue to posses it. Xenos, you will be purged by the devine fire of the Imperium of man, let your punishment set an example for all others of your kind" said Fleur.

"Boss, wots a Zee Nouse?" asked Speedy. "Dun knoe. Hey Humie wots a Zee Nouse?" asked Nippy. "Do not mock me scum" replied Fleur. "Na really. Wots a Zee Nouse?" asked Nippy. "Maybe its liek a big squigg and dats wots shaken da huge metal bird around" said a Gretchin. "Is you tellin us bout da Zee Nouse so yous can help us kill et?" asked Nippy. "*sigh* You are the Xenos" said Fleur, frustrated. The other Gretchin turned to look at Nippy, some scratchin their heads. "Uhh.. Hes not a Zee Nouse.. Hes a Gretchin" said one of them. "Enough of this, farewell scum" said Fleur.

"Wot was dat about?" asked Wheely-Git. The ship shook again. "ITZ DA ZEE NOUSE!!" screamed a few of the Gretchin, some hid under whatever they could others scratched frantically at the doors and walls looking for a gap to hide in. Nippy raised his Plasma Pistol. "If dis Zee Nous thinks he can mess with da Gretchins.. Wez show him dat da Gretchin aint muckin about" said Nippy.

What will you do?
A. Spin the ship quickly to throw the Zee Nouse of off the ship

A. Spin the ship quickly to throw the Zee Nouse of off the ship

The ship shook again. "Spin da ship round" yelled Nippy. "How?" asked Wheely-Git. Nippy just looked at him. The ship shook again. Nippy shrugged. "Figure it out" he commanded. The gretchin sharted pushing every button they could find, trying to find the spin button. "Wot about da wotsit dat moves da ship?" asked Nippy. Finally the ship began to do a barrelroll to try to throw the imaginary xenos off of it. The Inquisitorial ship was bumped while this was happening and both ships were knocked into the atmosphere of a nearby planet where they quickly began to fall to the surface. Nippy looked out of a window then stood proudly on the captain's chair. "Dis rock will be da new rock just fer Gretchins. No moar getin stomped on or haven ta do wot dem smelly Orkses says" he said. The other Gretchin facing him to listen to his little speech. "Nippy shuld be Da Emprah" said one of the Gretchin. "Wots dat?" asked Nippy. "Dun knoe but dem humies seem ta always talk bout em. Maybe hes da big boss" answered the same Gretchin. As Nippy thought about which one he'd like to be called more the ship hit the ground. All of the Gretchin were thrown around. After they stood back up again, Nippy looked out the window to see the new Gretchin Planet. They seemed to be in some sort of cave, they had made a hole right through the top of it. Then some figures started imerging from the shadows to see what had happened.

Nippy recognized them once they were in the light, they were humies. Smashy had a bit of trouble standing back up again but he eventually got to his feet. Suddenly a small group of humies wearing dark blue came running towards the ship, they had helmets on and shields. "Wot does we do boss?" asked Smashy.

What will you do?
A. Go outside and start to get the humans off of the new Gretchin Planet.
B. Stay inside and try to fire some of the ship's guns.
C. Talk over the loud speaker mockingly.

C. Talk over the loud speaker mockingly.

"Press sum buttins" said Nippy, the Gretchin mashing control pads at his command. Eventually they could hear their voices echo and repeat themselves. At first they were freaked out by the sudden change but began to look around for what was causing it. They eventually discovered a metal stick thingy on one of the control pannels and it seemed to make the echoing louder when they were near it. "Does you little humies hear me?" asked Nippy. Through the window they could see the humies talking to each over and then one showed up with some metal sticks on his back. Suddenly the voice of a humie came from one of the pannels, crackling quietly in the background. "We can hear you. Do you require any help?" asked the voice. "We needs you all ta goes away" said Nippy. The humies continued to talk to each other in the background and then one appeared scared. "Are the generators operating properly. Have your Tech Priests determined if there are any faults with them?" asked the voice. "We dun has those" said Nippy. "Don't have what?" asked the voice. "Teck Prez" replied Nippy. The humies continued their discussion and then the others appeared as scared as the first. "We'll evacuate the area imediately, sir. Also some Tech Priests are one the way to help with any damage done to the generators" said the voice. The cracking sound stopped and the dark blue humies began leading the others away. Weird looking Trukks came to pick up some of them and before long they were all gone. This left the Gretchin staring in awe at Nippy. He'd managed to stomp them all with his words, something no other Gretchin had done before.

"Dis will be da main base" said Nippy. The Gretchin scurried around making adjustments to the ship, fixing faults in designs and adding more spiky bits to the outside to make it harder to smash. After a while some humies wearing red cloaks showed up. At first walking, but after they had stopped and looked over it they came running towards the door. The Gretchin shut it quickly but orange/white sparks started shooting through it and began to draw a door. There were three of them and they were shouting something about "Teck Noe Heh Rah See".

What will you do?
A. Smash them
B. Run from them
C. Try the escape pods

A. Smash them

Nippy clicked his fingers, leaving the Gretchin looking a little confused. "Wen I make dat sound it means dat Smashy shuld goe an fix et" said Nippy. "Oh alrigh boss" replied the mettalic voice of Smashy. The giant among them, Smashy, waddled forwards and out of the room. The chasis of the Killa Kan just small enough for it to fit through the doorways, but he still had to walk sideways to fit.

"Da rest uf ya get redy fer war" yelled Nippy, once again over confident and excited. The three humies managed to open the door and enter the crashed ship. One of them muttering a prayer. Killa Kans are by no means subtle, so they were well aware of Smashy's approach as they heard the loud mettalic thuds of his foot steps echo down the corridor.

However Smashy had become lost, the ship was a maze already for the Gretchin, but even more so as he had to find doors which he could fit through. Giving up on trying to find out he had decided to make a shortcut for himself. As the Tech Priests walked along, weapons raised, and followed by the Arbites that had gathered earlier, one of the walls was heavily dented. "Stop" said the first Tech Priest. He looked at the Auspex then pointed at the wall. The other two began cutting at it with the same instruments they used to open the door. The wall started making a lound thumping sound and they quickly stopped and backed up. Smashy burst through the wall, screaming.

"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Smashy krump all da humies" yelled smashy, although his voice was mettalic it was kind of funny as it was very high pitched. His screaming almost sounding like a cat being strangled. "Holy shi!" exclaimed one of the Arbites, running. A couple others followed him. The Sergeant looked back "For feths sake, man up!" he said, raising his shotgun. He fired several times at the Killa Kan, but the shots deflected off the armoured hull. "Damn, these weapons are too crap for this" he said, throwing the shotgun to the side. A Tech Priest dove after the ornate Shotgun. The Sergeant pulled out a Krak Grenade and smiled. By this time Smashy had killed the remaing Arbites and trod on two of the Tech Priests as they attempted to dismantle important parts with their cutting tools.

"Time to go back to the scrapyard!" Yelled the Sergeant. He ran towards Smashy, intending to place the Krak Grenade in a more vulnerable place. He was stopped by a sharp green flash. He dropped the grenade and looked downwards. His body suddenly felt like it was on fire, then slowly the pain faded away. He collapsed, in between Smashy's legs stood Nippy with his Plasma Pistol raised. "Thanks Boss" said Smashy, his sentence ending with a loud thud and the whirling of a circular saw as his arm crashed down on the last Tech Preist. Outside the door they could see a Chimera.

What will you do?
A. Mess around with the "Plaz Mer Dealies" they had been talking about, before taking the Chimera to safety
B. Rebuild the door and walls
C. Take the Chimera

A, after all it might go BOOM.
