No Syrath?

I'm tired of the character, trying to move away from him.

"I've been from the Cadia to the edges of Rifts Haven an back, I've seen all the highs n’ lows of Mankind, but I ain't ever seen a wretch as desperate, forsaken and squalid as you, blue blood” spat Gibbs.

“Behold the black sun.... the Tyrants sun....shadow ignites us all....." murmured Saul

Saul lay on his back on the hard floor of the cell, smiling as blood and chemicals bubbled down his chin. The lack of clean drinking water, and the inmate’s psychotic tendencies produced liquor locally called Daemons blood, the numbing euphoric effects of which Saul found quite pleasing.

“Don’t be fooled boy, that stuff is alive! It takes the measure of a man, tears them apart from the mind it does! Miracle you’re still breathing”

“Aaaah……very good, yes? Shows the God Emperor Himself watches over me, eh? Truly blessed by the Master of Mankind himself. Once I was a god, you know, a willful ignorant fool, now nothing..”

"More than an ignorant savage" finished Gibbs "Ill tell you one thing Saul, your still a fool an never were a God, you blather out the 'zact same nonsense every time you drink that swill"

He forced himself onto his knees, as lights flickered around his periphery. “Nothing finer than the mud boys finest, eh?” he slurred, balancing himself against the cells cold cell. He pressed his head threw the bars, holding on tightly as his cell span wildly around him.

His shared cell was on the 7th tier of the single max security prison. 1st tier held the newest inmates, who are than forced down a tier every standard Imperial year. The prisoners outnumbered the guards by hundreds to one, as such, guards rarely ventured below the 4th tier, leaving the inmates to form their own complex hierarchy.

Saul owed his life to the Mud boys, a gang rumored to be led by the oldest surviving inmate on the whole prison world. The reason for their interest in Saul’s well-being was beyond him, though it was rare for a highborn to be incarcerated in a penal world, it was not unheard of.

Saul had never venture any further than the 9th tier, but his presence was requested at the behest of the Mud boys.

“Well Gibbs, you old bastard, I had best be off, an eventful evening awaits me” spluttered Saul, as he forced himself up, and past his rusted cell door, blindly feeling his way deeper into the pit.

Epsilon crackled with eldritch energy as it burst into reality, it's scarred hull still showing fresh wounds from previous battle as it hung over the world Nevorus, which was itself burning with the power of the warp. The Epsilon shuddered, it's engines convulsing and exploding it great blasts of flame as it became to dip towards the planet. Within it's bridge, it's commander sat atop an ebony throne, watching over the warped crew as they attempted to bring the ship into a stable position;

"Damage report."

Me'thalak shouted as he increased his grip on the arms of his throne, another shudder caused several serfs and pilots to fall to the floor, before scrambling to their positions. A red robbed tech heretek moved towards the Herald;

“We've lost a majority of our power sir, our engines are failing, as is our life support."

Me'thalak paused for a second, before looking back up at the traitorous Tech-Priest;

"Find a way to set us down on the planet bellow, it's our only chance."

The Tech Priest and several crew members exchanged worried glances, but Me'thalak's gaze only strengthened his words;

"Yes, sir.”

OOC: I am sorta waiting on the group to continue with the Imperials so I can follow, I have changed my background to be part of p_grays squad that got separated, rather than an Exarch, sorry that I missed that.

OOC: Meh, the farseer can be taken prisoner if you want. But be warned, we may be on track to go to war. And we've got super-telleporter-thingymabobies.

BIC: The farseer didn't bother resisting as the soldiers dragged him away. It was unlikely they would be able to block his psychic abilities once they arrived at the base, and not only was he likely to be tracked by the craftworld forces, he'd seen something following them out the corner of his eye.

"You reached anyone else on the vox net?" the pale one asked. he snarls and ligth himself a Ilho stick and puffs bluish smoke into the foul air. Their prisoner groans in pain as the effects of the brutal beating handed down from the storm troopers

Alyrion moved silently and kept a good distance away from the humans, crouching low so that the large generator on his shoulders didn't peek above the rocks he was near. He scanned the group of humans, the beaten Farseer attempted to talk to them, shortly afterwards, they led him away. Alyrion followed, watching from a distance. He saw the radio and communications officer in the squad bring out the human radio system. The vox-caster was a simple machine, its messages easy to intercept. He picked up on the signal, waiting for and message to go too the squad or come from it.

Sorry for the double post, is this even going anymore?

Considering how lazy the GM has been, I dare guess its dead. Unless I am proven wrong by a drastic change of pace

You'd be surprised by the amount of work required to run a halfway decent rp, made even harder with people wanting updates daily. Best rp I played had 1 event per faction per week, and even that was a huge amount of work with very little reward for the dm. Just be patient, surely op will deliver.

No I wont be surprised, I regularly run and DM games. All that is required preparation and more preparation before one launches ones campaign!

I think that having so many different sides was a mistake by the GM. I reckon that he's probably just made far more work for himself than was actually necessary, which is killing the game (aka needing an event for each of us, rather than just one for all of us).

Is this still alive? And if so what's going on? I might want to join if at all possible.

The 'lazy GM' has a lot of problems at the moment. If one of you want to take over then go ahead.

Let us know by PM instead of leaving us hanging in the wind, but I suppose even GM needs to attend RL at times

Yeah, in a week's time I'll be able to take this over if you want. Until then though, it'd be good if someone was to try and keep it going, perhaps? Deathrex, have you ever tried GMing? Because if you want to join the game and we just lost our GM, there would appear to be a simple solution.

We could just turn this into a game where we continue it with occasional events? We just need a map of the planet and so on?

I don't have as much experience as some of you with roleplays, but what I've generally found is they either go extremely well from the very start or they just flop down and die. Unless we have a GM that keeps it going as well as possible...

There ya go, if anyone's unhappy about their placement, just say so, I tried to figure it out from the last few posts, but I could of understood it wrong.

If I forgot anyone just tell me and I'll put you on it, I couldn't figure out where Sycil was Blacktemplar, so I'll put him where ever you want.

I can do a Map of the planet as well if its wanted.

If you need somebody take over GM. I am trying to sort out family at the moment, anybody who wishes to take control just go ahead.

Not interested anymore. The new GM and his character killed any hope I had for this RP, I make it a rule to never play with anyone who plays a drunk. Best of wishes to anyone still partaking in this

Excuse me? All I did was make a map displaying people's positions. I never wanted to be the gm and never even implied that I had ANY interest in it. Someone mentioned having a map, I enjoy photoshop so I made that, my only intention was to maybe spark a bit of interest and maybe get people back to rp'ing.
My one post really ruined your interest? Whatever dude, I doubt it would of been enjoyable for anyone with your continuous impatiance and snide remarks.

Thanks for the map Toastedandy. We just need to get a list of those still interested and figure out when we're going to restart.

Agreed, I've refrained from posting until this all settled down, but I think this guy's been taking it a little too seriously, this is a very relaxed RP. So what if it's a bit rough around the edges

Still interested here.

I am still in, if we are doing this.
Trondheim, it is a developed character that he is actually putting effort into sticking into a set personality. Drunk or not, he is doing his bit on the RP, and doing it well.

Right I know i have been a Bad GM and i believe if somebody takes over it will be for the best. When my problems are solved I might rejoin in this as just a character.

No just no.

Hopefully you can get things sorted BlackTemplar, and I'm glad to see so many people still interested in continuing this RP, hopefully we can get stuck back in asap.

Thanks LordMagnus, but I'm going to be making a new character anyway, NOT because of Trondheims obvious dislike, but because the only goal I had was to have him die in a particularly gruesome way leading to some daemon shinaniggins in the depths of the prison, creating a story in itself that players could of followed or ignored at their whim.

Instead I'll make a character more fitting with everyone's character "level" of power, hopefully now we can continue this as a player driving RP.
