(ooc) sorry totally missed it b4

As Romulus and Bloodmaw return to ground once more he sees the great edifice of a chaos stronghold

"he escapes us this time old friend but there will be a reckoning for this"

Slowly he turns and sais into his comm, "halt teleportation, the sorceror has initiated a self destruct and has fled to a stronhold on the ground, i will return to brief you on the situation out"

as Bloodmaw powers the teleporter once more he reflects on the futility of escape when your opponent can track you through space and time, he mutters under his breath "your end will come sorceror"

(yeah I'm game)

(ooc) And yeah sounds good bout the book btw

I enjoyed all of you trying to kill me in the first few pages.
A word of warning though, for some of the new players who don't know, we have this long on-going list of Idiot Wars. Normally this goes about if you try killing a race in it's early stages of the RPG. Luckly Ledabot hasn't deemed any of it so, yet. I admit to trying to pull one of these off back in the old one. Look for Idiot Wars #2 or 3 IIRC

The murderfex sets himself to "lurk" and tries to find traces of ground forces. Soon the blood will be his to taste, but for now he trusts in the tactics of the hive fleet. His bloodthirsty roar echoes through the landscape.

(ooc) you were the easiest for me to fluffily attack

(ic) Rematerializing in the phisical plane Romulus quickly briefs the leader of the Spaces Wolves great company stationed on Ragknoll about the chaos threat and the Tyranid anomaly

Raven's Fortress:
"Oh look, look at the pretty colors in the sky!'
Maniacal Laughter
"Bring up the void shields, I want to watch the sky undisturbed."
"Yes my Lord."

Mukkin: There appears to be some scout marines coming towards you. They don’t notice the nid scouts that are slowly surrounding them. You can smell burning as the remains of ships begin to fall into the atmosphere. To the south west you can see smoke rising from the remains of a wreck.
Marta: You escape back to your home base (clearly)
Evaelc: The oblivion explodes wiping out hundreds of your minions. Seeing your chances of survival, you smash through the side of the ship and launch yourself toward the planet below.
Undevided: Your alpha plus. you know were you are. quite alot of the chaos ship explode. that could be a pain if things dont go your way....

The murderfex relays the message to intercept the scouts and surround them. Waves of chittering gaunts surround the scouts and the towering murderfex sprints towards them. Plasma crackling in his mouth, it's screaming charge alerts the scouts and draws the fire from the gaunts surrounding them. the sniper rifles and bolt shells do little but to scratch the chitin of his armour. The murderfex unleashes the volley of superheated bio plasma into the scouts ranks as they are flooded with the fire of fleshborers. Surely the scouts have voxed the source of their demise, but it mattered not to the murderfex. only that there would be more prey for him to exact his fury upon. Alerted to the smoking wreckage in the southeast, it strides towards it with his underlings behind him. would that there be prey alive amongst the wreckage!

As bar'goth crashes to the ground he is already calling minions. Then with a fair amount of gargoyles around him and a couple of harpies he sets out towords the murderfex. Together they would be stronger.

Hey undivided. when will you create this new thread thing.

When we finish. Maybe I'll do Part one after, say, 5 pages? Or maybe when Ledabot says one of us dies?

will it be a joint thing or what. I'm a little confused.

It is technically a joint thing, we're setting the plot and story as we move along through the RPG. We're all authors in this, so to speak. I'll just be acting as an editor, and the new thread, a more refined version of our stories.

That sounds really good. Also i like your RPing better than mine so i guess it will be better.

Anyway continueing with the original RP. Bar'goth nods towords the Murderfex. Swooping down on a another unsuspecting scout squad he decapitates the head of one and crushes another in its mouth. Meanwhile at the base expansion has started as ripper swarms spread out devouring biomass at a vast rate.

Whoah seems I have missed a lot

Anyway better starting late than never peoples!

Kais slowly walked through the dense undergrowth, his squad following behind, they had been asked to scout the area, so that's what he did. He could see the explosions up ahead from the space battle,
"Humph," he thought, they are all fighting for this planet but they mostprobably did'nt even care about his prescense on the planet, wital mistake.

While he was walking he heard something rushing towards him. He knew that there were Tyranids already on this planet, and know they must be coming for him, they could mostprobably smell him from a mile away, so know they want his flesh as dinner.
"Everybody, battle formation! Prepare for them!" Kais told his troops. "Here they come..."

Then all hell broke loose...

Raven's Fortress:
The Raven raises his open palm to the heavens above
"Let it rain"

The Murderfex rallies the ground forces under his control around the perimiter of the wreckage and acknowledges the hive tyrant. Hive directives dictate that tyrants are dominant leader-beasts, so The 'Fex cedes command to it. Something may well be inside, but the hulking beast would wait for the prey to make it's move. wreckage or not it was deemed unsuitable to rush into a trap.

After the Ultramarines had created a stable base on Rak'noll following the first wars of Rak'noll, Catos was promoted to captain of the second company. the Ultramarines base was located in the middle of the planet and was garrisoned by a full company. When Catos heard of the Imperial Guard that were planetbourne were under attack, Catos dispatched his company to aid in combat, himself accompanying the command squad.

Having recieved reports of the skirmishes between the Tyranid biohorde and the SM scouts Romulus initializes the teleporter once more tracking the last known location of the scouts, arriving at the scene little is left ecxept for blood and empty bolter shells, however the unmistakable treads of a muderfex trail towards the wreckage, in the distance the screams of the dying draw Romulus onwards, reaching a small rise Bloodmaw barks a challenge to the massed Tyranids,

reaching down to Bloodmaws ear Romulus whispers some small words and dismoutnts, once more the crackling of his sheild and the roar of his blade ripple across the ground, in challenge of the mighty foes

sending the scouts east. Dan could see the apocalypse unfolding above and gave warning to all imperial ships in the area

Name: necrons dont have names but lets just call him Steve

Full Name: Necron lord stalker : Steve

Equipment: warsythe, two gauss flayers

Appearence: a long metalic centipede with plated amour along its back. it is holding a warsythe and has a mouth of rotating blades. when it moves it scuttles on many legs, each tipped with short deadly spikes.

History: the necron lord stalker has long been sleeping in the tomb world, waiting for life to return in the galixy so it can be harvested again under the orders of the great C'tan

Bar'goth sniffs in the air, noticing the same signature smell of the one that was on the ship.
Barking orders through the hive mind he summons all the able bodied minions to tear apart the wreckage and take anything of use. Then summoning gargoyles and the harpies he procedes in the direction of the scent. Halfway there he splits his force into three groups that set off.

Watching the Tyranids with some amusement Romulus pats Blood on the flank and Blood lopes of down the hill searching for the big one, Romulus meanwhile calmly walks down the slope to intercept the Tyranids walking calmly into the pincer he stops looks around and then directly at the Tyrant in the center

Without warning a shapeless bellow escapes his lips and he charges forward shield raised to his front and his frostblade "Winterfang" held loosly in one hand, his yell solidifies in to his old warcry "PRO TOTUS ABBAS!!!!!!"
(for the allfather in latin)

reaching the huge creature after massacaring a few of its minions en route he swings his frostblade down in a blinding arc for the tyrants chest......

(for those who dont know a frostblade is a power weapon that increases the strength of the user by +1, so no written in armour saves)



Mean while Bloodmaw closes with the Murderfex, in a blinding jump it leaps from 100 paces out and teleports onto the murderfex sending both it and its quarry tumbling down the hill, Bloodmaw's jaws begin to close about one of the creatures sythes.....

i had to assume that. the scouts got eaten by Mukkins n' co, but not before they sent a massage that they were getting eaten. Yum!
