Sounds good. I would say the priorities are:
1. fix up Snazz
2. find a shaman to combat "da sickness"
3. get bigtoofs Boyz

We can fix the Mekk Speshul later (at least that's what Grotskorcha thinks. A bit of tape and it is like brand new )

First thing shall we go to the job pole and see who’s there. We might find a doc, a scrap merchant, some lads at a loose end with some odd skills that we/BigToof can make use of. A “spanna” perhaps to fix the gun or some low-level wierdboy.

Yes I edited my post 6 times. Yes I’d do it again.

I figure we get the boys first then they can help Skorcha do stuff while Snazz is in the docs surgery (getting a docs surprise delux kicking leg.)or at least they might possibly point us in the right direction for some of what we need if they’re not just a bunch of yoofs.

Sorry Pyro, I’m spamming the zog out of this.

I have some concerns about the all-too-eager new blue boys. Like if we both go in there and leave them alone in the wagon we might come out and find it’s been geplünderungen.

I wonder can we make an open-air spectacular in the back of the wagon and gather a crowd to watch my surgery advertising the joint expertise of these two fine professionals for a discounted price?

Unless you think I’m really overthinking this and we don’t need to make the Doc’s job any harder. Still, I’m drawn to grand public displays. (I’m gonna be a Goffik Rocknstar after all.) and I’m keen for any opportunity to impress the new boys into wanting to stay and help us rather than nick our stuff and run.

That would be funny if the new boyz just took your Boom Dakka snazz wagon. Don't worry about it though, I'm not going to do that.

You can go ahead and name the two new orks though, give them some personality.

Up next, you'll have a nice chat with a weird shaman, drink some herbal fungus tea to heal your chest infection, and then you'll all be heading off for your ultimate showdown with the BIG BOSS.

Just need to sleep more first, then find time to write lol.

BTW, I'll be expecting some drawings from you when we're done here!

Herbal tea! I was expecting surgery! I had a whole plan for a badass demon-warding chest scar.

I’m also just waiting for Pyroalchi as I didn’t want to just keep ploughing on.

And yes there will be drawings.

That's amazing man. I love it!

Just to be clear, I’m not asking the doc for a big choppa, I’m asking, can he “bless” my own regular choppa to make it a nurgles-bane choppa?

Oh ok sure.

Blessing obtained.

You can still make that decision though to fight in the pits for extra loot or head back!

I have decided… MOAR pictures





Also, it looks like we both edited for the blessing granted. Nevermind. Sorry, I’m probably stomping all over forum-game etiquette by writing outside my own character.

I also wanted to see if GrotSkorcha had any requests from the shaman before we go, wherever we go from here. Happy to go either way if you want to call it Pyro.

I had some problems with DakkaDakka the last days. The site just did not want to load.

But the pics are amazing! Much better then anything I could achieve!

DankeDanke. (The forum of Deutsch wargaming gratitude)

Yes the site was down for everyone. I think it couldn’t handle the date being the 29th of Feb.

I forgot GrotSkorcha’s bucket helmet in the first pic but I remembered after that. I hope he looks close to how you imagined.

I am currently drawing Snotload and Shina climbing down the ladder.
(And then I’ll be drawing Evuleye and Squigslasha.)

I’m Thinking about maybe just heading back to the fort, I’ve got my blessed choppa, so happy enough with that assuming it works as intended. My upgrades have been all willpower and initiative rather than WS and strength so I’m not too sure if pit fighting is 100% the best application of my skills. (What even would be an effective application of those?) . I feel like I’m more likely to lose out than win big in the pit fighting.

On the other hand if we head back we might get to duff up some speed freaks on the way and with our new boys (and potentially Wargit!) on board we could really bring home the party. And maybe if we linger here too long we’ll miss the party back in the caves and arrive too late.

Good thinking, I agree (and nice German by the way I also though that it might be good to try and look for the burned out Warbike we left on our way in.

I'll leave Grotskorchas cheering though, he is the supporting type.

This latest diatribe from SnazzKrunk is an attempt to add influence to Skorcha’s suggestion that the doc should come with us. If possible I will even exert the full force of my willpower on the other two orks to make them join our plee. Everything short of tying this guy up and throwing him in the back of the wagon.

WAAAAAAGH!



And this one too

Amazing man!

Snazz prob needs to take a Ld test to play chicken with a charging spawn, but then he’s in a vehicle and his buddy is firing on full auto. So maybe he’s pumped. But then the gun goes ge-kläng and that’s either Snazz’s cue to floor it and Ram or brick-it and jump early.

Just a word of warning. We've reached a part of the story that I refer to as a "season finale."

This means there is a very good chance characters will die.

In Wrath and Glory it's even worse than other games. There is a rule called "annihilation." You take double your max wounds, there is no falling down and waiting for the fenix down to get you back up (Pardon the Final Fantasy Reference), you will be as dead an ork boy in a 40K tabletop game lol.

Based on your descriptions I plan to write out the combat as:

Boomdakka snazzwagon rams the spawn.

Spawn counter attacks.

Grotskorcha lights up the spawn at point blank range with the Mek Speshul. Normal complication for a weapon going full auto is a jam, which requires a DN 2 Intelligence + tech test to unjam.

That would be a multi action though which would increase the DN of the next attack by 2. That also assumes you get it unjammed to begin with.

I'll see if I can roll some dice and write this up tonight. (American night time EST mind you)

I had the impression that Snazz planned to hold until Grotskorcha fired before flooring the gas?

So
1. Grotskorcha fires (Snazzwagon still a bit distant from the spawn)
2. Spawn does what it does
3. Snazzkrump rams the Spawn if it hasn't already charged.

?

Anyway: as soon as the Mekk Speshul failes, Grotskorcha would leave it be, grab his Skorcha and try his luck there. Oh and if he dies, he dies. It was fun anyway

As I had understood it. My intention was to hold off the ram until after GrotSkorcha had fired.

So resolve the shooting, Then I assume the spawn counterattacks or continues charging then I ram (assuming I’m not already dead)

Is that possible?

Regarding the general system: it works very well for a forum rpg. As I experienced over in the only war RPG the higher complexity of that system allow for more detailed character rules, but tend to drag things down quite a bit

I find the best system is the one where the coolness of each character basically determines how survivable they are.

Joking of course. Potential to die makes the game worth playing. Mortality is its own reward.

If you hold off on the ram to shoot, the spawn will charge you and attack. Then you could follow up and ram. Maybe back up and rev into him? Sure I can swing that.

Whatever way it works out that’s how we had intended it. GrotSkorcha for first turn, spawn next then Snazz.

If the spawn gets close enough through the hail of bullets to smack the wagon then sobeit, then I drive over him as my dead foot slips off the breaks.

Yeah the trick I've found with forum RPG is to try and centralize as much of the rolling as possible with the GM and instead focus on player choices to drive the story. I.E. Limit player rolls to the most important dramatic moments.

But that's also a lot like my roll 20 games. Keep the focus on player decisions and don't get too bogged down with Da Rulz.

In any case, I could have had that spawn specifically target one of yah'all and kill you, but it was more fun to just trash the Boom Dakka Snazz.

This is more what I was going for:

Isn't fixing a weapon a BS test? At least I thought it is from the version of the W&G Book I have.

Anyway, after the second complication with the Mekka Speshul Grotskorcha has enough of it. It's flamer time!

Yeah, I’m tempted to see what’s behind door number 2. If we drive this sucker down we can see how tough he is with a fender skewering his rear armour hatch. Then the flames might do the cooking before I choppa up the BBQ

I propose, GrotSkorcha grabs his burna and jumps out of das wagon.

SnazzKrunk points the wagon at the sick green git and floors it. Jumping out at the last minute like a 1950’s joy-riding James Dean, but leaving the stikkbomb in the wagon ready to go boom.

I’m hoping Snazzkrunk can take cover and avoid any flying debris (and potentially tough-out the counterattack long enough for GrotSkorcha to get the flamer into range and turn up the heat.
