OOC: Wait, blood, am I an Mikal with the assassin and Marius? If so...

IC:

I see the assassin, and hear the words she is speaking, and aim down the sights of my rail rifle.

I take sight on her leg, and ready myself to pull the trigger.

"Stop this girl! Or I will have no choice but to fire upon you!"

When he tries that i activate my holofield and jump to a more safe place.
"Look marius as i said. Attacked on sight while i was just talking to you"

"Be quiet girl, you have no say in this. You killed by Warriors, and in return I will destroy you. I have worked with many Warriors who have stealth sits which have active camouflage. They cannot trick me."

I look for a figure which is transparent, and spot the assassin.

"Stop this, and leave. I do not wish to kill you, but you will give me no choice."

I jump into the shadows.
"How rude tau. I was talking to marius and you just rush in and doesnt even let us finish our conversation. And now let me finish my conversation or you will force ME to become a little less patient." She takes her hotshot las pistol and aims inside the barrel of shas his gun.

OOC: Aims inside the barrel of my gun? From that far away? I don't think so.
And I seriously think we should let blood decide this.

The shot goes wild, but scrapes my shouilder, and I recoil in the pain.

"You think you can come in here! Murder my warriors, and get away with it? NO! I don't think so!"

I bring up my rail rifle and fire at her leg, the shot going to pierce her flesh.

Aiming is not firing!

and i am an assasin they get cool implants and stuff to make that possible!

(i think he means the shot WILL hit her if he shoots. but what do I know?)

And you dont eveb know where i am! I jumped to the shadows while my holofield is still active!

OOC: Firstly, even though you aimed, I am very far away from you, considering that I just entered the room, and you were at the other side for crying out loud, even a highly trained sniper with a pistol couldn't get that shot in the barrel of my gun.

Secondly, I did say that my char has had a lot of experience with stealth suits and thee like, and that he saw the outline of your figure...

... now, as I said, we should let blood decide what happens...

@ineptus astartes, actually I put that it was going to, never actually said that it did pierce her flesh...

And i am saying that with your experience you still cannot see an outline in complete darkness. Ever tried to shoot glass in complete darkness without knowing where it is? Thats the thing. And about blood deciding. What should he decide? My char has no intentions to fight she just wants to finish her conversation and look what the outcome will be.

OOC: Complete darkness? Where the feth did it say complete darkness?

And my char doesn't care if you want to finish your conversation or not, he saw the broken bodies of his Fire Warriors, and you obviously killed them, so I think that justifies him wanting to frikkin' kill you...

Maybe she didnt do that but is that the work of the chaos marines who are lying everywhere. And about the complete darkness that was a example about what is the same. She is in darkness. Because it is pretty dark inside an friggin hangar.

OOC: Listen, even if it is fairly dark, you will still have an outline, as active camouflage only makes you transparent, so it would still be fairly easy (for someone with experience in this area) to see it...

... now, nocturne, I don't want to have an argument, just let blood, the GM decides what is dark, whether I managed to see you, whatever...

Ok then we let blood decide that part but the reason behind the attack is extremely weird. For chaos attacked first thats why the fire warriors are dead. Then i rush towards MARIUS not towards the fire warriors. I got beaten back and got surrounded. I fire my animus pushing everyone back and retreat. Where did I kill a fire warrior in this story?

OOC: My character didn't know any of this, he just came saw littered bodies of Fire Warriors, and loads of Space Wolves and Tau having their weapons trained on you...

... he kinda figured it out that you killed em, seeing as that would be how anybody sees it as...

Name; Shaper Drexl
Age; 52
Race; Kroot/mercenary
Ranking in race; Shaper
Wargear;Kroot hunting knifes, throwing knives,hunting rifle,Kroot rifle,grenades, hound, knarloc,pulse pistol
Background; A Mercenary from the kroot homeworld of pech, drexl left the planet with his kindred of 250 carnivores, he is currently working for the tau
Strengths and weaknesses; this shaper commands a large kindred of 'carnivores' and thrait preffered by them are:regulated body heat,(makes their blood like antifreeze) aptitude with quick movment, (they prefer to move in bounding leaps while on the ground and in swings and jumps while in the trees, enhanced senses and intelligence (does what it says). Weaknesses: has a strict code of honour and a 'no man left behind' policy. prefers guerrilla tactics.

Yes but if he even looks at the bodies he sees that there are chaos soldiers between them so.....

(OOC) The best darkness you're going to get is in the corner of the Cargo Bay where you can still be seen and even if it was dark, Shas is a sniper and has several devices that allow him to see in the Dark and track enemy warriors. You are injured and are in no position to fight and you did kill those Tau with that blast Nocturne so Shas has justification to attack you, ineptus astartes please create a profile and I'll place you somewhere on Fenris.

The Assassin falls in pain as the shot shatters her left leg and damages her ankle, she falls and unable to move is surrounded by Tau once more.

Blood never said that there were Chaos bodies there...

... and even if there were, it would still look as if you killed the Fire Warriors and the Chaos...

... now seriously, stop complaining, it's getting annoying...

IC: "Now, give me a good reason why I shouldn't shoot you again!"

OOC: done!

(it would be helpful if i could start near tau)

(OOC) Great a Kroot Mercenary and since we have Tau this won't be hard

The Tau, Kroot and Space Wolves guard the Chaos Assault carriers Grav-Lift which was taken by the Allied forces with a massive ground and air attack. Shaper and his Kroot troops had been ordered to aid in rooting out any remaining Chaos forces in the area and the Kroot Hounds had their scent, the Kroot where soon following a Chaos patrol of twelve Chaos Cultists who were attempting to retreat from the area.

" by the emporer is it that hard just to let me finish my conversation. Ok i killed some fire warriors but it was self defence if i am not allowed to even talk then fine i leave.... but dont think that i will still be helpfull because when i am done many more of you guys will leave this planet in a bodybag i wanted to be your ally and marius i thought we where in a conversation and that you didnt allow anyone to hurt me. Well it looks like noone ever says the truth." She sits down and looks at the wound in her leg. " well marius i thank you for the broken promise. Because i just KNOW that you are not going to punish the tau and let him take the consecuences for his actions. Just because he is your "brother" well thank you marius."

(OOC) Shas has a point, even if there were bodies these were ambushed by the Space Wolves and Tau earlier. You're Aminus blast would of shattered the bones of the Tau and killed them instantly, I'd like to get back to the story and not having two characters talk constantly about a subject that is flawed completely. The Farseer is right end of discussion. I don't like you going around claiming to other characters you have the right to tell them what to do when you don't.

"You have no right to even be here assassin, yet you continued to insult the Farseer, and throw blind threats. You are despicable, and you are lucky that I didn't kill you," I say, walking over to Marius and the Space Wolves. "I never wanted you to be our ally, as all you would do is cause trouble. Now leave, but do not hope for compassion because of you wound. You can leave with it still there."

I turn to Marius.

"I am sorry for what I did. But I had to. She is trouble, and she killed my Fire Warriors. She had no right to even be here, or to talk to us."

Shaper drexl took in the scent in the air. "the hounds are right. we go." the unit of carnivores with him sprinted toward the cultists,who were fleeing for a massive hanger in the distance. as the Carnivores bounded through the high pine trees drexl unslung his rifle and the plasma-charged metal bullets began were chambered.

I will not leave because the conversation between marius and me is not over. He wants to have an outcome and he wants me to be an ally as he said before. And so do i want to be his ally but if you are still coninueing to disrupt this conversation we cannot come to an conclusion.
(If he knows about me insulting the farseer he should also know about the previous battle right?)

"Shas'O is right, you lack any information that is correct to back up you're moronic statement. We must go, the Chaos servents will arrive soon if we do not split and activate the EMP. Syrath is near and I can feel it he is planning to attack and cause havoc."

The Kroot fall upon the Cultists as they tear them limb from limb, they gun them down and hack them apart as hounds chase down any who try to run. Others beg for mercy but receive none as the Kroot slash and Impale them, blood stains the snow turning it red as the insides of the Cultists are poured onto the ground.

Then i will follow and do nothing until my conversation with marius is complete. And i will not help because when i enter the fray i think that there then will be an "friendly fire" accident with me laying dead. So i will just follow and wait till the conversation between me and marius is over.
