Yes, I am waiting on the roll results from TS. I can't write about the event until I know what actually happened.

I understand life gets in the way sometimes but how long does it take to roll a die ?

He's been online twice in the past week, I think we should just leave it until he finishes whatever he's doing, It could be serious.

Its around that time of year that big exams are taking place, so im gonna presume its that and not something dangerous or serious, hopefully not anyway.

We can only hope it isn't bad.

TS seems like a tough lad, I'm sure he's just busy.

I've been closing at my work (My hours are 4pm to 1am) so I sleep in till 10am. I haven't gotten around to giving you guys your rolls yet.

Glad to here it is not something serious.

Just got the meeting between Ta'lok and the Skyhunter Cadre written up. Smudge wrote the first half, and did a great job I must say.

Also, I do have some rolls for the Dreadmob battle, so I can start to write those up as well.

Woohoo progress !

All I'm going to say is that the roll results have been rather varied so far. Some of us better expect some casualties.

Yay and Chazz posted too. Just missing War Kitten Eldar post and the EoN response.

Hmmm. Hope it aint me

Huh? I was under the impression that I should hold off on doing anything with my Eldar till Chazz and EoN do their thing.

Oh I didnt get the memo. Lol. If thats the case its EoN up to bat. Then it will be Imperium Hammer time.

So I'm still sitting here twiddling my thumbs and whistling a catchy tune. Lets hope TS can get back to me sooner rather than later.

Edit: Oh, and brilliant writing from Chazz, Smudge and Blackjack, keep it up.

Nice response to Imperial reinforcements, Chazz. Now Captain Kid will meet these elite regiment whose attitudes need work sometimes, lol.

Working on the response, and waiting on rolls. Going to be a big piece, might break it up into two.

Drakka, I'm not up to speed on Imperial Guard. What kind of vehicle is a Wyrm?

Not a vehicle. Wyrm is a Dragon-like creature without all that magic, fire breathing, or speaking english nonsense. Think like the dragons from the Book called Joust.

Loads of razor sharp teeth and claws, super thick hides and diamond hard scales. They are intelligent but in the same way a dolphin is. For my purposes they do form a kind of bond with their rider but nothing mystic. Oh and yea they can fly very well.

The riders are armed like rough riders with different kinds of lances and laspistols, grenades and the like. The main heavy firepower is on the buggies and chimeras.

Ah, well that changes my perspective a bit, good to know

Stupid question, but how easy/hard would it be for my regiment to land some reinforcements at Hive Cogger after the Gargant is over and done with? I don't know if I could literally air-drop into the Hive, but surely there are some landing pads or something of the like where I can pick up/drop off troops.

i would say it depends on how well organized and set up EoN is. Also what kind of weapons he has on his cultists and what kind of control over the city.

I think most of his Cultists have auto-guns, and whatever explosives they can create. I'd have to ask him myself, but I think I could make a landing ok. It's be pushing into the Hive that would be difficult

Okay, I can't wait any longer. I will assume there are no walls, so I will build them. I do not know the commanders name, so I won't name him, I do not know if there are any PDF in the Space Elevator, although I assume there to be, I will say that there ain't. I will garrison the walls and they are made of Rockrete.

That is all I have to work with.

Edit: Do not expect this to be high quality.

So, for the sake of continuity, would it be alright to say the Tau meeting with Ta'lok took place before the Imperial meeting about the Dreadmob? If not, it's not a huge deal, but it wouldn't make much sense for Ta'lok to be on Crion and then fighting the Dreadmob the next day. I can just use some other character/council to rule in Ta'lok's place for the Dreadmob as well.

Edit: Just shot myself in the foot. I mentioned the Imperial meeting during the Tau one. Oh well, I don't really mind writing about a council.

Lol. You could probably do it though. Maybe a day after seems a bit more logical? Like, as soon as Faolan told Ta'lok to gtfo, he started travelling to the T'au camp? It would be pressing for time, but I think Ta'lok could maybe make it if he legged it.

True. If those rogue traders are still around, they wouldn't mind letting Ta'lok use an express service. They have even more leeway with xenos than a planetary governor does.

Probably.

Oh, and after this Gargant business, I'm getting my Guard to get their asses back to Crion and start setting up camp. I mean, turning the world into a military outpost. Mining where I can, taxes from the hives, whatnot. This Chaos crisis is about to get out of hand and I want my precious Guardsmen to be ready for it.

Alright. To clarify something: The Dreadmob is in Khan and heading towards the Kikari Desert (and therefore the elevator)? Or is it in the desert heading towards the space elevator? I just want to make sure. I'm assuming the former because Jhe's job is to keep them out of the desert in the first place.

My Guard will be (probably) heading off to either Hive Cogger after this, or chasing 2BJ1's Orks. Whichever is closer.
