High's and low's of a game!!

[mattausten86]

After attending the IGT yesturday,one of my games was marked by a very high point and a very low point(which incedently was one of the best moments for the day)!!

High point-Inquisitor Helena kayne(carrying the objective),elected to sprint up some stairs and  and jump over a gap in the gantry(which had occured when a quad went kareening into the building with a demo charge attatched to it),she got all 5 of her actually got all of her actions( i think she rolled 3 6's,and 2 4's),only to be shot at by greenstuff gavs inquisitor,and then fall off the gantry and into the fire,needless to say she didnt get back up!!

Low point(but still bloody funny)-Jeremiah khronus(a junkie-pariah(more about him later))was the only survivor of his warband,after the spaceship,went a bit topsie-turvey,vannon,apparently could hold on for dear life,so he was sucked into the vacuum of space,so as all of this was going on,greenstuff gavs inquisitor and khronus were crawling for dear life towards the only escape pod,the inquisitor had managed to get to the pod,while khronus was planning on making a life saving jump towards the pod,apparently the dice didnt like this idea,i rolled 4 one's,so has he went tumbilling to his death,the last thing he saw was the inquisitor givining him the mioddle finger!!



TBH i shouldnt have really been suprised,as in 3 games,he'd had his leg blown of by a merc and went into system shock<hed been ripped apart in a possesion,only to have his boss clobber it/him,and then this,for some reason,i dont think the emperor likes him!!

What were everyone elses high and low points of the tournement??

High point...

Probably in the last game, which was all about three Kaede Macks meeting, so that the real Kaede Mack could please stand up (or rather, be totally grassed on by his impersonators).

It got to the point where the Kaede Macks were pointing at everyone except each other. And then Big Mack pointed at Marco on the roof top, shouting "He's the real Kaede Mack!".
As it would turn out, shouting that at an Inquisitor who is looking for the real Kaede Mack is not the wisest move, particularly when he has a large gun and three levels of aim for you.

The end result was Ruaridh's characters being left with a bleeding heap of Kaede Mack. Mind you, Ruaridh's characters then finished him off for even an even worse attempt at lying.

Low point...

In the same game, probably Marco being the most horribly oblivious he has ever been and failing two consecutive awareness checks on a natural 00.

I actually rolled three 00s in that game, the last of which was for Cigar Mack shooting his revolver at Auric Morchai - although he did still manage to get all of his other three shots on target, despite a hit chance of 16.

High & low point for my characters is hard to pick, can't say I managed anything very spectacular, just a fair amount of hilarity.

The "I don't like it when the GM is reaching into his bag for something special" incident:
Captain Dave investigates a scanner blip in the woods only to reveal super-ginormous armoured spider which lunges at him and locks him in combat.

Hilarious point pretty much has to be when Tam fired with his Graviton gun into the close combat between his boss Captain Dave and the super-ginormous spider, and managed to hit the captain. Knocked him out cold for 8 turns, 3 of which were still left when the game ended - fortunately the spider got distracted.

I'm pretty sure I became known as the "the bloke who knocked his own guy out with a graviton gun" after that.

In the same game (maybe even the same turn come to think of it) Xerina the death cultist announced herself as Inquisition to a stranger, only to be on the receiving end of some very successful boltgun shots that effectively shredded her to pieces - 47 damage to a T49 character.

In the last game of the day Captain Dave had a problem with an NPC who kept shooting him in the chest, paltry damage, but it meant for about three turns in a row his first action was "stand up", followed by moving 6", get shot again.

I guess lowest point was having Tam do nothing in the first game but walk round a building, get attacked by angry vegetation, fail to fend it off as it pulled him in and having to be rescued and dragged to safety by Xerina.

All lots of fun though

Highest point, as ive said elsewhere would be having kai appear from nowhere make to successful shots that totally floored Rauridhs priest, only to escape and spend the remainder of the game hiding again

Low point, same game finding out a guardsman cant even figure out how to walk up steps in the dark

[mattausten86]

That was rather funny,especilly considering he was supposed to be one of the elite of the guard,no wonder the guard gave a hard time fighting if they cant even get upstairs!!

In many years of gaming, had many great moments, but my favourite is this:

My Skitaari officer Hermann 4687 - the most powerful character in my rogue Magos' warband, with many great feats of strength and fortitude in his history- leading a stealth raid on Inquisitor Haast's dig site, expertly creeps up behind one Eidon Sheer - one of the campaign's mauve shirts - who is reluctantly on sentry duty, and none too watchful. Hermann sucessfully sneaks into combat with Sheer, and attempts to subdue him silently. With Sheer (a man of rather lackluster combat skills, I might point out) down I could practically murder half of Haast's dig team in their sleep. Pinning Sheer down and keeping a hand over his mouth, Hermann disarms Sheer and is about to knock him unconscious.

But. Somehow, despite the towering Hermann's mighty S:82, Sheer breaks free of his grasp. Since he is unarmed, the GM decides that he can take an improvise weapon from the file of junk he is sitting beside. The alarm was only partly raised, but that was totally forgotten in the following combat rounds as that total nobody Eidon Sheer, armed only with a rusty metal bar, proceeding to beat the legendary Hermann into a bloody pulp with 3 critical hits in close succession. For a man who had a few days previously survived a direct hit with a krak grenade, it was the most humiliating upset ever. The raid, I might add, turned into a messy shambles as Haast's backup came in and preceeded to gun my team to pieces.

Indeed, though I was the one who suffered from the incident, I decided to honour Sheer by making a model for him and giving him a place as a permanent character, showing up from time to time in campaigns according to his own behind-the-scenes story.
