Fallen Paladin, Traitor Champion OOC

[Caralinus]

IIRC, Eye of Terror was created by birth of Slaanesh.

When Slaanesh was finaly 'born' the warp spilled into the material universe through the minds of most of the Eldar population (a much stronger soul force than the same number of humans anyway), trillions of them across thousands of worlds just to put Tigurio's plan into perspective.

I didn't have Lomak fight the invaders because he's a sniper so he wouldn't have stood much of a chance in such close confines but I'm a little stuck as to what role he would play in the upcoming confrontations. Any ideas about what you would like him to do?

[Draco Silverhand]

Tigurio needs to be sniped. I plan to bog his actions in attempting to get the virus bombs into their optimal locations on each world. The slaanesh daemonsword will draw Nero's ship, but Draconis will intuit that Tigurio would have chosen the toughest nut to crack (the firey world of Al Kemar) as his own personal transformative locus. Yep. Al Kemar for transmutation locusts... =P

More seriously, when Draconis does this, I want to get him close enough to try to talk Tigurio down before you snipe Tigurio. In the mean time, feel free to pick off the Thousand Sons sorcerors (three, two leading squads of walking urns, one wearing the medallion of Oxan...)

Without their leadership, the ashes will lose the will to move, and Tzeentch's power will be weakened.

I imagine it's more along the lines of MY-VISION-IS-IMPAIRED--I-CANNOT-SEE!!

[Draco Silverhand]

Well, I suppose. I thought the Thousand Sons urns were just mindless automatons that responded to the will of the sorceror that led them (like servitors in a techmarine's squad)

[Caralinus]

Okay then I'll have Lomak go in with Draconis (Sentinel can stay where it is I think) and then hang back, shadowing him so that Draconis can get near Tigurio with a rifle toting Inquisitor getting in the way. When Lomak eventually takes the shot do you want Tigurio killed or just wounded?

[Draco Silverhand]

I suppose you could say that by now, Tigurio will never die... even if he wanted to.

That said, I'd like Orin Lomak to snipe Tigurio. Snipers go for one shot, one kill (or sometimes two or three kills, see Halo 3: Triple Kill videos with sniper rifle in use...)

The dialogue between Tigurio and Draconis will be an uneven match of sword and strength, where Draconis will be more finessed, but still no match for pure, unadulterated fury and Chaotic enhancements. At some point, I'll post OOC "Take the shot" or something along those lines, and you can post the slaying, and perhaps in-battle back-and-forth between Orin Lomak and Draconis Falzone, on whether or not Tigurio should have been captured and tried for his crimes, with Draconis arguing in favor, on grounds of... I don't know, making an example out of the bastard, while Lomak can present his own logic against such foolhardiness.

Eenywho. I posted last IC: I believe it's time for Agares to show up again, this time fully healed, and perhaps discover an entrance into the subterranean hives of the planet. Leading the world eaters down into them should garner a measure of glee from Khorne.

Following Agares, perhaps Nero arrives in-system, too late to save the world assaulted by the Deathguard, as their Plague Champion somehow amplified the virulent strain of virus in the virus bomb, and it ate through its containment field... then the death guard... then the world. Tigurio's strike cruiser will be laying in wait on the opposite side of the planets, as they line up, so an immediate naval battle should not be plausible, but perhaps after the mining hive world is ignited in flames (virus turns carbon based life into ammonium nitrates and fuel oil), Nero's ship will make neutralizing the strike cruiser (whose name has been wiped from Imperial record. Go figure) a priority.

Once Nero arrives in-system, a distress beacon from the ice world might draw them down (by then, the world will have thawed with the boiling blood of the masses). Draconis will intuit that Tigurio would be not with Khorne, Nurgle or Slaanesh, citing his erratic and destructive behavior to most resemble Tzeentch's followers. Once scans of each world are completed, I was thinking Nero would plot an intercept on the strike cruiser, while also deploying forces to Tigurio's world, along with perhaps the other two...

Thoughts?

[Koval]

If I find any slight vestige of time either today or tomorrow, I'll get a post going. So saying, I'd like to get it up before I go away for a couple of days (Tues/Weds).

[Koval]

Introducing the World Eaters contingent, and a Dalek dressed up as a dead World Eater in a Dreadnought. I was aiming for one-track-mind with Scatharax, 'cos all he cares about is BLOOD-FOR-THE-BLOOD-GOD and precious little else.

You'll have to excuse the blatant line theft, but there we go.

[Caralinus]

Sounds good to me Draco, I'll be ready when the moment arrives.

[Draco Silverhand]

Have we lost Necris? His last post on this thread was June 22... it's July 21.

[Koval]

Well, his profile puts him as having logged in around midnight (UK), so I doubt it.

[Draco Silverhand]

Okay, but I was kinda waiting for him to post IC, as, Nero has to arrive in-system before Draconis or Lomak can do anything...

[Necris]

True enough my bad I've had a lack of inspiration of late

[Draco Silverhand]

I left it up to you, Necris, of whether you take an oath of moment to not kill Tigurio Falzone, more or less. This leaves it open for Orin Lomak (who Draconis either forgot, or thought wouldn't be honorable anyways) free to shoot Tigurio when Draconis is disarmed by Tigurio. I'm thinking, they fight, Tigurio and Draconis talk as Tigurio preps for the killing blow. Nero preps to lunge if Draconis dies, Lomak takes the shot. Unless y'all would rather wing it.

[Necris]

God dammit I've tried 4 times to post now
