/tg/ - Traditional Games

Krooza and Wraith Skranda are holding above Syran. The pieces of the tomb have been moved to Krooza for processing.

"Oi guess Syrans a wrap!" declares Grakgut proudly. A grot blows up.

After a few hours of counting the loot and whatnot, the Skanna Jamma begins beeping. Wazgor walks over, and activates the main screen.
"Oy, wot da zog do ya want?" he yells.
The Main Screen flickers to life.

"Hey yo, Catalyst station, y'all niggas there? This is Inquisitor Throne." says the Inquisitor, "I got a mission for that Deathwatch Team my boy Doggfather keeps talking about."
The Kill Team gathers around.
"I'm hearin' shit about a bunch of 'scions of chaos' readying themselves a Black Crusade. This shit don't fly. Tell'em to head to Ravenforge. If these 'Scions of Chaos' are half as dumb as I know they are, finding them will be simple."
"Hmmm...Black, eh?" notes Kroz.
"That's all from me, 50 Throne out."

Before leaving, Kroz gathers a bunch of grots. They look slightly apprehensive.
"Lessee. Yellow'z FLASH, Red'z FASTA, Blue'z LUCKY, Purple'z DED SNEAKY, WOTS BLACK?" yells Kroz, "DERE'Z A PRIZE TO WHOEVA WINS!"
"Dem gitz get all da armor!" says Wazgor.
"Shut it, ya git!" says Kroz, "DIS IS A KWIZ."

The grots stand at attention, or the closest thing to. "Uh..." starts one of the Grots, "Goffs use dat, an' dey'z ded'ard."

Kroz smacks him with the Aetherstave. The grot recoils, then flashes as he's surrounded by a bubble. This bubble of slow-time only affects the grot. The kill team pour some paints in, and note the paints slowly fall through, the red paint falling faster.
"I KNEW DIS WOZ GUNNA BE A GUD TESTIN' GROUND!" says Kroz, who then passes out splinter pistols as consolation prizes. Then he hits the big red button.

"Plissken! Are you Gitz done getting da loot?"
"Yeah, boss!" says Pliskin, "Tomb-fing's in da loot bay."
As Wazgor grabs a Timesplinter Cloak and a Heat Lance, noting the Tomb's been cut into convenient slabs for future work. As Wazgor stops by to check on Clarence at his dojo, Krooza rumbles as it enters the Warp.

The trip to Ravenforge is expected to take three days. However, on the first day, grots begin randomly exploding. The grots are rufous, a color best compared to rust. The first day is lost in the ensuing panic and firefight over the odd-colored grots.

In the remaining two days, Wazgor trains the children in the art of shooting stuff while flying, and Grakgut creates a sanctified dracosquig, a squig that can fly, breathe fire, and has infused sister blood. Kroz continues applying upgrades, and 'Eadmangla begins collecting Bomb Squigs. Wurrza attempts a WAAAGH infusion, but fails, the force backlashing and knocking his dread on his ass. Wurrza is rolling under a 65, and Grakgut sees this as a problem. Grakgut goes to the med bay, and creates a cocktail of drugs that will boost willpower and psy rating.

After coking up Wurrza the dread, they make him try again on the third day.

"Now, ere's da fing. YOO KAN'T USE IT TOO MUCH OR YA WILL KRUMP YA BRAIN!" notes Grakgut.
"Wot? Me brain'z a blasta now!" replies Wurrza.

Rolling under a 90, Wurrza rolls...a 1.

Nine degrees of success.

Wazgor's Heat Lance is infused with so much raw WAAAGH energy it catches on green fire, and gains the Accursed quality. For those who don't know, Accursed grants 1d10 damage and the Felling quality. The weapon's final stats are 30m 4d10+10 Pen 12 Accurate Melta Unstable Felling Overheats.

Grakgut makes a few more drugs for Wurrza, for the future.
"SAVE DIS FER LATAH. YOU'LL NEED DIS." states Grakgut.
"ROIGHT MISTAH CANDYMAN." notes Wurrza, still hopped up on Gork and Mork know what.

Krooza begins shaking, as it and Wraith Skranda leave the warp over Ravenforge. The Kill Team can see the corrupted forge-world hanging in the blackness of spess.
"Oy, Clarence!" yells Kroz, "Ready da diggagrots, stick'em in da Ravagork, let'em fight sum enemies!"
"Right, boss." says Clarence.
"KROZ TA ALL SKWADRUNZ. KEEP YER EYES NOT MUCKIN'BOUT. IF DEREZ A CROOSAID, WEEZE GOTS TA FIND A FLEET OUT DERE. UNLESS DEYZ REAL SLOW AN' GOT NO ROKKS YET. SUM'UN GET DA CYGROT LOOKIN FER A ROKK.. UH... MAKIN... PLACE." yells Kroz through the voxcaster.
After a few minutes, the Kill Team see the Rokk Pods disengaging as da boyz head down to find a fight.
"Welp, betta get down dere." states Grakgut.
Kroz activates the searchy gubbinz, and the Kill Team notes increased activity at the largest Forge. It's built into a sheer cliff face. They have the location easily.

The kill team and Boldo pile into the Last Danca.

"Ya got a Locashun?" asks Wazgor, who warmed up the Danca.
"Da rokk iz in da rokks!" states Kroz.
"Makes sense." replies Wazgor.
"Rokk an' roll!" yells WUrrza.

Da Last Danca is rocketed out the launch bay towards the dark forge of Ravenforge.
"So wots da deal wif dis Ravenwaaagh?" asks Wazgor.
"Dunno. I fink it'z one of da 'umie kults of speed." notes Wurrza.

As da Last Danca breaks the smog cover, the Kill Team can see the largest forge, its many access ports smoking with industry. There are numerous landing zones. The Kill Team chooses to land inside one of the supply ports.
"SUPPLY PORTS 'AVE DA LOOT!" observes Wurrza.
Kroz drives full throttle in, and skids to a halt inside. The doors fall open, and Boldo flutters out. Boldo chirps. Grakgut motors out and looks around. This particular supply dock seems to be abandoned. However, Boldo flutters toward a familiar blue light.

"Got a selection of good things on sale, stranger..." says the Merchant.
"...'ow'z dis git get around?" says Grakgut.

Wazgor gets a Ballistic Skill Implant for his grot Firegit, boosting his BS by +5. Kroz gets a box of spoor targeters for the team, but since these take up a sight and won't let you fire on allies, they prove unpopular. Grakgut complements his 10,000 kg of Demo-Charge with 10,000 KG of Prometheum. Wurrza gets a set of Magna-Grapples, mounted to his frame. 'Eadmangla gets his Lascannon permanently sanctified, prompting the Merchant to take out the sanctified sharpie and write "No daemons here." As a team, they replace their Kannonz, with good-quality Disruptor Kannonz, for preserving the loot.

"Heh heh heh, thank you." says the Merchant, as he walks behind a box. Grakgut lifts the box, and sees no merchant. Looking inside, the box is full of spray-paint. After moving the box onto the Last Danca, they move on.

"'Ow da zog does 'e do dat..." says Wurrza.
"Wayz I figurez, dat git iz one of dem 'umie or pointy not-gorks an not-morks, an 'ez tradin fings cuz orksez iz best, an 'e hates Garo too." notes Kroz.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJSER3LuNzE

The supply dock lies empty and abandoned. There is a door which appears to lead deeper into the Forge. And Grakgut smells heresy. He speeds through the door, and across the hall. The floor gives way. Grakgut has fallen into a trap.

"AHA! OI FOUND A TRAP!" yells Grakgut excitedly, "GITS THOUGHT YA KULD OUTCUNNIN' ME!"
"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" says a voice nearby.
"Nope! Oi-wait..." Grakgut turns his head, "OI SAW DAT YOO 'AD A TRAP, SO OI WALKED INTA IT TA MAKE YA FINK YOO WUZ CLEVAH!"
"I didn't lay the trap." says the man who appears. A tall man with underwear on his head, riding some sort of beast. Grakgut notes he wields a power klaw in place of an arm.
"Who da zog is dis git?" asks Wurrza.
"I suppose you can call me Darrius." says the man, pointing at the underpants, "Named after me, or maybe the other way? Who knows!"
Darrius does not appear to be all there, a few barrels short of a shoota.
"You're looking for someone, I can tell!" says Darrius, "Don't mind Fluffles, he doesn't bite hard."

Boldo and Fluffles bark and chirp at each other. Profound things were communicated.

"'AVE YA SEEN ANY 'ERESY ANYWHEREZ?!" asks Grakgut.
"Yes. It's why you're here, isn't it? Wouldn't be here otherwise!" Darrius laughs, "The ones you want are on the top floor. Not too bright."
"Den top we go! Wanna go wif us?" asks Grakgut.
"Da fast'un an Da lucky'un an da short'un roight? Deyz a right gud larf" says Kroz.
"Indeed!" yells Darrius, with a strange grin, "Unfortunately, this is not my fight."
"Den we'ze got Deffwotchin' ta wotch." states Wurrza.
"Well, I wish you luck then! All things are coming together! Be on your best behavior! HA HA HA HA HA!" Darrius gallops off.

As Darrius rides off into the halls, the Kill Team finally realizes what Fluffles was. A Juggernaut of Khorne.

The kill team decides to continue. Wurrza climbs the stairs, Grakgut spidermans using his rokkit fists, and Wazgor and Kroz fly up, Wazgor faster than Kroz. 'Eadmangla, however, takes some vents up. As he travels the vents, he begins to hear voices echoing down.

"...are you sure this ritual will turn us into Daemon Princes?"
"Totally. My uncle works at the eye of terror, and he knows what's what."
"Okay...first step is the Blood of a Martyr."
"I got the Blood of a guy named Marty, does that count?"
"Toss it in."
"Now, we need the tears of a virgin, for the dark prince."
"I punched a homeless guy until he cried."
"Let's try it."
"Now, we need the teeth of a rooster."
"I have some week-old chicken fingers."
"Worth a shot. See what happens."
"Now, for the Lord of Change, we need an Icon of Cha-DUDE THAT WAS THE REMOTE."
"So?"
"Noise left the Pict-caster on Happy Days again!"

The Kill Team finally reaches the top. 'Eadmangla, looks through a vent to see the door and the Lifeguards standing around a bubbling cauldron.

"I think that wo-"

'Eadmangla sees an explosion.

"AH. AHA! IZ YOU GITZ! WOTS YOUZE UP TO?" yells Kroz.
'Eadmangla snipes the remains of the cauldron as the smoke clears.

As the smoke from the explosion clears, the Lifeguards are standing there.
"I don't...feel any different." says Sorceror.
"LONG TIME NO SEEZ, TIME FER A GUD LARF!" says Kroz.
"Look! We daemon now!" points Noise at the horn growing out of his head's left side.
"I'm so horny..." says Plague.
"OH GODS NEVER DO THAT AGAIN." says Sorceror.
"Ha! Hated Deathwatch! You will fall before the fury of the Lifeguards, and-" starts Berzerker.
"Positions!" Sorceror frantically yells.
The Lifeguards get into position.
"You gits!" yells Wurrza, "I'z gonna turn dat bird-'eaded wierdgit inta fried chicken-squig!"
"You gits ready fer krumpin'?" yells Wazgor as the Kill Team breaks into their own poses.
"Hey, where's Midget?" asks Noise.

UUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!

"Whoa." says Berzerker.
Out walks Midget...not so small anymore, now inhabiting the body of a Chaos Decimator.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUjxPj3al5U

Each side opens up in the ensuing clusterfuck. Berzerker charges Grakgut while everyone else opens fire. Due to 'Eadmangla's massive stealth, nobody sees him, and he plinks with impunity with his Lascannon.
Midget takes a high-damage Lascannon shot to the face and survives, which shocks 'Eadmangla. Wurrza moves up against Midget, as Mega Dred and Decimator clash. Grakgut takes down Berzerker with swift-attacking lightning klaws, though not before Berzerker does heavy damage with his two hellblades. Kroz takes massive damage from a bolt of change and a Storm Laser, but manages to tank it long enough to kill Sorceror and Plague, though having to pull the ripcord on his new Chronometron and have Boldo assist. Wurrza magna-grapples into midget, and tosses him into a wall, crumpling him to the ground. Wazgor unloads into Noise, overloading his shields and dodges long enough for Wurrza to lay down a punishing Bolt of Change.

The Kill Team stands on the roof of the forge. A silence permeates the air.

"All right, boss! We're mopping up here. I must say, the young diggas racked up quite a kill count." says Clarence over vox.
"Dats gud!" says Grakgut, "Fer now, make sure dey KRUMP ALL DA HERSHEY."
"Heh, of course, boss. We're heading back. I can't seem to find any more enemies." says Clarence.
"Dun worry, we got da loot!" says Pliskin over vox.

As Wurrza grabs some bitz of the cauldron, everyone else decides to head out. 'Eadmangla notes Boldo looks rather ill from eating Sorceror's face.
"DIS BIT IS A 'ERETIKAL...FING! IT MUST BE SWEPT UP FER DA LIBRARIUM TO...UH, COMBAT MUCKIN ABOUT!" declares Wurrza.

"Maybe we should loot da pants-man's pants." says Wurrza.
As the Kill Team boards the Last Danca, they fly up through the smog. As they fly past, they see on the distance the pants-headed man riding into the sunset. He appears to be yelling into his crotch. "No, Eduardo, B Flat! B FLAT! Sing it with me!"
"Eh. 'E'll be foine." Wurrza decides.

The Kill Team reaches the Krooza, and the doors slam open. Boldo floats slowly out, not well.
Pliskin heads up. "Awright, boss! 'Ere's da loadou-"
"DEEEEAAATHWAAAAATCH!"

"YOU WON'T GET RID OF US THAT EASY!" echoes a voice across Krooza's voxes.
"Boss, we're detecting something out there!" says clarence.
"OH...DEYS ALIVE TO LOOT STILL!" says Wurrza.
"GET'EM." says Wazgor.
"Hop in." says clarence, with his buggy.

Clarence brings the Kill Team to the bridge. Out the window, the Kill Team can see five capital ships.

"BEHOLD, THE POWER THAT WILL BRING THE IMPERIUM TO ITS KNEES!" yell the Lifeguards.
The ships begin moving together. Connecting to each other.
"YOU WILL KNOW FEAR, WHEN THE LIFEGUARDS UNLEASH THE FULL POWER OF THE CHAOSKAIGER!" yells Berzerker.
"3!" yells Noise.
"3?" asks Plague.
"Yeah. Everything sounds better when you add a number." states Noise.
"What." sighs Sorceror.
"Yeah. Maybe we can even have a themesong! You know, like...'Let's Go ChaosKaiger 3!'" says Noise excitedly.
"Whatever. DEATHWATCH! YOUR END IS HERE!" yells Berzerker.
"GAAHAHAHAAHAHA!" laughs Grakgut, "OI LOIKE 'OW STOOPID YOUZE IZ!"

Then the Kill Team looks down.

Krooza's screens are glowing.

"YOU WON'T GET RID OF US THAT EASY!" echoes a voice across Krooza's voxes.
"Boss, we're detecting something out there!" says clarence.
"OH...DEYS ALIVE TO LOOT STILL!" says Wurrza.
"GET'EM." says Wazgor.
"Hop in." says clarence, with his buggy.

Clarence brings the Kill Team to the bridge. Out the window, the Kill Team can see five capital ships.

"BEHOLD, THE POWER THAT WILL BRING THE IMPERIUM TO ITS KNEES!" yell the Lifeguards.

"YOU WILL KNOW FEAR, WHEN THE LIFEGUARDS UNLEASH THE FULL POWER OF THE CHAOSKAIGER!" yells Berzerker.

"GAAHAHAHAAHAHA!" laughs Grakgut, "OI LOIKE 'OW STOOPID YOOZE IZ!"

Then the Kill Team looks down.

Krooza's screens are glowing.

"ROIGHT DEN, IF WE'ZE GUNNA FIGHT A BIG STOMPA, WE'ZE GUNNA FIGHT IT WIF OURZ!" says Kroz, stepping up, "KROOZA KNOWZ WUTZ WUT! TRANSFORM!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ABHFWlmAG4

Krooza's controls fall away, replaced with new ones.
Wraith Skranda changes into its backpack form and attaches to the back of Krooza.
"PLASMA REACTOR OUTPUT INCREASING!" shows one cogitator, linked to the plasma drives.
"FRACTAL MODULE SYSTEM ENGAGED!" shows another, as Krooza's bulkheads begin sealing.
Krooza rushes forward, splitting down the middle, its bridge realigning. The Orkross Kannon flies forward, into Krooza's waiting Klaw. As the bridge settles into its head position, Krooza powers up the Orkross Blade.

Supa Dimenshun Stompa mode engaged.

KANNON CHARGE: 0%

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYOe7EYOrAg

ChaosKaiger 3 draws a pair of swords. SDS Looted Krooza and ChaosKaiger 3 charge each other. The Lifeguards even name their attacks. Krooza circle-strafes on evasive, with a salvo of torpedoes and lances. ChaosKaiger 3 charges in with the Chaos Adventure Drive, which Krooza parries with the Orkross Blade. They also unleash the Chaos Fire, a set of melta-cannons. Krooza dodges, however. Krooza responds with Klaw rokkit punches and more lances, the Disruptor Kannons coming to full as a number of Chaoskaiger 3's parts are disabled. Now in melee, ChaosKaiger 3 performs the Chaos Power Bomber, bringing its twin swords down, but it is deflected by Krooza. Unloading the Chaos Super Dynamite, Krooza is hit with a number of point-blank Torpedoes. Krooza grabs ChaosKaiger 3, and just begins punching, seriously damaging ChaosKaiger 3. It is now that ChaosKaiger 3 performs its most devastating attacks. Starting with the Chaos Prominence, ChaosKaiger performs a flurry of blows, a Black Crusade Lightning Attack with its twin blades. Krooza remarkably manages to parry all six attacks. Finally, ChaosKaiger 3 begins glowing, and fires the Chaos Aura Galaxy, a point-blank Nova Cannon. After dodging half the hits, ChaosKaiger 3 furies on the two remaining hits, and heavily damaging Krooza. After Krooza retaliates, the Kill Team finally sees what they were looking for.

KANNON CHARGE: 100%

"ORKROSS KANNON, DAKKA!" Yells Kroz.
"An' die already!" adds 'Eadmangla.
The Orkross Kannon's blades extend, spinning, focusing the energy within. The Orkross Kannon finally fires, a lance of energy flying forward, piercing the Chaoskaiger 3 through its central frame.

"Is it over?"
"This blows."
"Blaaaaagrh."

The ChaosKaiger 3 Explodes.

As the smoke from the Orkross Kannon clears, the Kill Team notices something amongst the wreckage. One of the swords survived the blast. They grabbed it before it could finish spinning. It feels right. Wraith Skranda disengages, as Krooza begins transforming back to Krooza mode. Wazgor scans the wreckage, and actually picks out Midget's decimator face mask, which he loots.

At this point, the Skanna Jamma begins beeping again. The message begins playing.

"Word up, word up, this is Inquisitor Doggfather. I need that Kill Team that's so good at what they do.
The Kill Team gathers together.
"Tell'em to meet at the following coordinates."

"We're gonna take back Xaviol."

"DEYZ GIVIN' US OUR OWN FIGHT! I FINK WE'ZE GONNA OBLIGE!" yells Kroz.

With a resounding WAAAAAAGH, Krooza enters the warp, flush from the victory over the Lifeguards.

Da Krooza must be pretty trashed at this point if it got that badly damaged.

>>18423781
We never actually resolved that.
And I was going to get Ship Repairs.
Hmm.

>>18423781

Yeah. they're about 30 out of 85 hull right now.

Hear that? Get repairs, kids.

That said, they did unlock a new Skwad Mode - Wozzat Supposed Ta 'Urt?

Caught in the heat of battle, an ork can often forget about trivial things like pain or death. Engaging this Skwad Mode increases the level of an ork's unnatural toughness by +1 (i.e. x2 becomes x3) for that round, with all the appropriate bonuses.

They also gained a new attack after they looted the Lifeguard's swords.

Lightning Prominence (New Name Pending)

Krooza's dual-wielding swords now. Instead of a set of Klaw attacks, Krooza can go all out with both blades. Choosing to use Lightning Prominence grants Black Crusade Lightning Attack using Orkross Blade Damage (3d10 Lance). Note that while one can fire the Orkross Kannon and use this, one would be unable to use the Klaw attacks (essentially, two swift attack klaw arms, or one BC lightning attack sword flurry). This is NOT a Skwad Mode, and is considered a normal attack usable at the Kill-Team's discretion.

I look forward to how they will use it.

That said, I'll decide whether or not to tell the next story in a few minutes.

>>18423850
Please do.

/tg/ has been a pile of shit lately between the slew of mediocre quests and Anti-40k shitposting.

>>18423887
Yeah, the influx of GENERAL threads of all fucking things makes me think that /v/ is arriving en masse, which is a very bad thing.

>50 Throne

Fuck I love Deffwotch

>>18423967

And then you have two giant robots beating the shit out of each other.

Our wiki page is http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Deffwotch for archive links and other shit.

I guess I can tell the second story right now as well.

'Ere we go.

Krooza has entered the warp, using secret Inquisitorial Warp Paths to rush to the fight. It is surprisingly safe. This greatly disappoints the Kill Team. The Kill Team decides to get shit done in the meantime. Kroz finishes work on the Orkross Kannon, improving its crit rating, and working on other weapons. Wurrza continues focusing raw WAAAAGH into his weapons, failing on the first day but successfully channeling energy into his frag launchers, granting him Fear 1. Grakgut spends two days shaping the demo-charge into a giant icon of Gork, or possibly Mork, and filling it with prometheum to create a titanic FAEB (Fuel-Air Explosive Bomb). Wazgor spends time teaching the children the wonders of dakka. He then tries to teach the children the wonders of choppa, netting success by matching score.

"Heh. Barely got it, boss." says Clarence, "Try it again, boss. Clear your mind and just attack." says Clarence."

Wazgor hits the targets again, getting success, though with no degrees.

"Slightly better, boss." says Clarence, "You know, this reminds me of a story."

The Children and most of the Kill Team gather together.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp2jtqmgOpM

***
A trukk was going very slow. So slow, one of da boyz got out of the back an' walked up to the kab.
The boy yelled to the driva, "Can't ya go any fasta?!"
The driva yelled back "Yea, but I kan't leave me trukk while it'z runnin'!"
***

Wazgor laughs.
"Where woz 'iz red paint?" asks Wurrza.
"Sometimes you try so hard to do something, you forget to actually do it." says Clarence, "Just get stukk in, and you don't need to worry."
"Oi loike dat advice. Jus' git stuck in an' quit muckin' about!" declares Grakgut.
"Not as good with da Choppa as with Dakka." muses Wazgor, "Guess that makes me bit of an Oddboy."
"Do not think about it in that way, that is muckin' about." says Clarence, "Instead, think of how you can use your choppa and dakka to kill your enemies."
Clarence collects the children.
"I'll be around if you need me, boss." says Clarence.

Krooza exits the Warp, Xaviol visible in the backdrop of spess. Looking out the windows, the Kill Team can see a number of ships, from Military to Inquisition to Rogue Traders. Some ships that stick out are the Dogg Pound, Doggfather's ship, and Studio 69, flagship of the House of Korst'la. Someone hails the Kill Team.

"Deathwatch, you are expected. All the leaders are meeting on Studio 69. More intel will be given upon arrival." Docking data is given for the central bay of Studio 69.

"'FORE WE GO!" yells Grakgut, "LOOK AT DIS FING WE MADE!"
Grakgut takes the Kill Team to the loot bays, and shows off the massive statue of Mork, or possibly Gork.
"Gork an' Mork..." says Wazgor, impressed.
"Looks proppa, but wut're dey suppozed ta be?" asks Kroz.
"GORK AN' MORK, YA GIT!" yells Grakgut, annoyed.
"Izzit 'ollow?" asks Wazgor, rapping on the side.
"Dun touch it!" says Grakgut, "It's full'a burna juice!"
The Kill Team want to shoot it out of a kannon to see what happens.
"Dis iz a... ehehehe... prezent fer Garo next time we seez 'im..." states Grakgut proudly, "But fer now, letz git ovah to da blue git'z krooza."

As the Kill Team hops into the Last Danca, Boldo floats in as well. Boldo looks sick.
"Boldo?" asks Wazgor.
Grakgut performs Medicae, and determines that Boldo is physically healthy. Wurrza notes something odd about Boldo's psychic signal, but otherwise can't really tell.

Last Danca is shot out the Launch Bays. Kroz makes a deft landing on the central launch bay of Studio 69. The doors fall open, and the Kill Team hear an incredible commotion.
"Always wif da racket..." sighs Wazgor.

The area is abuzz with human, tau, dark eldar, and kroot activity. The humans appear to be mostly guardsmen. They look very scared, and are keeping away from the xenos. As the Kill Team disembarks, a fire warrior runs up.

"Deathwatch!" says the Fire Warrior, "Shas'o Korst'la requests your presence. He's holding the war meeting in the High Rollers Casino. Here is the location."

The Kill Team makes their way through Studio 69. Tt seems everyone is preparing for war. They finally reach the High Rollers Casino after passing multiple nightclubs and racetracks. It seems that even during Wartime, people are still spending their money. As the Kill Team pass numerous gambling tables, and a talon of Black Panthers Dreadnoughts dancing on stage, they finally come up to the War Planning.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWr7v0Kc-f4

"Hey! Deathwatch!" yells Korst'la, "so glad you can make it! Looks like everyone's here!"
"Ya know, I wundah why dat Tau git waaaaghs wif da Dark Eldar..." muses Wazgor.
"...it's a very long story." says the voice of Khodexus behind him, "Perhaps I'll tell you after all this."

Continuing through, they hear other voices.

"I still don't know why we gotta be here with this little blue fuck." says another voice, "Don't the Emprah say to purge the xeno?"
"Man, shut up, Dre." says the voice of Doggfather, "If the xeno's funding it, we can take the Emperor's world back without spending the Emperor's thrones! Don't be a busta."
"Indeed! It's great that the Emperor's getting his world back!" says Ecclesiarch Dave.
"I look forward to my troops leading the charge! They have been conditioned appropriately!" says Blobert Cankleton, now built like a brick shithouse.
"Wuzn't dis place zogged, though?" asks Grakgut.
"Almost, but the forces of Chaos hold it! We will take it back, if my name isn't Maximus Huge!" says Maximus Huge, now 9 feet tall.
"A ded killy warboss once said, 'Da enemy of my enemy...uh, zogs enemies wif me.'" says Wazgor.
"You can say that." says Korst'la, "Chaos holding the primary Astropathic Relay is bad for business."
"GARO'Z GONNA TASTE DA GARROTE! WE'ZE GUNNA TURN 'IZ LEKTORS INTA SCRAP-LOOT, AN' KLEANSE DA SECTOR OF 'IZ LEGACY." declares Wurrza.
"Let's get this show on the road!" yells Chapter Master Johnson of the Black Panthers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5gMKzoNYtQ

"We are assaulting the capital of Xaviol here." says Doggfather, "It will be primarily an air battle."
Doggfather brings up the first theater of the battlefield.
"On the ground, Void Guard Armored Companies will start the attack on the spaceport. This will allow us a place to repair and reload mid-battle.
Doggfather moves the holographic displays to the second theater, overlooking a bay.
"Following that, Lady Cott, are your forces ready?"
A small woman holding a servo skull steps up. "Yes." she says quietly.
"Good. You will charge through the bay."
Doggfather moves to the third theater of the battle.
"Following that, we will take the central government center. The Black Panthers will cover the ground. Korst'la, are your men ready?"
"My Fly Lords were born ready. Khodexus is sending in his Strike Wyches as well!" declares Korst'la the Third.
"An' wut about us?" asks Grakgut.
"And You...Deffwotch." Doggfather pauses, "You will lead the attack."
"Wuldn't want it any otha way." says Grakgut.
"WAAAAAAAGH!" yells Wazgor.
"Wut kind uv enemiez shuld we be 'spectin'?" asks Grakgut.
"We can expect the air forces of chaos. But don't worry, Deathwatch." says Walrus, "I'll be there to watch you."

"All right, you all have your objectives, any questions?" says Doggfather.
"Yeah." says Grakgut, "Where's Garo?"
"Somewhere. We don't know." says Inquisitor Dre, "but we know that fool led this attack so he can't be far."
"ALL RIGHT! LET'S GET TACTICAL, MARINES!" yells Chapter Master Johnson, who heads out with the Black Panthers. Some look bigger and stronger.
"Well then! Good luck, everyone!" Korst'la heads to his fighters.
"Pfft! We dun need luck!" declares Grakgut confidently.
>This would come back to haunt him later.
"KROZ TA KROOZA. GET DEM BOMMAS READY, UZGOB!" yells Kroz.
"Roight, boss!" says Uzgob.

As the Kill Team heads out of the High Rollers casino, Boldo begins floating weakly into an alley.
"Wurrza, Skooire Boldo ain't right in the 'sad." notes Wazgor.
"Check wutz rong wit 'is Waaagh!" adds Grakgut.
The Kill Team follows Boldo into the alley, and notes a blue light.
"Got a selection of good things on sale, stranger."

>>18424442
Chapter Master Johnson will always be Sig from the Jak games

Kroz attempts for plasma rokkitz and fails. Wazgor gets calamity vents for his now-overheating weapons. Grakgut orders a meth lab for the ship that will magically create drugs. Wurrza gets a Targeting matrix for the ship, increasing their BS in space. As a team, they get a munitorum, boosting their damage considerably.

"Heh heh heh, thank you." says the Merchant as he walks around a corner.

"I'z gonna find one of dem Weird-Doks." says Wazgor.
"Ta fix Skooire Boldo, roight?" asks Kroz.
"Yep." says Wazgor.

At this point, Wurrza notes the warp sickness emanating from Boldo. Wazgor flies around, until he finds what he's looking for.
"'Skuse me, good...fing. Our Chapta's, uh...squig is sufferin' from some sorta warp muckin' about." says Wazgor.
It looks like a large flat floating polar bear. Wazgor hears a droning in his head.
"Hmmm...yes. Poisoned from warp contact. Not much to do. Your chapter's pet must either live or die based on its own strength."
The polar bear floats away.

Wazgor has no idea what the thing was, but Wurrza successfuly infers that if the Nicassar could not help, then it is cause to be worried.

>>18424544

You know that it's pretty much a direct rip of Sergeant Johnson from Halo, right?

Boldo floats slowly toward the Last Danca.
"'salright Skooire Boldo, you'ze da biggest battroid 'round. Yer almost big 'nuff fer ridin'."
Boldo chirps as he floats down to one of the chairs on the Danca.

The kill team debates ways to fix Boldo as Kroz flies them back to Krooza for last-minute refits.

"Boss! Oy, boss!" yells Uzgob, "Dat blue git sent sumfin' ova. Sez it kan 'elp. I stuck it on da Danca."
"Wot wuz it?" asks Wazgor.
"Dunno wot it wuz, but 'e kalled it...EcksKalibur."
"Wot kinda name iz dat?" asks Wurrza.

Of course, the players stopped laughing at it when I revealed it.

>Excalibur Tactical Laser System: Range 750m, 6d10+10, Pen 10. Upon successfully hitting a target, the TLS will bounce to a new target, requiring a new BS. This can occur up to three times.

>>18424581
Whatever. I played a shitton more Jak than Halo.

The Kill Team gets ready, and jumps back aboard the Last Danca. Shot out once more, they head toward Xaviol. The Kill Team sees numerous Rokk Pods launched, as they take point in a grand formation of Guard Marauders, Tau Barracudas, Dark Eldar Razorwings, and Black Panthers Thunderhawks.

"Oi." laughs Grakgut, "Fink dis counts as a Waaaagh!?"
"Maybe it'z betta den da average Waaaagh, kuz we got da weedy xenos ta do it too." says Kroz.
"Elfdar Dakka, Tau Dakka, Black 'Umie Dakka..." muses Wazgor, "'ow does Garo stand a chance?"

The Kill Team reaches the outskirts of the capital of Xaviol. Walrus flies by in his Marauder AWACS.

"All planes, commence with mission! We're gonna take back Xaviol today!" says Walrus excitedly.
"Hey, if you want use to wait, now's the time to intervene." says Korst'la.
"I couldn't get your own mothers to stop you now, if you xenos even have mothers. All planes, assume attack formation! Take'em all!"

Wurrza attempts to get in the minds of all the fighters, to better coordinate the fight. While he succeeds, he causes perils and causes the Last Danca's controls to warp, causing some trouble. Opening up with ADMMs, the Kill Team slices through the enemy fighters and missile sites, allowing Void Guard armored companies to make their way to the Starport. Wazgor uses the TLS to full effect, bouncing from target to target. After taking down numerous SAM sites, artillery, and enemy Hell Blades, Walrus finally chimes in.

"All enemy units destroyed! We've got our Starport back!" says Walrus.
"Eliminate all enemy elements in the vicinity! We have recaptured the Starport!" says the Void Guard commander.
"Continue mission! Some guys still need help out there!" notes Walrus.

The Kill Team next heads to the bay. Flying over the bay, lightning strikes the ground, as a Warlord Titan teleports down.

"This is Princeps Cott commanding Asterales Lux! We are about to enter the bay and engage enemy ships! Requesting support!"

The Kill Team now flies against enemy ships in the bay while being covered by the Warlord Titan. While the Kill Team use their autocannons, missiles, and TLS to kill a majority of the ships, the Warlord Titan uses its Volcano Cannon to fire at ships. The Kill Team even activates Skwad Mode, calling down a Rokk Strike, and swarming boyz over a bunch of the boats. While performing anti-ship duty, the Kill Team also takes out numerous ECM jamming aircraft interfering with their missiles. As the last ship falls to the Last Danca's guns, Asterales Lux moves into the bay to provide covering fire for the crusade.

"All threats posed by enemy ships have been eliminated! Many thanks to the Deathwatch, the Imperial Aces!" says Princeps Cott.

"Deathwatch, Chaos forces are arrayed around the capital building! Support the Black Panthers! They're taking heavy fire!" says Walrus.

The Kill Team flies low to hunt out artillery and missile platforms. Korst'la the Third, under the callsign Sky Lord One, flies cover against the fighters while the Kill Team takes out anti air guns and saves the rest of the Black Panthers, Sky Lords, and Strike Wyches. Guns take out fighters, while ADMMs and the TLS bounce from emplacement to emplacement. The Kill Team goes from street to street taking out missile batteries while under heavy fire. The Black Panthers realize they are using the capital building as a re-education camp, and Chapter Master Johnson leads his Black Panthers to free the hostages. The Kill Team takes out the last of the chaos emplacements, and pull up.

"Enemy forces throughout Xaviol destroyed! Mission Accomplished! We have our astropathic relay back!" says Walrus.
"Wut da 'ell kuld dey want wit dis place?" wonders Wazgor.

"Deathwatch, Chaos forces are arrayed around the capital building! Support the Black Panthers! They're taking heavy fire!" says Walrus.

Suddenly, something breaks over the vox.
"...are you getting this? It's not over yet..."
"Wot da..." says Kroz.
"Your real battle has just begun."
"AHAHAHAHA! I FINK WE FOUND'IM!" says Grakgut excitedly.
"I tried so hard to free mankind from its false gods. But you kept interfering."
Something appears over the horizon.
"There's nothing left to say." says Richard Garo.

"Unknown aircraft approaching fast!" says Walrus, "IT'S A FIGHTER! A FAST ONE! MULTIPLE MISSILES, EVADE!"

As the incredibly fast fighter flies past the Kill Team, they only catch a glance at it, reading the words written on the side.

Malebolge.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3wEipapHnw

The ADFX-03 Malebolge Jetfighter is a relic of the Dark Age of Humanity, now bent to Richard Garo's will. Containing ADMMs (All-Directional Multi-Purpose Missiles), SWBM (Shockwave Ballistic Missiles), MPBM (Multi-Purpose Burst Missiles), and Focused Plasma Repeaters, and armor to rival the Kill Team's Last Danca, it is a testament to Mankind's technological superiority. But what made the Malebolge Jetfighter so dangerous wasn't the weapons or armor. It wasn't the speed. It wasn't the fact that it was a Dark Age jetfighter. It wasn't Garo's five fate points. No, what made the Malebolge Jetfighter so dangerous was its pilot was a Vanus Temple Assassin, and thus could effortlessly dodge anything the Kill Team threw at him. Burning through 8 dodges a round simply does not happen.

>>18424699
>Strike Wyches

>>18424739
>Those Fate Points
>8 Dodges a Round

The Kill Team opens up with a devastating salvo from their ADMMs, and hurt Garo hard. However, he fires back with his own ADMMs. Dodging, the Kill Team goes for another shot. And they realize how annoying 8 dodges are. Garo dodges everything from ADMMs, to the TLS, to guns, to a Lance strike, to Grakgut's air-dropped GorkaMorka FAEB. Kroz even revs up his chronometron, double-tapping the ADMMs, to do minimal damage to Garo. The Kill Team's inability to dodge, however, hurts them as Garo fires his SWBMs, disrupting the air and preventing maneuvers, and MPBMs, which cause a penalty to dodging. Garo also Evil Furys the Kill Team, damagind their engines reducing their speed from a proud 20 AU to a pitiful 4. Garo takes an engine hit as well, sinking to 21 from 30 AU. The Kill Team dogfight Garo, becoming increasingly concerned as Garo pummels them. While you cannot burn through dodges, the Kill Team eventually realizes that they can burn through his Evil Fate. It's a lucky strike from the TLS that ends the battle.

Excalibur fires forth, slicing through the Malebolge Jetfighter.

"YA JUS' KEPT RUNNIN' AWAY, LOIKE A GIT! DATS WOT 'APPENS TA GITS! IZ GETTIN YER ENJINZ NOW!" declares Kroz.
"Dat's why dey kall us da Last Danca!" yells Grakgut, "Kuz we'ze da last onez dancin'!"

"To think I could be defeated..." says Garo calmly, "Although my rival, you were spectacular. I shall take my bow by opening my heart and revealing my wisdom."
The Malebolge enters a vertical climb.
"My life may be over, but your job is not yet done. It is time for you to meet my teacher, the one who freed my mind." says Garo, "Go to Event Horizon. Meet with Necoho."
Garo sighs, calmly.
"To die without leaving a corpse...it seems somewhat fitting."
The Malebolge explodes.

Some of the Kill Team can't help but salute the explosion. After all, the Ork word for 'favored enemy' is also 'friend.'

"...It's over." says Walrus, "No more enemies detected."
"We almost got krumped, didn't we." says Wazgor.
"Too klose." replies 'Eadmangla.
"Thank you for everything, Deathwatch. It's been an honor to fly alongside you. Walrus out."
"UZGOB, WE MIGHT NEED PICKUP!" yells Wazgor over the vox.
"Uh...me too." says Uzgob sheepishly. His signal is coming from the boats.
"Pliskin, did ya get da Stompa an' da fighta?" asks Wazgor.
"Uh, Titan jus' disappeared, boss!" says Pliskin, "But we got da bitz of dat fighta!"

The Kill Team lands at Xaviol Starport, and performs some hasty repairs, enough to get space-worthy. The Kill Team heads back to Krooza after repairs. As the Kill Team lands to begin more in-depth repairs, a cardboard box walks up to them.
"Awright, boss! 'Ere's da loadout!"

They received 1000 XP, 6 PF, and the wreck of the Malebolge. But the kill team is excited. For only one problem must be dealt with.

Necoho.

>>18424827
Have they met Necoho in person yet?

>>18424845

No, they have not.

They've met Zuvassin, and beat him. He became their dice roller.

>>18424739

Jesus Christ, those are the superweapons from four different Ace Combat games.

All at once.

>>18424855
How are they going to find him if they didn't manage to take Garo alive, though?

>>18424880

>"Go to Event Horizon. Meet with Necoho."

>>18424865

Yeah. They could handle it.

>>18424918
Wait a second, Korst'la Never explained why he rolled with Khodexus!

>>18424960

I didn't forget. However, it was 1 AM by the time we finished. So don't worry.

Double-Feature Evening Bump

Soon we will finally get to meet Necoho.

I need to make something... special.

As for what, I'm not sure.

The gigantic "Thug Lyfe" statue of Gork and/or Mork was a nice (though ineffective gift for Garo). But Necoho will require something different. As for what, I'm not sure. I've only got the tiny bit of information I found in lexicanum, so Orkmas shopping is going to be a pain in the ass.

>>18424809
>Some of the Kill Team can't help but salute the explosion
Except Kroz. Kroz Hated that pointy'eaded coward. He does, however, greatly enjoy the spars with the Lifeguard

Wow.
You pulled out petty much every reference to ace combat and pimps in space I think you could there Shas

I don't want deffwotch to end because it is too funny but I see why it has to. There is just no topping most of what you lot get up to

>>18427129
On my end I'm making a big dark eldar sled more orky to fill it with diggagrots [the orphans]. It still has the dark lances, disintegrator installed, and we've added the Logitek's heavy missile launcher to it too.

It should give us a good amount of dakka against the gawds.

There's also one final upgrade I can apply to a certain explosive energy beam weapon that was once a good quality pulse rifle.... maybe its time.

And the shield-mounted pistol too, perhaps...

There's still upgrades for peoples dakka and choppas I can do. Look at the 'ork upgrades' in ITS and Hostile Aquisitions. Hell half the new guns I've been grabbing are purely so I have something to spend my armorer rolls on.

>>18427129
Just make an even BIGGA bomb to gork and mork
It's right orky dat way

Or maybe a bomb using fungus beer? Or a bomb that sprays squigs around?

>>18429210
Or get Wurrza doped up again and make him WAAAAGH charge it

>>18429217

What exactly happens when you get a drug addict dreadnought?

>>18429217
Because he hasn't come close enough to frying what's left of himself enough as it with perils.

Not that he isn't absolutely and utterly welcome to enchant any of my arsenal. TONS of it for him to work on, if he wants. test away buddy.

>>18430456
Its kinda like in Breaking Bad. you just have to dump the trailer and get a dedicated workshop with a team of chemists. Failing that, we got a lab and grakgut's training grots.

Anyone that rips into Wurrza's armor is probably about to face bursting vats of warp-addled novacoke.

>>18424809

>"To die without leaving a corpse..."
>Garo

An entire year. An entire BBEG.

Just to make a Legend of Zelda joke.
