Let's LARP the Emperor's Finest - a wh40k IF

[Longinus]

We should tell Flavion to bring some heavy explosives and a rad cleanser from the armoury so that we may avoid wasting bromethium

This means 2 for me as well

 

[Darth Roxor]

With a little luck, he'll come back with a splinter rifle and daemonic chainaxe as well

 

[ironyuri]

I should remind you all that there's no guarantee Flavion and the two squads you left with him will even find their way to where you are, or that they are even alive (flavion is tho, no guarantees on anybody else)

but then again there's no guarantee that 1 will work either (as roxor pointed out), although 3 most certainly will

you should spend that fatepoint, guys. it's your only hope. trust me on this.

NO RADCLEANSERS

ahahaha root provides the illusion of choice a la bioware.

 

[Darth Roxor]

NO RADCLEANSERS

Splinter rifle confirmed

 

[Hoodoo]

1


ofc

 

[oscar]

2. No harm in waiting (famous last words).

 

[Baltika9]

1.

 

[Azira]

(that's option number 1 for the unimaginative of you )

 

[ironyuri]

cool lets spend all our promethium for dubious purposes

 

[Hoodoo]

how is a fuckhueg explosion of the emperors righteousness dubious?

 

[Storyfag]

2.

This. I'm all for taking action, but it seems like a senseless waste of BROmethium if Flavion can bring us proper explosives for a larger, more righteous kaboom.

 

[Azael]

Yeah, should save the promethium for xenomorphs.

[Ulminati]

It's not like BROmethium is likely to be highly explosive anyway. Napalm isn't. If it was explosive, it wouldn't burn for very long and make terrible flamethrower fuel.

 

[Jaedar]

You know bros, if we had gone and captured the promethium plant we could have had enough of the stuff to blow up our ship and the aliens.

Just saying.

It's not like BROmethium is likely to be highly explosive anyway. Napalm isn't. If it was explosive, it wouldn't burn for very long and make terrible flamethrower fuel.

Actually, promethium is very explosive. It's kind of magical in it's application. It's probably because it has one name, but it refers to the w40k equivalent of napalm, raw oil, rocket fuel, and so on.

 

[Ulminati]

Raw oil, rocket fuel and napalm all make for horrible explosives. You have to get some pretty exacting temperatures, pressures and oxygen conditions to make all of it convert into a gas fast enough to give you a concussive blast. When fuel "explodes", the actual explosion is relatively minor in terms of destructive forces. It just looks werey impressive with the flames afterwards.

Even if we attribute some degree of magic to bromethium, it's still going to be a highly inefficient way to deploy our resources. If we can procure proper explosives in a timely manner, the bromethium is going to be a hundred time more purging if we spray it on witches and mutants than if we try to light it all up at once.

 

[Kayerts]

I'm sure I'm missing something, but it seems like there is no immediate danger to warrant the use of a fate point. We're not under attack, our remote squads don't appear to be in distress, and the Enginseer thinks he can help us. A suicidal hullghast-witch team in the hold is weird, but if it points to anything concerning, I have no idea what that'd be. 2 seems best.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Kayerts brings up a good point. There isn't even any visible immediate threat to warrant EXTREMISM

 

[Jick Magger]

2. We shouldn't piss away our fatepoints the moment we're met with any vaguely tough decision. Only use them when we're really backed into a corner. Let's just hope this isn't another bug-hunt.


What did we do to get hooked up with this chicken-shit outfit, again?

EDIT: Just out of curiosity, root, will there be any situations in which a fatepoint won't be able to save us? In that could we potentially make a decision which'll be so phenomenally bad and suicidal that even the fate point won't be enough to bail us out?

 

[Computer Gamer Refugee]

2

There was an armory back there. We should loot it and see if we can find some proper high explosives. Flamer fuel would be terrible for that use.

 

[GreyViper]

3 Sure wish again we could have a melta as standard weapon, it would solve so many problems. But yeah lets hope armory has something we can use. I think we are going to need the Promethium for the black ooze.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Oh just BTW guyses, I think you shouldn't pay the armoury thing this much attention. It's a gag sort of thing, I doubt there's even any shit to be found there.

 

[Jick Magger]

Oh just BTW guyses, I think you shouldn't pay the armoury thing this much attention. It's a gag sort of thing, I doubt there's even any shit to be found there.

Plus I doubt this is like Fallout 3: chances are everything of worth's been long-since looted by muties and anything that is left isn't in reliable working condition.

 

[ironyuri]

Fuck. Ok, flopping to 3. Don't say I didn't try t save us!

 

[Longinus]

Root is either baiting us or there is something seriously wrong with my understanding of current situation. Anways, I am very curious how we can die by waiting for other guys (though I guess we could die by exploding prothenium), that's why I am sticking to my previous choice.
