The Ruinous Powers (40K CYOA)

[lightbane]

AE

We have to make sure what our favored deity is. We don't want to end up with these "Chaos Undivided" losers, balanced but boring (and weaker). However, wouldn't rip off their hearts to make a bloody sacrifice be something more related to Khorne? I guess it's some sort of elaborate trolling. Also, go for the techpriest, these tentacles mechadendrites will do wonders.

Lastly, I say you don't have to bother with untasteful/extremely graphic violent scenes, these add nothing to the story. Besides, we're The Codex, the den of refined and monocled gentlemen, not a guro/anime fansite.

Yeah, we want to go straight for the Devour Soul, all the way. Fuck balance!

That said, I do vastly prefer Slaanesh over Nurgle, if only for the smell factor.

Either way divided or puts it off, we don't lose a single gods blessing, well we shouldn't. That or we lose both or die.

B>C, I want my space AIDS incubator.
C, let's go see Hooker next, good seconds are hard to come by.

 

[Jester]

B - call him daddy
E

 

[Undead Phoenix]

E - having a possible way of communicating with this Sorcerer is an ace up our sleeves. No need for anyone else to know. Fuck the gods.

C

 

[Nevill]

My understanding is that the sorc can contact us through many vessels (presumably, through any of the pirates on board), not through this woman specifically.

[Undead Phoenix]

Probably, but it's a unnecessary risk to assume that. And Nuffle always punishes unnecessary risks.

AC

We know too little about this sorcerer for it to be more than a gamble. Leaving her alone doesn't sound better either but the sorcerer was giving a strong "with us or against us" vibe.

While I want to understand Hooker more we don't want to support her. She's deeply respected by the troops and actually competent what will make our coup far more difficult than against this hated knucklehead.

Edit: This is the codex. Nobody cares what you write.

 

[Commissar Draco]

A cause we should not go jack of all trades and do support our Patron Deity... then C to have some hot lesbo sex more handle on the crew. Remember its Chaos ship so we have to get good care of ourselves cause none else wil... We should really not talk to Detox it was clear he work for competition, we learned nothing, wasted time and could talk with Tech Priest and Hooker instead.

AC.

 

[Esquilax]

I am sad that the voting bloc seems to be in favour of abandoning Papa Nurgle's warm, loving embrace, especially when we met such a sweet, loving member of the family who was kind enough to offer us a gift despite the fact that we had never met before. Slaanesh revels in pain and agony, whereas life with Nurgle seems so much brighter. Oh, and Cheesecake, are there any cameras in this room?

I guess the logical move is to see the Sarge, seeing as she seems to have a lot of respect from the men, but isn't as savvy or as dangerous as Tempestus.

Well, I didn't want to make a choice between the Gods so soon, but if Nurgle followers insist...

Last seen about a week back, so coming soon™, I guess.

[Cheesecake]

I'm here now! I had my prelims this week so I was busy but now Christmas break's here. Sad to say I've lost interest in this LP and the other one too, so I'm putting them in hiatus 'til I find out what to do with them.

Though I do have some plan for another CYOA.

 

[Baltika9]

While I'm afraid two CYOAs will be a bit much for one author to handle,

I hate being right, God damn it. Hope you regain your muse, bro.

A and C

Yesssss.... The Prince of Pleasure coos. Invisible, writhing energy laps at your nerves, shocking your mind with immeasurable pleasure. Far away, you feel heartbreak, and hear distant, mourning wails.

In the puddle of blood, you swear to yourself that you look much more beautiful than before. Distracted, you cut yourself. You feel it. Though still hardened, your hide has softened. You revel in the pain! Playing with your knife, you begin the intricate and perfect heart-ripping ritual.

------

Your immaculate hands are finally clean. Damned blood, how those Khornate brutes appreciate it you'll never know. Unless, of course, you'd like to try some blood rituals. Anyway, you continue your way towards the barracks, passing the combat servitors and smitten wretches, before reaching the blastdoors of the training area. You hear lasfire crackle and sizzle, and thunks as the mercs practice close quarters combat.

The door opens. You enter with a flourish, flooding the air with your dominating presence. The men watch you, agape, and one is knocked onto his ass by an uninterested servitor.

"Get the frak back to training!" bellows a commandeering woman. Sergeant Hooker. Powerfully built, her scars are shown proudly in place of medallions, and her spartan attire reflect her lifestyle and the way she leads her men. She shoots you a stinging glare.

You pass the training mercenaries, equally torn between looking at you or staying focused. They manage to maintain the latter. You meet face to face with the sergeant. You put on your most seductive smile and give her a languid stroke on the cheek. She keeps her tough facade, but you feel her heart racing.

"Yeah? T-The frak do you want?"
