Oh boy...that was awesome.
So the Angels of Shadow Librarian Vindician (myself), an Imperial Fist Devastator who only mentioned his name once (Matt) and an as-yet-unnamed Apothecary from the Shadow Moon chapter (Jordan). I'll just give a overview of what happened.
- Sent to investigate ship that broke quarantine for possible genestealers
- go to bridge, no power
- find engineseer...nearly shot Jordan
- make engineseer turn on power
- return to bridge. No longer alone
- grab nav data, leave. melta bomb on door as boobytrap. First kill(s) to me
- time to return to thunderhawk. Odd feeling in my brain
- genestealer swipes at Jordans arm. I shoot it dead.
- hear noises of things. Jordan screams in rage to scare them off (rolled a 01 for intimidate)...it doesn't work on them
- SO MANY THINGS
- throw frag grenade...hit something
- keep running, now carrying engineseer (known as little man)
- Devastator catches up, Apothecary caught by...OH GOD EMPEROR IT'S THE BROODLORD (transfixing gaze or something)
- I keep running, devastator shoots at broodlord, hits Apothecary and knocks him over. At least he broke the gaze.
- brief skirmish, Apothecary gets away (wounded) Devastator takes on broodlord
- more running. Get to last T-intersection. Cast Avenger to the right at Unfettered...realise it's a heavy flamer. The right is now clear. Run left to Thunderhawk.
- devastator nearly bites it by broodlord...then places a bolt into the beast's throat
- I open airlock. Nearly dead Devastator is sucked towards us
- he gets up, runs the last few dozen meters as pressure is normalised by docking t-hawk. chased by one last 'stealer
- I shoot. Bolter jams. Given apothecaray's bolter. JAMS. Use my bolt pistol-JAMS. Draws force sword...genestealer behaded by angry Apothecary with a combat blade.
- on T-hawk...beaten, bloody, missing an eye and ear (devastator) but alive. Mission success...compromised vessel blown up by security ships. Back to our ship to heal and prepare for the next mission
