Seum dismisses Alaric with mild disdain. He approaches the captain.

"Captain, I would like to review all flight plans, schematics of Cerixa VI, and any resemblance of a dossier given to you by Jermaine. If none are available, please proceed with me to an area for consultation."

Normaly we would just virus bomb the planet and be done with it, but they produce large amounts of fuel for our navy and therefore the planet is not expendable." He lights a cigeratte.

"Captain, who is on your breacher team? Being as so much population in those 6 city blocks, I am expecting very close quarters and I'd like to know the men I will have to depend upon when the shit hits the fan."

I'm assuming if you're talking in a normal voice that we aren't able to hear you at this point. We've moved away (see Joe's last post). Did you mean to talk to the troopers? If you don't give a shit about what Seum says and RPing that way, cool with me, but the post seems inconsistent with well...everything. I'm assuming you're hungover from Halloween.

I think what thrym means is, sense we moved away your last post should have made mention of you following or moving over to the captin and seum to ask your question.

Or at least told Seum to fuck off about talking to the troops and followed out of persistence.

Trying to find out which troops to talk to. Presumably the breecher team is the one most likely to be the bravest, and the people I would want to count on in a fight. I'll be able to straighten things out tomorrow evening most likely.

If we are talking about a squad (like 8 ) then its not too hard, but I was thinking we had more (like 50 or so) - I'd like to narrow it down a bit that go haphazardly to the closest guy and say "Who's leet here?"

Also, Im not sure where I got 6 city blocks.

i was kinda curious about it.

Tomorrow morning i will progress the storyline, if noone has anything else they want to add or do at this point. If you have something you want to do and are pressed for time, just let me know here and i will wait. But if there is no response by tomorrow morning I will keep going.

Is each storm trooper trained exactly the same, or do some specialize. for example - sniper training, demolitions, melee, etc. Each one obviously has a minimum amount of training in each, but even Navy SEALs have people specialized for specific tasks

7 of the 10 are almost exact duplicates of each other. 2 of them carry heavy weapons, in this case flamers, and the captin hellfire pistol and sabre, the normal troops carry hellfire guns. None of the weapons really require special training. All of the stormtroopers are topnotch marksmen, and the flamers are just point and spray. So any of them can fill any role with in their squad.
In a larger platoon of troopers or in the imperial army their are many specialized roles, but this is just a 10 man infantry unit.
so yes there are snipers, demo teams, melee, etc. just not in this unit.

Alright, I am going to try to interract with them and see if I can work out something like thrym suggested, but from the descriptions I am getting, it seems like they are more or less all the same. I think I am going to go with the one who seems the eldest of the 7 to be second in command.

the HW guys are out b/c they are going to be needed to focus on laying down the fire. the captains already captain(duh).

ok, interact away.

wes, its only going to a take afew minutes ingame time before they can supply you with the inventory. it should be done before krig is thru pillaging the weapons lockers. so let me know if i can supply that now or if you have more questions/actions before that time is up.

krig were you ever able to DL copies of the books?

nope

might want to look for those, i can send em via AIM if you need, otherwise you will have no idea what you really just found.
the game is called Dark Heresy

I'll look it up tonight.

So where does the ship dock next as I plan on jumping on to the RP at that point in time....Also when I do jump on I apologize for making any possible mistakes in advance as I am not as familiar with this particualar RP world. and anyway mistakes can be editied Also whats with the low RPG activity...cmon noobs participate lol

I've been swamped lately, so I apologize for Seum's slow pace. Also, should I be taking that broadsword joe?

Nah I'm just messing with ya'll but I just need to wait for Thaizi to advance the plot to where they refuel so i can appear in the RP

sounds good silver just make ur character via the character generator and link it in the character thread if you have not already, and DL or buy the books so you know whats going on. I will make sure i am in vent tonight to talk with you about some stuff with the game and your joining up. Dont worry about the mistakes neither krig or thrym are very familar with the world at all, I can normaly tell what they are trying to RP and just go from there when they make mistakes like "chancelor" or "6 city blocks"(i think i corrected this one so you wont see it in the RP thread).

Wes the equpiment krig/alaric found is my gift to the two of you since you all did not buy anything before leaving. There is armor for both of you and various weapons, The flail is a more traditional arbitor weapon, but that does not mean you can not use the greatweapon. Decide between the two of you, but i assumed krig was going more ranged and you were planning to play a melee style character

Yeah I dl'ed the Rulebook last night and have picked most of it up pretty easy

see if you can figure out where your starting path tranch war vetern comes from, i can not find it in any of my books but will continue looking. I just need to know what it adds to your character RP wise.

Can't find it but according to char gen it does this: +1d5 Insanity points. Gain Search (Int) as a starting skill. Gain the Hatred (Mutants) and Light Sleeper talents.

I am planning to play melee. Krig, let me know what you want and we'll divy it up.

ranged initially, melee later. I have a lot of early ranged feats (or whatever they are called in this game).
