Re: Contraband Items Roleplay Action 2

by senera2000 Wed Oct 25, 2017 12:41 pm

Senera takes out his combat knife and kneels beside the body.
He then takes a maggot with the tip of the blade and examines it more closely, even using the 4x zoom of his helm, wondering where these damn maggots came from. This stinks of Nurgle.
Senera replies to the old man, "Life is the Emperor's currency, and it shall not be wasted. He may yet live, and I am interested in who or what did this."
He then says another prayer to the wounded man and stands.
"Now, would you please happen to know any people with medical expertise? and the location of a medical station?"

Booker stays back, not wanting to get in the way of the other combatants. He looks around to make sure he doesn't have any backup coming around the corner.

by Muffin Heretic Fri Oct 27, 2017 12:31 pm

The Group:

Rolling for who goes first:
Slaith: 6; 5
Arthur: 6; 1
J: 5
Zielley: 4
Arbites: 2

Slaith atk: 2
Slaiths Machete does no damage to the Aribites, but it does get his attention to the two bloodlusty cultists behind him.
Arthur atk: 5
Arbites def: 1
The Arbites, who's attention is not with you right now doesn't react to you slicing him open. Blood gushes from the penetrated armour on his chest and you slice open both of his legs bad enough for him to stumble again, at this rate, he'll bleed out.
J atk: 4
Bones crack, the Arbites falls over forward from the amplified wounds Arthur inflicted by now.
Still breathing, the Arbites struggles.
Zielley atk: 6
using the opportunity, Zielley bows down, kneels into his back and cuts the Arbites Throat beneath his helmet. Bleeding him out quickly.

To Booker, the street is completly empty, however, it is almost certain that soon, more Arbites will come arround and swarm this place. He can see a terrified Fee stepping out of her shadowy corner again, with the newly bought dancers behind her.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Senera:
The maggots are just that, regular Maggots, crawling arround due to the low sanitation levels.
They are actually saving the mans wound from infecting, as they only eat dead tissue.
"Anyone on a higher floor will be able to point to a station, if you can pay for this man, I can go get someone to call for help" The old man says.

by Segovax Fri Oct 27, 2017 11:35 pm

Slaith is put off as his blade is unblooded and so in a fit of rage slashes over and over at the corpse

by senera2000 Sat Oct 28, 2017 1:55 pm

"Thank you..., but before that, how much would it cost to pay his medical bills? And how would one earn money here?"
Senera asks the old man as he very carefully goes through the dying man's belongings to find anything.
Senera then pauses for a bit and takes out one of the bottles of Alcohol that he grabbed from the ship.
"How much would something like this sell for?"

by **Apothecary Meros** Mon Oct 30, 2017 4:52 pm

"Fee, get your girls moving, we shouldn't linger for much longer." Booker orders to them, with an air of urgency about his tone. He kneels down to take the Arbitrator's shock maul before he leaves.

by Norabder Mon Oct 30, 2017 6:25 pm

Well... that went remarkably smoothly.
*turns to fee*
Bookers right we need to move right now.

by Muffin Heretic Wed Nov 01, 2017 6:03 am

Senera:
The dying man has nothing of value on him, only the clothes he's wearing.
"I'm not a doctor, I've never been treated, so I have no idea." the man laughs, then looks at your botte.
"well, that's actually pretty good... don't think it would work in a fancy environment, but there's bound to be some addict with medical knowledge arround. Not that I'd know but.. fuck it, you really won't just kill that guy huh? alright."
The old men then walks along the wall for a bit, torwards you, since the dying man leans onto the wall, the old man looks at you.
"Er... heh... I know someone, gimme a moment."
he looks a bit out of breath, puts his weight on his little walking stick and almost falls on the ground.
His walking abilities are a poor display, but eventually he manages to go past you and leans onto the wall again, slowly moving along the wall. Eventually he shouts:
"Evelyin! Where the fuck are you? It's not gonna kill ya!"

Group:
Fee doesn't hesitate and leads you on, back the way you came from.
Slaith and Zielley stay behind for a moment, the former punching holes into the corpse and the later eating some of the dead Arbites Flesh as well as looting the corpse.
Trough the creaking door, up the stares you move.
Zielley and Slaith catch up to you.
Arthur, Booker and Fee in the front, the girl crying in her piss still lying where she used to, but the Obscura dealers have vanished.
The Dancers all dawned some brown rag cloaks to hide their features and abilities, follow Fee.
J waited for her sister and Slaith at the back of the group.
You move up the stairs quickly. The stink of piss is horrid but so far there's no Arbites coming this way, however, behind the closed door in your back, from beneath the stairs, you hear people shouting into voice enhancers, searching for you.
Zielley puts the Grenades into her drug satchel, takes out a lighter and lights her Obscura cigar.
The Shouts behind you acellerate your walk upstairs, one after another.

by senera2000 Thu Nov 02, 2017 12:58 pm

Senera lightly taps the wall that the injured man is lying on and listens to the echo by keeping his ear to the wall to try to figure out if there are any secret passages connected to the wall and taps the ground with his foot as well to see if there are any underground sewers, while he waits for this 'Evelyn' person.

by **Apothecary Meros** Sat Nov 04, 2017 6:29 pm

Booker steps aside, making sure a Frag Missile is loaded. "You lot go past, I'll keep these guys busy." He grins manically, setting himself up in a crouch, aiming at the ground at the bottom of the staircase.

by Segovax Sun Nov 12, 2017 5:46 am

Slaith follows the majority, still pissy about not killing the arbites

by Muffin Heretic Tue Dec 05, 2017 4:14 pm

Senera:
There are rooms beyond in both cases.
Neither is news to you, as there are going to be layers of living quarters and walkways in all directions.
A young woman, dirty and malnurished, steps out from one of the nooks, she looks at you terrified.
The old man speaks in an annoyed tone: "Get some medic here, Mister Supersoldier is going to pay in drugs."
Evelyin scrambles away as fast as she can, almost on all fours and leaves into another nook.
Shouts emerge from there.
A shivering man comes outside, his clothes are far less dirty than the ones of the people arround but he looks about as starved.
Jerkingly he limps torwards you on a peg-leg.
"I-I-I"
He points at himself.
"Used t-t b a medic."
he's not terrified, but clearly brain damaged.
In the back you can see many haggard people scrambling to find supplies.

---

Booker:
The group moves on upstairs, you hear the door at the top open. You don't look up, the door beneath opens up and a number of people stream in, one of them is a well armoured Arbites but the rest seems to be ordinary low-level civilians.
The Arbites looks at you and moves. You can only see his head and shoulders in the crowd, but he could be drawing a gun.
Already, Shouts arise from the people that spotted you, more people will soon flood the room.

---

Slaith and Arthur:
You move on ahead, Zielley stands back behind as Fee opens the door for you.
Out here, the few people you can see trough the veil of mist and smog are running arround, you can even see messed up cripples and addicts scramble like insects from dark shadowy corners, away from you into all directions.
No Problems yet.
Fee leads you on, running.
The yellow lights flicker past you.
Somewhere above you, stomping heard trough the ceiling, are people running with heavy boots.
You reach the narrow walkway and soon the staircase trough which you can see down into neverending nothingness and pipes. and hurry upwards, this time though, Fee stays behind you two.
both of you know, as soon as you're on the top level again, all hell will break loose, you'll be in crowds, there will be large chunks of Arbites and possibly worse up there.

by senera2000 Wed Dec 06, 2017 12:11 pm

Senera turns to the medic and studies the newcomer.
"Can you heal this man?", Senera asks him motioning to the wounded man.

by **Apothecary Meros** Thu Dec 07, 2017 3:55 pm

"Fucking civilians." Booker hisses, knowing he can't willingly fire a missile into so many innocent people - or, at least, people more innocent than himself.

If there are any places to hide like slits in walls or doorways, he slides himself into cover there, hoping the civilians will swiftly part ways.

If no such cover is available, and the floor below where he stands is not so far down that he will die, Booker vaults over the walkway and braces for landing, so that he may scurry into the depths and escape, for now.

If neither is a viable option, Booker will retreat up the stairs and follow the rest of the group, hoping that if the Arbitrator is armed, the renegade's armour will be enough to preserve his life.

by Norabder Thu Dec 07, 2017 8:50 pm

*looks at the others *
Do you reckon we'll be able to get lost in the crowds or will we have to fight our way out?

by Muffin Heretic Sat Dec 09, 2017 9:08 am

Senera:
"A-ha- ... Ay, Sire."
He steps over the horribly wounded man and examines the wounds.
A young boy, smelling like piss brings a bottle of dirt-like liquid to the 'doctor' who opens the bottle and spills it into the wounded mans open guts.
The young boy scrambles away again, for a skeletton-like creature comes along, you can't decide wether this was even human at some point but your visors sensors tell you clearly, that it's a subhuman creature, not xenos.
The maggots crawl away, appereantly the dirt-like substance is something they dislike.
immediatelly, the haggard addict doctor beginns his actual work of putting organs back in place and sewing the man back together.
The whole deed looks unsanitary, unsave and really painfull.
"Wha-Wha-Wha. - why ha-ha- help dis th thr do-no-good?" the doctor mumbles to himself, as his needle swings come painfully close to pierding the wounded mans organs.

Booker:
You run up the stairs and at the same time, you see Zielley charging down.
You almost run into each other, but she jumps past. Durring that tiny timeframe, where you saw her up close, you noticed the bloodshot yellow eyes looking more clear and certain than usual.
You hear the loud bang of a Bolt exploding against metal as you charge up, another one, soon follows, this one sounds horrid. The sound of Human Flesh and bone beeing torn appart, soon followed by a shriek of pain and fear by a voice which you don't recognice.
You reach the door, open it up, noone arround. The silence is disturbing and if it were not for the sound behind you, you'd think that the entire city somehow suddenly became devoid of human life. Another Boltshell explodes behind you, it's sound drowning out the sounds of shouting humans.

Arthur and Slaith:
Slaith seems not to care about what Arthur says and charges up torwards the sound of many people talking and heavy boots moving fast.
Fee hides behind Arthur and J...
Arthur looks arround: J is missing.
Fee clearly reckons with a fight, and you guess, that it will be unavoidable, with the crazy khorne-mad Ex-Guardsman Slaith, charging up like that, holding his armaments in plain sight.

by **Apothecary Meros** Sat Dec 09, 2017 3:35 pm

Booker risks peering back around the corner, to see where Zielley was going. He assumes the others would be displeased if he let one of their allies die.

by Norabder Sat Dec 09, 2017 6:38 pm

Ok, looks like we're fighting our way out....
Best news I've had all day.
*draws his sword and holds it two handed in front of him as he advances up the stairs.*

by senera2000 Sun Dec 10, 2017 5:42 am

Senera stands next to the wounded man and the doctor, and takes a look around, examining his surroundings again.
Senera then takes a look at the wounded man's face.
After a second or two, Senera says to the doctor, "Do-no-good? Explain."

by Segovax Mon Dec 11, 2017 2:34 pm

Slaith looks for something to kill and pay his blood debt to his lord

by Muffin Heretic Fri Dec 15, 2017 4:50 pm

Booker:
You turn arround in time to see Zielley ripping a civilian into pieces and the Arbites drawing his shock maul and stricking out at her.
She moves arround rather fast and manages to bring the head of a Civilian she appereantly took off with her shiv between herself and the shock maul.
You can feel the impacts shockwave on your face.
The Crowd runns like crazy, some back out, some up torwards you, but all away from the two clashing aggressors. Trough them, you can't see wether Zielley was hit or not.
Every bone within you tells you to run away together with these civilians.

Senera:
"Y-Y-Y" The doctor starts but the old man interrupts him:
"shut up you stuttering idiot." turning to you he informs you: "Your doctor is a drug addict, I'm guessing this man here tried to take away his shit."
The doctor nods, not looking at you.
You're surprised as your Auspex informs you of a sudden new Signature next to you.
You turn your head to see J standing there, looking at you: "What are you doing here?"

Arthur and Slaith:
You step out onto the large main street.
Fee hides somewhere behind you in the dark.
About a dozen armed military looking men march torwards you from the right side in a quick pace.
The ship is torwards left, where you can see the Arbites from when you went downwards stand, appereantly his headache lifted but he's not looking into your direction.
There's hundrets of civilians between all of you, but they all flee from Slaith quickly, shouting.

by senera2000 Sat Dec 16, 2017 12:13 am

"Ah, ok," Senera says to himself at the Old man's words.
Then he looks at the child and replies, "Standing."
He then again looks at the doctor's procedure.

After a few more seconds spent realizing that she probably asked for an explanation of the events leading up to his presence at that specific location, Senera looks at the child and continues, "I said my prayers to the Holy Emperor at the Cathedral and with the absence of heretics to cleanse, this seemed to be a better way to spend my time."

He then takes a look around to see who else is present and again keeps his eye on the doctor's procedure trying to learn something of his technique and know of the patient's condition.
Then after another minute or two, Senera looks at and asks the child "What are you doing here?"

by **Apothecary Meros** Tue Dec 19, 2017 5:21 am

He tries to think logically for a moment. With Zielley assisting, Booker ought to be able to bring that arbitrator down with his own looted Shock Maul - and he can't exactly just leave Zielley here to die in the slums of a hive.

"Touch this and I'll skin you like a grox." Booker scowls at nearby civilians, drawing his Shock Maul and charging down to help Zielley.

by Norabder Tue Dec 19, 2017 6:24 am

Alright, I was hoping to be able to sneak some of the way. This nutjob is going to make life difficult.
*follows Slaith, making sure Fee is able to keep pace.*

by Muffin Heretic Fri Dec 22, 2017 2:38 pm

Senera:
The doctor seems to know what he's doing but every second movement also looks like he's not in controll enough to not kill the man he's treating. It looks more like he's fixing some broken doll, rather than modern medicine.
"I came to fetch you, the others screwed up and we're making a run for it, if we're not fast, they'll leave us behind."
After some time and watching you watch the 'doctor' perform, J asks again: "so what is this better way to spend time? Watching this idiot prolonging the deathstruggle of the other idiot?" She Points at the 'doctor' and his 'patient'.

Booker:
dice rolls:
Zielley: 4
Arbites: 3

As the crowd thins and you near the two, you see that Zielley is beating the Arbites on his head with some bloody stick of sorts. It seems to do nothing but piss of the Arbites, who flails but hasn't been able to hit her so far. It seems he's got blood on his visor.
From behind, trough the open door, you can see uniformed men in large numbers charge torwards the open door.

Arthur and Slaith:
Rolling dice:
Slaith: 3
Arbites: 6
Slaith charges at the Arbites, who - just in time - turns his head and sees Slaith trying to stab him, he retaliates with a shock-maul hit to Slaiths head which sends Slaith flying into the crowd.
Thankfully, the Arbites seems not to have spotted you or the hastily cloaked dancers with Fee yet and if he did, he did not draw a connection between Slaith and your group yet.
He walks torwards the lying Slaith who jerks but doesn't get up, his head bleeding horribly.
From behind you, the armed, uniformed men hasten their pace. You are not entirely sure but they probably at least know that Slaith is not operating by himself.
On the bright side, the way to the dock is clear now and even better: every civilian is either running torwards it, or in the other direction, you won't stick out if you run with everyone else. At least not right away.
