Gameplay: Skorgulian

He manages to pull one of your arms away from his windpipe, sucking in a gap of air.

Kyle's up.

Im going to quick draw my bolt pistol and half action aim calling shot left foot.
BS-49+30 (point blank) +10 (half action aim) deadeye shot and sharpshooter no penalty for called shot
Need-89
Roll-05 Hit
Damage- 1d10+5 tearing pen 4
Roll- 8
Total Damage- 13 pen 4 to the left foot

"Dumbass be careful! By the Throne you could've hit me! and Stop your whining you had that coming you little bitch! I told you to start talking!"

You are engaged in close combat (remember you physically attacked him last turn) so the point blank modifier does not apply. That is only a 59, although a roll of 05 obviously still hits. Congrats, you blow off his foot, and he screams in pain. He is unable to wriggle free of Cristo.

Minx is up, make an Inquiry test with a +10 modifier if you want to begin interfacing. This is a full action.

"Give unto me your secrets, tech priest," I continue to mutter, my eyelids fluttering slightly. "I desire the knowledge that you would keep from us in your death."

Inquiry: Fel 19 + 10. Total: 29. Roll of: 19.

Success, with one degree.

You feel a jolt as the connection is established, and your right leg twitches in pain. Binary sequences stream past before your eyes, and the tech-priest's name suddenly pops into your brain. Adeptus Minorus Adolphus Cato. The sequences continue on, jumping and spiking in your vision whenever the body twitches or moves...

(This is gonna take more than one turn).

Brad's up, Str test as usual.

Strength test roll: d100 roll of a 76. fate point re-roll (my 2nd one) is 007: 3 degrees of success.

"I seriously suggest you start talking. I'm getting tired of this game."

Roll 1d5-3+SB damage

roll d10: 10 (Righteous Fury) roll of 15 to confirm. 2nd roll is an 8 (down to 4). total damage is 6.

Plus strength bonus of 4 for 10 damage. You tighten your choke hold again and he finally goes limp.

Kyle's up.

OUT OF CHARACTER-Brad isn't rightous fury always a extra d10 or is it different for unarmed combat?
IN GAME-"Damn it these idiot mechanicus need to find lackys that aren't pussies and won't die during questioning."

OOC: good point Kyle! I went back and looked, and it says

"When you roll a 10 on any die (this includes a result of 10 on a d5, even though the number is halved)...roll an additional d10 and add it to the damage total."

So the damage actually is:
5 - 3 = 2
2 + 4 (SB) = 6
6 + 8 (Righteous Fury) = 14

You shouldn't have brought that up though, he was only unconscious before, now you've snapped his neck

OOC: Good job Kyle.

Fuck you Kyle

OOC: Oh stop complaining! This suddenly makes the knife so much more useful

TP:
As you sift through the first layers of data, images began to flash through your vision. A view of a darkened gantry, the gloom punctured by muzzle flashes. You feel the phantom weight of metal in your free hand. A small woman arcs off the gantry in a graceful somersault, her ballistic trajectory intersecting with your aiming point, but the metal slips away.

Then, you open your eyes, and see your own face crouched close over you!

Data floods into your consciousness from both bodies. Overwhelmed by the contradictory nature and sheer volume, you struggle to find meaning in any of it. You are drowning in sensory input.

That's gonna be a Fear (Willpower) Test at -10, but it sort of counts as mind-control/mind-affecting, so you can add your bonuses from mind cleansing against it.

OOC: I wasn't complaining! I thought it funny! Besides, I was going to say "Oh well, you guys killed him."

In Character: WP 46 + 20 (Templum Conditioning) + 10 (Mind Cleansed) - 10 (Test). Total: 66.

Roll of: 29.

Success by three (3) degrees.

OOC: Kyle, how do you expect to have enemies survive "questioning" when your "questioning" involves wrestling armed men and high explosive rounds?

Also, I will be making all rolls on my end for now, as you guys have passed every. Single. Test. For. The. Past. Three. Pages.

(And I just KNOW you read that line and mentally put a pause between each word )

hey, I've failed tests. I just manage to pass them on my re-roll

TP, your next inquiry test (to gain more specific and/or relevant information from the Tech-Priest's mind) has failed with a roll of 95. Would you like to spend a Fate Point to re-roll?

OOC: Orson Welles, Citizen Kane.

Boom i know where that slow clap is from.

Above...
Antoher Magos leans forward, his voice a high-pitched mechanical whine "And what do you hope to discover in the Zone? Have you uncovered some ancient text or lost database that describes its secrets?".

Fate Point reroll: Inquiry (trained): 28.

Reroll: 77.

Failure by 4 degrees.

Scratch one fate point.

-Too the Magos whom just questioned me-
"I have no ancient text, or secret insight, or lost database. but i have a will to seek and search. A vessel of willing servants to the Impirume. All i need, too conduct a search for lost relics, and secrets lost unto man, is a team of servant too the Omnissiah, whom will catalog finds, and investigate the "satellite arrays broadcasting the creeds"."

-Then too all Magos present-
"i have come simply offering a chance to mount your own investigation though me. please consider our proposal, and just think "how has the broadcast arrays stayed operational for so long ""deserted and unmaintained"" ". imagine the possibilities of what could be done with an array that can broadcast non-stop across such a large area, if it can be controlled....."

i then respectfully bow, and gesture too take my leave, and wait to see if they pursue my comment or dismiss me.

Miles, well-played! Allrighty! Now I need you to make a couple of rolls representing the negotiations with the AdMech (Peter can also make these rolls, since he's with you). Each one you pass gives you a +10 to ONE Influence Test later on, with an additional +5 for every degree of success. You don't have to try any of these, but you can take:

A Barter Test at +10.
A Deceive Test at +10.
A Forbidden Lore (Adeptus Mechanicus, Archaeotech, or Ecclesiarchy) Test at -30.
A Logic Test at -10.
A Scholastic Lore (Cryptology) Test at -30.
A Secret Tongue (Tech) Test at +10.

Once you've taken as many as you want (be careful, as failures will cause penalties), you can then make up to 5 Influence Tests on your base of 40, but any bonuses you earn above can only be applied to ONE of these tests each. (You may make each of the following tests multiple times to acquire duplicates, but each attempt counts towards your limit of five.

Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator Expedition - Influence Test at +0.
A team of tech-priests equipped with advanced survey vehicles and equipment, led by an Explorator Magos. Sufficient to survey the major features of a planet in three months.

Adeptus Mechanicus Mech-Wright Detachment - Influence Test at +10.
A team of tech-priests specializing in equipment maintenance and repair, led by a senior Tech-Priest.

Adeptus Mechanicus Reclamator Vessel - Influence Test at -20.
A cruiser-sized ship and a large team of Tech-Priests specializing in the recovery of ancient technologies, commanded by an Arch-Magos Reclamator.

Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii Cohort - Influence Test at +0.
A regiment-sized force of augmented Tech-Guard, led by a junior Magos Militant.

Adeptus Mechanicus Warship - Influence Test at -10.
A Mechanicus frigate-sized vessel in good repair, commanded by an experienced Magos Militant.
