Sorry, this is a bit out of nowhere! There's a few little things that need to be done, just like, little team shuffles. Drop-offs and pick ups and such and it's not really fair to make that a whole episode in of itself.

So I'll do this, and then do a draw thread or a Q& A or something.

roll a d20, whenever you are ready.

*

dang! I'll be right back!
sorry!

*

Rolled 8

Okay! Back!
You rolled a 17, right?
Okay!
Now roll initiative!

that's 1d20+7, and I'll do the same!

*

Rolled 5

Rolled 16 + 7


You've got the drop on the SAPP SOLDIERS with your temporary fuckhuej team!
Whatchagonnado?

*

HOLY HELL!
These 5 really were on the tracks when the pain train arrived.

GATO uses the new SHOCK GLOVES
IACOBUS used CLEAVE

3 down, 1 injured

*

Dang!
Close combat is awesome, but it does put you closer to the dudes with shotguns, which REALLY HURT up close.

Keep at it! Any plans? Wanna get Boone in on this?

*

Let's call in our sniper on the uninjured one.


You put a call through to KLON, who dutifully places one between the eyes of the soldier, boiling his brain.

We'll heal up when the combat is over.

KILL. MAIM. BURN.


The reamin 3 round on the remaining SAPP SOLDIER, hitting him so hard he ceases to exist.

*

KLON! Forgot her name for a moment. Thanks KLON!

Mmmm delicious overkill. Let's heal up our friends. How many PEELZ we got (and would we rather use those or psy powers?)


Excellent, yessssssss.

Health update for our team members? How much of their hp are they missing? And how many peelz do we have left?


Health is as follows

Boone: 90/100
Gato: 127/300
Myers: 105/120
Iacobus 60/100

You have between you and GATO 17d10 woth of PEELZ. and as BOONE you have 2 PSY POINTS that can be used to HEAL

You can spend BOTH points in one roll to heal more than one person, or use them seperately if you fear failure and don't want to waste both.

You also have a shot of SLAUGHT, which restores max HP

*

I say we give Iacobus 4 PEELZ and use a psy-point to heal Gato (how much does it heal approximately, again?). Mostly since even if blew all of our pills on Gato it probably wouldn't full heal him.

We may want to swap him out when we get where we're going, just to give him a chance to rest and recover.

Actually come to think of it...if someone's out of the party, do they heal over time or something?


A person out of the party heals over time, but it's slow. Jacobi would be back to full stength by now, maybe.

Healing restores 50hp, but more if you roll super good (I think I've been making heal harder than I should, sometimes - sorry.)

SLAUGHT can bring someone back from 0 hp and that includes IN combat, so you may want to keep it handy.

How many random encounters would there be if we headed back to the mining facility to fix the teleporter? If we head back there, we can leave the odd man out back with the rest of the Edges on the way.


There is two per direction you head in, but Iacobus will be dropping off at the shuttle crash regardless, as its on the way and its the current RALLY POINT

*

Rolled 3, 4, 10, 7, 10, 1, 10, 5, 7, 9, 1, 2 = 69

Hmm. Iacobus will apparently be in the party the least, but is also the least likely to survive another random encounter without healing.

We should probably use 3 PEELZ per party member, and a Heal on Gato on top of that.


Okay, first the pill rolls.

*

Rolled 2 + 4

Rolled 3, 4, 10, 7, 10, 1, 10, 5, 7, 9, 1, 2 = 69

Hmm. Iacobus will apparently be in the party the least, but is also the least likely to survive another random encounter without healing.

We should probably use 3 PEELZ per party member, and a Heal on Gato on top of that.


Okay, first the pill rolls.


okay, that's 17 per person

BOONE and MYERS are fully restored
Iacobus is on 77/100
GATO is at 144/300, now it's PSY-HEAL time!
GO BIG!

*

Rolled 9 + 4

that's not big at all


Wanna try again?

*

I agree; we should swing over to the RALLY POINT, drop off Gato and Iacobus, and pick up that stupid asshole Jacobi again. Also, we should save the last psy-point; I really don't like the idea of running around on empty like we have been.


I need to leave soon (back in 3-4 hours), so ima just whip you over to the RALLY POINT.

You can see many conversations are happening at once.

GATO and IACOBUS are accepted her, because MYERS insists on it and he's the gorram captain.

You can just swap out from anyone here and proceed or you can attempt to unlock the two locked characters here (Neunenhoff, Yaroslava) it's up to you.

You have time to think about what you want to do.

*

Okay, I gots to go to bed, so someone remember to archive this so I can see what happened tomorrow.

ALSO CF, PLEASE TO BE NOW MAKING VERLOREN HOOP, YES?


Okay, and I'm back.
Also, Verloren Hoop has been getting more love than anything. Doing what I can.

*

You try to ask NEUNENHOFF (Krieg) what is wrong and she doesn't even look at you. YAROSLAVA, uncharacteristically distressed takes you to one side and explains.

(animmoted) to save on blahblahblah screens)

*

Sounds like a job for Girly Group Hug!


You pat your hands on both YAROSLAVA and NEUNENHOFF's backs and try to intital a group hug.

It does not happen. You're pretty sure if NEUNENHOFF uses the tone of voice she used on you just then again, you'll actually lose a psy point.

*

Ask if she knows more detail about "the incident we cant talk about because her sister presumambly died but i dont want to make presumptions" and if anything has happened recently to remind her of it other than it being the anniversary today.


Yes, her sister died. Seven years ago today. YAROSLAVA is pretty sure she wont co-operate until she can resolve those feelings.

*

Take MILLY and JACOBI lets rumble them OLD SCHOOL


Seems like most people still wanted to keep MYERS.

MILLY will come with you because you gave her the CADIAN CLUB, but it WILL end this episode because I'll have to draw a new sprite set for her.

I'm cool with this, though.

Maybe we should get Iacobus to talk to her, considering his own recent loss.


NEUNENHOFF is not so rude as to get physical with IACOBUS, but she does ignore him.

*

Take Milly


naw I'm joshin'

you know to ignore me.


I know to take partial advice from you. Also, it's quiet here. Ima wait a bit, tho.

*

It looks like were going to have to talk to Neunenhoff ourselves. Apologize for the forced hug earlier and ask her if she is alright.


You begin to talk, but find yourself unable to really make yourself clear. It's not going anywhere.

GM: I'll let you know, the 3 Tank women all require items from around this map to become available as team mates. You don't currently have NEUNENHOFFS.

*

I still feel we should resolve the issue with Neuenhoffe. How would she like to commemmorate her sister´s death? I assume, being a Krieger, it would involve burning heretics and digging trenches.

Failing that, what would Raege do?


Raege is a COMMISSAR, and were she with you, you could just get her to OUT-SCARYWOMAN NEUNENHOFF or brandish a revolver at her and she would (bitterly) be co-operative. If YOU try and wave a gun at NEUNENHOFF, she will probably rifle butt you.

Ok, can we get to look around the surroundings and see if there's anything we've missed?


This area is clear. YAROSLAVAs stomach rumbles.

*

Check INVENTORY

I want to get a view of our surroundings as well. Does "on this map" mean the rally point or the entire level? And what does the level encompass?


You check your INVENTORY shuffle through your pockets, garnering particular notice from MINHELM and NEL. The MAP means the entire surface area, every place you've been outide of the MINING FACILITY where you started.

Does the shovel leaning against the wall somehow help us?
Got that Kriegerin a shovel, Kriegerinnen dig shovels.


The SHOVEL has been abandoned, as it has been discovered that it is not possible, as people thought, to tunnel there way to SAPP's HILLTOP FORTRESS

*

Tell her what better way to remember her sister than with the killing of heretics for the Emperor in her sister's name.

That might make her more willing to do some killing.


NEUNENHOFF makes a calm but not friendly motion towards you and is blocked by YAROSLAVA, who gives you a slightly pleading look.

*

Give moist and delicious sandwich to Yaroslava.


Give SANDVITCH to YAROSLAVA


YAROSLAVA accepts your SANVICH and gratefuly and noisily consumes it. You have greatly improved her mood. You have unlocked her as a team mate. (pros an cons available on request)

*

ZOYA YAROSLAVA
HP: 200
ARMOR: GOOD
RANGED ATTACK: Best in game! Punishing damage to muliple opponents. Limitless ammo.

LIMIT BREAK - Digiweapons.
YAROSLAVA points at a single target and activates one of digiweapon rings on her hands, doing the damage of an inferno pistol.

PROS: Carries a bunch of RATION BARS in spare. Very strong. Personable. Bodyguard.

CONS: No intitative bonus, not good at brain stuff, not many skills.

*

Did we ever get that weird ass grenade ID'd? One of these rough types ought to be able to do that.


MINHELM has a very MILITARY MIND and is able to identify the weird grenade. She nods approvingly.

*

Show her the cards and coins we picked up.

So what does that grenade do?


MINHELM notes that it looks like you have the full set of COINS and most CARDS, but that technology is a bit beyond her. Outside of warfare.

Female Vostroyan ? What next? A female Space Marine?


I assumed there were more regiments than just the firstborn, it's just that the firstborn were the most famous.

*

What does she think we should do now?


MINHELM has enough about her to offer some advice.

*

Upgrade?! Upgrade! Get the upgrade!

Then take Yaroslava and Jacobi.


Let's do that then. I can't believe I forgot about the psychic hood upgrade.


Mistakes happen.


NEL attaches the new upgrades to your COMPACT LASPISTOL and PSYHOOD.

This halves your LASPISTOLS ammo making it only 4, bu it does mean its actually not shit now.

Can we get a team concesus?

*

Myers and Yaroslava.


Our mind bears a slightly-less-great-than-usual pain!



Myers and Yaroslava sounds good.


Voting for this as well.


Yes, why not. But i am ashamed that I just jumped in here for thefirst time so I go with what I know.


GATO nods and walks over to CALLIBAN, who is receptive and JACOBI who, oddly, is too. Guess he likes the cut of his jib? Iunno.

IACOBUS takes you aside and, with a good natured assures he's seen NEUNENHOFFS type before, as a younger man doing a pilgrimmage through Krieg. She'll be tough, but he'll have more answers about how to help her next time you come through, depending on how long you take.

YAROSLAVA, her confidence restored, and no longer self concious about her height, puts her head gear back on, collects her weapon and stands with you and MYERS.

Back to the MINING FACILITY!

I assume, right? We done here?

*

One last thing: I forget who's all there and if any of them have any first aid skills, but GATO is pretty beat up, and should get some help, even if the stubborn old goat will try to refuse it.

Outside of that: onward to the MINING FACILITY.


GATO will have his health slowly build back up as he waits there, he has a lot of health, so it'll take a while but it'll work out in enough time. IACOBUS grants bonus' to healing both PSY and NON so, that'll help too.

Returning to the MINING FACILITY!

*

Let me guess, we lost two letter grades because we decided to prod the grumpy Krieger?

We lost points last time because of that too.

Oh hey Fagot, what happened to that prison warden dude we rescued all the way back in session 1?


VILMOS?
He's hiding in his secret hidey hole within the facility with a bunch of chips and porn. He's done with this shit.

Don't bother looking, incidently.

*

YAROSLAVA is CUTE
can we touch her COOL HAT?


BOONE cannot reach that high.

Man, it's been ages since you guys saw LEO, LOCKE and C-16.

That might be fun next time!

I wonder how that giant heretek SPOKANE is getting on...

*

Awesome quest as always Fagot.

Minor nitpick, is there any way we could get an infodump site on somewhere like 1d4chan? The quest is getting so monstrously huge that it's hard to keep track of everything and everyone. Even the archives are becoming hard to pick through.


No one on 1d4chan seems interestted by it and I think I got locked from there because I kept changing my name from "Mr Culexus" to "Colossal Fagot", in their data.

I will try to make a collected info dump that is updatable if no one else does, though. Hopefully it won't take too too long.

*

You know what I say? Ask for a piggy-back ride.


Unlike C-16, YAROSLAVA would do this as she loves do show off her strength.

*

>No one on 1d4chan seems interestted by it

Um... 1d4chan isn't some authoritarian collective. It's just a wiki. If someone wants to post stuff there, nobody is going to stop you.


I'd feel like an ass if I did that. I'm not really that well liked, and it'd feel like trying to cram my stuff along side other, far more revered quests.

I must think about this.

>I'm not really that well liked
Gee, maybe it's your constant pity parties? I didn't realize anyone disliked you, but now I'm seeing why.


You're right. I'll nut up.

>NEUENHOFF's sister is dead
Who else from the Ragged Edges is dead?


At this stage of the story?
Redding, Branz, McClannahan, Blaske, Tornic of those that are in any way established.

*

This episode went much longer than I intended but it remains a short episode, so sure it can be a draw thread of sorts.

Now's not a bad time to ask questions either.

The votes are in by the way, the next 40k quest I run after Boonequest will be CUDDLESQUEST., which will be short and not very particularly exciting, but could be fun all the same.

*

Awesome

Just curious Colossal Fagot
have you tried doing something on the Fantasy Universe?


You mean a comic? I've done one in A fantasy universe, just not the warhammer one. For that, I just do very occassional fan art.

Generally my fantasy work is Bok the Neutral and its universe, which is where the second post boonequest quest will be set. Might run that on tumblr or something.

I am also drawing of the gaming team we had the first time me and my chums played WHFRP

*

In terms of questions, I'm curious about the fates of some of the characters from that Call of Cthulhu game that you posted pieces of on your deviantart account.
How exactly does someone end up as a "double zombie," or "meat confetti," or the other bizarre deaths your characters apparently came across?

And if you're taking drawing requests, what about a mind flayer taking very careful measurements of some people's heads?


A double zombie is when a woman is first poisoned, then brought back from the dead by arcane means, tries to kill her husband, is shot in half by a billionaire then her two halves go their own ways. The top trying to grab and bite people and the legs charging around tryig to impale people on it's shattered spine.

Meat confetti is what happens when Garfield H. C. Marmaduke the Third gets his hands on you.

UNLESS you are Benny Bosconovitch, at which point you punch Garfield (who is basically a demonhost/weredemon) so hard you knock off half his health, (18 damage, which would KILL most CoC characters) and he leaves you alone.

Here is a basic drawing because I don't really like Illithids.

Have we put our coins in our thing yet?


You ain't.

*

Draw Boone being a bad juggler.


Boone once saw Cuddles throw 17 balls in the air and mind juggle them in a figure 8. She wanted to try it herself and started with one ball. Turns out that was one ball too many.

This made my night, CF.

I'm very excited for CUDDLESQUEST.


It might be kinda dull, truthfully. But it will present its own challenges. When a new recruit is being givenaa tour of the ship and is brought to your chamber, what do you do? Hide? greet? intimidate? offer lap-sang-soo-chong? Only you can know this.

Proof you're doing 40k a favour with everything you do, Lexus: //www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/jimquisition/6281-Crying-Through-The-Laughs


Couldn't hoit.

*

How old are the various characters right now?


Around the time of BOONEQUEST?

Boone is about 36, Leokadia is 26, Nel is 37, Gato and Calliban about 50, Myers and Minhelm and in their early 40's.

Raege would be in her 90's I guess.

The Black Library novels have taught me not to worry too much about the age of 40k characters too too much. Its hard to keep track of.

*

itsjuvenatsiaintgottaexplainshit.jpg

I've heard very late M41 (around the same time as Ciaphus Cain), though I could be wrong.


Yeah, RE is very late M41, to the point where the Battle of Lost Paradise and Raeges retirement occur in M42.

I think VH is set earlier. I'm not sure, as I ain't the GM.

*

How much /tg/ canon exists alongside RE? For instance, the Angry Marines plainly exist, but how much of AM canon (Knights Inductor, Desert Fangs, et al) is there?


Less than in Dranon the Professional, which is pretty much HS40k continuity. mexican marines, Lazy marines, reasonable deamons etc.


The Angry marines in RE are the slightly more srs'd ones that feature in Gannadened "The Life and Death of John Fuklaw", much like the revised logo as appears on his hat in that pic someone posted recently.

Besides them, Ragged Edges is basically there as aplace to converge all the various guardswoman-chans and then try and make a story out of it and have some fun. I have asked, and have been granted persmission to include a former Icelian as the ships astropath.

I've got to say that Boone struck me as much younger. Not telling you how to write your characters or anything, but I gathered that part of the idea was that she was terribly sheltered and pampered by her upbringing before her nature as a psyker came to light. Has she been in Reage's retinue for a long time now, or was she just sheltered for an extraordinarily long time?


Boones physical aging process will be explained in due time. As for her personality, that's basically just how she is. She went from being sheltered and pampered to be slightlyless sheltered and pampered. She still wants to believe in the stories she used to read and in love and in the goodness of humans, so she does still come across naieve, to some.

By this stage, she has been with the Ragged Edges for about 11 years. If I had tried running BOONEQUEST set earlier in her time with the edges it just wouldn't have worked. She only has the pathetic psy powers she has NOW because of Cuddle's training and practice.

It occurs to me, this may fly in the face of earlier time continuities but whatcha gonna do.

*

How strong could Boone potentially get? Is this near her peak, or does she still have a ways to go?


Not much more than what we see here. She is too much of a slave to her emotions to truly excel.

The 1d4chan page for Dorf Quest removed all instances of the name "Cultist". The edit log claimed that a user with your name did it. Was that you?
//1d4chan.org/wiki/Dorf_Quest


Not me. I loved that cultist appeared in that. People have been known to imitate me over the years.

I last saw Boone quest in Ep 4....

I HAVE NEVER BEEN ON WHEN IT HAPPENED.

Sheds tear


if you're on DA, I will give you a heads up next time.

One last bump before autosage.
Favorite character to write?


Tough call. Probably Steerpike.

No no, Cultist already *is* a reverse Boone.

Think about it.


In basic ways, yeah.
