Fellowship of the Dice

Again, Haxtes fires at the same enemy with his Hellgun.

Haxtes opens fire on the raiders, focusing on one of them hit by Vogel. His full auto fire manages to rip one of the raiders in the chest, a rather large whole opens in the things chest and it topples over dead from the barrage.

Damien splits his mind, which proves less effective in one regard than he expected. He continues to try and boil the blood of the leader, and manages to, just barely keep his focus and weaken the leader of the xeno. He ends up putting a good amount of focus into healing Nemidia and the woman, ear missing, face bleeding, wakes back up. She's laying prone on her back, with one hell of a head ache, but she's returned from the brink of death and is ready for the fight once more.

Nemidia, laying prone, Sword and Jericus...

Sword roars out and swings the sword in his hands toward the Dark Eldar before him. He hopes this ancient artifact still has a keen blade. While, at the same time, his psychich blade continues to swing at the same creature if it survives the first attack, the next creature if not.

Damien continues to 'squeeze' and the blood inside the Dark Eldar leader begins to boil. The xeno turns to look on Damien as his heart starts to burst and he topples to the ground clutching at his chest. Blood bursts from his ears and mouth as he's suffering under the strain of Damien's power.

Sword hopes the ancient blade is still sharp but first he has to hit, and his swing is far off, and he misses the nimble xeno with the large blade. So he plunges his psi-blade into the chest of the creature slaying it with the power of the mind blade. It screams in some other langauge and slumps to the decking dead.

Nemidia, on the ground, and Jericus...

Once more Jericus fires his shuriken pistol, trying to clear out the eldar from in front of him so that he can move and help the others.

Nemidia wakes up and shakes off the pain, "What in the Emperor's name just happened?" She grabs her fallen weapon and peeks up from behind the cover to scan the field.

Meanwhile Jericus is letting his Eldar Shuriken Pistol speak for him as he sprays the flechettes all over the place. The burst rips through two of the Dark Eldar finishing them both off with a fine display of marksmanship or just pure luck. Either way he'll take it as the western half of the hold is cleared out of foes for the moment.

That doesn't last long as two more Dark Eldar move into the are and open fire. Jericus takes a blast of the splinter rifle along his arm blasting through his armor and into his muscle underneath. Haxtes manages to keep behind the cover avoiding the shots.

In the other half of the hold one of the Dark Eldar draws his blade and moves to deal with Sword, but he trips your second Krak Grenade trap and blows himself to pieces on the spot!

Raising his splinter rifle to his shoulder another fires on Damien, "Take out their pysker!" He lets go a hail of projectiles that rips the cover that Damien and Nemidia are using into little more than wire floor grating. The thing is full of holes now, and barely useable as cover. During the barrage Damien takes several splinters through his legs and body and its starting to add up on the wounded pysker.

Two of the raiders, and the strange mutant thing Marbrosa give it their all to take Sword down. With monoblades, and razor sharp claws the three of them slice into Sword. Sword's armor holds for the most part, but where his armor on his left arm is mostly nothing but tatters he is wounded by the slice of the sword, lightly wounding the pysker. He then ducks under a shot from another Eldar Raider who fires at him in the melee.

A last raider opens up, a full auto burst into Cimbria down the passage. Her cover crumbles under the hail of the fire, and she's slain by the sheer volune of splinters that fill her chest and legs. Bleeding out, she manages to tap her Vox and coughs through the pain, "I guess Jericus, we'll never get to have that romp I always...cough cough cough... wanted..." she passes from this life to the next. Molochan loops around the structure and recovers Cimbria's powerful rifle.

Vogel fires off a psykic burst into one of the Dark Eldar burning the enemy's shoulder and arm.

The Acolytes...

"Is that it!?!"

Sword laughs through his helmet. The massive acolyte swings the new blade around at the abomination before him and attempt to strike the head from the body. If it is not felled, he repeats with his psychic blade.

If, by chance, the creature is defeated, the invisible blade swings at on of the nearby Dark Eldar spawn instead.

Nemidia swungs her shotgun at the Xenos attacking Sword. She aims down her sight and fires a shot.

Nemidia takes aim at the Dark Eldar with the splinter rifle firing at her and Damien. She fires the combat shotgun but the blast is just to the side and misses her deftly moving target.

Sword takes the Luminous Approach and slices into the mutanted Dark Eldar thing, the weapon hacks into it, but doesn't slay it. As the beast howls and recoils from the blow Sword brings his near inivisible Psychic blade around and lops the creature's head off. "Is that it?!" he asks.

Haxtes, Jericus and Damien...

"Stop antagonizing the bastards, just kill them!" Damien keeps behind his quickly disappearing cover, hoping the rest of his company can please just end these bastards now. The xenos geniuses seem to be finally understanding the true nature of tactical combat - kill the cleric! Well, he has a job to do, and he's sticking to it.

Hopefully for the last time, he reaches through his connection to Akirvas, willing his heart to burst and his body explode with the fell power of the Warp. With completely different flavor, he sends out another nova of healing energy, keeping the group alive and kicking. And shooting. And punching. Whatever works.
