you do realize that any melee weapon is also by defition tools, so same applies by any enemies within range too! It's the ultimate risk and reward type of play xD


Risk & Reward play generally involves a reward that's higher than the risk, not the other way around ! xD
:3 I suggest an addendum to apply said rules to ANY tech device or tool in 20 ft of Medaira~


It'd be a bit too early to TPK the party I think! xD
I raise a petition to apply the Ork misfire rules to any device or tool supplied or made by our Tech Priestess Medaira ~
"Handling dangerous warp artifacts directly is a job better suited for a Ministorum Priests." Adrianne whined, and she knew that her complaint was at least halfway justified.

While a trained psyker like her knew far more about how relics touched by the warp functioned, she also knew for a fact that daemons found the souls of grumpy old ecclesiarchs far less palatable than that of a psyker. If anything, while a psyker might be compared to daemon lure, a priest was the opposite.

Yet despite any misgivings she might have had about the idea, it seemed that their part time techno heretek was actually doing a good job with making the box!

"I've prepared THE BOX!"

Adrianne looked it over. She wanted to point out a flaw with it, but it was actually a reasonable build!

"This might work, in case things go awry!" She muttered with a faint tone of disbelief in the back of her voice. She turned towards the tome. Holding up her gloved hand, she formed her fingers into an intricate, arcane gesture. Then, she muttered a low chant, and for a moment it was as if the breath of everyone in the room was stolen from their lungs for a moment as a faint, barely visible barrier of air or some warp addled sorcery surrounded the tome; flickering in and out of existence at random.

Then one of her servo skulls snaked down from the air above; its spine-like metallic tail curling around the tome before carrying it through the room and depositing it into the waiting box prepared by Medaira. Adrianne then cautiously applied the faintest bit of her telekinetic power to close the lid from a distance and depress the buttons to activate the sealing process with a hiss of escaping air from the makeshift container.

"It should be sealed, but I recommend people keeping as great of a distance as practical from the box during transport." Adrianne started to explain, as her second servo skull floated towards the box; the two servo skulls locking their spine like tails onto the box and using their gravitational repulsors to carefully lift it off the table.
"In fact, with the way items touched by the warp may work, it would be best if you refrain from even looking or thinking about the box or what's within as much as possible. Emotions and thoughts can be as much vectors for chaos corruption as physical touch."

For a moment, the ashen haired psyker paused; before smiling encouragingly at the group as she held up a finger.

"But don't worry, that's just to be safe. Emperor willing, I suspect this tome is only a threat if anyone tries to use it." She added, before nodding towards Andromedai.
"It has been secured. Just make sure no one shoots down my skulls."

Adrianne watched the brief carnage unleashed by the newcomer with amazement, and the way she effortlessly dispatched the chaos spawn. Truly, whoever this Maya was, she possessed great power - and not just that, but an expert control over it as well.

But she also sensed another presence within her also reacting to Maya, a greedy desire that quickly flashed by her.

"I want that one!" The same deceptively sweet and wicked voice echoed through the back of her head. Adrianne shook it, tilting her head as her violet eyes drifted to the side to peer into empty air.

"Beat it. You are not invited." She muttered. The voice did not say anything more, at least for the time being. Yet Adrianne could feel its presence growing stronger. Whatever Maya had done, the newcomer seemed to have awakened a devious interest in whatever entity was stalking her from opposite plane.
But that was an issue for a later time. Adrianne marched on, walking to the rest of the party and felt a measure of relief to see Stukov mostly intact.

"I never thought I would see a Sister of Battle use herself as a shield to protect a guardsman." Adrianne commented to Stukov with a sly smile.

Yet said smile would vanish later when they uncovered the fake governor's office. Adrianne peered down at the book indicated by Andromedai.

"It is without a doubt touched by the warp." She stated, tilting her head as she watched the tendrils move about the book. Indeed, it may be an understatement, Adrianne thought. The thing was soaked in it!
She raised her staff, muttering a brief incantation of warding before tapping the edge of it against the book. A brief surge of vile smoke puffed up from the point of contact, dissipating into the air and bringing with it a foul smell of burnt cinders.

"If this cult is Tzeentchian in origin, the book could contain vast troves or secrets; or an endless web of lies and deceptions. It could even contain both." Adrianne began to explain.
"I can use my power to ward the book, but it perhaps for the best if no mortal flesh touches this thing until we are in a safer location. Medaira... "

Adrianne turned to raise an eyebrow towards the tech-priestess; fully expect to find Medaira already digging up the floorboard to get at the circuits below or disassembling the governor's desk or something.
" ... do you know the protocols for containing dangerous warp artifacts?"
Not like a certain psycker that's seeing demons all the time -3-



The tingling sensation of Adrianne's psychic powers had urged her to take cover behind one of the pillars, and she was happy she did when the fiend's quills shot out across the room like a hail of flachettes ripping through furniture, daemon remains and taking chunks out of the pillar she had been hiding behind!

"That thing is armored like a tank!"

Adrianne exclaimed as she watched the bolter rounds bounce off the creature's carapace and do little more than leave a few dents and cracks. If they were going to take this thing down, they would need something on the level of a heavy bolter or be able to find its weakspot!

On the bright side, it also occurred to Adrianne that she had just the thing for this issue.

"Medaira!" Adrianne called out, before pulling one of the two krak grenades from her belt and throwing it towards the tech priestess - allowing her psychic powers to lift the grenade mid-throw and carry it the rest of the way to Medaira.
"We need it on the warpspawn before Stukov manages to fulfill his duty to the emperor!"

Adrianne called out to Medaira, as the roughly cube-shaped anti-tank grenade slid into Medaira's hands/mechadendrites/recepticles.

Privately, a part of Adrianne's more sensible psyche inquired about the wisdom of handing out such a high grade explosive to a clearly unstable character like Medaira. But another, more reckless part of Adrianne's sub-psyche argued that if anyone knew how to wield an explosive properly, it would be the explosive-obsessed tech priestess. If anything, Medaira couldn't possibly make the situation any worse than it already was! Well, unless she accidentally managed to hit Stukov with the krak grenade.

The Psyker made a mental note to steer clear of Medaira's line of fire and watch for any errant anti-tank grenades.

Here are more 40k memes to pass the time!


Adrianne: "I name this maneuver: Turkey Shoot."
Adrianne could feel the blabbering voices at the edge of her mind before she even saw what came next.

"Throne of Terra, great... !"

She groaned, before the wild mass of malformed limbs and daemons spilled out into the room with them in a blind, reckless charge! Adrianne had enough experience with demons that they were especially fond of swarming and overwhelming their foes with their speed and strength!

Adrianne whirled around to face the door, taking a few steps back and towards a pillar for cover as she raised her staff - pointing it at the daemons' entry point.

"Back!" She proclaimed, channeling her psychic powers into a telekinetic wave. Crackling violet tendrils lashed out from her staff and throughout the room as the psychic wave rushed through the room! An otherworldly, inhuman laugh accompanied the wave; echoing in the minds of any mortal that heard it. The wave hit the daemons like a mighty gust of wind, pushing them back; even slowing time slightly in the affected area.

The wave only slowed the chaos spawn, but it was enough to completely halt the progress of the smaller horrors; who now were pushed back and effectively blocking the path of the larger chaos spawn. It didn't seem that the daemons had taken any damage from the sudden wave, as it was little more than a hindrance to them. But it had sapped their momentum, leaving the daemons currently stuck in the doorway, their charge stopped!

"I have them pinned - now do your thing!" Adrianne called out; her eyes glimmering with dancing violet light as she channeled her powers!
