@Chrononaut Makes you wonder why we even like this stupid setting anyway?

David shut ur entire

Now now, gross is relative.

@ArenaSnow

No, I think it's pretty absolute when it comes to you.

Am I correct in having deduced that Ashav, Madura and Hargjorn aren't inside the Dwemer ruin but instead traipsing about topside?

Sick idea, @Dervish. If I can find a way to get money from my Dutch bank account onto PayPal I'll definitely pitch in (also as a sign of good faith and dedication ).

Hmm. I can totally see Valen get thrown overboard...

@Hellis

Perhaps Niernen and Valen were on a ship together? We could potentially write our (re)introduction as a collab.

@Hank, hop back on only if you can manage two posts per month, at the minimum.

@gcold

Yes, two posts per month is well within my grasp. I'm extremely excited to get back into this and I have so many ideas of how to bring Niernen back.

One idea I would like to use, but I feel I should propose first, concerns the moments immediately after @Dervish's amazing send-off post. I read through Niernen's character sheet again and noticed I gave her a scroll of Fire Storm to use in dire emergencies. My idea is that the pursuing Kamal and their warbeasts caught up with Niernen and surrounded her and she, with nothing left to lose, used the scroll to blow them all to kingdom come when they went in for the kill. After that she would have fled, possibly to Morrowind like Dervish himself implied she might, in which case I'll have to figure out how she ended up with the company again. Thoughts?

I have asked Royal Court Appointed Chronicler @Frizan to provide a summary of events since the siege on Windhelm and I'll use my free time today to go and read back several pages of posts to get a feel for the current situation.

Warhammer 40K: Beyond the Law - A Mercenary Adventure [MATURE] (Open for business, apply within.)

Kaicero watched with idle interest as Nakera initially hooked herself up to the colony's systems until he got bored and started sauntering around the room, kneeling down to inspect Phant's various kills wordlessly. It was obvious the Taskmaster was a highly experienced warrior and a crack shot. The blond aristocrat tucked a rebellious lock of hair behind his ear and tutted quietly, suppressing a pang of jealousy. At least Phant's outfit was infinitely inferior.

The sudden urgent appeal for a hasty departure made Kaicero stand up and turn around, one eyebrow raised at Nakera. The terrified look on her face and the smoke rising from her head bespoke of the urgency of the situation but the message wasn't getting through to him. How, exactly, were they in danger again? Bemused, he kept his eyes on her as she ran to another screen and the subsequent shower of sparks and shrapnel of glass raised his other eyebrow as well. He met Phant's gaze and returned the nod, quickly stooping down to help carry Nakera out of there. Truth be told, he was disappointed -- he had hoped for hours of fun hunting down the pirate scum within the walls of this colony and now all that fun was cut short by some kind of malfunction.

Once on the roof of the colony, however, the gravity of the situation suddenly settled in and Kaicero was glad to hear the news of the shuttle coming to pick them up. Living to kill another day was infinitely preferably to being blown up on some backwater world.

Nakera was taken care of by a medicae and Phant sat down, looking all grim and unapproachable, so Kaicero slumped down in a seat opposite him and pouted. "Shame," he said, looking at the ball of plasma disappearing in the distance as the gun-cutter picked up speed. He sighed and averted his gaze, letting it drift over the other mercenaries that made it out with him. He saw an Eldar, a Kroot, the other human with the enormous arm, and a few others. "New toy, Eldar?" Kaicero asked, raising his voice to be heard over the din of the engines, and pointed at Gisimae's power sword.

<Snipped quote by Hank>

I'd like to say yes, but so far every roleplay I've been in with you had you drop out in the first month or two, if not mere weeks. I personally think you're a great guy and a hell of a lot of fun to write with, but I would like some kind of assurance that if we take you back in you'll stick around. A post every week or two should be managable with your new time frame?

@Dervish

Absolutely, that's manageable. I finished moving out of my mother's house and in with my girlfriend, I've got a steady job and my social life has calmed down now that all my friends are back to college. I really, really want this and I'll stick with it.
