Rosenkrantz 35

Rosenkrantz 1:
	Rosenkrantz_GM	IT IS THE 41ST MILLENNIUM...
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The Wrath of Igneus has had a mutiny. A mutiny that you instigated. It is only a matter of time until Spacehulk becomes aware of your involvement. But until then, you have been granted access to the vessel under the guise of aiding against the mutineers.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Several boarding parties were allowed in, with the Consequence's officers and their party being allowed to enter the bridge of the Wrath of Igneus, where Spacehulk is coordinating his crew's response to the crisis.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The Lord-Protector, however, joined the bulk of the men in a separate group of boarding parties which were sent to respond directly to the mid-upper deck mutiny, lead by some of the men under the Wrath's Bosun.
	Makh_Chomun	Makh leads by example, he is at the horde of his Armsmen and House Guard. The only way to truly describe his appearance among the small army of naval troopers is magnificent. His armor practically glows with inscribed writs from the Dynasty and the written word of the God-Emperor, which compliments greatly the grapnelhawk that perches on his shoulder. His personal sigil as ordered by the...
	Makh_Chomun	...Lord-Captain Wilhem can be seen brilliantly from the single besagew adorning his right.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Claudius, the House Guardsman selected to form part of Father Calvin's protective retinue sticks close to his new master. He mouths a prayer to himself, looking cautiously at the vermin Spacehulk calls his crew.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	"Mr.Spacehulk, it would be most beneficial to or efforts if we could use your ships comms to contact The Consequence and secure additional relief." he says this, bowing respectfully to Ringmaster
	Calvin_Colonel	places a hand on his shoulder and motions for the guard to wait. Calvin's armor does, in fact, glow. It is alight with luminous heraldic images of the Emperor and St. Drusus
	Rosenkrantz_GM	"Should have brought them with you... Captain" Spacehulk says, irritated. He turns to his comms station, "Hail their ship, and patch them through" he commands, nodding you through.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	motions Josef to join him at the comms stations, he then gives the personnel manning the station a dazzling smile "My friends, my friend here has special access to assets o our ship, so if you would please allow him to operate the comms we can begin reclaiming the ship immediately."
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	waves Josef over to the station as Spacehulks personnel step aside
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The comms staff look at eachother, and then back to Spacehulk, who evidently is under enough pressure as it is. They don't bother him; they step aside.
	Baine_Mort	stands there waiting for his orders, his bolt pistol in his holster, his shotgun in his hands at rest.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	{Rogue Cant} +Choman, we will begin our operation to disrupt the defenses of the bridge momentarily, Proceed to the bridge, break through the defenses, and rendezvous with us .+
	Josef	joins his Lord-Captain at the comms station.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	quietly motions Josef to come close and says quietly {Rogue Cant}"Disable their ability to send out a distress signal as discretely as you can."
	Josef	[Cant] "As you wish."
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The Lord-Protector transmits a response. The noise that filters in from the background betrays the fight they're nearing. +Affirmative. Beginning now.+
	Josef	connects his MIU to the console and starts to work.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	then strides to the center of the room and raises his arms "And now gentlemen, a speech!" he says dramatically {Rogue Cant} "All armed personnel aboard this bridge, as soon as we receive the all clear from our Master Josef, we will proceed to disrupt the defenses of this bridge, so pick your targets and find cover quickly. Our goal is to disrupt and survive long enough that our dear...
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	...Lord-Protector can breach this bridge and secure it Emperor be with you. HURRAH, HURRAH,HURRAH"
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	makes this "Speech" as dramatic as possible, throwing in swinging arm movement and stern faces
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Your men appear to understand, going as far as cheering along at the end.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	However, the change in speech appears suspect to at least one of Spacehulk's lieutenants.
	Josef	starts to disable their systems without alerting. Chanting prayers as he works
	Rosenkrantz_GM	This doesn't change, and is in fact exacerbated once the comms systems are shut down.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Josef does succeed in doing so discretely, with no alarm going off.
	Josef	[Cant] "My Lord-Captain, it is complete."
	Rosenkrantz_GM	However, a small rune notifying the change appears briefly on the console screen. And to the attentive lieutenant, it is evidence enough.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	{Rogue Cant}"Open fire."
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Claudius grabs Father Calvin by his robe, and dives into cover behind a targeting module with him, simultaneously firing at the young officer manning it, killing him instantly.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	As the missionary involuntarily falls to his position of cover, rounds go off all around the bridge, as the Consequence makes her intentions known, and Spacehulk's men respond in kind.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Soon, the bridge is engulfed in a bitter firefight.
	Baine_Mort	raises his shot gun and opens fire on one of Spacehulks armsmen, killing him.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	draws his Beautiful Hellpistol,opening fire at the nearest Comm personnel.
	Josef	swings with all his weapons and hits with the Eviscerator. He slices the pirate's head off.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	uses the intense heat of the hellpistol to roast the poor soul alive, before diving for the nearest cover
	Baine_Mort	rolls into cover next to Calvin.
	Calvin_Colonel	rises up and ignites his flamer - Space Hulk and five of his men are set alight
	Baine_Mort	"Having Fun yet Calvin?" Mort says to him.
	Calvin_Colonel	doesn't seem to notice Baine's comment "Death to the heretic! In the Emperor's name, let none survive!"
	Baine_Mort	"Well I guess so." Mort says to himself.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Spacehulk himself is caught in that cone of purging flame, his left arm, face, and leg covered in burning promethium.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	He roars like a mad, wounded beast, behind cover, while shouting orders and obscenities alike.
	Calvin_Colonel	"REPENT, HERETIC!"
	Josef	runs up and cuts off the arm of another vermin in his way.
	Baine_Mort	opens fire with his bolt pistol, his shots don't do much due to the cover protecting his target.
	Calvin_Colonel	keeps dousing the enemy with burning promethium
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Two of the slaver crewmen are engulfed utterly in the holy flame, their screams a horrifying reminder of what it means to defy the Emperor. Another two run out of their cover, having caught fire, in a desparate attempt to aleviate their condition.
	Calvin_Colonel	"Behold! The true price of turning from the Emperor's light!
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Desperately, they fire back at your positions. Each time, they fail in harming you at all. The confusion is palpable, and Spacehulk has a hard time rallying his men.
	Josef	hops behind cover and starts moving up to his prey.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	engages in a firefight with one of the defending armsman, but after a back and forth exchange, Friedrich manages to get a solid hit, Sending the man to his death.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	+Makh, where the hell are you?+
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The Lord-Protector replies shortly after. +On my way now. Ran into some resistance, didn't necessarily land me close to the bridge when I first came on Friedrich.+
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	+I don't need excuses.+ he says, almost playfully
	Baine_Mort	takes one of his two frags and tosses it into the bulk the enemy armsman, it goes off, blowing off the arm of one of the men, taking a leg of another, and shredding the body of another, killing a total of three. A 4th armsmen luckily survives.
	Calvin_Colonel	stands up and exposes himself, then starts reading from the Book of St. Lucius
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The men sworn to protect him rise with the missionary, ready to take a bullet for the holy man, if need be.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Indeed, the need arrives. Claudious, the pious young warrior dives in the way of incoming shotgun fire directed at the priest, taking the hit on the chest.
	Josef	charges out of cover to hit one of pirate, but the scum dodges.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	jumps cover to cover, moving closer to spacehulk and his goons
	Baine_Mort	opens fire with his bolt pistol at the men who shot at Calvin, both his shots hit two of his targets in the body, killing both of them.
	Calvin_Colonel	starts shouting something, but it is impossible to hear him over the gunfire
	Josef	slices and dices his newest victim and removes the limbs of the poor sod.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	continues to move through cover
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The next set of cover the Captain makes it to is being used by one of the Household Guard.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	"Lord-Captain," he nods.
	Baine_Mort	opens fire again with his bolt pistol, taking out two more enemy armsmen.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The Lord-Protector gives a welcome update. He has reached the levatus.
	Calvin_Colonel	picks up his flamer again and fires it
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	+Wait! the levatus is a misdirection!+ Then Friedrich gives a vague reference of how to get to the bridge
	Rosenkrantz_GM	One of the men behind cover is set alight, and runs out of cover, rolling around desperately.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Claudius begins to pray from cover.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Dornerson, on the other hand, appears to be amused by this; seemingly unphased by the chaos around him.
	Calvin_Colonel	"Keep firing, Claudius! A gunshot is worth a thousand litanies in battle!
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	motions forward to the house guard as he continues to advance
	Josef	got shot in the leg while charging at the enemy. Josef loses his footing.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	quickly emerges from his cover, and two consecutive Hellpistol rounds tears the leg right off the notorious "Vermin Claw"
	Baine_Mort	takes a moment to reload his bolt pistol the fires two more shots, hitting one person in the body, killing him.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The calls of Spacehulk to his men, the shock in his voice at the sight of the death of his champion... the screams of men burning to their death. The gore of a machine man's deadly work. The clean and deadly shots of the Master of Ordnance...
	Rosenkrantz_GM	And now,
	Rosenkrantz_GM	the arrival of the Lord-Protector. A man with a vendetta. Once but a slave to the slaver targeted by the Dynasty, today he carries the authority and resources of a true Warlord. His boarding party breaches into the bridge from the sealed maintenance hatch, and in that instant, the balance of power significantly shifts as the colors of the Rosenkrantz Dynasty pour forth.
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	+Took you long enough.+
	Calvin_Colonel	"Behold, Space Hulk! Your doom approaches!"
	Makh_Chomun	points at Spacehulk. He bellows. "You are mine Spacehulk!" Makh waves the rest of his men into battle but he solely goes after the master slaver.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	"Fools! Do you know who I am?!"
	Makh_Chomun	"A dead man." The Lord-Protector mutters as he moves forward.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	At that moment, Spacehulk orders the second of his champions forward... Kalarrack the Gore-drinker. He is a beast of a man, the corruption of chaos visible in his deformed body.
	Makh_Chomun	"You became a heretic as well! Pitiful!" He charges the spawn of chaos.
	Calvin_Colonel	"A mutant! Purge the unclean!"
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Kalarrack meets the Lord-Protector's charge, forcing him into melee. The two fight evenly, with strikes, dodges, and parries. Their skilled is seemingly matched.
	Makh_Chomun	Finally after all the parries, dodges, and ripostes, Makh finds his opening and delivers an uppercut that impacts under the chin of this chaos spawn. Alas it does not kill it.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Kalarrack roars, strings of thick spittle flying from through his sharp teeth, and out his mouth.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	As the duel to the death continues, Josef spots a techpriest and its servitor servicing the damaged comms station on the other side of the bridge.
	Makh_Chomun	The melee continues with neither side gaining much ground. Like a clash between equally matched titans.
	Josef	fires his bolter into the techpriest and yells "We have a problem."
	Calvin_Colonel	"Although the Emperor sits on His Golden Throne on a distant star, his gaze falls upon you today! DO NOT DISAPPOINT HIM!"
	Makh_Chomun	Makh finds yet another opportunity in the never ending melee. This champion tends to favor his right side in melee, so he waits for the spawn to go in for a nasty right swipe, when he does so Makh side-steps and trips the thing up. He then punches the thing in the chest, going through the armor and other defenses of the heretic. Via his strength and the power field of his weapon he carves up...
	Makh_Chomun	...with it until he literally grabs the inside of the monster's head and squeezes the insides to ooze before retracting his arm through the remains of it's face.
	Makh_Chomun	"Tough, but still killable." He huffs, winded a tad.
	Calvin_Colonel	"You are our greatest hope to purge the mutant, the heretic, the renegade! These foul creatures will defile all that you stand for if given the slightest opportunity! There is no room for mercy, or fear, or anything but righteous wrath!"
	Rosenkrantz_GM	"Your movements..." Spacehulk says, having seen the second death of his champions.
	Baine_Mort	moves forward and shots at the techpriest.
	Makh_Chomun	"You see your death Spacehulk!" Makh raises his arms ass if embracing fate. "Do you know who I am!?"
	Rosenkrantz_GM	"You... you're a SLAVE!" he points firmly at Makh. "What do you think you're playing at with these servile soldiers and that absurd heraldry?! You will never be more than a slave! MY slave!"
	Rosenkrantz_GM	"I made you what you are. You were nothing... a cowering fool on a backwater. I MADE YOU!"
	Makh_Chomun	"Aye....you did make me, and you took almost all from me. But that savage....THAT MAN IS DEAD." Makh roars. "The man you see before you is reborn from the ashes of death. I am your doom, and I am swift and merciless and you will reap my retribution, filth!"
	Makh_Chomun	Makh continues to make his way towards Spacehulk.
	Makh_Chomun	"You can't run from this ghost any longer, you filth."
	Josef	charges the techpriest and manages to shove him off the panel.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	"I will show you your place!" Spacehulk begins to make towards Chomun.
	Baine_Mort	opens fire again with his bolt pistol on the techpriest, both shots hit.\
	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz	watches the spectacle as it happens
	Calvin_Colonel	charges the heretek with his chainsword
	Calvin_Colonel	"Die, apostate scum!"
	Baine_Mort	sees Calvin charge in at the techpriest and opens fire on the servitor, both shots hit, killing it.
	Calvin_Colonel	"Your slaves fail you, apostate!"
	|<--	Friedrich_Rosenkrantz has left irc.thisisnotatrueending.com (Client exited)
	Josef	swings his axes and blade in a fury of anger. He takes the head of the Techpriest as a trophy.
	Baine_Mort	"Good job Josef!"
	Josef	"It's wasn't much of a problem, Master Mort."
	Josef	joins the battle with the rest of the Armsmen. His bloodlust is not yet satisfied.
	Baine_Mort	joins Josef, pulling out his shotgun and using it to take out more of spacehulks armsmen.
	Calvin_Colonel	grabs his flamer again and returns to crowd control duty
	|<--	Calvin_Colonel has left irc.thisisnotatrueending.com (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.93 [Firefox 51.0.1/20170125094131])
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Between the luminous runes of piety and the purging flame, the Consequence's men see inspiration in the missionary's actions.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	They fight fervently, and without fear.
	Makh_Chomun	The ensuing melee is bloody, they trade blow after blow after blow, but still it is a stalemate of titanic proportions. But ah, the God-Emperor sees a righteous son and gives him his chance. A slight over-swing by the Spacehulk gives Makh the slightest of openings. And Makh pounces on it like a starving predator. He steps into the swing with swiftness and brings his arm up like a hammer and...
	Makh_Chomun	...breaks it. He then headbutts the man to stun him before kicking in his knee, breaking it with a gut-churning snap. Makh forces the slaver to his knees before coming face to face with the man, a millimeter separates their faces as Makh breathes heavily from the exhertion.
	Makh_Chomun	"This....this is for Talya, you sick fucking beast." He slams his powerfist into the mans chest, pulping his heart before appearing on the other side. He watches the man's life leave his eyes for many a second.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The death of Spacehulk prompts his crew to attempt to surrender.
	Makh_Chomun	Makh slides his arm out from the corpse before taking off his helm and letting it fall to his feet. He falls to his knees and roars as loud as his lungs can manage. His quest for vengeance finally over.
	Josef	"It seems you are victorious, my Lord."
	Josef	"Though we still have vermin to deal with."
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The remaning crew of the Wrath of Igneus are gathered by the Consequence's men in the center of the bridge, weapons confiscated, arms locked behind their heads.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	3rd Lieutenant Perchenko Iyetsev approaches Makh. The marks and blood on his armor telling a story of violence and of victory.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	"The bridge has surrendered. Orders, Lord-Protector?"
	Makh_Chomun	"Lock them up." Makh says simply, he's still emotionally numb after the events, the adrenaline vented from his body.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Perchenko simply salutes. A stoic, dedicated, and emotionless soldier as always.
	Josef	walks up to Lord Chomun and prepared his medkit.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Some of the officers of the Consequence's boarding party begin to organize the aftermath on the bridge. Beginning with a broadcast throughout the ship that its former master is dead, and their officers surrendered.
	Josef	checks on Lord Chomun's wounds before beginning treatment.
	Josef	starts patching up the Lord's burns from the various power weapons used in a brutal combat.
	Baine_Mort	takes command of a few men and begins searching for the relics on board the ship.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	One by one, segments of the ship call in, mutineers reporting victory, or loyalists announcing their surrender.
	Josef	"We are nearly finished with this adventure, Lord Chomun."
	Makh_Chomun	grunts in reply.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	"Lord-Chomun. The Consequence is hailing," the temporary comms officer calls.
	Makh_Chomun	shuts his eyes, wracking his brain, before realizing who he is again. This event is more of a shock than he anticipated. "Put me through."
	Rosenkrantz_GM	+Lord Chomun,+ it's Titus, you immediately recognize, +Footfall hasn't stopped hailing us with questions since you boarded. It would be advisable to send some word to their quasi-authorities. Additionally...+ you swear you can hear Titus sigh
	Rosenkrantz_GM	+Additionally, the matter of salvage rights and a prize crew will need to be determined. We have already had the astropathic choir send word of these events to the /Praeliator/.+
	Makh_Chomun	+Forgive me Titus, but I'll have to leave the prize crew and salvage rights to you. Regarding Footfall, make something up regarding Spacehulk for now. Perhaps he's taken a serious turn for the worse in an illness or something.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	+I will board the Wrath of Igneus at once. With your permission, of course. After all, under the admiralty laws of the Calixis Sector, you are her new Master.+
	Makh_Chomun	+See to it then, Leftenant. If you need me I'll be exploring the prior Captain's quarters.+ He then picks up his helm and clips it to his side before making one of the surrendered officers show him to Spacehulk's quarters.

Rosenkrantz 2:
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The Consequence's men and the Lord-Protector move as one, following Spacehulk's men to a rallying point.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	From here, you can hear the fighting going on further down the deck-section.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The sounds around you are overcome by your comm-bead. It's the Captain, speaking the Dynastic Cant. +Chomun, we will begin our operation to disrupt the defenses of the bridge momentarily, Proceed to the bridge, break through the defenses, and rendezvous with us .+
	Makh_Chomun	Makh replies back in cant, +Affirmative. Beginning now.+
	Makh_Chomun	Over an encrypted channel he informs his men to make ready at his command.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	"Soldier. We will need your men to move through here. You can attack the rear of their formation."
	Makh_Chomun	"With all due respect, I am not a mere soldier," Makh says over his helmet's vox. "Have a little respect. And where are your men?"
	Rosenkrantz_GM	"My /men/, are on the other side of that canteen, fighting the traitors!"
	Makh_Chomun	frowns. "Men are not what I would call those that serve that bastard." Makh signals to his men to kill the lackey. In the mean time Makh triggers the powerfield on his powerfist and attacks the officer.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Without a word, bayonets are driven into the enemy. Through the liver, the lungs, and the throat.
	Makh_Chomun	"Let us help our comrades, try and keep it as quiet as we can. We'll flank the bastards in this canteen of theirs."
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The men move the corpses to one side, and step on through to the canteen, behind Chomun.
	Makh_Chomun	Makh leads his men to the Canteen, in a roundabout route, thus flanking the defenders without going through the mutineers.
	Makh_Chomun	+With all you got in you boys and girls let these vermin know the steel of the Dynasty!+
	Rosenkrantz_GM	You emerge through a maintenance passage, charging through. Spacehulk's armsmen, however, notice your advance, and brace to meet your advance.
	Makh_Chomun	"For the Emperor!" Makh roars as he meets the so called "armsmen."
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The Consequence's men roar as they brutally charge, punishing the slavers.
	Makh_Chomun	The moment Makh reaches the enemy he swings wide and cuts down a swathe of men, like wheat before the scythe.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Immediately after, the formation clashes against the enemy, with devastating effect. The defenders of the ship, however, are not shaken. They fight on to defend their ship and their masters.
	Makh_Chomun	"To the top!" He roars as he fists another man. "I am a machine of retribution!" He yells as another falls before him. "Oh yeah! The pain train is ah coming!" Makh mocks as he swipes and ends another life.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Slowly, the Consequence's men advance. They advance over the corpses of those they cut down.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Losses are taken, but between the mutineers pinn

	Rosenkrantz_GM	So vicious is the charge, in fact, that they begin to break, searching for passages through which they can make their escape.
	Makh_Chomun	"Let none survive!" He spurs his men on to not let one of the defenders escape!
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Grapple Hawks are beasts of prey. The Lord-Protector's is not exception. One after another, it strikes disabling blows. Disabling blows become lethal ones as the men finish the job against those who are left on the deckplate to be ended by point of bayonet, or shotgun blast at point blank.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The mutineers themselves cheer at the sight of this and soon join in on what is a massacre.
	Makh_Chomun	Once the fighting dies down Makh directs the Mutineers forward to continue to spread their little revolution, meanwhile he leads his men towards the bridge.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Zeal renewed by the knowledge that such lethal support is now behind their mutiny, the men who now get a taste for freedom rally forth. There is more than just hope now. They /know/ they can win.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The Captain's voice comes in at this moment he seems... eager. +Makh, where the hell are you?+
	Makh_Chomun	+On my way now. Ran into some resistance, didn't necessarily land me close to the bridge when I first came on Friedrich.+ He lightly teases the man despite the tense situation.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Despite the severity of his situation, the Captain replies in kind: +I don't need excuses.+
	Makh_Chomun	chuckles as he continues to lead the way.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	On your advance, you encounter a makeshift triage station the ship's defenders have set up. They are not ready for you when you and your men enter.
	Makh_Chomun	"Make it quick and painless. The God-Emperor can be merciful." He orders.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The men barely nod in acknowledgement before they begin their work. It's clean, and effective. In less than two minutes the room has been cleared of wounded and attending alike.
	Makh_Chomun	"Forward!" He orders his men and women as they continue to the bridge.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	You arrive at the levatus that leads to the bridge.
	Makh_Chomun	+Nearly there, Friedrich, boarding the levatus now.+ He instructs his men to make ready and board the levatus.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	Before you can all enter, the Captain sends a warning.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	+Wait! the levatus is a misdirection!+
	Rosenkrantz_GM	He quickly explains, through rather choppy communication, that just starboard of the levatus is an access hatch. The service passage is where they were taken, leading up to the bridge proper.
	Makh_Chomun	pauses. "Of course. Should've figured Spacehulk would need deception for his shitty ways, that schlag." Makh curses the man bitterly as he orders his men out of the levatus and towards the true entrance to the bridge.
	Makh_Chomun	"Time to take you off the top rope you bastard." Makh growls to himself as he leads the way up.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The opening service hatch is opened, but Chomun is able to catch something. It has been rigged with a grenade!
	Makh_Chomun	Before going any further he directs his troops back, and gets back himself before triggering the grenade with his boltpistol.
	Rosenkrantz_GM	The explosive goes off, and your ears ring. By the looks of your men, the same is true for them. But you have otherwise avoided a much worse scenario.
	Makh_Chomun	+Could've been worse.+ He chuckles darkly before continuing up to the bridge.
