(ah, fluff wise, he is actually correct. being as insane and insightful as i, the dark eldar do it right. They revel in torture and causing pain to their victims. now, bodies can only take so much pain before giving up and dying. a dead corpse isn't as fun as a wiggling live one. An escaped slave from commoragh described haemonculi torture as being bought to the very brink of death only to be bought back right to perfect health. Making you suffer longer as you were just pulled from the pain releasing grip of death. I R TEH Fluff mister.!!!!111!)

OOC: actually some parts of the ordo hereticus do the same. could you guys slow down the posting a bit so I stand a chance of catching up when I get back.

hmmm, I'll post a bit more... here we are tubbs, someone blue...

IC: Tunrael sat in the corner of the room, tapping floating data-panes suspended above his gauntlet. He had been searching the subnet layers and recent data transmissions for any sign of astropaths. The IM needed one on board their ship. So far he had found three possibilities within a reasonable distance. Two he had already reasoned were likely dead, the other would be had to find but more probably alive. The orks had destroyed much of human society on the planet, and unusually for them had taken the world slowly. they had not done a big invasion to capture the whole lot, they were conquering parts and moving on. this way they could make bases and gather supplies as they went. The orks plans were going well and much communication had been cut off. But then the Dark eldar found that there may be powerful technology beneath the surface and have been mounting increasing invasions to get a foothold. The IM had received challenge calls from the orks and pleas for help from the humans still alive. He had tracked these and matched them to possible locations of the warp-talkers. He had sent messages to the human resistance bases possibly harbouring the psykers he needed. he was waiting for a reply. it had been three hours so far. Ravenous was on guard outside, occasionally shooting a shape coming through the trees. Tun had been rather insular since he had killed that Kommando. some sort of rage had consumed him. it worried him.

The door burst open to reveal a beast clad in black, a silver skull for a face. eyes of fire and hatred. But not hatred for them it seemed. He carried Kali over a shoulder.
"Who are you? put her down!" Tunrael weakly tried to assert himself. The Thing let kali go and she limply stood and walked over to the others. Ken drew a stub revolver.
"D-don't, he saved me... I think... I don't feel much better but from the look of things I'm not dead." said kali in the new arrival's defence. The daemonic visage at the door grunted and then violently shook itself. It nearly collapsed but pulled itself together. It tried to form words but failed. Flexing it's clawed hand and twitching it's head slightly it recovered. In a gruff voice that Tun assumed was not often needed the thing said
"C... Craraaghrrrr... combat stimms ... wearing ... off." from within the helmet came a metallic chittering as the last of it was broken down in his system. "I am Bloodfire." it said "What is my purpose?" with this the eversor (or what used to be an eversor, thought Tun) cocked it's head, it's firey eyes imploring and empty.

Kali feels the effects of the drugs drop like a brick off a high building. Her head is pounding so hard that she can barely breathe. All the bruises that went uncured are flaring up like she just got them and it's all she can do to take several shaky steps forward towards a chair. Her body is shaking trying to reject the medicine given to it that is making it unaturally healthy. She reaches up holding her head painfully. As she nears the chair besides Tun he can see her pail visage sweating as though each step is bringing her closer to unconciousness. She presses forward trying not to embaress herself in front of the men. Then Bloodfire collapses. She turns and has to take a few steps to not fall over. The once close to feignting Kali seems to get a adrenline surge from fear and she kneels her hands carefully lifting up his head, "Are you alright, What's wrong?" then she hears the question and she considers it her brown eyes upon him clearly feelign worry for her savior. "Your purpose?" she watches the breakdown for a moment longer and unable to stand seeing him as he is shouts at him," it's to protect us and the interests of the Iron Mongers. You are one of us now." Then her adrenline fades and her head begins to way heavily as she carefully lays down on the floor her eyes closing as she murmers," Wake me in a few.." her sentence falls off as she begins to sleep easily.

two dark eldar bodies and one ork body lay dead in the room ken made a torture chamber, he sighs at the fact that he was getting no were with whats going on. but as shadow crept behind him its blades drawn to strike they were told about ken on how he was a hybrid but this special venom would do the trick, kens ears perched up and he looked around. "ok guys no tricks were all on the edge." he said but no answer he got real edgy now, as the killer moved quick behind ken he drove the blade down ward into his body letting the poison to move inside hie blood stream. "agh!" ken shouted as he fell forward the killer came closer to him to finish the job until a boot to the face got him off guard. ken kicked the assassin then jumped up punching the dark eldar in the face then blocks a blow from his knife grabbing the knife ken yanks it out of his hand putting the dark eldar to the wall he grabbed his Collier an flung him at the door letting him fly through it hitting the wall near Tunrael ."well that was fun." ken said falling limply to the floor.

OOC: I go for 4 days and everyone's unconscious

[mina]

ooc(2, me and Ken. You are up, Ravenous is up, and I assume Blood is up the moment she gives him that purpose. Either that or we are all about to have to escape.)

[vagabond6]

OOC: if you have noticed I am trying to set up some storyline whereby we have to go and get an astropath from one of the surviving human garrisons. If that is ok, we could head for that but have to fight irks and DE on the way

( im not go yellow armor!!!)

Ravenous felt attuned to the planet now, after letting The eversor take Kali he had walked off to a hidden and peaceful water fall. The sun shone brightly upon this place. Ravenous was well cleaned and meditated after 30 minutes, he had learned of the wildlife and relaxed for a while. Everything going on was putting on him too much stress. That was what he needed.
After his relaxation Ravenous suited back up into his golden yellow power armor, picked up his heavy bolter and checked his tracker. The ship was much more further north than he had thought. He began to hustle in a constant run back to the ship still with a smile on his face from this jungle world. After arriving at the ship to see Ken and Kali both out cold and the eversor and Tunrael standing conversing. "what is going on here?" Ravenous inquired with the usual confusion. But before he could utter another word he felt light footsteps not to far from him.
From his mental adjustment to this world he could feel hear and see much more. Ravenous turned frantically in the direction of the foot steps, nothing. Ravenous squinted with a though and focused on the footsteps. Carefully reaching down to his bolt pistol his fingers caressed the trigger as he waited for the opportunity. "there!" he thought aloud, he bought up his pistol and fired one shot. at first nothing happened but after 5 seconds a body fell face forwards, back of his head blown away. it was a mandrake. "Mandrakes!" Ravenous yelled reaching for his heavy bolter feeling charging footsteps. He only fired off 5 shots before being engaged. those five shots tore the life out of that mandrake it hit though. The first mandrake was too fast, got 2 hits off, the first one being parried by the heavy bolter and the second landing a blow on the shoulder pad of the power armour. "catch!" Ravenous said throwing the heavy bolter at a mandrake catching it off balance and watching the bulky gun crush the life out of the mangled pale skinned cannibal. Ravenous reached for his chainsword and pulled it out revving it furiously as he had his armor scratched3 mandrakes charged his barely shimmering as they moved towards him. Ravenous took a downwards slash at the first one, having it dodged effortlessly slashed upwards only to be met by the bolt pistol butt to his head. That mandrake fell to the ground grasping at his head whilst the other two flanked Ravenous. Ravenous struck towards his left target but missed the strike. The mandrake he struck at was already countering that swing by pouncing forwards. Ravenous took in a moment of thought before reacting.
Backing up quickly his over sized backpack slammed into the mandrake attacking from behind, crushing it's chest cavity like a weak casket 6 feet under. This quick maneuver made the leaping mandrake miss his pounce and exposing it for a crucial second, enough time for Ravenous to strike forwards, lopping off an arm from the slowed mandrake. The pale skinned man beast wailed in pain through it's mask and leveled it's splinter pistol to Ravenous very quickly. Ravenous threw his chainsword arm up and severed the cannibals arm at the elbow, leaving it totally disarmed. With a quick slash through the neck the armless mandrake fell silent. Ravenous felt more and quickly sheathed his weapons. "more are coming! we have to lift off to a new location!" He yelled grabbing his heavy bolter sprinting to Ken's unconscious body. He grabbed the man with relative ease and threw his limp body on board the ship face down. Ravenous turned and sat back on the incline of the ships only entrance with his heavy bolter aimed at the black clad warriors of the dark eldar... His weapon spitting numerous bolter rounds at them...

(have fun!)

As more Dark Eldar close in around them and not one of the tow pilots are awake the ends seems nigh. Kali tosses and turns on the floor holding her face and sobbing....* You won't die child. Have no fear. Your friends however... beg for their lives.* Kali opens her eyes horrified to see a beautiful maid towering over her. Then the maid morphs into a old crone, then she slowly seems to change until Kali looks at the form before her recognition hitting her in the face.* "No please.. don't make me do this." Kali cries out in her sleep. She cries out more things that are garbled by cries of pain. The dark eldar get closer each readying their weapon for the kill. Even as Ravenous sprays bullets out they slowly advance. Ravenous feels a blurr swish past his face as he watches Kali dive into the dark eldar in a murderous rage. " Your soul is mine!" she snarls at one of the mandrakes slitting his throat neatly. Ravenous and the other awake IM watch in utter horror as a orange and blue glow seems to grow as she kills more. Bile filled words spew from her mouth all involving death and the taking of souls. Bullets and daggers seem to go through her killing more Dark eldar than doing anything to her. She chuckles coldly as she cripples more. Then as they all scream in horror falling back away from the ship she screams at them "Tzeentch laughs at you! AND SO DO I!" She turns her arms covered in blood and her face smeared with it. Slowly as she sidles forward cuts and wounds begin to appear. Then she looks up smiling and holds out her hand the crystal imbedded glows diabolically and her once brown eyes have reverted back to their orginal multi colored state. Slowly the glow about her begins to fade. As she walks she leaves a trail of blood that is partly hers and partly Dark Eldar. "Lets get off this rock. Tun where is our heading?" Kali can hear the laugh of the old crone and maid even as she sits in the pilots chair. *Remember your price Kali* As she sits her hands on the controls she watches her hair slowly grow out longer and little black and blue feathers begin to climb up her arm.

Bloodfire finished off a warrior which had foolishly tried to outflank him. The ship was starting to leave, something about an Astropath, and the others were all on board. Bloodfire jumped in the hatch just as it was closing. Then his (somewhat erratic by now) psi-tracker showed a massive warp spike. The girl he had rescued. Unfortunately the scanner could not provide more detailed information. He relayed his findings to the two sitting next to him, the Space Marine and the Vanus Assassin. However, she did not seem to present any immediate danger, but he would still be cautious around her.

OOC: Might be important later--Bloodfire has to scavenge a lot of his equipment (as he lost several items, such as his power sowrd and vox), and one thing he has, which could be important, is an Eldar targeting matrix which he has built into his helmet so it forms part of his 'computer screen' view of the real world.

(who we waiting on to make the next post? someone do it. or i will when i do get home)

[kamikazewatermelon]

(Probably you.)

[carnofex]

as the ship headed the vox unit went active a imperial guard commander ordered us to land, Kali did as she was told thinking this is were we get paid, the iron monger transport landed on one of the docking area's in the bases as 40 guardsmen and 3 leman Russ battle tanks aimed at the ship. if we took of we died, forcing the ramp down the guards men came in quick guns ready. "you are under arrest!" yelled a imperial guard commander as a squad of guardsman restrain us moving us out of the ship and to different cells that are 20 ft under ground. doing so imperial psykers come into view behind us on our way in a little while the torture or killing will began

Kali tries to fade out but her strength isn't back entirely yet. Instead as the guard march her out her form still going through miraculous changes she is forced to kneel before one of the psykers. His face looms before her and her face sinks in recognition. "Kali... Seeing your lovely form does bring back some memories. I see you are as different as ever." Kali's eyes remain glued to the floor. The other psykers in the room seem to try and make him be silent but he walks forward when the guard finally bind her and lifts her chin up gently stroking her cheek. His massivly scarred face becomes obvious. Their eyes meet and in her voice is hard as she speaks, " Tamariel, I see you still have a appreciation for the finer things in life." He leans down taking hold of her hair and pulling her head back painfully, " Still as smart mouthed as ever I see. I am hurt that after 7 years you still haven't learned to forgive people." He chuckles at her and lets go of her hair. He steps around until he is behind her inspecting her like one might a dog before coming back to face her. " You betrayed me. My trust, my love, and because of you..." her sentence never finishes as he strikes her across the face, " You dare speak like that at my mercy after what your claws did to my face. I was once handsome." he bellows at her. Then he turns in a deep rage to the guardsmen and psykers, " This one is mine to interrogate!" he turns back in hopes of seeing fear but she looks up and smiles at him blood dripping from her lip," Still got that famous temper I see." He snarls in open rage at her as her snarkiness. " She is mine!" The other guardsmen are too frightned to stop him from dragging her off.

Bloodfire was dragged deeper, down into a maximum security room. Storm troopers line the walls. They tried to shove him into a cell in the wall, but he jumped, pushing off the wall and snapping the necks of the two trying to hold him, landing in the centre of the room. Eight hellguns were levelled at him...

Bloodfire dropped, sliding across the floor and grabbing his pistol from the body of one of the dead troopers. Leaping up, he spins in midair, firing as he turns. The targeting matrix is fully charged (about once.day usage), and with the eldar runes guiding his already impressive aim, every bolt round smacks home into a storm trooper's head, blowing it to pieces. Another pair charge down the stairs and he takes them out with the remaining four rounds. The bolt chamber clicks empty. Shouts and the sound of boots on metal come from above.

"This will be interesting..."

[Father Nurgle]

Inside the ship ravenous was polishing his armor. after the ship had landed he had put it back on expecting to go on look out duty for the morning. But when he heard voices outside and the sound of imperial guardsmen boots, he picked up his chainsword and bolt pistol. "we could be making allies with them..." He though putting his weapons down happily. "Open up! you are under arrest for heresy to the emperor!" The beating came onto the door. Ravenous opened the sliding metal door to dwarf 6 imperial guardsmen bewildered by this giant size compared to them. "what?" he asked furiously. one of the guardsmen took out massive binding chains preparing to take Ravenous in. Before anyone moved Ravenous looked outside to see Kali being man handled and his team dragged out for imprisonment. This made him angry, bullying the weakened, arresting the just... this wouldn't stand. From Tamariel's point of view all that could be seen or heard was loud painful sounding thumps and a broken guardsmen body thrown into the entrance of the ship, dead from a beating. More screams of pain and the whirring of a chainsword signaled conflict. 5 more guardsmen went in after it and were only blown away at the entrance by the heavy bolter fire of Ravenous' gun. As Tamariel was dragging away Kali he lifted his hand as a fire order to the tanks. Ravenous ran to the entrance of the ship just in front of the ramp and saw his team being dragged away before the flash of the Leman russ tanks lit up the entire ship causing a catastrophic explosion that sent shrapnel and debris into all directions and calling forth a heavy wind...
