The battered Innominate emerges from the warp and limps into the polluted home skies of Necromunda. The chirurgeon-servitor has managed to keep Gallius' wounded crew alive, but they are not able to go out in full strength. Gallius spends valuable credits to partially patch the ship, and looks for a job with his two able companions.
 |
| The Innominate's depleted crew |
He finds one- an agitator has been stirring up trouble in the refineries. If he can be killed, there will be a good reward.
 |
| The agitator and his lackeys |
 |
| The agitator is at the far end of the refinery hall. |
 |
| There are glimpses of the enemy through the machinery. |
 |
| They advance cautiously into the heat. |
 |
| Shots are exchanged without effect. |
 |
| More lackeys begin to swarm. Lady Heldycryn's rifle jams and she pulls out her pistol. |
 |
| Chugger shrugs off a grenade blast and Gallius backs off with Lady Heldydryn. |
 |
| They don't realise they've been outflanked! |
 |
| Lady H takes him down with a risky charge. |
 |
| Chugger blasts the minions and Gallius sees an opening- the enemy agitator goes down! |
 |
| The minions keep coming, and the trio head for the blast doors. |
 |
| A lucky shot wounds Gallius! He is dragged to safety. |
Gallius removes his cloak- miraculously, he is unharmed. The credits are a welcome relief, as is the reputation gained by eliminating the agitator. A potential recruit arrives, looking for employment- with several of the crew still recovering from the battering on Hydresar X, Gallius can't turn this down.
It's been a while since I blogged- I entered a bit of a hobby slump and loss of my painting mojo. It is many months since I last Five Parsec'd and I was a bit rusty. The adventures will continue!
Glad to have you back! And wow, what a way to be back indeed! I love this :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suber! I appreciate the support!
DeleteGreat story- I look forward to the next installment.
ReplyDeleteI shall try not to be so tardy in the future.
DeleteA good start on another world. Is this going to go downhill fast to?
ReplyDeleteWe all need a rest from the hobby occasionally. Coming back is fun though.
I haven't got the rules yet but I'm starting to gather a few figures. And I have my spaceship! A 1/72 Eagle transporter 1. A little small, but it's a ship for the crew and will look reasonable on a launch pad above the figures
The Eagle will be a great centrepiece!
DeleteWelcome back! Nice to see the crew get a break finally.
ReplyDeleteThey got a bit lucky; it could have gone badly wrong!
DeleteThose melting pots really draw the eye. Very evocative. Do you have a post about painting them up?
ReplyDeleteI shall do one!
DeleteQuite lucky with a reduced crew. But they survive
ReplyDeleteThey were quite lucky; I don't think they could have held off much longer.
DeleteBarks - I am sizzling with envy. I am waiting for my copy of Five Parsecs to arrive so I can whip up a few games. But I can't imagine getting terrain so perfect as yours -- the vat of lava: chef's kiss!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll have fun with it! I've just posted about the vats; enjoy!
