Quest Thread

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

So, I've been planning an idea for a quest into the Warhammer 40k 'verse, and I'd like to get some input from you guys, especially because I want to open it up to anyone from Milliways who wants in.

The sort of stuff would you like to see, any advice for the new guy, stuff you'd enjoy, all of that would be great to know.

Edit: Given jedi_interrupted's comment​, here's the pitch idea:

Sahaal heads back to his home universe to get some munitions that can't be provided by the Bar. As he's exploring a crashed Space Marine ship, he discovers a fair amount of the more important parts were spared when it was destroyed. Armed with the location of the armoury, bridge and officer quarters, he heads back to Milliways to organise an expedition to strip the ship of anything valuable.

Any and all pups welcome, regardless of skillset.

I think you might get more responses if you include at least a vague pitch to what you currently have in mind. Not all of us are familiar with the world of Warhammer 40K. = D

ETA: I'm just thinking something like a pitch that's a sentence or two. Nothing huge.

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

Thanks, I've added a summary above.

[annalalaith]

I have a Kender.

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

I can work with that.

[shakemyhand]

You do know he may end up with more stuff in his pockets than salvage, right?

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

Oh, I'm counting on it. That's the entire point of the expedition: strip out everything we can carry, and you keep whatever you can find. A kender would actually be quite useful.

[shakemyhand]

As you can see, I have a Wraith too, but I doubt he'd be any good.

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

Well​, it's been a little while since I've seen SGA, but I remember Wraith having better than human level strength. That would certainly be useful.

[shakemyhand]

At this point he's not really going to be much help to anyone. He doesn't play well with others outside his race, and maybe X-23, cause he knows she can kick his ass.

[shakemyhand]

How about Guide stalking people? I mean I am not sure he'd actually kill them, but it might be fun to have a sense of danger? yes?

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

Yeah,sounds fine to me.

[i_am_your_host]

Pups may ask what's in it for them (incentive is attractive!), if there's potential danger, or if their presence will have to be explained to someone. Just character-building obstacles that'll make for interesting writing and reading. :)

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

Thanks, I'll get to work on including those in the pitch, when I get round to actually running​ it.

[camwyn]

Oh, this should be fun. Ellen would probably be happy to come along and check it out, as long as she gets to use her own power armor and weapons for safety's sake.

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

Sounds fine to me. Feel free to bring anything up to and including a minigun, but please, no Fat Man.

[camwyn]

Nah, Ellen has issues with the Fat Man. For something with limited room in which to work she's more likely to grab her plasma rifle or Gauss rifle and the shocksword she usually carries.

[cutting_edgex23]

X would probably be up for this!

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

I'll admit, seeing Laura kick arse would be epic.

[shakemyhand]

Hey, if X can keep Guide in check, I can throw him a this.

[cottoncandypink]

This sounds right up Wilford's alley. Especially if he can get a cool gun out of it.

[exiled_heir_of_the_eighth]

We're talking 40k here. You want a laser assault rifle, a semi-automatic grenade launcher or a pistol big enough to remove someone's torso?

[cottoncandypink]

I have zero knowledge of Warhammer, I'm afraid, but Wilford would say yes to any one of those. :D

[bjornwilde]

I kind of feel like this has Sabine written all over it. Pencil me in although I'll need to confirm once you have timing down.
