The front view ports of the Vaenguard looked upon open space, stars gave a background only very few enjoyed. Some of them would kill for her post and placement in the family line. The bridge was sparse save for herself at the time. A single person viewing the stars. Not many could survive such things on their own. even one like herself.

The Warp Dragon Coretael lounged on the hard marble of his command throne, his sinuous fingers sliding over the comm controls. He depressed a violet lozenge shaped button and spoke in clipped, measured tones. "This is the Warp Dragon. Come in Vaenguard."

Nie-Song smield softly, she was the only one on the bridge. She keyed the vox, "This is Vaenguard, good to hear you 'Dragon, landing space is open if you wish to land." she said. She hadn't seen Coretael in almost a month, surely he had something going on. Masybe new prisoners the Empire wanted found alive.

The Warp Dragon Coretael snarled in annoyance. His voice became soft and menacing. "Cut the chatter Nie-song. Where is my tithe?" He signalled to one of the eldar at a command station near him. He switched off the comm and spoke in curt, clipped tones. "Signal the Sybarites, tell them to prepare for a boarding action."

"Depends Coretael." Came the singsong tone of Nie-Song over the vox. "Do you have the prisoners?" She liked to play with the captain of the Warp Dragon. The fact she was daemonic possessed only added the fact that she was a good leader. It was not that she worried, she always did, many of her own crew had been killed by her hands for trying to take over or start a mutiny. It helped ot have a sense of paranoia.

The Warp Dragon Coretael surveyed the assembled Sybarites infront of him. He smiled evilly and signalled them to prepare their men. He thumbed the comm again. "I do have the prisoners, but their souls are mine." He turned and stood up from the throne, heading for the shuttle bay. He paced down the long, dark corridors, the souls of his boots ringing off the wraithbone deck plates. As he arrived at the wasp like transport shuttle, his incubi guard formed up and entered the cramped craft.

Nie-Song smiled as she heard Coretael's voice, he was a good soldier, and an even better commander of a ship. She waited then, thinknig of where it was best to meet up with Coretael aboard her ship. The Vaenguard was built more or less like a large cityscape. Yet it flew with ease. She climbed up to her seat, which was above the bridge entry. Able to see everything. She then waited for Coretael to arrive, he sure knew how to make an enterance.

The Warp Dragon the shuttle's knife like prow slashed through the immaterium towards the cavernous bulk of the Vaenguard. The shuttle landed in the brightly lit docking bay and the hatch decended with an ominous hiss. From within came a squad of black armoured Incubi, Hellglaives at the ready. Standing at the centre of the line of Incubi was Sybarite Ithodrac Irondance, Coretael's most trusted liutenant. The sybarite's raven hair streamed down his back, twisted in a tight scalp lock. Cradeled in each hand were his splinter pistols. From behind him, emerged Coretael, His violet armour glistened like raw meat in the harsh lights. The spirit-stone around his neck flickered as it entered the ships psychic aura.

Nie-Song closed her eyes, settling into her thoughts, she felt Coretael set foot in the docking bay, the massive cavern of a space had lifts going to the upper levels. which led to her location. She keyed a few stones on the console, a holovox screen appeared showing the hangar bay and Coretael's troop. Nie-Song smiled and keyed a nother vox, this time her voice was heard within the cavernous hangar. "Welcome aboard Captain Coretael of the Warp Dragon, it is an honor to have you. Was our last parting in such sweet sorrow?" she looked towards her chainsword leaning against the console.

The Warp Dragon "Shut your mouth Mon-keigh bitch." Ithodrac boomed, his voice amplified by the vox-booster in his armour. Coretael and the troop swept up the Vaenguards corridors towards the bridge.

Nie-Song a sharp ring of laughter was heard. "Amazing that one can say such things to one such as myself. I am still amazed at the Empires actions in my favor..." she said, her voice heared over the corridors speaker system. "The last Inqui ship tio try to size me failed in that attempt." she never did give the details of that fist fight. the bridge doors slid open under her. She stood and in one swift movement picked up the emerald green chainsword. But she never left the console area. she smirked as she saw the top of Coretael's head as he entered the bridge.

The Warp Dragon Coretael had his diresword locked tightly in his grasp, the blade singing with rage. The Incubi swept into the room, covering all the exits. There was no escape off the bridge. "Now then, Mon-keigh. We are going to have a little chat." Coretael snarled.

Nie-Song smiled when she was spotted, a white haired beauty no doubt, a dangerous white haired beauty. "Good to see you to mon capitain." She leaned on her sword mostly as a walking stick. She threw a dark look towards Ithodrac, then focused on Coretael. "Yes..." she said at his words of a chat. "Lets chat."

The Warp Dragon Ithodrac paced the bridge, positioning himself behind Nie-Song, pistols at the ready. Coretael placed the tip of his sword under Nie-Song's chin. "We need to rearrange the terms of our little arrangement."

Nie-Song eyes shimmered from brown to green and back. "Do we now?" Coretael was a hard merchant, he knew his limits as did she, which was why she chose to work with him. She felt Ithodrac behind her. The daemon within kept itself quiet, for now. "What is on your mind?"

The Warp Dragon "Yes. Our original deal was that I protected your feeble ship from the perils of the immaterium, and you provided me with souls to reinvigorate myself and crew. Now, I want double the amount of souls or I cripple your ship, murder your crew and take you back to the Dragon so my Haemonculus can practice is beautiful arts upon you."

Nie-Song slowly brought a hand upwards, two fingers moved his sword from her neck, gently and slowly. "I do not think, my going to your ship, and my crew dead, would be of any benefit to yourself or your crew." she replied, her eyes once more going green from brown and staying that way for a time. "You named your price, and thus came to me for new terms of our agreement, and also threaten me. I do not hold it against you of such actions captain. Everyone has their reasons for their actions. Even so..." She reached behind her quick as a snake, maybe even faster, and snatched for Ithodrac behind her. Asking Ithodrac a the same time, "How much do you think my soul is worth?" her green eyes slightly shining as she looked to Coretael.

The Warp Dragon Ithodrac backflipped out of the way, landing ontop of the bridge station. "We do not sell souls. We extract the maximum amount of pain from them, then use them to prolong our immortal existance." Ithodrac replied, aiming both his pistols at Nie-Song. Coretael stood impassivly, his face a taciturn mask to the rage building in his slender form. "We do not need you. We only help you because times are hard, and a ship such as the Dragon is unsuitible for running Imperial blockades." Coretael's voice was low and menacing, the sword trembling in his grip.

Nie-Song "People like yourself do what they need to." So these survived on pain? that was news to her, Coretael never told her that whe nthey first met. "The prisoners you have are yours for the taking, I have ten and twenty in my own brig station. one of them has a high bounty on his head, he will remain mine, the rest of them are yours." she threw another dark look towards Ithodrac before focusing only on Coretael.

The Warp Dragon "This is acceptable. You have prolonged your pitiful existance Mon-keigh." Coretael smirked and turned to leave. Ithodrac hopped off the bridge station, smiling evilly at Nie-Song. He ran his unatturally long tongue over his fangs as he turned and followed Coretael and his bodyguard. "Goodbye Mon-Keigh. I await your soul on my lips." He smiled sadistically.

"You wont have it" replied a thick mindvoice of sorts. "Not as I live within her" Apparently the daemon wanted to say something. Nie-Song's eyes shined green then went normal brown. "The prisoner of the bounty on his head is in the first cell, the rest are scattered in the birg. they are yours." she said.

EDIT #4: last edit I'm going ot make, currently this game is slated as a fgailed game, say it isn't so please!


Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

I tend to get online between 4-10 am most days, sometimes longer, when I get chances to get online at night before bed it is between 10-2am my time, sometimes I go all nights,

locations coming up shortly, :)


Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

For the warp dragon, we need a flight deck, bridge and dungeons.


Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

Awesome! What sort of time do you tend to get online? (seeing as you are 8 hours ahead and all...)


Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

OK gang, as of right now the game has offically started onboard the Vaenguard at the bridge, when you are ready, please let me know when you wamnt me to add some new places for the Vaenguard and also the Warp Dragon's ship :)


Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

Yeah, PI, my left arm is solid rock because of the blistering and such. it hates holy water though, imported from Rome :) I'm ready to take a welders torch to it and burn it off though,

OK, timezones listing

elloit; GMT
Xavier; GMT
Awinita: Beijing (GMT+8)

I'll add to the listing as needed as players join up


Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

Both me and Xavier run on GMT. I can't speak for him but on Tuesday at the moment I have a day off, so I'll probably be around all day. I tend to check RPG at least once a day, so I'll probaly be around at some point most days.
And ooooo poison ivy. :S I hope you recover soon.


Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

A few notes before we begin...
    Due to rather unfortuneate events I am currently fighting a currently salemated battle with poison ivy on my arm. Because of this event the game will only bedelayed by 24 hours, so rather starting on monday 21 June, the game will offically start on tuesday 22 June.
  • If you guys have any problems with this please let me know.
  • If you guys have a timeset of when you're online and when you are not, please also state the times tyou are msot likely online so we can Rp better and easier with each other
  • If it is possible I'd like to complie a listing of everyone's timezones.


Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

I see, in that case, things'll be simpler then I thought


Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

that would only work in the multiverse chat tho. The commands won't work for this RP's IC chat


Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

The game is chat based, I'm still learning a few new things about the chat system though, so if it is possible you guys'll have to bear with me as I get situatied rightly and learn the commands to use and such. I was told some areas are "hidden" and only using direct commands can one actually get to those places. So you could say I'm working on figuring it all out, and sometiems hitting a brick wall at thersame time


Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

Its going pretty damn well at the moment. No way i'm gunna make this years submission deadline for the BL tho =(. Ah well another year to improve I guess



Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

Don't forget that I'm in charge of at least 13 other NPC pilots if no-one else plays them.
And lol Xavier it's funny reading through your char profile and going "I helped with that" or "I influenced this". XD
(by the way how's the book going??)


Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

I'm planning at some point today, if not, then this coming monday my time, might still be sunday for some, though I'm going to be on a train most of the afternoon depending on peoples timezones I'm not online between 11 am to around 11 PM as of late. catnaps really screw up my sleeping clock settings



Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

OK, so five guys from you, then one from E, then myself as Nie-Song. well rounded indeed


Re: [OOC] At the Foot of the Golden Throne

Exactly; only her father Jahan knows who exactly Nie-Song works and trades with.

Besides I think we have a pretty good cast list, what do you think?

So far we have the captain of the Vaenguard, and her fighter squad leader, then their allies (how many are on that craft as actual characters?) so far we ghave a well rounded group. How many people do you think would be the most wecan handle?
