Forces of Ruin Thread - No Spies allowed!!!

Dear Eidolon,


It's Grognak. I setup a super secret comm channel so those puny wimps can't hear what we're planning. Why did you sign your orders "XOXO" ? I mean, I know we're battle bros from the waaaaay back, but not like that. Anyhow....

What's the plan?! You called me from the Razing-and-Pillaging Sector to this Khorne-hole of a sector! What gives!? If me and my Kil-Skulls don't get some action soon, we're gonna hafta make our own, ya dig!? Also, You should totally let me borrow one of those Dragons you're packing during the initial assault, you know how I like the fire!

Love,

Grognak

PS: KILL!MAIM!BURN!

Dear Eidolon,

So hey...I'm sure you heard by now. That whole space station mission didn't go quite so well. I sent in Rizer the Hellfiend in with a small attachment of my warband. I'm forwarding you the last transmission:

[Status Update: Space Station Secure (J/K it's lost)]

First Skull:
There was like a lot of them and we got over run! I'm down to my last few Raptors and ..... Never mind, just me.

There was a Dreadnought! How the Frak did they get a freakin Dreadnought on a Space-platform!? And were was the Air support we ordered?! You left me to Die! Well Screw you! I'll take their SKULLS for myself and offer them to Khorne!

I'd bet you'd like an update with numbers and whos-who. Well I'm not telling you CRAP! Those Dark Angel wusses and their Fire Hawk Bros will be landing soon enough and you'll get a face full of intel!
I'm so ANGRY right now I could... wait a sec, gotta mop up some booger with lightning claws.... Got it.
Ok, So yeah, as I was saying... wait, one more booger to blow away - get it!?! HAHA...

So yeah, the station is lost. Looks like there is a Chaplin left. Heh, he's got a skull head. I'm gonna go relieve him of it. And once I'm done, I'm gonna start my OWN warband and We're gonna be the "BETTER THAN GROGNAKS" So yeah!

[Sounds of battle]
[Vox sounds -Unknown voice] "...Emperor Protects"
No he doesn't!! I'll show you! Hey wait, my Vox is still on. Time out...

[End Transmission]
+++++++++++++++++++++


So yeah. Pretty sure that traitor is gonna go start his own warband now. What a jerk. He left his post, abandoned the station to who know how many Imperial dogs, and the WORST part of it: He's keeping those SKULLS! You know I already called dibs on those. Anyhow, I'm awaiting new orders.

Forever yours,
Grognak

PS: Silly Vox - auto corrected "bros" to yours...that is SOOOO weird, right?!

Grognak, you incompetent fool. You're given the task to hold against a beachhead, and the suggestion of an assault against the space platform, and what happens? The Imperials have a foothold. You've lost a security detail. Did you think to send a scout ahead and count their numbers - maybe check to see if they have a dreadnought on board? Did you stall for the air support you'd requested? Did you consider maybe retreating and simply rigging the station to detonate? No, you let your men charge in, using the same tactic as every battle I'm sure. You're no better than those Imperial fools - blinded by their own dogma, and slaves to their overused, predictable strategems.

I'll bet you even fought fair.

At least you had the sense to leave a subordinate in charge and not die yourself, and as such we only have one renegade - who may yet be manipulated. As much as I approve of some disorder and chaos (and wouldn't mind a chuckle at your misfortune), having an entire warband deteriorate into infighting now would be quite a waste of resources.

Intelligence (write that word down, Grognak) indicates there is more here than a sea of Imperial dogs. It would be convenient if they could be leveraged for some end other than their own, wouldn't it?

Adapt and overcome. Do not fail the Powers at work here.

[Reminder:No Vox Chatter from 2200::2400]

Grognak is hearing voices. This is not good.

Anyone else hear that?! No? Yeah, me either... Cause you guys remember what happened last time I started hearing things. So no body listen to those voices.

[Sounds of weapon sharpening]
Oh! And no more talking near the air ducts! You guys know how that sound carries!

Grognak Out.
