Mikavael cursed and grabbed his right arm. Bolter round had punched straight through pipe and while had lost some power impact was enough to hurt him and laspistol fell to ground...Cursing he picked weapon up and ran backward around the corner. Damn if he's going to stay too close of enemy...

Knowing time was short Ratheol drew up one of his frag grenades and threw it over the pipes. He heard satisfacting explosion and scream of pain from several person while he calmly walked away drawing his plasma pistol. Emperor giving they might get survive this...

Lothos cursed. Grenade had flew over the pipeline hitting close to beastmen, Tobius and Naraon. Beastmen and Naraon took only light wounds though were pinned for a while but Tobious was stunned for a moment from the blast. This was not good.

Rafus knelt down and raised his shotgun leveling it at fallen form of beastmen. Sending fury of shots he saw beastmen shudder with pair of hits, one to head hurting beastmen clearly while other bounced from armoured abdomen.

Walking forward he reached out for mind of the one who used shotgun and tried to take control of him. But someone interfered! Lothos pushed harder but it was no good. Lothos felt brains burning as powers backfired. Cursing he opened fire toward Ratheol whose legs he could see behind pipe line. Total of 8 bullets were fired in quick order and he could see Ratheol fell to ground. He watched with sick horror as Ratheol pointed plasma pistol toward him and sent pair of plasma shots into him both hitting his groin. He lost his concious and fell and didn't see Ratheol pick up his bolt pistol and sending another pair of shots into his chest.

Swapping his shotgun for pair of swords Rafus crawled over pipe line and broke for run aiming at beastmen. He knew beastmen needed to be taken out soon. As result he did not see how cultist lying in ground rose up and pointed his pair of laspistols toward him. As result pain he felt when one shot hit his leg square on suprised him and he almost stumbled into ground. Looking left he smiled. That cultist was as good as dead now.

Throwing himself into ground Natalie passed through pipeline fast and rose up seeing the very same men he had faced last time their bands had fought. With a growl of hatred Natalie charged in swinging his axe but skillfull warrior avoided the attack using the lenght of staff to his advantage.

Taking deep breath Haran stopped around the corner. He did not know why he had been captured by the powerfull men clad in armour but he was clad he had been saved by the scarred man. He knew he had to escape but he did not dare to advance further without any guide. Who knew what kind of horrors lurked here...

Taking deep breath Ratheol dragged himself up. While he was victorious from gun duel for now he knew he could not sustain such for a while. Once Lothos would get over pipeline Ratheol would be wide open with nothing between him and bolter rounds. Walking alongside tunnel after the victim he made some first aid to his left leg and felt some of his pain wash away. He just hoped his friends could get out of here as well.

Screaming Rafus charged in into cultist who had hurted him. Swinging heavy blade forward he struct at cultist but he dodged away barely avoiding the blade. Cursing Rafus stepped forward and stroke again. Once again, by slightest of margins, cultist dodge the blade. This was not good.

Naraon cacked insanely. He had survived against all hope! Taking aim he sent up several shots toward the swordmen who avoided first one but not the second which hit his head straight on and warrior fell to ground. Smiling Naraon prepared to finish the foe...

Mikavael stepped back swinging long blade against the women scratching his arm as women rolled over and stroke into his abdomen hard, real hard. Mikavael blacked out with pain consuming him...

Beastmen roared out when he woke his head aching. Looking around he saw Naraon over fallen swordmen and was about to join the fight when Naraon signed he didn't need help and he should go to search new foes. Roaring his displeasure beastmen however followed instructions and sprinted forward and passed through pipe line.

Haran watched with sick horror as he saw huge beastmen running toward him! Seeing how his rescuer waved toward left he gladly followed and walked over the gap between block he was hiding now and another block.

Waking up Lothos felt small bite in his chest. Looking at it he saw small mechanical dog trying to bite him. Laughing Lothos didn't even bother to rise and simply stroke at dog 3 time. One was avoided but other 2 landed true and dog splintered into pieces. Pathetic. Sending up DOG after him...

Hearing huge roar behind him Ratheol realised with sick horror beastmen was running toward him and was closing fast! Turning around he fired snap shot which flew far away. Then he switched to semi auto and sent four more bullet of which 2 hit home felling the beastmen, for a while. With a mental click he activated power fist. He had feeling he was alone and his friend were unable to help him...

Firing madly Naraon saw 3 of his bullets hit the fallen swormen who, even unconcious, screamed in pain. Checking if warrior was still in action Naraon was satisfacted there was no more danger from the enemy. Now all he needed to do was to reach remaining foes...

Beastmen howled in furry and climbed and charged the foe who had shot him. Swinging his right axe twice he saw it first parried by his foe and second hitting right arm hard. Second axe swung low but missed and raised upward straight into mechanical arm hurting it some more. He saw warrior wince in pain.

Ratheol knew he was in trouble. Against his expectation his parry, which he managed to do barely, had not break his weapon. He was almost out of concious from the pain...

Tobious woke. Last thing he remembered was grenade exploding next to him. He rose up and started to look around noticing cultist grinning close to him with fallen warrior next to it. Lothos was fallen closeby with broken mechanical dog next to him and seemed to be allright. But where were enemies? He walked next to Lothos and prepared to follow his lead...

Slowly Lothos activated the healing unit of his power armour and felt the pain ease and his motions come faster a bit. Now he was ready to join the hunt.

Ratheol heard the beep which stated plasma pistol was ready to be fired again. Smiling he grabbed it up and fired it twice. Both hit at point blank range and beastmen howled in pain. Then stepping forward he swung at the beast first hit being parried and huge cleaver melted. Second missed alltogether and third hit and was parried by other cleaver. To his suprise cleaver was still allright! (player note. At this point beastmen was almost totally crippled. Other weapon down and his speed was reduced to mere one...).

Rising gently Lothos followed Tobius over the pipe line. He could barely see Ratheol fighting against beastmen and watched in disbelief as Ratheol's power fist swung into head of beast who fell his skull splintered. Even worse Ratheol instantly charged women who had been running behind him and with yet another head hit women fell too...This was bad. And he had no idea where his prisoner was currently(player note. Almost at table edge ie at his goal...).

'DAMN YOU RATHEOL!' Lothos screamed as he opened fire with both of his weapon. Range was moderate and darkness hindered even more but he saw Ratheol take hit straight into chest and fly into ground blood rendering ground red. Still he could see movement there...

Panicking Ratheol knew he needed to get in cover. Luckily he was virtually next to corner of building so he rolled over there switching to his bolt pistol once more. Glancing around he saw hammer wielding cultist around cultist. Firing at semi he saw how 3 of his bullets hit home and cultist fell into ground clearly out of action...

Haran walked away with smile. Sound of action was getting more and more quiet all the time. He knew he could escape now(player note. He was just 1 yard from table edge so game was effectively over. Now we just wanted to see how long Ratheol can hold it).

Firing full speed Lothos fired toward Ratheol. Due to distance and darkness most hits went wide but one hit Ratheol's leg through stone wall. Ratheol winced in pain. He was almost gone and he heard noice back too...Lothos on the other hand heard sound of bolter's clip saying it's empty. Rising into his feet he looked back and saw grinning maniac with pair of pistols. Firing last bolt ammo into his groin he saw with satisfaction how cultist fell into ground...(player note. Bullet and cultist is getting somewhat common ;-)

'RAAAAATTTHHEEEOOOLLL!!! It's just you and me now! I'm going to get you!' Lothos screamed. Again he was being twarthed! He walked next to building block. He was not going to let Ratheol get away...Meanwhile Ratheol patched his chest and applied some painstimms. Pain was easing up and he grabbed his plasma pistol. He could hear Lothos walking toward him...He quickly turned over corner and fired plasma pistol twice into enemy hitting groin once stunning the foe. Quickly he charged in and in swift order(player note. During charge+next turn) he smashed into his fallen foe 5 time, only one being parried and Lothos was unconcious from pain...

===========================

Unbelieavable! Against all odds Ratheol actually survived and took out all of his foes, even the mighty Lothos and this time didn't even need single head hit! Things weren't looking particulary good when Ratheol was only one of his warband and none of enemies were taken out...But some good power fisting, gunslinging and whole HEAPS of luck (he was 2-3 point away from out of action TWICE!) he actually survived...Game was again heaps of fun though maybe reaching scenario objective(getting prisoner offboard) was too easy even as I limited him to walk only(scenario rle, prisoner too injured), he had speed 3, didn't get more than 1 action off all that often and spent entire turn just hiding as I didn't want game be over too soon...Live and learn. Table was VERY small which was annoying.
