[Xander Morhaime]

Halsted, after a brief search of the remaining corpses, came away with two extra grenades, a half-full autogun and a brace of fresh magazines. Leaving the stubber and autogun in his previous spot of cover, he ran over to at least help drag the Eldar into some form of cover before setting down the las carbine and a fresh power cell by his side. "Maybe you'll be less likely to charge into enemy fire, pointy-eared psycho," the guardsman growled, before returning to his cover, reloading the autogun with a fresh mag before bracing up the stubber in a semi-fixed position to cover as much ground as possible and working to clear the jam.

[Passionario]

Her eyes darting in search of danger, Pass cautiously advanced to where the bleeding Eldar lay. 'Pathetic wretch' she silently thought, examining his injuries with eyes devoid of compassion. Still, his was technically considered Inquisitorial property, and she was given a direct order, so it looked as though the xeno would live to see another day, after all.

Staunch Bleeding, followed by Healer.

Single-die rolls, both time.

[Gargulec]

Despite being half-concious, eldar yelled in agony, as Warp powers forced his wounds to knit and stopped him from bleeding out. But his breath became less ragged, and it would appear that Silarriel escaped death for now.

Both powers used, Silharriel is now stabilized, and he wont die right away. However, he is still at 0 wounds, and any further damage will kill him for good.

Pass gets 100XP, for amazing display of Warp powers
Marcus gets 50XP, for thinking, and taking eldar to the cover. Otherwise, psyker would get sniped.

[Silhar]

The Eldar coughed heavily, yelling and spitting blood to the ground. He suddenly tore open his eyes, glancing in terror at the woman's face above him...

Camilla: You, sir, should unmask.
Stranger: Indeed?
Cassilda: Indeed it's time. We all have laid aside disguise but you.
Stranger: I wear no mask.
Camilla: (Terrified, aside to Cassilda.) No mask? No mask!
-THE KING IN YELLOW: Act I Scene 2

Nobody really knows what did he see in the psyker's face. Or maybe beneath it ? What ever it was, it forced the Eldar to hold his breath and prone backwards, despite deep wounds confining him hard.
He went calm after few seconds.
"T...thank you, miss.", Eldar's face twitched in a spasm of pain while he whispered. "Seems like I owe a debt to you."

[Xander Morhaime]

"Save the thanks for later," Halsted hissed, pressing a las carbine into the Eldar's hands. "We've got more hostiles inbound. Try not to get your head blown off this time..." he suggested, before running back to his prepared firing position.

[Silhar]

"On my way, human.", replied the Eldar weakly. Then, he got up from the ground to the crouch and sweeped the place for any sign of sniper. He decided to take the sucker down. Carefully looking for a short period of time from behind his cover, he tried to find the bastard, using one advantage - the sniper probably thought that the Eldar was dead. And the Outcast didn't mean to give him a possibility of thinking otherwise.

If he made it, he would try to use the las carbine and push the man to the ground.

"Ya know, Tobias, it was not me who did this. I felt this... Urge... Urge to get in there and tear their flesh with my bare hands. This is not where I was treading...", he explained silently, aiming towards the sniper's position. "Something... other... drove me there. Lust for blood and guts... Or else."

Sneak, aim, fire. Using FPs if necessary.

[Marcus Constantine]

Marcus didn't say a thing during this short barking of commands and regrets. He hid behind some cover, reloaded his revolver

"Give me strength Father On Earth, give me strength to fight, give me strength to die"

[Passionario]

"T...thank you, miss.", Eldar's face twitched in a spasm of pain while he whispered. "Seems like I owe a debt to you."

"Not to me, Eldar, but to the powers of the Warp. If it were not for them, your life would be forfeit," Pass whispered, watching the xeno advance into the firing position, "Pray to your gods that they never come to collect it."

Taking cover behind the nearest available object, the psyker instinctively reached for her Emperor's Tarot deck, stopping at the last moment. Her soul still scorched and wounded by the Demonic assault, she decided not to risk another invocation at this time.

Instead, she retrieved a deceptively small laspistol. While it was a significantly less powerful weapon than her cards, it was also far less likely to turn against her.

[Passionario]

"Once more into the breach, my friends. I'll draw their sniper's fire, you take him down."

The psyker concentrates for a moment, then flickers out of vision, instantly reappearing a dozen feet away in the open ground - yet for some reason, you have trouble looking at her directly, as though something got in your eye.

Before you can warn her to get back to safety, her ghostly distorted figure recklessly dashes towards the compound.

Distort Vision (single-die). If it works, run at full speed in the direction of the enemy, aiming to end my move in cover.
If it doesn't, try again until it does. :)

[Gargulec]

You excepted Pass to be mercilessly shot down by DuPont's sniper. But... there were no shots. For a second, you thanked Emprerror on His Throne for sparing His psyker.

And then, there was a loud explosion, as the base of the sniper's tower was literally annihilated after being hit with long lance of blue las-fire.

Second later, whole construction crumbled to the ground.

[Xander Morhaime]

Halsted swore quite passionately under his breath, the after-image of the las shot still flashing across his vision even as he snatched up his magnoculars and scanned the direction where the shot had come from for the possible source.

"Emperor's Blood... I think we've got someone else coming to crash the party," he muttered under his breath. "Infantry moving up, definitely not DuPont's men, backed by a scout sentinel with a lascannon," he informed the rest of the group, save Pass who'd gone out of earshot by now, most likely. "Definitely not Skitarii either - looks almost like a Guard regiment, but I don't recognise the regimental colours... Red and gold field, Cult Mechanicus cog design with a figure of the Emperor enscribed in it... ring a bell to any of you folks?" he asked, then ducked down. "Question being, can we ask them for fire support, or are we getting stuck in the middle of a rival cult fight?"

[Marcus Constantine]

"Depends if we can move quickly in and out and get out the prisoner. Because I think that's our main task, DuPont man are going to get fried right now, and it doesn't matter if the flame is going to be Holy or not. So what is it going to be brother Laz?"

[Silhar]

"Excellent occasion to act. Now or never. Decide, chief.", added the Eldar, staring at Laz's face while leaning from his cover.

[Malek Deneith]

Laz pondered for a split second then nodded - Alright, let's do it. We get in, find my stuff or at least the rosette... then we gank DuPont so that we can get informations from him later. Then we do our best to get out alive. And let's try not to get caught in unnecessary fights on the way in - no go!

[Xander Morhaime]

"So... who's going to go find the psyker to tell her?" Halsted asked, pulling the stubber down from the firing nest he'd so carefully set up.
