Oriol should be able to fix that for you by editing your forum member profile himself.

The problem here is you created an account named Leitbec Hemsha instead of using the alter I made for you, and never posted as Dennis, so I erased your dennis account.
I changed your account's name to Dennis, so you can post as Dennis, but try to use the Alter when in character (check the Alters thread in the Help forum if you're not sure how to do it).

Did I manage to knock down Titus’ attacker last round? I didnt see his opposed strength test. And if I did, does that negatively affect his to hit? Im thinking that without the +10 from aiming, because he had to stand back up, we have a Titus who narrowly avoids an attack rather than a titus with yet another replacement limb on the way.

It's a replacement limb. I wear a replacement limb now. Replacement limbs are cool.
Also, that last 6 points of damage puts me at 13 wounds out of my 10 total wounds. If those are final and official, walk me through rolling for critical damage (or do it yourself, as I'm still at work.)

Sorry, yes, I missed the part where you threw your shish-kebab on top of the other guy (you posted while I was writing). Let me roll that Strength test here, and if it's a success, I'll edit his attack out of the post.
Strength 30 (-20 because Red is throwing another guy on top of him and has leverage): aAy96mdd1d1001d100

Ok, so the guy is not knocked down, but neither got a degree of success. Since Red's strength is higher (for a full 10 points), this round's for the Catachan guy.
And Titus is still out of major trouble.

Remainder: fate points can be spent normally to regain 1D5 wounds instantly, dramatically shortening healing time (specially if the wounds are critical). Just saying.

Red's voice comes across the inquisitor earbuds.
"While we were on walkabout, we managed to get ourselves into a firefight and make a new friend. I'm fine, but Titus and the new friend both got hit, might need some medical attention. Don't suppose that you could arrange that on your end? And as long as you are at it, see if the medic you track down could do some looking into the brain of a captive we're bringing along. He isn't right in the head, gone all feral. Might have something to do with the rebellion, maybe not. Either way, we're coming up."

Pshaw. We've done a world of good in our thread, and all Leitbec's done is get himself thrown in jail (almost) and unsuccessfully hit on chicks.

Leitbec and Ash should post a few times before we continue. It's true that the combat took less than a minute in real time (probably about 25-30 seconds), but Titus and Red went down and were touring around before the ambush. So, let's wait for team A to post a little bit more dialog, and we'll continue from there.

Remember the alter when you post IC, Dennis. If you don't I have to edit your posts and select the alter for you (notice that the alters give more information, and have a link to the character sheet as a signature, which comes in really handy when we have to check something).

Titus talks to the authorities AFTER Leitbec and Ash fixed the situation, gets brought in. Different moments, different situations. If Leitbec and Ash didn't fix things, Titus & Co. would also be in a questioning room. |

My character is wondering just who knew he was going down into the hive. The novice that saw him and Red go on their way out is a chief suspect of his, along with everyone in the ecclesiarchy. He's also interested in what that drug was and how it might be affecting rebels, if it's being used in that manner.

Okay, folks. I engineered a dramatically placed cut between chapters, just because. I think it works better this way, and it's a good moment to spread a little bit of XP goodness around.
Now, before further questions are asked, some considerations:
- Until now, you were stuck with recently-made characters with very few XP.
- You learned how the skills work, how to roll, how combat works, and more importantly, what does your character lack.
- You learned how to spend your XP.
- If you see other WH40K RPG games, you'll see that the starting character for Dark Heresy is grossly underpowered in comparison. They made the games this way.
- In Rogue Trader, they say that in order to bring a DH character in par with a Rank 1 RT character, the DH character needs to have spent roughly 5000xp.
Now, how to proceed with purchasing skills, talents and boosting your attributes with XP: you have to look for your detailed career advancements. Your rank depends not on the XP you've earned, but the XP you've spent until this moment. That means you're all rank 2 at this moment in your respective careers. The attribute advancements are there regardless of your rank, and you may buy them at any moment. Remember that the upgrades (in skills and attributes) are accumulative and if you want to have the second advancement, you must buy the first one, then the second one. At any moment, you may buy skills or talents from your rank and all the previous ones.
Before continuing with the game and the posts, I'd rather let you spend your XP. Take a whole day if you need it, and do it carefully. I want you to write a post here with the advancements you make for each rank, and the XP you're spending on each one of them. For instance:
And so on. I think you get the idea.
When you're done with your advancements, write everything down in your DH Character sheet, upload the sheet and post the links, I will update the links on your alters too. Don't forget to check the advancements in the skill list, or to add +5 to your attributes for each attribute advancement you purchase.
Once everyone's done, you'll be able to plan some downtime/quiet time to give everyone enough time to rest and heal, and we'll talk money payments to your characters depending on how much time you spend.
If you have any questions about the process, skills, talents, or xp expenditure, ask them here.

I like where Ash is going. It'll be really useful for the group to have an infiltrator, and if Red also goes for a Catachan scout build, we'll have a really good strike team there. I really like it, there's a lot of role-playing potential there.
Also, Titus getting Medicae skills is a really clever tactical move. First aid is really a must have if you get critical hits with blood loss involved. Also, with all the logic and intelligence advancements, he's going to be the official detective.

Yeah, seeing where Ash is going, I'm probably going to edge away from the infiltration route and go more tech exploitation.
