Exploring the Ship: Artemis

Artemis' knife strikes true, piercing the servitor's leg. Yellowish pus bubbles from the wound. The second servitor swings its arm at Artemis while the first levers itself to its feet. The blow swings wide again, missing Artemis by a hairsbreadth.

The built-in vox in Artemis' helmet crackles and then a clear, crisp voice comes through.

"Brothers, this is Sergeant Camael. I have been forced to destroy two servitors after they attacked myself and an enginseer. There is a heretic aboard this ship. Please inform Captain Lan that he should have all servitors rounded up for examination."

Servitor B All Out attack (-1)

Servitor A stands up again.

The servitors are not affected by fear.

Muttering a curse of his own, Artemis raises his bolt pistol and shoots the Uninjured Servitor.

As the bullet misses the cursing Servitor Artemis fires another shot to the other cyborg. However the second bolt also is far off the mark.

Artemis Marr did want to reply, but due to his pre-occupment, it will have to wait.

Mindless and implacable, the servitors close once again, one swinging high and the other low to try and catch Artemis flat footed.

Servitor B All out attack, ganging up (-4)

Servitor A hits, once again, take a dodge or parry action if you wish.

The Astartes attempts to weave through the servitors once again, especially trying to avoid the vice aimed for his chest, but fails. One of the servitors have finally landed a blow.

Do damage. i can wait. especially if these attacks in all three threads are occurring approximatly at the same time.

The servitor's mechanical strength is great, the two tines pounding through ceramite and adamantine plating. It wrenches them free, leaving a pair of ragged punctures in the armor. Some blood oozes slowly from the holes before Artemis' enhanced clotting factor staunches the flow.

Damage, pen 2 (19)

19 - 7 (9 armor - 2 pen) - 6 (toughness) = Artemis takes 6 damage

A shudder of pain flows down Artemis's chest, as his hardening blood stained his black armor. The red of his own blood mingling with the blue-green streaks that already existed.

A cool anger washed over the apothecary. These abominations will die by Artemis's hands. Once again the space marine looked around for defensive locations in the room, before swiping at the Servitor that stabbed him.

The knife missing the servitor, Artemis stabs again.

The quick stab sails towards and penetrates the injured servitor's right arm.

Not liking that vice grip.

it seams i passed the tactics test by 1 degree of succes (needed 51 or less to get 2)

Casting about for a more defensive position, Artemis notices that to his left a narrow passage created by the wall and some of the heavy medical machinery would keep only one servitor able to attack him at a time while hindering the movement of their bulky arms.

Artemis' thrust snags on a fluid line, the adamantine forged blade tearing through it. Black lubricant sprays like blood from an arterial wound. Still, the servitor keeps on, though its arm moves notably slower with the cut line.

Ducking the swifter of the two servitor's attack, Artemis catches its companion's blow in the chest. A single point of the vice pierces the armor, though not as deeply as before.

"Hold on, Apothecary!" Hefting a Godwyn-de'az bolter, Magdalena takes aim at the damaged servitor. "Purge the unclean!"
Sister Magdalena appears, hefting a Godwyn-De'az bolter, looking for all the world like a true sister of battle.
She fires a rapid burst at the servitor, but the shots go wide, shredding a hospital bed to Artemis' left.

Sister Magdalena Semi-Auto burst at short range (-3)

Artemis flinched as the servitor punctured his armor again, drawing Astartes blood. It amazed the apothecary to no end the resilience of these servitors.

The aid from Magdalena was also unexpected, but appreciated.

I assume, that you have successfully...ugh.. - began Artemis as he fired
his pistol at the damaged servitor. As another bolt completely misses the damaged servitor, the Space Marine ineffectively kicks the other servitor, trying to force it on the ground.

For this fight, and fights where the enemy is similarity armed, i don't mind if you roll my reaction, while im in solo-mode.
My perfered reaction, as you notice is to dodge.

using another fate point to reroll the knockdown roll.

Magdalena looses another barrage on the damaged servitor. Two bolts slam into the servitor's right arm, shearing it off at the elbow. It topples, the sickly green light fading from its eyes.

Its companion swings again at Artemis. It misses, shattering a surgical light stand and littering the floor with broken glass.

Servitor B Attack (-6)

Artemis fires a shot of his own to the other servitor. The bolt flies and strikes the cyborgs leg.


The Space Marine did not want the servitor to puncture his skin again, so he holsters his knife and pistol, then attempts to grab hold of the servitor. Artemis dug his cerimite covered fingers into the servitor's arms, preventing it from using those dreaded vice grips.

Artemis yells at Magdalena, Sister, now is your chance, while i have the foe restrained!

It seams my gamble payed off.

Both I and the servitor suffer from all the effects of grappling, as stated on pg 246.
Since i initiated the grapple, i control the grapple.
Until one of us ends the grapple, we can only use the grapple action (pg 240)
please note: space marines are of size :hulking.
