Get the shield, then save for a chainsword or something.

Do as much as you can to look cool (ie volunteer to go along), but as little of putting yourself in harms way as you can for now (ie jumping on a grenade).

Shield and Laspistol, we can go at the front to provide cover maybe as well?

Nice writeup, glad we did well (better than I thought).

I say we go artillery hunting, it seems like it has the potential adventure we want

Thanks, it makes the difference for me, you know If any of you have any feedback on the writing itself, my interpretation of the 40K universe or whatever, please come with it. I like the setting and I like writing, so just lay it on me.

Also, keep in mind that with this concept, "adventure" equals danger. There may be rewards in the form of looted exotic gear or extra experience, but it can (and sometimes WILL) mean the odds will be stacked horribly against Quint and then it's lights out.

The life of a guardsman is meant to be a short one, such is the honour of serving the Emperor of Mankind.

Id go for getting in closer/good positions and silently trying to pick them off as quickly and as organised as possible. So part 1 and part 2. Last thing we want is a straggler raising some kind of alarm.

The post below is also a great idea! Ill change my vote to that (or a combo of mine and his, get closer then do what he says)

I dont think that could have gone much better, nice write up.

The day off is a rare blessing here. we should take stock of what items we have and possible see if we can do without some of it. It might be possible to trade for things we need more.

Medic first then sort out gear and scrounge ammo etc if we need it.

Follow suit and answer like everyone else. This is no time to be a special snowflake.

Whatever the further line of questioning reveals (I have none at the moment) we stick with what we know and go with these guys we have been grouped with already. We have fought with these guys and some of them may even like us, this may help keep us alive.
