Deathknell TP

Dal Matia

Title: Deathknell TP TP Characters: Dal Matia, Augur, Tetrahedronhead,....the Slender Mech, Weird Sisters IC Year: 2016 Location: Cybertron Run By: Imager

Cybertron has been in lockdown, and in threat of actually dying for eons now, but now the Misericorde has been brandished, as the cult of Silent Grill intend to finish the planet off permanently. The Autobot faction has called in their most knowledgeable experts, looking to analyze the situation, while the Decepticons are strangely silent on the matter. Do they even know? Will Optimus extend the ener-olive branch of peace towards the Slagmaker to fight a common foe, there, in the depths of Silent Grill? Or will the two factions unending war distract them from the prize both sides want? And even if they do manage to stop Silent Grill... what cost will there be to save the planet?

March 18 - Deathknell

The mad Unicron cultist Dal Matia seeks to finally destroy Cybertron after eons of waiting. Her weapon of choice? A sea of dead Energon, pumped back into the veins of the great planet.

But how will this destroy the planet? Careful analysis and conjecture is as follows. Cybertron's systems are in stasis for the eons of the Great Shutdown, but are programmed to respond to energon flow itself. So all the pumps, and turbines that bring the planet to life will restart upon sensing the Dead Energon flow, but will be unable to draw power from it. Dead Energon will cause each and every pump, power core, turbine, and computational array to TRY to work, until mechanical failure. THAT is how Cybertron is to be killed.

So, what will the Bots do to protect their planet? Campaign with their erstwhile enemies, the Decepticons? What further horrors await in Silent Grill? And what can be done to save the precious planet, one more time?

With the Autobots in the dark about Silent Grill, Elita One orders the capture of one of the Weird Sisters - Singing muses of the dark that patrol the outer grounds of the ruined city. However capturing one may be just as hard as interrogating one.

Apr 21 - Deathknell update

While it had been a bit since I had ran a TP, I thought I might catch everyone up to speed on the recent happenings. The Bot scouting party found and abducted one of the 3 Weird Sisters (singing Femmes whose duty/purpose is unknown), and attempted to abscond. Unfortunately, the massive guardian of Silent Grill, Tetrahedronhead, burst through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man and attempted to slaughter everyone. The retreat was harrowing, and confusing as the navigation systems of most of the mechs (save Turborat apparently) seemed to be a bit off, as the labyrinth altered itself constantly. Several Bots were injured in the fleeing.

Had the bots successfully won the Skill Challenge System, they'd have made it to the surface, Unfortunately they lost by a single point, and were given a 'partial success' at finding refuge in a large antechamber with a wizened old Femme. Hopefully she'll have the answers the Bots need, because moments later, Tetrahedronhead's blade plunged from the wall outside, through Arcee, wounding her greatly, and into the Weird Sister prisoner, whose fate is yet to be determined.

How this plays out is anyone's guess.
