Editing LeonidasAndCollin (section)

===Scout's Promise===

We pick up roughly a day after the Hab District incident.
Wulfgang and Angelion have voxed in at the eastern gate, and are joining the defence.
Nothing has been heard from Leonidas and the Black Shield yet, though a large explosion was noted a little way south-east along the Imperial Highway at around midday the previous day

While most of the Cadre is attacking from the east, a small detachment primarily consisting of drones and Pathfinders has cut around the Hive to strike at the city's heart through the southern gate.

Now, we'd all put up with Collin's shit for an entire scenario, and several dialogue sessions.
We all agreed prior to that saturday (even Fenrir) that it was time to say farewell to Collin.

Now, in this scenario, a detachment of Adeptus Arbites had come by request of Wulfgang and Angelion to dig out the Space Marines.
Unfortunately, Karel had died in the rubble, leaving only Collin (yeuch!) and Fenrir.
Now, I haven't highlighted any of Karel's achievements, but I may do so at a later date, in honour of his memory.

In one strenuous bit of two-way dialogue, Fenrir and the five Arbites managed to convince Collin to stay at the gate and defend it while Fenrir made a dash through the city to reach the Eastern gate and inform them of the collapse at the south (they didn't know that Wulfgang and Angelion had already gotten there).

Collin jumped at a chance for command of the Arbites.
Unfortunately, he wasn't that great, his plan consisting of setting us all out in a line and letting him pick off the enemy while we functioned as a human meat shield.
So, we followed this plan on the basis that it would get him killed as well as the dispensable Arbites characters.

Turn 1.
Collin, armed with a shotgun, manages to down a Pathfinder, and damages two drones.
Two Arbites go down (Fenrir's and Angelion's).
Leonidas' and Karel's Arbites move into charging range, and do just that, taking three pathfinders down and damaging another drone.

Turn 2.
Collin fires, taking down one drone, damaging another, and manages to make a Pathfinder jump about a foot in the air.
Wulfgang's Arbitus goes down, after being riddled with plasma fire.
Leonidas and Karel continue slaughtering the Pathfinders in close quarters, and are joined by my own Arbites.

Turn 3.
I neglected to mention Collin's wounds. Although a lot of us have gone down due to overwhelming numbers of Pathfinders, Collin has still taken a lot of fire, and is on single-digits.
He isn't phased by this, and hasn't caught on yet that we're conspiring to get rid of him.
So he continues fighting, failing miserably to kill anything (He added another wound to a drone).
Mine and Leonidas' Arbites are downed, after taking down a good few Pathfinders with us.

Turn 4.
Collin brings down one more Pathfinder, before being vaporised by the sheer amount of plasma being poured into his body.
At this point, the dialogue proceeded as follows:

Me: "The enemy finally overwhelms you, peppering you with pulse fire until-"
Collin: "What?"
Me: "You're dead."
Collin: "Fuck you, no I'm not!"
Fenrir: "GM knows best, man..."
Collin: "Fuck you all! Its a shit game anyway! You all only play it because you can't get laid!"

At this point, he threw his scout across the room and stormed out.
We had pizza.

I asked Karel afterwards if he'd like to build a new character for next week's game.
He declined, asking instead if he could play the Arbites, his being the only one to survive.
