You and your fireteam just entered a desolate city as the sun is about to disappear in one hour. Your team consists of two Titans, two Warlocks, and two Hunters. Trudging through the expansive city, you all witness nature enveloping buildings and roads alike. Soot and ash fall from the sky slowly. It covers your armor and creates a soft blanket of ash amongst the landscape. Suddenly, your team hears the shattering of glass not to far from your current location. What do you do?
.
Edit 1 (idea by A.): Perception check, your Hunters go prone and silently go check out the noise. They see a group of hive lead by a abnormally larger boomer Knight by the name of Xe-la, The Gravemaker. It seems the shock troopers were searching for something specific as by the holes created in a shambling hotel. It seems Xe-la is holding something very close and calling the others back with him. Your Hunters call the team forward and now you are all regrouped looking at the hotel and the shock troopers now leaving. What do you do?

[quote]They see a group of hive lead by a abnormally larger boomer Knight [u]by the name of Xe-la, The Gravemaker[/u].[/quote] How does the party know his name? Did the party overhear hive chatter? When did the party learn to speak the language of the hive? [quote]It seems the [u]shock troopers[/u] were [u]searching for something [i]specific[/i][/u] as by the holes created in a shambling hotel.[/quote] Did the party see either the holes being made or see the hive searching? The use of "were" indicates this happened in the past but the party has just arrived, how do they know what they know? How does the party know the hive are looking for something specific? Is it in the way the holes are made? Have items and resources normally plundered by the hive been left behind? Additionally, has the party encountered these hive before or recently seen them in action? They're called shock troopers but, again, how does the party know this? If they look different than typical hive that accompany a knight, what makes them different? [quote]What do you do?[/quote] Find a new DM/GM that does more describing and less explaining.

And coming into view further up the path is Xe-la The Gravemaker’s Lieutenant.... The dreaded..... Men-Tos, The Freshmaker!!!!

I roll a perception 1, we all pull out our rocket launchers, cout to three and fire in unison, however the was a barely visible force feild two feet in front of us and the resulting blast wipes our fireteam. Our ghosts revive us and we head back to the tower to drink our sorrows away and pray for d1 gaurdians to appear and take care of our problems.
-
Ahem... someone’s been playing fatal bullet eh?
-
I roll a 2. I think I blinked and fell off a cliff, my fireteam jumps after me, trying to cushion my fall. In hindsight, we should not have partied the night before....
-
Smoke another one, sit back and watch sh#t happen.
-
Clean up the broken glass with the Sweeper Emote and head to orbit🧐
-
Start shooting shit

Perception check, I roll an 18, and see a group of hive lead by *gasp* a really big version of a regular mob that’s been pallet swapped (clearly this is a raid boss) My warlocks mouth salivates at the prospect of the 2 or 3 tokens and duplicate purple gear that awaits us as a reward for dismantling! He looks over his shoulder and sees that 1 of the party has disconnected another 2 are dead and tried to revive each other over a lake of acid and the last 2 don’t have microphones and are shooting their tractor cannons at the boss. The revival timer is at 5 seconds remaining before wipe... I roll a strength check to snap my own neck and end this nightmare... 11... good enough *snap*
-
i press B and Leave the Fireteam, because Joe the titan is taking selfies.
-
I rolled a 9
-
Part 2: My warlock is over powered by a sense of overwhelming bitterness and resentment. The Hive feed on destruction and what ever Xe-la is holding onto... I feel like he’s not going to let it go. It feeds him. Now I’m closer I can see that the Knight holds on to some kind of rectangular crystal, symbols in light dance across its surface... D? 1? Hard to make out. Whatever it is it’s old and powerful, it’s filled with potential just the sight of it pierced my mind with thoughts and images of what could have been. I use my free action to cast empowering rift and roll a 14 charisma to cast nova bomb
-
I go hide for a couple of days ,which is about how it will take for our supers/nades to charge.Then we attack.
-

My friend has actually found a pdf that mixed destiny with the dungeons and dragons rules.
-
Screw your fireteam my level 8 wood elf monk runs past the fireteam because he had a movement speed of 50 and towards the sound of broken glass.
-
Lie down and put paper sacks over our heads ready to die.
-
Go shooty shoot
-
Whip out my Prometheus Lens and turn that broken glass into molten glass.
-
Cheese it!
-
Im going to kill my fireteam and anything else that moves, what about you

-
Roll a 17, then pay $30 to see what my character does, then they roll a- PAY $40 DOLLARS TO SEE IF OUR HERO SURVIVES THIS ATTACK!!!
-
Have one of my hunters (the female one of course) roll for perception.
