Well, necrons and tyranids are the two great powers at this point. I don't know that helping one destroy the other will really benefit humanity all that much, since the remaining power can turn all of its attention to Terra.

But what the hell, I'll go with A. Ahriman's "Spell of Creation" cast in the heart of a hive swarm sounds really, really bad.

 

[Ulminati]

Everyone knows root is a gigantic necronfag, so the obvious vote is

B




[edit]

A split second too late

 

[Ulminati]

Interesting outcome. Without Tzeentch to oppose him, Nurgle's going to gain primacy now. Unless, of course, the emperors psychic death scream collapses Terra into a second eye of chaos and a new god arises to join the gods of Chaos.

 

[Brotherman Bill]

So Ahriman planned for us to destroy the planet all along?

I mean... I thought this over a bit previously, and Ahriman is a p smart guy... It wouldn't make sense for him to say that he didn't want to use the tyrant star to save humanity if he wanted us on his team. So by votan *against* his vile plans we actually followed them... Yes?

 

[Chef_Hathaway]

 

[Black Bart Charley]

A hollywoodian ending, complete with redemption, happy ending for lorekeeper and a retarded one liner... Wow.

 

[Kayerts]

Very interesting. The first mention of the "mighty lion's sword" was a big "oh shit" moment for me; I didn't see that one coming at all. Apparently I forgot the rule of Chekhov's artifact sword; regardless, this was enjoyable as hell.

What would have happened if we'd taken the Necrons' offer? Exterminatus takes place before Ahriman finishes his spell; Tzeentch lives but everyone on Cadia dies?

Also, what would have happened if we'd followed Ahriman?

 

[Kayerts]

Oh, awkward. And here I had thought we'd finally managed to not get the worst possible ending for a story arc. Maybe the fourth time's the charm?

 

[Chef_Hathaway]

Yeah, we could have died without doing anything at all, and Cypher and the BROkeeper died gloriously.

 

[Esquilax]

Yeah, we could have died without doing anything at all, and Cypher and the BROkeeper died gloriously.

At least things are going our way now. Regardless, It's a bittersweet victory, considering our choices lead to the death of such courageous individuals worthy of being called BROS.

 

[Ulminati]

The Reclusiarch was never our BRO

Glad to see Cypher and BROkeeper croak though. They were getting more than a little taint on them. At least by croaking now, they were still the good guys by the time they exited stage left.

Personally, I'd rather see how everyone's favourite emofags are doing, but I'm probably in a minority here.

 

[Azira]

The eldar have their god Khaine back. I'd wager they paint all their armor red and yellow in his name, and take the fight to Slaanesh. They don't care about the monkeys..

 

[Azael]

I'm guessing the Broclusiarch will bitch slap Abaddon and show him how a war is supposed to be fought.

Anyway, allying with Xenos is the "better" choice?

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

Good to see such awesome characters dying a glorious death.

This continues to be awesome Root!

 

[Jick Magger]

...So what now?
Tzeentch is dead, Deceiver is dead, majority of the characters introduced in the LP are dead, Cadia is totaled, and the Void Dragon is still up to no good.
Where do we go from here?

Anyway, allying with Xenos is the "better" choice?

I hardly think living with the disgrace that is getting help from filthy Eldritched abomination wannabe xenos scum can be considered a "better" choice.

 

[Azael]

Their death was glorious, really something else. I thought Ahriman's motivation was to replace Tzeentch, not kill him.

True. Better to die a hero than to live long enough to see you become a villain.

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

So, Tzeentch, Emperror and Deceiver are dead. If the Laughing God was the same as the Deceiver then all the wise and planning gods are dead. No more of their strings, no more of their grand designs. Lesser creatures can shape their own destiny.

Now it's only small matter of getting rid of the dragon to free the machines from his yoke and killing the crazy ass outsider and all will be fine and dandy.

 

[treave]

MAIM AND KILL!

MAIM AND KILL!

MAIM AND KILL!

 

[DwarvenFood]

Excellent, very nice read. Thank you root for this gem.

Also: Ahriman that was my true bro for a while.


So now.. are we gonna get stuck wit da boyz ??

You know, I read up on Warp travel. There might still be more than the Calixis Sector to save out there. Even without the Astronomican to guide ships, jumps of 4-5 light years are possible. Maybe even longer when there's a functioning Navigator aboard, but I guess much shorter than 5000 light years that were possible with the Astronomican. Either way, there might still be hive worlds receiving supplies from agri worlds and thus not starving to death.

Well, with the Dragon on the throne, things should be back to business...

Maybe not pleasant business, but regular and efficient like a clock at least.

We don't really know for sure that Ahriman is dead and gone. Root wrote that he smiled as the psychich backlash flayed his flesh, not that he died from the flaying. He just might have done what you suggested, and ascended over the ashen corpse that was Tzeentch.

We don't know for sure.

here is a preview of what is to come:

tau will become extinct

 

[Jaedar]

Brokeeper is dead. And to mark his passing a world that withstood numerous black crusades: Ruined.
