The Bloody Gates - Play by Post in the 41st Millenium

About the adventure

"The Emperor gives you life; the Commissar gives you a direction. Now move." In The Bloody Gates, you aren't legendary heroes or demigods. You are the Expendables. As members of a Penal Legion, you have been plucked from a cold prison cell, handed a lasgun with a flickering power cell, and told that your crimes can only be washed away in the blood of the enemy. The setting is the world of Avachrus, a planet of crushing industry and toxic smog. A critical promethium refinery has fallen to the heretical forces of the Archenemy. If the Imperium cannot retake the massive dam-walls protecting the refinery, the war effort in the sector will grind to a halt. The Mission You are part of the "First Wave." While the glorious artillery hammers the walls, your squad must scale the sheer, 1,000-meter-tall face of the Great Dam. You will fight through frantic trench warfare, avoid sniper fire from the battlements, and pray your bayonets don't snap when you finally reach the top. There is no retreat; there is only the choice between the enemy's blade or the Commissar's bolt pistol.
