Mordecai: yeah i’m

Captain N. Barrow: Barrow da bess
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Titan: http://pastebin.com/WdF6ZsWz
Ancient tank: http://pastebin.com/sJffLRt6
…Will start when Shino reconnects I guess
MysteryGuy: oh fun
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Who’s on what part of the tank?
Harbinger: I’m not on the gun if at all possible
due to lack of las proficiency
Jerrick Kamris: we’ll put kel on main gun
dani would ideally be driving
Harbinger: Jerrick and Mandala can be on the other two guns
Rogue Trader GM (GM): there are 4 guns
Harbinger: well one is operated by the same gunner
Rogue Trader GM (GM): oh right las+ main is- yeah
nevermind
which gun does jerry want
Jerrick Kamris: i wonder if i could just poke my head out and melta things
Rogue Trader GM (GM): also facing is where the cannon is
Jerrick Kamris: that’d be more effective than one of the plasma guns i think
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You could open the door, though that opens the tank up for fire on that side.
Jerrick Kamris: oh
that’d probably be a bad idea then
Rogue Trader GM (GM):

Jerrick Kamris: the left plasma thingy
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mandala on the right?
Jerrick Kamris: also important question can i use precision telekinesis for this or do i have to resort to my awful base BS
Mandala Sigyn: yeah, I’ll take the right
although my BS is not the best in the group
Jerrick Kamris: yeah that’s fine, we’re more support gunnin’ anyway
Rogue Trader GM (GM): I… gues you can
Jerrick Kamris: also we’ll be racking up so many bonuses
Harbinger: …if we fire the plasma on maximal and it overheats
what happens to the tank
‘?’
Danielle Seamus: well no sense worrying about that
Mandala Sigyn: (just for your info, I upped my BS a little bit)
(and let’s try not to overheat the plasma cannons, plzkthx)
Jerrick Kamris: we’re upside-down
Danielle Seamus: jerryyyyyyyyyyyy
The tank lands onto the highest deck of one of the fallen titan’s legs. Wounds to the wargod’s carapace made long ago reveal the creatures other leg, an old man leaping behind cover while a group of robed humans with cybernetics look at your arrival in shock. Two dreadnought-sized automatons stand up, wearing the red of the mechanicum mixed with the golden shade of the Imperium.
On the walls, you can see paintings, still fresh despite the 10,000 years this goliath has rested here. One depicts a man tearing off the head of a golden figure, another a group of locusts eating into the flesh of priests. As you see them you find it hard to pull your eyes away…
Rogue Trader GM (GM): GAME
START
Perception checks
to pull your eyes away from the horrible chaos painting through the viewports!
Danielle Seamus: just checking - perception, not awareness, right?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yeah.

probably not
Rogue Trader GM (GM): This is the same titan you found the daemon engine.
Jerrick Kamris: because it was just possessed by a daemon there’s probably all kinds of crazy shit down here
Danielle Seamus: this chaos malarkey doesn’t seem very predictable
I call shenanigans
on account of it being too chaotic
Jerrick Kamris: what about friend space marine
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Any anti-corruption stuff up?

welp
Danielle Seamus: I’ve got my Pure Faith immunity running for me personally but I think that’s it
short of maybe Armour of Contempt
Mandala Sigyn: I have my Scintillating Shroud and Armour of Contempt
Jerrick Kamris: all i got is AoC~
Danielle Seamus: to be clear, I can bless you all to not get corruption in this battle
it will also make all daemonic enemies
turn invisible to us
Mandala Sigyn: uh, is that a good idea?
Danielle Seamus: it is quite possibly a horrible idea
I recommend corruption
Jerrick Kamris: yeah i think we should just
take it
i mean it’s not like anyone’s in danger of gaining 100 corruption and becoming unplayable mirite
Danielle Seamus: no one even has a MALIGNANCY except like
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (god karma already ripped into me for that daemon incursion giving no corruption)
Danielle Seamus: Barrow
Mordecai: it’s about time we turned this game into bc
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 1
Really
REALLY
Danielle Seamus: hooray
Jerrick Kamris: excellent
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 1 corruption
I think only the Astartes takes it
…No, he ignores it too
Bloody Astartes
Wait, Kel might not have any protection
Danielle Seamus: he doesn’t I believe
finally more capitalism points
Jerrick Kamris: well he’s a horrible xenos so who cares if he gets corrupted
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Most of you have souls warded enough against the horrors of the warp to suffer no ill effects, but as you finally tear your eyes away you can feel something from the paintings tugging at your very souls.
Mordecai: it just makes him better at his job
Mandala Sigyn: “The brushwork on that mural is contemptible.”
Por’la Kel’mara : dang i got one capitalism.
Danielle Seamus: I’ll make a Tests of Faith activation of Divine Guidance as we enter the battlefield.
You can ignore one penalty to hit with ranged weapons and if you score Righteous Fury, you may trade the RF in exchange for ignoring the target’s APs.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The machines rear up towards you, one hand appearing to have a giant chainblade, the other a large plasma cannon.

for a second i thought Dracul’s token was a picture of SHODAN
now i don’t know whether orto be happy or disappointed
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Sorry I apparently need you all on the map
to do initiative
ANYONE I MISSED
Danielle Seamus: Harbinger pulls back from the lurching sensation in the aftermath of the warp portal and checks the augurs. “It doesn’t look like we’re alone here! Throne, what *is* that…?”
Por’la Kel’mara : our tank is upside down _
Mandala Sigyn: don’t think so?
Por’la Kel’mara : unless that’s NOT our tank xd
Danielle Seamus: I’m just that good at drivin kelly
Por’la Kel’mara : >Well Played!
Por’la Kel’mara gives his trademark “Oh dear…”
Jerrick Kamris: no no it’s just we’re looking at it from above and it might seem like it’s upside-down but really it’s just the angle
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Facing is important for vehicles
So
There we go
It’s facing left now
JERRICK
Por’la Kel’mara : (oh i forgot faing was a thing
Jerrick Kamris:
rolling 1d100 gonna just pop a fettered precision TK
(

can i actually shoot anything
or is it only stuff on the left side of us
Por’la Kel’mara begins giving himself an armaments crash courrse
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Give me a Mechanicum lore Danielle
Danielle Seamus:

5 DoS
And if you’re on the left plasma cannon you can only shoot things in our left arc, so, south of us.
Jerrick Kamris: alright
so that’s it from me~
Por’la Kel’mara : (ya i got the tank sheet open, ty :) )
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Dani, these are Imperial Knights; one-man ‘Titans’, war machines piloted by the famed Knight Houses of the Imperium, usually found on feudal worlds.
Jerrick Kamris: okay we need to kill the pilots and take these with us on our way out too
Por’la Kel’mara : we’ll add it to our list of ’we’re coming back, buying/conquering mars, and taking everything’ list
Rogue Trader GM (GM): These ones in particular look to be from an Imperial-loyal house as opposed to a mechanicum one, and are the standard Paladin models.
Alright, Dracul’s turn
_{You can’t beat old technology, can ya, lads and laddettes?}
You can see him on the side viewport, Mandala, clutching his clone head and waving at the ancient tank.
Danielle Seamus: “Ugh the depths of his insanity continue to be matched by his inanity.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 39 Unfettered
_{Gotta.. ask yourself though… did they remember to make it fire proof?}
A concentrated beam of molten fire escapes from his hand, hitting the tank.
Mandala Sigyn: ruh roh
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 29, Pen 14
Side armour
Danielle Seamus: soaked
wait
no
was looking at the titan stats

Rogue Trader GM (GM): No it isn’t
>>
Por’la Kel’mara : i WISH we were in the titan x
d
Rogue Trader GM (GM): not TOO much damage though
Danielle Seamus: that’s like a fifth of our hull integrity!
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 11 points of damage.
Danielle Seamus yelps as the side of the tank alights with psychic flame.
Danielle Seamus: “What the hell was that!?”
Por’la Kel’mara : “A-are we on fire?!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): _{Looks like they didn’t. How fethin’ careless. Builders, eh?}
Mandala!
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick frowns. “I could’ve done better,” he mutters.
Mandala Sigyn: “That looks like one of Jerrick’s tricks. Now let’s see if Dracul can take as well as he gives.”
(plasma blast at Dracul)
(I think that’s close range?)
Jerrick Kamris: (yeah)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yep but one sec
Jerrick Kamris: (everything is gonna be short range here)

Mandala Sigyn: bah humbug
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Dracul starts moving before the shot is fired.
Mandala Sigyn: (blast 1, if that matters)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): _{I have this forebodin’ feeling you were aiming that at me, Mandy. You want to kill me, girl?1}
He dodges outside the blast radius. Anything else?
Danielle Seamus: “Let’s focus on his little helpers before we make the concerted effort to bring him down. He’s trying to stall us out.”
Danielle Seamus huffs. “Not a lot of room to maneuver here, and the path is blocked…”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): _{I’ve never even owned a market!}
Mandala Sigyn: (I can’t do anything else, so no)
Danielle Seamus: “Emperor Kamris I wish you could get that blathering fool out of my head.”
Harbinger: (maybe start aiming for next round!)
(or did you already aim this round)
Mandala Sigyn: (I didn’t, so I’ll aim for next round)
Danielle Seamus guns the Leman Russ’s engines to life.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
Jerrick Kamris: “We’ll have to put up with it for now.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Danielle!
Danielle Seamus: “Hold on everyone!! I’m going to, uh.”
“Ram it.”
Skaldr: “DRIVE OVER THE RUBBLE LIKE THE FATHER HIMSELF!”
Danielle Seamus: “Yes that.”

Harbinger streaks the mighty tank straight for the first Knight.
And bouncing off the rubble, attempts to crash right into it.
(this action can be Dodged, but not Parried)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 40

It
is dodged
Danielle Seamus: dangit doj
Mandala Sigyn: “Well that didn’t quite go according to plan.”
Danielle Seamus: “Oh, for feth’s sake,” Dani mutters as the Knight jumps back. “Well, not quite yet, Sigyn.”
“SENESCHAL!! BLOW IT AWAY!!!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): POR’LA

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Lessee pen 8

Por’la Kel’mara : >_________>
(we’d soak 20 from the front awayays!!)

Danielle Seamus: stunned for 2 rounds
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The pilot is stunned.
Danielle Seamus: and probably knocked prone unless it has an SB of 22
oh wait no an SB of 5 it’s probably up
Por’la Kel’mara : "Holding visual for the next volley when it’s ready… We’ve got direct hits from both shots.

IMPERIAL KNIGHT 2

Jerrick Kamris: oh no we got left behind
when the tank rammed into the walker
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Ehhh that’s still a shot on the tan-
Danielle Seamus: see you tanklords
Rogue Trader GM (GM): I grouped them all up
for myself
Jerrick Kamris: oh
Rogue Trader GM (GM): I can’t move them without moving the tank >_>
Por’la Kel’mara : yeah grouping in r20 is
a little odd
you’ll hav e to ungroup them
Jerrick Kamris: just leave us off the the side imo
so we don’t have to worry about it
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Hmm I’ll let you guys judge
Por’la Kel’mara : (I just use the drag select box for furutre refecne)
Danielle Seamus: I might wanna jump out
after I get us wrecked
Rogue Trader GM (GM): would the imperial knight be able to fire on the rear armour from where he is
Danielle Seamus: on the rear, no
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Side it is
Danielle Seamus: I’m technically a diagonal NW facing
on that ram
Rogue Trader GM (GM): There we go then
Danielle Seamus: that’s REAL north
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 88
the tank cannon
Jerrick Kamris: space north
Rogue Trader GM (GM): is facing north-west

counting dracul’s damage
lemme see where
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Dracul hit you for 10
Danielle Seamus: *11
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You have 55 hull integrity- YES FINE
Danielle Seamus: oh wait I added that wrong
no wait

Okay still not in crit

Por’la Kel’mara : ‘half dead’ and ‘-3 crit’ ar every different 0_0
Danielle Seamus: that’s right

Rogue Trader GM (GM): A cultist away from the crowd holds up an advanced rocket-propulsion weapon, firing an explosive weapzon at zzyzzzzzozzzzzuzzzzzz.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
You

…And somehow misses
The missile detonates harmlessly against the Emperor Titan’s shell, exploding with an audible KRAK sound.
The rest of the horde attempts to fire at your side armour.

Rogue Trader GM (GM): ONE POINT OF DAMAGE
Danielle Seamus: takin’ it
Mordecai: hail lasguns
Rogue Trader GM (GM): As a stray las shot overheats a nail next to Kel’mara’s head
The next round off gunfire is about to start, but outside Mordecai has other issues…
MORDECAI!
Por’la Kel’mara ducks dow, covering his head with a startled yell
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Will you fully link up with the titan? You will only be able to operate one weapon at a time otherwise.
Mordecai: Well it’s not like I’m gonna survive ANYWAY
Let’s go all out
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Oh right, Danielle
You know Imperial Knights also have Ion Shields, but they can only cover on angle of attack at once.
Unlike the stronger void shields.
The one you surprised with a ram appears to have not had time to put his up;.
Danielle Seamus: that would be so useful if I knew what those were
I’ll assume ‘quasi-void shields’
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright Mordecai you link up to the war machine. As yoru MIU implants go haywire, you notice that the machine spirits appear to be sentient.
They’re like a titan’s void shields
only from one angle at a time
and with less AP
Mordecai: dangit worst case scenario
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Titan feels.. happy you have linked up to it. It has been waiting for orders for nearly 10,000 years, since something in its records called the ‘Schism’.
It appears to have been part of an entire squad of titans sent to guard something called ‘the Dragon’, but most of its squad mates have been destroyed. Along with all of its previous crew.
It is patiently awaiting guidance.
The C’Tan Shard is flying above you. Auguries detect no Void Shields, but can’t identify many of the readings emanating from it.
Mordecai: “New orders, destroy the unknown enemy which has invaded the depths of Holy Mars by any means necessary.”
Lock on to that shard.

A giant ray destroys a scout titan wreck next ot you.
The creature flies further out; it’s about 100m away at the moment.
Your move!
Mordecai: Hey that’s close range for everything
FIRE ALL THE BIG GUNS AT FULL POWER
Also is there decent cover I can get to with a half move?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yeah, the Emperor TItan!

Mordecai: more damage more pen usually makes it need to recharge but not here apparently
Rogue Trader GM (GM): all hail ttians
Mordecai: 22 more damage
then I’m gonna hop behind the emprah for cover
Danielle Seamus: it also uses up considerably more ammunition but also perhaps not a factor here
Por’la Kel’mara : reload when you’re DEAD
Danielle Seamus: …*will* be a factor if it overheats
however
Mordecai: Clip -
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 61
Mordecai, you do some severe damage to the shard.
Danielle Seamus: oh it’s VOLATILE
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The creature wheels back for a second, before starting to glow white.
Danielle Seamus: though I think that’s been replaced by Maximal Overheats etc
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You can see a warhound titan ripped off the floor that was its grave, is torn apart, metal shards flying in be absorbed by the C’Tan shard.
It looks noticeably bigger.
Mordecai: Uh oh
Rogue Trader GM (GM): it fires another laser at you.
37
THIS one hits.
Mordecai: not if I JINK
Rogue Trader GM (GM): True
Mordecai: KARMA HOW DO I
Harbinger: the penalty on jink *has* to be like -60
for a walker of this size
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yeaaah
But you can TRY

Mordecai: is the emprah over ap 30
that’ll eat 14 into void shield at least
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It counts as AP 20 in its current state.
Mordecai: useless emprah
Yeah that’ll eat 14 into Void Shield 1
11 more till that’s down
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The machine spirit displays warning signs in your mind.
Suddenly, you can SEE the electrical god inside the shard’s frame.

Danielle Seamus: cut off the tech-priest head and the snake titan will die
or something
Jerrick Kamris: i think barrow’s going to have to go without an explorator, ours keep getting subverted by machine gods
Mordecai: man it’s no wonder drakky joined that team
Rogue Trader GM (GM): MEANWHILE
Mandala, you see a giant gauss beam cut through the leg of the titan and out the other side.
Danielle Seamus flinches as she tries the mico-bead again in futility. “Genetor, what’s the status out there!? Respond!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Wreckage falls, plugging the gap between the legs and coming dangerously close to falling on your tank.
_{Bravo! Your plan is to get us all killed! Int’resting! I mean, I’m in a clone, so I don’t care, but I gotta admire the GUMPTION.}
Danielle Seamus: “Kamris, these things have pilots. Can you disable the one closest to us before it gets back in action?”
Jerrick Kamris: “I’ll see what I can do.”
time to drop everything
and try a mind crush
on the pilot of this knight next to us
er
not crush
Jerrick Kamris: DEATH GRIP
that’s
what i want
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Do you need line of sight?
Jerrick Kamris: hmm
Danielle Seamus: I don’t believe so lemme look
Rogue Trader GM (GM): If not, go ahead.
Danielle Seamus: no it’s not projected force
it’s, like, force choke
from star wars
Jerrick Kamris: well that’s line of effect
Danielle Seamus: psychic powers generally don’t NEED line of effect
that’s a D&D conceit

Jerrick Kamris: oh, hrm
Unless noted in its description, a psychic power that directly
targets an individual or thing requires a psyker to have line
of sight toward (or otherwise be “aware” of ) the target. The
target must also be within the power’s stated range.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You’re
Danielle Seamus: “aware of”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): aware of the target
go ahead
Jerrick Kamris: okay
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Danielle can pin-point the location of the pilot
let’s give it a -10
Danielle Seamus: lucky for us he’s stunned
Rogue Trader GM (GM): INDEED
Jerrick Kamris: a -10
as if i’ll fail on anything less than what i normally autofail at

rolling 1d100 unfettered full powah death grip go~
(
48
)
=
48
Rogue Trader GM (GM): rip
Danielle Seamus: IT MATTERS FOR DOS
Jerrick Kamris: oh
i
suppose
Danielle Seamus: opposed toughness test by the stunned pilot
as opposed to the actual knight
Jerrick Kamris: it’s opposed WP actually
for death grip
Danielle Seamus: right right
I’m thinking of your other power
Jerrick Kamris: ya
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 48 lol
he autofails
anyway
because stunned
Jerrick Kamris:
rolling 1d10+9 oh
(
6
)
+9
=
15
well
15 damage ignoring ap/tb
Danielle Seamus: NOW he makes a toughness test
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 34
He… succeeds
just
no dos
Jerrick Kamris: not stunned then
Danielle Seamus: okay no further effect
Jerrick Kamris: again
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He is however
dead
normal human~
Jerrick Kamris: well at least he’s not stunned
Danielle Seamus: well played
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Anything elsE?
Jerrick Kamris: nope
unless there is something else i can do
which there probably isn’t
Danielle Seamus: “Alright!! That looks like it did the trick, Kamris. Put him to sleep, did you?”
(you could aim)
Jerrick Kamris: (at what)
Danielle Seamus: ‘??’
Jerrick Kamris: “Yes. Sleep. Let’s go with that.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): DRACUL
_{Oh for the-}
Mandala and Dani, and Kel’mara I GUESS, can see Dracul shouting orders at the cultists, who prepare to aim at the places Jerrick keeps poking his head out.
Dracul clutches his head again, waving at the tank. No lasers appear this time.
64 UNFETTERED HAYWIRE FIELD
Jerrick Kamris: oh
Mandala Sigyn: (oh dear)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): er Objuration mechanicum
Jerrick Kamris: he’s just stealing all my moves isn’t he
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 9
Jerrick Kamris: oh
Mordecai: you were a dracul clone all along
Rogue Trader GM (GM): No, he rolled more than a 4
Jerrick Kamris: damn
Danielle Seamus: maybe he’ll steal your move of the haywire field not work- DAMMIT
our TANK
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Dead Zone:Technology within the affected
area completely ceases to function. Power armour
becomes unpowered reducing the wearer’s move
to 1. Characters with cybernetic replacements to
any internal organ(s) suffer one level of Fatigue
each Round they remain in the Dead Zone. Melee
Rogue Trader GM (GM): weapons with technological components (i.e. power
swords) function as a Primitive weapon of their type
Danielle Seamus: now we have to get out and change the music to Revengeance
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He also got the imperial knight suit
Jerrick Kamris: yes but we already killed the pilot
Danielle Seamus: also I am really glad right now that I did not get bionic lungs
like REALLY
Jerrick Kamris: ikr
Danielle Seamus: “I… what… what the feth is happening!?!?”
Danielle Seamus bangs uselessly on the controls.
Por’la Kel’mara : “I’ve got a ful systems failure!”
Skaldr: “I CAN ONLY BREATHE OUT OF ON PAIR OF LUNGS!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): *one
Danielle Seamus: I should probably note however that given that I was ramming speed last round
that momentum is gonna take me somewhere
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yeah fair
Danielle Seamus: regardless of technology
Por’la Kel’mara : right off the titan RIP
Danielle Seamus: augh
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You ram the titan.
It does not dodge.
Danielle Seamus:
rolling 1d10+40 take this titan
(

)
+40
=
43
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Half the tank is stuck in the field still.
Danielle Seamus: …now the titan deals damage equal to its APs plus 1d5
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Titan is half-destroyed and shoved out of the field.
Danielle Seamus: against the tank
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 17 Most of its defences are TB + the ion field >>
Danielle Seamus: whoo
that means the engines crap
Por’la Kel’mara : running headlong, the optimal decision once again
Danielle Seamus: we still can’t move
Mordecai: get out and push
Jerrick Kamris: at least we still got GUNS
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You can fire any frontal weapons and the IMPERIAL KNIGHT is free
Por’la Kel’mara : “We’re… we stopped. That’s not good.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): if anyone has drive/walker
Por’la Kel’mara : “I’v got operation weapons though!”
*operational
Danielle Seamus: I’ve been waiting my whole life for this
bailing into the Knight
all systems go and END TURN
(oh wait Mandala has a turn)
Por’la Kel’mara : (why do *I* have the aura oh god am i the haywire target does it follow me)
Danielle Seamus: “YOU DIDN’T PUT HIM TO SLEEP AT ALL KAMRIS.”
Jerrick Kamris: “I most certainly did, if you use a very loose definition of sleep.”
Danielle Seamus: “I DO NOT.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Also yes
Mandala goes
first
…Making Kel’mara the haywire zone was a bad idea
one sec
Por’la Kel’mara : xd
Mordecai: god now theres TWO
there you go
Por’la Kel’mara : my action depends on if this wonderfl turret rotates, if it doesn’t i’ll have to climb out since i can’t aim it towards our hated foez
Can Irotatethe battle cannon to aim it towards the still manned hostile Knight?
and does it take an action if so
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The battlecannon can be rotated
The lascannon cannot.
Mandala Sigyn: (sorry about that, got dragged off to see baby videos)
(can I actually fire my cannon?)
Danielle Seamus: (np you still have a turn for anything you want to do)
Por’la Kel’mara : Gonna do some fantastic battlecannon blasting in the center there to try and catch all three of them in the blast 10 radius, but i’ll le tmandy do her thing first since she’s fasta
Danielle Seamus: no only our frontal weapons are operable mandy
Mandala Sigyn: (so I can’t actually do anything, so I guess I’ll hold my turn)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
Danielle!
Jerrick Kamris: already did her turn
Danielle Seamus: I used my turn to switch into the Knight
Jerrick Kamris: KEL
Danielle Seamus: we’re at Kel
Jerrick Kamris: time to ROCK
Por’la Kel’mara : Gonna rotate turret and fire and blow these nerds to hell
Jerrick Kamris: if you aim it like two squares to the right of dracul
you’ll give him very little room to dodge
and still get the horde and the knight
Por’la Kel’mara :
rolling 1d100 v 77 i’ll fate for na extra +10 this is p important, ok that seems good moggymog

Por’la Kel’mara : dis gui
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 83 Imperial Knight can just above dodge out
NO IT CAN’T
Danielle Seamus: “How is he DODGING these!?”
Jerrick Kamris: he’s got a lot of perception :

Danielle Seamus: ignore AP do it
you got it
Por’la Kel’mara : “He… he’s moving before I even finish the fire sequence!”
do i eevn roll Fury for that? it ignored it beforei thought
Mordecai: roll every useless rf
Por’la Kel’mara : 1d5 hell yeah
rolling 1d5 i mean HEL LYEAH
(

(+2 if crack shot it applicable _)
Harbinger: you can instead of imposing a useless RF
ignore all the target’s APs
Rogue Trader GM (GM): you can ignore the ion field AP
too
Harbinger: thanks to divine guidance
Por’la Kel’mara : o dang THATS what you meant
let’s do THAT one
f*ck AP
Danielle Seamus: man that’s gonna be a lot of dead cultists
Rogue Trader GM (GM): yeah penetrates their armour
how much mag damage
Danielle Seamus: 10
Por’la Kel’mara : Blast 10
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Most of the horde is beaten up and as for the knight
9
NOT CONCUSSED
The not-concussed Imperial Knight fires on you, Danielle.

Heavy support cultist fires another rocket at Kel’mara before reloading.

Por’la Kel’mara : aaaa
Rogue Trader GM (GM): This time she hits your side armour!
Mordecai: kelly pls
Danielle Seamus: jink is impossible for several reasons
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 21 pen 8, concussive 3, proven 2
Por’la Kel’mara : i need a toughness check i believe? at -30

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yeah
and anyone else still inside!
Por’la Kel’mara :

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mandala still inside?
Danielle Seamus: I believe so
Jerrick Kamris: ya
Danielle Seamus: may be afk though
Rogue Trader GM (GM): well doesn’t have to make test STRAIGHT away
Mandala Sigyn: (yeah, I’m here)
Por’la Kel’mara is tossed about by the force of the explosion and rendered briefly incapacitated
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The hordes are delaying their shot for a chance at Jerrick.
Danielle Seamus: fyi you can spend a fate point to become immediately unstunned
Mandala Sigyn:
rolling 1d100

=
0 Successes
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Kel’mara, you’re stunned for one round per DoF
Danielle Seamus: since it seems relevant
Mandala Sigyn: uh oh
that’s a fail
Danielle Seamus: just save your fate and use it to unstun yourself instead
Rogue Trader GM (GM): same with Mandala but what Dani said applies.
Jerrick Kamris: ya
Rogue Trader GM (GM): ROUND OVER
(Kel, Mandala, will you spend a fate to become immediately unstunned?)
Por’la Kel’mara : ^^
(yes)
“Hrgghh… let’s… try not to have that happen again….”
Mandala Sigyn: (that depends on whether I can actually do anything)
(I believe my gun is still non-operational, right?)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It is, though the field dies each round
*dies down
Jerrick Kamris: still complete shutdown for another two rounds though iirc
Rogue Trader GM (GM): and as is your stunned for around 7 rounds
Mandala Sigyn: (so why would I spend a fate to unstun when I can’t even act?)
Danielle Seamus: you can always leave the tank
Por’la Kel’mara : ^
Danielle Seamus: I certainly did

Por’la Kel’mara : (I stayed in b/c i can rotate the main battle cannon to kepe firing)
(also because the tank is pretty safe for squishy non-psi using me!!)
Mandala Sigyn: “Okay, fuck this,” Mandala says, getting out of the tank. “Everyone’s getting incinerated.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): ALRIGHT
MEANWHILE
Mandala Sigyn: (I’m gonna use Immolate the Soul)
(Once I can find my token)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): There
Imperial Knight 2 is under Dani’s command
Mandala Sigyn: (that’s why I got out of the way)
(incinerating Imperial Knight 1 and the horde)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
Neither can dodge
Though I guess the knight gets an agility chance
70
And does not succeed.
Mandala Sigyn:

against the horde…
(what’s the damage that a heavy flamer does?)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): None of them are corrupted.
Actually the horde.. lessee
48 DID THEY PASS THEIR PERCEPTION CHECK
They did not
1 corruption!
Mandala Sigyn: (that doesn’t do anything)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Heavy Flamer Heavy 30m S/–/– 1d10+5 E 4 10 2 Full Flame, Spray 45kg Rare
Mandala Sigyn: (I was talking about the horde damage)
Harbinger: (1 corruption for NPCs is like 20 corruption for PCs tho >.>)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): oh right
I believe it’s 1d5+range/5?
Danielle Seamus: range/4
Mandala Sigyn: (range is 60, so that’s 15)
1d5+15
rolling 1d5+15

(wait, 30, so… that should be 7, not 15)
Danielle Seamus: so 9 mag damage

They stay together
Alright, anything else?
The dead are starting to outnumber the living.
Danielle Seamus: think that’s all her actions
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
Mandala Sigyn: (nope, I’m done)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): MORDECAI!
Your enemy is regenerating.
Mordecai: “So, this is what swayed Jevican Draklinus to tech-heresy… I will not be so easily swayed, my flesh and soul belong only to the Omnissiah.”

Mordecai: no
Danielle Seamus: phew
Mordecai: i failed to get them
Danielle Seamus: I think even with 7 though
it’ll be a failure?
Mordecai: yeah
tho that’s only 6 above
depends on if mechanicus specific stuff counts
Danielle Seamus: so it comes down to the enhanced potentia coil which I *believe* counts as it’s in the Cybernetics section?
I’ll double-check
yeah it’s in Cybernetics
mechanicus implants also count as a LOT of implants so it just matters if they count or not
Por’la Kel’mara : rip mordy, nice knowin ya cant w8 to fight you as bbeg 2.0

Dracul blew up your ride.
Danielle Seamus hauls herself out of the flaming wreckage of the Knight, eyes blazing as a sharp crackle dances across her irises.
Dracul: “Oh good. You’re not a dead’un. Was starting to make me worried, me old chummer.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Dracul? Don’t speak until spoken to.”
Danielle Seamus: Jerry
can you take
a Soulstorm
Jerrick Kamris: a what
i have 7 wounds
so
Danielle Seamus: it’s only like 2d10 damage ignoring ap and tb to psykers
and then possibly 2d10 more damage and lose all access to your powers
Jerrick Kamris: that would possibly kill me

AND RIP IT OFF THE KNIGHT
it’s probably the size of Dreknung or thereabouts
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Sure
Danielle Seamus: I’ll activate Hand of the Emperor
to give myself unnatural strength
and rip it off the chassis as I exit
move with a flying leap onto the cover adjacent to Dracul and swift attack
I’m assuming this is too unwieldy for lightning

A piece of rubble neatly impales the cockpit of the until now still living Knight pilot.
And then all is still.
Danielle Seamus stands shakily, quickly releasing her grasp on the knightblade just before her arm is wrenched from her socket.
Danielle Seamus: “Did… did we…”
“I’m not even sure, did we win or lose?”
Jerrick Kamris: “It’s over,” Jerrick says simply, looking at the charred mess that was Dracul’s clone.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The charred mess is breathing.
Jerrick Kamris: “…Or not.”
Kahnak Rith: “I do not know what I landed on, but I believe it has been felled.” Rith rises.
Danielle Seamus: “Figures my expense account would make it through.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “THE KROOT SLEW THE NECTONTYR FILTH?” The Space Wolf staggers out of the Russ. “Truly, a day of glory.”
Dracul: “Mag… nificent. Really More like you… this wouldn’t… be needed… Imperium would be SAVED.”
Mordecai is gonna check the remains for any sign of regeneration and melt any significant part with more glorious plasma.
Danielle Seamus: “The Imperium doesn’t need *your* kind of saving.”
Kahnak Rith: “Disappointing, it was already dead as I fell, I cannot claim that prize.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Really… Dani? Younger and younger children… send to die in the Astra Militarum… more and more sent to appease… the houses… more and more like Jerrick appearing… and the Imperium… is DYING…”
Por’la Kel’mara cautiously clambers out of the life-saving tin can
Mandala Sigyn: “Danielle, please execute the heretic.”
Skaldr: “A good saga needs embellishment.”
Por’la Kel’mara : "I’m not really sure what we just did needs embellishment, does it?
Skaldr: “EVERYTHING needs embellishment.”
Kahnak Rith: “Custom noted.”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick looks at the barely breathing Dracul, and sighs, looking to the others. “I’m going to regret this, but… It may be time to get the full story, now that we have the opportunity.”
Por’la Kel’mara : mm-mm taste that corruption
Danielle Seamus levels the catalytic mass driver at the smoldering corpse. “They say the same things about the Age of Apostasy, just before Sebastian Thor revealed himself to the galaxy.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Vandire was in charge… a mere hundred of years… his ‘decline’ was nothing. You’ve seen… the Inquisitorial records, Dani. How long has the Imperium been losing? How long have we been willing to forsake… our own methods for victory? 5000 years ago I would have… been the biggest apostate since the Warmaster… in the last 1000, I’m barely top ten…”
He spits blood and flesh. “DRAKLINUS… gave me a run for my bloody money.”
Danielle Seamus: Danielle narrows her eyes into slits and sighs like she’s about to do something she really regrets.
“The Primaris Ploris project. Your prophecy.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Y… yeah.”
Danielle Seamus: “You were trying to twist it to your own end. End the slow death of the Imperium in one fell swoop.”
“But what about its original meaning?”
Mandala Sigyn: “By killing it all fast like.”
“Brilliant strategy.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Either… save it… or end the suffering. Either way. Works.”
“Original? Does it… really matter?” Dracul eyes bore into Danielle.
Danielle Seamus coughs a bit as her eyes gleam. “You know, there’s still more shards out there.”
Danielle Seamus: “One closer than you may think.”
Mandala Sigyn: “…What.”
Skaldr: “IS IT THE TAU!”
Por’la Kel’mara : “WHAT”
Dracul: “You’re… having an old man on…”
Danielle Seamus: “Did you ever actually *find* Draklinus’s hidden shard?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “…I’m guessing you know the answer to… to that.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Danielle? This conversation is going in a very not-good direction.”
Danielle Seamus looks dismissively at Mandala as she edges closer to Dracul.
Danielle Seamus: “What are the shards *supposed* to be able to do, Inquisitor Dracul?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Pos… Ah.”
Danielle Seamus: “You’ve still got a body left, don’t you?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Just… about…”
Danielle Seamus: Harbinger rubs her temples more fiercely, leveling the catalytic mass driver more steadily. “Time’s running short, Inquisitor. And there’s still someone that could help bring about your prophecy to fruition.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Alright. Alright.”
Danielle Seamus: “If not the way you envisioned it.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “The original… part of it Jerrick saw, you know. The original part. A rogue trader would step out of the past in the shadow of Maccragge… Alexandria… Barrow.”
Mandala Sigyn: “What the hell is going on?”
Danielle Seamus: “Alexandria is dead.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “You killed her again? A pity… I thought seeing her in that pit of inequity… it doesn’t matter. She came out of the past.”
“As promised.”
“The sword of her name was supposed to be the key… to a place to summon… Kaos’ opposite. Its greatest enemy. In my youth, I naturally thought it would be the Emperor. Now… well.”
“‘Sword of her name’. Gives some leeway, doesn’t it? Ha. Hak. Even if N’s a fake, she took her name. She’s not even the only… Barrow… anymore, but I’m getting a head of myself.”
“The shards of the dragon. I think you saw that part. The antithesis… of the Ruinous Powers… were needed for the summoning. Thought it means pariahs, or some kinda mutant first. The C’tan thing was a… bloody shock, I can tell you.”
Danielle Seamus: "And for the place of summoning, I’m assuming…
“’It Will All End in Jericho?‘’
Rogue Trader GM (GM): "Yeah… hence finding a way. Found a man… who knew a lot about the place. Said their was an entrance to the Eldar’s stinking library there… from ancient records. OBSSESSED with the black library, he was. Struck a bond…"
Dracul: “Heard a craftworld went up there too but you made sure THAT turned into a bloody mess.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He gestures to his body feebly. “Get… it?”
“Eldar were important. Psyker… energy was needed. Eldar would be dead. Two grox, one stone”
Danielle Seamus: “Psychic energy won’t be a problem.”
“Though I suppose you’d make sure of that either way, given the soul stones the Dynasty delivered to you.”
Dracul: “It was a nice back-up. As were those parasites. Nasty things, really; if it was… any xenos but the Eldar… I might even feel bad about using them.” He spits. “Any death’s too good for them.”
Danielle Seamus: “And yet you faltered. What changed?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Experimented… on Eldar subjects. Transmitted… their existence through my psi-wards. Bloody xenos. Made them think we were going to use them… to Exterminatus maiden worlds. Got them defensive and on edge.”
“You really… didn’t help.”
Danielle Seamus: “That’s what happens when you don’t coordinate,” Harbinger says with a shrug.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Heh… Suppose. Doesn’t matter. Less than adequate shards… but doesn’t matter. Already got a Barrow… going to Jericho..>”
Danielle Seamus: “Not quite. You’re forgetting one part of the prophecy, Dracul.”
“Piety must fall, her scion forged, better, stronger; she will be a key, but not the key.”
“I’m to bring you your shard.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Danielle, if you do this, we’re gonna have to kill you.”
Danielle Seamus tosses her weapon to the side, the archeotech relic clattering on the floor-walls of the Emperor Titan.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Yes. There was… that part…”
“Are you saying… yes. That would make sense.. someone who through off chaos possession… who surpassed slaughtering her own sisters…”
“The C’Tan… would LOVE you..>”
Danielle Seamus: “Follow me to Jericho,” Harbinger addresses the party. “And make sure to bring the captain with you.”
“If you don’t, you’ll never be able to stop me.”
Jerrick Kamris: “You can’t be serious…”
Skaldr: “Inquisitors. You can’t trust Inquisitors!” Skaldr roars, charging at Danielle.
Danielle Seamus: Activating Miracle Worker The Passion for Unnatural Agility (+8) to myself and Might of the Emperor for +10 more agility.
I’m going to backflip into the pit south of me.
yolooooooooooooo
Kahnak Rith: “…”
Skaldr: The astarte stops at the edge of the pit. “I don’t… she’s… WHY IS YOUR INQUISITOR A HERETIC AS WELl?!”
Jerrick Kamris: “SEAMUS!”
Danielle Seamus: I bet someone wishes they had their teleport right about now
:3
Jerrick Kamris: well
to be fair you’d be long gone before it came up
since it takes 3 rounds
Danielle Seamus: that’s fair
Jerrick Kamris: and who knows where you’re going
Dracul: “Well Jerry… I gotta say… I didn’t see this coming EITHER… hak hak hak…”
Mandala Sigyn: “It seems to be a common trait among Inquisitors, for some reason.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “Inquisitors, enginseers….”
Dracul: “Her and Kedan… never thought I’d.. see the day…”
Jerrick Kamris: “You…” Jerrick whirls around, approaching Dracul. “This is your doing… All of this…”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “I’m very.. persuasive. Might be a while… till you see your Sojourn too, little astropath.”
“But good… news. You’ve beaten me. This is the original… You’ve won. Doesn’t it taste SWEET?”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick pulls out his bolt pistol, leveling it at Dracul’s head. “No,” he says simply, before pulling the trigger.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Dracul dies mid-laugh, skull caved in by a bolter explosion.
Skaldr: “May I ask something?”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick sighs, head slumping down, as his bolter clatters to the floor. “And that’s that. We killed Dracul. But we didn’t stop him.”
He looks up at the marine. “Yes?”
Mandala Sigyn: “Yeah, we still need to stop Danielle.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “We are wanted fugitives, viewed as heretics by either a high lord of terra or her servants. We have broken the Treaty of Olympus. We are standing in the heart of a corrupted Titan. And an Inquisitor just betrayed us. NOW what?”
Mandala Sigyn: “Now we go save the Imperium, of course.”
Skaldr: “I like this plan.”
“Should someone tell the metal man?”
Kahnak Rith: “…I still cannot believe this group has grown stranger yet, am I am stuck in it once again.”
Jerrick Kamris: “NOW what?” He pauses for a moment, surveying the scene before him, then looks up to the space marine. “I don’t suppose you’d mind if I gave your buddies a call and ask for a ride?”
Por’la Kel’mara : “For better or worse, Rith, I think you are stuck with it, as am I. … If it makes you feel better, consider yourself already back on the payroll. I will… do the paperwork. Along with all the rest…”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Skaldr grins. “A long lost brother, captured by the mechanicum? A chance to get back Dreknung? Something could be arranged. We should still be regarded as heretics, however, outside my brotherhood.”
Skaldr: “You should warn your ships, though.”
Jerrick Kamris: “That doesn’t matter, as long as we live to see our duty done.”
Kahnak Rith: “That was a job too good to last, I suppose.”
Mordecai: jerryyyy
Skaldr: “Very well. Russ’ Valor is in the Terra system; join training exercise with the Imperial Fists for the next 5 years. Call-sign is Hyruvang Myrudr. I shall leave it to you, witch.”
Jerrick Kamris: “Very well.”
i’ll find a quiet spot to make some calls then~
Skaldr: “You may wish to tell them about those on board your vessel. That Jake mortal and Lee.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright, go ahead Jerry.
Mordecai: im gonna still be a heretek augh
Jerrick Kamris: “Yes. We’ll need to see about Jake’s little assignment as well. That could be very useful to us, if it bore fruit.”
Por’la Kel’mara : its ok mordy, we’ll be outcast bro
s
“Jake served Dani pretty directly. I doubt he’s much help at this point.”
Mordecai: Mordy cares about his people tho
Jerrick Kamris: “He can be persuaded.”
Mandala Sigyn: “He’s a coward, he’ll help if properly incentivized.”
Por’la Kel’mara : wow mordy w0w
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick, you can’t contact the Sojourn.
Or at least, they’re not returning your calls.
Jerrick Kamris: well that’s
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You can contact the rest of the ships easily enough.
Jerrick Kamris: well i mean it’d take a while to get a signal to the sojourn
Por’la Kel’mara : the TRUE krootiny
Rogue Trader GM (GM): TRUE
There is a reply from the space wolves.
“Wait.”
Jerrick Kamris: “Wait, they say.” Jerrick sighs. “Well, we should have a look around. I don’t think we’ll have much time to do any shopping before we go. It’s not like any of this stuff is doing anyone else any good, right?”
Por’la Kel’mara : "Will they let us leave with it?
Jerrick Kamris: “How do they know we didn’t arrive with it?”
Por’la Kel’mara : “I just assumed they would know what’s do-… oh. Wait. no, you’re right.”
Jerrick Kamris: time to look around for some fat loot
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The cultists are all wearing xeno-mesh armour. Dracul was wearing some sort of archeotech light power armour- it was light and thin enough to be concealable under his clothes.
One of the Imperial Knights looks functional.
Jerrick Kamris: yoinking the power armor
Rogue Trader GM (GM): If heavily damaged.
Mordecai: I can fix it
Jerrick Kamris: also if he’s got any other cool things
Por’la Kel’mara : mordy loot the titan, we’re going to jericho in STYLE
Jerrick Kamris:

Rogue Trader GM (GM): At close range Mandala recognises the Heraldry as House Darveen, a Knight World that in past times has a contract with House Sigyn.
no, jerrick
except for Dracul’s corpse
Jerrick Kamris: dang
time to grind his bones to make drugs
Mandala Sigyn: “This is from House Darveen. Sigyn had many contracts with them in the past…. hm. Perhaps we can make use of this, still.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Anyone with Pilot Walker can use it.
Mordecai: “I disagree with leaving without clearing our names, it will pose many problems. It is likely not even the Astartes will be able to get us out of here without acquiring the Fabricator-General’s approval. Just so you all know.”
YOINK
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Anyone without can EA it with training from Skaldr
Who appears to know how to pilot and drive anything as long as it involves charging at the enemy
Jerrick Kamris: appropriate
Mordecai: well no
i won’t use it
i’m gonna use my dragon scale gosh dangit
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Anything else people want to do?
Kahnak Rith:

Jerrick Kamris: well someone’s gotta use the knight walker shino
Kahnak Rith: 10 dos
Mandala Sigyn: (not that I can think of, unless there’s something I can do with that knowledge about the Knight House)
Mordecai: why not skaldr
Jerrick Kamris: maybe if we can find any more sweet tech
we can use that as more leverage to get us out of here
Mordecai: search was for any useful or sweet tech
Jerrick Kamris: and get back in their good graces
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You could attempt to return it to them in the future when the entire Imperium does not want to kill you!
Jerrick Kamris: maybe there’s a box full of STCs
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You fail to find the STC mordecai is convinced is around here somewhere.
You do find a lot of dead titans.
Harbinger: you’ve got a LIVING Titan in terms of a bargaining chip
Mordecai: Yeah he’s a bro
Jerrick Kamris: oh i suppose
that could also
be a thing
Rogue Trader GM (GM): As you wait, you hear a sound like air escaping.
Skaldr: “Ah. Here we GO.”
Mordecai: “what”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You disappear.
And re-appear in the teleportatrium of a grey ship.
Por’la Kel’mara : “o_o”
Jerrick Kamris: did they get our titan too
Mordecai: pls
Por’la Kel’mara : and the knight and the drakey and and and
Rogue Trader GM (GM): A group of bearded giants in power armour look at you. Their leader, a bald man covered in runic tattoos, shakes his head. “Well met, brother. Wouldst your companions be chosen better.”
(They did not get the titan
they did get drakey and the knight)
Jerrick Kamris: (aw)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Inquisitor Brunhilde has warned us of your treachery, mortals. May I ask why we should not kill you all where you stand and offer your bodies to the Mechanicum before your wyrd taints us?”
Mordecai: “This would have been much easier with the Fabricator-General…”
Jerrick Kamris: “Inquisitor Brunhilde likely specified Inquisitor Seamus’s treachery. I’ll give you one guess who betrayed US to go bring about the end of the Imperium just before I contacted you.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “…She did, at that,” says the tattooed man. “The Inquisition rules that those who travel with creatures tainted with maleficarum must be killed as well, I believe.” His mouth twitches upwards.
Mandala Sigyn: “She has made it quite clear that she will not be traveling with us. Besides, we have a common interest in stopping her, and you will need all the help you can get.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Skaldr whispers next to Mandala. “I realise you do not travel in our circles much, but telling proud astartes they NEED help rarely works.”
The runed man frowns. “We are the sons of Russ. There is nothing we cannot stop. We are the Emperor’s Sword.”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick sighs, cursing under his breath. “I can’t believe I’m… Seamus, I’ll kill you,” he mutters under his breath, before speaking up. “If you DO kill us, then you won’t know where she’s headed, and you won’t be able to stop her.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “She is no longer travelling with us; however, we know where she is going, and for what reasons. This makes us presently the best chance of stopping her, lest you need to take the time to follow leads and other trails going long cold now. We would therefore request amnesty to deal with the problem… and your hlep, if you would lend it. Skaldr has been proof that .. yes, as you said, there is nothing you can’t stop.”
the xenos makes the (poor) decision to tlak when among space marines. RIP.
Mandala Sigyn: “And yet, Sir Knight, it was not you that felled Dracul, or the Void Dragon, or his servants.”
Skaldr: “She speaks true. It was the kroot.”
Jerrick Kamris: “It’ll certainly be a challenge, whatever she’s got prepared for us. Though if you’re not inclined to join this battle, we do have some contacts with the Ultramarines who I’m sure would be more than willing to assist us…”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Space Wolves all glare at Jerrick.
Runed Man: “We are up to any challenge, witch. We will take your intelligence.”
Jerrick Kamris: “And us.”
Runed Man: “Ha. For mutants, the pair of you have balls! So be it.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Indeed. This is /personal/, astartes. You must understand the importance of honor.”
Runed Man : “Ha. Yes. I understand that.” He nods. “You are not on board this ship. The teleport signal only took back our brother Skaldr. Is that understood?”
Harbinger: and there are definitely no more than 1000 space wolves
Rogue Trader GM (GM): exactly
Por’la Kel’mara : “It is crystal clear.”
Mordecai: “I suppose restoring my own honor will have to wait. So be it.”
Runed Man: “And someone get that beast a cage! It’s defling the floors. Dreadnaughts have to stride through here to reach the battle pods!”
Jerrick Kamris: “We need to contact Jake before we leave the system. And I suppose Lee,” Jerrick mutters. “Lee can stay here for all I care, but if Jake completed his mission we’ll need that. If Seamus didn’t get to him first, anyway.”
Runed: “Oh. The Rogue Trader and the pirate? We have already found them. They are waiting in your rooms. The Astropaths are still trying to achieve contact with the Inquisitor. You have until then to get your story straight, eh?” He slaps Jerrick on the back.
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick sighs, nodding. “Then let’s get moving.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You are all shoved into what looks like a monastic praying cell, ruined slightly by the presence of what looks like a hive world still.
Skaldr is not shoved in with you, but Iron jake, the slave and Lee are all inside. Lee pointedly does not look at you, while Jake just sighs.
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick eyes the group impassively, a slight expression of disappointment on his face. “I take it you weren’t able to find her, then.”
Slave: “F-find who, masters?”
Jerrick Kamris: “Not you,” Jerrick frowns at the slave, then looks to Jake. “Seamus sent you off somewhere, and there’s only one other thing of interest for her here. She’s gone, so you’re a free man now. As soon as you tell us what you found.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Abelia? She’s fine. Part of some psyker project on Terra they started up. Primaris summin’, I’m not a man of words. I don’t know what Danielle would care about a psyker so much.”
Jerrick Kamris: “And? Where is she?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “In the Palace. Where else would she bloody be? They’re going to poke her eyes out or something for the Emperor.”
“I wasn’t in any position to go and bloody get her.”
“Where the Throne is Danielle? God, did she die? Please tell me she died.”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick sighs. “Damn. She’s not dead. She’s just followed in her mentor’s footsteps.”
Jake: “Her mentor? She’s gone and went to Dracul? Bollocks. She hates him.”
Jerrick Kamris: “Yes. And he’s dead now, so she’s finally free to do the exact same thing he was doing.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Indeed, she does. Or did. But she’s decided finishing his plan is for the best.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Bugger. I should’ve stayed in that cell on the Sojourn when she came for me.”
Jerrick Kamris: “You’ll be bunking here for a while, but we can probably convince the marines to make a stop at Terminus Est on our way out. My advice would be to find an agri-world and take up farming or something.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Oh, I know how to disappear.”
Mandala Sigyn: (are we ending soon? It’s getting kind of late)
Jerrick Kamris: He turns to Lee. “As for you, Lord Captain…” He pauses for a moment. “We’re going to need to co-opt your fleet, I think. We might need it. Once this whole business is over, you’ll be free of your obligation to the Barrow Dynasty. But for now, you still work for us. Sorry.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “You’re removing her pledge to the dynasty?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Of course I am, you little- what’s your plan to clear my name?! Your name. Our name. Clear our names!”
(yeah very soon)
Por’la Kel’mara : “I believe it hinges on ‘kill the traitor.’”
Jerrick Kamris: “We’ll work on it. Right now we need to stop whatever it is Seamus plans on doing.”
Lee: “Well, fine. Hard to do that when we’re all heretics-”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): A door opens. A space wolf nods at you. “The Inquisitor wishes to speak to you. Now.”

A daemon engine is fought, and a Titan Graveyard explored

Rogue Trader GM (GM): well 3 people

Rogue Trader GM (GM): why isn’t he HERE HERE
Shino G.: when karma gets here
Tormak: HERE

he’s just not showing up

for some reason
Rogue Trader GM (GM): I
hmm
Mordecai: yeah he JUST said something
Harbinger: but I’m right
here
Mordecai: there it is again
maybe i’m crazy
The visage of the God-Emperor of Mankind stands before you in the little tunnel from the hanger of the Titans. Instead of the famous golden armour, he wearing a robe of ancient cotton over his perfect frame.
Only the flickering of the image betrays its artifice.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): GAME START
Danielle Seamus prostrates herself as is her routine whenever confronted with the image of the Master of Mankind.
Tormak is unsure of how to act before this.
Por’la Kel’mara is too.
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick also prostrates himself, thankful he no longer has eyes to be burned out by the majesty of the Emperor, even if this is only a hologram.
Danielle Seamus: After completing her supplication, Harbinger rises, confident of the image’s status as a… replica, at least.
Mordecai cannot help but kneel before the Omnissiah of the flesh, even knowing its artificial origins.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Should you be a citizen of my Imperium, know this; to step forward would be the gravest of crimes. The sight of-” The image, disappears, to be replaced by a monotone voice. “REDACTED BY ORDER OF FABRICATOR-GENERAL PSO RHODAN, M31.769020.” The image returns, the Emperor looking faintly stern.
Danielle Seamus: “………………………….”
Por’la Kel’mara : “Hmh.”
Jerrick Kamris: “…”
Emperor: “Know this, if ye should be servants of Mars; under the Treaty of Olympus, my Imperium you are under also. Your superiors have already been notified on your transgressions.” The image disappears again. “SITE OF FURTHER HOSTILITIES DURING [REDACTED] SCHISM. ALL MECHANICUM PERSONNEL UNDER ARCH-MAGOS/PRINCEPS-GENERAL RANK MUST REPORT TO THE NEAREST EUTHANASIA CHAMBERS.”
The image flickers out for good, revealing a blank featureless tunnel below the image leading downards.
Jerrick Kamris: “Well,” Jerrick says after a moment, breaking the silence. “That doesn’t sound good.”
Danielle Seamus: “That answers some questions I was not seeking the answer to.”
“And raises far more in kind.”
Mordecai: “If only we had time to hypothesize.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “Heading on in then?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You stepping onto the hole?
*into
Mordecai: “If what were are looking for is anywhere, it is down there.”
Hup.
Por’la Kel’mara : Hup.
Mordecai: Brave Hero Kelmara diving into the unknown with mordy
learning from his barrowventures
Danielle Seamus: “Yes, we must hurry.” Danielle agrees, her feet remaining firmly planted in place.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mordecai, you can feel a faint, magnetic tug at your implants as you throw yourself into the abyss.
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick sighs, looking back at the door, then to Dani. “We’ve already come this far. We may be branded as traitors and heretics for this, but… If we don’t, the Imperium itself may fall.”
Por’la Kel’mara : also all this tech is really cool
i gotta see it ALL
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Kel’mara, you feel the sensation of terminal velocity.
Mordecai: i was ALREADY branded a heretic
Danielle Seamus: “That’s absolutely right, Kamris.”
Mordecai: heretek even
Danielle Seamus jerks her body a bit, but stays in place.
Mordecai: Can I grab Kelly
Por’la Kel’mara reflexively grabs onto Mordy, the stoutest pilla
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Sure.

Mordecai: Gonna get ready to grab anyone else that comes barreling down
Danielle Seamus: Dani just sort of scrunches her face, beads of sweat forming all over.

Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick casually waves a hand, and an unseen force shoves Dani into the pit. He pauses for a moment, smirks, and steps in after.
Danielle Seamus: “Oof!”
Harbinger starts falling, though at least she’s moving herself voluntarily again.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mordecai grabs both of you as fall.
Mordecai: “Careful.”
Danielle Seamus: “I-I-I-I-I disobeyed the Emperor.”
The hole eventually widens out into a cavern bigger than most hive cities. You can see the bottom of the martian installations breaking through the planet’s crust, including the Titan hanger you were just in. Below… is a graveyard of Titans.
Mordecai: lets loot it
Harbinger: Ork Looted Titan incoming
Por’la Kel’mara : “…How do we get these out.”
Jerrick Kamris: “We’re going to be doing a lot more of that before the day is through, I’m sure.”
Mordecai: “Humorous.”
You can see dozens, perhaps a hundred of the glorious avatars of the Omnissiah littering the cavern flaw. Many of the models seem to have far too many spikes for Imperial models, though they have taken a far greater beating. The centrepiece is an Emperor-class Titan, an entire hive support strut impaling it into the earth.
You can see a single dot moving; the rest of this spectacle is as dead as a tomb-world.
Por’la Kel’mara : “H-hey, there’s something moving there!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You’re going to be falling for quite a while, Mordecai. Where do you want to go?
Danielle Seamus: “By the Emper-” Danielle stops herself as she gazes out at the breathtaking scenery.
“There are some lines I promised even I wouldn’t cross…”
Por’la Kel’mara : “It seems a shame that these machines sit here uselessly rather than serving your Imperium. Or any purpose. What a waste.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mordecai, you feel your fall speed up as someone grunts and grabs onto you. “The warriors are dead, xenos. Let them rest.”
Jerrick Kamris: right we still have that guy
Por’la Kel’mara : oh god i’m being choked out by the astartes aaaaa
“Oh, they are people in the machines? I assumed they were like the Battlesuits; they simply climbed out.”
“Mmm.”
Mordecai: Let’s
move toward the moving dot
Por’la Kel’mara declines to comment about Ravithoth just in case it makes an angry Mareen.
Mordecai: “Moving in on what the xenos sighted.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): AS you fall, you ascertain what it is: it’s a moving Titan, a small one. http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/cb20110410112027/warhammer40k/images/a/ac/Warhound_Scout_Titan.jpg
Mordecai: “Not all is dead, it seems.”
how kawaii
Danielle Seamus: “Who would be operating a TITAN down here?”
Jerrick Kamris: “…We may wish to steer clear of it, regardless. We are intruders here, and it’s likely to shoot us on sight.”
Mordecai: “I should think no one should be operating anything down here, but I cannot say anything for certain.”
Danielle Seamus: “Well, maybe it would have a good reason for shooting.”
Mordecai: “Shall we make for the Emperor-class, or touch down and assess the scout?”
Danielle Seamus: “: /”
“We can’t take that thing. Most of this planet is actively hostile to us. Avoid the active Titan if possible.”
Mordecai: Nod and make for the Emprah-class Titan.
it’s the biggest, that means it’s the boss
Rogue Trader GM (GM): On it, or at its feet?
Mordecai: on it, if there’s a place to land
Danielle Seamus: That would be up to Mordecai’s discretion.
Mordecai: we’ve seen moving titans on the GROUND but not on other titans
logic
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You can land on the temple-like steeples on its top. You land with a soft clunk on top of one such temple-structure, around 20m tall. You can see the symbol of the mechanicum on them, only someone’s painted it a far more blood red than they should be.

Danielle Seamus: Harbinger clambers down from Mordecai’s machinator array, unsteadily getting her footing on the titan.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): There are maintenance hatches dotting the structure. Down below, you can see the support strut that impales the creation.
Mordecai: I’ll go try to open a hatch while I think about that.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The hatch shows some considerable sign of rust.
Danielle Seamus: “Battle-Brother Skaldr, you know a lot about… war, right? How do you imagine this epic machine-spirit was felled?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He pauses, staring around. “I have fought little with the Legio Titanicus, but from the way it kneels, I would say the building impaling it laid down the final blow. Something about it smells, though.”
Danielle Seamus: “And what force could cause an Emperor-Class Titan to become impaled to begin with…”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Weakened armour. Its void shields would have to fail. I do not know.”
Harbinger: time to deal with the new boss, A Rusty Hatch

Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick makes the sign of the Aquila, muttering prayers under his breath as well, before entering.
Danielle Seamus: “And this is perhaps, the smell.”

Danielle Seamus gasps sharply and a wisp of smoke betrays her uneasiness, but she continues to scavenge the site.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Kel’mara, you find three weapons and a collection of what looks like 4 Haywire grenads.
Mordecai: i love wepon
Jerrick Kamris: wapons r gr8
Rogue Trader GM (GM): In addition, you find some sort of turbine-powered pack on the back of a rusted metal seat.

Rogue Trader GM (GM): It looks like, if it worked, it could allow the user to jump up very high indeed.
Some sort of jump-pack.
Danielle Seamus: yoink
Mordecai: useless
Por’la Kel’mara : “Here we go. It’s a bit beat up… but they’re working.”
Mordecai: junk
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The weapons… give me a tech-use I guess Mordecai
Danielle Seamus: “This is familiar technology…”

Rogue Trader GM (GM): +10 and -20 >_>
YOU GOT THEM BOTH
Mordecai: hurray
Por’la Kel’mara : imagine needing to roll for tech use tho
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Kel’mara recognises one of the weapons straight away with no roll either.
Mordecai: oh god is it filthy xenos tech
Por’la Kel’mara : yesss
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mordecai, you’re looking at an archeotech plasma rifle.
Danielle Seamus: I can now use my seraphim talents again hooray
Mordecai: YOINK
Por’la Kel’mara : @________@
Mordecai: Venerate this shit.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): There’s no vents you can see; the weapon appears to require no ventilation or recharging.
Kel’mara, Mordecai appears to be very excited over a Pulse Rifle.
Mordecai: AUGH
Por’la Kel’mara : “I wonder how a Pulse Rifle got here…”
“I’m glad you finally recognized how nice thye are though!”
Mordecai: “What do you mean?”
Danielle Seamus: “Hold your tongue, xenos. That is clearly priceless Imperial archeotech.”
Mordecai: “This is a most sacred piece of archeotech, indeed, the finest plasma rifle I have ever laid hands on.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Phased Archeotech Plasma Rifle Basic 150m S/3/4 2d10+3 E 4 36 Half
Por’la Kel’mara : “Well, it does have the Imperium markings, yes, but… the essential workings, look at the construction… Why are you hiding your greatest technology away on this planet?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The other weapons Kel’mara does not recognise.
Mordecai, they’re Catalytic Mass Drivers; one heavy model, one basic.
Mordecai: “Catalytic Mass Drivers. We have some formidable arms now.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The weapons work on the same principle as Tau railguns, but with rapid fire and with much happier machine spirits.
Danielle Seamus: I’ll try testing out the jump pack a little to see if it works.
and if it needs anything like fuel, maintenance, etc
Mordecai: “Astartes, can you make use of this?” I’ll offer that dude the heavy catalytic mass driver.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He swings it over his shoulder with no apparent effort. “Of course, metal man. It weighs little more than a dragon.”
Danielle, the jump pack appears to have a small amount of fuel in it. Prolonged use in inadvisable.
Danielle Seamus: Got it.
Mordecai: I’ll see if any of the bridge equipment is possibly operable.
Danielle Seamus: I’ll take the basic Catalytic Mass Driver because well
I’m not proficient with any of these weapons
Mordecai: might as well
no one else can really do much with it
Danielle Seamus: but more importantly don’t HAVE any other weapons
Mordecai: you have
your fists
Jerrick Kamris: i still have a bolt pistol and a power sword so im good
Danielle Seamus: dangit jerry

Mordecai: you did it
Rogue Trader GM (GM): In addition, its quality is such that you get a +5 to any charge attempts while the pack is active, and may attempt to knock-down the target and anyone else within 1m of the target as a free part of the charge.
Danielle, you find a ladder leading down further into the beast.
Mordecai, you find an active data bank.
Danielle Seamus: neat
Mordecai: neat
Let’s see what kind of data is on this sucker
“Surprising, an operable data bank.”
Por’la Kel’mara : Eagerly look over Mordy’s shoulder.
‘save the world what i found all this cool tech’
Mordecai: “Maybe it will shed some light on this holy titan’s fate.”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick stands off to the side, not having much to do.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The screen is blinking. One word is written out.
INTRUDERS.
Mordecai: “There is a CHANCE that is not referring to us.”
Danielle Seamus: “…uh huh.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): I CAN HEAR YOU.
Danielle Seamus: “!”
Mordecai: You’ll need to speak in quotes
Danielle Seamus: “…that’s probably just a coincidence.”
Mordecai: “I see.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “..What sort of internl defenses would this have?”
Mordecai: “That chance is dimishing.”

The screen winks out.
Mordecai: “…Less impressive defenses than I had thought.”
Jerrick Kamris: “I believe the machine spirit is angry with us.”
Mordecai: “We must be on guard regardless, of course.”
Danielle Seamus: “That’s not a defense! You should know that!!”
“That shouldn’t have even been able to happen!”
Por’la Kel’mara : “Nevertheless…”
Mordecai: “See how that argument goes when you are being electrocuted.”
“Whatever we are dealing with, we must be on guard.”
Jerrick Kamris: “We’ve broken into one of the most holy relics in the entire Imperium. I do not think I’m willing to tell it what it should and should not do.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): I need a -30 willpower roll from everyone. An extra -10 if you have cybernetics of any kind.
Mordecai: ugggh
Danielle Seamus: “You may not remember what tech-heresy looks like, Kamris, but I do. That had Dragonus’s hallmarks all over it.”

(To Jerrick Kamris): You are very certain Dracul lies at the heart of this machine.
Mordecai: “There is doubtlessly an STC of considerable value being guarded.”
“Moreso than OTHER STCs.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “It only makes sense: The center of all things… The heart.”
Skald: “…Is there? Would not your brothers have found it before?”
Danielle Seamus: “And even if there’s not, Dracul should be there.”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick nods in agreement with Dani.
Skald: “He IS?”
Mordecai: “It could have been overlooked, this is a highly guarded area.”
Danielle Seamus: “…they’ve been barred from coming down here as well, you saw that.”
Danielle Seamus nods sagely.
Skald: “Hmph. Perhaps.” He looks at you all oddly.
Danielle Seamus: “Let’s move.”
Mordecai: tO ThE LADDER
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Aright.
Danielle Seamus: We advance down the ladder, beginning to make our way to the Heart of the Titan.
Por’la Kel’mara : h-u-p
Jerrick Kamris: hup
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The ladder leads down to a corridor. One side you’re pretty sure leads outside to where the support strut that impales the titan is, the other deeper into the machine, where the atmosphere of Mars has preserved the galaxy’s oldest oil slick.
Danielle Seamus: DEEPER WE GO.
Mordecai: INTO THE HEART OF THE BEAST
Danielle Seamus: Oh right continue to keep my eyes out for any armor as I’m still wearing a potato sack.

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick, a panel falls open in front of you as the same trick as before is attempted.
Jerrick Kamris: oh
Rogue Trader GM (GM): This time it’s not aimed at you, however- the cable is falling towards the oil puddle you’re all standing in.
Jerrick Kamris: …oh
Danielle Seamus: oh that’s not gonna be good
can we react in time to do anything
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick can!
Danielle Seamus: we’re doomed
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Whoever’s in the back can also dodge out of the way.

The entire titan sways slightly.
Mordecai: oh no it was a load bearing cable
“We must be getting close.”
Danielle Seamus: “A trap laid by Dracul, I’d wager.”
Jerrick Kamris: “…Perhaps,” Jerrick says, frowning at the severed piece of cable.
Skald: “…I am worried. This stinks of maleficarum.”
Danielle Seamus: “‘Perhaps?’ Of course it is, don’t lose your nerve now, psyker.”
ADVANCING
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright.
Jerrick Kamris: hup
Mordecai: poor skaldy
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You reach a pair of double doors as you descend. A simple wheel rests on it. In High Gothic, it says ENGINE ROOM on it. Or it did, as someone has defaced it with ‘SUBJUGATOR CORE’.
Perhaps the name of the STC?
Mordecai: “Subjugator core, so that is the long lost STC hidden here.”
Danielle Seamus: “Can’t lose our nerve now.” Dani backs up against the double doors in a clearing position. “Everyone ready?”
Por’la Kel’mara : “Always. Mostly always.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You back up how?
Mordecai: Level plasma rifle at the door.
Danielle Seamus: Shoulder against the right door’s hinges.
Weapon up, ready to kick it open if it swings away from me.
Or pull it back with my right hand and strafe in if it comes toward me.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Danielle

Danielle Seamus: Or just move if it opens from side to side-
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Take 5 wounds to your body, only stopped by TB
As you are horribly scalded.
Danielle Seamus: joak’s on you I don’t have any armor
also aaaaaugh
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The door appears to be very hot!
Danielle Seamus: “Haaaaaaaaaaaaa! Hothothot!!”
Jerrick Kamris: “…We may be headed into an inferno.”
MrInsecure: (sorry, I’m here)
Mordecai: just in time
Danielle Seamus grips her first-degree burns tightly.
Mandala Sigyn: (I see I missed at lot)
Por’la Kel’mara : “The core’s power is so strong that it heats the doors. Mmm… how to advance.”
Mordecai: “A shame I lack my normal equipment.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Give me a -30 willpower roll Mandala, extra -10 if you have any cybernetic implants.
Mandala Sigyn: Resistance (Psychic) help at all?
Jerrick Kamris: (yes)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Yeah)
(And any other warp based defence)

Mandala Sigyn: “Guys, we need to stop. I sense a warp taint at the core of the titan- I suspect it has been demonically possessed.”
Danielle Seamus: “Dracul’s doing, no doubt. We have to stop him before he gets any further!!”
Mordecai: “So we must reclaim the STC from warp abominations.”
Skald: “…Oh. I see now.”
Mandala Sigyn: “…Has it been instructing you to go down there?”
“Are you listening to demon voices now?”

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick, a VERY STRONG psychic signal is beyond the very hot door!
Mordecai: DRACUL strong?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “They have been possessed, mutant. We may need to kill them. Then burn the bodies.”
Mandala Sigyn: “And none of you have environmental protection- you’ll be incinerated if you go in there.”
Jerrick Kamris: “There is a very powerful psychic presence behind this door.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Sure Jerrick
Sure
Mandala Sigyn: “Possessed? No. Influenced? Perhaps.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick, that should be enough.
Give me a -20 willpower roll to shake it off.
Mandala Sigyn: “Get your terminology correct, Astartes, the distinction is importance.”

Harbinger: that’s not warp stuff that’s explicitly DAEMON stuff
we don’t KNOW this is a daemon
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It’s
possible
it’s a daemon
Jerrick Kamris: well REGARDLESS
Mordecai: but how would they know
unless
they were the daemons
Jerrick Kamris: i passed it
Por’la Kel’mara : i mean isnt dracul a sbad as a daemon at this point? checkmate
Harbinger: emperortheists
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick pauses, frowning, and shakes his head. “I…” He looks to the door. “Why would Dracul be in a burning engine room?” he says quietly.
Danielle Seamus: “You two can prattle on all you want. I’m going in,” Danielle declares.
Mandala Sigyn: “You’ll be incinerated!”
Jerrick Kamris: “He is not here, Seamus.”
Mandala Sigyn: “That’s what it wants, people to sacrifice you to itself!”
Danielle Seamus: “!” Dani’s eyes widen. “You too now, Kamris?”
“His tendrils are everywhere…! I should have known. Should have known coming down here against the Emperor’s wishes was trouble!”
Jerrick Kamris: “Use your brain. Think. What would Dracul even be doing in a defunct Titan? What he seeks is not here.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Yeah, he wants a C’Tan Shard. It wouldn’t even fit in here!”
Por’la Kel’mara : ((brb one sec food))
Danielle Seamus: banking on dani using her brain
Jerrick Kamris: (actually it probably would)
Danielle Seamus: a gutsy move jerry
Mordecai: yeah we saw the shards they aren’t that big
Danielle Seamus: well they’re *big* but this is a TITAN
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Danielle, jerrick’s prodding is giving you a roll at -20 (cybernetics etc)
unless you want
to make a logic rol
to see if jerrick convinces you
Jerrick Kamris: it’s a gamble but either you do shake it off or you go into the burning room and kill yourself, win-win for jerry :D

Por’la Kel’mara : (back)
Danielle Seamus : *bonk*
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Bonk?
Danielle Seamus: “Don’t retrieve one STC by compromising the safety of another. You told me something like that once, didn’t you?”
Por’la Kel’mara : “To ge tthis close to lost technology and *not* try to claim it seems just… just as wasteful as the rest of this planet. Must we be that way?”
Danielle Seamus: I bonked him on the head with my fist
not as an attack
as a bonk
Por’la Kel’mara : rip mordy, attackbonk slew him
Mordecai: it would be more effective if i could feel pain
glorious feels no pain mutation
“…I suppose I do lack the tools necessary for safe retrieval at the moment.”
Danielle Seamus: no one deigns to convince the Tau and just drag him along despite his protests
Mordecai: Sling him over my shoulder
Danielle Seamus: “…let’s head back to the previous juncture.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “Then we should secure it to ensure that it will be okay!” /feeble protests aaaaghhh i’m so weeaakkk
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The structure shakes again.
Mandala Sigyn: “Or we can just incinerate the whole thing with holy prometheum.”
“That would be the preferable solution.”
Danielle Seamus: "I don’t think incineration’s going to do much for whatever’s in *there*. That it hasn’t already done, anyway.
“Not to mention, the backdraft would likely kill us all by the Emperor what was I trying to *do* there?”
Mordecai: “What is that shaking NOW?”
Danielle Seamus: “Wait, the AI. RIGHT! THE AI!”
“Hahahahaha oh now I remember.”
“Classic tech-heresy.”
Mandala Sigyn: “…Didn’t we destroy that thing?”
Mordecai: “AI is tech-heresy of the highest order.”
Danielle Seamus: “New planet, new tech-heresy, new AI. Or something indistinguishable from the last.”
Mordecai: “It is all heresy.”
Danielle Seamus: Let’s try moving to the previous juncture, the one that led out to the impaled spine of the Titan.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): As you leave back up, you can see severed cables forming into letters.
Por’la Kel’mara *siiiiiiiiiiiiigh*
Rogue Trader GM (GM): AI? NO. NOTHING ARTIFICIAL.
The cables undulate into different shapes, spelling HATE over and over.
Mandala Sigyn: “Oh yes, this is some all-natural heresy right here.”
Skaldr: “Sarcasm ill-suits a warrior.”
Danielle Seamus: “It can be both!”
*whoosh*
Mandala Sigyn: “It’s a good thing I’m not a warrior, then,” Mandala says, checking her sunrifle.

Danielle Seamus: “So we just walk back into its trap? Into that blazing inferno that burned me just from touching the door?”
“I don’t if anyone’s noticed, but half of us are wearing potato sacks.”
Mordecai: “Or we leave it.”
“It has likely been placed down here for a reason, else it would have been destroyed, I should think.”
Skaldr: “A most dangerous monument.”
Danielle Seamus: “…no. I’ve already violated the God-Emperor’s edicts by coming down here, I won’t let a daemon engine continue to exist as well in such a precarious situation. What if Dracul somehow leverages it?”
Mandala Sigyn: “Or we can try to overload it remotely. I mean, it’s still hooked up to the rest of the titan, right? That means we could probably set it to self-destruct.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “You’ve have to be a fool to keep it.” He mutters something about ‘or be an Inquisitor’.
Mordecai: “Hm. Mandala’s idea has merit.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): And then starts muttering about silver knights.
Danielle Seamus: “Genetor. Try to see if you can self-destruct that thing from the bridge controls.”
Mordecai: “Though if we could escape the blast radius is another question. I will see what kind of reaction it will be.”

Danielle Seamus: “Well it doesn’t seem like it will fit Fawkes- err, Skaldr anyway. But…”
Skaldr: “The heart of an Emperor-class traitor Titan?”
Danielle Seamus: “A daemon engine is a completely different league from even marines.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I will force it out of this plane of existence. Do not fear.”
“However, I’ll need someone to hold my weapons.”
Jerrick Kamris: “You’d probably be more effective than I would be, at least.”
Danielle Seamus: “I… you’ve got twenty minutes, Sigyn.”
“After that, I’m directing the Genetor to blow the engine.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “… Don’t forget to save the tech you find!”
Mandala Sigyn: (fortunately, I actually bought Resistance (Heat) and (Cold))
“Fair enough.”
Mordecai: “I am ‘rooting’ for you, Novator.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Please. O
*I’ve faced worse odds.”
Danielle Seamus thinks it better to bite her tongue.
Harbinger: owwww now my tongue tastes like teeth
Mandala Sigyn: “What? At least it doesn’t have a blank field like those necrontyr monstrosities.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The bulk and rigid construction of the suit is a hindrance
to movement, imposing a –10 penalty to the wearer’s Agility
for all purposes, and a further –10 penalty on all tests reliant
on fine manipulation using the gauntlets. However, the thick,
heat-resistant layers of the suit means the wearer is immune
to Flame weapons, counts as AP 10 against other Energy
Rogue Trader GM (GM): weapons, and gains a +30 to any tests made to resist adverse
environmental conditions such as extreme heat or cold.
JUST SO YOU KNOW.
Danielle Seamus: “Kamris. Mind Link with Sigyn. Keep us appraised.”

Jerrick Kamris: linkin’ us all up
_{If it can hear us, it might be better to communicate this way.}
Mandala Sigyn moves back towards the core. _{Alright, folks, take cover- the backdraft is gonna be a bitch.}
Danielle Seamus: _{…assuming it can’t hear this as well.}
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You clank back down to the engine room. You can clumsily, but surely, open the core.
There is indeed a backdraft of flame and steam. Give me a toughness test, +40 due to your bonuses.

Any damage you would have taken is absorbed by the plate. Now, the face of your foe is revealed.
Harbinger: I sure hope Mandy is Fearless by now
Mandala Sigyn: am I? let me check
The creature-machine is three stories in height, a purple walker bound in cables and runes still fresh as the millenia they were painted binds its carapace. Two snapping claws work as you approach, and it lazily levels a scorpion-tail weapon towards you, as big as a Russ-mounted lascannon. _{You came back.}
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Fear 3)
(if you’re not fearless!)
Mandala Sigyn: (Hey, I am Fearless)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (whew)
Mordecai: (WHEW)
Mandala Sigyn: “Came back? This is the first time I’ve been in here.”
“Perhaps your memory is addled from years of bondage?”
Daemon: _{House Sigyn has buried its past, then? You are not here to rescue me after all. Then I shall have to break free myself. A pity. You were always good servants.}
(To Danielle Seamus): what doss Danielle think about Mandala
Mandala Sigyn: “My House was slaughtered by the servants of Chaos, wretched creature. I have no desire to entreat with you.”
(From Danielle Seamus): She’s a dangerous mutant with a savior complex.
(From Danielle Seamus): And a heretical xenos-lover.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): _{Betrayal is always paid in full. Even after 10,000 years. Do you know what your Inquisitor thinks of you, little mutant? Dangerous. A saviour complex. A threat to be eliminated one day. You have no allies to fall back on. You could have one in my mistress.}
(From Danielle Seamus): there’s also ‘reliable and stalwart’ but those aren’t necessarily what you were looking for

(To Danielle Seamus): INDEED
(To Jerrick Kamris): what do u think about mandala?
Mandala Sigyn: “Ah, you are a daemon of the Prince of Pleasures. And I have seen the value that Chaos places on its servants- if you’re hoping to entice me by telling me that you’ll be more faithful to me than the Inquisitor, then perhaps you’ve been drinking a bit too much coolant.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): _{We are always loyal to servants who do what is required to them. We do not serve the fate-weaver. And I notice- you did not accuse me of LYING. But if you will not be swayed. so be it. 10,000 years. 10,000 years stuck in this hole. I will ENJOY this.}
(From Jerrick Kamris): “eh” SOMEone’s gotta navigate
Mandala Sigyn: “It matters not if you lie. My faith is a shield against your heresy.”
“Too long you have stayed in darkness- it is time I show you the light.” *WARP TORCH*
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Give me a -20 perception test.
As soon as you think of attacking, you are assaulted by a barrage of sensations, both pleasant and painful.

Mandala Sigyn: (oh wait, I didn’t need to spend Fate, I have Strong Willed)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): _{Well. I hope you can do better than that.}
Are you going to try and move out, or into cover?
Mandala Sigyn: Cover, if possible, since I know it has beam weapons and such
Rogue Trader GM (GM): There’s a small piece of plating that you can crouch behind.
Harbinger: (I don’t think Strong-Willed applies to Perception just Willpower)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Will let it slide this once, but yeah)
Harbinger: (*Strong-Minded)
Mandala Sigyn: (oh right, sorry)
(nah, I spent the Fate, it’s cool)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The creature follows up by firing on full-auto from its tail.

Ten blasts tear apart the area around you.
Jerrick Kamris: tail laser phenomena
Mandala Sigyn: “This is the best Chaos can do? Pathetic!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Each one looking like it hits as hard as a las cannon blast.
Danielle Seamus: “Well she doesn’t sound dead in there yet…”
Mandala Sigyn: _{Sorry guys, in a bit of a rough spot, here.}
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mandala!
Jerrick Kamris: _{Would it be possible to provide long-range support?}
Mandala Sigyn: Can my “heavy flamer” reach?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yes.
Mordecai: _{You have my moral support, at the least.}

Mandala Sigyn: +4 per 10
Por’la Kel’mara : R-I-P
Mandala Sigyn: DAMN IT
Danielle Seamus: _{We may be able to assist in another way, however…}
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The anti-titan weapon does not appear to be phased by your flame.
Danielle Seamus: “Genetor, is there any way you can manipulate the core that doesn’t involve jacking yourself and using the Princeps codes?”
Mandala Sigyn: _{Curses, this thing has too much armor for me to easily pierce. I’m gonna have to wear it down slowly.}
Danielle Seamus: (*jacking yourself in)
(eh that still doesn’t sound not funny)
Jerrick Kamris: (mordecai are you jacking on in there)
Mordecai: Is there any way
Are there any DEFEnsE SYSTEMS in there
Jerrick Kamris: maybe some SPRINKLERS
Rogue Trader GM (GM): No, Mordecai, as far as you know only the princeps is granted that access as a fail safe measure. If the daemon engine had its full attention, you’d be attacked as soon as you jakced in.
Danielle Seamus: hey but it DOESN’T
Skaldr: _{Mutant, does that creature have claws?}
Mandala Sigyn: _{Yes, how did you know?}
_{Well, they’re more like pincers, but anyway.}
Rogue Trader GM (GM): _{I have seen such a creature before. You are foolhardy. Back up as much as you can, they can tear through baneblade armour!}
It does not, Danielle.
Mordecai: _{Keep its attention if you can.}
_{For my sake.}
I’m jackin in
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You are pretty sure you will still have to be in contact with the crreature, mordecai.
Mandala’s antics have only limited your exposure.
Not eliminated them.
Mordecai: well i have armor of contempt so
yolo
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright.
You jack in to see a giant purple flame with a thousand phantom limbs.
Do YOU have fearless?
Mordecai: hahaha oh my no
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Oh wait Barrow’s in the room technically
Mordecai: fear(3)?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): carry on
Mordecai: yesss
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You can see a sword of red hanging above the flame. It’s held up by a small tendril.
Danielle Seamus: carry on my captain aura of courage
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The tendril stinks of corruption.
Captain N. Barrow: “Do a good job and maybe I’ll give you an apple when you finish making more.” captain’s +10 for mordey
Mandala Sigyn: _{I’m behind cover, and I have no desire to back down anyway. This thing says it had a previous relationship with my House- if so, it needs to be wiped out, to expunge the taint on my lineage.}
Mordecai: What kinda system things can I try to muss with in the engine room
anything besides ‘self destruct’?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): There appears to be a ventilation process.
It would allow someone other than Mandala into the room, as long as it isn’t you,.
Danielle Seamus: “I’ll play Rock, Paper, Scissors with ya for it, Kamris- wait you’re literally psychic.”
“You go anyway.”
Mordecai: _{Initiating venting. Backup is on its way, Mandy.}
Jerrick Kamris: “If you fear it that much…” Jerrick shrugs.
Mandala Sigyn: _{Thanks, I can hold out here. Just be careful, this thing’s got a punch to it.}
Danielle Seamus: “I have two fists and a gun I don’t know how to use,” Danielle pouts.
Mordecai: _{I must concur with the Inquisitor.}
Mandala Sigyn: _{Anything is better than nothing!}
Mordecai: _{If only one can go, you ‘pack the most punch’, so to say.}
Jerrick Kamris: (i think cats was implying that anyone could go in, just not mordy)
Mordecai: that would make SENSE
Jerrick Kamris: anyway im ready to head in once the vents turn on
Mordecai: Kelly I’m take this archeotech plasma rifle

Mordecai: he’s got a heavy weapon he better get in there

I can try to do an exorcism
no point worrying about that though

Mordecai: (i figured)

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mandala, you detect something faint from the support strut impaling the Emperor Titan’s body.
Mandala Sigyn: “I sense something coming from the support strut that’s impaling the Emperor Titan.”
“It’s faint, though.”
Jerrick Kamris: “Hmm.”
Mandala Sigyn: “We’ll want to see if we can acquire some more weapons and armor, first,” Mandala says, slipping out of the massive armor and retrieving her personal gellar field.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): They actually found some weapons!
Mordecai: ya some haywire grenades and an archeotech plasma rifle and some catalytic mass drivers
and we got this sweet heat armor
nothing from the anti-tank thing is salvageable eh
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Augmetic Engine-Plate All 7 20 Rare
Mordecai: stupid melta
Por’la Kel’mara : rip
Mordecai: yeah i’ll wear that i guess
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mordecai steals Mandala’s preciousn ew armour
Mordecai: “So, the spine or the scout.”
she just took it OFF
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Steal
Jerrick Kamris: hey i’m the one who found it
Rogue Trader GM (GM): it
Jerrick Kamris: (i dont want it tho)
Mordecai: you better not want it
Por’la Kel’mara : xd
Jerrick Kamris: “If it’s only a faint signature, it may not be an immediate concern. We should try to communicate with the scout, it would know more of this place than we do, and then we can go from there.”
Mordecai: “I agree.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The exit leading to the support strut leads outside as well.
Mordecai: Let’s head THAT WAY.
Mandala Sigyn: alright, let’s go
Mordecai: Also put away my weapons
_{Try to look nonthreatening.}
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Their our maintenance ladders leading down the 20 stories of the giant traitor Titan. True to Mordecai’s words, the scout Titan is waiting.
Por’la Kel’mara : Definitely non threatening.
Harbinger: “Now, why is this down here…? Only Magos Prime and above are supposed to have access, right?”
Mandala Sigyn: “Is that one corrupted, too?”
Mordecai: “One way to find out.”
Mandala Sigyn sighs. “I guess we’re going down, then?”
Mordecai: I’ll lead the way in my spiffy new armor.
Jerrick Kamris: “It hasn’t started shooting us yet. That’s probably a good sign.”
Mordecai: “It saw us AND did not shoot at us, fortuitous indeed.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It takes a very long time to reach the bottom, but the titan continues to not shoot at you. The little scout kneels down as you approach, a hatch opening on its side.
Little relative to the giant Emperor-class, of course; a scout-class Titan is still the size of a small building.
Mordecai: it is comparatively kawaii
Mandala Sigyn: desu~
“I… suppose we should climb,”
Danielle Seamus: Into the hatch.
Mordecai: INTO THE ABYSS
“Well, if they wanted to harm us, it would be very illogical to go about it in this manner.”
Hup.
To the hatch.
Por’la Kel’mara : Hup. “I was waiting for someone else to come out, really…”
Danielle Seamus: and a daemon would *never* go about something illogicall- uh oh wait
Mandala Sigyn: hup
Mordecai: the joke was more about the MECHANICUS being illogical but
it works on a lot of levels
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You enter a bridge, cramped enough that you have to lower your heads to enter save the shortest among you.
…So Danielle and Kel are okay.
Por’la Kel’mara :

Por’la Kel’mara : -:|
Mordecai: orks101.gif
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The bridge is active, but covered in dust.
Mordecai: “…I suppose it was accurate to think no one was here.”
“But if it is automated, then it should have shot us as intruders.”
Approach the data banks.
Time to find more tech-heresy.

Mandala Sigyn: “If there’s an AI, yes.”
Mordecai: “Possibly, but it would be tech-heresy of the highest order.”
“Not that it means much for ME anymore.”
Jerrick Kamris: “Perhaps it’s similar to a servitor. …A large servitor.”
Mordecai: “Time spent hypothesizing would be better spent studying. I see how it is operating, while I look for recent sensor data.”
I will see*
Mandala Sigyn: “One day, we’ll tell you about the Damocles stations. By comparison, you’re groovy.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): one sec
Mordecai: kk
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mordecai, you access a terminal with its logs.
…It is 10,000 years of automated sentry logs.
Mordecai: Let’s
skip ahead
a bit
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It takes considerable minutes to scroll even in decades.
Mordecai: or speedily go through it all and remember it via total recall
Por’la Kel’mara : ^
Danielle Seamus: 10,000 years of logs would take a LONG time to go through
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mordecai, it appears the titan’s function was to guard something called the Dragon’s Cage on orders of ‘The Master of Mankind’.
Hence in decades!
that’s still
Danielle Seamus: and with that much information Total Recall has a caveat about the GM screwin ya over
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 1000
but still
Mordecai: dang
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yeah you can’t really remember exact details
Mordecai: Oh well
Rogue Trader GM (GM): just the things copied over each report
Mordecai: See if I can find data on where the Dragon’s Cage is
“I am fairly sure I have found where the shard is.”
“If not then fate is playing a cruel joke.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Where?”
Mordecai: “Somewhere called the ’Dragon’s Cage’.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It says ‘Support Strut RIHB-PSI-11. It also says reading its logs are heresy.
Mordecai: "This relatively little Titan was placed here to guard it by ’The Master of Mankind’."
Mandala Sigyn: “The Emperor himself?”
Mordecai: “I can think of few other interpretations.”
“It is also calling me a heretic. It is not technically wrong.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Well, yes, more than a few egomaniacs have given themselves similar titles.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Each log also lists replacement personnel required for the Titan, urgently. It lists every single crew member.
Mordecai: “It has been waiting for replacement personnel, it seems.”
“‘Support Strut RIHB-PSI-11’ is the location we are looking for.”
Jerrick Kamris: “…I wonder if that’s what the navigator sensed.”
Mordecai: “Most likely.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Interesting. C’Tan shards don’t have a warp- oh, it’s Dracul.”
Harbinger: (just to set the record straight C’tan very much DO have a warp presence so you need to cut that out)
Por’la Kel’mara : “Find one, find the other, I think.”
Harbinger: (they’re not Necrons)
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick looks around the bridge, thoughtful. “Do you think this thing has enough power to destroy a C’Tan shard?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (whether or not the C’Tan have a warp presence I thought was never confirmed)
(They certainly HATE the warp)
Harbinger: (that’s true but I mean, they can’t be warp nulls or like)
Mordecai: “It is a scouting model, but it was put here to guard, so it likely has some formidable armament.”
Harbinger: (nothing I used would have WORKED)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (And warp weapons potentially hurt them more than- yeah, they’re not blanks)
Harbinger: (that’s all that a blank is, a null warp entity)
Mordecai: “It would be in our best interest to have it bring us to the exact location in any case, I will see if it will allow that.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “Can we man it ourselves?”
Harbinger: (they’d be perhaps more similar to TAU)
Mordecai: I’m gonna check
the crew listing
DO WE HAVE ENOUGh PERSONNEL
Mordy, Mandy, Kelly, Dani, Barry
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (some of them used to be straight up blanks)
Por’la Kel’mara : i mean it wa srunning autonomously let’ sjust hijack the AI
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (But that was pre-newcrons)
(who even knows now)
Harbinger: (idk much about oldcron lore so you’d have me there)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mordecai, without your prompting it brings up name entry for new personnel
Harbinger: (if you wanna overrule me and say that it’s wrong by all means! I was just assuming standard canon)
(I am plenty acquainted with being wrong)
Mordecai: “…Well then. Inputting personnel data.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (I’m going to go with ‘undetectable warp signature’ and leave it a mystery)
Jerrick Kamris: (at the very least probably not detectable with psyniscience)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (indeed)
Mandala Sigyn: (all I know is I’ve never been able to detect them)
Danielle Seamus: “Are we really going to do… this?”
“I mean we’re already on the Fabricator-General’s bad side but… this is like a whole nother level, isn’t it?”
Mandala Sigyn: “Perhaps, but what other choice do we have?”
Jerrick Kamris: “We’re likely to be executed on sight once we leave this place. I doubt we could do more harm to our reputation than we already have.”
Mandala Sigyn: “If we bring back the head of Dracul, we’ll at least have something to bargain with.”
Mordecai: “It can get no worse for me, at least. And it will likely no matter whose side we are on if Dracul gets his way.”
not matter*
Danielle Seamus: “There are always more unimaginable and sundry methods of how punishments for heresy can get worse.”
Danielle Seamus shrugs. “It’s an art form, really.”
Mordecai: “We could use false identities?”
Skaldr: “Did you hear about the Rogue Trader who declared himself a new god?” He starts to laugh. “They killed everyone in the Imperium who shared his first name.”
Mordecai: “…Hm, a strange idea. I think I have been around the xenos too long.”
Skaldr: “Good times. Good times.”
Danielle Seamus: “Yeah stuff like that.”
Mandala Sigyn: “What about the last name? You know, Dynasties and all that.”
Danielle Seamus: “That level of excoriation is typically classified.”
Jerrick Kamris: “Something, perhaps, to dwell on once we’re on our way out. We’re wasting time now.”

Danielle Seamus: “: |”
Skaldr: “I do not know. They erased his last name from the oral histories.”
Jerrick Kamris: “You have shown remarkably little regard for them thus far.”
Danielle Seamus: Barrow can tell Skaldr jokes and inspire
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The machine accepts the entries.
You are granted control.
Mordecai: we finally did it
we got a titan

Danielle Seamus: “What I may show and what I feel are not always in synchronization.”
“But that is neither here nor there.”

Por’la Kel’mara familiarizes himself with the weapon stations
Mordecai: TO THE METAL
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Titan moves forward with a shuddering step.
Mordecai, the MIU interface drops above your head.
So do some very decayed princeps-interface mechanisms.
Danielle Seamus: do you dare jack in
Mandala Sigyn: “Be careful, Mordecai,” Mandala says, manning the sensor array. “We don’t know what’ll happen when you interface with that thing.”
Mordecai: “What is the worst that could happen?”

Mordecai: “Get us there as quick as possible without interfacing, Inquisitor.”

(From Danielle Seamus): THIRD WORST:
(From Danielle Seamus): There is also a perverse effect to the mind-link: it is highly addictive to the human mind. From the moment he manages to dominate his Titan’s Machine Spirit, the Princeps will actively crave being linked to his war engine, for the feeling of becoming a godlike machine of destruction is impossibly intense, and living as a mere human eventually becomes intolerable for some Princeps.
(To Danielle Seamus): yesss
Danielle Seamus: “Engaging engines… err, legs.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Titan steps forward three steps, then stops.
A screen flickers on showing the support strut impaled into the Emperor Titan.
Mordecai: “We have arrived.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Its weapon safeties flip open in front of Mandala.
Mandala Sigyn: “Shall we open fire?”
Danielle Seamus: “Does it want us to destroy the support strut?”
“…does it WANT things?”
Mandala Sigyn: “I think it very well may.”
Mordecai: “Maybe our destination is inside.”
Danielle Seamus: “I’m willing to play along for now, but be prepared to interface if necessary, Genetor.”
“Sigyn, release the weapon safeties; Seneschal, open fire on the support strut.”
Mordecai: “I will be as prepared as one can be.”
Mandala Sigyn flips the safeties off, and watches the strut intently.

Danielle Seamus: “If you have reservations about that, Kamris, the Genetor could always ask the machine spirit itself.”
Jerrick Kamris: “I’m just concerned that we may end up having a city fall on us.”
Mordecai: “That is not an unsubstantiated concern.”
Danielle Seamus glances back at Mordecai and then to the interface. “Well in that case…”

Skaldr: “DO NOT BOTHER ME, I SHALL BE IN THE MIDDLE OF CALBRATIONS.”
Mandala Sigyn: (okay Garrus sheesh)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Kel’mara, as you go to fire a THIRD time
Your target breaks in half.
Mordecai: the ol’ delayed shot well done kelly
Por’la Kel’mara stops readying a third volley and looks up .".. Ahh! See? There we go!
Danielle Seamus: “Oh, there it goes. Now to see if it was the right-”
Mandala Sigyn: “…I wouldn’t be too sure, guys.”
Something hatches out of it, a flying monstrosity bigger than the war-walker you currently pilot. A beautiful serpent of white, gold and black flies in the air above you, illuminating the darkness of the cavern.
Mordecai: oh emprah it’s the dragon
Jerrick Kamris: “That… Is unexpected.”
Mordecai: Time to interface for maximum combat performance.
Por’la Kel’mara : “No Dracul to monolgue insanity at us, though..?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Whoever’s at the augurs, it’s going haywire.
Mandala Sigyn: “Uh oh. I… think he succeeded, guys.”
Danielle Seamus just widens her eyes, the glittering serpentine form dancing across her reflective irises.
Mandala Sigyn: “These readings are insane.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Mag’ladroth detected. Mag’ladroth detected. Mag’ladroth detected. Death imminent. Summon the Master of Mankind. Summon the Master of Mankind.”
Mordecai: “How, we got here far ahead of his schedule!”
Por’la Kel’mara : “.. I apologize as fervently as I can for missing.”
Danielle Seamus: “It’s not over yet! Dracul hasn’t yet subverted that shard.”
Por’la Kel’mara : (alpha: summon a team of teenagers with attitude.")
Jerrick Kamris: “Do not miss a third time, Xenos.”
Mordecai: “Just do not miss it NOW.”
Danielle Seamus: “Look how… BIG it is.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Apparently not, somehow.”
Mordecai: “Also hope that this thing does have enough armaments.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “If only we were fighting it from inside the Emperor-class.”
Dracul: _{Well, well, well, Dani. Ain’t this a fine how do you do, as my dear old mum used to say.} A familiar voice creeps into your heads.
Mordecai: _{…There goes that silver lining."

Rogue Trader GM (GM): ~I was just thinking to meself: how do I distract a living god for long enough to do what I got to do? Then someone comes along with a scout titan.}
Mandala Sigyn: “Well, Dracul, you’ve finally gone and fucked it up all the way. You’ve summoned a C’Tan within three astral units of Terra. I hope you’re proud of yourself.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): _{Yeah! Thanks for asking, Mandy!}
Danielle Seamus: “Oh, I see what his game is.”
Jerrick Kamris: “I think this is what he wants.”
Danielle Seamus looks over at the rest of the team. “He wants us to keep the Void Dragon occupied while he establishes control.”
Jerrick Kamris: “I will attempt to locate him.”
“He will not succeed this time,” Jerrick growls.
Por’la Kel’mara : “Under control or wild, either way.. we will be ‘occupying’ the Dragon, won’t we? We can’t let it go.”
Jerrick Kamris:

Mordecai: “I do not think ignoring the dragon will work, sadly. We all do not need to be the ones to fight it though.”
Jerrick Kamris: dicebot pls
Por’la Kel’mara : srsly dicebot
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You detect something still on the Emperor Titan.
Danielle Seamus: “We either destroy it before Dracul establishes control, or we find Dracul before then.”
Jerrick Kamris: “He’s inside the titan. He was right under our noses,” Jerrick growls.
Danielle Seamus: “I WAS RIGHT”
“ISH”
Skaldr: “Stranger things have happened in this crazy midgard.”
Mordecai: “I propose sending a group after Dracul while a minimal number of personnel remain here to occupy the dragon.”
Danielle Seamus: “If you interface with it completely, Genetor, can you get control of all of its systems?”
Mordecai: “It should be possible. I was going to suggest such.”
Danielle Seamus: “Try it. If you can pull it off, the rest of us will eliminate Dracul while you fight the Dragon.”
MrInsecure: “Good luck, Genetor. We’ll need it.”
Mordecai: “Understood. I do not know if this will be able to defeat it, but it can keep it occupied for at least some time.”
Mandala Sigyn: *sorry that’s suppoed to be Mandala
Danielle Seamus: “That leaves only transportation as our biggest obstacle…”
“Mandala! Can you detect any ground vehicles in the immediate area!!”
Jerrick Kamris: “I believe I can take us to him.”
Danielle Seamus: “Don’t you usually like to save that for *escapes*?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Gimme a scrutiny +20, Mandala.
Jerrick Kamris: “I don’t think an escape will matter if we cannot stop him.”
Danielle Seamus: “Not that I’m complaining!”

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mandala, there’s a tank on the ground that in later millenia is called a Leman Russ. Built for reliability, 10,000 years might be stretching it, but perhaps…?
Danielle Seamus: okay guys do we use the portal
or the tank
Jerrick Kamris: god
the portal is faster but
how often do we get to ride around on mars in a leman russ tank
Mandala Sigyn: “I see a fairly large tank at the base of the titan.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “THE TANK! IT IS NAMED AFTER THE HOLY FATHER!”
Danielle Seamus: I knew this drive skill would finally see use
Mandala Sigyn: “I think we got our answer.”
Mordecai: everyone’s drive is useful!
Danielle Seamus: “…Kamris, how big can you make your portal?”
Getting down at the tank.
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick ponders. “…I believe I can fit a tank, if that’s what you wish.”
(is a leman russ bigger than 9m wide)
Por’la Kel’mara : (Maybe >_>)
Danielle Seamus: that’s 30 feet
Jerrick Kamris: yeah i’m thinking i can fit it pretty easy
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Length: 7.08 metres Armour:
Width: 4.86 metres
Jerrick Kamris: i can even do it fettered
…though that’d be a tight squeeze
Por’la Kel’mara : nailed it.
Jerrick Kamris: maybe there’ll finally be a use
for this useless invocation skill
Danielle Seamus: “Let’s drop your daddy on this bitch, Skaldr.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Oh boy.”

Jerrick, it looks like he’s in one of the lower decks.
Por’la Kel’mara : “… and it’s all locked away beneath in this veritable junkyar dof treasures!” he bemoans again.

MysteryGuy: im here
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Is Mandala invisible again
Jerrick Kamris: and here
Tormak: hi
Por’la Kel’mara : me and jerry we got this
me and mandy and jerry
we got this
Mordecai: and their friend mordy
Mandala Sigyn: sounds like fun
Space is vast. It would be impossible to cover it all, but that has not stopped 40,000 years of humanity from trying. On your orkified radars you detect pilgrim ships, orbital platforms, fortresses placed at stable positions named after the ancient Terran heathen god Lagrange, and saturn’s moons, all turned into deadly military installations. And of course, the countless armada of Battlefleet Sol and their Imperial Fist back-up moving to blow you out of the sky. The holy wroth of the Imperium of Man has been arrayed against your tiny ship, and their weapons are powering up…
Rogue Trader GM (GM):
GAME
START
Mandala Sigyn: “Inquisitor, now would be a good time to show off that rosary!”
(is anyone else here?)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (yeah)
Anyone else doing anything?
Por’la Kel’mara : Not being on camera, that woul dbe bad
Mandala Sigyn: If dani isn’t responding, I will
Por’la Kel’mara : karma was afk for coffee
Mandala Sigyn: then I’ll just go ahead
“This is Mandala Sigyn, Navigator for the Barrow Dynasty. I have an Inquisitor on board, escaping from eldar pirates. Do not fire! I repeat, do not fire!”
Harbinger: Does this ork hunk of junk have a vid-caster?
Danielle Seamus: Or is this just audio-only?
Jerrick Kamris: im a radio not public relations
sad days
Rogue Trader GM (GM): audio-only
From what Mordecai can tell one of the buttons only exists to play a pre-recorded message of an Ork going “LOOTIN’”
Danielle Seamus: “A Rosette doesn’t have much of an audio component,” Danielle ruminates crossly.
She looks over warily to Mordecai and Jerrick. “I know no one wants to hear this, but I want to try something.”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick just sighs.
Officer: “YOUR LIES ONLY COMPOUND YOUR CRIMES, HERETIC. YOUR FAMILIES SHALL BE HUNTED DOWN AND TORTURED FOR YOUR AFFRONT OF INVADING THE HOME OF THE IMPERIUM! AVE IMPERATOR!”
Mandala Sigyn: “Don’t you have a code or something you can use, Dani?”
Danielle Seamus: “Hahaha oh yeah, I have Dracul’s.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Wouldn’t that get us killed faster?”
Danielle Seamus: “Do you want to get blown out of space sooner than later?”
“Ah, you get my meaning.”
“Genetor. Give your Mechanicus identification protocols to Kamris.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Alright, I’ll see if I can get recognized as a Navigator. The Nobilite is still respected here, I think.”
Mordecai: “Understood.” Tell Jerry all that junk.
Danielle Seamus: “Kamris. Call Mars.”
“Tell them we have a live STC. Give them the serial number.”
Jerrick Kamris: “Very well.”
Danielle Seamus: “…let’s see how fast your bosses are, Mordy.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “I hope very fast indeed.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): There’s a hacked laugh from the wounded astartes in the background. “Killed… by an Imperial Fists fleet… never going to live this down in Valhalla…”
Mandala Sigyn: “Or that could work.”
Mordecai: “I enjoy your optimism, Kel’mara.”
Danielle Seamus: “You’re still here, wow.”
Jake: “WE’REALLGOINGTODIEWEREALLGOINGTODIEWEREALLGOINGTODIE.”
Mandala Sigyn: “…The astartes is still alive?”
Danielle Seamus: “Wonders never cease.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Barrow’s new haridresser has already fained.
*fainted
Mordecai: “Even they should act fast if an STC is involved though.”
Jerrick Kamris:

Rogue Trader GM (GM): The ships batteries start firing a salvo of macrocannon shells, detonating closer and closer…
Danielle Seamus: “Lady Sun Lee, I just wanted to say that it’s been a- WHY IS IT DARK”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Until the weapons stop.
Mandala Sigyn: “This is Mandala Sigyn of House Sigyn. The Crown Upon the Throne Shines Forever.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “See? We’re FINE.” The reply is squeaked out from a woefully inadequate hiding place.
Mandala Sigyn: “…Looks like we’re getting out of this alive.”
Mordecai: “Astounding.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): When the officer’s voice comes back on the vox, he sounds more subdued and disappointed. “Mars wishes to interrogate you, heretics. They also wish you to know that if what you claimed to them is false, the crime is the Exterminatus of your home world. Repent now, so your sins may be cleansed…! Or something.”
Danielle Seamus: “Joke’s on them…!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “…The ship’s navigator also informs me Sigyn is a dead house. Get better lies!”
Danielle Seamus looks sad.
Mandala Sigyn: “Except for two members, sir. Except for two.”
Danielle Seamus: “So are you dissing Veda or Yantra there?”
Lee: “No offence, but considering what just happened? I would not place a bet on its continuation.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “I’m not sure.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Veda, based on her mutations, is not of my bloodline.”
“But that is a matter for another time.”
“Also, she’s not officially alive.”
Mordecai: “What we say is the truth, therefore we should be fine.”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick chuckles at Mordecai’s joke.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The ships demand that you follow them. It is not phrased as a request.
Danielle Seamus: Engaging engines.
Mordecai: Finally someone appreciates Mordy.
I can’t wait to loot mars.
Danielle Seamus: “THE STEERING WHEEL IS ATTACHED TO THE SHIP BY A BLOCK OF WOOD.”
“: /”
Jake: “Isn’t it a beaut, Inquisitor?”
Mandala Sigyn: “Orks are not known for their high standards of maintainence.”
Danielle Seamus: “WHY AM I ABLE TO TURN”
Mandala Sigyn: “Shh, Danielle, don’t question the orktech. That makes it finicky.”
Astartes: “Tis heresy to wonder about xenos technology.”
Danielle Seamus: “I’ll show YOU heresy”
Danielle Seamus points to Kel’mara.
Por’la Kel’mara : “;~;”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): ONE SEC DOOR
Mandala Sigyn: “He’s been branded, he’s fine.”
Jerrick Kamris: who could be knocking on our ship all the way out here
It takes half a Terran day to reach the current orbit of the Machine Planet. From the ork’s scanners (read: window), you can see the red hive cities that give the planet it’s name, as well as the space elevators funneling equipment to satellites placed at the edge of the world’s orbits. Your ship is directed to one of them.
Danielle Seamus: “What dizzying array of archeotech be this…?”
“Hey isn’t this the best moment of your life or something silly, Genetor?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jake is praying in the background, while Sun Lee is looking at her nails.
Mordecai: “It is, yes.”
Danielle Seamus: I’ll also in the trip there ask Jerrick if he could send a message to Terminus Est to Sun Lee’s fleet.
And have them come to Mars.
Mandala Sigyn: “Holy Mars… and now we need to stop it from being destroyed.”
Danielle Seamus: also to OUR FLEET ON PENANCE hahaha knew I was forgetting something

Por’la Kel’mara : I KNOW EVERYTHING
Mordecai: emprah
Harbinger: (“it turns out we’re already dead”)
Mordecai: (the joak was on me the whole time for not being a glorious void resistant machine)
(To Tormak): Kel, some of this technology is more advanced than the Tau Empire’s. How the humans have such advanced technology with their shoddy usual equipment is unknown, but you could do a great boon for the Greater Good if you can steal it.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): In addition, and less secretly, Kel, both you and Mordecai can make out the fact that every innocuous looking vessel in orbit around the Red Planet has their guns aimed at you.
(From Por’la Kel’mara ): “Borrow”
Por’la Kel’mara : "Oh, yes, I know a phrase for this too: ‘Out of the frying pan, and into the fire.’ "
Mordecai: “A perfectly normal response.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Your ship docks, and the ork arilocks slide open. Without you pressing anything.
Danielle Seamus: “I HATE THIS SHIP” Exit hurriedly.
Por’la Kel’mara : hup
Jerrick Kamris: “We should leave the xenos to watch over our, ah, pet,” Jerrick looks to Rith and then the drake.
Mordecai: “At least it waiting until now.” Hup.
Jerrick Kamris: hup
Por’la Kel’mara : stop hupping.
“… oh, riht.”
*right
Kahnak Rith: “That is up to the Inquisitor.”
Por’la Kel’mara : *and not ‘rith’
Danielle Seamus: “…that is if they don’t decide to obliterate the ship as soon as we are off it.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Danielle immediately runs into an array of lights shinging over her body, before a voice in binary intones something, before opening another door to a large chamber with a black-glass curved wall on the opposite side. Several Mechanicum guards that Mordecai knows as Skiitarii are standing at attention, each one wtihout eyes yet their weapons track you as you all enter.
Danielle Seamus: “OH BLOODY ’ELL-”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Rith
Kel
what are you doing
Kahnak Rith: Riding Drakey out.
Giddy up.
Por’la Kel’mara : well if Rith i bein’ brave I’ll follw. Behind. Rith. In cover. Behind.
Kahnak Rith: Drakey should be good cover
Danielle Seamus: “Mordecai, you can authorize genetor specimens, right? That’s probably a thing or something?”
Mordecai: “Yes, I will have our ‘pet’ brought in as an important subject of study.”
Mordecai will then dole out whatever identification codes he has to the guards.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The guards do not respond but neither do they fire.
All that happens is the black wall shimmers away to reveal the image of the most modified living creature you have ever seen, no sign of flesh on its face. “THE STC.”
Harbinger: that may not be worth a fear rating in-game but it’s worth one to me irl
aaaaaaaa
Danielle Seamus will use her lightning speed to snap it out of Mordecai’s hand before he can acquiesce.
Mordecai: “…I was not going to give it to them without some exchange, Inquisitor.”
“I have no leaned nothing from you all.”
not*
Danielle Seamus: “GOOD TO KNOW”
Danielle Seamus smiles at the genetor.
Danielle Seamus: “But I’d rather not put your rep on the hook for it when we can do that LATER.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “MOVE IT CLOSER. SCANNING SPIRITS CANNOT REACH IT.”
Mordecai: “…I will let you step forward then.”
Danielle Seamus: “Ah, ah, ah, my logically minded Mechanicus peer. There are protocols to consider aren’t there?”
“…Sigyn, Seneschal, I need your knowledge of protocols.”

Rogue Trader GM (GM): There a lot of very meaningful rituals with the transferrance of an STC back to humanity, most of which involve the ritual sacrifice of workers who did not meet their monthly production quota.
Danielle Seamus: “We are emissaries of the illustrious Barrow Dynasty.” Point behind to the Thunder Armor clad Barrow. “Judging from our appearance, you should be able to confirm that from this distance beyond any margin of error that we are the Dynasty retinue.”
“Meaning that we have certain… arrangements with your organization, no?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “…YES. YOUR IDENTITY IS CONFIRMED. YOU HAVE NO POWER UNDER THE TREATY OF OLYMPUS, INQUISITOR, EVEN IF THERE WAS NO WARRANT FOR YOUR ASSASSINATION.”
Danielle Seamus: “Someone please tell me what that is.”

Por’la Kel’mara : “Ohhh, THAT… oh.”
Mordecai: “The Lord Captain did find an apple.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Treaty of Olympus is the treaty between the Fabricator-General of Mars and the Emperor of Mankind that unified Terra and Mars in the early days of the Imperium.
Danielle Seamus: “Uhhhhhhhh”
(is Mandala afk?)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Basiclaly, it says the forces of the Imperium will not infringe on the territory of the Martians.
In other other words, INQUISITORS GO HOME.
Mordecai: hm, that DOES seem to be exactly what we’re doing
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “…WHERE IS THE ‘APPLE’?”
Danielle Seamus: “MORDECAI YOU ALSO LEARNED OUR PENCHANT FOR GIVING OUT TOO MUCH INFORMATION”
Danielle Seamus : *fistshake*
Mordecai: “It is under my care for further study and reproduction.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “SHOULD YOU PROVIDE IT, THE MECHANICUM WIILL AGREE THAT FURTHER DISCUSSION OF YOUR CONTINUED EXISTENCE IS ADVISABLE.”
Mordecai: “I apologize if I am overstepping my bounds, Inquisitor, but is it not true we should be doing this with as much haste as possible?”
Danielle Seamus: “…perhaps, Mordecai, perhaps.”
“Now hold on a tick, honored representative. I don’t mean to microagress against the Treaty of Olympia or what have you, but the Warrant calls for the delivery of 500,000,000 apples; not one.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “…SEVERAL DEMANDS FROM THE NAVIS NOBILITAE HAVE ARRIVED THAT YOU SHOULD ALL BE EXECUTED.”
“THAT IS TRUE.”
Mandala Sigyn: (sorry about that)
Danielle Seamus: “Which should be logically irrelevant, of course. The treaty, the treaty.”
“I’m so glad I learned about this treaty!”
Mandala Sigyn: “We were on our way to the Jericho Gate, when we were… waylaid.”
Mordecai: “It warms my heart to teach.”
Danielle Seamus: “That being said, we have honored our commitment to you regardless. We have been actively charting that space toward the Gate, and have proof to that effect.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): didn’t Mandala keep her charts
on the Sokourn
*sojourn
oh wait no she sent copies back
for PF
Danielle Seamus: “As for the apple… Mordecai, dear, what did the Adeptus Mechanicus do with the last recorded peach in existence?”
Jerrick Kamris: i could also draw out that unconfirmed chart we found on the diamond
if need be
Danielle Seamus: that’s a good point jerry
Mordecai: “I do not like to think about that, but it is indeed the reason that it is extinct.”
Mandala Sigyn: (profit motive for the win)
Danielle Seamus: “Well, there you have it! Logically, we simply *cannot* release the apple to you at this time. To do so would be in violation of the Barrow Dynasty’s commitment of delivering 500,000,000 apples to the Mechanicus!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Danielle I need a charm check
Danielle Seamus: this is why I wanted mandala to talk
Mandala Sigyn: “Well, I think I know what we’re doing with that garden world now.”
Danielle Seamus: damn you roleplaying
Mordecai: Does my good rep help Dani
Mandala Sigyn: (do you want me to Charm instead?)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yes
Mandala can make the pitch if she wants!
Danielle Seamus: (oh god yes)
Mordecai: “I had already been formulating plans for reproducing it, yes, we have equipment very suited to it on our fleet.”
Danielle Seamus: *emprah

Danielle Seamus: “Excommunicate Tratoris,” Danielle corrects with the familiarity of someone who’s been branded with it.
Mandala Sigyn: “Well, kind of both.”
“In any event, he believes there’s a shard here on Mars, so he’s on his way to collect.”
Danielle Seamus: “…I’m not sure if that designation has any legal import to the Mechanicus, come to think of it.”
Mordecai: “It is possible he is already here.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “WE RECOGNISE SUCH CONCEITS WHEN IT SUITS US.”
“INTRIGUING. THE MECHANICUS THANKS YOU FOR YOUR WARNING. IN RETURN FOR THE SAFE DELIVERY OF THE STC, YOUR TRANGRESSIONS ARE FORGIVEN. YOU MAY LEAVE.”

“However, your cooperation is much appreciated.”
Mordecai: “One of his heads, at least.”
Danielle Seamus leans into Mordecai, suddenly intimidated.
Danielle Seamus: “…he knows about the shard here and isn’t even missing a beat trying to offload us. Who *is* this guy?”
Mordecai: SEPHS
who is this guy
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “..TEN BILLION SKIITARII PATROL THE SURFACE. THE LEGIO TITANICUS BATTLE-DRILLS IN THE CAVERNS BELOW. DOZENS OF MAGOS PRIMES AND THEIR MILLION SERVANTS LIVE AND WORK ON THE PLANET. THE GREATEST TECHNOLOGY OF MANKIND DWELLS HERE.”
“YOU ARE A WOMAN OF AVERAGE HEIGHT WITH A MINOR MUTATION. YOUR SERVICES ARE NOT REQUIRED.”

Mordecai: “Permission to let him know about the codes Dracul has obtained, Inquisitor?”
Danielle Seamus: “AUGH also granted.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mordecai, from his augmentation he is at the very least a senior Magos Prime. He may even be an Archimandrite.
Aka the battle commander of Mars.
“THE ELDAR ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MACHINE GOD.”
Mordecai: “We have reason to believe he has acquired the security codes of the Lords Dragon.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Compared to the emperor, he is nothing. However, he managed to take down an astartes in hand-to-hand combat, so I wouldn’t underestimate him.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “BBBBBBBBBBBZZZZZ.”
Danielle Seamus: “Why would you say that with the Astartes right there”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “THE LORDS DRAGON ARE DEAD.”
Mordecai: “I have personally witnessed evidence to their existence in my investigation of the heretek Jevican Draklinus.”
Astartes: “I WAS CAUGHT UNAWARES AND HE CHEATED BY RUNNING AWAY!”
Mordecai: “Whether they are dead or not would not stop the rogue Inquisitor Dracul from obtaining their codes, if they were stored somewhere. I do not think he is the kind of bluff about that.”
Mandala Sigyn: “He’s also one of the most powerful psykers in existence. I wouldn’t be too hard on yourself, Astartes.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (jerrick, roll me a perception check, +10)
(Same with Mandala)
Mordecai: kind to bluff*

Rogue Trader GM (GM): No, Mandala.
Sorry!
Jerrick. you’re detecting the most subtle mind scan you’ve ever felt.
You can’t even detect the psychic resonance- all you can do is feel parts of your mind working faster than they should be.
Jerrick Kamris: can i tell where it’s coming from
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yes; towards the Astropath installation orbiting Mars.
Jerrick Kamris: oh
Jerrick suddenly snaps to attention, looking in the direction of the installation. “Someone is scanning our minds.”
Mordecai: “Always this immaterium nonsense.”
Danielle Seamus: “Double AUGH”
Por’la Kel’mara : “I would be surprised if thye weren’t…”
Mandala Sigyn: “Who? Where? I don’t sense anything.”
Jerrick Kamris: “There is an Astropath installation in orbit. It’s coming from there.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “OF COURSE.”
(From Danielle Seamus): assuming you’re rolling secret WP tests for my mental defenses just fyi
(From Danielle Seamus): any time someone fails to read my mind they take backlash damage
(To Danielle Seamus): yes but

“THE SCANNER AS YOU ENTERED ALSO CONFIRMED YOUR GENETIC CODES HAVE NOT BEEN TAMPERED WITH> SAVE, PERHAPS, THE BLUE XENOS. IT DOES NOT MATCH OUR GENETIC RECORDS OF TAU SPECIMENTS.”

Mandala Sigyn: “That’s… odd.”
Jake: “well that’s uncomofrtable.”
Mordecai: like 6 dos
Rogue Trader GM (GM): No, Mordecai
Por’la Kel’mara : “I assure you, i am quite Tau.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Most mechanicum can’t make astropaths do anything, really, except send mesages.
Mordecai: Whisper to Danielle. “That is not standard protocol at all.”
Danielle Seamus: “I DON’T KNOW IF WHISPERING WILL HELP IF THEY’RE READING OUR MINDS,” Danielle replies as loudly as she can to Mordecai.
Mordecai: “Hm, true.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “Regardless… If you know who we are then you must know what we’ve done and accomplished, and surely then, you would already know the depths and the depravity that Dracul has done. In such a case, could you really risk being wrong on what would happen if Dracul was successful? You would also know that thus far, we’ve been the only ones victiorious against him, and therefore it would only be a good thing to allow us to continue our fight against him…”
Mandala Sigyn: “Indeed. We can help you get rid of him.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “THEY HAVE DONE NO DEEPER PROBES. YOU WOULD HAVE NOTICED BEFORE. THE MECHANICUM HAS NOTICED MANY OTHER CITIZENS HAVE FOOLISH NOTIONS OF ‘PRIVACY’.”
“YOUR HELP IS NOT REQUIRED. THE LAST ‘HELP’ ON OFFICIAL NOTICE… LET US SEE…”
“…”
Danielle Seamus: “Privacy begets heresy,” Danielle agrees sagely.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “THE ADMINSTRATUM HAVE LOST ALL RECORDS OF THE EXISTENCE OF DANIELLE SEAMUS EXCEPT AN EXTERMINATUS ORDER. COMFORTING.”
Danielle Seamus: “:D”
Mordecai: “It is possible that was the only record in the first place.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “YOU ARE NOT HELPING YOUR POSITION.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “It’s obvious that Dracul abused his position to eliminate any records in order to deny you the information you would wish to use to give us the clearance to help. He is capable of no less, but much much more, and worse.”
Mandala Sigyn: “You are overconfident, good sir. Allow us to locate Dracul, and we can prevent a disaster from occurring.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “ALLOW AN INQUISITOR, A XENOS, THE LAST SURVIVOR OF A HOUSE OF ILLREPUTE DOWN ON HOLY MARS.”
Danielle Seamus: “Guys I’m thinking of a plan how do I stop thinking”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “I AM INCAPABLE OF LAUGHTER. BE THANKFUL.”
Mordecai: “I must also bring up that, to my knowledge, mind scanning is not standard protocol for identification. In fact, astropaths rarely can be forced to do anything but send and receive messages for the Mechanicum. That this is occurring is evidence that the heretical rogue Inquisitor Dracul already has his claws dug into Holy Mars.”
Mandala Sigyn: “You can’t, Seamus. Believe me, I’ve tried.”
Danielle Seamus: “Oh, bloody hell.”
Mordecai: god, I’m going to get fired
Por’la Kel’mara : join the club
Mandala Sigyn: “For example, I was trying /not/ to think about that, thank you Mordecai.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “AN INTERESTING PROPOSITION, LITTLE GENETOR.”
(From Danielle Seamus): if I Indomitable Will do I have a puncher’s chance of throwing off the probe?
Mandala Sigyn: “Oh no, he’s interested in something, we really are screwed.”
(From Danielle Seamus): because my thoughts are otherwise going to toss up horribly glaring red flags
(To Danielle Seamus): hmm yeah
(To Danielle Seamus): there’s only so many people in a choir
(To Danielle Seamus): though he DID say there were merely suface probes
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER THEORIES?”
(From Danielle Seamus): I know but if they go for my surface thoughts it’s going to be, ah
(From Danielle Seamus): ‘gonna threaten to destroy the STC’
Mandala Sigyn: “No, that about fits the evidence.”
(To Danielle Seamus): roll it,
(From Danielle Seamus): I mean if that doesn’t throw up red flags no need to WORRY
Mordecai: “That is the only logical conclusion I could draw, given the knowledge of the heretical powers of the Inquisitor.”

A MECHANICUM PRIEST WITH ACCESS TO POLITICAL RESOURCES BEYOND YOUR KEN, HOWEVER, COULD D- THE MIND PROBES HAVE COLLAPSED. ASTROPATH KAMRIS, CEASE!”

Rogue Trader GM (GM): There’s a huge spike of psyker feedback coming from someone in your party.
Mordecai: is it me
Danielle Seamus sidles up behind Mordecai and shoves the STC into his Potentia Coil.
Mandala Sigyn: …what
Por’la Kel’mara : ""
Mordecai: oh gosh not right here dani
Jerrick Kamris: “…”
Mordecai: “…”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “…”
Por’la Kel’mara : “…”
Danielle Seamus: “Okay, I’ve just about had it with arguing with Dracul’s puppets. So I’ll tell you what, Arch-Magos or whatever you are.”
“Give us the authorization or he’ll destroy the STC.”
Jerrick Kamris: can i tell WHICH member of the party
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yes
if it wasn’t obvious
it was Dani
Danielle Seamus: “…whether he actually wants to or not, given the energy output that thing usually has in combat.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “YOU WOULD NOT DOOM HUMANITY IN SUCH A WAY!”
Mordecai: “…So much for protecting my status. To protect Holy Mars, so be it.”
Danielle Seamus: “I don’t even know what it DOES”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “IT IS AN STC. TREAD CAREFULLY, INQUISITOR. YOU DO NOT WISH TO MAKE ME YOUR ENEMY. NOT SO SOON AFTER CONVINCING ME TO LET YOU LIVE.”
Danielle Seamus: “You’ll get the STC back, safe and sound. Once we save the Imperium *and* the Mechanicus from Dracul and the Void Dragon.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Can someone fill in the poor clueless Navigator on what’s going on, here?”
Danielle Seamus: “After that, you can do whatever you want with me.”
“I think an Inquisitor should facilitate your ‘trading interests’ quite nicely, no?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “…YOUR REACTION IS FOOLISH. YOUR EMOTIONS ARE CONVINCING YOU TO- I DO NOT HAVE THE PROCESSING POWER TO WASTE ON THIS. YOU WILL PAY FOR WASTING MY TIME, INQUISITOR.”
Danielle Seamus: “I’m threatening the STC to get us access to where we need to go,” Danielle chirps jovially at Mandala.
Mandala Sigyn: "Right, but why was he freaking out in the first place?
Danielle Seamus: “Oh I uh might have broken the mind probe.”
Mandala Sigyn: “…HOW?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “[BINARY] SHUTTLE ACCESS GRANTED TO THESE HERETICS. ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE STC FROM PARTY ONLY TO BE ATTEMPTED IF PERMAMENT LOSS OF STC IS IMPOSSIBLE. AUTHORISATION: FABRICATOR-GENERAL KHARLA.”
Mordecai: thanks carl
Mandala Sigyn: “Funny, you struck me as more of an Allison.”
Danielle Seamus: “They were trying to get into my mind.”
Harbinger: (you understand Binary?)
Danielle Seamus: “I just showed them everything that was inside.”
Mordecai: “We have been granted access. Let us make haste.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “[BINARY] YOU KNOW WHO I AM GENETOR. YOU KNOW YOU ARE TALKING TO A MERE 2% OF MY MENTAL PROCESSING. YOU KNOW MY POWER. THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE.”
Harbinger: aaaaaaaaaaa
Mandala Sigyn: (I was making a joke, but I do have Polyglot)
Harbinger: (fair)
Mordecai: “[Binary]I will do what it necessary to protect Holy Mars. If you cannot see that this is the logical course, then I will prove it through doing it.”
Danielle Seamus: “…we’re going to have to do weapons and equipment OSP.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Yeah, they even stripped me of my weapons… including the sunrifle.” :(
Mordecai: “Oh, right, I have a horrible xenos glaive if you wish to use it, Inquisitor.”
“Well, back on the ship. Details.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “SO BE IT. YOU ARE DECLARED HERE-TEK.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “0_0”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The screen winks out. The skiitarii all collapse like puppets with their strings cut.
Por’la Kel’mara : “I, wh-… what happened?”
Danielle Seamus: “……oh, dear.”
Mordecai: “…Let us get this over with.” Mordy sighs.
Jerrick Kamris: “I thought that went well, all things considered.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Let’s see how hostile they are when we pry a C’Tan out of their archives.”
Mordecai: “We have been granted access. That is what is important. All other things can be dealt with later.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “Probably pretty hostile.”
Danielle Seamus starts walking to the shuttle, before stopping stopping mid-stride.
Mandala Sigyn: “Perhaps. But then I’ll need to deal with the Paternova business, so let’s try not to get excommunicated, shall we?”
Mordecai: “That has worked well so far.”
Danielle Seamus: Her shoulders start to sag heavily as she coughs up smoke… and a bit of blood.
Mandala Sigyn: “Haven’t you gotten your augmented lungs by now, Seamus?”
Mordecai: Clank clank clank back to the shuttle.
or just to the shuttle
Danielle Seamus: “Heh. Never without a moment of levity.”
“Mordecai.” Harbinger waits for a pregnant pause before continuing. “…Jerrick.”
“I’m sorry.”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick raises an eyebrow. “An apology? From you?”
Mandala Sigyn: “…What’s going on?”
Mordecai: “Unexpected. What brings this on?”
Danielle Seamus: “I… nothing. Nothing at all.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Danielle, after all this time, you want to fuck with us?”
“Still?”
Danielle Seamus: “The thought had crossed my mind.”
Grin.
Mandala Sigyn: “If you’re gonna open your mouth to say something, then spit out something besides blood, because we do not have time for your dramatics.”
Por’la Kel’mara : "There are many days when I find myself surprised to awake after anight’s sleep.
Danielle Seamus: “I said everything that needed to be said.” The Inquisitor raises an eyebrow. “Shall we?”
“…oh, right, we have our guests.”
Lee: The Rogue Trader shakes her had. “I’m staying. You managed to get me the ire of a High Lord of Terra. or one of her servants at least. Who knows what you’ll manage on the surface?”
Jerrick Kamris: “…Let’s continue, yes. We still have a job to do.”
Mordecai: “I would rather not be branded a heretek for nothing, let us at least paint Holy Mars with the rogue Inquisitor’s blood.”
Danielle Seamus nods. “Your fleet is on its way to reunite with you. You do remember your obligations to the Barrow Dynasty, I trust?”
Danielle Seamus: “Against the odds it may be for them to actually necessitate fulfillment.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “…IF they’re not merely destroyed, yes.”
“Where are you even going? Mars is gigantic. This ‘shard’ could be anywhere!”
Mandala Sigyn: “It will be well protected, by the mechanicum itself. They are corrupted.”
Danielle Seamus: “Genetor, you should be familiar with the signal readings from the last shards we’ve scanned, yes?”
Mordecai: “Yes.”
Danielle Seamus: “Okay, next. Jake. You’re not coming with us.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “I love you.”
“I love you always, boss.”
Danielle Seamus: “Shut up. You have one more mission, as routine as it may be.”
“I swear to the Emperor if you botch this I will come back from the Immaterium itself and drag you in to suffer my wrath for all eternity.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Got it.”
Danielle Seamus ruffles her hair a bit. “There’s… a girl. One who was taken by the Black Ships to become a Sanctioned Psyker. Her name is Abelia.”
Danielle Seamus: “Authorization is Inquisitor Dracul’s. If she survived the process, find her and make sure she’s cared for.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Alright.”
Danielle Seamus: “That would leave… the Astartes.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Ah yes, the girl who was captured by the tau. I wonder how she’s doing?”
Danielle Seamus: Harbinger looks at the Space Marine. “So. What do *you* want?”
“…for that matter, you got a name?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The half-naked warrior smiles at you. “You pissed in the face of a High Lady of Terra. Ha. Your guts must be threatening to tear out of your stomach.”
“I am Skaldr. I was a Skald. Hence the name.”
Mandala Sigyn: “You are… from Fenris?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “I am a son of Russ, yes, witch.”
Danielle Seamus: “I didn’t KNOW that was the Fabricator-General. :/”
Mandala Sigyn: “We have had previous experience with the Space Wolves chapter. If all goes well, we can get you back to them once all this madness is done.”
“And please do not insult me. I am a Navigator, not some rabble rogue psyker.”
Lee: “I don’t think that was. She would never deign to meet with US. A high-ranked servant. Or a node. You can never tell with priests.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): " Maleficarum is Maleficarum. Call a rock a rock." He shrugs
Danielle Seamus: “You. I like you.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “I am still wounded. Should you wish, I will die on the planet with all of you.”
Danielle Seamus: “YOU WOULDN’T HAPPEN TO BE HIDING A FROST BLADE ON YOUR PERSON SOMEHOW”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “No.”
Danielle Seamus: “…I left my Frost Blade back on the ship.”
“Poor, poor Dreknung.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Ha. You’re serious. I like… DREKNUNG?”
Por’la Kel’mara : “We all left a great deal on the ship.”
Mandala Sigyn: “And unfortunately, our ship is- I’m assuming that means it’s an important name?”
Danielle Seamus: “Oh does someone actually KNOW what that is? This is better than expected.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The warrior leaps up. “The blade that bit the eye of Halfjord, the Ice Dragon? The decimator of the endless sons?”
Danielle Seamus: “…that could be right!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Yes. I have heard of it.” He subsides. “It was given to one of the veterans who joined Father Russ on his saga.”
“You found it.”
Danielle Seamus: “We did it Mandy”
Mandala Sigyn: “…Yes, we did.”
“You won’t like where, though.”
Danielle Seamus: “We were doing so WELL mMandy”
*Mandy
Jerrick Kamris: “We should get going.” Jerrick speaks up quickly.
Mandala Sigyn: “Yes, let’s get on with it.”

Mordecai: check your navigator privilege
Danielle Seamus: “Anyway, yeah, come with us. We might find some comically oversized weapons you can use.”
“And by ‘might’ I mean ‘welcome to Mars, the biggest armory in the galaxy’.”
Mandala Sigyn: “We should get ourselves properly equipped before we descend into the depths.”
Jerrick Kamris: “If we can. I don’t expect the mechanicus to be very welcoming, after our entrance.”
Danielle Seamus: “Yeah, unless we can somehow pull a fast one, our best bet may be to just scavenge weapons and equipment at the site.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I am quite skilled at ‘fast ones,’ but if you insist.”
Harbinger: Well what’s the vote, we can do either one
Jerrick Kamris: let’s wing it
imo
Mordecai: ya
Jerrick Kamris: we got weapons and stuff
i’m sure we’ll be FINE
Harbinger: that’s true Mandy can just protect us with her brain fire

Rogue Trader GM (GM): You’re detecting a similar reading… below the planet’s surface.
Mordecai: just passed scrutiny
wait no, just failed
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Below the biggest hive city on the Red planet, Olympus.
Mordecai: “It is below Olympus.”
Danielle Seamus: “Well, that’s an uneasy coincidence.”
“What’s our point of ingress, you think?”
Jerrick Kamris: “I’ve always wondered what Mars was like,” Jerrick muses as they descend. “Didn’t have much time for sightseeing on my last visit.”
Mordecai: “In any case, we will have to go through the hive itself, to be more specific…”
what kinda check is it to know this junk
Danielle Seamus: “Well. Maybe that’ll give me a chance to change out of this corpse-starch sack, at least.”
Mordecai: is it NAVIGATION?

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Navigate surface if you have somewhere you want to go!
Mordecai: ‘wherever gets underground quickest’
Danielle Seamus: We want to navigate the fastest way to the lowest reaches of the hive that this shuttle can access.
Mordecai: what’s mandy’s base navi surface?

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Your shuttle zooms between what looks like land-based artillery platforms, and smaller arms platforms.
Mordecai: why would a PILOT have navigation SURFACE
Danielle Seamus: *a fake pilot
Jerrick Kamris: that’s crazy talk
Rogue Trader GM (GM): As you reach the bottom, you can see something stride across the little of mars’ natrual ground that remains
Mordecai: it’s dracul
land on him
It is like a dreadnought, but of a size that is almost as immense as an Imperial space vessel. It macrocannon batteries on its arms, and as you fall it tracks you. It has just strode out of a whole in the ground.
Harbinger: a whole
Jerrick Kamris: oh
man
Mordecai: a whole ground
Rogue Trader GM (GM): *hole
Jerrick Kamris: let’s hijack
this titan
Harbinger: that’s not how titans work
It is the most exemplary manifestation of Mechanicum might. It is a Titan.
Mordecai: jerry can i shove you in there
Harbinger: we need a PRINCEPS
Jerrick Kamris: dang
Danielle Seamus: “Whokay I was not expecting THAT.”
Mordecai: “Magnificent.”
Por’la Kel’mara : “That is… why don’t *we* have one yet?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You can also see the bottom tier of the hive city; there is an opening venting sewage.
Mordecai: “Because tech heresy.”
Danielle Seamus: “Well, it’s a good thing you’re a heretek now!”
Danielle Seamus rubs elbows with Mordecai, then looks awkward.
Mordecai: “Always looking on the bright side.”
Mandala Sigyn: (sorry, got called away for dinner)
“…Are we going to have to fight that thing? Please tell me we don’t have to fight that thing.”
Skaldr: “We can. We would die, but we can.”
Danielle Seamus: “Pretty sure even fully equipped that thing would massacre us. Let’s just try not to get in its way…”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): None of the weapons on anything are currently firing at you.
Danielle Seamus takes the shuttle down toward the hole in the ground, looking to see if that’s a way into the underground catacombs of Mars.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): There is what looks like a holding bay down there.
Agitated Skiitarii spot you from inside, and are shouting commands at each other while cybernetic humanoids look impassively on.
Mandala Sigyn: “What’s the plan, Seamus?”
Por’la Kel’mara : “Don’t we have clearance? .. ish?”
Mordecai: “They are under orders to not attack unless they can retrieve the STC with 100% success.”
Danielle Seamus: “We act neutrally right now, I think is the call. We’ve still got the STC.”
“…try not to let that potentia coil get too hot, Genetor.”
Mordecai: “I will be cautious.”
no luminen bs ;~;
Mandala Sigyn: “Then let’s get the hell down here, see if we can’t lure a few of those skitarii down to help us melt the shard.”
Danielle Seamus: “Speed is of the essence here. For once, our presence shouldn’t be accounted for by Dracul. We can beat him to the punch.”
“We *will* beat him.”
Landing the shuttle.
WAIT
what is Mars’ atmosphere like
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The shuttle lands on a walkway above three holding spots for titans. Two of them are empty; a scout-class Titan sits below you.
Danielle Seamus: time to suffocate as the hatch pops open against my consent
Rogue Trader GM (GM): A lot of people are wearing breathing equipment or cybernetics, but the laborers are breathing… smei-fine
*semui
*smei
…
Jerrick Kamris: semi
Danielle Seamus: well done
Rogue Trader GM (GM): yes
Por’la Kel’mara : ;)
Danielle Seamus: “We’ll still want to see if we can get breathing apparatuses and any radiation protection, if possible.”
“The underbelly of Mars is notoriously inimical to life.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Perhaps I should have invested in power armor after all,” Mandala said.
Mordecai: “That did not help me.”
Danielle Seamus: “Hey, you think you can convince those Skiitarii to give up any breathing equipment?”
“See if they’ve got any anti-rad meds too.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I could try.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Skiitarii are staring at you, hellguns raised.
Danielle Seamus: “What’s the worst that could happen!?”
Mandala Sigyn: “We die, but what else is new/”
*?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): What do you do?
Mandala Sigyn turns to the skitarii. “Alright, folks, listen up. You just got an order about shooting us if you can extract the STC. We understand you need to follow orders. However, we’re not here to dally about with toys- we are on an important, Emperor-given mission to eradicate an extremely dangerous threat that is extremely close to Holy Terra. I don’t care what your Fabricator-General said, I don’t care what chatter you’ve hear in binary- your existence, and the continuing existence of the Adeptus Mechanicum is dependent on your assistance /right now./ We need breathers, we need radiation protection, we need arms, and we need them RIGHT. NOW. So would you all kindly help us? Or do you want for the real danger to arrive, and see how well your hellguns do?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Ooh
Harbinger: UNIVERSE OF TEXT

Mandala Sigyn: so 2 DoS
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Skiitarii are impassive, but a female with strange head enchancements inches forward.
“I… assume if you feel radiation death coming on, you will destroy the STC?”
Mandala Sigyn: “If we feel radiation death coming on, you won’t need to worry about any STCs ever again.”
Harbinger: (“well THAT’S a relief”)
Mandala Sigyn: “In case it wasn’t clear, that’s because Mars would be a pile of irradiated scrap.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Get them basic equipment. I… cannot authorise the transfer of arms to you. Perhaps it is as you say, but I would die if I did anyway.”
“And if I will die anyway, I prefer not to arm hereteks with my last act.”
Mandala Sigyn: “If you are truly lucky, girl, you will never need to know why we were here. Now move!”
Danielle Seamus: “I’m sure there will be plenty of weapons within anyway. Not that that’s a *good* thing.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): As you are outside the shuttle, you notice the wall at the other end of the bay has a giant symbol of a serpent.
Mordecai: well that could mean anything
Jerrick Kamris: “…Out of curiosity, has anyone else come down here lately?”
Danielle Seamus: “If Dracul’s come through, it’s as likely as not that he wiped the encounter from their memories.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “No.”
Danielle Seamus: “Or data-banks, as it were. We should make haste.”
Mandala Sigyn: “And get something for the Astartes! Emperor, no space marine should ever go without at least his armor and a bolter.”
Danielle Seamus clamps the rebreather onto her face.
Mandala Sigyn closes the personal gellar field around herself.
Danielle Seamus: After popping some rad pills.
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick gears up too~
Mordecai: SUIT UP
Por’la Kel’mara : transformand roll out
Rogue Trader GM (GM): they’re common quality
Danielle Seamus: you’re common quality
Mandala Sigyn: (sorry I didn’t roll better guys)
Jerrick Kamris: (it’s np)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): They bring the Astartes a small bolt pistol. They seem to like HIM at least.
Danielle Seamus: “I’ll take point.” Move forward and advance into the dungeon.
Mordecai: we still have the greatest weapon of all
drakey’s friendship
so np
Danielle Seamus: …can drakey fit?
Mandala Sigyn: (I assume we’ll be ending this here?)
Danielle Seamus: man I hope drakey can come

Danielle Seamus: fineeeeee

At the very end of it all is a small chamber; the mechanicum’s sigils have disappeared, revealing what looks like an ancient version of the Aquila. In the middle stands some sort of light projection, of a simple man descended from the deserts of Terra.

The darkness of the room does little to hide the threat in front of you. Created from the corpse of some unknown predator, the giant drake gargles its own blood in its throat as you see revealed-blood vessels pulsating to power the re-animated creature. Its open mouth reveals its tongue has been replaced by a gun made out of living flesh, and worst of all is its cries are answered elsewhere in the holding pens you find yourself in. There are other beasts waiting to escape…
Rogue Trader GM (GM):
Alexandria Barrow ignores the creature, drawing her own power sword and stepping forward, body shaking slightly as her eyes fixate on Jerrick Kamris.
Rogue Trader GM (GM):
Meanwhile, on the grav-platforms floating above the necron battleship that the dark eldar have turned into their gladiatorial arena, a slave that might have one been an Eldar before his extensive surgery manages to bow to Mandala and Barrow. “Mistresses, my lady wishes to pass you a message.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM):
And light-years away in another part of the dark city, a very dishevelled old man finds himself frozen as a gun is placed to his head. “[low gothic] Pardon the cliché, dear, but don’t move. I’d hate to waste ammunition from such a delightful weapon. Why were you skulking around this port, and who sent you?”

Iron Jake sighs, slumping resignedly. “Well, y’see, lass, ’ere’s the thing. I was lookin’ for the loo and got turned around-”
Iron Jake: He suddenly cuts off the rambling spiel, instantly snapping up a sidearm in his calloused hand to aim in kind at the would-be hostage taker.

Iron Jake swivels on his peg leg with obscenely uncharacteristic grace, hurriedly juggling another naval pistol into his off hand.
Her Grace And Champion Of The Emperor The Lady Sun Lee of the Ma’Kao Dynasty, First Of Her Name: “What part of ‘do not move’ do you not understand?!”
Mandala Sigyn: “What message is this?” Mandala says, wondering what sort of mad society would do something like this to one of their own.
Your target scowls at you from tehe shadows of the dock’s lowest level.
Iron Jake: “Forgive me, lass, it’s a habit of mine to never take a woman’s word at face value.” Jake’s face scrunches up into something resembling scrutiny.
“You must be Lee, then?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Up above on the grav platforms, the slave bows and scrapes at Mandala. “She wishes you to know the arena for the honoured lady Succubus is being set up. The glorious traps to murder the mon’keigh fools who will be her instruments are being installed, you-who-I-am-not-worthy-of-sharing-air.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I see.”
“Is that all?”
Slave: “Yes, oh glorious one. I was told you would understand what to do.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Very well. Be off, I have work to get done.”
Lee: Below, the woman snorts. “And I should tell you who I am, because…?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Above, the slave leaves, bowing and scraping)
Iron Jake: “Mmm, come t’think of it, your stuck-up attitude is a good enough answer.”
Lee: “…I am going to shoot you now. I don’t know if I’m ever going to stop.”
Mandala Sigyn sighs. “I suppose a bit of sabotage will be in order.”
Iron Jake makes a sprint into the nearest bit of cover, hobbling with his pneumatic leg the whole way.

Falling prone at the end of his action.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Lee herself takes cover behind a crate. “Tell your masters, when they re-animate your corpse, I’m not that easy to catch!”
Iron Jake: “I - oh, bollocks - presume y’still need a way off this shite hole whenever y’DO end up stoppin’?”
“…Inquisitor Danielle can reanimate my corpse? Throne, oi, that seems like something she wouldn’t be above…”
Lee: “Oh Emperor, she IS an Inquisitor- wait, you expect me to believe she managed to contact some dreg like you from a SLAVE PIT?”
Iron Jake: “Oh, right, I’m not supposed t’mention that. Now yer in fer it, Jake, now yer in for it…”
Iron Jake props himself up, taking a guarded stance behind cover. “Yer girlfriend sent me here to get you outta this pit once you botched the finish. Or somethin’, I’m not terribly clear on the details.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Lee stops shooting. For a second. “My- an INQUISIT- eeewwww. She set me up, old man. There was half a Kabal’s worth of guards waiting where she dropped us off. And some Kroot, to top everything off! I barely got away with my life.”
Iron Jake: “Haha, yeah, that sounds like Seamus.”
Lee: “Emperor, Dracul was creepy, but at least you knew where you stood with HIM.”
Iron Jake: “Probably thought you could handle it. Inquisitor doesn’t seem to understand when people aren’t as suicidal as she is.”
Lee: “I did, after a fashion.” She sounds smug. “The problem is getting BACK there.”
Iron Jake: “But I’m just an old man trying to make ‘is way back to Terminus Est, Lee. Y’can trust me, right as Commorragh’s acid rain.”

Lee: “About as far as I can throw you, I’m sure, but… go on.”
Iron Jake: “I’ve got more than a few experiences dealing with these knife-ear xenos. Xenoses? Whatever.”
Lee: “You make a compelling case.”
Iron Jake: “As a bonus, I’m not currently being hunted down by erryone of ’em in the vicinity.”
“I distract the tall, dark, and broodin’ sentries and give ye the opportunity to slip by onto the next transport to Terminus Est. Stowin’ away in their slave pens - they’re sure to have ‘em, they’re probably the most lucrative slave traders on the station.”
“Well, long as ye don’t count the Stryxis…”
“Then… well, I hadn’t thought much beyond ‘being sold as a slave in Terminus Est’, I’ll give ye that.”
Lee: “Hmm. I suppose I could do that. OR I could hijack a raider and sail out of here without anyone being any the wiser.”
Iron Jake: “Oi, see? This’s why we don’t like dealin with you Rogue Traders; yer too big for yer britches.”
“Fine, say we do that. What ship’d ya have in mind?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She waves something in front of you. It’s a staff of some kind. “Reading the letters on this rod, the ship is apparently called the Repent Or Die. A lovely name. And this is the key to its bridge.”
Iron Jake: Jake have any inkling of where a ship named that might be docked?
Either from hearing or seeing it as he’s been perusing the docks

“Raiders’r on the third level, so that narrows it down slightly…”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Lee hesitates. “Yes. I know where the ship is.”

Rith is 19 Mordy is 17
Danielle Seamus: “Kahnak Rith! You… think you can corral that beast?”
Kahnak Rith: “I can attempt to do so.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The room is dark, providing the usual penalty to hit to anyone without nightvision.
Danielle Seamus: “That didn’t sound exceptionally confident. Kamris, can you get Barrow on the horn?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Does anyone still have night vision without armour?
(SHE SHOULD BE if he’s maintaining it)
Danielle Seamus: ~Or is she already linked up?~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yeah fair
Harbinger: Most of us should have photo-visors for Dark Sight.
Kahnak Rith: you said we could keep our sweet contact lenses
Jerrick Kamris: (yeah she’s still linked)
With your enhanced vision, you can see some balconies above you where dark eldar with tech-priest like biological arms are comparing notes. You can also see the lift behind you and another lift on the other side of the room. two more (unbroken) cages of the drakes, two smaller cages with spiders with blades for legs on either side of the room and a cage of what looks like Eldar Murder Servitors at the far end of the room
Captain N. Barrow: “Oh we have a chance to get a new pet?”
Kahnak Rith: My init should be 19 and Mordy’s should be 17 JUST SAYIN

None of the cages are open, save for the flesh-wrought drake in front of you’s, and two empty cages to your left. It looks like something tore through the bars with ferocious blunt impact.

Kahnak Rith: ya i know

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright, COMBAT START

Up above, a slave nudges at Barrow and Mandala. “Honoured guests, the Legend of Damocles has engaged in fighting. I am told this will be wonderful, but I of course are incapable of feeling such emotion, the wretch I am.”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick gives the eldar observer another look, his mouth twisting into a grin. “You even had the decency to show yourself to me this quickly. I’m grateful.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Eldar isn’t even looking at you.
Danielle Seamus: “Kamris I’m not gonna lie that’s totally creepy.”
Jerrick Kamris: “It’s some revenge stuff don’t worry about it.”

Rogue Trader GM (GM): She did

Nothing else special about it though
Jerrick Kamris: kk
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You also find a LOT of drugs
Jerrick Kamris: dying is a hell of a drug
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Danielle, you stop runnin.
As you’ve hit an anti-gravity room/
Jerrick Kamris: dangit
i wanna get up there
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Up above, Barrow and Mandala can see Danielle has made it to the room they saw Dracul fighting the Astartes and Tau in earlier)
Danielle Seamus: “Waaaaaaaaaaa~”

Jerrick Kamris: :(

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Perhaps that’s a smile on her face, or perhaps that’s just your imagination, but either way her body is never going to be reanimated again.
You hit the Dark Eldar easily
Por’la Kel’mara: danielle is now playing Juse Cause: rogue Trade rEdition

haeomonculi: “[Low Gothic Translator] Unhand me, Mon’keigh oaf!”
Kahnak Rith: man i gotta collect that precious geneseed
Jerrick Kamris: is there any easy way up to the balcony that isn’t “just jump”
Kahnak Rith: that works for either mordy or rith thinking it
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Not that you can see Jerrick.
(Danielle you cna see the lift from the previous room leads up to this one)
Danielle Seamus: “Whatever you say, xenos.”
Kahnak Rith: Can our pet dragon fit on the lift

Rogue Trader GM (GM): The haemonculi still lives and lashes back at you
Danielle Seamus: Danielle grabs ahold of the eldar’s many arms and snaps them like twigs, distorting them like broken stems in the anti-gravity.

Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Heamonculus dies in your grasp
Jerrick Kamris: “Farewell, my captain,” Jerrick whispers to the ashes of Alexandria Barrow, before climbing up onto the alien zombie dinosaur for further adventures.
Danielle Seamus: Danielle, feeling Jerrick’s mind, confirms the way to the room through the lift.
Jerrick Kamris: ~We’re on our way.~
Kahnak Rith: To the lift, drakey!
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The lift moves up slowly, until you arrive in the same room as Danielle, and a bunch of bodies.
Danielle Seamus snaps the spine of the haemonculus, hefting up its hideous head for whatever viewers are there to see.
Danielle Seamus: “Are you not entertained!?!?”
Kahnak Rith: dangit i coulda used that
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The room is featureless save for them, a hole in the ceiling, a hole in the floor and some debris
Danielle Seamus: you can still eat/study this
probably not a great idea
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (up above the Dark Eldar are cheering)
Kahnak Rith: Fair
Jerrick Kamris: “Then it is done. She’ll rest peacefully.”
Mordecai is gonna try and make his way to the Astartes’ body.
Danielle Seamus: “Something that may serve for a cause to regret, yet.”
~Sigyn, are you connected? What’s your status?~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The astartes’ hand immediately grabs Mordecai by the neck.
Por’la Kel’mara O_O
Mordecai: “hrk”
Por’la Kel’mara: “H-he’s alive!”
Mordecai: “We are not enemies.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Foolish… make sure… an enemy’s DEAD… before you loot his corpse, PUP.”
“You were WITH… the OLD MAN…”
Mandala Sigyn: ~I’m here, just a bit preoccupied. What’s going on?~
Danielle Seamus: “Battle-Brother!” Danielle floats over strangely, displaying the Rosette as best as she can.
“That ‘old man’ is an Inquisitorial target.”
~We seem to have eliminated the bulk of our opposition. Are you any closer to an exit strategy?~
Danielle Seamus turns her attention back to Mandala.
Mordecai: “And I only came to you to fulfill my duty as a Genetor of the Adeptus Mechanicus.”
“If you yet live, I can render you medical aid, if you will be an aid to us.”
Asartes: “The Inquisition? All-Father, can’t you let an old soldier die in peace?” He snorts. “He is no servant of the primordial annihilator, nor a stranger to the art of murdermake. What do you want with him, girl?”
Mandala Sigyn: ~Somewhat. You will later be going up against the succubus. They have trapped the ring, but rather than eliminate the traps, I have… reorganized them. It will still be dangerous, but you should have at least a bit more of an edge than you did."
Danielle Seamus: “He is an Apostate to the Imperial Order. He takes up the mantle of Vandire in his zealotry.”
~How about you and Barrow?~
Astartes: “See, this is what happens when you dare to keep history written down. it keeps repeating itself.” He tries to chuckle and coughs up blood. “You need to hurry, then. He believed the next chamber was his goal.”
Mandala Sigyn: ~We’re alright, for now, but I think the Hierarch is pissed at us. Be careful, these guys don’t play fair.~
Danielle Seamus: ~You are both in the den of the most dangerous vipers.~
~…likewise.~
Danielle Seamus pets the Fleshwrought Drake on its snout.
Danielle Seamus: “Genetor, apply medicae to the Battle-Brother, and then let’s move.”
Mordecai: what’s the penalty for astartes
Danielle Seamus: it’s probably a BONUS
Mordecai: what’s the BONUS
Danielle Seamus: in the same way orks give a huge bonus to medica
e
Mordecai: for astartes
Jerrick Kamris: “I don’t suppose the Xenos is in a similar condition to the astartes?” Jerrick looks to the Tau warrior.
Harbinger: kel
loot it
Por’la Kel’mara: D:
Mordecai: he might have some sweet tau gear
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It’s dead.
Por’la Kel’mara looks over the body of the Fire Catse sadly. [Tau] “He deserved so much better.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It appears you have been minutes too late.

He pushes himself off nearby debris. “The old man went up there. I do not know what maleficarum protects him, but his witchery is only matched by his guile.”
Danielle Seamus freezes up. “The shard.”
Danielle Seamus: im
outta here
Por’la Kel’mara: “It *is* a necrontyr ship…”
huppin’
Jerrick Kamris: “We have to stop him.”
Danielle Seamus: “But…”
The Inquisitor’s mouth clamps shut.
Jerrick Kamris: “Or would you rather he have his way AGAIN? He’s been a step ahead of us every time.”
“The Imperium itself is in danger, Inquisitor. Is that rosette just for show?”
Danielle Seamus rubs her scalp intently, her eyes fluttering as she shakes her head. “Let’s…”
Danielle Seamus: “Let’s go.”
float clumsily to the next chamber
Por’la Kel’mara: “Odd that we will have an audience this time, but…”
Jerrick Kamris: i will float skillfully to the next chamber~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): As soon as you enter the tunnel, you find yourself pulled up.
Harbinger: how much sweet tau gear
did he have
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He has
a kabalite spinter gun
and a single tau photon grenade
Danielle Seamus: Dani lets herself go slack as she feels the tug upward.
Por’la Kel’mara: reeeeeeeloadin’
(the grenado)
Mordecai: weeee
You are all dragged up through the tunnel into a webway portal, spitting you out in an extremely familiar room. At its centre, sits what remains of the dragon. Its outer shell has been burnt by some unknown means, and its body is pinned to the ground by eldar crystals, periodically releasing energy into the shard, making it judder. The creature screams in a bastardisation of holy binary.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): An old man is sitting in front of it, smoking a lho-stick. “You took your bloody time. What were you DOING down there? I even sent the bloody lift back down!”
Danielle Seamus: “S…. step away from it, Dracul.”
Dracul: He shrugs, and does so. “Fine. I got half what I wanted, anyway. Pity about the other half, but well, that’s what Mars is for, isn’t it?”
“What, grox got yer tongues?” The clone laughs. “I don’t need the body, I needed the spirit inside. Half of it’s corrupted by what the bloody XENOS did, of course. Coulda saved it, but as soon as I saw you all here I knew that was unlikely. Still, I’m glad for all the fighting you did down there, in the end; I saved what I could. Thanks. I mean it.”
Por’la Kel’mara -:|
Danielle Seamus: “You… won’t get the one on Mars. You won’t even get past the Magos to its holy surface.”
Jerrick Kamris: “Bloody hell,” Jerrick growls. “Too late. Again.”
Mordecai: “Such a thing would not be permitted, yes.”
Dracul: “Don’t be too hard on yourself, Jerry! If you hadn’t rushed me I’d have enough ALREADY as it is… well, Mars.” He chuckles. “You never visited those damocles stations, did you?”
Danielle Seamus scoffs. “Your prophecy made it clear that there’s no shards there.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “No. Of course not. But that’s where it all began, all the same. The Dragon has had CARETAKERs in the Mechanicum, ‘Inquisitor’.”
“The Lords Dragon were real. And I have their codes and countersigns, now.”
Captain N. Barrow: Barrow was right
Dracul: “So whatever team you sent to Mars, they’re probably already too late, Dani-girl.”
Danielle Seamus: “It… it won’t be enough! Mars belongs to more than just the Magos. It’s a deathtrap of the Dark Age of Technology!”
Mordecai: “It is not possible to penetrate all of Holy Mars’s defenses.” Mordecai says with less than certainty in his tone.
Dracul: “I was born there, Dani. You don’t have to tell ME that.” He shrugs. “I’ve got plenty of spares. Race ya.”
“But me a mate, and murder as many Eldar here as you can first. No rush!” He waves. “I’ll see you all at the library.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He puts a stubgun to his head.
Por’la Kel’mara is flabbergasted.
Danielle Seamus: Lightning advance and disarm.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Go for it

(From Danielle Seamus): a Fear test
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Up above, the Eldar start chanting in their own language. The Succubus heads in front of the crowd, and points to Danielle and says something in their heathen tongue. The Eldar cheer, and turn towards the new arena they have built.

Por’la Kel’mara has a moment(s) of panic and flings himself across the chamber screaming in Tau
Voice: A booming sound enters the chamber. “{Low Gothic] Filthy mon’keighs. You, the winners, have been granted the ultimate honour; of dying by the hand of Irkalla, the Blood Scythe. Enter the portal to receive your final reward, slaves.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): A web portal opens up at the other end of the chamber, past Dracul and the c’tan shard’s corpses.

Harbinger: (she’s the other thing, the dracon)
(I think)
Por’la Kel’mara: o-oh.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The drachon shakes her head. “The Succubus is down there, with the slaves! She’s still insisting on fighting!”
Mandala Sigyn: “It’s a demon, you have tons of weapons. Kill it!”
Jerrick Kamris: oh
boy
Elvaria: “We… we need to leave. Now. Everyone.The Archon can hang for all I care anymore!”
“Oh, I will. From orbit.”
Harbinger: that’s a lot of wyches
Mordecai: oh man
i can see my power klaw
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Irkala laughs. “A symphony of screams! Can you hear my race’s fear, slaves? Can you taste it? This is the most glorious day of life!”
Danielle Seamus: “Fitting that it should be the last!!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She’s accompanied by a cabal of wyches, and two eldar affixed with biografted wings. A giant ork is on another platform, who nods at you and cracks his power-klaw against his knuckles. “Oh, humies. Your boss promised me her own head if I helped ya. Stay down and let me do the krumpin.”
Ork: “If you’re too stupid to keep your head down, don’t bleed on me new suit, ya grots. I’m CIVILISED now.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 7 init graffletz
Mandala Sigyn: “Hahaha! The great and mighty eldar, brought low by a servant of the Prince of Pleasure? This is delicious.” Mandala smiles. “What would you give me if I went down there and took care of it for you?”
Harbinger: all my faith powers are probably expired, right
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “We are NOT brought low. We… merely need to bring more firepower. The Eldar are scared of no creature, Kaos or otherwise.”
yes Dani
Danielle Seamus: what are we thinking for this battle
Rogue Trader GM (GM): One of the wyches moves and the ground beneath her collapses as she lands in a spiked spit.
Danielle Seamus: more Passion?
Mordecai: i liek passion
Irkalla: “Someone changed the traps… yesssssss. Hear the SCREAMS!”
Por’la Kel’mara: “Time to not move…”
Danielle Seamus: Let’s Tests of Faith activate The Passion.
Mandala Sigyn: “Oh please, I know why it is your people torture, rape and slaughter. You live in constant /fear/ of the Chaos gods. Your lives are shaped by it, but you don’t even really fight back! You supplicate it, because you have lost all ability to fight! Now stand back and kneel, and watch as the ’mon’keigh’ do your jobs for you!”
Danielle Seamus: “You know, I thought of deeming your kind the Light Eldar. But that’s not right, is it? You hide in the shadows, pretending at making war, pathetic cousins even to your dying kin.”
Drachon: Elvaria “…I was going to take you with me, but instead, I’m going to let you burn with the rest. No insults shall be borne against us!”
Danielle Seamus: “Dark Eldar, indeed.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She starts to retreat with her guard.
Harbinger: mandy blow her up
Mandala Sigyn: “As you wish.” IMMOLATE THE SOUL
Jerrick Kamris: oh wait i can reality quake too
instead of any of the other things
Harbinger: sephs can he get enough of an adjustment to get to Dark Summoning
Irkalla: “The mon’keigh thinks it has learned morality. You are young, yet. Everything is a pretense, a play we act in until Kaos reigns. But till that ending, oh, what a play it will BE, mon’keigh!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): ehhh
sure
Harbinger: do you wanna pick DARK SUMMONING JERRY
Mandala Sigyn: (uh… I thought she was turned around)
Harbinger: yeah ya do
Jerrick Kamris: ugh
i
guess
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Irkalla is the Succubus on the arena with the others
Harbinger: (you’re talking to a different Eldar)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): the Drachon is the one who bought your slaves
And is currentlyu burning alive screaming with her kabal-mates
Harbinger: Elvy
Mandala Sigyn: (ah, right, sorry)
(should I roll?)
Harbinger: haha yolo
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You can
She might actually survive
Harbinger: she’s got to have SOME corruption right
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Oh god yes

Harbinger: the exact number matters for mandy
Rogue Trader GM (GM): ah yes

Mandala Sigyn: and the other kaballite warriors?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): They are even deader
They aren’t as corrupt but have like half her wounds
Mandala Sigyn spits. “I am not impressed.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Winged gibbering creatures burst into existence around the platforms, some of which kill the scourges, the rest of which flies towards the spectators to feast.
Danielle Seamus: “Remember this day, you, if any of you xenos live to survive it. The maw of the predator ever thirsts for your souls. And I am the Dreknung - the Harbinger of your Destruction.”
Drake: “RAAAARHHFSSSSS!”
Mandala Sigyn: (Assuming direct control)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (this hurts you)
Irkalla does not give a fig about her dying kin. Initiative!
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick is standing silently through all this, staring angrily at Dani’s back.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mandala, in the chaos, what do you try and do?

Anyone I’m missing?
Mandala Sigyn: I meant out of the arena proper, but okay.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Oh
Mandala Sigyn goes to secure transportation, and make sure no one else steals it.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): There’s a webway portal Irkalla used to get down, but it’s switched off at the moment.
Harbinger: don’t worry you still have Passion Mandy

Rogue Trader GM (GM): I guess not. JERRICK.

The Succubus dies smiling, her torched corpse collapsing into cinders.

Rogue Trader GM (GM): No fate burning needed!
Por’la Kel’mara: just eldar burning
Danielle Seamus: thank you based no retcons
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Pain tokens: no sense of right and wrong
Literally
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick extinguishes the flame with a wave of his hand, and picks out the crown STC from her ashes.
Mordecai: “You had better not have damaged that.”
Graffletz: “Oh, is she bleedin’ dead already? Pointy eared little gits bleed too easily. The humie up above said I get to kill Barrow now. Where is she?”
Jerrick Kamris: “If time did not do it, nothing I can do will.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Indeed, the stc is safe
Danielle Seamus: “Over there,” Dani says, pointing behind the ork.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You can see it embedded in the crown, a silver disc.
The Ork looks at Danielle. “Really? REALLY? A snotling ain’t fick enough for that. I’m going back up there and getting some bleeding answers before I eat you all.”
He turns around
anyway
Jerrick Kamris: “That’s Barrow in disguise over there,” Jerrick distractedly motions towards the remaining Wych. “I think I even heard her say you weren’t ’ard enough for this arena.”
Kahnak Rith: Time for the surprise instagib

Dani shoots her palm upward toward the ork, while twirling with her elbow.

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Graffletz is pushed off the edge.
Danielle Seamus: Rith and Mordecai get opportunity attacks

Ork: “Oh, for the LUVVA-”
Mordecai: GRAB THE CLAW
Rogue Trader GM (GM): it’s

Mordecai: Then have rith bite his arm off

With a thunk the giant power klaw lands on your platform
as the ork goes spinning down.
Kahnak Rith: “Vengeance enacted. You may keep the claw, giant.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You can see him land, unmoving with a splat, on the battleship.
A lone ork pokes its head out of a nearby hatch on the arena, even at this vast distance obviously yawning, poking it with its foot.
Mandala Sigyn messages the crew. “You guys ready to get out of here? Things are getting nasty out here.”
Kahnak Rith: oh
god
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mandala, do you have a microbead?
Mandala Sigyn: yeah
Danielle Seamus: jerry just mindlink us

Rogue Trader GM (GM): That’s not why I asked but okay!
(From Mandala Sigyn): “Who is this?”
Jerrick Kamris: yes i figured
but WE don’t have microbeads
probably
(To Mandala Sigyn): “Lady Sun Lee, First of Her Name. And a smelly old man named ‘Jake’. I have him sitting outside the cockpit. Commoners, am I right?”
(To Mandala Sigyn): “I have obtained the ship your Inquisitor won’t stop babbling about.”
(From Mandala Sigyn): “Thank you. I will be there shortly, but first I need to extract my team.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Arlight, you’re all stuck on the three platforms.
Mandala Sigyn goes to try getting the webway gate open.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): What do you do?

Kahnak Rith: “Everyone on.”
Kahnak Rith hups onto the drake to steer it out.
Jerrick Kamris: hup
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You find them all
Por’la Kel’mara: huuup
Mordecai is going to get the STC from Jerry.
Jerrick Kamris: jerry will hand it over
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mordecai, it’s clearly a real STC
Mordecai: “It is proper.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It even has the sacred phrase written on it: the letters that stand for Deus Vennidas Dorminus, Reffia Wrineus
Danielle Seamus: the sacred DVD
Jerrick Kamris: this is clearly ancient technology that must be preserved
Rogue Trader GM (GM): everytime the mechanicum needs to write something new
they have to get a new dataslate
this is REVOLUTIONARY!!!
You all end up in the midst of a Daemon incursion.
Por’la Kel’mara: holy shit how many dataslates have i GONE througg
Danielle Seamus: “Haha, oh right.”
Por’la Kel’mara: “Yeeeeeaah.”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick just glares at Dani.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Danielle’s friends is devouring Eldar faces with her hands, though the Eldar are starting to launch a counter-attack with reinforcements coming in.
Barrow has taken a slave
Jerrick Kamris: am i still here
Rogue Trader GM (GM): huh
you’re not on the LIST
but okay
Barrow mentions Sun Lee is talking on microbead with her and asking if she can kill her yet or whatever
Danielle Seamus: “NO Barrow that’s our profit”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): What do you all do now?
Jerrick Kamris: let’s cheese it
Danielle Seamus: on a scale of 1 to 10 how amenable is jerry to summoning more daemons to help our daemonfriendz
Por’la Kel’mara: we should g-t-f-o
0_0
Jerrick Kamris: can i throw you at them
instead
Por’la Kel’mara: >____>
Mandala Sigyn: “Let’s go people! Escape the daemons now, or forever lose your soul!”
Danielle Seamus: so is that a 9
Jerrick Kamris: “no”
Por’la Kel’mara: “Point a direction, I’m going!”
Danielle Seamus: If there’s any vehicles we can hijack to get there faster
I’ll do that
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mandala, Lee tells you it’s the third portal on the left that leads to the ship. No, wait, it’s the second, the third leads back to the slave pens. DEFINITELY the second.
There’s only a bunch of webway portals!
Danielle Seamus: “…we should perhaps link up with Iron Jake so we can get a second opinion.”
Jerrick Kamris: is jake in range for a mind link
Mandala Sigyn: “Can you get Jake in to confirm?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He is, Jerrick.
Jerrick Kamris: ok
gonna add him then
Rogue Trader GM (GM): ~Oh god-emperor STOP DOING THIS TO ME MIND.~
Jerrick Kamris: ~It’s the most reliable way to reach you. I’ll stop doing this when you tell us how to get out of here.~
I’ll send him an image of where we are roughly
Rogue Trader GM (GM): ~Oh, no, you want the one right behind you. Don’t listen to HER. She hasn’t gabbing nonsense fer HOURS.~
|*stopped
Danielle Seamus: ~Is the package *secured* regardless, Acolyte?~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): ~ I WASN’T THINKING ABOUT ANYONE’S PACKAGE~
~Oh you mean- yeah, she’s on the ship.~
~We got a raider. It was full of Orks. It isn’t full of Orks now.~
Mandala Sigyn: ~Did you remember to scour the ship with fire to purge the spores?~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): ~It’s been TWO HOURS, we can do that LATER, let’s just get out of here before they notice the ship’s missing. I would’ve thought they’d have done it NOW, but apparently someone started summoning daemons in the area you’re in. Whoever that someone could possibly be.~
~HOW ARE YOU NOT DEAD.~
Danielle Seamus: “Everybody’s a critic.”
Mandala Sigyn: ~The Emperor Protects. Now let’s move!~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): the webway he pointed to does indeed lead you to the ship. It looked like an old imperial raider, of indeterminate class before the Orks got their hands on it. It’s covered in graffiti and open panelling.
Jake is on what is presumably the bridge, or possibly the site of a bar fight, with a map of webway tunnels sprawled over a knocked over tbale. Lee is in the pilot’s seat, or at least in front of a seat where someone’s attached an automobile wheel.
Jake salutes Danielle. well his hand definitely reaches his head, anyway. “I can’t believe we’re all alive nice job boss portal open to the materium CAN WE GO NOW.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Yes, let’s.”
Danielle Seamus: “I *guess*.” Harbinger trots up to the pilot seat. “Step aside, rookie. Or, y’know, no need.”
*plop*
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She gets
out of the way sharpish
63
Lee: “UGH.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): True to Jake’s words, a bunch of portals are open to the materium.
Danielle Seamus: “Oh, now don’t make that face. Can’t be having my golden goose die before laying a single egg, right?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Which one is the one to the Damocles Gulf would be trickier if half of you didn’t have total recall.
Shino G.: aa
Danielle Seamus: “Sigyn, Kamris… I propose we do something gutsy.”
Por’la Kel’mara: thank goodness
Mandala Sigyn: “What’s that?”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick continues to glare at Dani.
Por’la Kel’mara: “More gutsy than… well…”
Danielle Seamus: “Depending on the perspective, yes.”
Mordecai: “A shame the nova cannon is out of commission.”
Danielle Seamus: “We need psyniscience. Do any of these webway portals correspond to this stellar phenomena?”
Danielle Seamus plots a very familiar-looking system.
(From Danielle Seamus): It’s Sol.
Mandala Sigyn: “What is that?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Hellish psyniscience check, -30 if you have forbidden lore xenos at +10 or higher
It looks pretty familiar!
Jerrick Kamris: does having +20 to all lore tests count
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Suuuuure
Danielle Seamus: “Dracul gloated that we wouldn’t be able to get to Mars in time.”
Jerrick Kamris: excellent
Danielle Seamus raises an eyebrow. “I beg to differ.”
Jerrick Kamris: “You can’t be thinking of showing up there in THIS.”

“Stopping Dracul is worth even this risk.”
Mandala Sigyn: “You want us to go to TERRA?!”
Danielle Seamus: “We were goin there ANYWAY”
Mordecai: “I agree with this plan. We must go to holy Mars with as much haste as possible, despite the risks.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mandala, Jerrick, you both agree a small, insignificant barely raider-sized portal to the south-west is giving off good vibes.
Danielle Seamus: good vibes
Mordecai: let’s stop there and groove
Jerrick Kamris: can i send off a message to the sojourn before we go in
to tell them to meet us there
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You can’t really
As you’re outside normal space
Jerrick Kamris: oh
Rogue Trader GM (GM): eh
Danielle Seamus: Can we go through the portal to Penance
Rogue Trader GM (GM): go on
Danielle Seamus: fire off the message
and then swoop back in

Kahnak Rith: “This should be interesting.”
Danielle Seamus: “We’ll have to survive long enough against Luna’s point-defenses until I can leverage my Inquisitorial authority.”
“…we should probably man battle-stations.”
Mandala Sigyn: Well, Mandala and barrow have their stuff
Mordecai: omnissiah damnit i’m not gonna have my dragon scale on MARS
Rogue Trader GM (GM): are you
going

Danielle Seamus: “Just a slight detour, loves!” Dani says, nuzzling up to Lee and Jake.
Jake: “What kind of Sister WERE you?!”
Jerrick Kamris: “A bad one.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Repentia.”
Lee: “I CONCUR WITH THE WITCH.”
Mandala Sigyn: (that was public knowledge, right?)
Danielle Seamus: (yeah)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It might not be but it was pretty OBVIOUS!
Jerrick Kamris: “She seems to be the model inquisitor, though, from my experience.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Oh fair
Punch it when ready
Mandala Sigyn: “You have control, Harbinger. Take us through.”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick has not stopped glaring at Dani through all of this.

Por’la Kel’mara laments his gear sitting on the sojourn
You are confronted on the other side by a small planetoid, circling a gas giant with the most beautiful rings. Your float in space in silence for barely a second where the largest Imperial fleet you’ve ever scene starts to warp in, top of the line vessels either barely 1000 years old or tens of thousands. “RAIDER, YOU STAND IN THE SHADOW OF THE THRONE OF THE EMPEROR OF MAN-KIND, GOD OF ALL HUMANITY.” Without any warning your vox booms, orkoid technology apparently not understanding requiring permission for incoming transmissions. “IDENTIFY YOURSELVES SO THAT OUR INEVITABLE VICTORY OF YOU MAY BE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF BATTLEFLEET SOLAR. AVE IMPERATOR!”

NEVERMIND
shiiino
Mordecai: oh im here
Rogue Trader GM (GM): oh excellent
As the old man leaves, five groups remain: Jerrick and his merry band of ‘slaves; the orks, the runt surrounding by strange lights that it irritably tries to pluck out of the sky; the kroot, with their ghost-like leader, laughing in their heathen tongue at Danielle’s failure; the poor remnants of Alexandria Barrow; and the Tau Fire Warrior and his astartes companion, limbs bound.
Eldar: “[Gothic][ Who wishes to enter the portal next? Perhaps you will end up near a weapon cache. Or perhaps it will place you above a pit of spikes. Isn’t it EXCITING?”
MissBarrow: … The poor remnants of Alexandria Barrow?
Mordecai: oh capn my capn
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (oh did you miss that part)
Harbinger: there is a log
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (: D)

The orks stir towards the portal. What do you do?
Jerrick Kamris: well first thing’s first

Kahnak Rith: it’s all up to jake
Jake: ~What the fethin’ feth?!~
Jerrick Kamris: he’s in the best position to help out lee anyway
~Yes a lot has happened over the night. Be sure to let the captain know.~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): ?as Jake ~Good luck with that. Barrow and the annoying mutant gel’s bloody been taken off this part of the city. Something about the arena being too dangerous to keep close to the city, but they needed to have a ‘close view’.~
Jake: ~Barely managed to escape that nonsense with an excuse about seeing a man about a squig.~
Jerrick Kamris: ~Well, do what you can to save Sun Lee, at the least, and inform Barrow and the navigator of everything I’ve told you when you have a chance.~
Jake: ~I’ll try. Think I already figured out where she’s gone to ground- bloody eldar don’t think like a human, even a posh one.~
Jerrick Kamris: ~Breaking contact now, I’ll try to keep you updated if I can.~

So are you going to cut off the orks or let them go first?
Jerrick Kamris: hmm
Kahnak Rith: Hm
Jerrick Kamris: well i suppose it doesn’t actually matter *when* we go in
since we have no idea where we’ll end up anyway
Rogue Trader GM (GM): you haven’t even tried asking!!!!
Jerrick Kamris: i didn’t think they were open to answering questions
Kahnak Rith: “Step aside, Greenskins. I will waste no more time, a hunter needs no aid.”
Jerry could subtley ask for some maps tho
Jerrick Kamris: i COULD
“Hey,” Jerrick approaches one of the guards. “What’s a guy gotta do to get a map, anyway?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Subtle
Mordecai: the subtlest
Jerrick Kamris: : D
Rogue Trader GM (GM): A guard backhands you. “{Gothic] Filthy mon’keigh, do not pollute my air with your presence!” He knocks you to the ground near his dead fellows.
Mordecai: “Maps would serve well, I could set up some gruesome traps if I knew the land.” Mordy maintains his distance, glaring at Rith as she approaches the gate.
Jerrick Kamris:

Rogue Trader GM (GM): He wrenches you back to your feet. “If you’re so eager to die, take the next portal, mon’keigh. Your life will be over so much faster.”
*the eldar guard
Jerrick Kamris: “Hmph,” Jerrick grunts, shaking the guard off as he steps away. “Perhaps.” ~I need a distraction,~ he thinks to Rith and Kel. ~Just a moment.~

Rogue Trader GM (GM): The orks walk towards the portla.
Kahnak Rith: “I said to STEP ASIDE!”
Rith is gonna
Charge the ork closest to the portal
If there’s anything between then, she’ll KROOT LEAP over it and barrel through the air at it beak first.

Jerrick Kamris: ~I trust you know what to do with this, Battle Brother. Fight well.~

MEANWHILE
MissBarrow.
After a horrible night’s sleep you and Mandala Sigyn have been taken by ship to another part of the giant city of Commorragh- a bunch of linked grav platforms over looking a planetoid floating in the webway. The background of this Eldar pocket universe is a kaleidoscope of colours, but all the Eldar eyes (and the eyes of the Ork Warboss you saw in the party) are focused on a modified Necron starship.
The ship has had its outer hull stripped away, giving a view into the ship’s rooms itself, with some handy crystals standing in spiky plinths projecting magnifications of the poor souls trapped inside.
Elvaria: “Look,” the eldar Dracon whispers to you, hand lightly squeezing your shoulder. “The bloodshed is going to begin soon, mon’keigh! Isn’t this so. Excisting?!”
Kahnak Rith: joak’s on her, barrow probably doesn’t know what existentialism IS
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright I guess
we’re switching back
unless DANIELLE is back
Kahnak Rith: capn y
Jerrick Kamris: oh captain my captain
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Doesn’t look like it.
Kahnak Rith: Looks like it’s up to Team Kahnakel’morderry
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick, Rith, Mordecai, you fall down into… what looks like a maze of corpses.
Mordecai: Just like home
Xenos of every kind surround you, impaled on sticks, forming a maze in what looks like a holding bay of the ancient xenos vessel. Some of the bodies are spasming, but their lifeless eyes suggest their movement is not of their own volition.
In front of you, you can make up a necron pyramid with four Eldar mannequins on top, each equipped with a different weapon. Behind, you can just see over the corpses a large arrow pointing down painted on the far wall.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): What do you do?
Kahnak Rith: “You will need to pull extra weight for that, Kamris.” Rith groans, while remaining concealed.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): oh right whoops
To your left, you can see the wall has been removed- you can see vibrant dancing colours beyond
Rogue Trader GM (GM): *far
Jerrick Kamris: “I’m sure it was within your pay grade, xenos. It will be worth the trouble.”
Kahnak Rith: “And see if you can think of any crazy warp things similar to what the forbidden kindred’s shaper did. We will be dealing with him, without doubt.”
Jerrick Kamris: “Well, let’s see what our hosts have for us here, anyway.” Heading to the pyramid~

yeah 3 then
1 dos on roll, 1 unnat int, 1 help
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You manage to lead your way through the maze. As you pass certain branches, you can hear the sounds of growling and machinery, but nothing happens to you all until you find yourselves in front of the pyramid.
The four mannequins are at the top. Each step is slightly shorter than Kel’mara. What do you do?
Kahnak Rith: “I will see if it is safe to approach.”
Jerrick Kamris: all aboard the morde express?
Kahnak Rith: I’m gonna do a SEARCH check for the traps that are probably gonna kill us
On the way up

Jerrick Kamris: oh
Kahnak Rith: “Made for something to come down.”
yeah we couldn’t sense him in the slave pens
Jerrick Kamris: well he probably had a collar like me
Rogue Trader GM (GM): What do you do?
Jerrick Kamris: “Would it be possible to climb up?”
Mordecai: “They are not impassibly high. Even my shamefully dull senses can see.”
“Climb on.” Mordy will raise his arms to either side.

Rogue Trader GM (GM): You find yourself in a cage.The room is full of other cages, but it’s extremely dark.
Captain N. Barrow: SORRY
I didn’t think I’d be paged for awhile
Since Mandy isn’t here.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): I’ll switch to you after Daniventures
Danielle Seamus: “-GOLDEN THRONE? RRRRRARGH”
Voice: “[High Gothic] Well. What is its purpose? Why does it scream so?”

Voice: “Interessssting. The Haemonculi outdid themselves. What manner of creature did they use to make you?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): A woman sits in a cage surrounded by arcane sigils and what looks like the machinery from Jerrick’s collar.
She has no face.
Danielle Seamus: “ThE DeAtHs oF a BILLION sOuLs.”
Faceless One: “And a poet, too!”!

Fatigue is cleared.

Danielle Seamus: Any lore to identify this enigmatic creature?

ding
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You’ve heard of a creature with no face and mouths on her hands who is summoned by heretics to play a game. Winning, and losing, is not important; if they enjoy the game, they die. If they win, they gain a boon. At least, according to the survivors, who were all interrogated ane executed by the Ordos Malleus.
Captain N. Barrow: Dangit Imperium
In Barrow’s Imperium there will be only apples.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It’s
a daemon
Harbinger: it turned out the lore was HERESY
Faceless One: “I shall give you my name in trade, if you like. Can you understand me, berserker?”
Danielle Seamus: “I am Harbinger,” Danielle answers evenly. “The Harbinger of this realm’s destruction.”
Faceless One: “Ah, then a boon in future I grant to thee, Harbinger. Just call my name; Y̳̦͈͖͍ͅų͉̪̱̬̣̝̝i͕̝̟r̴̰̘͈a̦͔̲͍. And I shall appear. I fear, for now, my time in this world is fleeting; it is too close to the hated materium. I would so wish to watch the end of this game…”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Are you still immune
to corruption
JUST ASKING
Danielle Seamus: It depends on the source and what’s happening, though I can always spend a fate point to achieve total immunity.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): it’s a daemon
sayings its truename outloud
Danielle Seamus: If this is daemonic presence it doesn’t affect me at all
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
MrInsecure: (sorry I’m here)
Jerrick Kamris: (just in time maybe)
Captain N. Barrow: (Harbinger is about to go SSJ3 and kill Buu)
Danielle Seamus: “I will *remember* that, crawling chaos and damned beast.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You are answered by silence, save for the shuffling of beasts in their cages.
And the sound of footsteps.
(Will switch to Barrow and Mandala SHORTLY)
Danielle Seamus: Time to try a stealth.

woohoo
plus any modifiers, probably some for cover, shadow, etc
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You hide in the shadows as someone walks by.
It’s the woman Jerrick mind-probed; she’s standing tall now, carrying an expertly crafted power sword in her right hand and some sort of eldar weapon in her left, pistol-sized. Her face is staring sightlessly forward, and her lips are repeating the same sound:
“Harbinger. Harbinger. Where is the Harbinger? Where is the Harbinger? Where is the Harbinger?”
Danielle Seamus: “I sure hope Alexandria’s talking about the ship and not me,” Danielle does not say at loud at all.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Assuming you don’t do anything, she passes by; it looks like she’s doing a circuit of the room.
41 ignore this except for karma
Harbinger: (wait possibly change ‘Alexandria’ to ‘she’ as I can’t remember if Jerry told us or is holding more vital secrets back)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick did not say
I don’t think he said ANYTHING about what he saw in her head
Harbinger: thanx jerry
Danielle Seamus: I’m going to shadow her once she moves on.
Jerrick Kamris: nobody asked
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright make the roll
Jerrick Kamris: and i figured it would complicate things

Harbinger: how are we supposed to know to ask about her being the original barrow

Jerrick Kamris: you could have asked “what did you see”
Harbinger: and gain insanity points

Rogue Trader GM (GM): She whirs around. “DRACUL. I can. Hear you. Eldar. Dracul. Traitors to the House of Barrow. Whatever face you WEAR.”
She hasn’t spotted exactly where you are yet, but she’s waving her sword around her.
Danielle Seamus: I’m going to activate The Passion (Tests of Faith), and use my enhance speed to dart by her and lead her on a merry chase.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
As you run past her, she howls with victory and takes after you in a lumbering gait…
MEANWHILE
Mandala Sigyn: (sorry, what’s going on?)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): BARROW
After a horrible night’s sleep you and Mandala Sigyn have been taken by ship to another part of the giant city of Commorragh- a bunch of linked grav platforms over looking a planetoid floating in the webway. The background of this Eldar pocket universe is a kaleidoscope of colours, but all the Eldar eyes (and the eyes of the Ork Warboss you saw in the party) are focused on a modified Necron starship.
The ship has had its outer hull stripped away, giving a view into the ship’s rooms itself, with some handy crystals standing in spiky plinths projecting magnifications of the poor souls trapped inside.
*BARROW and MANDALA
Dracon Elvaria points to one of the crystals. “It appears your slaves have been split up, slave-master. What a pity.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Oh.”
“Those silly billies.”
Mandala Sigyn: “It is no matter,” Mandala says. “They will be rejoined in victory, I assure you.”
Elvaria: “They’d BETTER, Mon’keigh. They need to survive long enough to kill the ork psyker or this entire sortee has been wasted!”
Mandala Sigyn: “…All this over an ork psyker?”
Captain N. Barrow: (Wouldn’t killing the psyker just cause him to spore and make like fifty million of him?)
“Why can’t I just kill him? If I was good at that kind of thing, instead of just being a slave dealer.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She gives you a look, and calms herself by looking at the local entertainment; several slaves being pushed off the grav platforms to their deaths on the planetoid below. “MY slaves- I mean, your slaves, must beat the Hierarch’s little party. His social standing will be RUINED, even if the assassination doesn’t go off as planned.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Oh they’re good at that sort of thing, because I’m good at my thing, and my thing is slave-getting.”
“So they’re gonna be good at this.”
“What’s a good color for a wig?”
Mandala Sigyn: “I see. Well, a few orks should be no problem, even if they do happen to have a psyker on hand.”
Elvaria: “I do hope so, for YOUR sake. I’d hate to be given sub-par slaves. And be in your position when I find out you’ve given me sub-par slaves. Still, it’s only an ork. Even if it is a… ‘warp ’ead’.” She scrunches up her mouth and spits over the side.z “Blzozzzzozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Rogue Trader GM (GM): *”Blood red, dear."
Captain N. Barrow: “Back to red then. See, why can’t you do that, Mandy?”
Mandala Sigyn: “I do not have a problem with baldness, Barrow. In my profession, it is the mark of a relatively pure genome.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): A gaggle of Eldar have surrounded one of the viewing crystals. They’re cheering. “Looks like a fight has broken out. Finally.”
Captain N. Barrow: “…. I’m not bald. I shave it. As a protest against…” she looks at the Eldar. “Hairyness.”
“Oooh a fight.”
“Does it have a giant spiders? I parried one once!”
As Barrow rushes to look a the crystal she mutters “If I was able to parry things.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Barrow, the crystal is showing one of the upper decks. A tau fire warrior, a large astartes warrior and a cloaked old man throwing psyker blasts are fighting in a room with no gravity.
The old man looks like Dracul.
Captain N. Barrow: “Oh hey that’s Uncle- Guyidontknow.”
“I don’t have any uncles I think they’re all dead.”
Mandala Sigyn goes up to the crystal. “Hmm. That’s quite a potent psyker, to go about against a space marine and a tau fire warrior at the same time.”
Elvaria: “You are a very odd mon’keigh.”
Mandala Sigyn: “You’d think they could get a hand on him.”
Captain N. Barrow: “I’m an odd duck.”
“Mandy, what’s a duck?”
Elvaria: “Oh, it looks like he turned on the anti-gravity trap on purpose. Stops the astartes rushing him. Clever. I think he’s going to win, whoever is. Not that it’s going to help him against what’s up above.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Oh? What’s above?… Or do you not want to spoil the surprise?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She hesitates.
Mandala Sigyn: “I believe it is a kind of flower, Barrow.”
Captain N. Barrow: “I -am- a flower.” Barrow bats her eyes.
Elvaria: “Welllllll… oh, you’ll see. You’re right. I shouldn’t spoil it! Let’s just say we didn’t kill EVERYTHING on that ship when we captured it!”
Captain N. Barrow: “I hope it’s a spider.”
“What if it’s Drakky?”
Barrow grabs Mandy’s shoulder. “Oh god-emperor, what if it’s Drakky?”
Mandala Sigyn: “We killed Draklinus, Barrow. Twice.”
Captain N. Barrow: “…Third time’s the charm?”
Elvaria: “Twice? Oh, Haemonculi. Resurrection can be so tiresome.”
Mandala Sigyn: “No, he was just playing around with necrontyr technology.”
Elvaria: “A mon’keigh playing around with technology he doesn’t understand. How…. surprising.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She laughs, and her entourage laughs with her. Very quickly.
Mandala Sigyn: “Well, he did come to understand it eventually. He just became its slave in the process.”
“Incidentally, we’re not too fond of the machine men.”
Elvaria: “Who is? That’s why the Eldar destroyed them all in the War of Heaven. No-one can stand against Eldar superiority, after all. But still, one little shard can’t hurt.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Destroyed them all seems to have different meanings to us.”
Elvaria: “The Necrontyr aren’t the C’Tan. Silly Mon’keigh.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Oh are those the dragony looking things?”

Mandala Sigyn: “…/Please/ tell me you don’t have a C’Tan Shard here.”
Elvaria: “Of course we do. Torturing a GOD… the idea is…” She rolls her eyes to the back of the head. “It’s pure beauty. Kabals from all around have come together to find different ways to break it.”
Mandala Sigyn looks at Barrow for a moment, then back at Elvaria.
Captain N. Barrow: “I have one slave that’s pretty decent at it.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Well, I sincerely hope your security on the thing is top notch. Otherwise, that necron ship isn’t going to be the last one we see today.”
Elvaria: “That’s why we’re here on this little planetoid. It will be detonated if the little dragon gets uppity.” She smirks. “Not that it will. It has taken centuries, but we finally drove it insane.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I cannot foresee that backfiring at all.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Oh hey I’m insane. I should talk with it.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She pats barrow on the head. With her gloved hand. “Adorable.”
Elvaria: “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a side bet on how many of the beasts on the middle decks will kill each other before someone stumbles onto them. Try not to fall off.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Have fun.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You’re left alone with the viewing crystals. What do you do?
Captain N. Barrow: Fall off
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Barrow, you fall to your death.
Mandala Sigyn: I’m going to look through the crystals to see if there’s anything interesting in them.

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mandala, you spot two things:
One is what looks like Danielle being chased by a woman that looks to N Barrow like her predecessor in a room full of cages. A giant misshapen mess of flesh sits in a big cage in the centre of the room, and appears to be gnawing through the bars, getting close to breaking free.
The second is Jerrick, Kel’mara, Mordecai and that Kroot working their way through one of the lower decks, in a maze made of dead bodies. There is an exit in the opposite way to where they’re going, leading to a deck where orks and kroot are moving past traps.
Mandala Sigyn: do they still have their vox beads so I can contact them?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): They do not.
Jerrick has not yet contacted you, either.
Mordecai: internal vox is on the list of things to get

~Wait how does she even *know* who Drac-~
Jerrick Kamris: ~…It.~ Jerrick thinks softly. ~Not she. It. It’s an abomination.~
Captain N. Barrow: ~Drakky got a sex change?~
~Oh no, Mandy you were WRONG.~
Mandala Sigyn: ~No, I believe the woman chasing Danielle is the prior owner of the Harbinger’s Soujorn, aka the actual Barrow."
“This could be a complication.”
Captain N. Barrow: ~-I’m- the actual Barrow.~
~Wait how am I talking with my mind?~
Jerrick Kamris: ~…I’ve linked our minds. And that is NOT Barrow, whatever she appears to be. It’s an abomination, and needs to be destroyed.~
Captain N. Barrow: ~Can I kill it? I’m stuck over here, and supposedly I die if I fall off, so I don’t know how to leave.~
Mandala Sigyn: ~Wait, Barrow. I have a feeling the fight will come to us soon enough.~
Captain N. Barrow: Barrow probably isn’t wearing her armor is she?
Dangit
Harbinger: there’s no proscribing of any attire that I’m aware of
for you two
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Indeed.
Mandala Sigyn: You can have your armor if you want.
It’s only the slaves that have to be disarmed.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You’re mon’keighs.
The Eldar have trouble seeing you as a threat.
Captain N. Barrow: Even
With the Eldar blood on it?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Even THEN
Harbinger: what in this darn city ISN’T covered in Eldar blood
Mandala Sigyn: yeah, you can probably order a glass at the bar
with a twist of lemon
Harbinger: what team are we on
who are we waiting for
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You done talking?
sorry wasn’t sure
While this conversation has been going on, Jerrick, you could easily follow Mandala’s directions through the maze and down through a lift.
Jerrick Kamris: ya
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The walls are covered with paintings of eldar debauchery.
One shows the burning of an Astartes fortress monastery with the Emperor’s statues defiled by acid.

Rogue Trader GM (GM): You reach the fork Mandala predicted- a room with a central, half-broken statue of a nercon overlord, two archways leading further into the ship.
White Scars
Jerrick Kamris: ~Alright, which do we want to deal with? Orks or Kroot?~
Mandala Sigyn: ~I Can tell you that your new ‘owner’ really wants to see those orks dead, especially the psyker. So if you want to do that, it’d be swell.~
Kahnak Rith: “We will have to deal with the kroot regardless, so it may be wise to bring the fight to them before they have a chance to take us unaware. Though dealing with their Shaper will be difficult.”
Jerrick Kamris: ~Hmm. I wonder if we could get them to fight each other somehow?~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The orks and kroot path does join up eventually
Kahnak Rith: ~The Shaper is after my head, we could attempt to lure them to the greenskins. Greenskins will need no motivating."
Mandala Sigyn: ~Bait them into fight each other. Rith, you may need to do that yourself, but I suspect you can pull it off.~
Kahnak Rith: ~He also likely has a strong hatred of the Tau~ Glance to Kelly.
~I suppose I am the best to disappear when the two meet.~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Kelly swoons.
Kahnak Rith: time to metal gear
Jerrick Kamris: ~Let us know if you run into trouble.~
Kahnak Rith: god kroot are the one thing that can almost certainly see through my concealment
~I will remain in contact~

Rogue Trader GM (GM): I

Kahnak Rith: not concealed at ALL
Jerrick Kamris: almost
certainly
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick, Rith is very noticable
She is very bad at this.
Jerrick Kamris: ~…Even -I- can see you, and I have no eyes. Are you sure you’ll be alright?~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (fate?!)
Kahnak Rith: ugh
uggggh

Tormak: (well done also hi sorry im late)
Kahnak Rith: ~I am becoming too reliant on your kind’s technology, it takes some time to adjust.~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
Rith, heading towards where Mandala said the Kroot are?
Kahnak Rith: Yes
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Rith, you enter a walkway above what looks like to be red-hot glowing stone. A kroot has fallen down there, and its plaintive wails help mask your footsteps. Lightning arcs from pylons placed on the walls, which the kroot are trying to dodge; save their leader, Hrrithck, who walks through them as if they were not even there.

68
Kahnak Rith: uh oh
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The general kroot do not spot you
Kahnak Rith: whew
Rogue Trader GM (GM): But Hrrithck turns around and lets out a caw.
Hrrithck: “A lost Kahnak egg, wandering into our cooking pot.”
Hrritchik: “I respect your courage, Shaper, if not your intelligence. It is a pity you are a traitor.”
Kahnak Rith: “You are the one who has gone against the wishes of our kind, you are the traitor, your words means nothing.” Rith looks around. “And cooking sullies meat, I would not let my flesh fall to that fate.”
Hrrithck: He lets out the laugh of your kind, a screeching wail. “We would serve you to the Eldar, Rith; those who side with the Tau are fit for nothing more. Kill her.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Kroot move towards you. What do you do?
Kahnak Rith: Is the way to the Orks on the opposite side
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Either way would work.
The paths join at either end.
Of course, you KNOW the path back.
Kahnak Rith: Also it isn’t through a bunch of horrible lightning
Rogue Trader GM (GM): glorious lightning
Jerrick Kamris: glorious, glorious lightning
Kahnak Rith: “Let’s see what kind of hunters your kindred are.”
BOOK IT
Sprint running back the way I came
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 59
hmm
Nah
Hrritchk shouts for his hunters to run after you.
But only half of them.
three kroot attempt to catch up with you
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Strength check, 2 dos if you use sprint and gain a fatigue)
Kahnak Rith:
rolling 1d100 v 42 ugh i already HAVE a fatigue so why not
(

=

4 dos
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 245
None of them can catch up with you, though they keep up enough to follow you around the corner as you end up back at the path split
…What are Mordecai and co doing
Kahnak Rith: ~Hide yourselves…no, get out of there, that will be better.~
Mordecai: Mordymobile awayyyyyy
Back to somewhere out of sight from the path
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
Kahnak Rith will slow down enough so they know where to follow her.
Kahnak Rith: and book it toward the orkland
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Rith, you enter a room with blue and green pylons. Intermittently crackling fields activate between them, switching between blue and green.
Several Orks are arguing about who gets to try and stick their head in one as they activate, while the psyker pets a collection of slug-like animals made almost entirely of teeth.
Kahnak Rith: I’m gonna
shoot an ork

Danielle Seamus: ’e’s ‘ard

Rogue Trader GM (GM): ’e’s fine.
Well he’s half-burnt
but otherwise fine
45 HE TRIES TO SPOT YOU
Kahnak Rith: He’s got a sliver in him
Rogue Trader GM (GM): and instead spots the kroot running behind you.
Orks: “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!”
Kahnak Rith: Oh god the weirdboy
Bookin’ it first chance I get
Psyker: The runty ork, barely bigger than Rith, stands up wit ha grin. “OH ZOG IT CAN I CAN I CAN I I’M ZOGGIN’ DOING IT.”
Kahnak Rith: aaaaaaa
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 37 POWA BUST ABILITY
All orks get +4 to melee damage.
And re-rolls.
The dancing lights around his head REALLY light up.
And there are enough orks and squigs for… yep
15 PERILS OF DA WAAAAGH
Rogue Trader GM (GM): +10 for each ork iirc
So 65
The psyker clutches his head. “IF I STICK A FING IN A BEAKIE MEK I CAN MAKE A ROCKET TO THE MOOON!”
My bad, it’s plus 25, not +50
The psyker then falls asleep.
Psyker: “Zzzzzzzzzzz…”
orks: “WAAAA- oh zog.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The awake orks and kroot start fighting it out. Rith, what are you doing?
Kahnak Rith: Book it back the way I came
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright.
Kahnak Rith: See ya later krootorklords
~Three kroot engaging the ork group. Three kroot and the shaper remain on the other path, he will not be easily tricked, it seems.~
Jerrick Kamris: ~Perhaps we should deal with him now, while the others are fighting the orks.~
Kahnak Rith: ~Agreed. The corridor he is in contains many traps, lightning I saw. He said it was akin to an oven. Be ready.~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright.
Kahnak Rith: ~And if you can think of anything on how to hit a ghost, that would be helpful. The traps were doing nothing to the Shaper, I doubt normal weaponry will have much effect."

Jerrick Kamris:
rolling 1d100 vs 95 can warp lore help me out with this intangible business
(

or is it some other lore
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick, your attacks WILLl effect him
He also can’t effect your or Rith until he’s physical.
Kahnak Rith: whew that’s no longer metaknowledge
Jerrick Kamris: ~I will be able to deal with him. He won’t be able to harm us, however, until he physically manifests.~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Heading in?
Kahnak Rith: ~I will be ready to strike when he does, if you fail.~
unless anyone objects
Jerrick Kamris: hup
Kahnak Rith: hup
Mordecai: wub

Rogue Trader GM (GM): ROLLCALL for
Barrow and Mandala I guess
Mandala Sigyn: yo
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Well we’ll see if Dauros comes back
Captain N. Barrow: HEREISH
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Excellent
Hierarch Zanian is standing behind you both along with his entourage of kabalite warriors. “Your SLAVES appear to have killed my orks. Maddening.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Perhaps next time,” Mandala says, turning around with a smirk, “you will find a better class of ork.”
“Or, perhaps, something with some class at all.”
Hieaarch: “Class? This is the arena. So it goes, in a spout of blood. As does your chance at obtaining our dear Succubi’s necklace.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Oh? Do you intend to sabotage my slaves, and go against our arrangement?”
Hierarch: “YOU have sabotaged MY standing.”
Captain N. Barrow: “It looked plenty fair to me.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Indeed. If you did not want them to die, you should not have put them in the ring.”
Hierarch: “Who CARES if they died?! They were supposed to die with MUCH more blood!”
Captain N. Barrow: “I didn’t think they died all bloody-like anyhow.”
“Aren’t they dusty?”
Hierarch: “One of them isn’t even dead. It’s ASLEEP.”
Harbinger: I love that ork
Hierarch: “The deal is off. This is a personal insult. Take your necklace off her neck yourself, mon’keigh, if you have the guts to fight her.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I have fought worse, if you ca believe it.”
*can
Hierarch: “I can’t.” He flashes another smile.
Mandala Sigyn: “Then with my works, I will show you miracles. But that is later.”
Jerrick Kamris: can we just kill them all yet
Mandala Sigyn: (if I unleashed my Immolate the Soul right now, they’d probably all be dead0
*)
Captain N. Barrow: Including Barrow
Harbinger: (maybe just Barrow, they’ve got that stupid Eldargility going for them)
Mordecai: yeah and they’re all stupid high level
Mandala Sigyn: (and I have Cleanse and Purify)
Harbinger: (they can hyperdodge to ignore C&P, and thus the -20 penalty entirely)
(plus they’re usually rocking Agi 70ish)
Mandala Sigyn: (jeez)
Captain N. Barrow: I can swordfite them though
Harbinger: (we can still do this! just be CAREFUL)
(burn them while Barrow has them distracted

)
Jerrick Kamris: just have barrow parry the fire
np
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Hierarch leaves you both with a sniff, leaving you alone.
Captain N. Barrow: “They’re rather in-and-out.”
“This feels like a sitcom.”
Kaptin: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY ZOGGING LOST?!” The Ork Kaptin starts backhanding slaves a little ways away from you.
Captain N. Barrow: “Hey be nicer to them.”
“They don’t have a choice.”
Mandala Sigyn moves closer to the Kaptin. “I see you are displeased with the results of the prior match.”
Kaptin: “Dey let humies up here as well? They must be mental, hur hur. Too right I am. I’m down a million slaves because the bloody oddboy couldn’t stay awake or anyfing for more than a minute. Why do you care? Looking for a fight?”
Captain N. Barrow: “Oh god-emperor yes please.”
“Wait I’m not supposed to.”
“I would though.”
Barrow huffily sulks.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Kaptin rotates his ‘hand’, a giant power claw. “Don’t get an ork’s waaaaaagh up if yer not going to fight him. It’s been HOURS since I hadda scrap.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Ugh I know, this place is so boring.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I’m afraid we’re not here to fight, currently, though that can change depending on what you’re willing to wager.”
Captain N. Barrow: “I thought the pirates LIKED swordfighting.”
Kaptin: “Just ‘erd a runt o’ mine got stomped by dis ‘barrow’ person. Gork, if I could get my claws on her… Wager? What, a bet?” He reveals a mouth full of four rows of teeth. “I’ve got all the teef you need for a bet, humie.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Barrow -is- pretty amazing.”
“More than some dusty old ork at least.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Ork rests his claw on your shoulder. “Oh?”
Mandala Sigyn: “Unfortunately, I have as many ‘teef’ as I want, but how about this? You get a shot at Barrow, and in exchange… well, I’ve got a bit of treasure I have my eye on that I’d like.”
Captain N. Barrow: “I wouldn’t,” Barrow says, her tone helpful.
Kaptin: “A shot at the famous Barrow? Perfec’. Gimme that, and I’ll give ya the loot. Krumpin’ Barrow will bring every Ork in tha’ sect… segm… space to my Waaaagh! Slaves or no bloody slaves.”
Captain N. Barrow: Can I cut his hand off
Mandala Sigyn: “Alright. The eldar called the Succubus wears a… shiny thing on her head. I want it. Get it for me, you get to fight Barrow.”
Captain N. Barrow: Dangit Mandy
Kaptin: “That’s easy. She’d gonna fight whoever wins in the cron ship. I’ll jump into the ring and krump her.”
“Orks is made for fighting and winning. You got a deal, humie.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): MEANWHILE
oh dang it kel

Jerrick Kamris: but what if im needed
Mordecai: what are warp whispers
fear what
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Warp Whispers:The voices of daemons fill the air within 4d10 metres of the psyker, whispering terrible secrets and shocking truths. Everyone in the area (including the psyker ) must make a Hard (–20)Willpower Testor suffer 1d5 Corruption Points and an equal amount of Willpower damage. In addition, whether or not the psyker passes the Willpower Test, he suffers an additional 1d55 Willpower damage.

Danielle Seamus: pulse carbines usually have underslung grenade launchers
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Hrrithck has a picture of his clutchmate.
They do indeed.
Jerrick Kamris: isn’t he a pile of smoldering ash by now

so they don’t zap us
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The next room leads to a lift. You can see a dead kroot that tried to drag itself to the lift from the ork’s chosen path
Por’la Kel’mara: Kel accepts the carbine gratefully thank goodness
Jerrick Kamris: time to head to the ~next level~
Kahnak Rith: Rith will look at the picture while moving on.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The lift rises up for quite some time, the lights fading until you arrive in a room of utter darkness.
All you can hear is the sound of running feet

Rith you can see Alexandria Barrow staring at you in a room full of cages.
Danielle Seamus springs into another catlike position, eying her pursuer warily.
Kahnak Rith: “It is the strange xenos that hates Kamris.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Some sort of flesh-wrought drake sits in a giant cage in the middle, perilously close to breaking out
Alexandria: “Kaaaaamris.”
Por’la Kel’mara: “Oh dear.”
Kahnak Rith: “Yes, Kamris.”
“And we will have another problem soon. We should find Danielle quickly.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Meanwhile above, Kaptin Graffletz cheers as his weirdboy finally wakes up, and cries in dismay as the ork heads in the wrong direction)
YOU HEAR THIS DANI
Danielle Seamus: “!” Harbinger casts a hand toward the sound of her presumed allies.
Jerrick Kamris: “…I was wondering when we’d run into her.”
Danielle Seamus: Faith floods into all of you.
Kahnak Rith: “You know what we are dealing with on this one, Kamris. I’ll follow your lead.”
Danielle Seamus: awful, awful faith
Jerrick Kamris: praise the emprah
Kahnak Rith levels her splinter rifle at Alexy
Kahnak Rith: its horrible

The slaves meet their competitors, Danielle makes lady friends

MissBarrow: Barrow da bess
Captain N. Barrow: Barrow da bess

Mandala Sigyn: indeed
Kahnak Rith: i love barrow and barrow culture
Tormak: same
Down in the depths of one of the many ziggurats in Commoragh, the ’slaves’’ blindfolds are removed. You’re all standing in a large square room, walls glowing with a purple energy field that incidentally provides all the light for the room. The ceiling is black, and the ground… the ground is completely translucent, revealing an indoor reservoir of blood far below you.
Rogue Trader GM (GM):
The room itself has few exits- including the one you just came through, stairs guarded by the Eldar who call themselves ‘Kabalites’, a dozen of them along with some sort of mutant creature covered in bandages. They shove you forward towards the room’s other occupants- slaves, mostly, each looking at you with eyes devoid of anything approaching humanity. They mutter to themselves in pockets, trying to steer clear of you all, and the ‘special’ combatants interspersed around the room.
Rogue Trader GM (GM):
For example, the Orks, bigger examples of their kind than you’ve ever seen save for a runt who keeps cluthing his head. A woman, covered in stitches, without hair but with a mask covering her faces, her skin an odd colour of green. She keeps staring at you. An old tau man in rags, kneeling on the floor in meditation. Kroot, unchained, heads held up high and armed, checking their weapons. Only their leader lacks weapons, a tall xenos wispy thin. And an Astartes warrior, naked save for a loincloth, chained to some sort of active torture device shooting currents of electricity through his arms.
Rogue Trader GM (GM):
The only other avenue of escape is a hole in the wall, leading down to a chute- as you watch Eldar warriors drag bleeding and crying slaves from up above to it, throwing them in. They re-appear below you in a hole above the reservoir, those still fit to move thrashing in the pool of blood before their strength fails them as they drown.
Rogue Trader GM (GM):
Meanwhile, up above, Mandala, Jake and Barrow have arrived at a party. Eldar elite are crowded around an arena, one with pits of spikes and glowing purple walls your guide, the Dracon, describes as ‘delightful pain fields’. The Eldar are dressed in a variety of styles- clothes that would not look out of place in some of the more decadent worlds in the Imperium on many, some girded for war, some wearing very little at all, especially the xenos carrying wicked looking blades. They shout orders at slaves, pathetic looking creatures, sometimes maiming them to the apparent delight of the Eldar nobles who smile appreciately at the screaming slaves.
Rogue Trader GM (GM):
Apart from your guide, and a male Eldar with a crowd of admirers who nods at you all as you enter (and favours the Dracon with a frosty smile) they ignore you. You’re not alone in your invisibility- they pointedly do not look at a giant Ork the size of an Astartes Dreadnaught, a creature wearing a crude approximation of an Imperial Navy’s admiral uniform, a pirate’s hat carved out of bone its head, one of its legs replaced by a peg-shaped augmentation. Some of the Eldar’s brethren are performing a play against a wall, the troupe of actors playing several stories at once,. One troupe memberstands apart dressed like a nightmare’s clown in the shadows, the only current audience for the play as the other Eldar seem much more entertained pushing random slaves into the pit to fight.
Rogue Trader GM (GM):
Dracon Ervalia smiles back at the Eldar. “Do you see that pathetic excuse for a man? Of course you do. Hierarch Zanian. Your slaves are going to help me kill him tonight. Won’t THAT be exciting? Now, go and mingle. But don’t upset anyone by standing too close to them while being a mon’keigh or something of that nature. You’ll be thrown down to fight with your own slaves. Have fun!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM):
GAME START
Kahnak Rith: aaaa
Harbinger: WHOA GM quit trying to make me read
Tormak: much read, wow, such descriptive text
Jerrick Kamris: did they take my collar off too
Danielle Seamus: “Stay close to me,” Harbinger admonishes her allies, particularly Lady Sun Lee. “Let’s see what we’ve gotten ourselves into.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): No, Jerrick, though you find your sight has return.
*Returned
Jerrick Kamris: oh
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You can do very little else though- a slight shove is all you can really manage.
Jerrick Kamris: welp
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Alright starting with the slaves, I guess!)
Danielle Seamus: “Your powers still impeded, Kamris?”
Mandala Sigyn: (I’ll keep quiet for now)
Jerrick Kamris: “This should prove… Interesting,” Jerrick says, looking around. “Quite. I don’t think I’ll be able to use them reliably for this.”
“Though I can at least see.”
Mordecai:“I will refrain from trying to see how this works.” Mordecai watches the walls.
Danielle Seamus: “Then you’re on tactics and analysis. Any idea what that creature in bandages is?”
“And Seneschal, see if you can get that Tau to join us.”
Lee: “What the priest says.”

Mordecai:“Indeed.”
Por’la Kel’mara :((I think it’s about the unknown xenos like the woman with green skin and such, to discover info))
Danielle Seamus: “…your reverence for the Mechanicus is duly noted.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Kel, you recognise the creature as an Eldar experiment, a so-called Grotesque; a creature made from an eldar and modified into a monster.
That’s the bandaged creature to be exact
Por’la Kel’mara :Fuckin Eldar.
Danielle Seamus: “Rith, can you tell if the kroot are working for them or just slaves like us?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The green woman appears to be human, though it looks like her hands have actually been stitched onto her.

Harbinger: (Kel is talking to the other Tau, right?)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (He said he went up to him!)
Mordecai, there are no obvious power conduits; this is Eldar technology. You do notice a crystal on the base of the left leg of the Astartes’ restraints matches one of the kabalite guard’s rings.
The Astartes opens one eye to stare at you.
Por’la Kel’mara :((Yah, Kel is over w/ the meditating Tau.)
Mordecai:Relay that info to Harby. “…And he seems to have noticed us.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Tau does not move from his spot. “[Tau] Do you have business with me, Water Caste? I am performing the ritual of the bending tree.”
Danielle Seamus: “…prepare to sever that sentry’s hand.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Do you think if my name was Priscilla, that I’d be prettier?”
Mordecai:“I wish I had brought my scalpel now.”
Por’la Kel’mara :is there a knowledge check I can make to know that ritual i.e. if it’s something i shouldn’t disturb him from
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Kel’mara, you already know it; it’s a fire caste ritual done before the eve of battle, imagining what will happen if you fail.
Kahnak Rith: “On your mark, boss.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It is extremely ancient, but famously re-popularised by Commander Farsight.
Por’la Kel’mara :I’ll let him be for it then and not bug him for now, life as a slave sucks enough without a fellow tau bothering you during important things.
“Ah, my apologies. Sorry to interrupt.”
Tau: “Not at all. I welcome the sight of my race, though I wish it did not have to be as enemies.”
Por’la Kel’mara :“E-enemies? We are slated to fight each other?”
Jerrick Kamris: “Ah, Genetor. Do you think you could have a look at this?” Jerrick says quietly to Mordecai, pointing to the collar around his neck. “It would be good to know if it will blow off my head if I attempt to remove it.”
Tau: “Yes. We will fight to the death in what they call the Dead Wastes, should they choose you all worthy. These ‘Wyches’ are… fussy.”

Rogue Trader GM (GM): I don’t even need to say anything!
Mordecai:“Yes, it is a bomb collar.”
“That is what they do.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The orks sneer at passing ‘humies’, but otherwise pace restlessly, save for the ill one.
Por’la Kel’mara :“Does this happen often? How long have you been here?” Kel sits down next to the Tau.
Jerrick Kamris: “A vain hope, I suppose,” Jerrick mutters. “We’ll need to get the control for it then, at some point.”
Kahnak Rith: “Maybe even they can realize their situation.”
Tau: “I have been here… I do not know. Time is different here. The tests…” His face contorts. “I have been through three battles. I have survived them, along with the human soldier.”
Danielle Seamus: “…stand down, Rith,” Harbinger grumbles. “The opportune time has not yet arrived.”
Kahnak Rith: “As you say.”
Por’la Kel’mara :“There is only one winner? Or multiples?”
Kahnak Rith watches the kroot in the meantime.
Danielle Seamus: “What principles do you know about implants that interact with psykers, genetor?”
Mordecai:

Tau: “There are… survivors. It depends. Our masters seem only to want a certain amount of bloodshed before they are satiated. They do not make any sense to me. Sometimes they kill some of us before a battle, for no obvious purpose. Sometimes they declare a winner, only for their leader to duel them to the death.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mordecai you legally know nothing
Mordecai:Good try, Harby
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You illegally know quite a bit, including that they’re incredibly hard to mess with.
The Kroot watch Rith back.
Por’la Kel’mara :“Their leader duels the slaves that win on occasion?”
Danielle Seamus: I don’t actually know anything
Mordecai:“I have heard they are incredibly difficult to interfere with, but I have no experience with such things personally, of course.”
Danielle Seamus: about tech-heresy
“Well, just some pointers would help if you’ve got any.”
Harbinger: (“abstractly, of course”)
Tau: “Yes, though I do not know who they declare as the winner. The slaves band together in groups to fight, they are no set teams.”
Mordecai will dole out a list of hypothetical information concerning the implementation and functionality of psyker implants that the GM can specify if necessary.
Por’la Kel’mara :“Do you have a group?” He says, glancing towards the Kroot if they don’t appear to have an obvious leader already.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Me, and the human soldier. Though is perhaps better to say he tolerates me, Water Caste.”
Mordecai provides you with a supsiciously exhaustive list of traits.
Danielle Seamus: “Well then.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): For example, unlike all other technology you should NOT kick it.
Danielle Seamus: “WHAT”
Kahnak Rith will approach the unarmed kroot.
Tau: “The Kroot are criminals, I am afraid. They want to kill me. I do not doubt they want to kill you. Their leader is a mutant- I saw him…” He shakes hie head. “Perhaps my capture is getting ot me, but I thought I saw him walk through one of the other slaves like an ancient spirit.”
Kroot: “Kahnak.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Its voice sounds strange, as if the kroot is talking to you through water.
Kahnak Rith: “…You recognize me. What Kindred are you from? And why are you here? I would like to know before we meet on the battlefield.”
Por’la Kel’mara :“The Kroot can unfortunately be lured by money and other base things more often than a civilized person should… Do you recall anything more about the circumstances wherein their leader duels a slave?”
Kroot: “You will know when you are as dead as the Maknor, and the human called Charlabelle. traitor. To think you would come to us, finally; the gods are smiling on us.”
Tau: “I… it is strange, but the leader seemed to go for the most wasteful warrior. The warrior who did not simply go for the kill, but played pointless games. I do not understand why they would want to fight such an incompetent soldier.”
Danielle Seamus: “Alright.” Danielle turns to face Sun Lee, her face brightening a little as she locks her green-eyed gaze on the Rogue Trader. “So, what assets are you bringing to the table, m’lady?”
Por’la Kel’mara :"Ohh. I am familiar with this tradition, actually, from my time among the humans… It is called “Gladiators”. They seek “entertainment”, rather than any true purpose from the wasteful fights."
Lee: “Give me a sword, and I will lay waste to these trash- oh, you’re talking about the astropath’s collar aren’t you.”
tau: “pointless.”£
Jerrick Kamris: pointless, pointless £
Danielle Seamus: “Anything and everything. In case they don’t give you a sword, what do you expect to do?”
Lee: “Choke someone till I find a sword. The Eldar love their blood- I doubt they’ll let us on a battlefield that didn’t have weapons SOMEWHERE. It’s their style, from what I’ve heard from survivors.”

Danielle Seamus: “-what would you do? You’re winging it on a hope and a prayer.”
Jerrick Kamris: “…I’d advise some restraint, Inquisitor,” Jerrick says, looking to the Grotesque approaching them.

Kabalite: “[Eldar] They are not even stabbing each other, what is WRONG with human courtship?”
Danielle Seamus: “-they’re not hostile to us anymore,” Harbinger says, cutting Lee off and abruptly dropping her from her arms.
Lee: A quick flash of comprehension crosses her face as she’s dropped
Rogue Trader GM (GM): WHAT NOW
Danielle Seamus: Dani puts a hand on her hip. “That was a lot of tongue for someone that doesn’t swing that way.”
Harbinger: (barrow/mandyventures?)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): I was hoping to HGM you doing something but fine I’ll switch NOW
Unknown: “[Eldar] They already stopped? How disappointing.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): MEANWHILE UPSTAIRS
Barrow, Mandala, Jake, you are left alone for now.
What will you do at the party?
Captain N. Barrow: Let Mandala sell things
Mandala Sigyn gets something to drink that’s hopefully not too toxic.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Slaves are carrying around drinks on their backs,. One passes by you, hopefully stopping.
Captain N. Barrow: “Oh I wanna try.”
Jake: “They’re already killin’ the slaves, do you REALLY wanna risk it?”
Captain N. Barrow: “But Harby drinks ALL the time.”
Harbinger: it’s called alcoholism
Mandala Sigyn grabs a drink from the slave, making sure not to give it too much respect lest she attract attention.
Mandala Sigyn: “And yes, I do. Because if I’m going to be around all these xenos, I’m going to need to be plastered.”
(So who is there to talk to?)
Captain N. Barrow: Barrow grabs a drink and knocks it back.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The giant ork is around, looking confused at the play. The member of the troupe NOT performing at the play is also watching. The eldar are around, most of whom are ignoring you except the Dracon Elvaria who brought you here and the Hierarch she cheerfully said your ‘slaves’ was going to help her kill
Mandala Sigyn: Alright
Mandala walks up to Dracon Elvaria. “So… how exactly are my slaves supposed to get to the Hierarch? I mean, they’re a bit preoccupied at the moment, if you’ll recall,” Mandala says.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Kahnak Rith: aaaaa
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Sorry
keyboard
Jerrick Kamris: cat fell asleep on the keyboard
Elvaria: stops chatting with her soldiers and shakes her head. “Well, obviously they impress the succubus. She brings them up here to duel, and I call out my brother for his cowardice and demand he fight slay them himself. Then I detonate the psyker’s collar.”
“Oh, did I not show it to you? I think one of the walls will show you the slave pits if you ask one of the help. I can go kick one for you, if you like; it’s always more fun to hurt someone else’s slave!”
Mandala Sigyn: “Is that strictly necessary? It seems like such a waste of a psyker,” Mandala says.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): as Elvaria The Eldar frowns. “They exist to be tortured and die. You do not want them to live too long. Even mon’keighs can attract She Who Thirsts, human.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Oh, I know. I’ve killed enough of the Prince of Pleasure’s cultists to know I don’t want to be added to its collection of souls.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She bursts out laughing, and pats you on the head.
“Of course you have widdle human. Of course you have.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Hmph. In any event, if you allow the Hierarch to challenge them to a duel, that could be enough. They are… far stronger than you may think.”
Elvaria: “Hmm. That WOULD be more exciting. Making him accept would be harder- especially if the Succubus wants them for herself.”
Mandala Sigyn: “The succubus can be dealt with.”
Harbinger: (or you can suggest we fight them BOTH :D)
Mandala Sigyn: “Alternately, they can fight both at once. Double your pleasure, double your fun.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Ugh I wish I could fight something.”
Elvaria: “She might need some convincing, but oh, she could go with THAAAAT…” The Eldar frowns at the play. “Why do the Harlequins even bother? It’s not like anyone’s paying them attention except that Grafftletz idiot.”
Captain N. Barrow: Barrow boredly laments the lack of potency on the drink’s part.
Harbinger: barrow did you really say that
in commorragh
Elvaria: “I’m sure she won’t mind if you throw yourself into the fray too!” She pats Barrow on the head as well.
Captain N. Barrow: “I’m not supposed to though.”
Barrow pouts.
Elvaria: “Oo, yes! I insist! You look good with a sword.” She leans in to Sigyn. “More money for you this way.”
Captain N. Barrow: “I’m pretty decent with a sword.”
Elvaria: “Well. There you go, then!”
Captain N. Barrow: “You know, if I did that kind of thing.”
Mandala Sigyn: “If she entered the fray, it would just be unfair,” Mandala says with a smirk. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go antagonize a few antagonists.”
Captain N. Barrow: Are there any more drinks nearby or was that it?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): -There are an infinite number of drinks.
Elvaria helpfully points out which are poisoned.
Captain N. Barrow: Drink one
That isn’t
Elvaria: “As you wish. It’s a disappointment, though.”
Captain N. Barrow: “If I get super smashed it might be fair.”
“Or I could use my other hand.”
“You know if I was good at swordfighting.”
“Instead of just being a slave owner person thing.”
Barrow drinks again.
Elvaria: “yes, so you said. Why do you keep saying it.”
Captain N. Barrow: “My imagination gets the better part of me.”
“Too many warp storms I suppose.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): What are you doing, Mandala?
Captain N. Barrow: "What do you think of the name Priscilla?
"
Mandala Sigyn: O
I’m going to the Hierarch to say hello
I’m going to try to set up a McCarno shuffle
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Hiearach shoos away his crowd, to their confusion. “Well, now/. If it’s not my delightful subordinates’ new supplier. What a delightful colour you are for a human!”
Mandala Sigyn: “Color? I suppose you are referring to the paleness of my skin,” Mandala says. “I did not realize such things were considered attractive to the eldar.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “All abberations are attractive. It is a pity humans do not see it that way, yes? So. Have you come to poison my drink?”He offers it to you. “I assume she asked you to kill me. I HOPE she has. We’re family, after all. It would reflect badly on me if she wasn’t amitious!”
Mandala Sigyn: “Some statements were made in that capacity,” Mandala said, suspiciously. “I assume you wish to see her dead as well?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Oh, goodness, no! This is FAR too much fun. And she’s too stupid to ever pull it off. What did she suggest? The old explosive collar trick? A shooter hidden in the play those Harlequins are performing?”
Mandala Sigyn: “Oh, it would spoil it if I told you, wouldn’t it?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Ha! Delightful. I knew you were very understanding for a human. Poison won’t work, of course- always keep in with the Haemonculi. Immune to all now poisons, now, and most unknown ones.” He snaps his fingers, and the floor becomes see through revealing the slaves below- including Danielle. “See the human with the mask? One of my best warriors, taken by the Wyches on a raid on a human ship called the Harbinger’s Sojourn. Died, of course, but they made her better than new. Undefeated! And with the orks thrown in, well. Always be on the look out for allies!”
“And always look out for your allies stabbing you i nthe back, of course.” He smiles
Captain N. Barrow: Hey
I know that ship.
Por’la Kel’mara :uh-oh
Mandala Sigyn: “…Interesting. I did not realize the eldar could perform such feats.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Oh, of course we can. Nothing is beyond us.” He smiles and waves a glass of something red that smells of iron. “Do you know what that play is called? ‘The Fall of the Eldar’. I respect the Harlequins, but really. Do we look fallen? Even death is not the end for us. We have mastered the webway. The arena your slaves are going to be fighting in? A necrontyr battleship, repurposed. We fear nothing!”
Mandala Sigyn: “A necrontyr ship? Is that wise?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “It’s been emptied, don’t you worry. Teleportation signals disabled. FTL-drive disabled. Even the necrontyr do not match Eldar technology!”
Mandala Sigyn: “Astounding,” Mandala says, genuinely impressed. “I only managed to capture one by trapping it in a stasis field, and that cost me several dozen crew men to accomplish.”
Hierarch Zanian : You…" He looks at you. “You are wasted on her, if you’re telling the truth. Join me and I promise riches beyond compare.”
An eldar whispers in his ear. “Well, mostly beyond compare. A lot of riches is what I am trying to suggest.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I will think on it. First, I propose a wager: the slaves I have brought, versus an equal number of warriors of your own choosing.”
Hierarch: “Hmm. And what would the wager be for?”
Captain N. Barrow: (You get to keep our Tau)
(That’s if we win)
Por’la Kel’mara :(;~;)
Mandala Sigyn: “Typically, I am fond of riches. I have recently come into the wealth of an entire rogue trader dynasty; I figure a planet of vulnerable souls might be of value to you.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (if they win you’ve got to take THEIR Tau as well)
Captain N. Barrow: (This isn’t worth it at all)
(Mandy throw the fight)
Mandala Sigyn: “However, if you lose, I would require something of equal value.”
Hiearch: “Such as?”
Mandala Sigyn: “Hmm… I espy the one you refer to as ‘Succubus,’ who wears an artifact of great value atop her head as a crown.”
“That is approximately worth a planet, I believe.”
Hierarch: “Ah. We reach a problem. I am not her master.”
Mandala Sigyn: “No, but I am certain you could arrange to obtain that item through other means.”
Hierarch: “Hmm. I could. Especially if she should die in the arena.”
Mandala Sigyn: “That… could be arranged, if she will fight.”
The Eldar pushes aside his admiring crowd and gives a half-mocking bow. “Then the bet is made, slave master.” He stands back up, adjusting his skull-pattern robe. “This has been… ah. Speak of the daemon and she shall appear.” He points at the view of the slave pen.
Captain N. Barrow: .
Mandala Sigyn looks down.
Jerrick Kamris: it’s capitalism aeroplane emperor donkey kong
calling it now
An Eldar enters the pen, moving with the grace of a Grynix and carrying a sword still dripping in blood. She wears a leotard that reveals most of her alabaster skin, self-inflicted scars counting the number of each type of xenos she has personally murdered judging from tattooed Eldar script above them. Her red hair flies behind her, pins of bone driven through it rattling as she enters.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mandala has never seen her before in her life. Jake throws a worried glance at Barrow.
(To MissBarrow): hey remember when you were tortured when an Eldar took over your ship
(To MissBarrow): Guess who this is
Hierarch: “Succubus Irkalla herself. My, I wonder what brought her attention?”
(To Jerrick Kamris): when we move back to you HEY YOU RECOGNISE HER
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick suddenly grows still as the eldar woman enters the room.
Mandala Sigyn: “Who knows?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): SWITCHING BACK DOWN
(From Captain N. Barrow): So uhh does Barrow see this?
(To MissBarrow): YES
Captain N. Barrow: “Hm, I might favor my imagination for a bit, and do some swordfighting,” Barrow murmurs.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “I am Succubus Irkalla. Cease your fighting. It will be a waste to kill each other without an audience.”
Danielle Seamus: “Awfully stiff there, Kamris. Don’t tell me it was on account of us ladie- whuh”
Harbinger: (what language is this)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Eldar is speaking in her own language, but a translation in low gothic comes out of a simple iron collar around her throat
This seems to be a common theme.
Danielle Seamus: “No fighting here ma’am, no, we’re just uhhhh” IS SUN LEE STILL IN RANGE FOR ERP
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Against my better judgement
yes
Danielle Seamus: resume the writhing tantric copulation
Succubus: “Ah, this is more interesting. Guards; make sure they start at opposite sides of the arena.” She smiles at the pair of you. “Should either of you kill the other during the battle, you will be given our favour, and may skip a future battle. Murder between lovers is ssssso potent.”
Danielle Seamus: “emperor dangit”
Lee: (“Did you really not study ANYTHING about these xenos”)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): *muffled
Danielle Seamus: (“I was too busy biting on your tongue to read anything”)
*also muffled
Irkalla: “I am here to test the new slaves. You must be ready to steal the show, or what WOULD be the point?” Her arm shoots out for Danielle’s occupied jaw
Danielle Seamus: “Oh no-”
Dani squeaks in a muffled grunt as she tries to react rapidly.

Captain N. Barrow: One more time
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She grabs your jaw, turning you towards her and kissing you passionately before releasing you with a shove.
Danielle Seamus: “Mmmmfffgggghhhh…!!”
Captain N. Barrow: That has got to be heresy.
Irkalla: “Love. War. They’re both the same. You can read a warrior from either. When you’ve killed so many of them, you can recognise them anywhere.” She turns away. “Tell me, Sister; where are your fellow warriors? Did you betray them? Perhaps you watched them die. Did they scream like cowards when they fell?”

Harbinger: (I don’t see anything that excludes it)
Hierarch: “I don’t… the slave HIT her. Nobody’s done that before!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (excellent)
Mandala Sigyn: “I have a feeling that many unusual things will happen today, Hierarch.”
Danielle Seamus: “Okay, okay, okay, listen.”

Danielle Seamus: “I got my licks in, you got yours… kind of literally in your case. We should be even…”

Rogue Trader GM (GM): (it is flexibile)
Harbinger: augh
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Well I guess
your parry fails
Harbinger: indeed
Mandala Sigyn: wait, so she can’t dodge now?
Danielle Seamus: I’m going to elect to not dodge
and instead *try* to parry
Rogue Trader GM (GM): I’m actually not sure how that would particularly work
Danielle Seamus: with my bare arm
I’m ELECTING
Rogue Trader GM (GM): but Danielle is going to try and parry ANYWAY
Danielle Seamus: regardless
Rogue Trader GM (GM): I guess I should in future say it’s unparryable?

Danielle Seamus grits her teeth in agony as the weapon wraps around her arm, taking her down to her knees.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): As her sword-whip tears into your flesh, she licks the blood of her lips. “Now. We’re even.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Why did she try to block that?” Mandala says, incredulously.
Hierarch: “She was doing SO well.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Hmm. Well, wait a moment and see what happens.”
Danielle Seamus: Grit teeth and pull down on the sword, hard, twisting my body into the surprise assault.
I’m gonna pull it out of her hands.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alreight
Danielle Seamus: Disarming. I immediately take crippling damage.
“By the THRONE…!”
A fire lights in Danielle’s eyes as she struggles to wrest the weapon away.
(does my gambit gain me any bonus/impose her any penalty?)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): yeah I’m giving her a -20

Irkalla: “Oh, little girl. You’re entertaining, but don’t push it TOO far.”
Danielle Seamus snaps the sword at her, backing away slowly. “You want it… take it in the arena.”
The Eldar cocks her head, then bursts out laughing, an alien laugh that sounds more like the screaming of a wounded animal. “Yessss. Yes. She has passed all the tests; she is worthy to be in the arena. Let her keep it till I can pry it off her own corpse.”
Irkalla: “The rest of the new slaves. Line up. Your tests await.”
Mordecai:“I suggest trying not to move.” Mordy will whisper to Dani before falling into line.
Kahnak Rith falls into line silently.
Por’la Kel’mara hup.
Captain N. Barrow:Captain N. Barrow: “So you’re a pi- Eldar right? So you guys are obsessed with sex and lust and all that stuff right?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Who is barrow talking to
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick lines up, his movements stiff as he stares at Irkalla emotionlessly.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): the Hierarch?
Captain N. Barrow: Uh
The other chick that kept talking at her.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): oh the Dracon
Lady Elvaria: “Sex? Sex is such a base word. I prefer ‘lovemaking to the sound of screaming slaves on a bonfire’.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): As you line up, she pairs the non-Danielle slaves with each other.
Kahnak Rith: c’mon mordy vs rith
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick, Kel, you’re both paired up with another human, sullen dead-eyed creatures.
Mordecai, you and Rith are facing each other.
Captain N. Barrow: “Okay, well during bonfire screamy lovemaking, what do you do if your partner is more into spikes and bleeding than any actual lovemaking?”
Kahnak Rith: god why
god-emprah
Elvaria: “I don’t understand the difference.”
Captain N. Barrow: “I need an heir.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The glass underneath the pairs with a shudder seperates from the main floor, and the pairs find themselves floating over the lake of blood, on a flying pane of glass.
Captain N. Barrow: “I need a baby to come out, not blades to go in.”
Elvaria: “oooh! You want a TRUEBORN.”
“Someone to lord over the vatborn, someone destined for greatness.”
Mandala Sigyn: “…Sure, something like that.”
Por’la Kel’mara looks around at the rest of the slaves’ reactions.
Captain N. Barrow: “Yeah I don’t think… I have a vat.”
Barrow looks down at her stomach.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The human slaves look slightly confused
Captain N. Barrow: *poke*
Danielle Seamus: Danielle is going to kneel on the floor warily, trying to extract the razorwhip wrapped around her arm as best she can.
Elvaria: “Tie the donor down. Leave no room for blades.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (oh christ I’m advocating asasult)
(Dark Eldar romance advice is the worst)
Kahnak Rith: in the grim darkness of the far future
there is no consent
Elvaria: “Some partners are even into that sort of thing. Your own screams heal the soul as much as anyone else!”
Irkalla: Down in the pit, the Succubus shouts down at you. “Fight. Wrestle. Survive. One will fall into the lake of blood. One will come up, stronger, harder. There can only be one of each pair declared a winner. Begin!”
(From Jerrick Kamris): so i can’t manage any powers at all huh
(To Jerrick Kamris): you can manage short-range telepathy
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (This is an opposed weapon skill test)
Captain N. Barrow: “He might be good at escaping.”
“Maybe I can get Mordy to rig something up.”
Barrow taps her chin in though.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Bonuses might be given for descriptions and plans!)
Captain N. Barrow: thought*
Jake: “She’s not serious is she?” He whspers to Mandala.
Danielle Seamus: “KAHNAK RITH!” Dani’s choked voice calls out. “Take a dive… and survive.”
Por’la Kel’mara :OH GOD WEAPON SKILL
Danielle Seamus: “I’ll triple your pay.”
(From Jerrick Kamris): would i need a focus test for it or can i just do it
Kahnak Rith: dangit
my one weakness
Mandala Sigyn: “Have you been paying attention? Of course they’re serious,” she whispers back.
Jerrick: if it normally wouldn’t, it won’t
Jerrick Kamris: oh
thanks me
Harbinger: *mebama
Jake: “You know, I really bloody wish you all left me in jail.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): RITH VS MORDECAI
what do you (both) do?
Captain N. Barrow: “Are you sure you want to discuss bondage right now?” Barrow gives Jake a wink.
Mandala Sigyn: “Then you shouldn’t have tried to escape,” she says smugly.
Jake: “Oh, throne.”
“I didn’t! You teleported me off the planet!”
Kahnak Rith: are these platforms like, so small that we have to be adjacent
Por’la Kel’mara :( thought we wer eall just paired up on amassive glass pane)
(and then they go ROUND !: FIGHT)
Kahnak Rith: (well, I guess I mean is it like 2m wide)
Danielle Seamus: “Xeno! You are small, so explode with momentum at your opponent. Do NOT hesitate. If you die here, so does all hope to advance your Greater Good.”
“Kamris, save your strength. Use your opponent’s momentum against him.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Rith you’re right next to each other.
+10 to the opposed WS
Danielle Seamus barks out orders in High Gothic, so as to limit those who will understand her.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): for Danielle’s tactics
Harbinger: except the one that Rith got
Kahnak Rith: good catch
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Indeed
Harbinger: since I don’t really have any faith in Mordy winning a fair fight
of opposed WS
Kahnak Rith will fall low, out of the enormous Genetor’s sight and bound at him from below, slamming a shoulder into him with all her might to knock the giant off balance.
Kahnak Rith: Or pretend to, at least.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
if you’re just going to take a fall I don’t need a WS test >_>
Mordecai is pushed back slightly, foot almost on the edge before falling forward and sending an enormous boot at the assaulting kroot.
Mordecai:I need to have more details on this pit now >_>
or reposted details
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You’re on a floating pane of glass
hovering dozens of metres above a lake of blood
with walls of some kind of wraithbone
Mordecai:climb checks
the old killer of the kroot krew
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Rith, I assume, is knocke doff.
Unless you’re doing this for REAL
in which case Mordecai gets a +10 and Rith gets a +20
Mordecai:I’m THINKING
It’s sad that Mordy would have a way easier time surviving that fall.
Harbinger: I *need* mordy
;-;
Mordecai:I knowwww
I have to make it look like Rith fell at least
Harbinger: if Rith can grab ahold of wraithbone she’ll be fine
just make the most reliable tests of all
climb tests
Mordecai:godddd
Kahnak Rith is caught unaware and sent flying backwards to the edge, and is quickly knocked off as an enormous hand flies out to shove her.
Kahnak Rith: Going to aim
for the wall
or rather mordy is gonna try to push her as far as he can toward it
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
give me a WS fomr Mordy, with an assist from Rith

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Rith falls down, landing in the blood lake
JERRICK
Kahnak Rith: with my last breath, i blame
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You’re facing a small woman, missing several teeth who looks at you and the lake then prepares to lunge.
Kahnak Rith: RIIIIIIIIIITH
Jerrick Kamris: oh
Danielle Seamus: “Riiiiiiiiiiiiii-”
Por’la Kel’mara a single tear
Danielle Seamus can’t complete the cry because she’ll take more unsoakable crippling damage
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick stares blankly at the slave opposite him, his eyeless gaze piercing. “Don’t curse me, curse the fate that brought you here,” he whispers softly as he telepathically bombards his opponent with images of several of the various horrors he’s seen in his travels, before rushing into his opponent in an attempt to shove her off the platform while she’s off guard.

Elderly Man: “Not gonna let a stinkin’ XENOS do me in no SIR.”
Jerrick Kamris: i’ll send her an image of a peaceful field of flowers or something while she’s falling at least
Man: “GONNA GITCHA BLUE BOI”
Por’la Kel’mara :Kelly tries to duck in quickly, following Danielle’s tactics the best his puny Tau body can manage. “This, for the first time in my life, is no time for words! … I’m sorry for what I must do!” And slams himself into the man, trying to hurl him into the horrific awful fate below.

Jerrick Kamris: (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Irkalla: “Well. The Dracon was right about all of you. Except the Kroot, it appears; tell me, did it hurt you to betray her like that? Send her down to her inevitable death, after sharing so much together?”
Harbinger: (Mordecai:“who”)
Por’la Kel’mara is quiet.
Danielle Seamus: “Irkalla……!”
Irkalla: “Well, you can tell her herself. We’re bringing her back up in a minute!”
Mordecai:“Why would I feel sorry for a- wait what.”
Danielle Seamus picks up a rock and throws it at the succubus
Irkalla: “Why would we kill you out of sight of the admiring crowds?”

Irkalla: “Still, winners; know you have the eyes of the Wych cult. We will make sure you survive long enough to put on a show. The fight in is in a few rotations of the ziggurats; make your allies. Scrounge what courage you can. You will go to war.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She leaves, along with the kabalite warriors. You can hear the sound of a webway opening and closing upstairs.
Danielle Seamus: *pant* *pant* “You won’t get away with this… I swe- oh she’s gone thank the Emperor.”
Mordecai:“I said DON’T MOVE.”
Danielle Seamus lets out a long-suppressed, quintessentially girlish scream.
Danielle Seamus: “Why- I can feel *everything*…!! Every fething sensation, every errant breeze, it’s like millions of knives against my skin-”
Hierarch: Up above, the Eldar highborne sighs. “Ah, the old kill-their-friends gag. Never gets old.”
Danielle Seamus: “…and NONE more agonizing than your ministrations, genetor…!”
Mordecai:“It is a shame I could not bring my sedatives.”
Danielle Seamus: “She… if she does that to me, or any of us in battle, that’s it. We’re dead.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I thought killing one’s loved ones was better than killing a stranger.”
Mordecai:“You have shown us not to block is with our limbs. This information may be vital to our survival.”
block it*
Danielle Seamus: “Sometimes I don’t know if you’re capable of sarcasm, genetor. But it goes deeper than that.”
Danielle keeps panting as sweat beads on her forehead and runs in rivulets down her face. “It’s not her weapon that does it. It’s her hands. That’s her raw skill.”
“She tags any of us with any weapon, and… I don’t even know.”
Mordecai:“Aim to take her out before she can respond?”
“Obviously not that simple.”
Danielle Seamus: *grunt* “But the right idea. We have to gang up on her and take her out the second she exposes herself if we get the chance.”
(To Jerrick Kamris): YOU STILL HAVE TELEPATHY BY THE WAY
(From Jerrick Kamris): yes but idk who to telepathy to or about what
(To Jerrick Kamris): fair
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick sighs. “I would prefer to crush that monster’s skull myself, but I’ll take whatever satisfaction I can get from her death, regardless of who does it.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The tau has finished meditating, and bows at Kel.
Danielle Seamus: “I would recommend- ugh- we get as much rest as possible before they throw us into the real crucible tomorrow.”
Por’la Kel’mara :“I cannot articulate my desire to save you from this living hell.” Kel sits again by the Fire Caste Tau.
Tau: “I am saving myself already. As you are. You have already learned the best method of survival; earn our captor’s favour.”
Danielle Seamus is entering her own meditative state, focusing her inner fury as she contemplates this state of affairs.
Danielle Seamus:

Kahnak Rith: “…Disgusting games. I too must ruminate.”
Por’la Kel’mara :“I meant a more permanent basis.”
Kahnak Rith: too good perhaps
Tau: “As did I. Their favour provides weapons. Maps of the arena. All the things required for a possible escape attempt.”
Kahnak Rith finds an empty spot to do crazy kroot rituals.
Tau: “Those above are excited by what they have seen already,” he nods at the ceiling.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): MEANWHILE
A Tau is nodded at you, Barrow
how strange
*nodding
Danielle Seamus: “…Kamris. Can you sense any psychic signatures above us?”
Captain N. Barrow: “Oh ew it sees me.”
“It sees me”
Barrow grabs the Eldar’s arm.
Mandala Sigyn: “What?”
Por’la Kel’mara :“… I see…”
“That changes things, then.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Dracon with a fixed smile takes her arm out of Barrow’s grasp, and tears off the fabric to throw into a heating orb.

Mordecai:don’t you fukken out me
Jerrick Kamris: do i know where the one in here is
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Not through the collar, no
Well
Danielle Seamus: “You sense any presence above us?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): it’s impossible but
it almost feels like it comes from the direction of the orks
Jerrick Kamris: o
“One.” Jerrick looks over to the Orks. “One in here, as well.”
Danielle Seamus: “…that collar must be making your powers screwy.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): an old slave clutches his walking stick as you look over the room, making the sign of warding off evil as he tries to avoid any eye contact with the ‘witch’
Mandala Sigyn: If I hear them talk about this, can I make a roll?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Hmm
Yes
Danielle Seamus: “More importantly, the one above us has to be Sigyn,” Harbinger whispers. “Can you link minds with her?”

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Orks have been known to have psykers. Reports are extremely rare, as their psykers are incrredibly potent, if equally erratic

Danielle Seamus: “Let her know we need her to start plotting out an exit strategy… and advise that she let Iron Jake off his leash. He’s the only one who has the capability of running Dracul to ground here in Commorragh.”

Mandala Sigyn: “Alright, Jake,” Mandala whispers. “I have a job for you. We need to find Dracul- he’s somewhere around here, and we need to draw him out.”
Jake: “Oh good. the FUN part of the job. So just me running around a city of sadist Eldar?”
“Can I shoot myself in the bleedin’ head now, or do you want to let them do that?”
Mandala Sigyn: “Well, I can’t leave now, and the best distraction I can think of is telling the Kaptin that the Heirarch doesn’t think he’s ’ard enough.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “…Alright, alright. I think I can head out. Good luck.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Send me a message if anything happens.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Hey, have you ever heard of apples?”
“I think they’re a fruit or a nut or some kind of shoe.”
“Edible shoe I think.”
Dracon: “App- oh, App-Less. Yes, they were created by the Eldar several million years ago. We graciously seeded them on a hundred worlds as a gift to the universe.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Oh!”
“Do you have some?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She stares at you for a second, then reaches for a slave carrying food around.
She hands you a red, spherical object.
You have never seen anything like it before.
Captain N. Barrow: “This is an apple?”
“It looks nothing like a shoe.”
“Or a nut.”
*poke*
*prod*
Dracon: “What else would it be? Sher’un Ba’ka ’Mon’keigh.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Do you have… seeds?”
Dracon: “IT IS A FRUIT.”
“They are INSIDE the apple.”
Captain N. Barrow: Barrow stares at the apple in awe.
“I… I’m keeping this.”
Dracon: “Well I do not think the Hierarch wants you to return it after you’re done with it.s”
Captain N. Barrow: “I.. no.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The party appears to be winding up.
Does anyone want to do anything before it finishes?
Mandala Sigyn: No, I actually need to go get something to eat
so if we could call it a night, that would be good
Kahnak Rith: we haven’t been appropriately hgmed tho
Harbinger: we should probably do as much as we can with the slave side so we don’t waste time on it next session
Captain N. Barrow: Suddenly Rith explodes into mecha Bastille and he is Chaos and Necron also hgm cliffhanger
Harbinger: subject to sephs’s constraints ofc
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yeah alright
Party side is done

The dracon will grudgingly provide quarters on her ship and keep the torture sounds to a minimum

Jerrick Kamris: i got a whole 10 dos
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
Danielle Seamus: “Hmm… well, I’m not sure if I count as ‘favored’ or not.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): let’s see
a mere -30 to the roll now
to mess with the thing
Danielle Seamus: let’s hold off on it
It’ll probably be best to deactivate the bomb collar once we’re in the arena
and no one can toss on a new one between then
Mordecai:“I believe I count as favored.”
Danielle Seamus: “Yeah, you and Kamris and the Seneschal…”
Lee: “You looked favoured to ME.”
Mordecai:im popular
Jerrick Kamris: “They look for the most entertaining slaves,” Jerrick says. “I believe you meet that qualification quite easily.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Lee is grumpy; she failed to fain favour because she refused to push her opponent off.
Danielle Seamus: “I don’t like this definition of favored.”
Mordecai:“It is the Eldar definition, so that makes sense.”
Danielle Seamus: “Hey, you think my antics back there got Irkalla to forget about the whole pitting me and Lee against each other for being quasi-lesbians?”
Danielle Seamus : *thumbs-up to Lee*
Jerrick Kamris: “…I don’t believe even you are that naive.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): A single Eldar moves into the room. Unlike the kabalite guards, he is wearing a white porcelain mask showing a smiling, androgynous face. The mere sight of it itches in Jerrick’s head.
Danielle Seamus: “A-nnoy-ing.”
Jerrick Kamris: my brain itches
Mordecai:don’t scratch it
Danielle Seamus immediately assumes a combat ready stance, despite every nerve ending in her body alighting as she does so.
Danielle Seamus: “You…!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It walks up to Jerrick Kamris and watches him, silently.
It completely ignores Danielle
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick falls silent, looking at the Eldar.
Lee: “Is… is that a Harlequin?”
Mordecai:“What is up with this one?”
“I thought these ones did not like psykers. Unless it is about to do something horrible to Jerry.”
Danielle Seamus: “Isha said her partners in prophetic crime were here. I wouldn’t put it past her-”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Ork runt hides behind one of his brethren, giving Jerrick and the Eldar a mournful look.
Eldar: “A boon.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It speaks flawless high gothic.
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick raises an eyebrow.
Mordecai:‘what is this strange xenos tongue’
Danielle Seamus: “It’s got the *insufferable* miasma of Mortaria, though.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): This is not the same feeling as with Mortaria, Jerrick
it’s somehow… worse
Jerrick Kamris:
rolling 1d100 vs 75 does my xenos lore tell me anything about this

Eldar: “A boon. Your companion saved my sister’s life. Thus a boon I shall grant thee.”
Jerrick Kamris: 5 dos~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You know a little about harlequins- they’re weird even for Eldar.
Danielle Seamus: “Sister’s- Mandyyyyyyyy”
“Also, technically, meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Supposedly, there’s one even wierder than the rest, always apart- a creature called a ‘Solitaire’.
Jerrick Kamris: “And what manner of boon would one such as you grant to me?”
Danielle Seamus: “Can the boon be for him to kill himself so we don’t have to listen to its grating voice any longer?”
Solitaire: “Anything in my power.”
“If that is your boon, than I shall leave.”
Mordecai:“Jerry’s voice isn’t that bad.”
Jerrick Kamris: “I want… I want to be able to fight,” Jerrick says simply. “At my full power.”
Danielle Seamus: “I am *really* confused as to if you understand how many jokes you make on a daily basis, Genetor.”
Mordecai:“???”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The creature touches your collar.
You feel the burden lessening, on your mind, until it’s all gone.
Jerrick Kamris: im freeee
Solitaire: “Simple. The debt is paid.”
Danielle Seamus throws her research into the nearest trashbin full of used rape kits
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He turns. “I would have thought you would ask for escape. Curious.”
THE BOMB
IS STILL ATTACHED
The Eldar moves to leave up the stairs
Por’la Kel’mara anime flop on bak
Danielle Seamus follow suit
Jerrick Kamris: “We still have business here.”
Solitaire: “Yes. The C’tan. The one who would repeat the mistake of She Who Thirsts is already here. You may be too late.”
Jerrick Kamris: “I pray to the Emperor that is not so. But we’ll stop him anyway.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The masked Eldar stares at you before heading out.
NOW WHAT
Danielle Seamus: “Dangit Jerry I would hit you if it wouldn’t hurt me more than it would you”
“on the other hand”
Jerrick Kamris: “I have my power back. We can leave at any time.”
Danielle Seamus fishes her research back out of the trash
Danielle Seamus: “Except for the whole bomb collar thing.”
Jerrick Kamris: “I thought we still wished to fight in the arena? We have an STC to retrieve, after all.”
“It wouldn’t do any good to have it removed just for them to give me another.”
Mordecai:“That is correct, we cannot leave without that. And the Captain’s revenge, likely.”
Lee: “What total rubbish was that xenos even TALKING about?”
Danielle Seamus: “Taking it off once we got to the arena was the general idea anyway… that hasn’t changed. It’s just not quite as useful.”
Mordecai:“True, we could have asked for some firepower.”
Danielle Seamus: “Dwelling on it will do us no good. Let’s use Kamris’s power to our advantage.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The other slaves are watching you all with bemused interest
Danielle Seamus: “…man. How did *Barrow* lead an uprising against these things. Seems impossible, given the circumstances.”
Lee: “What.”
Mordecai:“She did succeed in dueling that redacted, recall.”
Danielle Seamus: “Thank you for redacting that.”
Lee: “What.”
Jerrick Kamris: “She is a rather charismatic leader, when she chooses to be.”
Danielle Seamus: “Never you mind, Scion of the Ma’Kao Dynasty.” Danielle turns to Sun Lee.
“Lady Sun Lee. Where do we need to get you to reestablish your control over your Dynasty?”
Lee: “I HAVE control?”
“I need to just get back to my ship!”
Danielle Seamus: “And the Nihontu is docked here in Commoragh?”
“We didn’t see it among the ships of Penance.”
Lee: “Penance?”
“No, the ship is docked at Terminus Est.”
“I mean, that’s the closest way to Commorragh.”
Danielle Seamus: “…I don’t know whether to hit you again or kiss you again.”
Lee: " “NEITHER.”
Danielle Seamus: “Thinkin’ both”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): what is everyone else doing
Danielle Seamus shakes her head. “No matter. Kamris, rip open her mind.”
Jerrick Kamris: “…And what would I be searching for?”
Lee: “Wait, hang on a-”
Danielle Seamus: Harbinger rests her chin on her hand thoughtfully. “The way Lee got here in the first place. The path through the Webway. The dock she disembarked at.”
Por’la Kel’mara :I’m just hanging out with the Tau, I don’t really have anything “special” i’m doing other than people wtahcing and keeping an eye on and aorud things, so
Danielle Seamus: “You open a portal to that location, and send her with every slave that isn’t us through.”
“Every slave that will listen to reason, at least.”
“From there,” Harbinger ruminates, “if she has even a modicum of competence she and the slaves can overpower the docked ship there and get back to Terminus Est.”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick ponders for a moment, and nods. “Very well.” He looks to Lee. “If you wish to ease the process, feel free to concentrate on these things. Resistance may be… Painful for you. And you wouldn’t want to accidentally divulge any secrets to a rival Rogue Trader crew, would you?” He turns back to Dani. “…She should be restrained, as well.”
Mordecai:Time to grapple Dani
Danielle Seamus: “I got this, Genetor.”
Mordecai nods.
Danielle Seamus grabs ahold of the Rogue Trader Lady Sun Lee tightly, pressing her body as close as she can.
Danielle Seamus: “Oh, hey. Look where we are again.”
Mordecai:“I am unsure if quasi is an appropriate descriptor anymore.”

“…I feel this is an appropriate time to stress that I’m straight, honestly, Lee.”

Jerrick Kamris: yay
im not lookin’ for any extra stuff other than a place to stick the other end of this portal
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
You find it
Harbinger: (jerrick is on the other side of the otp in the ship wars)
Jerrick Kamris: and especially not for any suppressed bisexual tendencies
anyway once i get that i’ll break the probe
“Got it.”
Danielle Seamus: “You didn’t get them, did you?” Danielle pouts.
Jerrick Kamris: “Perhaps you should simply work on your seduction skills, Inquisitor. I’m not your wingman.”
Danielle Seamus: “I’M STRAIGHT”
Jerrick Kamris: “You’ve certainly proved it during our time in here,” Jerrick says dryly.
Danielle Seamus: “DEDICATION TO THE EMPEROR”
“WHO IS A GUY,” Harbinger adds.
Jerrick Kamris: “I’m sure that’s all it was.”
Danielle Seamus huffs, her eyes narrowing at Sun Lee. “You think you can hold it together long enough to get back to your fleet, Lee?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Y-yes you sadistic BITCH- I mean yes thankyou for the freedom.”
Danielle Seamus holds up a finger. “Ah, ah, ah. I would have thought the prodigy of the Ma’kao Dynasty would know better than that.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “The catch?”
Danielle Seamus crosses her arms and takes a momentous pause.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “I’m NOT going to make out with you again.”
Danielle Seamus: “Vassal to the Barrow Dynasty. Annual tribute.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “HahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.”
Danielle Seamus: “Or I kill you tomorrow.”
Danielle Seamus unfurls the razor-whip menacingly.
Danielle Seamus: A small smile reveals itself on Dani’s face. “I’ll also exonerate you of those scurillous piracy rumors that have spread like wildfire through Damocles.”
“That will more than make up for the tribute, in terms of Thrones.”
Danielle Seamus lists a suspiciously exhaustive litany of the piracy rumors that have been leveled against Lee over the past years.
Lee: “You. I should’ve KNOWN Barrow didn’t have the imagination.”
Danielle Seamus: “Freedom and a profit for you. You know what Ma’kao mercantile policy is on that.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She grinds her teeth.
“Fine. FINE! BASTILLE wouldn’t have agreed to this”
Danielle Seamus: Dani blows a kiss. “Trust me, darling, he’s going to get a *far* worse deal than that.”
Kahnak Rith: Bastille-kun~
Danielle Seamus: “Genetor. Notarize that, officially.”
Mordecai:“It has been processed.”
Danielle Seamus: “Excommunicate Tratoris to anyone that breaks it,” Danielle issues a helpful chirpy reminder.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Lee’s face falls
“You’re not even a full Inquisitor! I’ll complain to Dracul about this!”
Danielle Seamus takes out the Rosette a bit languidly.
Danielle Seamus: “I’m… sorry, what?”
Lee: “YOU WERE AN INTERRGATOR FOR ALL OF 3 HOURS, COME BLOODY ON!”
Danielle Seamus: “Time keeps on slipping into the future, m’lady. Now, if I’m not mistaken, you have freedom and a healthy profit to achieve.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “God-Emperor, I’ll get you for this if the profit doesn’t outweigh the shame!”
Jerrick Kamris: at least she has her priorities straight
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “If it does, I hope this is the start of a BEAUTIFUL friendship.”
Jerrick Kamris: even if dani doesn’t ;)
Lee: “Open your witch-portal.”
Mordecai:;)
Jerrick Kamris: “We should get the others organized first, if you are to lead a rebellion.” Jerrick looks to the other slaves.
“I can only keep it open for so long.”
Harbinger: I commit the motes to Tiger Warrior Training Technique
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Most of the human slaves are willing to leave.
The only exceptions are: the Astartes, who’s bound here;
Harbinger: we’re not giving Lee a Space Marine anyway
Rogue Trader GM (GM): the green woman, who doesn’t appear to understand the question and keeps staring at Jerrick
Kahnak Rith: can’t wait to eat that
Rogue Trader GM (GM): the old man with the walking stick who cheerfully declares he’d rather die horribly than go through a witch-portal
And that Jerrick’s soul is damned and he will burn in the warp forever.
Kahnak Rith: i like the cut of that guy’s jib
Danielle Seamus: :D
Rogue Trader GM (GM): the Tau also refuses to leave, declaring he will not leave the Astarte behind.
Kahnak Rith: c’mon orkiest rebellion
Rogue Trader GM (GM): One of the orks decided to go out of boredom
Jerrick Kamris: is the place within 4 km
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The rest stubbornly refuse, saying the ‘Kaptin’ will beat us to death with our own faces."
Yes, Jerrick.

“I leave it to your discretion.”
Por’la Kel’mara :(the legendary one player party split)
Kahnak Rith: “I have business in the arena.”
Danielle Seamus: “Very well.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The arena is left far emptier.
All that is left are the orks, the kroot, the Astartes, the green woman and the fire warrior.
And the crazy old man ranting about Jerry.
Danielle Seamus: “…we *really* have to figure out what that green female is.”
Tau: “[Low Gothic] Woman? Strange. Fought before. Strange.”
Kahnak Rith: “Strange like a witch strange?”
Jerrick Kamris: “She seems to be looking at me, whoever she is. And I don’t think it’s because I’m a psyker.”
Tau: “[LG]Witch? Like ‘Psyker’? No. Doesn’t feel pain. Doesn’t stop. Too fast for human.”
Danielle Seamus: “I’m going to sound like a broken record, Kamris, but could you…”
Jerrick Kamris: “…I think she might put up a bit more of a fight than Lee did. I doubt your charms could woo her enough to hold still for me.”
Woman: “K…”
Danielle Seamus: “She may hold still of her own accord. She seems to be transfixed.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): A long droning osund comes from beneath her mask.
Kahnak Rith: “!”
Por’la Kel’mara :“…?”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick raises an eyebrow.
Woman: “Kaaaaaaaaa. Ka. Kam. Kamaaaaaaaa.Kamrrraaaa.”
“issssssss.”
Danielle Seamus: “Jerryyyyyyyyyyyyy”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick tilts his head curiously. “…Perhaps I should make the attempt anyway. This has me curious.”

Harbinger: no one understands the psyker rules

Rogue Trader GM (GM): 99
She
fails
Harbinger: but if she’s psychic
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick, you find yourself on the Sojourn’s bridge.
Harbinger: she just triggered phenomena
(seriously)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It’s completely empty, save for you and the captain.
Jerrick Kamris: “What…”
Alexandria Barrow: “Astropath Kamris? Contact the choir master! I can’t reach him from here!”
Jerrick Kamris: “What.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The old captain of the Harbinger’s Sojourn paces around the bridge, running her hands through auburn hair. “Where is everyone? Pilot Sanc- ty. Pilot Sanc- ty! Enginseer - ! Where are they? Where are the NAMES Kamris? WHERE ARE THEY?”
Jerrick Kamris: “How is this even…?”
“Is it really you, captain?”
Alexandria: “Of course. I can’t die. The prophecy was QUITE clear on that, young psyker. My name is Ale… Al… My name is Captain Barrow, last of her line. No. Why did I say last…?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The entire bridge rumbles.
Jerrick Kamris: “Did they really…”
“You should be dead…”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “This isn’t real, is it, Jerrick? How can I be dead?”
“Tell me I can’t be dead.”
Jerrick Kamris: “I saw you. I felt you… Why would they…? HOW?!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “No. No, tell me I’m not dead, Astropath. I COMMAND you!”

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Well you brought this on yourself
Jerrick Kamris: i sure did
The bridge melts away to reveal a chair beneath a horrifying array of implements. “NO… no! Don’t bring me here, Kamris! This never… this never happened! NO STOP!”
Alexandria’s body jerks like a marionette, until her limbs are pulled off one by one as she screams. The chair’s straps lovingly drag her screaming corpse to it as the horrible devices descend to chop and remake her, her blood flooding the room you’re in.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 2
Jerrick
Guess what
Jerrick Kamris: hi
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Insanity

Jerrick Kamris: well yes

im gonna break the probe
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You break the probe.
You could go DEEPER INSTEAD
Jerrick Kamris: oh
i guess
i could
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Do you
Jerrick Kamris: this is a bad idea but
i gotta know
Rogue Trader GM (GM): ALRIGHT
An Eldar appears above her. On its back, in cruel mockcery of mechandrites, sits an array of torture instruments on arms.Its bottom jaw has been replaced by that of of a giant snake’s. “Isn’t it wonderful?”
Jerrick Kamris: okay i got that guy’s face memorized
let’s get outta here
Harbinger: is that the final level
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yes
Kahnak Rith: cheese it
Eldar: “Where are you going? We have so much more to talk about, Kamris!”
Harbinger: uh oh
Jerrick Kamris: “What.”
Kahnak Rith: ya dug too deep jerry
Eldar: “My work. My masterpiece. And you, of course. Your part in all of this.”
Jerrick Kamris: “I’ve had enough of a part in all this, thanks,” Jerrick growls. “Too much, if you ask me.”
Eldar: “You have. You’ve freed me. I thank you.”
Jerrick Kamris: “I… What?”
Eldar: “She suppressed me. After so much effort of imprinting myself in her memories. There are a thousand ways to cause pain, and I pushed a little too far. But your therapy did wonders. Her screams of fear and anger tomorrow will excite me no end. The real me; I merely have the honour of being a psychic imprint of the great Haemonculi Drecarus.”
“To think a Mon’keigh psyker could break her completely… if you meet the real me, could you tell me I should pay more attention to psykers? There’s so much more than can be useful for than just mere torture!”
Jerrick Kamris: “Don’t get too comfortable in here,” Jerrick says, narrowing his eyeholes. “What you’ve done to Alexandria is an abomination.”
Harbinger: if this is the psychic realm wouldn’t you have your eyes back
for dramatism
Jerrick Kamris: no i like to imagine myself without eyes
Harbinger: that’s fair
Jerrick Kamris: because i forgot what having them was like
and also what i looked like with them in the first place
Drecarus: “Oh, geniuses are never understood by the masses. Let alone by aliens. Every stitch was done with expert precision. Every second of her re-awakened pain is a dirge to the heavens themselves.”
“I don’t expect a human who can barely hold a dozen thoughts at once to comprehend, but this is true ART.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Look;” his hand brushes her face as she screams in pain. “She can’t even get rid of the memory of me. She so dearly wants to, but she cannot forget. Not anymore.”
Jerrick Kamris: “I’ll put a stop to this,” Jerrick says with a growl. “Look forward to it.” BREAK PROBE
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
you come back to awareness
She’s no longer staring at you.
All she’s saying is “TO-MO-ROW. TO-MO-ROW. TO-MO-ROW.;”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick takes a deep breath, calming himself. “Tomorrow, indeed.”
Harbinger: so was that consequence free for Jerry
the House needs to know
Tau: “[LG] That… that is ‘new’.”
Jerrick Kamris: hey i gained two insanity
Kahnak Rith: yeah he got two insanity
thx ng gming
Harbinger: I mean the LAST level
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He gave you
a psychotic enemy
that’s a consequence
Kahnak Rith: no thats xp
Rogue Trader GM (GM): xp
is a consequence
Harbinger: 1. that and 2. I agree but
I needed to know for betz
Rogue Trader GM (GM): yes consquence
WHAT’S EVERYONE ELSE DOING
Kahnak Rith: Shaper things to prepare for _tomorrow
Mordecai:Collecting data on Rith
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The kroot are making what appears to be microbead calls.
Jerrick Kamris: did i get anything else from barrow
like fighting style/tactics etc
or was it just weird visions
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Barrow favours melee, like her spiritual successor
Unlike her she prefers to wield a back up weapon for pesky enemies who don’t stay in melee
She was an expert at ambushes, but it’s hard to say if any of THAT remains now.
Por’la Kel’mara :“How do these… fights tend to play out?” Kel asks the Tau. “Simply dropped off in a pit, and told to go? hidden in places, playing cat and mouse? Or…”
Tau: “[Tau] Any and all. Sometimes we are dropped off together and must fight. Sometimes we are told to head to some part of the arena to escape. Sometimes we must kill our opponents for tokens; those without enough tokens are slain at the end of the day.”
“They usually deliver us by the eldar’s FTL technology.”
Por’la Kel’mara :“I see. Variety for entertainment, I suppose.”
Danielle Seamus: “If any of you require the Emperor’s blessing or my absolution, I will be at your disposal until they take us.”
Por’la Kel’mara :“If it does not involve being shot at, or held a tgunpoint…”
Jerrick Kamris: “It might be of benefit,” Jerrick says, looking to the masked woman. “Tomorrow will be a… Trying day.”
Harbinger: (Confession requires you to actually confess what you consider your sins)
(Blessing is just a blessing)
Jerrick Kamris: oh
well confession would take all night

so just a blessing for me~
Danielle Seamus: “A spiritu dominatus,
Domine, libra nos,
From the lighting and the tempest,
Danielle Seamus: Our Emperor, deliver us.”
Old Man: AWMEN."
Danielle Seamus: The next gain of Corruption is reduced by 1.

Tau: “Remember; cash in your influence before you enter their portal tommorrow. Get them togive you weapons. or better armour, or maps. Do not make the mistake of demanding them, but find more… subtle methods.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): That is his last piece of advice as he curls up to sleep
Por’la Kel’mara nods. “I understand. I will let the others know as well.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): SLEEP MUSIC IF NO-ONE ELSE CARES
Mordecai:doo doo doo
Jerrick Kamris: ya np
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You wake up to the boots of the Kabalites.

Jerrick Kamris: hup
Danielle Seamus: I’m not even paranoid
Eldar: “[LG] The dregs are still here? Good. Then you will have to fight twice as hard to make up for the dead.”
Danielle Seamus: “Haaaaaangh”

Eldar: “[LG] Ha. It does not matter. Almost everyone else is re-captured. Or dead.” She nods at the kroot. “Your informing us is appreciated. We will provide you with maps, as promised, Kroot.”
Danielle Seamus: wait there were WITNESSES
Kahnak Rith: we maybe should have been
Danielle Seamus: augh
Jerrick Kamris: yes
Kahnak Rith: a little more secretive
Jerrick Kamris: so
many
Kahnak Rith: we were all in a big room
Danielle Seamus: I haven’t been very clear on the layout
Por’la Kel’mara :
Danielle Seamus: ughhhhhhh
Por’la Kel’mara :*>__________>
Kahnak Rith: we’re in a big room with glowing purple walls and a glass floor iirc
also a glass ceiling
so people can watch from above
Danielle Seamus: I thought that included interposing walls but that’s my fault for ASSUMING
Kahnak Rith: well hopefully they didn’t kill lee
we just have to save her
Jerrick Kamris: when you assuming you make an ass out of u and ming
Kahnak Rith: she’s still contract-bound
Forbidden Kindred Leader: “[LG] We take boon with thanks; but it is our better honour to ruin the plans of the traitor Kahnak Rith and her employers. We spit on their names, and their meat, in the name of myself HRRITHCK.”
Danielle Seamus: and then the whole how did they locate them in such a big city considering they have no psykers
anyway, no time to ruminate on that
Rogue Trader GM (GM): They just said
Danielle Seamus: literally killing striking that kroot
Rogue Trader GM (GM): ’they’re attacking a port’
‘be on guard in ports’
‘pls give us maps’
Kahnak Rith: “It matters not, you will be killed and devoured regardless.”
god there goes all our favor
Rith: “You will end up like Charlabelle and the Maknor Kindred. Your meat will not even be devoured, your genes scattered to ash.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): er
Danielle Seamus leaps in front of the snitching kroot with a murderous intent that hasn’t been activated in a… long time. “s0oNerrrrr THaN yoU thiNK”
Kahnak Rith: I didn’t say that
Hrrithck: AS THIS GUY
Danielle Seamus: Killing strike frenzied dual lightning attack.
Wrath of the Righteous, Miracle Worker’d.
Eldar: “Yes, threats.” The kabalites sound bored. Who wants to go through first? They will be the first to meet the wild beasts we have today. Your mission is to reach the top of the arena."
Old Man: “OOO! OOO! PICK ME!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Your attacks go right through him.

Danielle Seamus: if they didn’t come through with me

Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick looks to the old man. "I’d advise waiting a few moments before continuing through."
Old Man: “Yeaaaaah. Can I get a different place from her? I wanted the wild beasts.”
Eldar: “Of course. It’s no fun if you die STRAIGHT away.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The portal changes colour.
The Old Man hands Jerrick something as he passes by and jumps into the portal with a smug smile backwards
He finally reveals his face to you all.

MissBarrow: Barrow da bess
Shino G.: oh capn my capn
Rogue Trader GM (GM): waterfox still isn’t working
Oh well
Shino G.: aeroplane
Rogue Trader GM (GM): where did you even find that font
Shino G.: we better get an aeroplane
i have pilot(flyers)
MysteryGuy: what font
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Dauros is graffiti-ing the map, it doesn’t matter
Captain N. Barrow: What
I haven’t graffiti’d anything right now.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The sky around Penance’s moon is pitch black, the only light to see by granted by burning skull torches and the living immolation of people on the wraithbone’s city’s lower tiers. Even so, it is clear to you all that the Kroot standing in front of you is Kahnak Rith.
GAME START
Mandala Sigyn: (I forget, is the plan to mention that we know Rith or deny any former acquaintance?)
Harbinger: (there isn’t a plan in-character yet since we just saw her)
(I’m personally gonna keep quiet though)
Mandala Sigyn: (I forget the context so I’m not sure if it would be good to mention it or not)
Captain N. Barrow: Am I on the ship
Or somehow heare
here*
Harbinger: (you’re here like we keep saying)
Captain N. Barrow: “Rith!”
“I still haven’t found a halfway decent bodyguard. Come back.”
Harbinger: (contexually we’re delivering slaves to be evaluated by the Dark Eldar)
Harbinger gives a blank deadpan look to the Lord-Captain.
Captain N. Barrow: “Oh no, it’s not Rith again is it? I swear all Kroot look the same.”
“Sorry Mr/Mrs Kroot, I mistook you for someone else… again.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Amazing)
Mandala Sigyn slaps her forehead.
Kahnak Rith: “…You were shockingly correct. What are you doing here?”
Captain N. Barrow: “Illicit evil things.” Barrow’s countenance becomes almost comedically grave.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Iron Jake, at the head of the party, is trying very hard not to laugh.
Kahnak Rith: “You have chosen your grounds wisely, then.”
Danielle Seamus: “I should be asking you the same thing,” Harbinger growls, a dark mien suddenly blanketing her face.
Iron Jake stops smiling.
Mandala Sigyn: “Yes, this is an… odd circumstance to meet you in, Kahnak Rith.”
“Pray tell, what are you doing here?”
Danielle Seamus: “The Inquisition does not normally have a locale like this in mind when recruiting xenos, mercenary.”
Kahnak Rith: “It is a… what do your kind say… stopover point? I am currently between missions.”
“It is a strange coincidence.”
Iron Jake: “Fethin’ xenos and their fethin’ holiday choices…”
Captain N. Barrow: “Suffer not the Xenos on paid vacation.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Well, we’d find it most kind if you were quiet about our previous meetings. We have our own business here, and would prefer you not get involved.”
Danielle Seamus scratches her chin idly. “I have a better idea.”
Danielle Seamus: “Consider your holiday on hiatus, mercenary.” Present a corpse-starch sack to Rith. “Welcome to the slave pens.”
“Standard Inquisitorial Overtime compensation applies, et cetera, et cetera.”
Kahnak Rith: “…At your command, boss. My Kindred has been… unpopular here anyway.”
“Even among my kind, much less the Eldar, or the Orks.”
Danielle Seamus: “Well, you should get the opportunity to eat your way to the top of the popularity charts without too much waiting. Shall we?”
Kahnak Rith will slip on the sack and fall in line.
Danielle Seamus: Dani’s authoritative personality fades as she falls into line as a huddled slave once again.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright.
What now?
Danielle Seamus: Time to present ourselves to the Kabal of the Fallen Star?
Mandala Sigyn: Yeah
MysteryGuy: hup
Jerrick Kamris: er
hup
Mandala Sigyn lines up next to Iron Jake. “Now come, /slaves/, we must present you before our hosts become antsy.”
Iron Jake: “Yeah, what she said. Don’t say anything outta order unless you wanna a flame bath.They like their flame baths here.”
Jake points upwards. “The posh lot live up higher in the towers; only the entr’tainment and the detritus live down here.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Works for me,” Mandala says.
Jake: “Might have to try a few; the lower lords and ladies tend to get murdered a lot, so there’s usually a war to see who gets whose’s stuff between relatives.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Just going to pick a random tower and head on up?
Mandala Sigyn: uh… is there no-one to ask?
Harbinger: (maybe someone should roll xenos lore to guess which one is most likely to pay dividends)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): there’s a lot of people milling around down here, yes

Jerrick Kamris: cheater
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mordecai, Jerrick, you know the Dark Eldar share the same need for ornamentation and security as ’mon’keighs’, though their idea of both is slightly askew. The richer- and presumably still living Eldar will likely live in the tower that looks the most like a sadomasochist’s dream.
Harbinger: ohhhhhh so the one with the constant echoes of screaming orgasms and/or deaths that I can’t get out of my head
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yes
exactly
Mandala Sigyn: Alright, let’s head for that one
Danielle Seamus covers her ears slightly as she shuffles in line.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): One of the towers, though smaller than the ones that surrounded, appears plated in golden bone of some dead creature as well as what looks like scraps of skin. As you head towards, you pass a lot of kroot in cloaks masking their tribe (and scent) from Rith, as well as several Orks shouting from atop plasteel crates at crowds of humans and xenos/.
Assuming you don’t stop and take a look at the horrible, horrible delights of the city, you arrive in front of the tower gathered by the snake-people you’ve seen around as apparent hired muscle.
Mandala Sigyn bows to the snake creatures as the group approaches. “We wish to speak to the slave master,” she says in Low Gothic.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The creatures wear black armour across what could be called their torso, four arms holding blades and guns protruding from their serpentine bodies.
Snake: “Sssss. The slave master is the Archon, who is the master of all on Penance. We are all slaves in his presence. Did you mean to inquire about Lady Ervalia, Dracon of the Kabal of the Fallen Sun, purger of worlds? She graces this abode with her glorious presence.”
Mandala Sigyn: (uh… did I?)
Jerrick Kamris: (probably)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (possibly! they seem to be saying whoever she is she lives here)
Jake scratches his beard, mouthing ‘Dracon’ to himself over and over.
Mandala Sigyn: “Indeed. We have prisoners we believe will be of some interest to her, and perhaps even the Archon.”
Snake: “Ssssss. We doubt it. The Dracon is busy. Why should a small matter like the tiny slaves you have here take her interest? They look weak. Unarmed humans, and… what IS that?” The snake-creature peers at Kel’mara.
Mandala Sigyn: “It is known as a tau, from a far off star-system,” Mandala says. “And they are not weak, far from it. My husband and I captured them when we took their frigate under our control; they are apparently the crew of a rogue trader vessel.”
“Officers, in fact,” she says with a grin.
Iron Jake: “Fought like a bleedin’ daemon, they did. Especially the one with the stupid hair. She murdered our murder servitors by herssel’!”
Iron Jake pointedly does not look at anyone in particular with that comment.
Harbinger: (THERE’S ONLY ONE FEMALE SLAVE WITH HAIR AND IT’S ME)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (I
know)
(: D)
Jerrick Kamris: (hey man you don’t know he could be talking about anybody)
Snake: “Have they been blooded? Ssss. Even if they are strong as you say, they could not be ready for the rigours of the coliseum. Humans break so easily.”.
Mandala Sigyn: “Blooded? We lost many crew to these… creatures… and we wish to recoup some of our losses.”
Danielle Seamus glances over to Kahnak Rith.
Mandala Sigyn: “If the river of blood they let on our ship is not sufficient, then none in your coliseum are.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The snake-people stare at each other, and start whispering in a sibilant language at each other.
Danielle Seamus: Harbinger glances at the reptilian xenos and then makes a small throat-slitting gesture while looking at Rith.
Kahnak Rith: (Now I gotta remember what I can DO argh)
Mandala Sigyn kicks Harbinger in the back of her knee. “Don’t even try anything, girl, or it’s the neuro-whips for you again!”
Danielle Seamus: “Hiiiiiiii~”
Danielle Seamus falls to a kneel sullenly.
Kahnak Rith quickly darts at the snake while Mandala is busy with Dani, and leaps forward at its throat.
Snake: "You have no proof of this but your own words. Begone, human, until you have some proof of these slaves’ puisssssanc-
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The snake is
suprised
Kahnak Rith: what kinda bonus is that

Mandala Sigyn: hahaha oh god
Jerrick Kamris: hooo man
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The snake’s head flies backwards, hitting the wall. The other snake falls back from Rith, weapons armed.
Mandala Sigyn: “You wished for proof, snake-thing. Now, you have it,” Mandala says, stepping forward.
Kahnak Rith: “Hungry.” Rith will tear into the fallen snake and chow down.
7 temp wounds :d
Danielle Seamus: :d
Kahnak Rith: er 9
Snake: “Sss. Yes. I will tell the Dracon.” The creature shakes its head. “I always told my sister to pay more attention.”
Mandala Sigyn: “And now she is kroot food. Let that be a lesson for the future.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Yes. Fire faster.” the creature slithers inside through a double door of bone.
It takes a couple of minutes and there’s no response from inside. The only sounds are the closest proselyting Ork. Do you wait, or do something else?
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick will stare at the snake man expressionlessly.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The dead one?
Or the one that went inside and is no longer there
Jerrick Kamris: oh wait he isn’t
there

Mandala Sigyn will attempt to discern if an ambush is being set up.

Rogue Trader GM (GM): There are shadowy figures at the windows of the tower. Rith can tell they’re armed, but none of the weapons are as of yet pointed at you.

Jake: “What’s an interview.”
Mandala Sigyn: “It’s where people question you for a /respectable/ job position.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “I’ve been on respectable jobs. You don’t murder the entire crew and just take their stuff.”

Danielle Seamus: “Push me through the door,” Harbinger whispers to her as she flies by.
Kahnak Rith: Finaly
I get to slam Dani into something
After avoiding the grab, I’ll grab Dani instead and throw her into the door with all my horrible xenos strength.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Danielle, you go flying through a gap in the bone doors, arriving in a short hallway of statues of Eldar being murdered. At the end is an active webway portal.
As you land, you can hear the warped sounds of someone clapping.
Danielle Seamus: “Wooogh.”
Kahnak Rith looks between Mandy/Jake and the door.
Mandala Sigyn rushes in. “Emperor damn it! Get back… who’s clapping?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Ephemeral laughter answers Sigyn.
Danielle Seamus: Dani stands up shakily and falls into line again, looking warily at the portal.
Mandala Sigyn: “Look, if we’re going to do business, it’s easier if we’re meeting face to face.”
Voice: “Yes. Then come in.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The voice echoes throughout the hallway.
Mandala Sigyn: “Through the portal, then.” Mandala prods the slaves forward.
Jerrick Kamris: hup
Kahnak Rith: hup
Mordecai:hup
You all arrive in a large room on a transparent floor, showing the dizzying distance beneath it to the ground below. Eldar soldiers, wearing black armour and clothes decorated with spikes and skulls are sitting at the edges of the room, watching you with lazy eyes. The snake-person you saw before is writhing, pinned to a pillar by some sort of sword. At the opposite end of the room to the portal you entered sits a xenos woman in black armour, runes painted in what looks like blood, with tied back hair of the same colour. She is sitting on a throne of skulls, next to a cage where a humanoid creature of indeterminate age and species sits mewling.
Lady Ervalia: “Welcome, Mon’keighs.”
Mandala Sigyn bows, hiding her disgust.
Lady Ervalia: “A goddess of warstands before you.bow deep, and drink deeply of my presence.”
Harbinger: (is this Eldar? High Gothic? Low Gothic?)
Kahnak Rith: (Tau?)
(Kroot?)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Eldar)

Jerrick Kamris: you’d have to EA it
Mandala Sigyn smacks Kel on the back of the head. “Translate, worm.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He does so, crying about human brutality all the way
Mandala Sigyn: After hearing the translation, Mandala commands everyone to bow deeply. “We are honored to be in your presence, Dracon.”
Danielle Seamus: bowin’
Kahnak Rith same.
Elvaria: “[Low Gothic] Of course you are. Your slaves are almost impressive, human. That Kroot and the Sister of Battle fight with ferocity, despite their inferior races.” She waves her hand. Images appear in the middle of the room, showing Rith’s murder from multiple angles. “The last death rattle is a beautiful thing to savour, though it is a pity she was caught by surprise. There’s no time for them to REALISE.”
“And the eating! The desecration of the corpse! Enthralling. Oh, I do love Kroot; they make such brilliant pets.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Indeed, even if they are overeager to feed and kill too quickly as a result.”
Elvaria: “That can be changed, through training. And pain. Though sometimes business must come before pleasure. Speak.”
Harbinger: (…I just realized we could get some PF)
(from SELLING us)
Mandala Sigyn: (well, yes)
(that was the plan)
Harbinger: (I love slavery)
Kahnak Rith: (i love capitalism)
Mandala Sigyn: “As you are now aware,” Mandala says, her eyes moving to the impaled snake for a moment, “these are the former officers of a rogue trader vessel, with quite a reputation. I believe they would make a most excellent addition to your… collection, and I need to cover my losses from my battle with their crew.”
“In other words, I believe we could aid each other.”
Elvaria: “Yes. There is just the thing these slaves would be PERFECT for. Next question, human; why should I buy them from you instead of just taking them by right of conquest?” She says it matter of factly, draining a nearby slave of blood with a knife into a wine glass.
Mandala Sigyn: “First: this could be the start of a… business relationship, and I have means of obtaining certain things that you might have a great deal of trouble acquiring otherwise. Second, I now control the resources of a Rogue Trader dynasty, with all that entails. Third, if you tried, I might be tempted to simply release these slaves, and see if you fare against them better than my crew did.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She does not look entirely intimidated by that last bit. “That sounds like an enormous amount of effort, honestly.”
Mandala Sigyn: “How so?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “You’re asking me to AVOID the possibility of a fight, mon’keigh, for some murky promises of future rewards!”
Captain N. Barrow: (Because living in the here and now served them so well)]
Harbinger: (unfortunately these are the Eldar that decided not to learn from that mistake

)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She still seems relatively on the fence about not killing you, Mandala.
Danielle Seamus stumbles onto Mandala from apparent exhaustion, grasping clumsily at her silken garments.
Mandala Sigyn: (sorry, went to the bathroom)
Captain N. Barrow: (Lemme fight her I can fight her)
Mandala Sigyn: “Well, there’s one other option,” Mandala says, pulling out a grenade and taking out the pin. “I can take away any hope of your precious slaves making it to the pit, and maybe even hurt a couple of you in the process.”
(basically I’m turning the grenade into a makeshift deadman’s switch)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (alright)
Elvaria: “Ooooooh. Now it’s back to being interesting!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): She waves you down. “Alright, alright. Don’t mark the carpet. You might hurt my precious father.” She coos and pours the dregs of her wine glass into the cage next to her. The creature laps it up, hungrily.
Jake looks down at the translucent floor, with a confused look.
Mandala Sigyn whispers to Jake. “I think her father’s the one in the cage.”
Jake: “I was wondering where the carpet was, meself.”
Mandala Sigyn: “All of these eldar seem horrifically corrupted, and likely insane as well. I do not know how they are not warp spawn yet.”
Peer bonuses
Mandala Sigyn turns back to the Dracon, smiling. “Very well. Let’s negotiate our terms, then.”
Mandala Sigyn: Mandala fits the pin back into the grenade, but still holds it out nonetheless.
Elvaria: “Yes, yes. Let’s get the tedious part over with.” As she speaks low gothic, you notice her lips haven’t actually moved since she talked in Eldar; the sound is coming from her collar.
Mandala Sigyn: (should we just roll this bit out?)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yeah go on
It’s a contested Barter check

Captain N. Barrow: That’s how it was ruled before.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yeah, but that’s when I thought it would make people ask BFORE
Anyway
The deal for the slaves gives you a paltry 2 PF
hmm
This isn’t technically an ENDEAVOUR but as Mandala was negotiating
Mandala, add +1 for Hard Bargain
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The Dark Eldar gives you riches that could be parlayed into trade routes and market manipulations back in Imperial spac.e
Danielle Seamus: PF 127 get
Mandala Sigyn: Woo 3 PF
Rogue Trader GM (GM): For less than a dozen slaves, that’s incredibly lucrative
This eldar has a lot of money to throw around on this, whoever she is
Mandala Sigyn: “Excellent,” Mandala says, putting away her goods. “Now, I suppose you have some entertainment to get to, so we’ll just be on our way. Busy schedule, and all that.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “And where are you going?”
Mandala Sigyn sighed, expecting this sudden-yet-inevitable betrayal. “Back to my ship, of course.”
Mandala Sigyn: “What you do with these fools is now your concern, not mine.”
Elvaria: “Oh, that’s fine, mon’keigh. Though I thought you would want to see your little slaves in ACTION at least! But do know you’re being watched. If you should happen to visit a certain Hierarch or ‘Kaptin’, I will know. And you WILL be punished for it.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Hmm.” Mandala does some mental calculations. “How long would it take? I have to get back to Imperium space within a year, and the warp can be… finnicky.”
Danielle Seamus is performing calculations of an entirely different scope.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Commoragh is minutes away, dear! We don’t use the… warp.” Her face contorts, hand slightly cracking her glass. “Witchery is for the dead and the damned. The Archon is throwing a grand tournament in Commorragh in a few days. I plan to enter your little team of psychopaths. Oh, won’t Hierach Aldran be THRILLED when his precious Orks get murdered.” She hisses. “Wouldn’t you like to waaatch? I know humans love a good slaughter almost as much as Eldar. It’s one of your few good traits!”
Elvaria: “Of course, the Cult will probably kill them all before they reach the final, but what a show they will put on till then!”
Mandala Sigyn: “Hmm… an invitation to Commoragh. How could I refuse such a unique opportun- what Cult?”
Oh, of the Serrated Blade, of course. They’ve always had ties with us. We provide them with such wonderful opponents to test their skills. Succubus Irkalla will be there herself. I think she’ll even enter. It’s been so long since I’ve seen her in action…: Her face wanders off into reminiscing, a smile on her lips flecked with blood.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (argh)
(I gotta stop doing that)
Harbinger: (man you are bad at that :D)
Mandala Sigyn: “Interesting. Well, I hope it is as good as you say; I do not wish to waste my time on a boring fight.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Oh, trust me. It will be a fight to DIE for.”
Mandala Sigyn: “That’s not ominous at all!”
Danielle Seamus shifts her glance uneasily to each figure in the room.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The slaves are herded off by some of the snake people. Elvaria, evidently already bored, tells Iron Jake and Mandala the time to arrive on her ship, Woe to the Conquered.
Captain N. Barrow: Woe whoa
Jake: “Alright, lass, NOW what?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Barrow you’re being
imprisoned
Harbinger: she’s not even posing as a slave
what are you doing
Rogue Trader GM (GM): oh right

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Barrow you’re being imprisoned into a ticket to a glorified boxing match

Harbinger: (have us slaves been separated from Barrow/Mandy/Jake now that the sale has been finalized)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yes
Danielle Seamus: “Kamris,” Dani whispers to Jerrick as they’re being led away.
“Can you send a message to your choir on the Sojourn, for Sigyn and Barrow?”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick nods.
Danielle Seamus: “Good. ‘Dracul is on Commoragh. Find out any information you can on him. Also investigate this ’Hierarch’ and ‘Kaptin’. Both are likely rivals of the Cult of the Serrated Blade and could be instrumental in bringing them down.’”

Danielle Seamus: “How long has it been since you’ve fought Orks, Kahnak Rith?”
“…have you ever had the chance, Genetor?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You are thrown into cells deeper into the tower. The cells are a lone, thin line of metal over a pit of spikes, two of you to a cage.
Danielle and Rith are put in the same cage, Mordecai and Kel’mara opposite them.
Harbinger: no jerry eh
Kahnak Rith: “Not long. There are many orks here.”
Jerrick Kamris: i got a special place im sure
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick’s cell already has an occupant, a black-haired, pale-skinned woman banging on the opposite wall, screaming curses.
Jerrick Kamris: oh
or that
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick, you immediately feel your powers leaving you as you enter
and blindness returning
The vision of the woman fades.
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick scowls as he enters the cell. “Figures.”
Captain N. Barrow: Bang her
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The woman stops shouting and there is a silence.
Mordecai:“I believe the first conflict after I came aboard was dealing with orks. I am prepared for dealing with them.”
Familiar Voice : Oh. This is RICH. Barrow’s lapdog. God-Emperor, could this day get ANY worse? YOU WON’T EVEN GIVE ME ANY AMASEC, YOU MONSTERS!"
Danielle Seamus: “How the time flies.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The voice is loud enough that Danielle can hear it, apparently in the next cell over.
Danielle Seamus: “…did someone make this infiltration a family reunion and neglect to tell me?”
Kahnak Rith: “It seems everyone is showing up, yes.”
Voice: “Oh, and the Interrogator. I should’ve blown you out of the sky over Beta-Psi! And that bastard Bastille!”
Jerrick Kamris: whose voice is it anyway i have total recall you know!!!!
Harbinger: it’s called dramatic timing jerry
Kahnak Rith: theres no talent to fight dramatic timing
Jerrick Kamris: “…Could you keep your mewling quiet? This is unbearable enough as it is,” Jerrick mutters, settling into a corner of the cell away from the voice.
Captain N. Barrow: Is it Lee
Kahnak Rith: is it servibelle
Oh, I’m sorry, witch! Truly. I’d hate to give poor little baby astropath a headache now. Be careful, you’ll trip into the spikes. Oh, Emperor, is Barrow here? I can’t wait to stab HER for those lies she said about me! Do you know, Jerrack- that was your name wasn’t it? She claimed I was a PIRATE. A pirate! As if everything I do that someone could find out about isn’t at least partially legal by Imperial law! The Ma’Kao dynasty does NOT pirate!:
Rogue Trader GM (GM): why
do I keep
what am I DOING
Jerrick, it is Lee.
Danielle Seamus: who knew Lee was a secret psyker
Jerrick Kamris: “How childish,” is all he replies.
Lee: “Chil- YOU WORK FOR BARROW.”
Danielle Seamus: “Lady Sun Lee? The Rogue Trader?”
Lee: “Yes, ‘Daniel’ or whatever your name was.Why did I even let Dracul talk me into that?”
Jerrick Kamris: “And yet you’re the one throwing tantrums. Childish.”
Danielle Seamus: Harbinger’s face scrunches up. “With a reputation that overstates her competence, if she’s wound up imprisoned here.”
“Also, probably because it was unthinkably lucrative.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Lee pokes Jerrick in the shoulder. “I am working out my aggression. There was a slight miscalculation. It has been known to happen. Even to moi.”
Lee: “It was EXTREMELY lucrative, I do have to admit. It still is, if I can ever get out of here to reap the rewards.”
“But I suppose lesser humans wouldn’t think of stealing an STC under the noses of the Eldar.”

Lee: “And it will be when I sell it to- wait, you’re new. What happened to that other Tech-priest? The one with the voice that sounded like he was dancing on the edge of madness?”
Danielle Seamus: “I’m doubting it’s even worth the trouble, personally.”
Lee: “The one Dracul always raved about?”
Jerrick Kamris: “He died. Painfully, I hope.”
Mordecai:“I am Genetor Mordecai Mordecai. My predecessor Jevican Draklinus danced at the edge of madness until he fell off, then he was dealt with as the heretek he was.”
Kamris: “Ah, a silver lining. I don’t suppose you were sent here by your master to get me out, Seamus…? Because if so, I take back everything bad I ever said about you. Most of it, anyway.”
Mordecai:jerry why are you
Jerrick Kamris: why AM i

Lee: “Throne, what is WITH tech-priests and heresy?”
Mordecai:“It would be less frequent if we knew.”

Lee pokes Jerrick in the shoulder again. “Can you stop pouting and use your mind powers to get us out of here? What are you even waiting for?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): is that another deceive check I see Danielle
Danielle Seamus: I believe I can!
I’m not intentionally lying about anything
Jerrick Kamris: “Do you honestly think they’d put me in a room where my abilities were still functional?” Jerrick looks up to Lee’s voice. “Even Eldar aren’t that stupid.”
Lee: “I wouldn’t be surprised. These Eldar seem to not understand psykers as much as their sistren, you know. The little psychotic darlings torture them, mostly.”
Jerrick Kamris: “They certainly do. They put me in a room with you, after all,” Jerrick says dryly.
Danielle Seamus: “I’d characterize them more as Eldar-lite.”
“Maybe we should call these the Light Eldar?”
Mordecai:“I will make a note of that for possible future classification.”
Lee: “As for the STC- No, Seamus, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Well, if that’s the price i must pay, so be it. I heard about it from a planet of the most incompetent Mechanicum members I’ve ever seen. The Cult of the Serrated Blade have it- their Succubus has it as a trophy. A nasty piece of work, she is.I did some digging- she murdered the previous Barrow. What is with her family line, anyway? 5000 years of nothing then Alexandria and ‘N’. Also, what kind of name is… oh, whatever.”.
“She carries it around her- the archeotech looks like a crown of gold.I’m not sure how it works. I don’t think the Eldar can even use it- she just likes taunting humans who recognise it.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): *their leader
Lee wouldn’t know what a Succubus is, my bad >_>
Kahnak Rith: “That would be the one who will fight in the arena we are going to, I think? That makes finding her simple, if we wish to endure it.”
Danielle Seamus: “That’s one down. We need to excel and somehow draw her out.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Yes, I was planning to enter a team in their stupid arena. I got backstabbed. And not even by…” She trails off. “Anyway. That’s about the size of it.”
Kahnak Rith: “We kill until she comes out or there is no one left. Seems easy to me.”
Danielle Seamus: “Kamris, try to send and receive updates from the Sojourn whenever you’re not being impeded. We need to coordinate as best as we can.”
“And not quite, Kahnak Rith. We can’t just slaughter everyone in sight. They want to see a… spectacle.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Alright, Kamris, sent your message?_)
Jerrick Kamris: “I’ll do what I can,” Jerrick says distantly, his expression carefully neutral ever since the mention of the succubus.
(i sent a message on the way to the cells, i’ll send another one whenever we get out and i can tho)

Harbinger: ‘Dracul is on Commoragh. Find out any information you can on him. Also investigate this ’Hierarch’ and ‘Kaptin’. Both are likely rivals of the Cult of the Serrated Blade and could be instrumental in bringing them down.’
and then anything else Jerrick wanted to add
Captain N. Barrow: “That mostly sounds boring Mandy, you can do it. Serrated Blade thingy sounds interesting though.”
“Maybe I can become their cult leader.”

Alright I need to take that half hour break now

Mandala Sigyn: (brb)

Jerrick Kamris: i’ll stare at the wall and by the wall i mean nothing because i can’t see :D
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Well then
Kahnak Rith: I’ll think about glorious arena food.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): I guess we could CALL it for today instead?
Have I been outhgmed
Kahnak Rith: we do seem to be missing a lot of people
Danielle Seamus: not for the ARENA
Kahnak Rith: true
the ground team’s all here
Rogue Trader GM (GM): yeah but mandala/barrow shenanigans happen BEFORE that
Danielle Seamus: and we’ve never shot anything out of sequence
ever
Kahnak Rith: that just means you have to do it in such a way as to preserve space-time
Rogue Trader GM (GM): I guess you can get shipped to the planet FIRST
also Jerrick cannot tell Barrow about Lee right now
he only met Lee when he entered the psyker cage
Jerrick Kamris: ya
im just sayin’
when i get the chance
Danielle Seamus: you have to advance the plot sephs
Jerrick Kamris: i’m doin it
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alriiiight
Danielle Seamus: no matter how much you want to never end the campaign
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It’s the dawn of a new day
Jerrick Kamris: 72 hours remain
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You get some painful sleep on metal floors overnight.
Danielle Seamus rises off the keening metal floor, panting smoke as sweat runs down her temples.
Jerrick Kamris: hey this is pretty comfortable compared to what they gave me last time i stayed with deldar
didn’t even have a continental breakfast that time, the savages
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The slave trainer, an Eldar who speaks entirely through a servile human with its eyes torn out, tells you to wake up and prepare to die, as you’re being shipped to Comorragh.
Danielle Seamus: “How polite of them.”
Kahnak Rith rises. “They are honest.”
Eldar: “You are lucky,” he says through his translator. “Your skills need to be sharp to impress. The normal torture has been skipped. Praise the Dracon, the soon-to-be-Hierarch for her forgiveness.”
Danielle Seamus : MENTAL NOTE
Mordecai:“This would be awful if I could still feel pain.” Mordecai mutters, rising.
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick just shuffles out wordlessly.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): A group of human slaves of apparent slight superiority try and herd you out of your cells, using shock sticks and wielding devices of more intricate make that look like whips. The Eldar soldier steps back, rolling his eyes and holding a piece of fabric to his nose.
Harbinger: eye rolling, the universal language
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick, as soon as you step out, a slave affixes a collar to your neck; you only have time for a short message in your freedom before your blindness returns.
Jerrick Kamris:

Rogue Trader GM (GM): What do you say?
Jerrick Kamris: I’ll tell them sun lee is here, and that the leader of the serrated blade has the STC and wears it like a crown
and uh
idk if there was anything else
we needed to get out
Harbinger: ‘eh’
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
The rest of you are also blindfolded. Rith has an entire mask, filled with pungent chemicals that erase her ability to smell (-40 to any smell test/tracking)
The eldar marches you forward, until you end up in some echoing surface that feels like the same ground you were on in the Craftworld. Your blindfolds are removed, revealing you to be in a small room on a wraithbone vessel, a small window showing Penance’s moon and the world below it.
Eldar: “We destroyed it, you know. The creatures of so-called law died screaming to the last. Penance. What a human name; disgustingly puritanical. Punishment is to be enjoyed.”

oh god that rogue trader escape artist skill
finally
Harbinger: we meet again, contortionist
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Did Mandala get that mutation, I need to check
Eldar: “Stupid. You try that again, I will kill you. As long as the Kroot makes it there, nothing matters.”
There is not the slightest bit of a shudder as the ship leaves its moorings, heading to the opposite side of the planet.
Danielle Seamus: Harbinger’s eyes blaze as she struggles sullenly against her bonds.
Eldar: “Slaves. It is the Dracon’s wish that you see the heart of the universe with your own eyes. It is a gift that should not be wasted on filthy mon’keighs. Bask in the glory of Commorragh!”
Kahnak Rith: im popular
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick says nothing, staring eyelessly at what he can only assume is a wall.
Harbinger: (can’t stop laughing)
Danielle Seamus: Dani’s eyes widen as the scenery comes into focus.
Kahnak Rith: Rith stares with the same hungry expression she’s been trying to keep up.
Mordecai:Mordy is like ‘whoa’
There is no warning as the ship enters the webway, re-appearing next to a port that looks the size of a planet- a collection of spikey asteroid-like facilities, linking together through physical tunnels and what looks like webway portals of enormous scale. As the ship turns, though, you can see this is merely the fraction of the size of this city, against a backdrop of kaleidoscope colours are a multitude of planet-sized cities floating in the webway, giant ships looking like ants as they flit between the ‘outposts’. On a conservative estimate, this so-called city must have a population of trillions.“Welcome to Commorragh, aliens.” The Eldar chuckles. “It will be the last sight you will ever see.”
Mandala Sigyn: (sorry about that, got dragged off to dinner)
Danielle Seamus: “…that Eldar said their race was DYING!!!”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): MEANWHILE BACK ON THE SOJOURN
Danielle Seamus can’t conceal her indignation.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (‘the REAL eldar’)
The astropaths report to you, Mandala, of a final stunted message from Choir-Master Kamris:
Jerrick Kamris: I’ll tell them sun lee is here, and that the leader of the serrated blade has the STC and wears it like a crown
And then that they lost contact.
Mandala Sigyn relays that info to Barrow.
Mandala Sigyn: “So what’s our plan of attack?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (barrow has been kidnapped by rig people or tornadoes or something)
(It’s all up to you!)
Barrow shrugs.
Mandala Sigyn furrows her brow.
Mandala Sigyn: “Okay, so here’s how it pans out: we need to get the Heirarch and Kaptin to fight alongside us… without the Dracon knowing about it. Also, we need to track down Dracul. How do we handle that?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Barrow shrugs again, putting you in charge of investigative matters
Sanctity: “My Lady,” Sanctity announces herself as she enters the room with a deferential bow, “your appointment with the detestable xenos on the ‘Woe to the Conquered’ is nearly here.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Is it)
Mandala Sigyn: (it is?)
(and what’s the Woe to the Conquered?)
Kahnak Rith: (the deldar ship)
Harbinger: (the flagship of the Dracon)
(the one that will take you to Commorragh for the Games)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Sanctity opines you have a little time actually
If you wanted to do something else
but it’d better not take too long!
(Suck it Karma)
Harbinger: (all I wanted was to try and convey the plot)
Jerrick Kamris: time for some info gatherin’
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Sanctity overhears your deliberations with the captain, and also shrugs. “If you wanted to find out about a foul xenos, I suppose you’d ask a foul xenos! But we’ve lost all ours! THANK THE EMPEROR.”
Mandala Sigyn: “…Not all of them, though I’d rather not unseal the Amunet at this time… Hmm. Has Isha decided to sneak on board again?”

Rogue Trader GM (GM): There does not appear to be extra eldar psykers on board THIS time.
Jerrick Kamris: we do still have a crazy tau
Rogue Trader GM (GM): There’s also a fairly low number of psykers on Penance’s moon, as well, considering it’s supposed to be crawling with Eldar.
And Sanctity doesn’t know about the crazy Tau
Mandala Sigyn: “…One moment. I need to go check something.” Mandala goes to find the tau prisoners in the brig.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The water caste gets up immediately in his cell as you enter, promising the world and more from the Tau Empire with his safe return.
Mandala Sigyn: “Yes, yes,” Mandala says. “But first, I require your assistance.”
“I need to know what you know about the Heirarch of Commoragh, as well as a… ‘Kaptin’ something. With a K.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Oh? Well, I will be happy to help such a gue’la such as yourself, one who honours promises and deals and does not keep prisoners for no purpose! A Hierarch is a high ranking Eldar- EXTREMELY trustworthy; we have had many dealings with such a person and despite her unwillingness to join the Greater Good she has not yet done us wrong!”
Tau: “I BELIEVE it is the equivalent of what you humans call ‘Peers’.”
“As for the curious mangling of gothic, I see you are dealing with an orkoid creature. Kill it. There is no communication possible with such creatures, no diplomacy. It is regretable.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He shakes his head, a frown on his face that doesn’t seem to want to reach his eyes.

Harbinger: probably get a bonus because of the ease of that check

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yeah
He doesn’t appear to be straight up lying, but hr’s holding something back about the Eldar.
…He also has an extreme hatred for Orks, which might be colouring his opinion of them!
On the other hand, Orks.
Mandala Sigyn: “You… aren’t telling me something about the Eldar.”
“I need honesty, because I’m about to go over to their ship, and if I don’t come back in one piece, you get a visit to the interrogation room.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He scratches his head in a practiced, human gesture. “This is conjecture, but… there is something about them that turns the stomach. I did not want to mention this without proof, but I fear the Eldar engage in a lot of ork-like promotion in their society. It would suggest to me that a Hierarch could be very ruthless if the mood suited them and could even, Tau’va forbid, be capable of DECEIT.”
He whispers the last word.
“They spend a lot of time watching for assassination from their subordinates, I believe. Especially the Dracons.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I… see. And yes, these particular Eldar are of a peculiar sort, the kind that like whips and iron maidens.”
“And what of the Kaptin? Are they always unreasonable?”
Tau: “…They’re orks. Of course they are. They are fit for nothing but extermination. Oh, some of them pretend to be civilised- have their ‘boyz’ act as messengers, send crude threats- but they are animals. Animals, to the last squig.”
Mandala Sigyn: “That… can still be useful.”
“Alright, I think it’s time for me to get going. And don’t make any trouble; the guards are ordered to shoot on sight if you try anything.”
Oh DEAR.:
Tau: “Oh DEAR.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Yes. Given the circumstances of your capture, you’re already on thin ice. We are not inclined to be sympathetic to you in any case.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Sanctity voxes down that it’s time.
Mandala Sigyn heads on up to move to the eldar ship.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mandala, you, Jake and Barrow are escorted via shuttle to a raider-sized red ship with a shape like a pincer-claw of some ferocious xenobeast. You are immediately escorted to the deck by the snake-men, through smokey corridors of incense and the sounds of screaming creatures echoing from the bottom of the ship. You end up in some sort of giant viewport room, a translucent wall showing the space outside, with images on the solid walls showing previous space battles where the still-living crew of alien ships spilled screaming into the void.
The Eldar Dracon is waiting, along with a bodguard of eldar pirates, dressed in a more form-fitting dress that still happens to be covered in fresh blood. “Oh, slave trader. I am delighted you could still come. And the other two of you, I suppose. Please make sure your subordinates don’t make a mess, I just had this room cleaned of offal.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I do not believe that will be a concern,” Mandala said.
Mandala Sigyn looks out the window. “So, what happens now?”
Elvaria: “Watch.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The ship disappears from realspace in a blink.
(WARNING RE-USE)
There is no warning as the ship enters the webway, re-appearing next to a port that looks the size of a planet- a collection of spikey asteroid-like facilities, linking together through physical tunnels and what looks like webway portals of enormous scale. As the ship turns, though, you can see this is merely the fraction of the size of this city, against a backdrop of kaleidoscope colours are a multitude of planet-sized cities floating in the webway, giant ships looking like ants as they flit between the ‘outposts’. On a conservative estimate, this so-called city must have a population of trillions.
Elvaria: “Welcome to the city of blood. There will be enough to fill the streets after your slaves are done, little slave trader.” She smiles. “Especially after you help me kill the Hierarch.”

RogueTraderGM: The eldar disappear as suddenly as they came, the fleets and craftworld leaving in the same breath. The battle-scarred ships of the Ultramarines regroup, some heading back to Maccragge for repairs, leaving your small fleet alone save for the constant barrages of communications from Bastille’s flagship, newly arrived with the reinforcements, for Barrow to play some odd sport from his Schola Progenum days.
GAME
START
Danielle Seamus: “I highly advise against any form of chicanery that originated in the Progenium, Barrow,” Harbinger says with a wince, leaving her to the inevitable unwise decision.
Barrow has left the bridge to go talk with Kedan about the pirates she killed on-planet, ignoring all official strategising
Jerrick Kamris: time for an inter-ship comic relief baseball game, we got the xenos advantage we got this easy
Danielle Seamus: Head to the conference room to plan out our next move with the rest of the participating officers.
RogueTraderGM: (It’s the Schola, Jerrick)
(it’s obviously CRICKET)
Mandala Sigyn: Mandala appears on the bridge to speak to the rest of the officers, gritting her teeth against some unknown pain, and perhaps anger.
Mordecai:(we can still make that into a lighthearted comedy episode)
Mandala Sigyn: “Well, I have some good news, and some bad news,” Mandala says, trying to calm herself down.
Danielle Seamus: “In here,” Danielle calls from the adjacent room, “unless you want to get caught up in that foolishness.”
Mordecai:“Has there been any new development in your condition, Novator Sigyn?”
Mandala Sigyn moves to the conference room.
Jerrick Kamris: im there too
Mordecai:ME TOO
Mandala Sigyn: “Indeed, there has been. The good news is that I know the cause behind my… issues.”
Mordecai clank clank clank
Mandala Sigyn: “The bad news is it is the result of the Patrinova’s death. The battle for his successor has begun.”
Danielle Seamus: “Great! What, some kind of Navigator STD medicat- what”
Harbinger: *Paternova I assume you mean
Mandala Sigyn: “Indeed, Inquisitor. It only happens once every thousand years or so, but it is a major event. One Navigator from each House will compete to replace the Paternova, each seeking to eliminate each other until only one is left.”
(And yes I did)
RogueTraderGM: (god it’s not just me who screws up that name)
(whew)
Danielle Seamus: “There can only be one? Fascinating.”
Mordecai:“And your body is physically reacting in accordance with this? Fascinating. And only once a millenia, truly rare opportunity to observe.”
Jerrick Kamris: “This seems like… Unfortunate timing for us.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Traditionally, the elimination is done through a series of Navigator duels. However, underhanded methods are quite common, and thus I will be hiring several food tasters from here on.”
Danielle Seamus: “I’m guessing this isn’t going to be decided on Codex,” Danielle says, staring out the viewport at the planet below.
Mandala Sigyn: “Yes. The transformation into the Paternova requires significant mutation. Every possible candidate is now experiencing the preliminary metamorphosis into that state.”
“It is… unsettling.”
Mordecai:“It is intriguing.”
Danielle Seamus: “The timing may not be as bad as it initially seems. Holy Terra would be the port of call for something like this, presumably?”
Mandala Sigyn: “In theory, although there are two other candidates I will need to deal with before we get anywhere near Terra.”
Sanctity: surreptitiously checks her forehead for a third eye in a reflective piece of plating
Danielle Seamus: “Well isn’t that just peachy. Hey, Mordy, are peaches a real thing?”
Mordecai:“I would request you allow me to record the progression. Such a rare phenomena, beyond the scientific value, it would likely be worth a great deal in wealth as well.”

Mandala Sigyn: "Certainly, although I will require those records for my own use.
RogueTraderGM: Mordecai, the last peach was destroyed by the Mechanicum 2000 years ago to see what would happen if you set one on fire.
Mandala Sigyn: “The two other candidates we will need to deal with on this ship are Veda and Madrimar, who have both had the telltale reaction.”
Mordecai:“The last was destroyed two millenia ago in a tragic accident, I am afraid.”
Danielle Seamus: “Peachy.”
“Well, while you’ll be dealing with that, we should make preparations for getting to Sol, which brings us to the next topic point-”
Mandala Sigyn: "Wasn’t there a thing we were supposed to deal with?
Danielle Seamus: “-the Cult of the Serrated Blade. The Eldar who hold Dargon’s STC, and on sort of kind of relevant point enslaved more than a few officers on this ship.”
“The survivors probably still constitute like 25% of our crew, wouldn’t they…?”
Sanctity raises her hand.
Jerrick Kamris: “Approximately.”
Mordecai:“They were not on the throne or tempest, so likely.”
Danielle Seamus: “So, thoughts on this plan: we head back to Dargon for a restock and resupply, repairing our Nova Cannon along with that. Then we head for the Cult of the Serrated Blade and eliminate those depraved Eldar pirates once and for all.”
Mandala Sigyn: “So let’s murder those fuckers and make our way to Terra. There are… many reasons I wish to become Paternova. Not the least of which is the money and prestige it will bring to my House.”
Harbinger: (GM, where is the location of the Cult that was given to us?)
Por’la Kel’mara :(Comorragh?)
Mordecai:“Acceptable to myself, the STC will be necessary if we are to gain passage to Mars, as we know.”
Harbinger: (dear me no)
Por’la Kel’mara :(o)
Harbinger: (that’s the Dark Eldar home base, not a cult iirc)
Por’la Kel’mara :“I have no pressing matters and am happy to go where the rest wish.”
RogueTraderGM: (You haven’t)
(All you’ve heard is Jake saying they operate out of Commorragh)
(Nothing about where they’re most active)
(*originate from Commorragh)
Harbinger: (oh right now I remember)
Danielle Seamus: “In that case, I know who we need to talk to.”
Danielle Seamus snaps her fingers at Sanctity. “Bring the prisoner to the conference room.”
Jerrick Kamris: “Be sure to bring a few more escorts, as well. This one is slippery.”
Sanctity: “The heretek?”
RogueTraderGM: “The insane naked man who we captured with the heretek?”
Danielle Seamus: “Emperor right we still have him onboard.”
“RIGHT.”
RogueTraderGM: “That woman who, um, gives me the willies?”
“Mort-something.”
Danielle Seamus: “IRON JAKE SANCTITY IRON JAKE”
RogueTraderGM: “Jae Grimm- ohhhh.”
“RIGHT AWAY!”
Danielle Seamus: “By the Emperor’s will this is starting to feel like a penal voidship”
Mandala Sigyn: “It always ways, Inquisitor. You just didn’t realize it.”
“And which naked man was this?”
Sanctity brings the one-legged man in a considerable amount of chains. He looks considerably less beaten-by-eldar since you last saw him.
Sanctity: “There was a crazy naked man we rescued from the Orks! His name was Jake too!”
Harbinger: (“the GM is unimaginative”)
Jake: “Emperor, lass, don’t remind me I have something in common with that lunatic. Kept me up singing about having an extra leg, he did.”
Por’la Kel’mara :“Don’t forget the water caste and the less-than-sane fire caste commander…”
Mandala Sigyn: “Oh. I do not remember this; I believe I was absent for the Ork battle.”
Por’la Kel’mara :*water caste mabassador
Sanctity: “Oh, oh! Didn’t you capture a heretical mutant girl too?”
Danielle Seamus: “ONE thing at a time everyone”
Mordecai:oh god it’s the slideshow session
RogueTraderGM: (RITH: WHERE IS SHE NOW?)
Mandala Sigyn: “Why do we keep capturing these people? And where do we put them all?”
Danielle Seamus: “We have a really big brig. Courtesy of the former Eldar stewardship.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Perhaps we should actually figure out something useful to do with all of those people, rather than have them take up room in the brig?”
Por’la Kel’mara :“At least being prisoners allows us to reform them and make use of them. Much more preferable.”
Jake: “It’s not the worst flat I’ve ever lived in, but you really should take that bloody idjeet out of the Iron Maiden, it can’t be good for his complexion.”
Danielle Seamus: Harbinger gives a wry smile. “One thing at a time.”
“As for the evasive prisoner before us-”
Seize Jake by his free leg and pull him upside down to hang in front of me.
RogueTraderGM: Roll me

(just kidding)
Danielle Seamus: “Cult of the Serrated Blade. Location. Now.”
RogueTraderGM: “C-comorragh!”
“They’re gotta be there SOMETIME.”
He flails wildly, his chains smacking Sanctity in the face.
Danielle Seamus: “I’m gonna need something better than that. Either more alternative or more specific.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Yeah, even we’re not nuts enough to storm Commoragh by ourselves.”
RogueTraderGM: “Alright, alright! They sometimes visit some of the pirate stations out in the sector.”
“Like Grok’s Bolthole. Or Terminus Est if they’re feelin’ particularly insane oe morning.”
Danielle Seamus: “Hmm. Gives us the chance to set another trap for the Eldar, though we’ve all seen that comes with its own risk.”
Jake: “TOO BLOODY RIGHT.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Let’s not blow up Terminus Est, please? I don’t want to have to pay for those damages.”
Jake: “Aren’t you an Inquisitor or summin’? Don’t you have anything better to do than torture an old man?”
Danielle Seamus: “Quite right.” *drop*
“Take him back to his cell. Double the guard.”
(From Danielle Seamus): Stuck a note in his boot.
(To Danielle Seamus): does it say ‘no’
(From Danielle Seamus): ‘Stand by for deployment.’
Danielle Seamus: “…I think Commorragh may be our better option.”
(To Danielle Seamus): alright
Danielle Seamus: “…hear me out…!”
Mandala Sigyn: “Are you planning on bringing all of the Ultramarine battle barges with us?”
Danielle Seamus: “Just the opposite. We leave our entire fleet, save for the Harbinger’s Sojourn.”
Mandala Sigyn: “So, an infiltration mission, then?
Por’la Kel’mara :”Oh dear, I haven’t heard that sort of thing since Rith left."
Danielle Seamus points knowingly toward the stern of the ship. “And then we install the Mimic Engine we recovered from the Eldar we fought with Charlabelle.”
Danielle Seamus: “With that, we should be able to pass as a Dark Eldar ship to their sensors.”
Mordecai:“And when we arrive?”
Por’la Kel’mara :“And when we get there?”
Danielle Seamus: “From there, we enlist Iron Jake, who has prior dealings with the Cult of the Serrated Blade, to pose as a slaver.”
Harbinger smiles. “We’re the slaves.”
Por’la Kel’mara :“This seems less than wise, given Iron Jake’s… proclivities…”
Jerrick Kamris: “…I dislike this plan.”
Danielle Seamus: “I can be *very* persuasive, Seneschal.”
Mordecai:“I will do whatever is necessary in pursuit of recovering the missing STC.”
Captain N. Barrow: Barrow is not gonna be a slave.
Danielle Seamus: “It is just *pretending*, Barrow,” Harbinger stresses.
Captain N. Barrow: "You wear shackles for most of your growing years and then pretend to do it again.
"
Danielle Seamus: “I did.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Danielle, are you seriously asking Barrow to be /reasonable?/”
Mordecai:“Just think of all the pirates it will allow you to kill, Captain.”
Danielle Seamus: “Yes, I am. If she cannot put aside her eccentricities to kill the one group of Eldar who are ACTUALLY responsible for enslaving her…”
Mandala Sigyn: “Plus, how do we smuggle in our weapons and armor?”
Danielle Seamus: “…I will then gently remind this crew that we are in Imperial Space.”
Jerrick Kamris: “The shackles of these Eldar are… Not ones I wish to don again.” Jerrick suppresses a shudder. “I will do so if Barrow wishes, however.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Just drop me in with my sword and armor, you can do your stupid slave stuff.”
Danielle Seamus: “What if… we compromise. You pose as Iron Jake’s lover. That allows you to keep a check on him and you don’t have to don any shackles.”
“As for the rest of us, smuggling in weapons is hardly an issue.” Danielle meets Mandala’s eyes. “You’re a living weapon. Same for the psyker.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Ugh but I won’t really love him. what if the pirates know? they’re weird about that kind of thing.”
Danielle Seamus: “I have faith, Barrow.”
Mordecai:“I can fight xenos sufficiently without need of weapons as well.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Yes, and we know what they do to psykers, don’t we? Inquisitor, I don’t expect to stick around long. We wind up in their dungeon, I’m going to start burning shit until there are no more Eldar left to incinerate.”
Danielle Seamus: “We won’t go to the dungeon.”
“We’ll be sold to the gladiatorial ARENA.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I’m… sorry?”
Por’la Kel’mara :" -:| "
Danielle Seamus: “I’ve been studying up on these Eldar of Commorragh. The highest value slaves are not tortured. They are made to fight. Typically in teams.”
Jerrick Kamris: “…I don’t believe they would do such a thing with those of my and the navigator’s particular talents. I lived through it long enough to not wish to repeat that experience.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Indeed, although if we’re careful we can probably come away with a treasure trove of soulstones.”
“Not to sell, mind you, but mostly just to take their Lord of Pleasure and shove it right in his face-orifice.”
Danielle Seamus: “I’d ask for you to not let your prior experiences cloud your judgment. If sold as a package deal for the arena, I doubt the Eldar will be able to resist. With that proximity to the Cult, we should be able to recover the STC and dispatch them as well.”
“And most importantly of all, stop Dracul’s simulacrum that is also in Commorragh.”
“…of course, if you want to sit this one out, *psyker*, I’m sure no one would be disappointed in you…”
Danielle Seamus gives a quiet glance over to the Lord-Captain.
Danielle Seamus: “You’ll just have to leave your revenge to more able-bodied personnel.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Don’t look to me to manipulate my radio into donning shackles again. That’s something he’ll choose, I would never force.”
Sanctity: “Lord-Captain. P-permission to speak?”
Danielle Seamus: “Of course, Barrow. I would never.”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick glares at Dani, then looks to Barrow, and sighs. “I will… Consider it.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Go ahead.”
“I think you outrank Harbinger now, so talk whenever you like.”
Danielle Seamus: “I’M THE INQ- never mind.”
RogueTraderGM: “R-right. Just if the witch doesn’t go, Captain, I will t-take those shackles with pride. I would- would do ANYTHING to see the xenos BURN for what they did to my f-friends! SUFFER NOT THE XENOS TO LIVE! PURGE THEM IN THE- IN THE NAME OF THE EMPEROR!”
Danielle Seamus: “:D”
RogueTraderGM: Sanctity starts frothing at the mouth
Por’la Kel’mara gently steps behind Mordecai
RogueTraderGM: And staring at Kel’mara.
Well played)
Captain N. Barrow: “well if Sanctity wants to go, maybe I should stay and pilot things.”
Danielle Seamus: “Once we dock the Sojourn, you’ll be more needed posing as a slaver and keeping Iron Jake in line, I believe.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Someone keep Sanctity from mauling Kel’Mara?”
Danielle Seamus: “She’s harmless probably.”
Mordecai:“He is out of sight, he should be fine.”
Por’la Kel’mara murmurs “Thankfully.”
Danielle Seamus: “Though your ability to pilot our flight craft is an added bonus, Barrow. We should leverage it whenever possible.”
“The Throne and Tempest, meanwhile, can meet us on Holy Mars. That should also allow them to repair our blessed Nova Cannon.”
RogueTraderGM: Sanctity has a coughing fit, returning somewhat to normal.
Sanctity: “Um… how many s-slavers do we need?”
Danielle Seamus: “I think just Barrow and Jake should suffice, unless anyone else has thoughts on that matter.”
MissBarrow: “Besides, what if the pirates try to take my Sojourn again while you all are away?”
Captain N. Barrow: “Somebody needs to make sure this isn’t taken.”
Mandala Sigyn: “That’s why we have the murder-servitors, Barrow.”
Sanctity: "I’m- I’m just thinking that the lord-captain might be RECOGNISABLE. Because she’s a legend and the best! Maybe she should stick to the shadows, and we get someone else as a t-third slaver!)
Danielle Seamus: “Hmm, that’s an acceptable line of thought. Any officer want to volunteer for being a third slaver?”
Captain N. Barrow: “I do also have a prior marking for being a slave.”
Danielle Seamus: “Mandy, you’re talky right”
Mandala Sigyn: “What about Mortaria? Can we use her, you think?”
“And yes, I am.”
Sanctity: “What about Kedan : D?”
RogueTraderGM: *lord Kedan
Danielle Seamus: “Mortaria may have some intel on what Dracul is doing here, but beyond that we’ll want to confine her utterly. Not let her interfere with things-”
Danielle Seamus : *slap*
Sanctity: “SORRRRRYY.”
Captain N. Barrow: “Ooh yes send Kedan in my place.”
Mandala Sigyn: “He’d do it, you know.”
Captain N. Barrow: “I can’t picture a better place for him than an Eldar battle arena.”
“Imagine all the spikes and chains and leather.”
Danielle Seamus: “…I leave that up to your discretion, Barrow.”
“Do you think you can handle Jake and selling us to the Eldar, Sigyn?”
Mandala Sigyn: “I suppose, yes.”
Danielle Seamus: “Positively smashing.” Harbinger looks around. “Is there anything else that needs to go into this, or are we set?”
Sanctity: “I have a question!”
“Where IS Comorrashasha?”
“Comorrauieyhgh.”
Danielle Seamus: “Commorragh.”
Sanctity: “Oh! Bless you, Lady Inquisitor!”
Danielle Seamus produces a rough warp chart. "Will this suffice for your purposes, Sigyn?
(From Danielle Seamus): From the documents Jake gave me, obviously
(To Danielle Seamus): indeed
Danielle is holding a chart showing a warp route from Maloria to an unnamed system, with ‘Commorragh’ in Eldar written across it, along with haphazard poetry
Mandala Sigyn: “…I think that should work, if I’m allowed time to compare notes with the Navis Prima.”
Danielle Seamus: “Don’t ask me about the poetry it doesn’t even RHYME”
“Very good. Try not to overexert yourself, Sigyn - we’ll need your expertise when operating the Mimic Engine.”
RogueTraderGM: 89
Harbinger: (ooc: mimic engine’s success is based on a Navigator’s +10 Perception test)
Mandala Sigyn: “Mimic Engine? What’s that?”
RogueTraderGM:

Danielle Seamus: “Eldar technology. It can make our ship appear to be any other type of ship to all sensors.”
“I’d like for us not to get shot down before we can dock.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I… see. Yes, that would be useful.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (sorry trying to inflict my voice on tormak)
(it does not appear to work)
Mordecai:“I will ensure it is installed properly. It is not like xenostech is new to this ship anyway.”
Danielle Seamus: “We scavenged it from the Eldar we defeated some time ago, the ones engaging Charlabelle.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I will do what I can, but I make no promises about its functionality.”
Danielle Seamus: “Let’s hope your skill has more purchase than your promises, then. Let’s do this.”
I’ll start piloting us to the warp jump point.
Por’la Kel’mara :“I am positive she will do fine.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): A well-traveled route, it will take merely a week of warp travel to reach Maloria.
The route to this star system is another matter entirely.
Mandala Sigyn is going to take time to talk to Veda about what to do about this whole Paternova business.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright.
She’s still locked in her room!
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick is going to take time to try and remember everything he can about deldar that wasn’t years of torture
Por’la Kel’mara :Kel is gonna look at the adorbs water caste trinket and work with mordy on the gun drone.
Mordecai is going to take this time to go meet with Kel’mara.
Por’la Kel’mara :O
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright, let’s start with Mandala
Actually I can do Kel at the same time
NOTE TO SELF FOR FUTURE LOGS: CHECK LL
oh did Mandala dc again
Alright forget LL
KEL’MARA
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Kel’mara, give me an easy tech-use test to identify the trinket

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Kel’mara, it’s a polyglot hedron
It listens to any conversation, and displays the most polite and persuasive syntax to use in an answer in a non-Tau language.
(+10 to all non-Tau interaction tests)
Por’la Kel’mara :Excellent.
Mandala Sigyn: sorry about that
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It is useless with Tau conversation because all Tau conversation is already perfect, hail the Greater Good
Welcome back!
Por’la Kel’mara :Hail
(“hedron how doi convince sanctity to not murder me” “I’m a hedron dammit not a miracle worker”)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (yeah even the higher ranked modrons can’t do that)
Mandala Sigyn knocks on the door. “Veda, we need to talk about what we’re going to do with this Paternova shit. Now, I’m sure there are some questions to be asked as to why both of us are going off at once, but the bigger issue is Madrimar. So why don’t we just settle this with a good old fashioned Navigator Duel and be on our way?”
Veda: “Because, dear descendant, the duels are to the DEATH.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Her voice is muffled through her door, but it’s an octave deeper than it should be nevertheless
Mandala Sigyn: “Ah, I see. Is there any way to resolve this in a non-fatal fashion?”
Veda: “AH-HA! COWARDICE! I… Oh, wait, you’re serious aren’t you.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Yes, I am. I would prefer not to have to kill one of the few people remaining from my House.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): There is a long silence.
Veda: “I… haven’t studied the house history in more recent years, but I do not recall anyone ever trying to find out.”
“I mean, NOT killing your enemies seems like a waste.”
Mandala Sigyn: “But we are not enemies, Veda. At least, we are not supposed to be.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “in fact, ONE Paternova kept killing Navigators long beyond the Heirs’ deaths because she enjoyed it so much.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Madrimar, on the other hand, I’m planning to scourge with holy fire the moment this conversation is done.”
“Although he might make a good test subject…”
Veda: “If you are serious… the mixing of our genes with the warp’s power is… finicky. Perhaps the Genetor would know a way to reverse the process- the heirs grow stronger and more erratic the less of them there are, so removing one in a non-fatal manner should theoretically work. If you were willing to give your genetic code to the Mechanicum.”
“Of course, it would be you. I would make the better Paternova for her house, after all.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Right, how many Chaos Marines have you killed lately?”
Veda: “None. I haven’t contaminated my third eye by staring at a servant of the Ruinous Powers.” She gives a smug little laugh.
“And I’m not sure you would want the job anyway, little Mandy. You’d be stuck, unmoving, on a chair after the process completes in a few decades. You seem to take a perverse delight in actually doing things.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “MOST uncouth.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Perhaps then it might be more appropriate to have /you/ set up as Paternova, although I am curious. Are you actually of House Sigyn?”
Veda: “Of course! How DARE YOU! My breeding chart was framed on our Terra estates! I WILL TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB FOR THIS INSUL- oh dear, this is rather a rush.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Yes, the hormones are pesky. I will need to spend several hours in the Sensorium to calm down.”
Veda: “It BETTER still be there. I wonder if it’s changed in the last few millenia…” She trails off.
“Curious. I never really cared about all the family being dead, but I will miss the servants. They were nice. Stupid. but nice. And loyal thanks to all the explosive collars. Ah, to be young again, frollicking through the artifical fields of Terra…”
Mandala Sigyn: “Yes. Well.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Veda trails off into random reminiscing mixed with spouts of incoherent rage.
Mandala Sigyn: “The main issue is that two people from the same House should not be having this reaction, correct?”
Veda: “Oh, dear me, NO. No, this is an absolutely horrid situation.”
“I was the heir ascendant in my time, of course. Why I was sent with Alexandria Barrow- she was going to be the next big thing before she vanished.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Then perhaps it might be wise to see if we are, in fact, of the same bloodline. Because only one of us can be of House Sigyn.”
Veda: “I do not like the accusation, but I will submit to any stupid and pointless tests you wish me to take. As long as it’s Dun’lia and not the Genetor.”
“Or, ooh, BOTH of them!”
“Less chance of you bribing BOTH of them to poison me.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Hmm. Nevertheless, there is also Madrimar. I would have killed him… her… whatever… already, if I did not fear she would be a sacrifice to one of the Dark Powers, as she was intended to be.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Veda falls silent. again. The door opens a fraction. “WHY do you fear this?”
Mandala Sigyn: “Because when I found Madrimar, she was in the middle of a ritual circle about to be sacrificed by Chaos Marines from the Thousand Suns Chapter.”
Harbinger: *Sons
Mandala Sigyn: *Shut up
Harbinger: :D
Mandala Sigyn: *It’s phonetically correct
Rogue Trader GM (GM): As she trembles the door rocks. “Yes. I see. The heretic has taken the body of one of our bloodline as well. If Navigator slays Navigator in such a way, potent power COULD be unleashed. I would suggest the killing hand on that abomination be neither of us.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Here’s an idea: we’re likely to come across other Navigators. Let her deal with some of our opponents, thin the herd before she is slain, yes?”
Veda: “Yessssss. And here I was thinking you didn’t have what it takes, dear!”
“We should also send fruit baskets with bombs in. That’s a classic!”
Mandala Sigyn: “No, no, too cliche, and they’ll be expecting it.”
Veda: “Though there is the slight issue that baby Madrimar is going to get stronger with us.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Then perhaps I should simply allow the Inquisitor to slay her now, or let the Genetor dissect her.”
“Or, test the ‘non-lethal’ means of defeating our opponents on her, in case it’s not as non-lethal as we’d like.”
Veda: “I approve of any form of experimentation on people who aren’t me!”
Mandala Sigyn: “Then let us speak to the Genetor and the Seneschal. Hopefully, they will be able to provide the solution we require.”
Veda: “Contacting them as we spe- strange. They appear to be together.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): MORDECAI, KEL
Mordecai:Hi
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You have gotten the drone to follow Kel’mara’s commands and done your deals when Navigators are bombarding you with stupid questions not about gun drones.
Mordecai:how boring
Por’la Kel’mara :zzzzz
Mordecai:“Sigyns, what do you require? Is there an update in your condition?”
Mandala Sigyn dangles my genetic code in front of Mordecai like yarn in front of a cat.
Mordecai jump jump jump
Mandala Sigyn: "Somewhat. We require your assistance.
“You see, both me and Veda have this… condition… and we desire to not destroy each other over this Paternova business. So we’d like you to help us end this… nonviolently.”
Veda: “MY WARP GHOST WILL MURDER YOU IF YOU TAKE HER MONEY TO POISON ME.”
Por’la Kel’mara :(“But w ejust finishe dprogrammning this gun drone and everything…”)
Por’la Kel’mara “o_o”
Veda: “But otherwise yes, what she said.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I apologize on her behalf. Our hormones are making us… edgy.”
Mordecai:“I would not poison such a precious subject, do not worry.”
“I will see what I can do, as I can now perform a more through examination. Come to the medicium whenever you are prepared.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Also, we insist you test any process on Madrimar first.”
“Because seriously, fuck Madrimar.”
Mordecai:“Acceptable.”
Veda: “I agree with the spirit of what she said, except with considerably more violence.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Veda calls the Navigator staff and security to try and cart Madrimar to Mordecai’s medicarum .
Veda: “I hope SHE doesn’t find out about this.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Veda closes her door on Mandala, muttering about ‘crazy Inquisitors’.
Mandala, what do you do?
Also
Mordecai?
Mordecai:TESTS
Vague, indistinct tests
Mandala Sigyn: I go to escort them, in case Madrimar decides to escape.
Mordecai:I’m not sure what medical equipment is available in the grim darkness of the 41st millenium
Also make sure Madrimar gets here
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You have leeches
Syringes
a servitor with a strange device that shows the insides of people
bandages
and a machine that analyses DNA
oh, and a music player to drive bad daemons away
Mordecai:Let’s analyze Mandy and Veda’s DNA
and put on the music player because ya know
Madrimar
Jerrick Kamris: crank that up to 11
Rogue Trader GM (GM): It’ll be a hellish check
though bonuses apply as normal

I’ll spend a fate for an extra dos
so 3 dos
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Mordecai, you think you have figured out how do reverse the changes- a cybernetic implant attached to the heart should be able to inhibit the aggression and the erraticity to their mutations.
Though it will take months to have any effect.
Mordecai:Gonna be months before we get to Terra!
I’ll relay my findings to everyone else here.
Mandala Sigyn: “Interesting. So, which of us should receive the implant first? You know, to test it out?”
Mordecai:“I would say testing it on Madrimar may not be the best means due to the time it will take to have effect. The choice of which of you receives it would be up to yourselves to decide.”
Veda: “-DALA.” The reply is so quick half of it is cut off before she remembers to flick on the microbead
Mandala Sigyn: “Hmm… Yes, Veda?”
“Oh, you want me to go under.”
Mordecai:“Testing it on Madrimar is still a possibility, but I cannot say how the increased aggression and rapid mutation would progress in the meantime.”

Gaius/Gaia Madrimar dies on an operating table, unknown and unremembered for the final time. Most of her organs are too tainted to keep, but you do learn more to speed up Mandala’s implanting process. The great pirate king does one final service for the Imperium, against his/her will.

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Which leaves the psychic encounter.
Remind me how Mandala perceives the warp again?
Mandala Sigyn: It’s a vast city, stretching to the horizon
moving, shifting, ALIVE, but ultimately still a thing of rockcrete and plasteel
Mandala, the cityscape in front of you opens up. You find yourself standing in a ring, an ever changing crowd of rockcrete statues in stands around you. A metal man wielding a sword steps out of the shadows in front of you and bows, before charging; it appears the warp is throwing a test of strength your way.
Mandala Sigyn: uh oh
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (this is a psychic duel. If you win, the psychic encounter will not occur. if you lose, it does so, and you take some physical injury from the backlash)
(otherwise no damage in this battle is actually real)

(Keep attacking Eldar, it’ll happen)
Mandala Sigyn: (so, what are the rules here? just like a normal combat?)
Rogue Trader GM (GM): (Yep)
(Save none of this damage is permanent)

Harbinger: yeah
that’s the tradeoff of flamers
Mandala Sigyn: damn
Harbinger: though it’s supposed to go Dodge > Agi test
Rogue Trader GM (GM): why is the only good bad ugly song featuring TUPAC
Harbinger: not the other way around
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Didn’t really matter in this case
Harbinger: it matters if mandy has cleanse & purify
for the future
Mandala Sigyn: I do have cleanse and purify

In which case!

Rogue Trader GM (GM): The creature shudders under the assault
But stays solid.
Anything else?
Mandala Sigyn: I’ll move back a half action to keep my distance, since I don’t want to engage this in melee if I can avoid it
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright, how far are you now?
Mandala Sigyn: 29m
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
The creature slides across the ground to you, standing 4m away. Its metal facade is cracking, revealing something red and burning underneath.
Your move!
Mandala Sigyn: do I have my weapons with me?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Yes, though their shape might be different her.e
Mandala Sigyn: I draw my sunrifle and semi-auto at it
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright, go ahead.
Harbinger: don’t forget range bonuses you might be close enough for a point blank barrage
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 4m, I think that’s outside PBR?
Still get close
The creature is also just big enough to get another +10 bonus, as it appears to be growing the closer you both get.

5 DoS is… 6 hits, thanks to Storm quality?
Mordecai:storm doubles hits
so it’ll be 12 hits
Mandala Sigyn: no, it was semi-auto
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Depending on what the max number of hits is
Mordecai:OH
semi then yeah
Rogue Trader GM (GM): But yes
Mandala Sigyn: let it try to dodge first
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Oh right, the creature ran last turn
So that’s a -20
8 hits if you didn’t count it
25

40 dodge
Mordecai:how does a -20 make MORE hits
Rogue Trader GM (GM): er
4 hits sorry
3 hits*
Danielle Seamus: no sephs that’s not how storm
Rogue Trader GM (GM): ONE SECOND
Mordecai:4 hits and it dodges 2 per normal dodge
so it dodged them all
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Alright
Moving away, Mandala?
Mandala Sigyn: damn
can I move away?
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The thing’s running range appears to be 24m
It’s not in melee.
Danielle Seamus: if you used a half action to draw
Mandala Sigyn: I mean, I drew my weapon and fired already
Danielle Seamus: I think you’re out of actions
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Ohhh
Okay
Mandala Sigyn: yeah, I’m done
Rogue Trader GM (GM): the creature charges then

Aw you dodge
Mandala Sigyn: phew
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The creature is now in melee with you
Your turn
_{WITCH. BURN.}
Mandala Sigyn: half-aim, full-auto
Harbinger: you have to get out of melee to fire a basic weapon
Mordecai:can’t fire basic in melee
yeah
Mandala Sigyn: “Same goes to you!” she says, ripping at the enemy with what appears to be pure starlight.
ugh
Mordecai:do you still have an INFERNO PISTOL
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You can either move out and take a swing first
or drop it and draw fire an inferno pistol
or eye, I guess
Harbinger: hopping back 1m would give you PBR, you could use the inferno pistol, or just warp torch its head
Mordecai:so many optionz
Mandala Sigyn: I’ll try hopping back 1m
then full-autoing
Harbinger: so opportunity attack first
then you get a barrage at +30
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 13
It hits, only a single attack though
Mordecai:hey
mandy has a field!
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You cannot dodge during your turn, but fields work

Mandala Sigyn: if I’d known that I wouldn’t have gone with this plan
Rogue Trader GM (GM): 14 pen 10
Oh man
That 1
Mandala Sigyn: okay, I’m down to 2 wounds
Rogue Trader GM (GM): …Eesh
Harbinger: just blow it away in one turn npnp
Mandala Sigyn: and now FULL-AUTO
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You have PBR
Jerrick Kamris: if it’s any consolation these aren’t real wounds and you’re not actually being hurt
Rogue Trader GM (GM): it did not run last turn
so +10 for size, +30 for PBR
Jerrick Kamris: at least unless you lose
Mandala Sigyn: okay, so that’s +30 for PBR, +10 for half-aim
+10 for size
Harbinger: I don’t think you have the action for half-aim due to the move
Rogue Trader GM (GM): You can’t half-aim as you moved

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Your fourth shot penetrates the metal head, and magma pours out into a cooling pile as the giant fades away.
Mandala Sigyn: “Well that was… anticlimactic.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The crowd disperses, a solid feeling of disappointment following the rockcrete figures as they rejoin the city.
_{YES. YOU CAN FIGHT KAOS; YOU WILL DO}
The ship is saved from the psychic encounter, as the warp-thing disappears
Mandala Sigyn: “…What the hell does that mean?”

Mandala Sigyn: “It said something strange though. About how I could ‘fight Kaos.’ With a K, I’m sure of it.”
Mordecai:Relay that to the team.
Mandala Sigyn: “I think it might have been some kind of Eldar spirit.”
Mordecai:“Is this where those other eldar are, then?”
Danielle Seamus: “No, this doesn’t seem right.”
Por’la Kel’mara :“No, no, it is related to ancient Barrow Dynasty holdings, if I remember correctly…. not Eldar.”
Danielle Seamus: “Active Augury, Mistress of Etherics.”

Danielle Seamus: “Dammit Sanctity go to my room.”
Sanctity: “Yes inquisiotr”
Danielle Seamus: “…you’re sure you got the coordinates right, Sigyn?”
“Brig Team, bring me Iron Jake.”
Mordecai:“I do not know the immaterium well, but could you have been mislead?”
Mandala Sigyn: “I am certain, Danielle. My calculations were correct, and I successfully navigated all warp hazards.”
Mordecai:“It would be more accurate to say I don’t know it at all, to be more clear, illogical nonsense.”
Mandala Sigyn: “This is most definitely the system. But which planet is Commoragh?”

Jerrick Kamris: ignore that entire thing everyone
i didn’t make a lore test and i didn’t spend fate
im in the middle of making dinner :

Harbinger: *from the brig to the bridge, is where I wanted him
Mordecai:why are we all in the brig anyway
Danielle Seamus: “Iron Jake. Care to tell us where the Dark Eldar city is from here?”
Mandala Sigyn: “Theory: Commoragh is a craftworld, not unlike the eldar world we just fought.”
Danielle Seamus: “A possibility, but then pirate outposts would not likely have been suggested as a viable alternative.”
Mordecai:“We could confirm or deny when Iron Jake talks.”
Jake: “Give me a second, alright, give me a second… ahh. Penance.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “The biggest hive of scum and villainy you’ll ever see outside Comorragh itself. It’s a… stopping point for pirates.”
Danielle Seamus: “Cut the crap, Acolyte. How do we get from here to there?”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “You petition the Dark Eldar on Penance’s moon. I dunno who’s on charge now. Then you get the right to go to Comorragh without getting shot on sight.”
“Usually.”
“The actual city itself, I’ve heard, is in summin’ called a ‘wayweb’.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Webway,” Mandala corrects.
Danielle Seamus: “The Webway again. Well, let’s get started. Everyone got their roles together?”
Mordecai:“I am a slave.”
Mandala Sigyn: “I am… Mr. Jake’s wife, correct?”
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick glowers but remains silent.
Danielle Seamus: “Or girlfriend, or consort, or whatever. Here Jerry, put on this corpse starch sack.”
Danielle Seamus also dons a slave outfit.
Mandala Sigyn: “Let’s go with consort; marrying a normal human would be unseemly for one of my stature.”
Por’la Kel’mara :“I still have doubts about this…” He goes about trying to find the best way to hide the micro-rifle in his outfit.
Mordecai:“Someday I will get to wear my holy dragon scale.” Mordecai slips on an oversized slave sack.
Danielle Seamus: “And here… we… go~”
Jake: “Going take a couple of days to get close enough to the moon. Plenty o’ time to prepare.”
Danielle Seamus: “FINE”
Mordecai:“It gives us time to get into character.”
Danielle Seamus: go to my room with Sanctity and Scoriada
Mordecai:Time to go wallow.

Jerrick Kamris: 75, but i get +10 from my cat so 85, then foresight so 95
Mordecai:dangit minmaxy
i’ll iad you
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Penance and its moon, it looks like, are one; as you reach visual distance, you can see the moon is attached to the planet by giant wraithbone structures, black and twisted, energy pulses traveling from what looks like the dead planet to a hive city moon.

Por’la Kel’mara :oh dear
Mordecai:neat
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Jerrick, this looks like the structure of the pirate eldar
They are very good conductors and used a lot in electrocution torture.
Jerrick Kamris: i was hoping to use that lore to help out our cover
if that works~
Rogue Trader GM (GM): oh yeah
Mordecai:also does jerry knowin’ how eldar slaves act help
Rogue Trader GM (GM): you get the general idea of what the dark eldar want from their slaves
fear
and very little else
Mordecai:the not-jaded not-fearless master race wins again
Sanctity: “OH GOD-EMPEROR WE’RE BEING HAILED.”
Danielle Seamus: “Onscreen.”
Harbinger: push Mandy in front of the camera
Rogue Trader GM (GM): A lizard creature is at the other end. “HRRRRRYSAYTHIA!”
Mandala Sigyn puts on a straight face for the camera.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Sanctity whispers that half the vessels she detects are of ork make to karma

Snake: “[Low Gothic] Ssssss. Humans. I will debase myself in speaking your guttural tongue, if I must.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): “Identify yourselves, or be blown out of space!”
Mandala Sigyn: “We are the Harbinger’s Sojourn. We bring high-value slaves for you.”
Jerrick Kamris: dangit mandy that’s not a cover
Mordecai:that’s not a cover at all
Mandala Sigyn: (no one told me not to use the ship name)
(I thought the idea was that we had captured the crew)
Jerrick Kamris: (we should have hammered out more details but i didn’t think to until like 10 seconds before you said it :

)
Harbinger: it’s FINE
anyway
Mordecai:that story could work
and has to now!!
Harbinger: it means we don’t have to fabricate any logs, so I like the move
Mandala Sigyn: well, don’t make me do a cover story on the fly, then
Harbinger: it shows moxie
Por’la Kel’mara :A+ good iinitiative you get your raise this year
Snake: “High value will be decided by the Kabal of the Fallen Star. You will be allowed to dock. Any insult against the honored Eldar, and your ship will be forfeit along with its crew.”
Mandala Sigyn: “Of course,” Mandala says, bowing.
Snake: “You stand in the shadow of Commorragh, the greatest city that all civilisation conspires to emulate. Your awe is understandable and required, but you will show us the respect we dessssserve, or be tortured for as long as your lifesssspan allows.”
Rogue Trader GM (GM): The snake creature cuts off the hail.
Por’la Kel’mara :“Well then.”
Mordecai:“A nice welcome.”
Mandala Sigyn: “While you’re down there, murder the whole lot of them, would you?”
Por’la Kel’mara :“If possible.”
Danielle Seamus takes a longing look at her armory before heading down with nothing except her slave clothes.
Mordecai stares longingly at his dragon scale before following suit.
Por’la Kel’mara :(are we not hiding weapons then?)
Mordecai:you are
Por’la Kel’mara :excellent
Mordecai:people who don’t need them aren’t
Por’la Kel’mara :..
>_>
Jerrick Kamris: Jerrick cracks his knuckles a bit, reluctantly donning the slave gear as well before heading down.
Harbinger: ‘so just kel’ YES KELLY
Mordecai:everyone else has crazy brain powers
Harbinger: you’re the crazy conservative who feels like he needs a gun when no one else has one
Mordecai:or kung fu
or SCIENCE
Por’la Kel’mara :look its just because my guns are so SUPERIOR ok
they’re GREATEr and GOODER
Por’la Kel’mara hups down to the group.
Danielle Seamus: LATER THAT SLAVEDAY
“…I just realized keeping my emotions in check will be of paramount importance here, won’t it…?”
Por’la Kel’mara :“Among other things.”

Rogue Trader GM (GM): Keyboard one sec
Alright, you all heading down?
Por’la Kel’mara :^
Mordecai:ya
Mandala Sigyn: indeed
Rogue Trader GM (GM): Your flier reaches down through toxic clouds on penance’s moon to enter a permanent night sky, over wraithbone towers. Fires are visible as you approach a landing spot- still living people are burning alive, as xenos of all stripes cheer in heathen tongues. Some kroot are at the edges, taking bodies whose life has finally, mercifully left them.
Jerrick Kamris: i wonder if rith is here
Danielle Seamus: “No Downers Policy is officially in full effect,” Danielle murmurs to the crew.
Rogue Trader GM (GM): A collection of shuttles is the landing pad. Some of the strange snake men are on guard, staring at the most motley crew of humans you’v ever seen dragging squealing slaves. A pack of kroot, scarred and hungry, stare at you.
Danielle Seamus:

Kahnak Rith: “…this smell…that wail…can’t be…” One of the kroot with an eye missing crawls to get a closer look.
Jerrick Kamris: oh hey there’s rith
Harbinger: jerryyyyyyyyyyyyyy you told me they wanted fear- aaaaaaa
Rogue Trader GM (GM): He immediately walks into someone, and they get into a knifefight. From the reaction of the milling crowds this appears to be normal

Mandala Sigyn quickly moves the “slaves” away from Rith so they aren’t recognized.
Mandala Sigyn: (or not)
Jerrick Kamris: man that wasn’t even a good cliffhanger
Rogue Trader GM (GM): No you can still do that
