>Be Death Jester Malarai
>Blasting Chaos worshiping Mon'Keigh to cover the retreat of the regular Mon'Keigh
>Eventually I spot in the distance what I assumed to be the horses
>They are a lot more mechanical than I was expecting, with metal plating and tubes covering their bodies
>But beggars can't be choosers, so I try to figure out how to convince them to let me ride one
>Most Mon'Keigh are kept intentionally uneducated, so perhaps I can just tell them I am a eccentric human who-
>Why am I no longer on the ground?
>Feeling a hand holding my collar, I look up and see our Masque's Shadowseer, Velrani, leaning out of a star weaver
>She pulls me aboard and demands to know where I have been, and I inform her about the crash and my adventures
>Looking around I realize that right now there are 3 star weavers in our group, each carrying a troupe and a troupe leader
>She then informs me that we are going Patriarch hunting
>As we get to the city with the most Cultist activity, we see a massive dust cloud rising up from a fallen Chaos Titan

>That's our man

>Tunnels only allow two at a time with power armour, but 4 at a time for the skitarii.
>All of us have our helmits on, both for protection, and because they have night vision.

>We come to three splitting paths, no idea were we are going.
>Cannoness asks the librarian if he can sense the icon with his foul witch magic, or the skitarii marshal if he has some kind of blasphemous device to detect it?
