Our chat: http://cbe005.chat.mibbit.com/?channel=%23RisingSons&server=irc.Rizon.net

The game should start at 6 pm GMT for whenever I get back home.

TL;DR for new players: Chapter was caught red handed while trying to hide some xeno technology and now Inquisitor Faceless owns them. Now they are being sent to Hive World Inaria to do some shady business in order to ensure his silence... Also, there are just a little more than 900 days until some mysterious invasion is supposed to hit their homeworld.

Pic made by Chapter Master PC game team, let's support them however we can and prove that /tg/ can get shit done!

Meanwhile if someone will come here earlier than me and will be bored. BerserkOnFire contributed to the game by creating Wuxide Craftworld that is/was led by Farseer Sun T'zhu. As this is player created content, I give you almost free reign to fluff it out. If it seems legit in the end, it will become canon and go to our wiki.

Main questions:
-Philosophy/theme
-Special characters
-Motivation/goals

Have an Eldar beauty to motivate you. I like her because she has my first gf's eyes. I am out.

>>>19709082
Chapter Quest!? Hell yeah! We just need to get that =]I[= cunt from our backs!
>>
Reporting brother.
>>
>>19709119
I would burn the empire for her.
Would rather take the Max Decarus route though

Anyway. Autarch Sun Ge'Ahn. Following his ancestors teachings he lead to war with both strength and strategy that were legendary, whether fighting boarding actions in the void of space or on planet he would fight with ferocity and skill that brought him to victory countless times.

Sadly his fall came at the hands of his hated kin the dark eldar after he defeated one of their raid groups. A jet bike wing came upon the Autarch while he was traveling back to the web way gate and killed him with sustained fire after he took three of them down.

Feel free to disregard my crappy attempt if you guys want
>>
>>19709500
Sounds good.

I came back a lot earlier than I thought, we can start the game as soon as some more players show up. Meanwhile I'll cook rice and add more fluff to the wiki.

Dear anon, I approve of your idea. Sun Ge'Ahn is now a canon character.

You slowly get up from your Spartan bed and shake your head. Warp jumps. You hate warp jumps. To be honest, you never liked them even before, but after what happened while you were in the Eldar captivity, you simply cannot stand warp jumps. You put on your humble tunic and prepare for your morning meditation, when someone knocks at the cell door.
>Come in.
Renard, leader of the Shadow Guard and your personal adjutant comes in.
>My lord, we have just came back into the real space. We will be in Inarian orbit within an hour. Nerial has already received coded message from Inquisitor Faceless, that he is waiting for you in the "Parnassus" space station orbiting Inaria. Please, come with me, Chapter awaits your orders.
You nod your head and follow him.As you enter the command bridge, you see Inaria on the cogitator screens of your ship.

Renard approaches you with a data slate:

http://chapterquest.wikia.com/wiki/Inaria

Nerial, your astropath, turns his blind eyes to you as if he could see(you suspect that he actually might, but not in a physical sense) and whispers:
>Lord, the one without face think that he can order you to board the station of metal in orbit of planet that is below us to meet him, to see him, to obey him, to work for him, to keep him silent...
Nerial turns away from you and sticks a plug into his temple as if it was a dagger.

For now, let's do as Faceless says and transport across to the station and meet him.

What is the composition of forces we brought along with us?

Your reflexes indeed seem to get weaker... you lose -1 Fighting Skill, but the whole commanding bridge has a good laugh at your expense, raising morale from Low to Average. Brethorius seems to be very shy of what he has done, he stays a lot more silent than usually. Renard turns to you:
>What are your orders, sir? Shall we dock at "Parnassus" or we should descend into the planet?
>>
>>19710318

Dock with the "Parnassus", I say.

>>19710318
Have a hearty laugh with Brethorious and remind the bridge crew why it's always prominent to be alert.

The clanging gates open and you step onto the space-deck of "Parnassus". In front of you already stands Faceless, with two Acolytes at his side and small clearly sub-human figure that you assume to be a squat.
>Heh, good to see you, marine. We have a work to do. Did you bring a company, just as I told you? Also, I assume, that your marines can work underwater, right? I think that those pimpin' suits Imperium threw out so much cash on should be able to hold a leak, right?

>>19710430
Probably better than your helmet can inquisitor. Now since you have answered the basic question of where we are going what is our objective and landing coordinates. I brought more than you requested in case we have unforeseen developments

We can function underwater, yes.
Now, what would you have us do?

>You surprise me, captain... Master, that is, sorry about it. We will make a good team. Situation is relatively simple. There is an underwater base somewhere here.
He shows you coordinates on data slate, but it's not a single place. His index finger is circling a teritory of what you quickly calculate to be more than 30 square miles in size.
>That's why I requested more of your brothers than is neccessary to deal with the enemy - the trick is to find them. It means splitting your forces into small teams that will scour the area until you find underwater complex. This base belongs to a certain heretic I was following for quite a long time. Now you may not like me and I may not like you, but I will be honest, he is an Inquisitor. Now don't go all high and mighty on me, it's you who stole heretical goods, not me. This guy is a radical, just like me. But he's got too deep for his own good.
>>
>>19710668
>I want you to find the base, infiltrate it, find cell/container/room or some other holding place that is labelled C-228 and exterminate whatever is inside. Expect the worst.
>>
>>19710668
Very well, Inquisitor, but once the base is found and the traitor apprehended, we will have nothing to do with his justice or punishment.

When should we begin landing forces?
>>
>>19710668
>"Very well, what should we expect in regards to resistance?
And why, exactly, do we want to find this particular Inquisitor?"
>>
>>19710668
Split into standard squads and take our tank along.
>>
>>19710690
>"What do you mean by 'worst', Inquisitor? A tyranid Bio-titan? Anything that bad would require more than we have."
>>
>>19710704
I'm not sure if we should take the tank, underwater terrain could royally screw it over.
>>
>>19710704
Personally, I'd vote against bringing the tank with us. As cool as having a super-tank underwater would be, too much could go wrong with it (fall off a underwater cliff, stuck etc), how would we extract it when the operation is finished as well?
>>
>>19710692
Your record will remain clear. I will file everything as if you were cleaning out one of the hive-ganger nests in Tachion Primaris underhive. And that Inquisitor is not even at this base right now. I hope. You will have nothing to do with him.

You will go down into the planet in closed containers labelled as "Machinery for fishing ships", this way enemy won't expect you. As soon as you will reach the underwater Hive Scylla, a fishing boat I rented will take your containers aboard and sail towards the area I showed you. Fishermen know nothing of what is in the containers, they know only that they need to throw them out in the middle of the sea. Once you reach the bottom - begin your mission. How many marines/other machines do you send?

(important note - Revenant suits do not work underwater)
>>
We will send 350 battle brothers, 10 techmarines and 10 apothecaries.

Also, won't people know that we were here because our ship is parked in orbit?
>>
>>19710752
What forces can we expect down there?

Also, do you have *any* idea what may be behind door C-228?
>>
>>19710704
Currently I bribed space station officials to list your ship as "stopped for refueling". If you would approach the planet close enough to deploy tanks, they would notice space marine aircraft going down and it would alert them.

>>19710695
Not inquisitor, marine, but something what he is trying to create. It must be destroyed.
>>19710726
>>19710724
These concerns are legitimate. Chance for accident related-kill would be around 45% even if you would manage to deploy this tank.
>>19710712
For the first time since you met him, Faceless shuts up, comes closer to you and whispers:
>Daemonic.
>>
>>Daemonic.
add a librarian to my earlier list.
>>
>>19710836
Trianon is quite inexperienced unfortunately....

We seem to be having a lot of situations lately where Anterion would have been extremely helpful.....

Curse you laughing god!!!!
>>
>>19710820
(whispering)
Inquisitor...do you have any specialised items for dealing with such a foe?
>>
>>19710852
We don't actually need him to fight, we need him to gather information.
Fighting demons and other warp dickery is a lot easier when you know what you are dealing with, where to shoot and how.
>>
>>19710877
This is indeed true.
>>
>>19710808
>I am sorry, but I cannot tell you anything beyond what I have told you already. If I am wrong, you might make wrong decisions and if I am right, it will not make any difference. Also I would like you to take my friend Urgh with you.
He motions towards squat.
>He is superior technician and has unparalleled knowledge of opening places that want to stay closed. Just don't show him to 'traditional' techpriests. They might get itchy.

What characters do you want to deploy with the force? What is your main weapon for this mission? Who is your second in command?
>>
>>19710887
I say we deploywith Trianon as a second in command, leave Brethorius on the ship to serve as coordinator.

Our main weapon will be lots of marines.

G2G now, dinner time, be back soon.
>>
>What characters do you want to deploy with the force?
librarian, chaplain, head techmarine

>What is your main weapon for this mission?
bolters and meltas. Plasma guns could cause a hull breach and fuck up the underwater installation.

>Who is your second in command?
The first captain

>>19710864
>Here, take these.
Faceless takes out a bolt magazine from his bolt pistol and gives it to you.
>It's not much, but I hope they will help. Sanctified bolt rounds tipped with silver from Saint Belissarius church bell. I took down a few dark ones for good in my own time. Godspeed.

He shows you the way towards the hangars where dozens of empty containers stand, prepared for your marines to use them.

Very soon you find yourself in a closed metal box, descending into the planet. For a while everything is quiet, but as soon as you reach the underwater hive, you hear machinery working and hundreds of voices shouting in frustration. You don't have to wait long, in a few minutes your container is picked up by a crane and loaded into the ship. Marines beside you check their bolters again both with eagerness for battle and slight worry of something unknown for them. This part, waiting, is the worst in soldiers life, but marines know how to deal with it, they soon start talking among themselves about the glory that awaits the Chapter, about the differences in the cults they follow and about plans/hopes for the future. Do you join in or do you listen from the side? Listening might give you a better view of what marines think about the Chapter right now, but if you would join in, you might raise their spirits... For whatever you do, roll d100

Suddenly, you hear mechanical cranes turning to life again. Something grabs your container, it starts shaking and you are lifted into the air. For a minute or so you hang there and then you are thrown out into sea... You feel as your container is sinking faster and faster to the bottom. What do you do?

>>19711179
We wait until we touch down onto the seafloor, once there, we exit the containers and begin our search for the underwater installation.

Your container hits some underwater rocks, but soon slides off and descends into the sandy ocean bottom. You rip out a hole and ignoring the flooding water rush out into the open. Sudden change of pressure is more than enough to kill a mortal, but for you it gives nothing more than slight ear pain.

As agreed in chat, first roll will be ignored. Decide what is the name of this operation!

Combination of good weather, luck and your strategic girth, you managed to organised your forces together in less than half an hour. Also because of good intel by Faceless or maybe just some divine intervention, your scouts report that they found some man made structure to the east of your position. You stand now on top of an underwater rock and look at your minions below you - over three companies of silent warriors. When you turn on your vox, you can hear a soft shimmer of hundreds of breaths being taken, but everyone is silent. They all wait for you to say something.

(remember, that no one but you and officers atm know what to expect, others just follow your orders)

Your words meant nothing for them, but Ghosts know better, than to question orders of their superior, especially their Chapter Master. Marines quickly disperse into squads, where sergeants form them up into a respectable combat formation. You reckon that with army this size you might have chances of taking down one of the smaller imperial worlds, like Mormark, not even speaking about a single base.Your forces move towards the underwater enemy facility.

Very soon, Kronos, your morbid Leutenant who commands the forward squad contacts you:
>Lord, we are at the outer wall of this installation. Should we plant charges or should techpriests try to gain access to one of the doors? Maybe we should instead try to infiltrate through one of the maintainance pipes(this might be dangerous)?

choose and roll
>>
>>19711642
First, we get in position, then we open a bunch of doors and move in, bolters and meltas at the ready.
>>
>>19711642
I say we use out techmarines to gain access to one of the doors, a too....explosive...entrance would garner too much attention.

Conversely we could organise all our squads to take a position around the base, and they all enter explosively at once, in different places of the facility.

Urgh, the ugly slow squat that one of your brothers has to carry on his back, contacts you through the vox:
>Give me 5 minutes, big guy, and by the ancestors, I'll fry all of their systems back to the Dark Age.

Your warriors form up, prepared to storm underwater base, but many look to you, wondering whom will you choose for this task - some stranger that works for the Inquisitor that hates us, or a trusted brother Prinium, who worked with machine spirits all of his life?

Send both of them to work on the systems.

Both of them start working on the consoles, communicating with each other through vox chatter. However you notice that Prinium is getting more and more nervous, demanding Urgh to follow protocol and appease the machine spirits before asking them to unlock the doors, while Urgh is just laughing and blathering something in techno slang.

You realise, that you can still recall one of them away from this task.

You can:
A.let Prinium work on infiltration:

Chance to open: 70%
Chance for detection: 10%

It is likely, that many Deathwishers will get their wish today. Are you sure that you are of Raven Guard stock? Maybe you were made from Lamenters gene-stock? It would seem more likely.

At first everything is going your way - Kronos and his marines charge into the base, alert is sounded, but too late, every technician, worker or guard is cut down without mercy, painting white walls in red. It didn't last long. All of a sudden out of hidden places in the walls dozens of automated plasma turrets start raining death. Brother Jorkar, Ignur and Celestios are cut down, whispering your name with dying breaths, others, almost three squads with Kronos and Prinium - are cut off, unable to retreat or advance...

Marines who just recently were ready to lay their lives down for you now accept your words with silence. Everybody knows a pointless death when they see one. The worst thing is not that he died because of Chapter Masters stupidity or that he not died like he wanted to - on the field of battle, but that he died a tainted death. Apothecary will never recover his geneseed and he will never have heirs to wear his armour. And his soul... No one knows what happened to it, but it is very unlikely that it will ever rest by the Emperor's side. Marines just quietly give their respects to Tiskion and move out to search for Area C-228.

Tell him not, tell him NOT to trust Quixos, He lies about Zykion, Zykion was right, the threads of fate of the Imperium lie here!

>Sir, it seems that fighting has hit one of the maintenance systems, base is falling apart, I am afraid that if we will spend more time here, we will be buried underneath the rubble. What are your orders?
>>

>Full retreat out of the base!!!

Lets just go home, we lost an eye to a book, no way we want to stay look for more clues if its falling apart.

>No sir, Faceless has left the system and those Imperial Cruisers docked at "Parnassus" for refueling.

Overall this mission is over. I really hope that either Capital or someone else will keep their word and document it on it's page and you get +3 xp points for today. Despite AWFUL rolls I think we did good and only 4 marines have died in total.

You finish everything and return to orbit as soon as possible.

btw, did you take the black book with you?

Deiron comes to your cell:
>Thank you for opening my eyes, Chapter Master. It was a terrible thing and I will make sure, that the next time Quixos steps on Titan to ask for something would be his last. But for the peace of your mind you should forget everything what was said there. Just forget.
>>
>>19715341
Like fuck did we take that book with us....
I believe we left it on the floor.

>Peace of mind is a luxury we chapter masters can ill afford, but I will try....
>>
>>19715341
Aye, knight. I'll not speak of these atrocities.
>Ask him if we may be able to contact him again one day, should we be serving the Inquisition and in need of Grey Knights we can trust

>no you didn't take the book, we aren't that fucking stupid
>>

>I would be happy to work alongside you one day. But I wouldn't suggest you meet other Grey Knights any time soon. At least not until you get sanctioned. Yes, I know. Your mind is strong and you hide it well, but recent intrusion made it visible, there is a gap in your defences now... I might have to kill you myself if you do not close that gap soon. Here, take this as a parting gift from me.
He gives you a small book with a title "Psychic Rites of Grey Knights".
>This is something every initiate Grey Knight receives. Learn from it and fortify your mind. Stay strong and do not fall.

rolled 7 = 7

rolling for navigational trait.

>I...thank you for your generosity. And your forgiveness. I hope you understand the precarious position I'm in. However I'll focus on my defenses for the time being.

I'd say set out to find faceless

900 days until the invasion.

Session over, thanks, gents. You did well today against all odds. Hm, I think there won't be any way to replace that eye in order commemorate this victory. Oh, btw, your perception is halved for vision based tests because you are one-eyed. Nah, just kidding.

I should be here tommorow, so if some of you can join us - we'll continue

>>19715629

Thank Skargan, looking forward to it.

Does Chapter master have an edlar woman he likes?
