Our Chapter: http://chapterquest.wikia.com/wiki/Ghosts_of_Retribution

=Chapter=
+Heresy: 32% (Suspicious)
+Numbers: 570 battle brothers
+Wealth: 104 million thrones

=Immediate objectives=
+Liberating Inaria
+Capturing/executing commanders of the Third Company (1/2 complete - Tacitarius killed)

=Secondary quests=
http://chapterquest.wikia.com/wiki/Unfinished_business

=Recent events=
We have arrived to the orbit of an underwater Hive World of Inaria, seeking our Third Company who were failing to answer our communications. Their Captain, an ambitious officer by the name of Arcon, was always known for his independence and arrogance. This, combined with the new Chapter cult of 'Soulkillers' might have had influence on their actions. We have a very strong suspicion, that our brothers may have chosen a darker path. We have infiltrated Hive Neptune and managed to track down Tacitarius, Soulkiller Chaplain. We faced him in single combat and defeated him, but this doesn't seem like the end...

=VOLUNTEERS NEEDED=
Chapter Quest is looking for writefags and drawfags who would like to contribute to our story. Skill of the contributor is less important than his inspiration. Even if you are not player in the game, you may want us to use your ideas. Currently we need someone to:
+fluff out planets
+create factions
+develop characters
+draw portraits for primary and secondary characters

Remember - Emperor rewards those who answer his call!

Skargan, during the final round of combat, the Apothecary was in close combat with us while the other SoulKillers fled?

Does that mean he witnessed Tacticarius' death and the daemon spawning from his corpse?

You exchange a storm of strikes with your former Chaplain and then with a slicing strike you cleanly chop Tacitarius' head off. His warcry is cut halfway as his throat is ripped and his ugly skull helmet flies into the air, falling more than a dozen meters away. You lower your sword and take a deep breath. Then you notice, that strange red smoke is seeping from the Tacitarius' wounds and is slowly accumulating into a strange mist in the air. Red clouds start to thicken and take forms. For a moment you think that you've seen a face of Ashkenor the Wrathbringer, your Red Giants nemesis, but that must have been just a trick of light. Then, with a sound of crushed glass, a tear in reality appears, spawning a strange burning creature who screams in pain and anger...

THE PLAN(tm)

The ethereal being begins to take solid form, as the marines who retreated, having re-steeled themselves, come charging back into the hall, seeing the chaotic essence, they stop instantly.
The red essence form into a solid daemonic being and begin to charge at Chapter Master, damonsword raised high, only to explode in a flash of warp dust as several sanctified bolt rounds, which had been stolen earlier, impact it from behind, Prekan de-cloaks and lower his bolt pistol, falling to his knees and praying to the Emperor as he realises he has been serving chaos.

Chapter Master looks down to the body he is carrying, Geron’s body, as the heroic marine breathed his last, falling to his knees, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWaLxFIVX1s) chapter Master eyes begin to glow with psykic power, and eldritch energy begins to swirl around Geron, sealing up his wounds as the energy becomes blindingly bright, and finally emits a brilliant flash.

Geron sits up slowly, regaining his breath. Prekan speaks:

>Chapter Master.......I........how......no matter, you must follow me, I will lead you to Captain Arcon

Chapter Master retrieves the star of macragge and follows Prekan, whilst ordering Geron and the other marines which, upon seeing the chaotic beast take form, realised the treachery of ‘Tacitarius’ and the heresy they had comitted:

>Geron, gather the bodies of the fallen in here, along with all the stolen Revenant armour. These marines did not deserve the fate they were pushed into by the ruinous powers.

+Ludrum
+Chiron
+Kerberos(armed with Tacitarius' plasma pistol)
+Waran(armed with Flamer)
+Apothecary Filios

It wasn't possible to retrieve any armour.

Soulkillers are greatly confused and worried, their combat efficiency is dubious, but they now follow you. Prekan informs you, that there are two more newly initiated Revenants with stolen suits, loyal to the Captain Arcon, who was last time he contacted him in Hive Poseidon(2 hours ago).

Do you have any other questions for him? What do you do?

Destiny is here, on Inaria, but hidden in the ocean. It is being prepared to leave... We knew you would come after us. However I am afraid we won't be able to convince our brothers to see the truth, they(and we) were warned that you are now a corrupted psyker, after all it was you who inflicted that terrible mutation on our beloved Captain...

>...I spied on you, milord. And I informed that you were indeed a psyker. It then became clear to Captain, that Tacitarius is right and that you are trying to make our Chapter fall from grace. You removed him from your way by mocking him in the face of all brothers by awarding him Sergeants' reward and then you signed away our sovereignity to a mortal lord. It became clear to us, that Soulkillers might be the last of the Ghosts that still don't bear taint... But now, after what I saw being born out of Tacitarius... How did it happen? Why?

Leutenant Cagirates replies:

Revenant Prekan answers:
>I know nothing of Dromog or his Kappa squad, last time i've seen them three days ago.

Captain Brethorius from Aspera Dominus answers:

To the Soulkiller marines near us
>You, make your way towards the hab blocks, as soulkillers you can move freely among the soul brothers.

To Geron
>Geron, go with the soulkillers, go invisible and arrive to Cagirates' position and tell them to let the soulkillers evacuate with them.

To Prekan
>Prekan, though your faith was ever strange, so far as I can tell it is fine so long as the sacrifices it requires does not spread to loyal Imperials. We are going to the Destiny, to get to Arcon.

Self, Imperium, Chapter, Mankind.

Tell me which should be sacrificed first, which should be sacrificed last.

I would give you answers to your questions if I had them, Prekan. I know only that I sacrificed my humanity to become an Angel of Death, and I would sell my life and self to save the Chapter. I would lead the Chapter into oblivion without hesitation to save the Imperium and Mankind. Of these two things I have no doubts, and I wake each day knowing that both may very well come to pass with no warning.

If our brothers are unable to see reason and attempt to escape, the chapter can not afford to allow a company to remain renegade. A company lost to preserve the chapter... if we can not convince them of Tacticarius' taint, that will be the price of this all."

Heavy armoured door slides behind you shut. And Prekan informs you over the vox that now the two of you are alone. You take a look across the hall and you see Arcon, standing in his power armour in front of multiple cogitators showing the maps of Inarian hives.
>Welcome back to Destiny, brother.
He welcomes you without even turning when he feels you nearby. You notice that his right arm is not armoured, but instead covered in huge red cloak, hidden from sight. But even so it was clear, that the limb was too massive and muscular even for an Astartes. Finally Arcon turns his helmless face to look at you and smiles:
>You shouldn't have come here. I ask of you - leave while you can.

My men won't trust you, because of what you did - casting away our sacred sovereignity and somehow becoming a secret psyker. Maybe this was the reason I mutated, maybe not, but I am now a tainted one. Your men won't trust me, a traitor, heretic, renegade who ran. I have no doubt that they have already struck me from their minds and hearts. And our faith - it is now tarnished, everyone will think that we all went same way as Tacitarius... Such things cannot be undone. And finally - someone needs to be guilty, someone needs to pay. I would gladly take that upon myself, but it won't safe my men.

>>22830072
I would ask the chance to speak to them never the less. If i could shed my own blood that our chapter might be whole again, i would gladly do so.

but if that is not possible, perhaps we may speak over the company vox. Give me a chance to bring those who would wish to return to their brothers with us.

>>22830072
Before we decide Arcon.
I want you to take my (plasma) pistol.
It has (helped or actually?) taken the lives of our battle brothers.
After you feel you have redeemed yourself, and this pistol in the name of the Emperor, I want you to come back to me.
Not as the traitor Arcon our brothers may know, but as my Battle Brother, the leader of the third Company.

>>22830129
>Yes, it will be possible, I will order my men to be prepared to hear you over the vox before we depart.
>>22830142
>You honour me.
He takes Star of Maccrage and examines beautiful weapon as "Destiny" starts to shake and breaks out from underneath the ocean, taking to the skies. As you reach lower orbit, Arcon turns to you:
>Let us go towards the shuttles, its already arranged for us to speak with them while on our way towards Aspera Dominus.

Bro too late for that, we'll just make him mad. Just roll with it.

I vote to veto this

>>22830251
Arcon looks at you in a very awkward way as you try to snatch the pistol out of his scabbard, but fail to open the magnetic lock.
>Should I give it back to you... Brother..?
You are standing in front of the shuttle doors.

Seriously Skargan?

Can we retroactively kill that part? I don't want one douche ruining the moment?

I thought it was about to slip out, but obviously not. I just really didn't want it to get lost just as we were about to depart. Obviously. Well, that ties up that nicely.

You shy away and reply to Arcon:
>I just wanted to feel it one last time. It was a good weapon. And you have a nice scabbard.
Arcon looks at you puzzled, but he tries to forget this situation as soon as possible.
>So should I go with you or will you let me guide my brothers in the Emperor's light? Soeron will take care of them... But he will never have the authority I have. And I am afraid that some of my brothers might have tendencies towards not exactly Imperial behaviour...

You push away dark thoughts about ripping that pistol away from Arcons hands... But you loved that weapon! It was so light, so powerful, so perfect! It was a precious gift! Yes, your precious precious gift. Who cares about some damn etiquette when your precious is in danger! Maybe you should strangle that bastard in his sleep and take it away..? Your poor precious... It is lost now! And...
>Brother? What are you thinking about? You grew silent so suddenly...
Arcon looks at you even more puzzled than before.
>I hope you are not planning to fight me... Please remember about the Last Arrow.
He draws his power sword.

You remove your hand that was nervously playing with the handle of your Power Gladius and smile at him. Arcon also sheathes his blade.
>I... I am afraid I changed my mind, brother.
He finally says.
>You'll have to do without me. Goodbye. He beckons you to go into the shuttle.

What do you do?

So let me get this straight.

We were about to have him come with us, then Tzeentch or some other asshole starts to laugh, we roll a 17, start acting sketch as fuck, Arcon gets nervous and changes his mind; and we get fucked?

I'm confused.

>>22830757
Something like that. The part where you started acting weird at first was by PC, but afterwards Laughing God, Cegorach(he owns part of your soul for more than a decade) started making fun of you, but you resisted... mostly. But Arcon got frightened, yes.

Session over fo today.
