alright quick and dirty, this quest is not for die hard lovers of cannon since fun and shenanigans beat cannon for the most part. Though I will accept info about the warhammer 40k universe general rule of thumb is fun is king here

For roll questions you want to roll below the DC I give for a success as per warhammer 40k rules, for Psychic powers you must make one success and one failure or a random effect from the warp phenomena table will be rolled along with the intended action.

You quickly decide the best thing to do now that the cultists are once more in disarray is to assist Valrisa in her attempted removal of Lust of the face of the imperium.

Wit this in mind you begin shooting around Lust, not actually aiming anywhere in particular but instead attempting to limit her options of movement.

Lust nimbly dodges your shots with grace beyond human capabilities and coos towards you "Oh thank you for the added entertainment, I was getting bored with your snarling friend."

Lust lands smiling at you completely forgetting Valrisa for a moment, but that was all she needed as her chainsword rips it's way though Lust's leg.

as the creature falls to the ground, her eyes opening with a small amount of shock that she actually got hit Valrisa brings her chainsword down on her throat.

the gurgling and half screams that came afterward were quite gratifying considering how much this bitch had mocked you.

Valrisa rips her weapons from the creature's now twitching corpse, the red light in her eyes seems to have faded but was still a bit there. "Nice work Simun."

"Don't mention it." you look at the cultists and note that many had just dropped their weapons, they were completely in shock that their leader had been slain. "so what do we do with them?"

"well we could capture them, or we could just kill them all. Your call." Valrisa responds revving her chainsword and eyeing the corpse for movement.

>[1] Execute the cultist scum, they turned from the light of the emperor and so they shall burn in it.
>[2] Press them into your service, give them a chance to serve the imperium as servitors and slaves. Sure not a pleasant existence but better than death.
>[3] ask Valrisa why she keeps eyeing the corpse, also what was with the red eye thing earlier.

remember this quest only goes as fast as the votes come in.

>>1924210
>>[3] ask Valrisa why she keeps eyeing the corpse, also what was with the red eye thing earlier.

I gotta pass out for now but I'll be back at 10 am to write, see you then.

"Mirasi, Terisa keep an eye on the cultists. If any of them try to run or attack gun them all down." you order your companions before turning towards Valrisa.

"what is it inquisitor?"

"alright you are going to answer me some questions. First off what was that red glow in your eyes, I quite sure that is not natural."

"red glow? what are you talking about?"

"when you started fighting your eyes turned red, like really fucking red. Have you been around any chaos artifacts recently?"

"not that I'm aware of."

"drink demon blood?"

"NO!"

"alright so you don't remember actually getting so angry you stopped swearing and started snarling at Lust."

"that I remember, whenever I see a cultist of Slaanesh I just get really fucking pissed off Never been able to figure out why."

"alright but I'm reporting this to Markal, and the reason for watching the dead body?"

"never think that an enemy is dead until the body is incinerated especially these types, see more than one acolyte die because they thought they managed to kill a demonhost."

"understood." you point your thumb towards the promethium in the room "want to use that?"

"perfect, now please leave me to my work." Valrisa states before muttering under her breath "least I can do for family."

>[1] Wait family? what are you going on about Valrisa!
>[2] ignore the last comment and proceed to judge the cultists as guilty and kill them all
>[3] ignore the last comment and proceed to judge the cultists as guilty and force them into imperial service

>>1925522
>[3]
Leave her be for now, we can always ask her about the family stuff after she has calmed down and properly quenched her murderlust.

>>1925522
Ask cultists if they repent. If they don’t then:
>>[2] ignore the last comment and proceed to judge the cultists as guilty and kill them all

If they do then
>>[3] ignore the last comment and proceed to judge the cultists as guilty and force them into imperial service

>>1925522
[3]
>>1925698
yeah that sounds like a plan

A plan it is, also we are the inquisition we dont ask for repentance we force it.

>>1925709
I mean we shoot those who would resist being forced

>>1925522
>[3] ignore the last comment and proceed to judge the cultists as guilty and force them into imperial service

You turn away from Valrisa ignoring the mumbleing, you will ask about it later but for now the pressing matter.

"Alright cultists I have decided to spare your pitiful lives," you see the cultists relax but then you smile and a few of them notice and begin sweating "but on the condition that you become slaves for the imperium. these terms are non-negotiable."

you notice one cultists attempting to edge towards a door, you wait for him to run and he obliges.... only to have his head liberated from his body.

"though," you point at the now dead cultist "that is the other option if you prefer."

the remaining cultists bow their heads and raise their hands and supplication to your decision. you smile, today was a good day to be an inquisitor.

you hear valrisa douse the corpse with promethium and begin dousing the walls of the building with the foul smelling fuel.

quickly you grab some rope and tie the cultist together, you note there are only seven left from the initial gathering.

as you and your crew exit the building you see Valrisa pull out a lighter and chuck it into the building causing the promethium to ignite, the building is quickly engulfed in a torrent of fire. you doubt anything could survive that.

>[1] take your newly acquired slaves to the local techpriests, lets get them servitored and explosive collared.
>[2] split up, have two of your people deal with the slaves while you and another report your success to Markal and get the lockdown off your ship
>[3] alright since we are done here lets get in contact with Phe'nia and see how much time we have to answer that fucking eldar who threatened us with blackholes.

>[1] Mirasi
>[2] Terisa

>>1925927
>[3] Valrisa
We need to keep an eye on her as she showed some weird stuff. We don’t have enough data on other two to decide who is more of a suspect

>>1925955
second

alright, writing.

"Valrisa you are with me." you state giving little room for argument, though there was none to be had anyways.

Mirasi and Terisa grab the vehicle and force the slaves to squeeze into the obviously too small transport and drives off.

You on the other hand flag down a Imperial guard trasport "You going topside?"

"ya yer wan on?" the driver chews out his words, almost as bad as an ork.

you open the vehicle and enter with Valrisa behind you and sit down, you look around and see about twenty guardsmen some old and other young, one female sticks out of the crowd kicking her feet and humming a holy chant.

the armored transport starts again and several guadsmen look at you "So wat yu be?" one of them spits out, his slack features and horrible speech betraying his idiocy.

>[1] I am a Inquisitor, now shut up unless you have something important to say.
>[2] Guardsmen, just different regiment. (fel)
>[3] shrug at him and tell him take a guess
>[4] write-in

Ill be back at about 5:30 pm.

>>1926073

[3]
I want to see the Guardsmen guess

waitin for more votes

>>1926073
>>[3] shrug at him and tell him take a guess

alright 3 won, writing.

You give the guardsman a bemused grin "take a guess, I'll tell you if you are right."

the guardsman stares at you squinting his eyes a few times and tapping his helmet "erm..... ah... Commissar rigt ya gotta be, guardmen don get such flashy bits."

"Close but no."

"so den wha are ya."

"I only said I would tell you if you guessed it."

"Ah shite." the guardsman swears before smiling "Wai you neva seed tat we got onla one chunce." you wince at his butchering of low gothic and wonder if he actually has brain damage from the smoke and ash he probably was inhaling.

you swear twenty minutes passed of him taking guesses and all of them being wrong. but the man was stubborn and you gotta give him that, most people probably would have given up on the fifth but here he was on the thirtieth try.

"ya a genurol."

"you asked that before and no."

the driver shouts "Alright ya lads and lasses, this is where I drop ye." and the doors open, you and the guardsmen walk out.

the transport quickly does a 180 and drives back the way it came, presumably to get more guardsmen.

"Alright lass spill it, what are you." one of the guardsmen asks pushing the presumed brain damaged one out of the way.

"Hay the rules of the game are you have to guess."

"Fine fuck it wild guess time, I guess you are a fucking inquisitor."

"correct."

"Ya I knew I was wro-...... come again?"

"you got it right now I must be on my way." you turn away from the now stunned guardsmen and head in the direction of Markal's office.

a block later you realize this may take a while on foot.

>[1] call in a transport from the ship, we want to get there fast.
>[2] commandeering a vehicle, sure not as fast as a transport from a ship but will probably be a bit more low profile.
>[3] continue walking, good for the legs
>[4] write-in

>>1927110
>[3] continue walking, good for legs
Excersizing is a crucial part of healthy living you know.

>>1927110
[2]
Lets get on with it, and avoid random encounters.

>>1927110
>>[2] commandeering a vehicle, sure not as fast as a transport from a ship but will probably be a bit more low profile.

Alright I'll be back at 6pm tomorrow sorry for the wait on this quest but life calls and I can't put it on hold.

alright sorry I am late, traffic is a hell of a thing. Writing.

You look around and realize walking in a planet in the middle of a fight against chaos is a bad idea. and so you walk over to a civilian transport and wrench the door open. After a brief search you find the keys and turn the transport on.

you shift a bit in the seat, alright ya this is actually more comfy than you are used too, kinda nice really.

Valrisa enters into the passenger side "I put a note down for the owner, courtesy."

"what did you write?"

"Apologize for taking your vehicle, it was for the good of the Imperium. The guard will return it as soon as possible. Signed Imperium authorities."

"well at least they will know."

"all honesty I doubt this thing will last us an hour but hay hope is a thing."

at that you drive off in the metal box you have fitted yourself in, as you drive though the streets you see more and more violence and chaos. Guardsmen gunning down masses, inquisitors dragging away screaming men and women with odd smiles on their face. Finally several space marines arguing with an inquisitor pointing at a child as it cowers behind the marine.

you realize that it was getting late since you had exited that furnace that is a hive city and head to the guardsman base.

As you arrive you realize something is rather wrong, for one several guardsmen are dead and a chaos star is drawn on the wall.... shit.

>[1] alright now we call air support, if something can hit a guardsman base this hard then it must be strong.
>[2] call up mirasi and terisa to get the hell over here, this is fucking bad
>[3] get out of the car calmly, if something hit here instincts tell you that it probably is watching you and waiting. remain calm and prepared as you enter the building.
>[4] write-in

>>1932061

Do [2] and then [3] while also informing allies that this apparently happened

I'll be back at 10am pst to check on the votes, see you then.

>>1932485
Supporting

writing.

you pull out your vox, if the chaos cult can hit this far back in our lines that means we have a serious problem."Mirasi do you read me? Mirasi!"

you call over and over into your vox only to get static, shit is this thing broken?

"Inquisitor I believe the enemy is using the jamming equipment in the building."

"so how do we fix that."

"we go in and shut the damned thing off, how else would you disable something like that?"

"fine but we are going to need support and soon."

You and Valrisa remove yourselves from the vehicle and calmly walk up to the door, you test it and it opens.

Inside the building more chaos iconography can be seen as well as more corpses, you grab a few extra grenades off them. Seems the cultists were not interested in looting odd and slightly disturbing, either they were too fast to loot or whatever hit here has no use for ranged weaponry.

alright so you entered the building and nothing has attacked you yet, what now?

>[1] stealth is our best bet here, the thing probably knows we are in the building but not where. time to sneak around and find it before it finds us. (agx2, wp tgh)
>[2] pull out your guns and give a war cry, this thing had the gall to attack a military base, lets give it a reason to fear us (bsx2, ag, tgh)
>[3] have Valrisa take point, you are injured and have yet to get medical attention (valrisa ws, bs, valrisa tgh)

>>1933288
>>[1] stealth is our best bet here, the thing probably knows we are in the building but not where. time to sneak around and find it before it finds us. (agx2, wp tgh)

>>1933288
I'm torn between 1 and 3 as we are injured but stealth might be our best bet...

>>[1]

alright give me a 3d100 vs 57, 47, 72, 32

Rolled 93, 46, 1 = 140 (3d100)

>>1941600
come on numbers!

oops I ment 4d100, crap.... we will keep your crit but reroll that

Rolled 89, 62, 24, 87 = 262 (4d100)

>>1941723
come on crits

2 fail 2 success with one critical, well writing.

You hold your hand up and valrisa stops "what is it."

"the thing that assaulted this place is probably big and strong. we dont have the numbers to take another demon so we do this stealthy."

"alright, so how? this place has cameras everywhere."

"what about the vents?"

"wait, you know how cliche that is."

"yes but if it works on holovids it works for me."

you walk over to a vent and open the cover, good just big enough for you to crawl through, if you were in your original form you would have some problems... we still need to figure out how we actually got stuck in the first place since polymorphine does not last this long.

you and Valrisa begin crawling though the vents, several times you accidentally make quite a bit of sound but nothing seems to respond.

eventually you reach the vent opening leading into Markal's office, as you peer though the vent you see three figures, first Markal who is alive thank the emperor but chained up, then some big fucking monster with red skin four arms and a chainsword in each one, then there is Thera who leans over and whispers to the monster before leaving.

the monster sniffs and looks around, it suddenly looks at the vent and walks up to it, it closes its eyes and it's wolf like ears twitch.

you and Valrisa freeze as the beast listens for several minutes before grunting and leaving the room growling on the way out "stupid Bird, I heard no human."

you gingerly open the vent several minutes after the thing left the room, as you land you wince as the scabs on your new wounds crack open (-3 wounds) and you hold down a yell of pain.

>[1] quickly free Markal, we need to get him out of here and get to that jamming device. (agx2, int)
>[2] check the room for anything useful and see if you can find some security override on the console, this room is the command room (intx2, per)
>[3] check to make sure this Markal is the real Markal, demons are tricky and you can never be too sure (perx2 int)
>[4] write-in

(on other news I got someone to draw Thera so now we can see what the pain in the neck looks like, it will take a few days before it's ready though)

>>1941933
>[3]
Then if it is the real markal
>[1]
Then
>[2]

>>1941933
[3]

3 won so give me a roll 3d100 vs 59, 39, 43

Rolled 56, 73, 7 = 136 (3d100)

>>1942073

waitin for more rolls

alright I'm going to write the next bit and then pass out, I'll be back around 10am and see what has happened.

You look around the room to check for any hidden surprises before walking up to Markal. he looks up wearily before his eyes open wide and you cover his mouth to stop him for saying anything.

"Markal dont say a damned thing." you whisper "alright test time to make sure you are the real thing, what did I look like when you recruited me."

you remove your hand and he begins talking "Guardsman, you had just gotten back from fighting nids, about 5'8", black hair, pale skin, brown eyes."

"correct, alright" you check him to find any odd looks, maybe a scar that was not supposed to be there or a chaos symbol hidden, it comes up with nothing.

"He's real," you begin to unhook him, finding several points where the chain was rigged to tighten if you undid it you bypass then and eventually free the man "what happened?"

"I swear I barely knew myself, at first nothing was happening and suddenly thirty cultists and two demons appeared on our doorstep. blew down the door and cut though the men here like a hot knife though butter."

ya that is bad "any idea on the demons"

"the blue one is a standard lord or should I say lady of change, expect a lot of psyker abilities, and the other is a massive herald of khorne, though they seem to be on quite bad terms."

"Herald?"

"a lesser demon but extremely powerful one. not many of them, dont fight it directly hurting it only makes it stronger."

"so how do we beat it?"

"you have a sniper Simun, blow it's brains out it will die like anything else."

"right but what do you mean by bad terms."

"well they just left the room after quite the heated argument about what to do with me. The lady wanted me alive for some reason, something about bait, while the herald wanted my head. they were about to come to blows before she left."

"interesting. Anything else?"

"well if you get me to the Cogitator I can get the systems online again, also get that jammer down."

"how do you know the jammer is up?"

"implant in my head lets me connect to the vox waves around me, good for picking up enemy chatter."

"ah."

>[1] get Markal to the Cogitator so he can do what he needs to do.
>[2] tell him to tell you how to do it, you still dont know of the cultists have or haven't messed with his head (fel)
>[3] tell him you are getting out of there now, even if the systems are online its still three of us vs thirty cultists and two demons (fel, agx2)
>[4] write-in
