God Emperor's page

The Guilded Widow was actually in the room all the other items were holograms so you already know where it is. Illidan actually never saw the other items just the holograms since he was kicked out.

Mindblade escorts Rubio to his quarters which was down the hall and he collects some weapons and armor and some other rather expensive looking items.

While they are gone Octavia and her men return and close the door behind them. She looks to the group.

"Now would you mind telling me why you think this Rogue Trader is a descendant of Haarlock and if he is why are we protecting him? You heard that thing if we hand over the blood of his line we will be set free if not we are all doomed to die here."

Octavia's Adept and Guards meet up with the group not to far down the hall and moments later Mindblade appears. Your still a ways off from the guest quarters. It takes you nearly an hour to get to the guest area. You run into a few nuisances along the way but nothing your large group couldn't handle.

Octavia and her men go to the room and gear up and meet you back in your room.

Rubio asks if he can go to his quarters to get his gear.

The first hit digs deep into the flesh of the man before you and you see insects escape from it's flesh. It's pretty damn gross!

The second hit hits him and rips more flesh off.

The third hit does the same but even after all that beat the man still stands before you with bugs flying around barely holding him together.

Illidan last time you tried to use a psychic power on the relics remember what happened?

Nonesuch Servants
Attack 1: 1d100 ⇒ 10 vs 40
Attack 2: 1d100 ⇒ 66 vs 50
Damage 1d5 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 doesn't do enough to penetrate your armor.

Round 7:
Mindblade - 9
Master Nonesuch - 8
Nonesuch Servants (3) - 5

Mindblade
You can do acrobatics again to disengage and GTFO of here.

Your not sure where the relics are actually stored. If you want to find them your going to have to look through this whole building probably :)

The God Emperor is surely protecting you this day.

The chaos in the room is dying down a bit as more people are dropping but it's still pretty nuts and bloody.

Round 7:
Mindblade - 9
Master Nonesuch - 8
Nonesuch Servants (3) - 5

Mindblade
If you make an acrobatics roll you scoot yourself out of this room without them attacking you this round.

The blade digs into the servants flesh as you can see now he is wearing no armor under hits tattered clothing but the cut does not go deep. There is something strange about his flesh and your blade does not cut that deep only leaving a small mark.

Master Nonesuch
He appears to be getting a little upset that you keep dodging his shots and takes another.

Attack 1d100 ⇒ 24 vs 55
Please make a dodge check

Octavia Adept
He is now out of the room with the guards.

Abbat Tomas
He is now out of the room with his servants. The Daemosn continue to slaughter.

Nonesuch Servants
They continue to attack Mindblade only 2 this time.
Attack 1: 1d100 ⇒ 19
Attack 2: 1d100 ⇒ 92
Damage: 1d5 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Again his fist bounces off your armor.

WP Test 1d100 ⇒ 38

Round 6:
Octavia Guards (2) - 11
Lanus Cisten - 10
Mindblade - 9
Master Nonesuch - 8
Octavia Adept - 8
Abbot Tamas of Shale - 8
Nonesuch Servants (3) - 5

The Daemons appear to be staying away from Master Nonesuch. when they get semi close they shriek and fly away to another target.

Octavia Guard
Their eyes finally go back to normal and book out of here full speed with the adept to meet up with their master.

Lanus
Still can't see him. Probably dead.

Mindblade
What do you want to do?

Master Nonesuch
He makes a sound which could only be a laugh but it's hard to tell with all the insect like ticks in it and sends another pulling wave of nasty energy toward Mindblade with no regard for his servants.

Attack 1d100 ⇒ 23 vs 45
Please make a dodge check

Octavia Adept
He continues to lead the guards out ignoring the combat around him.

Abbot Tomas
The Abbot and his minions begin making their way out of the room while the daemons he spawned reign down hell upon the occupants.

Nonesuch Servants (3)
They all feel the psychic powered bladed of Mindblade and turn toward him swinging their fists.

Attack 1: 1d100 ⇒ 11 vs 40
Attack 2: 1d100 ⇒ 91 vs 50 (gangup)
Attack 3: 1d100 ⇒ 70 vs 50 (gangup)
Damage 1: 1d5 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Being a bare fisted punch you feel it hit you but your armor and toughness absorb it well enough to not affect you.

All misses unless you spend fate point to re-roll

Rest in hallways
All your visions return and continue making your way back toward the guest quarters. Along the way you encounter a few hostiles be it adepts or mourners and your group easily dispatches them. Octavia seems a bit uneasy being without her guards so close but continue on. Your all moving very slowly not trying to run into any ambushes.

You can do full action on nearest one.

Rubio looks a bit upset at Nihil's remark.

"I do not know what you talk of and as far as I'm aware my family has no connection to the Haarlock bloodline. I only came here to possibly acquire some rare artifacts to bring up my families standing but looks where we are now. We are all as good as dead!"

He begins to break down a bit and Octavia slaps him on the back of the head.

"Calm down Rogue Trader!"

She glares at Nihil a bit.

Round 5:
Octavia Guards (2) - 11 (blind 1)
Lanus Cisten - 10
Mindblade - 9
Master Nonesuch - 8
Octavia Adept - 8
Abbot Tamas of Shale - 8
Nonesuch Servants (3) - 5

In the halls your group keeps heading toward the guest rooms. At this pace it will take some time with all the bodies and having to be careful not to get to greedy with your movements and run into to much trouble.

Octavia Guards
They strike back at Nonesuch servants.
Attack: 1d100 ⇒ 93
Attack: 1d100 ⇒ 65
Damage: 1d5 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Damage: 1d5 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
The hits seem to have no affects on Nonesuch servants.

Lanus Cisten
Still no sight of him.

Mindblade
Please make your dodge check before acting this round

Master Nonesuch
He speaks in a language you don't understand almost sounding like insects and points his scepter toward Mindblade and it pulses with sickly light and unleashes arcs of eerie, moaning energy when fired.
Ballistic Check 1d100 ⇒ 40 vs 55
You can dodge this

Octavia Adept
He moves to the 2 guards and starts leading them out of the room.

Abbot Thomas
He raises his hands and speaks some unholy words and from all the death and carnage spawns unclean spirit deaemons! About a dozen of them spring up into the material world through the weakened veil.

Nonesuch Servants
The three of them charge toward Octavia's men and engage in combat with their fists.
Attack WS 1d100 ⇒ 37 vs 40
Attack WS 1d100 ⇒ 49 vs 40
Attack WS 1d100 ⇒ 65 vs 40
Damage 1d5 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Adept Parry 1d100 ⇒ 28

Nonesuch Servants
They continue to protect their master

Quill
He is out of here with Vymer.

Octavia Nile
"We need to get to our quarters to get our equipment or else we midas well lay down for this massacre!" she motions for her adept and he falls back a bit waiting for the others.

Most of you have made it out of the room now except for Mindblade who stood back a bit and Octavias Adept. In the halls up ahead there are bodies all over. The massacre did not just happen in the room you were in. This place must house over a hindered mourners and they all synchronized their attacks. Adpets, PDF and general staff litter the halls with blood everywhere.

For those of you outside of the room will now be considered out of combat and can continue to whatever your going and interact with Octavia and Rubio as needed.

Round 4 (only top dogs still in room still lot of mourners and screaming adepts)
Octavia Guards (2) - 11 (blind 2)
Lanus Cisten - 10 (blind 1)
Mindblade - 9
Master Nonesuch - 8

Nonesuch Servants (3) - 5

Octavia Gaurds
They appear to just keeping enemies away from them even though they are blind.

Lanus
He can't be seen. Possibly dead.

Mindblade
What do you do?

The mourner is stuck by a barrage of force bolts and is flung to the side motionless. Magyar grins in your directions and bolts for another exit.

Master Nonesuch
He continues to swing his weapon around but not connecting with anyone this round as everyone is kind of scared of him.

Ocatvia Adept
Escaping with you all out of this room.

Abbot Tamas
Abbot looks toward where the force bolts came from and whispers words of unnatural origin grinning as he does so.
Psychic Test 2d10 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 6 = 12
Anyone with Psychic abilities feels that this whole room's connection to the warp has just been enhanced bringing this world closer to the warp.

Nihil
Assume you continue to follow them out since your blind.

Auraxis
What do you do? Continue to escape you will be out of the room this round.

Captain Rubio
Rubio looks to your group as you approach him and keeps moving as he talks. "Who are you and why do you want to help me?"

Lanus Cisten
He vanishes in the bodies on the ground. Your unsure if he's dead or alive.

Mindblade
[ooc]What do you want to do? Basically at the end of this round you will be out of the room and in hallways.[/b]

The auction items weren't actually in the same room as you guys they were just holographic images that were on display for them. You all just gonna leave blind Illidan there?

Nonesuch Servants
They just stand near their master watchful of everything going on around them.

Quill
He is being dragged out by Vymer and still looks shocked by the events unfolding.

Octavia Nile
She nods in agreement with her adept and yells to her other 2 servants to follow quickly and she makes her way out with your group.

All over there is death and screaming! Many of the adepts are now dead that were hosting the party. There are still about a dozen mourners running around with their knives. All the PDF are now dead. You can hear yelling from the halls as it seems like the chaos is not only in this room.

Vymer
He makes it out one of the exits with Quill.
There are multiple exits to this room

Magyar Marshrek
He engages one of the Mourners and you see him bleeding a bit but appears to be holding his own even with no weapon in hand. Another mourners is approaching from his rear.

Octavia Guards
They hear their master and start walking toward her voice but very slowly and carefully as they are still blinded.
Agility Test 1d100 ⇒ 46

Illidan
What do you do?

Auraxis
Your up. Mindblade is starting to lead Nihil out of here followed by Octavia and her Adept.

Greel
Greel is gone...

Master Nonesuch
Master Nonesuch clicks a button on his cane and it transforms resembling a corroded copper sceptre. Some kind of nasty bio-looking weapon and he swings it wide getting lucky hitting a mourner that was approaching him and the mourner. The mourner lets out a eerie shriek and then turns into ash as his body is disintegrated.

Octavia Adept
The hooded man moves close to Octavia "We need to get out of here now mistress!"

Abbot Tamas of Shale
Abbot Tamas speaks some words of dark sorcery holding his hands out in a crushing motion at one of the approaching mourners.
Psy Test 2d10 + 6 ⇒ (7, 6) + 6 = 19 vs 18
WP Test Vs Toughness of opponent
WP 1d100 ⇒ 16
Tough 1d100 ⇒ 87
You see the mourners head collapse in on itself and blood burst everywhere. Abbot Tamas grin grows extremely wide at the visage he just created.

Nihil
You are blind and Mindblade just grabbed you trying to pull you out of here. What do you want to do?

If any of you have Forbidden Lore Xenos you may make a roll to figure out what Nonesuch is.

Captain Rubio
He looks to his men who are either blind or crying on the ground and starts to make his way toward the exit.

Lanus Cisten
He wanders aimlessly blind and trips over a body.

Mindblade
What do you do? If your going for Nonesuch his guards are right next to him and are not blinded.

Yep that's the idea. I'll be home a little after 8 I'm sure you guys will probably still be eating or farting or something like that :)

hero point spent!
2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

Reflex Save for Otho!

Nonesuch Servants Toughness 1d100 ⇒ 44 vs 35

Fear Test 1d100 ⇒ 60 vs 40

Octavia Nile Toughness 1d100 ⇒ 14

Vymer
Vymer grabs his companion Quill and starts making for the exit.

Magyar Marshrek
He starts yelling and also goes for the exit but is intercepted by 2 mourners who start to attack him.

Octavia Guards
They are still blinded and put their fists up as if to protect themselves and appear to know how to fight quite well even when blinded as they disable a mourner that approaches them.

Illidan
[ooc]You are blind what do you want to do?[/b]

Vymer Willpower 1d100 ⇒ 39 vs 40
Greel is running out of the room no fear test needed
Octavia Adept Willpower 1d100 ⇒ 61 vs 17

Auraxis now has a Las Pistol in his hand.

Greel doesn't seem to be affected by the blinding flash. He looks quickly at the chaos in the room and runs for an exit.

Master Nonesuch Toughness 1d100 ⇒ 80 vs 58
Nonesuch lets out an inhuman screech as he is blinded by the flash and rips at his face showing what appears to be swarms of maggots and insects that make up his body.

If you are not blind now you need to make a Fear check (fear rating 3) Willpower -20. Because i'm a nice GM I will allow Auraxis to activate one of his powers to help with this if he wishes for cinematic!

Octavia Adept Toughness 1d100 ⇒ 46 vs 46
Octavia's hooded adept that always followed her around springs into action landing a flurry of blows onto the nears Mourner dropping him into an armlock breaking the arm. He appears to be very skilled in street fighting.

Abbot Tamas of Shale Toughness 1d100 ⇒ 85 vs 40
Abbot covers his eyes due to the blinding flash.

Nihil
Make Toughness first if you make that then it's WP test for fear.

Vymer
Vymer and Quill do not seem shocked by the turn of events and act as cool as ice. Vymer reaches very quickly into his jacket and pulls something small out that was easy to conceal pulls the pin and tosses it when it detonates it lights up like a star everyone must make Toughness tests.

Magyar Marshrek
Toughness Test 1d100 ⇒ 89 vs 40
Magyar yells out and stumbles as the grenade goes off. He appeared to be trying to make it for the exit.

Illidan
Make toughness test before action

Below is a breakdown of "key" players in the room and scrubs

Lanus Cisten (and his friend)
Vymer - Bounty Hunter
Quill - Bounty Hunter
Octavia Nile (and her 3 bodyguards)
Abbot Tamas of Shale (and his 5 clerics)
Captain Rubio of the "Ozmandius" (and his 5 crew)
Magyar Marshrek
Master Nonesuch (and his 3 bodyguards)
Greel

There are a bunch of adepts, pdf, mourners and servants running around all crazy now.

Remember none of you have weapons unless you have powers at your disposal. If your intention is to attack just roll init for now and I will roll for those you wish to attack as well. i don't want to roll for everyone in this room will just interact with who your interacting with the rest will be done via dialog from me.

Magyar Marshrek stands pushing his fur pelts over his shoulder.

"I have a question for you! Is Haarlock truely dead?"

The automaton shifts it's gaze toward him. "The traveller and the scion both do live, one without and the other within. Blood of his blood, born of his line, flesh so frail caught in this web, death shall be their inheritance. Haarlock returns and hell follows with him!"

At this last pronouncement, the Mourners fall to their knees wailing and screaming as the whole structure starts to shake and a roar echoes up from the bowels of the earth. The lights flicker and distant explosions can be heard, servo-skulls drop from the air, and servitors collapse lifeless. After a few moments, the complex stops shaking and the roar steadies down to a continuous low rumble.

"Know this, the traveller has set our course and the ship cannot be turned. Thirteen hours you have, thirteen hours until his wrath drowns you all in fire and ash, sealed here in the tomb that has been prepared. Fitting punishment for you who would take from him what is his. Never do you learn the lessons of the past, doomed to repeat history’s sins. But first you will suffer, first you will be shriven!

"You have but one chance and one chance alone to placate the traveller. One gift will assuage his just fury: Give me the blood of the scion of Haarlock, let it flow to fill this chalice and you shall live, but if my cup remains empty the Children of the Kingdom will gnaw your flesh and darkness will bury your bones."

There is a few moments of shocked silence, followed by Master Nonesuch smiling and slowly applauding, whilst some of the more quick-witted attendees begin to flee, and a lot of people pick themselves up off the floor, dazed and confused by the shocking turn of events.

Provost Bland staggers dazed to his feet and cries out, asking what it all means, at which point Greel rears up behind him screaming "Fools! You are trapped here, buried alive! Death to the defilers of the tombs! Death to those who profane his name by stealing from our master!"

At which point a power blade springs from his staff to form a scythe and he cuts Provost Bland in two in a welter of gore.

The mourners start wailing "We are the dead!" and draw silver blades from beneath their robes and fall upon bystanders and guards attacking indiscriminately. The chaos spreads quickly!

Please roll initiative and decide what you want to do as this place went super crazy super fast!

Master Nonesuch chuckles at the comment made by Mindblade. The automaton clicks a bit "Someone who shares the same fate as you all."

There is a bit of outbursts in the room amongst the guests and Greel slams his staff on the stage.

"Silence! Only one question at a time and any question you have must be asked here."

The automaton hums lightly a bit as it's gears shift and turn.

Your all forgetting one important question

Master Nonesuch lets out a loud laugh at Mindblades next question and the automaton looks toward Illidan.

"Time is meaningless in the eyes of the dark traveler. In the end your bones will join with those who have got in his path before you."

It now looks toward Mindblade "There is no avoiding the unavoidable."

Captain Rubio speaks up "What is to come dark creature."

It shifts it's head toward Rubio "The black sun burns and he comes, riding its wake. The last voyager, the herald of all woes. At its passing the eye shall be snuffed out, the carrion lords thrown down, and the hungering ones torn from the outer dark. All this I see cast amid these cold stars."

You can see Rubio shiver a bit at it's reply.

Octavia stands up and asks. "If you are what you say you are and the creation of him then what are we in this?"

The automaton turns it's head towards her. "You are serpents of lies and self-deluded fools. You seek for much yet know little. You are those who have come to despoil the house of the dead only to join its number."

Octavia looks taken aback by it's replay and look of disgust on her face as if she can destroy it with just a thought. Others in the room do not look to pleased by it's comments as well. Master Nonesuch seems to be the only one enjoying the show right now.

845,000

The Automaton shifts its head slightly toward Nihil "He who travels the stars and blood stains this galaxy.

The "whole" auditorium

All of you know immediately and without doubt that the whole auditorium has been filled with a presence of ancient and implacable evil.

Most of the crowd seems to be in a bit of shock of what is transpiring. Master Nonesuch just sits there smiling with his guards standing still.

Lanus speaks up first "Who are you?"

The Gilded Widow responds slowly "I am she who my father froze in her beauty and her grief; alone and weeping forever I shall sit, cursed to foretell and to know, but never act or feel, save for the void that hungers evermore within."

There were a few people already here that came via other methods. Nonesuch didn't travel with you guys either nor Magyar Marshrek.

Master Nonsuch makes a huge grin up at Nihil and nods his head.

"Going once! Going twice! SOLD!

Before the next item is brought on stage a number of Mourners drift silently into attendance, including Greel, who leans on a very heavy and ornate crooked iron staff. Before matters resume, there is some commotion between the mourners and advocates, and eventually a troubled looking Bland returns to the podium to speak.

"Before bidding is commenced on the greater lots, several parties have requested…and the High Mourner has insisted… against my wishes, that a demonstration be carried out, before its sale, of the oracular device known as the Gilded Widow."

Carried reverentially on a litter by six Mourners, the Gilded Widow on her throne is brought to the dais beside Bland. Greel removes a heart-shaped ruby crystal that pulses slowly with a crimson inner light from within his robes and fits the “heart” into the Widow’s chest. The transformation is sudden and remarkable, and the gilded figure shudders to life. Elegant metal fingers cut and spin the cards from the tarot deck, as Greel and the Mourners back away from the dais, bowing as shocked gasps and murmurs escape the crowd. The Gilded figure lifts her face and eyes of uttermost cold darkness to study the crowded auditorium.

"ASK AND BE ANSWERED," the gilded Widow states in an empty, mocking voice.

you need me to send you updated sheet or you good? I updated it on my side.

he been building up his abilities over the last few months! :)

Rubio has 10 crew members with him. He did not come here on the vessel you did.
