Dark Heresy - Haarlock's Legacy (Inactive)

Game Master Nethru

You all start heading in the direction Illidan leads which is on the way back to where the auction was held. You meet some minor resistance along the way but nothing your large group can't handle. There are far to many dead in this place now it's almost unreal, you didn't even realize how many people actually worked here.

One thing you notice is that all the servitors were shut down when the auction went nuts. There must have been some switch to cut them off by the mourners so they would not interfere in their plans.

Along the way you come across a large man you seen with Rubio before. Rubio smiles a bit and waves to the big man. He looks to be injured.

anyway I can hack the servitors overriding their primary funtions nd have them act as body guards. Or at least get intel or this place. If they were used by mourners I can get info about the crypts how to gain access or any relevance? !!

(Probably have to get to the switch and turn them back on. Wanna take a guess who has it?)

(Was hoping I can cross some wires likes a car, or divert battery power from once electronic source to another. at least access an led screen to get some info. Its a long shot but im trying.)

(at the very least, I think this shows us tha either this whole thing was completely rushed to begin with or the man in charge of the operation is completely incompetent)

Sardon nods to the big man, "Who is he to you Rubio?"

roj walks past the guy auto gun trained on him as he walks past. as he looks injured and non threatening Roj contines surveying the land moving towards his destination stopping to inspect one of the downed servitors

any thing useful To search for. Guns, id, thrones

"He is my head of security."

The big man watches Illidan as he comes close and Rubio motions for him to come to the group and he does so. He has a bolt pistol in hand. The big man nods to Rubio and informs him that the rest of the crew that were here are dead. He seems a bit shook up about what happened in the auction room.

tech use at a -30 to turn on a servitor and find any use full information as stated by G emp
1d100 ⇒ 45 vs 22
roj vents in frustration and kicks over the servitor.

"What a charming reunion... Shall we proceed?"

Illidan attempts to kick start a servitor you pass but has no luck. These things are far beyond his abilities.

Illidan leads you all back into the room of death. There does not appear to be anyone left alive in here. The daemons and heretics are gone. The pull seems to be here but you do not see the items.

"alright listen up ladies, the extent of my mind brings us here. Back to square one the items should be secured around this area. We can split up and cover more area. Try not to get your selves dead" roj says with a chuckle... roj looks around the room for any entry/exit points not obvious to the eye where the autobot was rolled in 1d100 ⇒ 35 vs 45 success w/ 1DOS

As you examine the room you notice the doorway they used to bring in the Widow and surprisingly just beyond it is the Widow itself. It is not moving but faces in your general direction.

roj raises its gun to her, speaking through his vox " target acquired! " roj moves in after alerting the others of his position in the doorway. Moving in making a series of checks for traps, and bodies roj scans the room with the widow

Nihil casually rolls his eyes. Give a sewer dregs the responsibility of point man and suddenly he thinks he's the Imperial Warmaster himself... Ohwell.

"Roj, try not shooting the defenseless machine, would you dear boy?..."

" we have what most have been looking for here sir. Any new orders? "

are the other items in The room
Roj release the psy power to find the items.

"Any other doors in that room Roj?"

Auraxis holds his bolt gun at the ready but does not enter the room.

"yes there is one behind the widow, I am going in there Ricard stay with the widow. She will protect you " roj vox to group. Laughing, clearly Amused by his own joke and moves into the doorway

Psyniscience 1d100 ⇒ 37 vs 50

(Is the veil in this are still thin?)

Mindblade the veil has returned to normal here but you do sense a very dark presence where the widow is and you get a nose bleed and headache for reaching our your senses here.

Illidan before you get past the Widow it turns it's gaze toward you.

"Have you returned with the blood of his line?

There are a total of 4 exits from this room one of which you returned in from. There appears to be only one other passage where the Widow was wheeled in from and Illidan was headed.

"this line that line any blood is fine as long as its not mine" roj spits on the floor next to the widow "I too can speak in riddles" roj walks on

"I have these @$/^ bullets I will tell you that" roj mumbles under his breath "I will extract all the blood you need" you hear as his voice gets smaller and further away

is the passage way dark

As Illidan walk past the Widow he smashes into an invisible force field of some sort and fall back on his ass. It almost seems like the Widow laughs at him with some weird noise.

"Oof!" rojs picks himself up slowly brushing himself off and collection his thoughts "what in blazes was that " roj retorts to the widow "There some kind of force field preventing us to follow" roj screams out to everyone

Mindblade wipes his nose with the back of his glove before turning to face the Widow.

Nihil laughed as well at the sight of Illidan falling on his ass.

"Difficulty walking, Illidan? Hehe"

Nihil will look around the room. Is he able to tell if the forcefield is surrounding the Widow or can he spy any forcefield conduits showing that it's a wall separating the room.

roj looks at nihil with a confused expression of being called by his government " who are you referring to Mi' lord " express with sounds of discomfort. The fall was more agonizing than expected. Roj holds his lower back to sooth himself.

Mindblade looks at Nihil, the cock of his head asking the obvious, though silent, question.

(Is the time for subterfuge now behind us?)

Sardon turns to Ricard whispering, "We my have to blood him a little to get through. You want to tell him or should I?" He nods to Rubio ever so slightly.

roj walks slowly to where he believed the barrier to be streaching his left hand out checking see where its set to go off

There doesn't appear to be any kind of conduits here that are powering this force field. Must be coming from someplace else.

Rubio and Octavia look to the group with confusion over the discussion and Octavia speaks first.

"Who are you really? her men seem very uneasy.

Sardon chuckles, "People less interested in killing you than anyone else that still remains alive in this place. If you feel you have a better chance in a smaller group feel free to leave us and find your own way". He says this while pointing the Bolt gun right at her.

"Roj, can you bring that forcefield down? If not I am afraid Master Rubio, we may need a sample from you to achieve our ultimate objective".

With the speed and grace of the most skillful of assassins all 3 of Octavia's men draw their weapons as Auraxis has his gun pointed at her. They all wield nice looking auto pistols in one hand and swords in the other.

Octavia speaks "Now now no need for us to kill each other as that will not bring about either of our goals whatever they may be. You obviously seem to know who I am but we do not know who you truly are."

Rubio's guard doesn't seem to stir much as he is very injured and Rubio is holding him up in a bit of shock.

Sardon laughs out loud, "Those bullets will bounce off of my armor anyway. Go ahead and fire, I'll be scratched and you will all be dead. Now put your toys away before we hurt you. It is in the best interest of all that all of us live. Who we are is irrelevant. We serve at the behest of Master Ricard, whether he chooses to use our names or another name of his own devising is of little import to us. He pays the bills quite frankly he can call me whatever he wants".

Still holding the gun at Octavia Sardon look at Rubio, "Come forward, Roj may need your assistance entering the forcefield. Lean your friend against the wall, he will be fine".

If any of them squeeze the trigger I will blow her away.

" I do not see any mechanisms conjuring this force field taking it down without knowing what is creating it will be a hard task. Might want to ask the lady there how to bypass it" gesturing to the widow. CLICK! roj switches his ammo to flamer pointing his autogun at the henchmen and oct.

Mindblade watched silently, his hands away from his weapons. He felt they were making some mistakes here, but he waited for Nihil to take charge. If he didn't, Mindblade knew he would have to do something to keep the situation from deteriorating any further.

Nihil sighed in annoyance at his own little blunder, pressing his fingers to his closed eyes and rubbing them gently as if they could soothe the pain of his own inherent stupidity. Finding no other purpose in doing so, he placed a hand upon Auraxis' bolter, slowly lowering it.

"Friends, let's not point fingers or weapons at each other, yes? We would all like to make it out of this situation alive so let us put the guns down and move on without difficulty."

After which, he turns to Rubio.

"Now enough of these games, Rubio. If all this wretched automaton requires is some of your blood then just cut your hand pour it into the chalice, if you'd please."

Of course, he could have added in that should the Rogue Trader's descendent not cooperate, they could always take him by force and slit his throat over the chalice. After the day they've been having, he wasn't entirely against the notion.

Rubio looks between the 2 groups.

"I am no descendant of Haarlock but if it will get us the hell out of here I'll do it!"

He leans his bodyguard against a wall and walks over to the machine cautiously and pulls out a small ornate blade from his belt and slowly cuts his hand letting the blood drip into the chalice.

The blood makes a sizzling sound when it touches and the eyes of the machine spring open.

"If you think you could fool me with but drops we require all of it's blood until it breaths no more."

At that moment Octavia's Adept in the cloak begins to make a move toward Rubio with his sword up.

What do you all do?

free action

Mindblade steps between the adept and Rubio, both swords suddenly in his hands.

"Stop, by the power of the Inquisition. This man will not be sacrificed to this heretical device."

The time for subterfuge was past. Mindblade saw that, even if the others did not.

1d10 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 flamer still pointed towards the two men and Oct roj watching to see what the adepts next move will be

Nihil merely stands very calmly to the side, hands folded behind his chest. He was in agreement with, whether either of them knew it or not. No sense in bothering with petty subterfuge if it held no benefit.

"I would suggest you call down your little pet, dear Logican, or you will all die here."

He smiled.

Auraxis raises the bolt gun ready to fire if necessary.
