Quill growls dropping the body and goes for cover behind some rocks.
"FOOLS!" he yells.
Nihil looks to Auraxis.
"What did you just do..."
As Rubios blood seeps into the ground the earth beneath you begins to shake uncontrollably.
Nihil falls to his ass.
You hear a loud explosion from within the House of Dust and Ash and the roof explodes sending the brightest light you have ever seen into the heavens above. As you strain your eyes to look you see a figure rising up through the light and then the light fades and all that is left is an 8 armed woman with blades in her hands and a vicious grin on her face. She resembles the Black Widow.
Her voice is deep and booming and she looks down to Auraxis and Nihil.
"Thank you for freeing me and I am keeping my word. You are free to go from this island but you do not have much time."
As she ends talking she sky rockets into the sky and vanishes.
The Island begins to tremor badly as it a Scan 10 Earthquake is occurring. You see the captain from your ship in the distance yelling for you to hurry!
Auraxis grimaces realizing he has made an error. He fires at the bounty hunter again, "I take no responsibility for that, you forced our hand. But your life is forfeit because of it".
Agility
Fire my last round at him.
Bolt Gun
Damage

You miss Quill badly as he's behind cover last you saw and pick up Illidan and get to the ship. The captain looks at your group and shakes his head realizing your missing 1 person, 1 appears to be dead and the other is badly injured.
"Rough time huh?"
He doesn't wait for an answer and gets his men to take off quickly.
As the ship sails away you see the island in the distance erupt. The mountain on the far side spews out lava like you have never seen before and the entire place is covered. Nothing could ever survive that...
After Nihil gets bandaged up a bit by one of the crew members he makes his way to Auraxis.
"That was very foolish. I thought I was the fool of the group but you made me look like an angel. You may have just released one of the most powerful demons into the material world for all we know."
"It was a judgment call. For all we know, those men would have taken control of the Demon or whatever it was for themselves. No doubt we will see whatever that was again and the God Emperor will bless us in our endeavors by allowing us the privilege of sending it back to whatever hell it comes from. You know all about poor judgment calls I suspect, who are you to judge?"
Nihil just shakes his head and walks away to get some highly needed rest!
It takes a few days and in that time Nihil stays resting not trying to talk to Auraxis.
Yes, I will report what happened and report about the odd occurrence with Nihil as well.
"Unfortunately Inquisitor I do not know what the Widow was but I think we shall be seeing it again. I have no doubt that the God Emperor will be by my side when we next meet it. However, I stand by my decision, who is to say what those heretics would have done had they secured Rubio, were he worthy of it, the God Emperor would have protected him".
Shouldn't illidan be dead he took a beating.
(True. Have to think of new character)
The ship finally touches down in Hive Gloriana where you originally departed and awaiting your arrival you see the the broken man Inquisitor Silas Marr in his chair supported by 4 servitors, the beautiful Nocticha at his side and an unfamiliar woman dressed in power armor bearing the symbols of the Aquila on her armor to his other side. She is an imposing figure.
Nihil bows to the Inquisitor.
Silas coughs a little spitting out some blood as you approach.
"Four go and Two return. Not to bad based on what you described happened there."
He looks between Auraxis and Nihil.
This here is Sister Revanche she has recently joined our cell and will be assisting going forward. It seems every mission I sent your cell on someone doesn't return. Lets hope she can assist with that not happening in the future.
Auraxis makes the sign of the Aquila in greetings to the sister, "Who are we to question the ways of the God Emperor. I believe Nihil and I have much research to do Inquisitor. We must be better prepared for what come next. Haarlock is certainly a menace to the Imperium which must be dealt with".
Sister Revanche is indeed an imposing figure in her black power armor. The eyes of her helm glows a deep red that matches the blood-red livery of her order. Magna-locked to her armor are a power sword and an inferno pistol.
She returns the sign of the Aquila with a nod, but remains silent.
(She rarely speaks unless spoken to directly, but she seems to pay attention to everything.)
The Inquisitor nods to Auraxis commends.
"Yes of course. You will get some rest and we will figure this out. My Seers are getting close to finding out what and where this Blind Tesseract is."
With that Nihil moves forward. "Sir, I do believe I will be of more assistance to you trying to figure out what is going on instead of going out on missions with those more suitable for those type of things."
He looks down at his badly damaged leg.
The Inquisitor nods and then his servitors turn him and you all make your way aboard his shuttle.
Information
- Erasmus Haarlock was an infamous Rogue Trader of frightening power who hunted down and exterminated the surviving members of his bloodline in a bloody purge more than a century and a half ago.
- In the years after the destruction of his family, Haarlock pursued an obsessive and secret quest that remained unknown to outsiders; a quest that took him to both his family’s ancient domains and the far-flung reaches of deep space, leading him to become one of the most shadowy and powerful figures in the Calixis Sector in the process.
- After not returning from some secret voyage for many years, he was finally declared lost more than a century ago in 703.M41. Without an heir, his Legacy—both in terms of his domains and his family’s Rogue Trader warrant, a thing alone worth a hive world’s ransom—fell into the
interminable wranglings of the Chancellery Court on Solomon and was never resolved. In the century since then, Haarlock’s estates and property within the Calixis Sector either were appropriated, fell into ruin, or were shunned, and Erasmus Haarlock became a figure of dark legend. - At an ill-omened hour around a year and a half ago all across the Calixis Sector, past domains, devices and forgotten sins of the Haarlock line stirred in their slumber. In doing so they unleashed a chain of mysterious, unnatural and deadly events. These matters and their often bloody consequences drew the attention of the Holy Ordos of the Inquisition, as well as a number of dark factions and cults, to what became known as the ‘Haarlock Legacy’ and what it portended.
- Through analysis of the evidence of the Legacy’s strange happenings and the involvement of the Acolytes, the Holy Ordos has learned that the final key to unlocking the mystery of Haarlock Legacy is an utterly forbidden locale known as the Blind Tesseract. This place, hidden deep
beneath the ice of Mara was Haarlock’s last destination, where he is believed to have ‘gone beyond’ and from where he will soon return.
Events
- On the opulent and wicked world of Quaddis, at the heart of the legendary Festival of Tattered Fates, a nightmarish servant of Haarlock’s attempted to use an occult device known as the Steel Clock to escape the bonds of its servitude by calling forth the apparition of the dreaded Komus, the Tyrant Star. The agents of a blasphemous Chaos Cult intervened and attempted to wrest the machine’s power for themselves, and many great nobles of the sector died as a result.
- On the blighted world of Sinophia, a Daemon that Haarlock had trapped between two mirrors and left imprisoned has subverted and corrupted the local Arbites’ precinct. It used the corrupted Arbites and daemonically-infused walking dead to carry out a chain of thefts and murders that sparked near civil war on Sinophia in the process, all simply in order to be free before Haarlock could return.
- On Solomon, where Haarlock’s ancestor—after whom the planet is named—kept his stronghold, is a place called the House of Dust and Ash. There, amid various ancient artefacts of Haarlock’s travels and conquests, a trap was sprung by his servants to capture and kill any of the Haarlock bloodline that might have escaped Erasmus’s purge, and any of those foolish enough to claim his Legacy. A strange bound entity-machine called the Gilded Widow proclaimed Haarlock’s return. The demon was set free before the house was consumed in fire and death.

Sister Revanche takes the time to do as much research on the planet Mara as she can.
