Discussion thread open.
I'm SO ready!!!
Gameplay thread is up, so get to it!
Will Bulldog not get a response for his questions to Sebek?
He will, I wont have time to do a full post for a few hours.
I only know what I read on your profile. I'll edit my post.
Sorry, should specify somewhere now that you mention it
You're still mid-way through creating your profile I presume. I'm sorry for the assumption. I just thought an Arbite would be easy to spot, so I ran with that.
So turns out the description and backstory I wrote up didn't actually get added. That's a thing I guess...
It was up, I read your backstory. Either way, its resolved now, so no blood no foul...unless we want blood...roll initiative! Bwahaha.
BLOOD FOR THE BL-... s$#%...
@Shadoven - It mightn't be a bad idea to avoid putting all the answers up before you see the result of the roll. It's just so tempting to look under the spoiler for 3 degrees of success, even though I failed by four degrees!
While true, at the same time for ease of play and to speed things up, if I wait it will take anothet day before I post it, so idk whats the best way to do it and not slow the game even more.
I can wait... Hoewever the final decission is yours.
Fair enough. As long as you dont mind I dont.
Of course I don't mind either way. It's only a suggestion to keep us all honest.
I mis-understood Sabek. I thought he had a job for us. In fact he's just looking to buy and sell our stuff for us, isn't he?
Aye, on the grey market.
By the by, what's your stance on custom weapons? And can we get weapon customizations from other books? The stuff from only war and hammer of the emperor is just juicy... custom stocks and homeworld materials and sawn offs oh my!
To clarify, I'm not trying to be disruptive or anything. Logan's kind of naturally an a#&%!~$ and doesn't like his current situation, he'll warm up eventually.
Your fine sir, I thought how you played it was perfect. Honestly the actual written scenario plans on someone intimidating him and scaring him off, I just felt a roll wasnt required after all that was said.
Logan's character is fine. Bulldog doesn't love him, but I see no problem with him!
With all the gangers running away I assume the combat is over. Let me know if I'm wrong!
At level 2 I'll have access to the medicate skill and we can double up on our healing power. However a scum will never have money enough for a medi-kit and you really don't want to be worked on without one! So, at that point, unless I can AQUIRE one, I'll be asking for donations :)
@Shadoven - Do you mind if I refer to Bulldog's club as a baton?
Call it whatever you want sir, as long as you beat the hell out of people with it I could care less :)
Combat is over unless you want to stay in Initiative to determine whether the fleeing thugs get away and such. Otherwise I will assume some get away, though Thrace just gunned down the one that attacked her. She overkilled him lol.
Absolutely. Our timid little turned out to be quite the manslaughterer.

Haha, seems that way. But role playing character who is only used to the range and totally inept at real combat is certainly fun. I am a fan of not having to power game and getting to make a fun story of it. Hopefully not to annoyance of the other party members though.

And that's ignoring rightious fury!
Feel free to make an appropiate roll in game to find out, as you have most likely never dealt with the Adeptus Arbites before...and, if you have the skills, you probably want to roll for them anyway...hint hint wink wink.
As for sanctioning, remember, most people do not truly understand Psykers, and the Sanctioning Ritual is a rite that most have never understood. You would not expect a basic Arbiter to know the difference, with an appropiate skill roll. Now, each of you would know that Inquisitor's are outside the jurisdiction of Adeptus Arbites, but whether that applies to you or not...well the best I can advise you is to read the laws under the Campaign Info and go from there, unless you begin making skill rolls.
And this is why Logan hates psykers.
Perils are what makes psykers not overpowered, but absolutely hilarious. I swear to god nothing will derail a campaign faster than a greater daemon suddenly appearing.
I believe we're safe enough to tell the Arbites that we're working for the inquisition. We would be caring proof of that. They will know that we are not subject to imperial law and he will probably be aware that the inquisition often employs psykers. He can lock the captured ganger up for us and keep him isolated until we leave the planet.
Saying that, if you want to sneak off Thrace, we could still blame the gang. It's a good idea to save your FPs for avoiding the worst perals of the warp Thrace. The DH system leaves you no other way of avoiding killing us all.
I think the fact that gravity suddenly turned off killed our chances of defusing this situation anywhere but at the station.
Let's see how they react. I really don't feel like having my athority taken off me by allowing myself to be manacled up and hauled away. That's not in any of the Eisenhorn books.
Well, my knowledge of the Inquisition comes more from Ravenor than Eisenhorn, though I am familiar with him, and in Ravenor, only Gideon had any true authority. The retinue has only as much authority as the Inquisitor gives them, something you all would know, and as of now you have not been given any special insignia such as the common Inquisitorial Rosette, such as Gideon would often display. However, read over the Laws in the Campaign Info page, I believe the first one might be very relevant to you all at this time. Phil, what do you mean dont feel like having your authority taken off by being manacled and hauled away? I feel like I should understand what you are getting at but dont.
The Inquisition is above local law and to an extent Imperial law.
I though I saw somewhere in the DH rulebook that we had some form of insignia. Not an inquisitorial rosette, but something less powerful. I'll look it up tonight.
You are correct, Inquisitors are above the law, including Imperial Law...however that does not apply to their retinues unless the Inquisitor has given you that power. And, if you find some kind of insignia tell me, I couldnt find it. Remember, at this point you are just an expendable resource to most Inquisitors. It takes time and success to move up and have worth, to the point of being trusted with power and the ability to have some of the Inquisitors influence.
We... we are so f~*+ed right now...
I believe the inquisition as a whole is above the law. So that should extend to us, being it's servants (even if we are lowly ones) so long as our actions are within our orders. Our orders from Inquisitor Vownus Kaede, should work as proof that we're on business.
I'm sure I read somewhere about some sort of ID badge, perhaps it was in ascension.
Arbites, being upholders of imperial law should know about sanctioning of psykers. Enforcers may not, but Arbites should.
@Fusebox Your character should have started with an Arbitrator ID considering we weren't allowed to swap anything. That should help prove we're on the right side.
If we can't talk them down, I'd suggest Bulldog, Logar and Zoros try to grapple the 3 of them while Cosrach and Thrace pull guns on them from behind. They should stand down when they see that their fancy weapons and armour aren't going to save them.
They shouldn't be expecting it (cover your ears Shadoven).
Things can be smoothed out when we have all the cards in our hands.
Neither Bulldog nor myself are interested in being pushed around. If I wanted to be bullied by the police I'd just have to go into Manchester and join a peaceful protest:P
Phil, you are correct in the Inquisition as a whole. However, as acolytes attached to an Inquisitor, the line there is blurry. In truth, you are only above the Law if the Inquisitor allows you to be. You can be arrested and such, held and even tortured, if the Adeptus Arbites so chooses. Now if it is later revealed you are truly Inquisitorial Agents, they may have major repurcussions. But right now you as a group have not been given any influence or authority, beyond your remit to investigate strange phenomenon here. Only Aristarchus has any influence, but you have not reached him yet.
As far as an ID or Rossette, that could very well be something you will recieve in the future.
Phil, I dont want you to feel like im making you out to be weak and puny in the face of the law, and expected to follow them. In fact, the 10 commandments for the Inquisition here in the Calixis Sector even has one that states you are not to allow the Law to hinder you in your duties. My point here is, without proper id or such from Kaede, all you have is your word, and if you were an Arbiter, who walked into an alley fresh from a gunfight and all of a sudden, upon confronting the people inside, gravity warped and shifted, would you be inclined to believe them?
The time will come when you will have full authority and influence, you just have to survive and get to that point.
Phil, you are also correct about the Adeptus Arbites knowing about sanctioning. Keep in mind, Arbites or Arbitor is kinda a catch all word for any member of the Adeptus Arbites, you would not know without a proper roll if these guys are simply Enforcers of higher up. And your character may not even have a clue if they would know about Sanctioning, though you can probably make a guess.
Sersi, dont feel bad! I love the Psyker, and believe me, you have added to the game, not caused any issues! This is an excellent roleplaying(or possible action) scene, and you will be recieving extra exp because of it, so dont feel bad!
Also, Phil...you are correct in that the Orders on your Dataslate, assuming you all kept them, would work as proof of who you are and your Inquisitorial Mandate. Good catch!
Also, Fusebox said he wanted to be a Bounty Hunter, not an actual Arbitrator, so I leave it up to him and his backstory as to whether or not he would have an ID.
Yeah I love the way this blew up from the warp strangeness.
That's one thing I love about this system....there should be the occasional repercussion to accessing the power of the Warp :)
