Clearly distracted by the outdoors Bulldog looses his footing on the climb. He falls heavily brusing himself, and sliding back down the incline.
I'm back!
Bulldog will try to determine how long the man has been dead for
"I will join you, I'm in no mood for sleeping"
Well Lothar, these cards were gifted to me by the Abbott after the events began, as a gift for my swift respond to his request for aid. Since then I have used them in my divinations, though I do not know of their use outside of my possession. I can only assume the Abbot and others within the Ecclesiarch have used them to ask for the Emperor's Guidance. They have been stored on Scintilla until they were gifted to me I believe. Why the sudden interest I must ask? "It occurs to me that these cards have been around for the overthrowing of the ancient daemon and the construction of the abbey. They have powers beyond my understanding, easily amounting to psychic phenomena. All that and the fact that they are now making their way back to the centre of the problem peaks my suspicions..." Lothar looks around nervously, aware that he was about to push his luck. [b]"I don't suppose I could convince you to bring them back to our master, Lord Inquisitor Vownus Kaede, for study..." The Shale Crows unnerve Bulldog greatly.
Bulldog will attempt to take one out with his silenced autogun and do his own study of it
Bulldog will also ask if either Aristarchus or Thrace can detect any influence of the warp on the creature.
"Cosrach, you are schooled in legend, is there any word on Saint Drusus carrying a deck of emperor's Tarot? Also, do you remember anything about the Daemon he supposedly overthrew here?"
Bulldog manages to pull himself together for long enough to pursue his new object of fascination. "Lord Aristarchus" Lothar says, gulping down some spittle along with some nerves "An artefact such as those cards must have an extensive history, can you please tell us of it in as much detail as possible."
As the seer talks Bulldog will pose the following questions:
Although he's far too preoccupied with the fearfully open landscape around him to participate in any amount of conversation, Bulldog does take note of what Aristarchus says. If he wasn't so distracted it would have peaked his interest. These cards are associated with the saint, the deamon, the abbot, the cathedral and Aristarchus. They could be key to this entire problem.
Bulldog hardly gives the ramshackle truck a second look and climbs on board without hesitation. However, he soon comes to regret the action as the vehicle leaves Port Suffering behind and with it any semblance of a proper hab.
Stuff to sell:
Stuff to Buy:
Bulldog will offer to go to the pitts for anyone who's staying with Aristarchus. Just give him the thrones, equipment to sell and a precise set of instructions, He will get you the best deal he can.
Well, Lothar, in all honesty you will not find a better collection of local legend and lore than in this very building, as I collect information that the average citizen should not have access to. Perhaps the Senior Arbitrator, if you have not already spoken to him? "He claimed to have little to no informationfor us. I tend fto believe him." Bulldog frowned as he spoke. As for why it was chosen, I am not sure as to why that exact location. I do know that legends claim Saint Drusus, back when he was a General, overthrew a powerful Daemon on this world, and reclaimed it for the Imperium. This will also be the first actual Cathedral on Iocanthos. The Abbot is a influential man, and his request to build one, as well as his request for aid, could not be turned down. Being one of his primary interests, bulldog pushed this point a bit further "Was it the Abbot who chose this location? Did anything else change about the same time these psychic phenomena began?" As for the Adeptus Sororitas, the Sisters tend to keep to themselves. Unknown to most, they are aware of the Inquisition's activities in this area and at times, with the permission of Lord Inquisitor Zerbe of the Calixian Conclave, can be called to battle. They are the most elite soldier's in the sector. We maintain limited contact with them, but they keep to themselves, and as far as I know they do not know of the disturbances. Contemplating scrapping this line of inquiry entirly bulldog asked the question that would put the final nail in it's coffin "Is the Sisters of Battle Abby located close enough to the Cathedral to be significant? Or are they on the other side of planet?" "That's all eh? F&&%, maybe I shoulda' come with ya, sounds like you lot couldn't get a joygirl to show ya where her naughty bits were." Logan says, resisting over his shoulder at the end, "Alright, so has your poking around local lore revealed anybody who might not want to see the church built? Are there any local factions not so in line with the idea of a big building being built in the name of someone who isn't their hell born deity of darkness and despair? Logan asks before digging into his meal wholeheartedly, periodically lifting his eyes up to the seer. Bulldog ignores the slur completely, his mind still awash with posabilities. Even though the question is not really for him he volenteers his theory, if only to hear it out loud himself. "Closest I can guess at the moment is that this deamon that Drusus overthrew somehow survived, and is one in the same as this 'Crow Father'. Perhaps one of these bands of nomad wariors has taken to worshiping it."Bulldog looks around. "It's a weak theory, but it fits. This Deamon would certainly not want to see an Cathedral raised for the Saint Drusus." Bulldog turns to Cosrach and Thrace
"Remember how I mentioned we got jumped not an hour off the boat? That. Stumbled across some old man screamin' about a 'crow father' and other s*!!, next thing we knew a bunch-a blue faced a@%+#!#s got the idea that they'd teach the offworlder's a lesson. Needless to say, they didn't. Rest a the party went off an' interrogated em. Speakin' a which, probably should have asked on the way here, but you find out anything good? "He kept repeating 'The Wise One's have seen darkness brought from afar!' no amount of persuasion would get anything more out of him" Bulldog turns to Aristarchus.
Bulldog will only question him for about 20-30min before leaving him in the hands of the Arbitrator. He has no wish to keep the Aristarchus waiting.
Bulldog will leave off questioning the ganger until after Aristarchus and the others arrive. He will send the vial of blue paint for analysis by whatever experts there are in the Precinct-Fortress. Bulldog will want to know what it's made up of, how it was made and if it caries any warp taint. To the same degree he will want the patterns the ganger has drawn on himself using this pant analysed.
"Each of our needs varies, but the group could do with combeads and a good medi-kit."
While moving towatds the Precinct-Fortress Loghar asks about several subjects:
Bulldog will introduce himself as "Loghar"
Bulldog allows himself to be helped up.
Overhearing Logan, Bulldog responds, "The cherub will find us or we will find our contact ourselves. In the mean time let's get some work done!"
"The inquisition is not in the habit of making it's actions well know. You should, however, have noticed an upshot of mysterious activity that would draw the attention of the inquisition."
Small Win!
Bulldog spit a gob of blood onto to pavement.
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.
Cosrach Armengarde: No worries
Loot:
Bulldog will keep 2 of the stubpistols, all of the ammo and 1 vial of face paint. He'll half the pistol ammo with Logan if Logan wants it. Shadoven:
Had they absolutly no thrones on them?
We all want to avoid taking up to 17 damage and dieing. What's the plan? Per 36 +10 Ordinary = 46
"It's OK officer" Bulldog raises his hands high in the air "Our activity here is well within Imperial law." He continues in a hushed tone so those on the streets cannot hear
"Let them go" Bulldog says "We have everything we need here." looking at his wounded foes he continues
Anyone who was running away Bulldog ignores but those wounded or crawling away Bulldog will try to round up and question. Not before going through their pockets and confiscating all weapons ammo and thrones.
Lothar aims and fires at the same man who shot him
Hit for
Bulldog concentrates his fire on the 1 ganger who's so eager to take a shot at him but also fires into the thugs either side.
[X][o][0][B][o][o][o][o][o][o][o][o][o][o][o][o][o][o]
BS 36 -20 suppressing fire +10 close range = 26
Bulldog will be in full cover near the enterance of the ally.
Concealment Ag 39 / 2 +10 = 29
"With a bit of luck we won't even need to hit them" Bulldog responds to Logan. Bulldog pushes ahead of the rest of the group, easily outpacing them in the crowd. When he's sure that he's out of sight he hides in a shop completely out of sight and draws his autopistol and club.
"How's this? Myself and the psyker will move forward and hide in a shop or something until both you and them have passed then we can come out behind them and see if we can't talk them down."
Bulldog uses the same low tone.
Bulldog will purposely walk so that he's always near cover and watch for similarly garbed gangers ahead of the group or down any adjacent alleys
