Initiative 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Burgos hears Cerelia's warning.

"Cerelia, how are the hostiles armed?"

He then draws his sword and pistol.

"Thou shall break with a rod of iron, thou shall dash them in pieces."

"Blessings of the One True God be upon you, Gunther." Burgos signs the symbol of the aquila as he makes his benediction.

"A thousand blessing upon your house, your lordship. He who sits on Terra smiles with approval of your treatment and care of His servants." Burgos signs the symbol of the aquila before continuing, "I am Burgos, your lordship. A humble servant of He who sits on Terra and a ready friend to your house." Burgos to punctuate his introduction.

He then leans closer to his lordship so that only he can hear the following: "I am ready to here any confession you may wish to make, your lordship. I am authorized to help you unburden your soul in these trying times."

Toughness 1d100 ⇒ 36

Re-roll; spend fate point 1d100 ⇒ 19

Burgos avoids puking his guts out by meditating on the mysteries of Lectitio Divinitatis.

Burgos reverently accepts the stylized "I" badge of the Inquisition, knowing full well the weight of power... and responsibility it represents.

Looking for a data slate on the planet -- topography, weather, common knowledge and all that jazz. It might come in handy should the group be forced to go in different directions.

"I suggest that we do not decide on a particular course of action until we have all the facts." Burgos remarks as he scans the data slate.

"Moreover, violence is clearly not the solution the lord inquisitor wants us to consider. At least not without all the facts." Burgos then nods to the inquisitor.

"Lord inquisitor, do we have leave to speak with your voice?"

Burgos, in his humble friar robes, bows deeply.

"I am Burgos, my lord inquisitor. My oath of service sworn before the altar of He Who Sits at Terra remains valid in this life and the next."

For the God-Emperor of Mankind!!!

I'll make my life easy and forgo modifying my stats.

Will get Pure Faith once Burgos gets to join the Black Crows.

Anyone know where I can find the rule that allows Clerics to start with the Pure Faith Talent?

@Fusebox, can I modify my character using Blood of Martyrs?

Me please :-)

Hi to all Dark Heresy Players :-)

Gawd, the firefight is going to be brutal if they don't break in the first round.

For Rook

here's his counterpart, the fast-talking servant of the Emperor.

Inquiry 1d100=19

"What was that all about?"

Uh, why are you rolling? I'm not even sure you were even in the bar when the whole 'investigate a rumor' bit started. Well, I suppose you could be talking to the guards stationed around the wall.

I thought I was, my mistake, please ignore.

Inquiry 1d100=19

"What was that all about?"

"Gaia, if you were to lead a force against this place, how would you go about breaching these defenses?"

Burgos also takes a bath after and not with Justine, though, the God-Emperor will not forbid him if she beckoned him. After that, Burgos decides to look around the camp. He asks Gaia to accompany him so he can ask her for her comments on the overall military strength of the place.

Burgos raises his hand and intones solemnly, "The blessing of the Emperor and all of His Saints be upon you."

"Oh, and where can we purify ourselves?"

"You know... take a bath."

"Praise be that we have arrived. The Emperor protects."

Burgos removes the dust of the road from his Ecclesiarchy robes.

"Ok. Now that we're inside and the gate is closed, what you guys do around here aside from the obvious?"

"Stern Hope, indeed. I worthy shrine to He Who Seats Upon The Golden Throne."

Burgos smiles at the guard.

"Greetings, brother, I am Burgos. This is Ivaanov, Gaia, Deckard, Justine. And of course our senior Master Aristarchus."

"Now that you are acquainted with our names, may we know yours, hmmm?"

"Shall we move on?"

"Perhaps prayer is not the best use of our attention at the moment. With all due respect..."

"Careful. A less considerate person may accuse you of heresy."

"I think we should all put our hands together and pray to the Emperor of Mankind for strength in these trying times."

Ivaanov turns as Burgos speaks, unslinging his las carbine as he does. "I didn't see anything friend priest. Do you think their is trouble nearby?"

He begins to cast around for signs of danger perception =1d100=100 but the light catches on the metal of his las carbine and he is momentarily blinded.

Well, with luck like that, I won't need enemies shooting at me, I'll just be damaging myself

"There was a figure over there," Burgos points at a distant rock, "then it disappeared."

As the body burns and the watch changes, the rest of the night passes uneventfully. In the morning, you pile back into the truck and continue on your journey. By mid-day you begin driving through the foothills.

Burgos, Gaia, Deckard:** spoiler omitted **

"Guys, did you just see what I saw?"

"I am starting to get a feeling that this planet is touched by the supernatural more often than most."

"I fear that our faith will be tested before this mission is over."

Burgos makes the sign of the aquila and starts to pray silently.

Next scene, if we are all agreed to burn the body. Unless we bring about an encounter by that roasting....

"The Emperor protects. We shall commit this poor soul's body to the flame."

"Let's forage for some wood then." Burgos straps on his gear before proceeding.

"Throne of Terra!" Burgos exclaims.

"Let us bury this poor soul."

So, anyone going to, oh, I don't know, look at the body?

Burgos kicks the body turn it over and look at it.

"Don't touch it!" Burgos warns as he moves to support Gaia.

We should agree on some code words and practice some pre-arranged routines.

"What the frak?!"

Burgos wakes up and rapidly pulls his autopistol from its holster. Noticing Gaia's smoking gun, Burgos looks into the direction where Gaia is looking at.

"Is that you, mommy?" Burgos asks in his sleep.

Midnight Watch then

Um... is 'blast someone' an option?

"The cards help you relax, don't they, Aristarchus?"

"I saw a man recently. He kept repeating that name: 'Crow Father'. I know it is highly improbable that this 'Crow Father' would have any connection with the weird happenings here. But I am a man of faith. Stranger things have happened for which reason and logic cannot provide an explanation."

"Ah, the shale crows. Dreadful little creatures, they're more feathered reptiles than bird once you get close. Sharp beaks, too. Local myth has all sorts of unpleasant legends about them. Not surprising, really. They eat more than carrion; they'll attack anything, if it's wounded or weak. That includes humans. No eyes in the damn things, no eyes at all..."

"Shale crows? Are they somehow related to an entity called 'Crow Father'?"

Justine scans the barren shale wastes, the wind whipping her hair into a golden mess. "If this is the Pilgrim Road," she mutters, "I can't wait to see the cathedral."

"So, any of you know anything about the battles of Iocanthos'?"

Burgos points at Aristarchus, "Ask 'im."

"I'm sure he'd be more than happy to oblige you."

Road trip! Now if we can make it into a Eurotrip....

"Fashion statement comes to mind. And you look very fine in red."

"Let's buy some scarves. We might need them once we head upcountry."

"I'll take an extra magazine or two of autopistol ammo."

With the purchases over, can we proceed to the departure?

Inquiry (Fel 39)1d100=34

"We need autopistol ammo and lasweapon charges. Can you help?"

"Preferably at prices considered at the service of the Imperium."

"Justine, you need a longlas?"

Reading Gaunt's Ghosts again.

For Davi

Davi, would you want us to role-play the Bazaar trip or can we just adjust our inventory accordingly?
