Agents of the Inquisition: A Warhammer 40K RPG

Solomon had Talos Ivo sanctify his auramite-infused xenos glaive by inscribing symbols onto it that represented his companions. Avarice learned that the captain of the crew that attacked them and abducted the Judge was Libertine Morwith, a human who was raised in Drukhari captivity and escaped to become a rogue trader. They decided not to pursue the Judge, having no idea where he went and trusting that it was Valentyne’s intention for him to be taken and that he would be returned to them. Morgan sent a coded message to Valentyne to inform him about Hydra Dominatus.

Damien questioned Morgan about the auramite aquila necklace that CL053T had made, and she revealed that she had requested it for Damien to wear because of auramite’s anti-psyker properties. Morgan reviewed the symbols on the intruders and realized that they were Drukhari runes that were altered purposefully to be offensive to a Drukhari. CL053T reported that repairs to the ship would take 114.3 days, so they all decided to invest the intervening time in learning how to repair the sub-light and warp engines and shaved their repair time down to 78 days. Damien looked into the data from Amberlin’s tech priests and discovered that an individual had made the introductions between Amberlin and the Drukhari but the identity of that person was obfuscated. They also took time to upgrade combat equipment, using up all of their auramite in the process.

Morgan, Damien, and Solomon discussed the findings from their initial investigations into the recent incursion aboard the Lucky Strike. They decided to keep a human watch on duty at all times. Solomon used stimms to stay awake during his first watch, and when he couldn’t sleep later, Damien had him sedated. Morgan privately asked CL053T to used some of their auramite to fashion and aquila medallion on a chain.

Morgan needed answers about possible tampering in Avarice’s brain, but CL053T wouldn’t permit Talos Ivo to perform a scan on the Savant, so Morgan asked CL053T to do it instead and the scan revealed no anomalies. She then asked Talos Ivo to explain his religious doctrine, determined that his benefits outweighed the risks, and ordered CL053T to dedicate some of his time to giving the Mechanicus the tools he needed to tinker moving forward. Meanwhile, Damien and Solomon investigated Judge Rex’s quarters. Solomon recognized the scent of the sleeping salt residue and Damien found a stummer, confirming that the Judge was abducted against his will, but raising the question of why on the Judge was taken.

While the intruders were sucked into space through the open airlock, Morgan, Damien, and Solomon managed to hang on until Talos Ivo secured the seal once more. They got a brief look at the enemy ship before its cloak engaged, but with a damaged engine, the Lucky Strike was stuck in place for now. Once Avarice was set free, the savant revealed that his bifurcated brain had allowed the intruders aboard, and he had initially assumed that it’s what Valentyne had wanted. Talos Ivo was tasked with examining his brain for evidence of tampering, while Morgan scrubbed through recordings of the incursion for any clues about their enemy and where they took Judge Rex.

With Judge Rex nowhere to be found and Morgan injured and poisoned, Brother Solomon and Damien continued to fight their way out of their room. Damien unleashed a powerful blast to eliminate most of the intruders in their immediate vicinity, a gun servitor cleared the rest, and CL053T pointed them in the direction Morgan had been taken and secured Talos Ivo. Morgan managed to shake off the effects of the poison, but as Damien and Solomon entered the aft hold, the hostile ship pulled away, leaving the Lucky Strike’s airlock wide open and everyone inside at risk of being sucked into the void.

The Lucky Strike was boarded while its crew slept. Morgan awoke to an intruder in her room who seemed human, but moved like a Drukhari. The strange being claimed she had abducted Judge Rex on behalf of a client. Damien and Solomon discovered the door to their quarters had been welded shut, so they began tearing through it with weapons and warp fire while trying to make contact with anyone else aboard who could possibly help.

The agents completed another mission, having rescued the Heretek Talos Ivo, and resolved the Drukhari incursion within the Hawkstar system. Morgan, Damien, Solomon, and Judge Rex set off once more in their ship, the Lucky Strike, awaiting information on their next mission.

As Solomon duelled the Incubus, the wraithbone Warp gate opened a portal to Commorragh, and the Archon grew impatient, popping the heads of Governor Darius and the Astropath. Damien summoned his psychic abilities and finished off the Incubus, but the powers in the Warp overwhelmed him and he became possessed by the Deamon Kestrel. Morgan decided to leave the governor to his fate in favour of saving Damien, and she and the rest of the agents spoke holy words of encouragement until Damien finally forced Kestrel out once more. As the Deamon was pushed back, a light shone down and, miraculously, Darius was somehow alive.

The band fought and destroyed the massive Spyrer Amberlin. Morgan used the password Hydra Dominatus to access the throne room where two Drukhari bearing symbols of the Kabal of the Bladed Cage held Darius and his Astropath hostage. As they reached an impasse with words, the Archon suggested a duel between the Incubus and Solomon. As the two fought, Morgan called Romeo in to stealthily observe the rest of the room. The servitor identified two hostage adepts of the Mechanicus working on what appeared to be a wraithbone arch, but the purpose the arch—whether as an escape path for the Archon or an entry point for Deamons—could not be determined.

Featuring players Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, Josh Halbot, and Tyler Hewitt, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante.
