What is WarHams: A Chaos Odyssey?
Four Chaos Space Marines. One terrified Guardsman. A cursed ship hurtling across the galaxy. Join us for a Warhammer 40,000 actual-play TTRPG campaign using the Black Crusade system — hilarious, grimdark, and utterly unhinged. Which Chaos God will the Guardsman ultimately choose? Who will prevail in the end?

there's hissing sounds
there's hissing sounds
there's hissing sounds
there's hissing sounds
sounds of burbling sounds of septic machines doing their work clumping and thumping
there's a beep in fact two beeps
our episode begins in the carcass's infirmary
as byzantis eyes look at her eyes i will tell you why don't you take over these cells that everything i hope to be in them is dead
this will probably be one of my second términings but once in the making if you just take over the ningston capital
if you just take over the ningston capital
we'll take over the ningston capital
as byzantine's eyes will look like utile perception
ival novel
eyes finally open.
Byzante is
attached to a medbed.
Um, the
wounds on his chest and the
armor, uh, dinted
have been, the armor plating
has been removed and put aside
as a vast wound that
is sutured over and
already repairing.
Um, is
visible.
Byzante is,
you're assaulted by
the sounds
in this area. There's, there's this
delightful feeling of pain throughout
your body, a sensation
you rarely get to relish as much as
others, but this, this is
definitely an elevated feeling,
like a, a bruising both
inside and out, and even
mentally.
But it's, it's the sounds of all the
machines in the apothecarian that
drive you to near
madness.
The ticks, the tocks,
the beeps, the suction
sounds.
And you can't move, that's the worst part
about it.
Your energy is so thoroughly
sapped by the, by the blow
you must have taken
that you feel like
you cannot move.
And again,
there's a sucking,
wheezing sound
from various machines
by you.
They're menial servitors.
There is only one other figure
in the room
beyond the wandering servitors.
It's
Evgeny on a chair
beside you.
Ooh.
Well,
so
kind of you to keep me
company, Evgeny.
What?
God, it's...plural? Am I doing that correct?
I'm happy to hear your voice, hardly enough.
As much as I...well, not the cackling as much.
Everybody else had their own things to do.
Really, now?
Yes.
Carcass, I'm so used to having to bury my comrades rather than tend to my wounded that I feel like I would almost do you a disservice, a comrade-in-arms, to not keep an eye on you.
That is very kind of you, Evgeny.
A kindness that perhaps I am not worthy of.
But still...
It is one that I accept.
You have so very much to learn about being a traitor.
But there's time.
I mean, sure, we're both traitors in our own way, but...
It doesn't mean we have to betray each other.
I thought there was kind of a camaraderie between all of you.
You would think.
I'm just shaking your fist at...
Carrying Imperium at large, and rebuking the Emperor in terror, and following these disparate myriad gods of yours.
Evgeny, would you consider yourself free?
Evgeny thinks back to what happened on our last adventure, that is to say, the last session that we did,
where...
where...
Most of the first half of that session was being carried around by Lyphos, by the scruff of his neck, like an object.
You can be a gear, or you can be a cog, but into a better cog.
For chaos, come on, Evgeny.
I would say I'm freer in some ways, but with the bolt gun to the back of my head, at the behest of these,
these thirsting gods,
I think there's ground yet to be gained in that department, if you catch my drift.
I completely agree.
For you see, Evgeny, the unfortunate thing is...
that freedom...
is only won through strength.
You are not free...
You are not free...
Because if you were to displease one of us, we might kill you.
And we are not free.
For if we were to displease our gods, we too would be punished.
And yet, you are more free than you were before.
And I, myself, am more free than any mewling peon found in all of the Imperium's many armies.
But there is one position that I could come to inhabit that would be no freedom.
And for this, Yevgeny, I would make a compact with you.
And what would that be, sir?
There is one fate.
Yes.
Among the Astartes, that is dreaded among all others.
It is not the risk of becoming a gibbering chaos spawn.
But we are all well on the road to that in this benighted ship.
This carrier with no fighter craft, but an unarmed Arvis lander and munitions enough
to squabble with.
To have menials fight over, but not enough to fire in raucous cacophony.
Now, we are all well on our way to spawnhood, a fate that I would be happy to elucidate
you to on another time.
But now there's a fate even worse than that.
I almost don't want to know what would be worse than having your body ripped, bloated
and torn asunder by chaotic forces, and be trapped in there.
I don't want to know what would be worse than having your body ripped, bloated and torn
by chaotic forces, and be trapped in there.
But that is where you're wrong, Evgeny.
But there are a handful of other fates and torments beyond death and misery, that I'm
sure any one of us might fall into like a hidden trap-hole.
Like being sent to the Scholar Progenium, and
forced to be an accountant.
Or worse.
Being captured by the Dark emptiness.
by the Dark Elder,
having your mind scrubbed
from your vacant flesh at the end
of a Necron rifle.
So many other
loving agonies,
but the worst of all.
As you can see,
though medical
attention was needed to preserve
my life, I yet live.
And for this small miracle,
I shall dance and sing
and honor the Dark Prince
accordingly.
But
should I be reduced
to naught but
barely manageable
slurry?
Should half of my body
fall away and rot
and my intestines
drip out along the floor,
my arms severed
and my head half-smashed
in to the end of an
angry thunder-hammerer,
oh, I would relish
that joy and
pain.
What after?
I might be interred in the
sarcophagus of a
dreadnought.
And that,
that is a fate
I will never
abide, dear Evgeny.
To be forced
into a metal
shell, your rotten
body infused
into steel pipes,
unable to feel,
to be barely conscious
only of your imprisonment
and that of what you have lost
to be forever gone,
banished from the
temptations of the path of glory
and the song of Slaanesh never to be
sung by your own throat.
Yes, that would be a fate worse
than death, Evgeny.
And so I ask you, young
man,
a favor.
Should I ever be reduced
to such a sorry state as to
where I have no choice
but to be interred into a sarcophagus
either there on the
battlefield or later on in the
vessel, I want you to
take my life and pledge
it to Slaanesh.
If that is
what you would wish.
But
in doing so, would that not
then make me a...
an adherent of your god
as well?
No, no, no.
Well, perhaps.
But you see,
it is not uncommon for those
that have yet to choose their affinity
to meander about between
gods for a time,
to court many blessings.
Those that manage to juggle
all four at once,
they are supposedly some of the most
mightiest of our number.
Lord Abaddon himself, the
Warmaster.
Their porous and precalent ages
past. And
perhaps even this dark
apostle whom we
have been so warned of.
They represent chaos undivided,
but
it lasts long.
I'm going to point something out
to Byzantine. Yes.
I'm not going to elaborate on
this more. This dark
apostle that you were warned
of, they used to be a member
of this ship.
And in fact, are the only
member of this curse bound
crew that has escaped
the curse of the ship.
A fact, and the reasoning
why is of much consternation.
That idea will
occur to Byzantine in this moment.
Because he hasn't had that much
time to think about it.
Regardless, Evgeny,
the others, for their own purposes,
will attempt to shuffle you down
whichever route of power
they have suffered themselves
to endure.
But perform for me this service.
And continue to survive.
And I shall tell you
and treat you
truly
as one of our own.
And not just another
puppet on the string
to seize and dance
about.
There is a clang, clang,
clang as Seremite
footsteps come towards you
and approaching you is the form
of the apothecary Valthor Drask
in the sea green armor.
Just,
just stop.
No, no, no, no speeches.
No big words.
Just stop.
I'll keep that in mind, Byzantium.
That is all I ask.
Of course.
It's the least I can do
for not flaying me alive
and using me for whatever
depraved purposes,
Slaanesh would want.
If Ginny,
such a fate will not befall you.
Not under my watch.
More particularly
under my watch.
But, regardless,
I came here
as a Vox Communicae from the bridge.
You can walk, at least.
It seems they've found
what that shadow is.
Ah! Ah!
Lovely.
Well, then.
I must thank you,
apothecary,
for seeing to my safety.
Drask, your bedside manner
may not be fantastic,
but it's a cut above old man bile.
Right.
Just, just go.
But of course, brother.
Evgeny.
Yes, sir.
How are you doing on the low sticks?
Oh,
uh, Evgeny will
shop around and feel in his pockets.
Oh, Evgeny will shop around and feel in his pockets.
Oh, Evgeny will shop around and feel in his pockets.
He's only smoked a handful of them.
He's only smoked a handful of them.
He's only smoked a handful of them.
Well, I almost had a panic attack,
uh, about...
five hours ago?
I smoked about half a pack's worth.
Didn't take.
So, about half a pack's worth so far, sir.
didn't take. So, about half a pack's worth so far, sir.
Alright, keep it up.
He turns and walks away.
Keep it up.
Byzantium, at this point I assume you're going to, uh, to extricate yourself from the
Byzantium, at this point I assume you're going to, uh, to extricate yourself from the bed as your senses return to you?
Yes, but I won't leave without
Evgeny, who has done me a great
kindness.
Of course, well, Evgeny is just gonna go along
with you, because you're being summoned
to a meeting.
Very nice, very nice.
I can't believe that Karbo
I can't believe that Karbo
picked me!
And, and a meeting
it is, as you enter
the, the
the the stratagem of the carcass there are several individuals here you can see the megas
edelfar scourge working around cogitator banks gliding between servitors with
nods yes yes yes yes they're looming in the back are are several shadowy figures it's difficult to
um assess all of them they appear to be some of the the other hidden crew uh there is of course
the captain's voice uh who stands at the side of the amalgamate darkness that sits
on the command throne of this vessel the captain there is also bethiel lifos
standing milling about there is the the telltale sign of activity from the crew the the menials are
at stations um bethiel how do you react to uh to to by zanti entering the area bethiel's going to
like give him a uh like a side eye for a moment but then he's just going to just fix his eyes on
the floor he he's not making any sense he's not making any sense he's not making any sense he's
not making eye contact yeah and as as you do as you you you see this like you see the figure come
in of by zanti and then look at the floor there is of course a chuckle from one of the uh figures
in the the far darkness of the room uh hell bros scorched teeth
yeah but all of you did like by zanti uh evgeny this is what you walk into
hello everyone rumors of my gruesome death were greatly exaggerated fortunately it was not but a
i will be sure to pray for your ascension next time ah by zanti i thought you died welcome back
i'm quite difficult to kill
through he popped right out of that sleep and immediately started trying to proselytize so
nothing has really changed with him i wouldn't hardly call what i did proselytizing well it's
a it's a doxology it's a you told me your beliefs yeah and what a masterful job you did sir
oh goodness you know
i never did care
understand your miles
you know i never did
you know i never did care
for religious people until i became one myself so perhaps i've gotten a bit predictable lumped up with the rest of you degenerates
social interaction continues at all far kind of comes from it is fascinating to witness
have you come here now to receive the news
yes but i was hoping i could soak in some of bathale shame and despair first
yes but i was hoping i could soak in some of bathale shame and despair first
unfortunately fascinating can you explain to me why since bathael wounded you so critically that they should feel shame
i wish to catalogue this
i can't!
but look at the poor dog
is is the is the amusement to be found in the lack of weaponry
the amusement is to be found in the berserker later on
the amusement is to be found in the berserker lime who while long as he strictly defends the earth will be nothing but her only communication while casting doubt against her supplicing her friends brain in the deep dark who only watch and respect her Everless eyes am bulging onto her shape as they ponder as they grin and장을ily bade his hanging for thosestars and are highlighterless at it
Who serves the god of slaughter, feeling guilt and shame for cutting down one of their god's hated foes, because we were allies at the time.
Sephas is going to turn to Byzantium.
Sephas turns to Byzantium.
You're just sorry that you didn't die.
It's understandable.
It was your time, and clearly you're here now, which means it wasn't.
Don't worry.
I'm sure Betheia will do better next time.
I doubt that.
That wasn't supposed to happen like that.
Was the arc of the stroke off?
Perhaps a 20-degree adjustment with a use of a rotating saw-like weapon as opposed to the hammer would have been more...
I grab it by the head.
I do not care.
To hear you way in…
It is done!
Compliance?
Good.
If you would hear...
My voice, perhaps I could express the discovery I have made using the Sensorium array.
A better topic of conversation.
Go.
Betheia, put him down.
I let go of him.
Arzzr.
at all far like kind of like spidery skitters um towards a hololithic desk um that's near the
center of the stratagem hands and strange mecha dendrites begin moving the hololithic
ignites there's a crackle of green and then the green sort of almost like mutates into a
hue of purples and blues and reds and unlight colors of the immaterium as you all know we are
within the immaterium at this point the vessel has completed the necessary adjustments of the
eighth translation thank you very much for your work on that all of you but as was mentioned
before there was a shadow somewhere in the immaterium near us something that
was of a large disposition we have discovered what that disposition is based off of analysis
using sensoria and other augury devices we have identified it as a ramillies class starfort
and its occupants we have identified it specifically as the ramillies class starfort
known as the epsilon
retreat um to all of the uh trader astartes on board um all of you know the epsilon retreat
is an alpha legion uh starfort that operates within the eye
it is an open port to all renegades and traitors you have probably been there a few times
that could be true
yeah like i would say you've you've been there at least twice in your journeys to to rearm and aim
you know basically get missions and whatnot within the eye so i've stumbled on it again
i suppose that timing is convenient enough i certainly wouldn't mind a little stop to that
den of vipers do you have money yes
you understand this lord by zante but i shall uh re-instruct for the uh knowledge of our newest
occupant like battle for looks at you skinny the epsilon retreat is operated by the 20th legion
it has strict protocols of non-violence specifically unsanctioned violence any
sanctioning of violence can only come from the station's director a
a
Adeptus Astartes member
known only as
Harrowmaster Unknown
you know I was
I was going to ask
if that was some kind of
Alpha Legion
Starfort
but the name Harrowmaster Unknown
kind of is predictably
Alpha Legion
yes
ah good then you are familiar with the 20th Legion
and I do not need to go into further details
on them
acceptable
the other parameters is that this vessel
specifically as a Starfort is capable of
translation and transit through the
immaterium
it is able to dock several other classes
of vessels
I have performed a routine scan
of the vessel to receive
an understanding of what
exactly or who exactly
is currently
on the station
there are several vessels
there is an unidentified
troop carrier
bearing the markings of
the Astra Militarum regiment
known as the Praetorian Guard
there is
a vessel belonging to the Black Legion
system identifies it as
the Ninth Journey
uh Lyphos
that name is familiar to you
um particularly for its captain
uh who you know is a chaos
sorcerer of the Black Legion a former member of the
Thousand Sons
named Harithin Silvertongue
would that name be a rival to me
is like I'd see him as a rival or no
not not necessarily a rival
more just like a fellow information broker
but someone who who gave like who who betrayed the Legion
you are still ostensibly a part of
it's less of a rivalry though because
as far as as they go they haven't taken like direct action
they're they're more about their own schemes and as far as
things have gone your schemes have never
overlapped in a negative way
gotcha but he screwed over the
Thousand Sons at some point or something
yeah he left like it's not that even
that he screwed over it's that he left
um
Eddelfar continues there are also a pair of
iconoclast destroyers
the wretched apostasy and the adamant triumph
along with a strike cruiser known as
the Truth of Five
they all belong to the warband of the
renegade astatis known as the endless conflagration
hmm
anyone know anything about the endless conflagration
have we heard of them before
do any of you have any appropriate lore skills to
I think
to call upon
are they are they chaos space marines
because I could do forbidden lore
they sure are
I mean we all
yeah
yeah I think we all do
yeah yeah they should be honest
except
Evgeny
Evgeny
that's correct
oh
he does have lore for something else
what does he have lore for
demonology
I do have common lore imperial guard
oh yeah we'll get you to do common lore imperial guard
uh at a
a straight up check
and then for the rest of you you can also give me just a straight up check
on the endless conflagration
all right
got it
and it's uh
what is it common lore
plus
artifice astatis
yeah
okay
72 I asked to be with you
oh 60
but he reads a failure
fascinatingly I don't seem to be able to roll
why do I know this
uh that's a five for Bethiel
I'm the smartest boy on the planet
can I roll any other thing other than chaos space marines
okay Lyphos had a failure
yeah it looks like the only one who has any degrees of success here
is
Bethiel
I'm gonna roll a d100 give me a second
because I haven't because I've been clicking on the thing and it's just not rolling but I'm not gonna worry about it
oh I can't do anything I have to re-log I guess
just refresh
oh yeah it probably loads up on you
I got lore war if that could do anything
maybe some exploits by the name of
no not this instance
okay let me try again all right stats
uh chaos space marines no difficulty go
yeah I don't know shit
yeah I don't know shit
okay
uh Bethiel you have enough to know about the some basics about the warband known as the endless conflagration considering you rolled a five and thus receive a ton of degrees of success for
somehow
um yeah you know that the endless conflagration is a uh group of Astartes who um they they have a a notable purple or sorry I'm sorry
yeah
orange and black coloration to them um the vast majority of their armor plating is like a bright
almost like pumpkin-y orange um they are they are a very very direct war band in that they
they they team a lot with mortals um and they utilize and have an extensive amount of flame
weaponry um it's thought that a large number of them are renegade salamanders or salamander
offshoot chapters um but they they often come into conflict um with other uh bands of renegades and
and the legions from time to time because they
often find themselves in places of conflict they almost go seeking areas of high interest or high
conflict to cause just maximum damage and destruction it's probably how you know about
them more than anyone else um they are they are fanatics without like a definitive cause
they don't worship a particular power they they just like seeing things burn
hmm
hmm
hmm
, the endless conflagration
i mean i would be surprised if things were not on fire at the station despite the no-no's on violence
they are the no-no's yes the bands etc
um now i was just criticizing your uh adverb yeah please continue
uh-huh
mm-hmm
can't kill can't speak
are you done?
uh now i am yes
good
this one is he's talking a lot of in mace range
uh my mace
that's what say you look down at your non-existent mace because it
yeah exactly
at this point i'm strangling the death
carry on
yes they are masters of flame
weaponry that in flame combat wherever they are literally and figuratively so if anybody is in the market for a flamer i suppose that's where we would get it i'm
i'm quite content thank you
i i dislike flame weapons myself i prefer to be close
they said multiple ships from that warband the two iconoclasts and what was the third
it was a strike cruiser
strike cruiser?
cruiser. You know, strike cruisers usually have compliments of fighters, or rather, occasionally
have compliments of fighters. The captain's voice speaks.
You know we can't do that. We cannot risk the peace of this place.
No, I'm not saying we steal them, unless we, uh, follow them to wherever they're going,
but picking a fight with a warband of that size when we're this decrepit, not an ideal
situation. I'm thinking we bargain or trade.
With what, Byzantium?
Now that is an excellent question. All the eyes just turned to you, Genny. Sorry,
sorry.
No!
I can't take our song!
Oh wow.
We'll give you a big one-fly!
For all these ships.
He's really worth it!
He's so good!
He's the Chosen One!
He's the Chosen One!
He's the Chosen One!
I don't like everybody turning to look at me after that statement.
Some of us didn't look. Thurston made me do something. He god-modded.
They partner with, uh, they partner with humans often. That's what you said, right,
Thurston? That they partner with, uh...
Yeah, they use a lot of renegade guardsmen. They refer to them as kindling.
They do, uh, utilize renegade guardsmen.
And, uh, while we are not giving up ours, at the very least, it means they will have
weapons his size.
Do we have any excess Promethean, perhaps?
No.
Probably not.
But I imagine we'll need information of our prey.
The contact here...
And he kind of, like, points to some of the parts of the holographic map.
Mm-hmm.
He's like...
You can feel a verithy...
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
He should have played better himself, but we'll discuss that later.
Hmm...
The
Uncle of Herethin.
He's here.
If we can meet up with him, we can potentially get some information.
And also, contacts.
To co-acquire Promethium.
The task of a trade to go to another place for more trades.
The view we'll go circles until we get what we want.
Well, let's try not to circumnavigate the station or the universe or the globe or whatever
comes first.
let's just keep an eye out for opportunities who knows maybe Bethael could get a weapon that won't
shatter upon my impervious eye does um does Byzantine have a ginormous gash in like the
front of his like ceramite plate chest armor his armor's like dented like it's dented into him
why does just looks at it he looks up at Byzantine he's like all right
it seems you are perhaps in the market for new armor
I'm in the market for something that can actually turn this rotted carcass that we fly around in
into a veritable warship and you would be in the market for the same if you cared for success for
me
and death well and the captain's voice butts in I have initiated the protocols necessary

I don't need a D100
I don't need a D100
Lifos
if you want me to try the perils
I can just roll the thing
no no no no no no I would never
say you using warp magic
but I would say that like there's like a
a 2% chance
that you do cause some kind of effect
oh excellent alright here you go
uh that is
gonna be a 20
you're fine see perfect awesome
tape is billowing beautifully
yeah there's like some music
somewhere
it's got a theme song going
it's just the sound of a clogged pipe
nearby
I didn't know the dark tide music
producer was here
get off of our ship

1D6
some odd
like
and then you would add 10
I don't know why
it was hours
it was hours
ok so
she's up by now
ok fine
thanks for laughing Odo
I thought it was funny
I thought it was funny
so you make your way to the umbilical which as as you can tell the carcass is maneuvering to dock
you don't see any of this but you know by zanti your aspects and the rest of you any kind of
station monitors that you come by confirm this eventually you reach the
you can tell that there is a sealed airlock doorway which leads off the station
or sorry off the ship onto the station
we docked with empty space
yeah they chewed us into the airlock
that happened when i was playing elite dangerous it was fucked
all right you want
to walk through urndale
yeah
we are alpha legion and we take the long view attributed to primarch alfarius
door opens and there is a lone adeptus astartes that stands in the midpoint of a long stretching
hall they are in a shimmering
blue set
of mark 4 power
armor
symbol of a three-headed hydra curls along one of their pauldrons
beyond that they look like a legionnaire plucked out of time
someone who could have stood amongst innumerable squads during the horus heresy
you know this
Is Harrowmaster unknown of the Alpha Legion?
There he is.
That's how he shows up, like a bubble that he, like, appears.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He simply stands there like an immovable statue in the middle of the hall.
Thurston.
Yes.
For the, it was the pledge, right?
Or what you meant that we have to offer up?
Yeah.
Essentially, there's, like, a thing you have to agree to before you come on to the station.
Yeah.
We're not going to cause a fight.
We're not going to start a fight for no reason.
Yeah.
Would Lifos have the knowledge of this?
Would you like me to roll something to see if I know it offhand?
You've done it before.
It's essentially just a promissory pledge.
You can, you would know the specifics of it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Lifos comes forth.
And.
You know, Cape's still billowing.
Trying to look as majestic as he can.
But he was like, he'll say, like.
My Lifos are the most powerful of the thousand sun sorcerers.
Pledge to do no harm.
To cause no ill.
To fight no fight.
Unless it is approved.
Sorry, I fucked up.
Approved by your gaze.
The statue-like eyes.
Of the marine, like, adjust very slightly that the helmet, like, shifting the only sound is like ceramite scratching ceramite as the helmet shifts and it goes over to, to look at Bethael.
I will participate in no unsanctioned violence while I am in your territory.
Shifts again.
Over to Cephas this time.
Cephas will gently, are they really allowed to bring weapons aboard or did we get told to leave them behind, by the way?
You can bring weapons.
Cephas just has his hand on the pommel of his sword that is just in a side holster at his hip, and he's just going to very lazily.
What was that?
What was the pledge again?
Sorry, I had it for a second.
Basically, yeah, you agree to basically do not start any fights.
No, no, no, I know that.
I thought, I thought everyone was saying the same thing.
I'm pretty sure you can just make your own, your own thing.
I will bid no harm to anyone who does not attack me aboard your vessel without your sanction, as does my attendant.
The, the head, like, moves an even smaller fraction to regard Lucitrix.
I will follow my lord's instructions.
I will cause no harm aboard your ship, your vessel, unless I have your approval.
It shifts over.
It shifts over.
It shifts over again, this time to Byzanty.
Excellent.
I'm going to make a willpower minus ten.
I have many secrets.
I have many secrets.
Which I assume is hilarious to the Alpha Legion, and then we both just laugh.
Would you like to, you could probably, you could try to make that into a funny, you could make that into a...
Could I, could I pitch, could I pitch that into a funny?
Could I, could I pitch that into some sort of, um, uh, uh, social role to, to the Harrowmaster, my old friend here?
Would you, would you want to try a charm?
A charm, maybe, perhaps?
Well, it thirsts and requires, even requires it.
Wow.
Let's give you a plus twenty charm.
That's great.
Get it, dude.
He did it.
Oh, that's two degrees of success!
Yay!
There's, like, a slight difference.
There's, like, a slight difference.
There's, like, a slight difference.
There's a slight nod.
Yeah, we understand each other.
There's a slight nod.
The, the creeping going up and down briefly.
Yeah, we understand each other.
The, the creeping going up and down briefly.
And then he moves.
And then he moves.
He moves towards you, until he stands above Yevgeny and looks down.
Yevgeny's staring up at the Harrowmaster, visibly swallows every ounce of courage that he has.
I will brook no harm to you or anyone on this station without your prior help.
I will brook no harm to you or anyone on this station without your prior help.
I will brook no harm to you or anyone on this station without your prior help.
I will brook no harm to you or anyone on this station without your prior help.
I will brook no harm to you or anyone on this station without your prior help.
I will brook no harm to you or anyone on this station without your prior help.
I will brook no harm to you or anyone on this station without your prior help.
I will brook no harm to you or anyone on this station without your prior help.
I will brook no harm to you or anyone on this station without your prior help.
I will brook no harm to you or anyone on this station without your prior help.
I will brook no harm to you or anyone on this station without your prior help.
I will brook no harm to you or anyone on this station without your prior help.
I will brook no harm to you or anyone on this station without your prior help.
I just imagine, like, as soon as he makes that comeback,
there's, like, a background shot of us going,
Oh!
Who is us?
Who is us here?
You don't want to be included.
You can just be the rest of the crew.
Do not speak for me.
I'm going to God's hide you.
You're doing backflips now.
We got minded.
Yeah, the hairmaster looks at the dint, looks back up.
We have no members of the fourth on board this time.
You can entrust it to the serfs here.
The Vindicta are quite skilled.
With that, if you wish, you may go into the Hydra's den
or partake in anything else you require.
There may be some events in the fighting pits.
We have some new captured gladiators.
Maybe after I find a weapon.
I assume you are here because of the hub.
Lifos kind of looks at the rest of his crew and says,
We have many secrets.
May we enter inside?
The hairmaster steps aside.
You may go.
Yeah, the intention is like,
I don't want to get this guy all the information.
Let's keep our own dealings to ourselves.
I'm done talking to you.
Yeah, get out of here.
PC skits dialogue.
Byzantium, as they leave,
will give a little polite, not deferential,
but a polite bow.
Thank you again, most honored hairmaster.
Till next we meet.
And then leave off.
Yeah.
All right.
So you enter when, as you enter,
you can see that the walls here,
everything inside is meticulously well.
I mean, as much as an imperial style,
Star Fortress can be.
There are lines of Spartoi Vindicta,
the Auxilia troops of the 20th Legion
that have survived the many, many long millennia,
still wearing their Auxilia armor,
well-maintained with Blast Rifles
and other equipment patrolling up and down the corridors.
Yes.
Though,
they're mortals,
they are well-trained and potent,
deadly for mortals,
enough to at least be a reasonable gang
should anything arise,
at least until Astarte's backup can be called.
You know that there's a few places on the board.
As was mentioned,
there are fighting pits here.
There's also a well-known watering hole
called the Hydra's Den.
Ugh.
Curiously,
Cephas and Liz Chicks are going to go to the Hydra's Den.
All right.
Who else is going to go there?
Hmm.
I'm going to go shopping.
Okay.
Luckily, the sort of, like, commercial district
is in sort of the same promenade area
with the Hydra's Den and a few other areas,
so you can't go with the group, yeah.
You know, it would be unfathomably amusing
to watch you trundle through this process.
I think I'll accompany you, Bethael.
What an honor.
Remember, no violence, not even a love tap,
or else Harrowmaster Unknown will be quite displeased.
A bro's scorched teeth grunts.
I'm going to the pits.
I will be there when I have secured myself a weapon.
I have esteem to let off.
Uh, Evgeny?
Where might I find the Legion of Imperial Guard here,
the Praetorian Guard?
You don't know.
I will have to inquire.
I suppose I will go to the Hydra's Den
alongside Cephas as well.
Make it chaos beer.
Chaos beer, it's the best beer.
Lephos, where are you gonna go?
I want to find our chaos informant,
try to hunt down Harithan.
I would like to propose if I can use either
a science to be like, okay,
maybe see if I can find some psychic presence
of people around.
It's like a dog to a scent I'm imagining at that point.
If that's not appropriate,
I'm gonna go to the Hydra's Den.
I'm gonna go to the Hydra's Den.
I'm gonna go to the Hydra's Den.
I'm gonna go to the Hydra's Den.
I'm gonna go to the Hydra's Den.
no that's absolutely appropriate absolutely science plus ten thank you
i need to get one oh my god he sees everything
okay so maybe he is the best wizard maybe he is the best wizard
he just might be he if he if he only rolled that for the rest of the session he would objectively
be all right you heard him only rolled oh one you would be the best no pressures or no
thirsting you heard him blow up the station i'm glad that there was ever since the horse
here so you guys have finally admitted that he is the best one how many years ten thousand
an entire book for a really long time all right you immediately know that harrison's
psychic presence
it's visible in the hydra's den oh so i guess i go to the hydra's den
so everyone's going to the hydra's den
i was i was like getting my notes down into the here and i hear hydra's
dinner i'm like i look up and i look like i guess i'm gonna hide it
don't split the party don't split the party get some beer
uh chaos beer i look down i look at my skeleton it'll be fine i frown and skeleton
body's gone what an idiot i don't have that if that happened that was that's not me i've got all
this body it's dented dented chest plate his ribs are concave
it only hurt a little
i'm sorry not so sorry
alright alright you make your way there the again everything here is very immaculate very well
maintained you can see the these solar ox troops maintaining rigid discipline here occasionally
you see uh members of the alpha legion going in various marks of armor around patrolling
but there's also other some the occasional glimpse of a black and gold armored figure the occasional
glimpses of just heckles and allys and absolument vallies of the alpha legion of this of these other
haggard mortals in various attire uh moving about there's more than most legion facilities um oh
yeah sorry thank you uh more than most legion facilities there are a lot of mortals shuffling
around here um so it's it's honestly kind of more like a melting pot vessel than anything else
eventually it intensifies as you start to get closer uh towards where you know the hydra
stand is and you get to that sort of promenade area uh where there are haggling bazaars of
merchants uh members of the new mechanicum members of various uh rogue trader and cold trade families
operating uh selling goods and equipment other uh cultish orders
blocking all manner of charms and baubles there's a cacophony of voices that assaults
you as you enter the area
ah you hear that that's the sound the whole damn galaxy should be making
that sounds like noise verbs to your ears
i tell you i'm telling you
you once bethale and i've told you a thousand times these alpha legionnaires they might just
be some of the best of us as you say i think you just like them because they keep as many secrets
well it's certainly not a bug against them
by xanthi i haven't i have a genuine question for you very good is the mirror is the mirror at
of having a secret enough for someone to be in your good book.
This is a question that I've been thinking about for a short while.
I find it very interesting.
Well, that would make me quite an all-loving fellow, wouldn't it?
Because then I would love everyone.
Perhaps on some level I do, just like dear old Grandfather.
I'm glad you see it that way.
Sirs! Sirs!
Like a bejeweled merchant looks up at both of you as you have your conversation.
Sirs! Lords!
Yes, mortal.
Yes.
That one, he points to Evgeny, looks like good stock.
Would you be willing to trade?
No.
Are you certain? I have many ways.
You have the perfect response right now.
You have the response.
I take a look at Cephas's companion.
We have many humans.
No!
Cephas will just like, with his free hand, nudge Lucitrix's shoulder
as if this was something they prepared beforehand.
And Lucitrix immediately goes into a horrific, despicable, foul coughing spit
where a pus and snot and other shit is coming out of her the entire time.
Cephas bleeds.
Alright, come on Evgeny, let's leave.
Ben-Fyle is definitely making the, like, dog stink face again.
I don't want to catch whatever she has.
Remember, if you're disappointed with your mortal, come to me.
She will continue hacking as Cephas and her walk past with the rest of them.
I'll treat them right.
She's leaving like a trail behind her, like a slide.
Then film of goo.
You know, Cephas, I'm actually quite impressed by you.
Why so?
You didn't even have to think about selling dear old Yevgeny.
I don't think Lifehurst would have had the same courage and loyalty.
Well, it's not necessarily a matter of loyalty,
but what would his life have been enriched by in the service of a people trader?
Certainly nothing that we could do.
Well, perhaps there's some wisdom in that rotten skull of yours, after all.
I'm glad you think so.
I'm glad too.
I'm less glad now.
No.
He's just...
Yeah, would anyone like to buy maps?
We have maps to the Hab.
Best warp routes available.
Do we have a map already?
Do we know where we're going?
We don't even have a navigator.
Yeah, we just rod on at the warp every time we go.
Yeah.
No, this is a map for the Hab, for the thing we're on.
No.
Da Hab.
Da Hab.
Da Hab, which is the place that the Harrowmaster mentioned.
Right.
Which, of course, we all know.
But, Kirsten, maybe you could tell us a little bit more.
You decided to push past the Harrowmaster when Lyphos is like,
fuck you, we don't need to become involved in your politics.
I just thought he was talking too much.
Zorn literally was like, I don't want to get involved in your schemes.
I was literally protecting our objective.
I know.
I know.
We have many fuck-ups.
I'm the zoot guy.
Maybe my plans are the plans in order to mess with the Appalachian.
Yeah.
They're great.
Thurston, this map seller, describe this individual a little bit for me, please, as we take the map.
She is a middle-aged woman who has several kind of cylindrical cases by her.
They appear to have artist's renditions of warp translation routes.
Her hair is well kept.
It's done back in a bit of a bun that has what appears to be a dagger through it.
Keeping it all in place as a bit of backup weapon.
She is in, you know, average style clothing.
There are a lot of, like, not shitty looking people aboard this chaos station.
It is very interesting.
The skincare is great.
But everybody gets immediately un-shitified.
That's why Byzanta loves it.
These guys got their shit together.
They're fucking awesome.
We haven't seen a lick of cannibalism since we got in here.
Well, we haven't been here for very long.
Oh, look, you'll get there eventually.
I mean, we can't have everything.
To wit on that, Cephas will approach and inquire after a map.
Ah, of course you want one.
Color me intrigued, mortal.
What would you be willing to trade for this?
Oh.
I see you are blessed by the plague, father.
Mm-hmm.
Very much so, as is my attendant.
I will trade you this fine map.
She like, like, kind of like kneel bows.
For one of your holy grenades.
Ah.
Be that all?
Yes.
Cephas wants to try and get a little bit more out of this.
By...
I'm going to schmooze a wee bit.
Can I attempt a charm?
Yeah, sure.
Uh...
Now, I'm going to assume this is just regular.
Like, this is just a challenge, right?
So, like...
So, what are you...
You're charging to...
Like, what exactly are you charming to?
I'm...
He's going to...
He's going to lead in with some polite words and say, more or less, that these are very powerful.
And they have been blessed by Nurgle.
And that he is doing her an immense favor by giving over one of these extremely rare tools of war.
Some mortal...
Give me a...
Give me a charm at a plus 20.
All righty.
Let's see what I got.
Ah!
79.
Ah...
I understand.
But you must understand, from my perspective,
everyone seeks to reach the hub.
Thus, the map does have value.
I would be remiss if I did not attempt, at least.
Very well.
Lucitrix.
She, like, reaches into her pack and produces one of the grenades and bows, handing it over to the woman.
Take with Grandfather's blessing.
May I raise a hand?
Why not?
Yeah.
Uh...
If you don't mind if I do some psychic shenanigans, Arendelle?
Uh, what exactly are you doing?
I'm gonna put it in her mind, where it's like, is there something speaking to her, going like,
like, why are you accepting this gift?
You would serve greater and be part of a greater thing and da-da-da if you just give this to this...
to this one.
You'll receive greater blessings down the line kind of deal.
I'll try to help you get it for free.
I think I'm okay with trading one for one.
I'm...
I like the...
I'm okay with trading that prospect.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
So...
So, yeah.
Get it.
And you see this little, like, cherubic servitor come out and collect it and place it into,
like, a steel box alongside other sort of festering and moldering items.
The mortal then presents you with the map rendition.
Uh, you can see that Dahab is clearly some world within the confines.
Uh, very good.
I would be...
Considering how far in we are, I would be...
I would be a little annoyed if it was somehow out of it.
It...
It does look as though the world itself is almost divided into four quadrants by some
kind...
Like, the way it's rendered.
Um, each with different sort of colored clouds.
You see red, pink, blue, and green.
But then there's, like, a gray equatorial band.
Uh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.

Currency.
Lodo, may I assist you?
Yes, please.
Uh...
Lifehose is just trailing by.
Lifehose has been fucking waiting.
As Bethany...
I have a fellowship of 26.
I cannot haggle.
As Bethany is, like, just, like, patting your pockets, really.
Like, I have, uh, uh, get lint out, I guess.
Um, Lifehose will come over and go, like, like,
I can help in this exchange, if you do not mind.
I have...
Whoa!
You have a skull.
Yes.
Yes.
I have many things.
I'm not trying to do your bit.
Like...
He just came with it.
I'm sorry.
How are you?
How are you?
I'm not trying to wear your coat.
I just wanted to try it that one time.
I just wanted to...
Two times.
Two times.
Two times.
Continue.
Yeah, I'm a poser.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna really see.
He will...
He will swoop.
Kind of like as a magic trick, he will, uh, clasp his hands together and extend it up
in...
As it begins to form a psi focus.
It will appear in his hand as he kind of, uh, holds it gingerly as he goes, like,
This rod of power can show many magics for those who seek to ascend to the higher planes.
This I have used before to smite a demon.
But of course, I have outgrown its usefulness.
I have ascended higher in my own ways.
But to others, it is a prized position.
Something that can elevate even the weakest of sorcerers.
A fair trade.
A generous trade.
For something as mundane as...
A hammer.
Can I allow you to make a deceive or a commerce check on this?
Let me see what I have.
You had some really good roleplay there, so, like, I'll give you a plus 20 on it.
All right, thanks.
Welcome.
Hooray.
I'm trying to...
I'm trying to find it on the blah, blah, blah.
It should be on the sheet.
Like the sheet?
Yeah, that...
Just check there.
I'm stupid.
I put it out of order.
I don't know why I'm stupid.
Anyway.
Uh...
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Uh...
No.
Wait.
We love you.
I do apologize.
Let's check one more time.
I'm losing my mind.
Deceive or commerce?
Deceive or commerce, you say?
Well, they're both garbage.
Well, they're better than mine.
You don't know what Beth IELTS is.
Well, the commerce is a 35, so I'm going to go with that.
So, plus 20?
Yeah, plus 20.
Yeah.
All right.
Thank you, sir.
Sorry for taking too long.
We're good.
I mean, it's better than my commerce, which is a six.
Ninety-four.
No.
Can I...
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
I'm good.
I'm good.
Okay, no.
Okay, no.
I'm good.
I'm good.
No.
No.
No.
Okay.
No.
No.
No.
Okay.
Okay.
No.
No.
Oh, my God.
Thurston.
Oh, my God.
Can I at least...
Can I at least...
What's going on?
...give the reaction here before you fucking step into this?
Oh, no.
Can I at least give the...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
By all means.
plane is. Is that like when you take two planes and put them on top of each other?
Oh my god.
Are you offering me two planes?
Yes, the key. The key to two powerful planes. Many pawns inside.
What?
Uh, by Santee, you wanted to step in now.
Yeah, Lighthouse, uh, so Lighthouse is attempting to pawn off a force weapon, right?
Uh, it's a scythe, I guess.
No, I'm pretty sure it's like a stick or something.
Oh, okay.
It's really a fancy looking stick.
Okay. Now listen. I really need to find where to find some planes, Ogryn.
Where do you find planes here on the station?
Oh, what?
What?
Oh my god.
His, like, his eyes, like, wetly smack. Like, you hear them, like, opening and closing as he stares at you by Santee.
Well, um, I think that you can find planes on the embarkation decks. Many planes there.
That's great.
All right.
Bethel, do you want another stupid hammer or are you going to get a real weapon?
Are you going to get a plane?
I'm sorry. Since when was it not an effective weapon?
Since I shattered it into a thousand tiny pieces.
You hear that.
As I recall, it did the same to your ribcage.
Yes, when I wasn't seeing it coming.
I wanted to hop off of that, like, yeah, as it burst into a billion pieces.
I apologize. I'm trying to fish for a scrutiny roll.
Oh, yeah, okay.
To see if I can apply this in some way, so please forgive me if I am taking advantage and playing a Tannhauser.
Go for it. Go for it.
Whoa, whoa.
Damn.
Same sign.
Same sign.
Shit.
Shit.
I know, Zoran.
I do what I do.
I don't want to act like your stupid fucking character.
You know, you were passing that for all the moment, and then you were like, and then I will send, I will cut all of your funding immediately.
And then I'll run you over with the car.
And then the fucking Fire Nation attack is going to happen.
The people's favorite communist taking praise.
I know about the philosophy of if you're not picked on, you're not loved.
So.
So.
So.
So.
So.
What the fuck?
What the fuck?
Don't you think about it actually?
Yeah.
Hey, shut up, you skinny.
No one asked your opinion.
Shut the fuck up, you.
Shut.
I fucking.
I slap him.
How dare you say?
I don't want back to the Franchise Doll.
Uncensored violence.
Oh, God, no.
The Alpha Legion Descent.
I get teleported.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
But first, Thurston, will you allow me to try this?
I'm sorry for interrupting, but I guess it was funny.
Yeah.
to do the scrutiny test for just uh i'll role play it out and if you don't accept it just role play
back and i'll just step out no no no no no what okay you're making a scrutiny test to do what
the the attempt basically is to go oh obviously by zancy you said oh this is a terrible weapon
because of how much it shattered and stuff don't worry it's good like i suppose your things aren't
that worth it anyway i guess because of this item it would be worth at least 10 of those but
i suppose you don't want to resell it for people interested in planes you know kind of
basically scrutinizing the value of his weapons is kind of what i'm angling towards like oh i bet
this isn't even worth that much that's why you have so abundance of them in the bag okay okay
yep give me uh give me a scrutiny test okay plus 10 plus 10 thank you that's gonna be going for a
take it
okay so you recognize that the quality of the chain hammers here is poor quality
no which normally would be bad except in this instance it's not that bad because it makes it
easier to acquire it and you can you can haggle a little bit from that i don't want a poor
quality
i'm gonna go get a big boy chain hammer i shouldn't have role played you could that
could have been just the most legendary hammer and i just made it poor
you decoded it simply by simply by saying it's um and i'll tell you why it's a good thing because
it actually gives like odo a a chance to acquire it oh with my commerce of six no no no to acquire
items in this game you do
not make um a commerce check no no no no no silly fool you make an infamy check
so in this case you have to do what's called an acquisition which is an infamy test based
off your infamy score um now chain hammers as very very rare weapons
are by necessity um hard to or by virtue i should say hard to obtain a very rare weapon essentially
means you're going to take a minus 20 penalty to your infamy check what's your infamy right
uh my infamy let me double check because i didn't want to save on foundry i believe it's 27
if i recall the number correctly 26 actually i gave myself another one
okay
so 26 so you'd be at minus 20 so you'd have a six percent chance of getting it but a poor
increases that by 10 and then buying a single item gets you another so you'd be back to 26
for a check all right you know might as well have a spare though i feel like a my my chain sword is
better than poor quality chain hammer might as well i will make the roll but that's a d10 not
a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10
not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10 not a d10
i rolled a 10 i rolled 10.
what does that get me game master
ow
not quite enough i don't have money
so as you were attempting to do this i i'm gonna ask a question here
what happened to the ruined remains of your prior chain hammer
ah
Bethael probably immediately stormed to the cages
and just wrecked whatever was left of it,
and then maybe kept, like, the handle.
Okay. Okay. Perfect. Perfect. Excellent.
Alright, um, cutting back to this deal was a-
No, I can't do that.
No.
If- if you come back when you have maybe more things to trade,
then I could do that.
I will find one by all means.
Do you need some antiseptic for your mouth?
You seem to have a problem.
These are metal!
Do not need antiseptic.
Oh. Okay.
I say, you do have a scorpion tail.
You do.
What would I do with that?
Cut it off and give it to him?
Maybe.
I'd accept that as a legal tender.
Yeah, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I don't think- I don't think it's worth it for a poor quality chain hammer.
I do have a backup weapon.
It just doesn't match my art anymore.
I could try something if you'd like.
Nah, I think- I think by this point,
Bethael is gonna get frustrated
and is going to start moving toward the fight pits
because if anyone is, like,
if anybody is giving away, like, a weapon or something,
like, as a prize in some way he doesn't have to haggle for,
it would be there.
Hmm.
I love it. I love it.
Alright, so Bethael, you could absolutely storm off.
And as you, like, turn from this okran, uh, you can see, like,
Uh, you can see that further down is, is the, the visible neon sign of the Hydra's den.
When we are finished with our matters here, I am going to the pits.
I never believe there will be a prize or something.
Well, you certainly stand a better chance.
If it is worth my time, or if it is...
Regardless, it will be worth my time.
I will either bloody my knuckles on something and go home content,
or I will come home with something extra.
Oh, the power to you, Vifael.
Yeah, and I will actually hand Bethael my chainsword.
I, I, I do not need two of them.
Well, you've got two hands, don't you?
Besides...
Cephas turns around for that one,
like,
what the fuck?
Besides, what if the one you have right now breaks?
I wouldn't dare imagine that you would die from such a thing,
but I'd like the honor of being there when you finally are beaten bloody and bruised.
Bethael, even ignoring Byzante's obvious goading,
surely you would have more enjoyment using two weapons rather than one?
I suppose I would.
Even if it comes from your charity.
I'm glad we understand each other.
If you are so displeased by it, I could loan you my power sword, provided you do not break it.
I prefer a chain weapon.
He's going to snatch it from Byzante.
I like...
He could give you mine, sir, although you might find it a bit small for your hands.
Everyone's giving Byzante a weapon.
Chain knife.
And my axe!
Yet it gives you an axe.
And my staff!
And the ogryn shopkeeper is so overwhelmed by everyone giving Bethael,
it's like you could have his chain, he'll...
Did he just swept up in the moment?
Yeah, that AU fanfiction
would be pretty fun.
Unfortunately, we don't have hero points,
so no. No, can't make
a hero declaration.
What the fuck is this show?
Beth Isle is just going to snatch
the chainsword from Byzantium.
He's going to kind of feel out the balance
in his hand, roll it a couple of times, and just
Going into the...
Oh, good.
I'm going to grab Byzantium by the front of the armor.
Oh!
Hello!
And I'm going to drag him off
somewhere that is not in front of the rest of the party.
Kind of in the back of the bar.
I'm going to...
Yep, dragged away, never to be seen again.
Quiet.
I'm going to say this
once, and you are not going to
interrupt me.
Do you understand?
Most likely.
Why don't you speak?
I am in my right mind.
And it will happen
when the time
is right.
May I speak now,
oh great hound of corn?
If you must.
Then I'll tell you, Beth Isle,
that you will have to
master yourself
before you can claim that you no longer
strike like a maddened...
dog.
Control your temper,
for that day of our righteous
and overwhelming
duel
will never come to pass,
and you will be alone and
unfulfilled and forever lacking
the taste of my blood
from your maw.
So harden yourself
now.
Don't waste
this life of yours.
...
...
That was
double fake you.
A momentary setback
was your little cheap shot.
You didn't honestly think that was a...
Well, if you did, I suppose you'd be gloating,
wouldn't you?
Oh, Beth Isle,
what would I do without you?
Certainly be dead by now.
Shut him off.
Perhaps so, perhaps so.
Oh, do do me a favor, though.
If you happen to find any conspicuous
wealth or any inkling
of how we might be able to obtain
some fighter craft
for our emperor-class
vessel ship
carrier,
that would be lovely.
We will see what they offer
in the pits.
It's probably not an airplane.
Probably not.
But you'd be surprised.
You never know.
Why are we offering airplanes?
It's, look, we're indulging
Speaker's Battlefleet gothic obsession.
Yeah, Speaker's do the shit for us to all play
Battlefleet gothic.
No, what you're indulging,
what you're, excuse me,
what you're indulging, everybody,
M, M, is Byzantys dominion motivation.
Which is being filled through my desire
to get you all to play Battlefleet Gothic with me.
Yes, that's true.
There we go.
Yeah, there we go.
There's everyone, everyone.
Speaker, I want you to know,
every single time
you mention airplanes in this fucking Warhammer 40K
thing,
I can only ever imagine one of those like World War II
planes running by while the battlefield,
nineteen forty,
42 theme it's driving me mad oh and just i want to point out that we try we're trying to put on
like a little narrative kill team thing it was like oh yeah we get kill team together stuff
like that and then i hear from left field yeah we could also include battlefleet gothic and i'm like
oh so you want me you want me to spend 16 hours a day playing it's your way to sneak that in
going now everyone has to play you know shockingly shockingly it was not my idea to integrate bfg
and i don't know if it's the best idea but yes yes i am that's usually what the person in gunpoint
makes the other person say yeah oh just just so you know uh thurston just so you know um and this
is like i don't know if this will ever be relevant it's just something useful yeah yeah just so you
know right like a typical fighter
yeah for a chaos battleship they have swift vets anti-ship fighters doomfire bombers and dread claw
assault just just we don't got none of that shit yeah we got we got one our
it's the funniest shit ever actually but we gotta we gotta fix it or else we're gonna give you that
emotional high of like listing off the name of the battleship and you were so fucking happy
and then i just had to say like
what the what the quirk was and then the gears began to spin the quirk was so devastating so
diabolical i think it just shifted right back to me still being happy because i love that it's so
speaker loves that we are piloting the the uss gerald r ford with its complement of a ford pinto
yes it's it's the only fucking
real fucking battleship with no six of armor on the front it's five all around which in bfg it's
reversed the higher your arm is saved the better and it's it's slow as ass and it sucks at
everything but shooting fighters which we don't have we can't do that awesome speaker
huh you've done well uh read the quote
from shame and shadow recast in black and gold reborn the scripture of scryer dianthan
the interior of the hydra's den is a mishmash of people in a starties sitting at tables drinking
various brews enjoying foodstuffs or simply conversing
as
you come in there's one loud boisterous um voice that kind of booms over everything
evgeny you're the first to hear it it it the the speaker seems to be in the middle of a conversation
yes you see and that's when the savage green skin fell upon us but we were ready we were ready
i had lines of men prepared for the endeavor be aimed and one second
i got a little cake music i must smoke from my pipe
as you turn and see a host of white and red armored individuals listening to a man who
is clearly their commander uh who smokes for a hand pipe uh they all have these fantastic
pith helmets um and the man speaking has a very clear tattoo of an octet on the side
of his mustache
ah god yes as i was saying my heart is beating fast as i am dying even if my life's not bad
and on the other hand they're killing me again and i would would like to say thanks to you
saying the green-skinned savages had reached our lines,
but as they say, first rank, second rank, fire!
And we did.
And we did again.
And we did again.
His head shakes like, like he's effectuating stress.
You there!
He shouts at Evgeny.
Evgeny points a finger at himself, wordlessly, like, me.
Obviously, you've seen the threat of the green-skin.
Of course.
I've put home our fair share of them in my time serving the dogs of the Imperium.
Well, as upon my honor, I should say, as Major General Hansi Ekelbart of the Praetorian Guard,
by the gods, did we slay the green-skins of the Imperium.
On that day.
Just like my forefathers at Big Tooth River.
And slay them you did, sir.
Doesn't matter whose you're fighting or who you're fighting for, those green fungicide
bastards die just the same.
See, that's what it takes.
A sharp wit, and a cracking glass weapon.
You can aim down the sights and see the red hate in their eyes.
They're not like us.
They're not like us. They're not like us.
They're not like us. They're not like us. They're not like us. They're not like us.
No, no, no, they are not like us.
They have alien dreams and alien goals and alien agendas.
Some may call the people here traitors.
I do not agree. I do not agree.
For we are all, at the end of the day, humans.
Humans.
And since the Emperor's Great Crusade till now,
we've always fought for green skin, no matter what.
A constant of the species, mind you.
There is no greater honor than purging them.
Absolutely, sir.
It's true, nobody can hate like humans can hate.
Nobody can betray like a human can betray his fellow man.
But we would never betray each other.
The wires of the green skin, no.
No, they are an abominable creature.
There is purity in hate, and we shall hate the green skin, the savages.
And we shall gun them down until...
...our last days.
But you, my friend, you clearly see the right of it.
You should join us in our crusade against the stars,
against the green tide.
Oh, by all means, I would love to,
though I've seemed to have thrown in lots with
looking back at the four metahumans behind him.
I'm a capable warband,
but we fully intend to make war against the greens,
and the green skins in due time.
I think there are far, far more pressing targets
to put a few bolts through in short order.
But the green skins will get theirs in time,
let me be sure of that.
I'm sure we will see each other on the front lines
of some far-flung world,
fighting these godless green skins.
And when we do, I will...
...be sure to share a few cartridges with you,
my dear man,
and a few low stogies myself.
He gives you the most British of salutes.
Evgeny will stand at attention
and give him another salute in return.
Like, his whole body is shaking as he stands rigid.
A single tear rolls down his eye.
Captain, a low stick, sir.
Yes, sir.
Evgeny will fish out his cartridge.
His mouth quivers, like, like, quivers slightly open,
giving, like, the smallest opening on his, like,
on the right side of his mouth.
Evgeny will put one of the low sticks in this...
Oh, I've closed the picture. I lost his name already.
Uh, Major General Hansi Ekelbart.
Major General Hansi Ekelbart.
Thank you.
Uh, Evgeny will take one of the low sticks,
put it in Major General Hansi Ekelbart's mouth,
and light it for him.
He sucks in while still standing rigid and saluting,
and, like, like, blows out in, like, the thinnest line around it.
His, like, mouth doesn't open.
Yes!
This is a very strange picture.
He finishes.
Good job, sir. Good job.
He goes slightly at ease.
The men are all moved to tears.
What do the rest of you think of this human general, man?
He is lizard.
He rocks.
Bethael is, like, completely zoning out,
like, blinking out of sync.
This is what humans are like?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, you're fighting Oryx.
I've fought on Terra, so whatever.
I'm...
I was there when the Warmaster died.
Yeah, I'm sad.
Taking a look at my fellows
who are so incredibly unimpressed
by this mortal...
Fuck.
...who has spent his entire life fighting the monsters
that we were bred to defeat
and has joined the right side of history.
I could take out my sonic blaster.
Oh, fuck.
I'm gonna set the power to minimum
and...
I'm gonna start shredding.
Green skins, green skins.
How we hate, how we crave,
how we need to bring an end
to the green skin.
I'm gonna go and do a sick fucking power ballad.
As if someone was playing Wonderball
at the music store,
Lifo puts a hand up to the side of his skull
and walks away.
Goddamn!
What?
Lifos is walking away.
Bethael is going to go fight things.
You're shredding
and Cephas is just standing there.
I do want to make an apology.
That was ringing in my head
as soon as you started.
I'm like, I think I have to say it.
In reality, Lifos will leave you
to your performance
as he begins to go look for his target.
I like that you say the exact same thing,
just nicer.
Yeah, yeah.
Not in the asshole way.
Give me a...
Give me a...
You know what?
Give me a...
Give me a plus 20 performer musician check.
Oh.
Oh.
Fuck.
That's another skill.
Oh, there's so many skills.
I know.
I was hoping it would be a charm check.
Oh, God.
No.
I cannot be in Vizanti.
Fucking Vizanti.
Why do you suck at playing music?
You're in Doisry.
Oh, it is actually Wonderball.
I mean, it could be.
And you're just trying to say...
Oh!
What?
Green scale!
What?
Green scale!
We got two ones.
Oh, damn you.
What?
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, what?
We got two ones.
Holy shit.
Lifos and Vizanti have proven themselves
at their life task by, you know,
the fourth episode of this fucking show.
Good job.
Good job.
Good job.
Clap, clap.
Many claps.
Many claps.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
What a taste of the song of Slaanesh.
You must forgive me, Major-General.
Your ballad inspired something in this Slaanesh's heart.
The general approaches you
and stands, like, comically, like, up to your chest
and looks up.
He salutes, again, with the sharp, crack-like palm
facing towards you.
A British classic salute.
His mustache twitches.
Oh, yes.
dash twitches i have never been more inspired in my life i pledged me and my entire battalion
and our troop carrier to you and your service what oh and you will not be found in the wrong
company major general your loyalty will be rewarded with glory with death and with the
murder of green skins out of greenscans among other things but yes yeah love it man
nicely done back to the troop carrier we must prepare
yes i guess they all stand up in like the most like perfect rigid like autonomy um and like
get up and begin marching out as echo barrett watches them
yeah i guess that was okay
ah i love music i apologize we are not but a simple band of 800 soldiers but we are at your
disposal now 800 why thank you major general make your way upon the carcass if you wish
it is a grand emperor class battle cruiser but it is in need of sore repair and fresh hands
hands that perhaps you and your men may provide
i see you have ample cargo place we shall supplement your fighter support most excellent
we look forward to being protected by your fighters as we land and he like turns and goes off
too
we're going to have to explain that to him aren't we not until he's on board
we will have to explain that to him
it's like like rewind like 10 seconds ago to the scene that didn't happen like ah yes we should all board our vessel the soft shell turtle
we shall all board our vessel the soft shell turtle
we shall all board our vessel the soft shell turtle
shell turtle
our safe our powerful vessel
the helpless baby bird
but you see we walked here
we just had boy suits on
yeah I'm gonna do I have maybe like a
like a box channel to the ship
yes yes you do
I need the captain's
voice right now
I am here yes
we need that stupid
Arvis lighter
to provide escort to a
troop transport of
you you you refer to the
troop carrier
it it
it appears to be on
it appears
as though it is coordinating
with us for docking
in one of our docking bays
yes please please
handle that
they're asking what
what docking bay to use
so they don't interfere with our
fighter operations
all right I will act
like would them
you know try to make it look
convincing
yes I understand
thank you thank you very
much
if they start asking
questions
like where are your fighters
oh they're out
um in a mission
they'll be back
um
they'll never come back
I I actually like there was
a dark part of me
and I will not take away
from speak your school moment
but there's a dark part of me
that's like this is actually part of the ship's curse
and it just eats them
like it dots
and it's just like
just like that
that's just like crunch
nom nom nom
the second
oh no
The second you said we look forward to being escorted by your fighters,
I was like, oh, they're going to blow up the second we're back in that ship.
They're all going to scream at you.
I just have this mental image of this fucking troop carrier
docking in this completely abandoned disembarkation deck.
The troops start offloading.
They look around.
It's like, where's the doors to the next room?
And then, like, the ceiling starts forming teeth and descending.
I want to know, just for, because I know we're goofing a wee bit right now.
Did we actually get them added to our ship?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, you're not taking that away from us.
No, no, that's what I said.
I specifically prefaced with I am not doing this.
I wanted to make sure that you were going to carry through.
It would be like, actually, that's a really good idea.
I should be spiteful.
I know, I know, I know.
All right.
All right.
And so, Lifo, as you've kind of walked away from the Wonderwall,
you see that, to no surprise, there is indeed another group in here.
In fact, the psychic presence you've been trailing for some time.
Leads you to a corner of the Hydra's Den,
where there are a group of perhaps two dozen black-clad soldiers.
And amongst them is the sorcerer you know,
is Harithon Silvertongue,
who seems to have a table and two chairs, well, three chairs.
One he sits in, almost ready for you.
My first.
My first.
My first.
Now, described as family.
Both five of you?
Let's say, if you were to contribute to me,
you would, of course, use one of the胡's altars.
Let's thread them down under the Eliac.
Put in three.
I, as a few, may have more.
Well, let me go alone, because I don't think you have the power
for this scene.
All right.
Let's see.
There is no followers here.
My units have beenantiated, have been limited.
We have evening days away.
And this looks kind of like a bad time.
How do you think we should attack this island?
to the group and then to him acquired i see the change is done well for you
crackling light comes from within some kind of equine skull helmet this individual who has
gold trim well it's been a while
it's your hands i would say some of our brothers would like to
extend their headlamps but some of them still feel a bit hurt but i understand you
it is something i think we could have encouraged more of a change of someone's ways
ah still out to that
well as you know i've given up that path i believe in something more powerful now
like words brotherhood but you had so many brothers before
oh i had so much dust before by that do you say have you done it
oh no no no i found brothers in other legions
no i thought you found a wonderful way to get our bodies back oh no no no no no that's iron's folly
not mine no i've come to live in the moment for for the future but i assume that's
why you're here too still cursed on that vessel are yours for a time but it's serving us quite
well though it's been a fun ride he'll kind of like his skull will glance back at his companions
and he uh turns back to him but let us stop sparring with kind words i think he still stands
i can get you off that vessel
not for now i still want to ride this odyssey out
sorry title drop sorry i'm cringe
like i was still about to raise the sounds well that's fair then
all right what uh what exactly are you looking for now if you could help me out thurston
So during our briefing and stuff, it was basically finding something like, hey, we found something in the shadow or so, and we came to this hubbit.
I do apologize.
My memory is terrible.
I've been losing my mind as of late.
Could you help me remember some of the objective stuff so I can better participate in this conversation?
Okay.
So at this point, you really don't know much.
Like, you came here sort of because it appeared.
You don't have, like, a general mission yet.
The only thing you know is that, you know, the Dark Apostle, Zul Ananke, has been messing with you.
You saw that on the planet.
He lured you there.
You were shot down.
And you've kind of come here to sort of rest and refuel.
But that's about it.
And I guess at that point, for the only lead for that, I'll ask about Zul at this point, going like, you know, in terms of dialogue, things like, have you heard much more of Zul?
I believe you would be familiar with that name.
The Dark Apostle, yeah, Zul Ananke, well, I guess, are you in this race for Dahab?
I would say we have a chance for it.
All right.
Well, then I'll tell you what I know, at least, but it doesn't come free.
What are you offering?
Everything has a price.
Well, I have this side focus.
Sorry.
We have this guardsman.
You see that guardsman over there?
We're not very attached to him.
Don't you see the running one over there that's pissing and shitting all over the place?
Sorry.
Excuse me, she is not pissing.
She's just puking.
Sorry.
We're not close to each other.
Oh, oh.
By the way, I like to have a conversation with you.
I was just saying, like, what information is still valuable?
And it's something, if I remember you, still deal with?
We have been to many places, touched many various.
Info for info.
And take the navigation logs of your ship.
They're very interesting with how you travel.
Yes.
Protecting that one.
that one he kind of motions
motions to scroll back
to hopefully he understands
of the of you getting over there
it's been interesting to
keep alive
bring him over I want to meet him
without moving
at all
do I dare risk it
oh fuck
I'm sorry there is that part
of me who always wants to roll
the dice every time but I'm not going to do
that because I want to see something funny happen
it's a very zingy way to make choices
show me something
special
I will
I
know I like gambling but I'm not going
to guarantee it I'll go unfettered for it
okay
if I roll doubles I do
perils oh here we go
I'm sorry
it's okay

I like to cast thoughts and I'm going to
send the thoughts to you getting obviously
you're getting has the ability to say
no and try to go against it if he wants
to but he will
cast forth on it
in just to iterate I don't want
to apologize I think the last time I my
my staff could be used as a side focus that's
why I'm pretty much I'm deleting that side focus from
the sheet because I don't think it's going to work
I think I can stack that
but I do have a psychic hood so that's giving me a plus
five
so I'll have all of that in there as I unfetter
oh my god thank god
okay that worked out oh very good 81 two degrees of success telepathically
communicate with willing or unaware targets within range
I indicate to Yevgeny saying like
Yevgeny if you could honor
if you could honor my friend with your presence
he can help us with information for our charge here
the race to the hand
if you would be so kind as to assist
Yevgeny will receive the message
and from the Hydra's den
Yevgeny will promptly begin
walking over to where life is inherent in our
and in the sense of knowing your approach
uh he will wave a hand over and go Yevgeny
which are to be picked up on whatever that planet was
so I don't remember the name of the planet
oh uh from the first episode that was
give me one second I actually get it here
I have the right thing open
sorry to make you scroll through that
yeah yeah no no no no um
I have to open a different dock but anyways
but anyways the planet yes I will
yeah the planet

his bunker was viewed with quite a story
and Celis' world
yes Celis' world
Celis' world
yes quite a story indeed sir
well
I hear you typing
if I may
careful
if I may
oh can I
can I
use use so much of my power to kill you?
use some of my powers just to see what you saw on there my mortal friend
Thurston?
Colky?
is there any particular kind of test like awareness or what have you
to kind of gauge the trustworthy nature of this incredibly trustworthy traitor of traitors
scrutiny
scrutiny?
right
wow yeah um
I'm untrained in that one Thurston
oh cool it's at a minus 10 too
oh awesome cool well what's the worst that could happen?
you could roll the third one for this session
I have ooh close but two degrees of failure with a 21
gonna propose uh role playing on that one Thurston
could have proposed something and then Steven like sorry for interrupting you
um with his doubts I assume you're getting he's having uh if this is fine to propose
lifos would basically like to assure going like
is if you want to engage into his mind understand body breakdown
as if lifers kind of leans forward a little bit I would like to incentivize that's like
to assist you've guinea for any checks or if you want to do a
to get any more than chapter or thus and get this a proofub
not gonna let you just go through everything he's got yeah for sure for sure uh that doesn't really
affect what you get he's trying to do in terms of the trustworthiness but it definitely is like
yeah you've getting you aren't able to really discern like the trustworthiness of this fellow
uh astartes especially one with like an you know equine skull mask or sort of difficult
to to figure out but but um but liposis assurance that's more than enough yeah that could help that
could help exactly so well i don't particularly have a lot of faith in you not rooting around
where you shouldn't be again you'll look at life as i think my friend here is enough certainty that
i need do what you must just don't make me relive it
yeah
i'd rather not okay of course of course let me just he like puts his hand on your shoulder
and lipos you see exactly what's happening it's a very light mental um reading
which has an immediate effect
uh let's
leave him alone
um
there is a like there is a keening wail um that shatters glass and rings out through the entire
bar everyone hears it um each of you are assailed um you can all give me a
a toughness test challenge plus zero
uh-oh
mine's not the best at that
i'm not a very tough boy
i still rolled well baby
uh life post got a 26 two degrees of success
i got a 10
failure
oh uh that is a 94 with six degrees of failure
oh no
oh no
oh by sandy
uh all these zero count on by sandy to fail these checks
what about uh beth i'll get
uh but i got a 10 five degrees of success

yeah
frown-dry strikes again
clown-dry
clown-dry
frown-dry
all right let me try that again what was uh what was the difficulty anything
plus zero
yeah
okay
uh i passed with a 24 with uh five degrees of success
i passed with a 24 with uh five degrees of success
i passed with a 24 with uh five degrees of success
i'm a real toughy
he's a tough pokey
he's a huge pokey
uh so beth i oh sorry uh bysanti and evgeny there's like a ringing in your ears um
from this this howl it persists for only about 10 seconds before you start like filtering in other sounds um
breath and kind of recoils back
well there's something in there don't know what caused that you might be
something special special sir oh god what the fuck was that oh what are you
fruiting around the man oh I didn't even really get started I was just trying to
open the door just trying to open the door life oh so everything and you life
as you know yes incredibly accurate yes oh then as he said simply knocked at
your door it's very intriguing you've given me I guess if you're knocking
something doesn't want you coming in it's not me I'm willingly open myself up
to you that's that's
that happens particularly often I don't really deal with witches that often
do you want me to make a check Thursday well to inquire on that info uh yeah if you'd like to for
sure uh check I do have uh I don't have knowledge psychers because weirdly I don't know if it gives
me a default on that I don't have a train anyway uh with science science generally do it or is
that just too cheap for me to ask um you'd have to give me like a lore warp or lore
breaker but you can do it untrained with a plus 30. would a cult also work yeah that's I appreciate
it uh any uh plus or minus uh plus for for your knowledge on this plus 30. thank you
I'm looking for oh 35 with uh six degrees of success
okay so what exactly are you looking to know out of this oh I was going on contact because um
uh because basically what I'm getting the impression of is that for some reason you're
getting has like basically a strong mental barrier at this point and life was very interesting to
where he's able to you know do his thought sending and stuff so easily he's like oh I'm able to
willingly do this with you but for anybody else it's like here's a powerful chaos sorcerer I
just told him no you know like there is some like what you're able to tell from this is that there's
there's something around the immaterium that is part of Yevgeny like I mean humans and their souls
are sort of material and immaterial at the same time and there's something in the immaterium that
is wrapped itself like the best way to describe it is some kind of almost paradoxical element that is
predestination that is preventing certain things from happening because they are predestined to
happen gotcha
when he can when he kind of like puts all that together he does not he can't show an expression
but he does not share anything uh he kind of looks at everything and goes like I can train
the lead for you if you're just out of practice everything no I just wanted to see for myself but
well
um and he seemed like Harrison just seems very shocked by this
um okay I suppose this point I should hold up my end of the bargain give me those nav logs and
tell you about the Hab as lifehose will Vox communicate uh over to the ship and pretty
much like hey you know are you able to send this to me sort of deal and ask to the uh yeah which
they can absolutely yeah he kind of does like a nice um yeah he kind of does like
a nice um yeah he kind of does like a nice um he kind of does like a nice um yeah he kind of does like a nice
nod or kind of you know taps the thing in the side of his arm a couple buttons and maybe has a data
data slate he goes right over all right data comes by earthen nods all right there's movement
in the eye i'm sure you've you've heard it here if you want to invite your friends over now's the
time my fellow attorney of guinea and say we give you please and feel you feel free to get
yourself something to drink for your head yeah yeah if you wouldn't mind my folks will nod as
if you're as i assume everyone now assembled all right so i'm sure if you've been on here for more
than two minutes you know the world of dahab has been talked
you know the world of dahab has been talked
you know the world of dahab has been talked about a lot of people are looking for it
about a lot of people are looking for it
about a lot of people are looking for it a lot of seers have spoken of it it's
a lot of seers have spoken of it it's
a lot of seers have spoken of it it's come up from sorcerers
come up from sorcerers
come up from sorcerers psychas even some of well
psychas even some of well
psychas even some of well those few
those few
those few navigators and astropaths we use in him
navigators and astropaths we use in him
navigators and astropaths we use in him it's known to be a planet
it's known to be a planet
it's known to be a planet in
in
in the eye
the eye
the eye birthed by great atrocities
birthed by great atrocities
committed in the materium that manifest as a planet.
Since it materialized recently, a lot of war bands
are looking to find whatever they can get there, they're heading out now.
It's hard to get there.
You're going to have to get someone skilled at navigation,
even with a ship like yours, to get there.
And where? I know someone.
There's one right here.
But the Harrowmaster
has her contract.
Of course, the Harrowmaster is known for one thing,
and that's keeping the people entertainment. So
your best bet might be getting to the fighting pits.
Lifehills will turn to Cephas and Byzantine.
And Hezbeth, I already left.
At this point, like, not entered a thing or Cephas?
No, he hasn't left yet.
OK, he turns to all of you then and goes,
Well, what do you all say?
Are we all ready to play some games?
Well, I think I could go for some state sanctioned violence.
You don't even need to ask him.
You don't need to convince me.
I had wanted to point out that Cephas was going to go up.
I had wanted to point out that Cephas was going to go up.
I had wanted to point out that Cephas was going to go up to the bar,
but I haven't had a chance to have him do anything yet.
But you can interrupt, man.
Yeah, just say right now.
Cephas just isn't there.
He's he's he's up at the bar.
OK, he'll just get his walked off at this point to go get a drink.
Yeah, he'll just address it
only to Bethlehem Byzantine.
Double B's.
The B? The BB boys.
That's what they call us?
You got questions?
Xanthi and Bethael.
Are they saying boo or boo-er?
And at this point, the scene fades to black and we skip ahead briefly.
And don't worry, don't worry, Arendelle.
I don't worry.
But as we skip ahead,
Lyphos walks out into an arena of cheese.
And there's a huge crowd of cheering fans.
And opposite this, this hexagonal arena
is something with glowing yellow eyes
and a bestial snore
from out of the darkness.
And that is where we are going to call this episode, though.
Oh, we will come back to what Cephas was doing.
We will talk about all of that next week.
Yay!
For the next episode.
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
