We returned to the Pax Behemoth and received a message from the inquisition. They had a rumour that Sergeant Forden was on an imperial station in orbit of the gas giant Pry called 41 Pry. The mission was to take the package in cargo hold 1 to 41 Pry, capture and interrogate Forden (not killed). We were to determine the whereabouts of the book and retrieve it. The package turned out to be a small starship.

We took the ship to 41 Pry. The journey took 4 weeks. We docked and spoke to the portmaster Varnius. He looked dodgy. He warned us not to go to the aft commons which was run by the black coat brigade. Orday made contact with a member of the underworld. I looked round the marketplace. There were a number of stalls selling illegal drugs. Somee of the weapon stalls had xenos weapons which looked to be dark eldar, Tau and ork.

Orday was taken to some underworld headquarters. He met Sylvanas Deatrix. Forden was affiliated with the black coats. They have been dealing with the dark eldar. She would tell the location of Forden and pay a 5000 throne reward if Orday agreed to kill Loctas Cane, the leader of the black coats.

We went to the aft commons. Orday and Sangius scouted out the black coat cantina. In the bar were 6 dark eldar. They kept watch for an hour until the eldar left. Orday and Sangius followed them. They went to the market place called smugglers paradise, and met a trader who seemed to be selling them slaves.

Sangius booked a room in the low cost accommodation. Orday went back to the cantina to get better rooms. He flushed Foren out from the back then turned the room down.

We went back to the ship to form a plan. Drakar would create a distraction bomb to set off in the room Sangius rented. Myself and Severus located the power feed to the bar, and when the bomb exploded I melted through the cable.

We all then rushed the bar. There were 2 dark eldar in the bar. I fried one in a firestorm. Drakar killed the other with a burst of plasma, but a 3rd appeared from behind some curtains. Several of the humans also returned fire. Drakar charged into the room. Severus killed the last eldar with a burst of bolt rounds. A couple of warp hounds materialised and attacked myself and Drakar. Drakar killed his with his power sword. Severus hit the one by me with his chain axe, causing a flesh wound. I summoned a psi sword and sliced it in half. We killed the remaining humans.

Behind the curtain was a heavy door. I focused my will on it and began to melt through it. As I did so, half a dozen dark eldar entered the bar behind us. Their leader fired at Sangius, who dodged, then charged Drakar. Draker struck him with his power weapons, killing him instantly. I killed to others with a firestorm. The rest opened fire on me with their automatic needle weapons, but failed to hit me with even a single round. Drakar killed another then I incinerated the rest with another firestorm.

I then returned to focusing my will on the door, melting it away after a few seconds. Beyond the door was a 5 metre corridor leading to another door. I concentrated my will on it and started melting through. When the door melted, Drakar ran down the corridor, triggering a trap which sprayed acid. He managed to dodge the spray, as did Severus who was following him. I melted the devices allowing the rest of us to pass safely.

Severus detected some lifeforms moving away below us on his auspex. Drakar and Sangius found a tunnel and tried crawling through it. The rest of us tried following with Severus tracking them with his auspex. They were obviously running to an airlock. I ran ahead and arrived as they were cycling the airlock. I melted a hole in the airlock window so the safety interlock would not open the outer door.

Drakar and Orday got stuck in the tunnel and had to back out. Sangius arrived at the airlock as the window melted. I drew the warp around myself creating a frightful aura. Sangius and Forden cowered in terror. Cane's mind dribbled out of his ears as his brain shut down. The dark eldar was unaffected and fired at me, though I dodged. I then melted his head with a shot from my Ultimo meltagun. The others finally arrived and we took Forden into custody. Orday took Cane to his contact and got the 5000 reward.

Severus interrogated Forden. The book was on the 13th planet of the Threnos zone. We recruited an astropath to send a message to the inquisitor to report on our progress.

We set off to the Threnos zone. We travelled through the warp for a few days. Drakar was piloting when he saw something incoming. He took evasive action and avoided it. Severus jumped into the sensor console and scanned the area, detecting a spacial distortion the size of our ship nearby. Drakar accelerated away as Orday and Sangius opened fire on it. Sangius hit. It returned fire but Dragar took avoiding action. Orday and Sangius fired again but missed. Drakar failed to avoid one of the missiles in their next salvo, which destroyed one of our missile launchers. We were then hit by another salvo which destroyed one of the missile armouries and set fire to the rear of the ship. Drakar finally managed to fly out of its range and I got the fire extinguished with Severus's help.

We dropped out of warp and I went outside to inspect and film the dammage. It looked pretty bad to me and Severus confirmed it would take 5 days to repair all the damage. We decided we could not afford to delay and would carry on to Threnos.

When we came out of warp there was some satallites transmitting imperium songs. Severus detected and decoded a carrier signal which said 'Mandrigore'. Severus was unable to work out how to transmit back so I had to do it for him. Drakar then flew us to the 13th planet.

We told them we were here for repairs and were directed to land 2 clicks from the base. They sent 4 people to talkwith us. Orday degotiated with them. They quoted 15000 thrones for the repairs and Orday said we would think about it.

During the day Draakar dismantled half a dozen missiles to make a huge bomb. In the evening we crept up to the base. Orday carried the bomb and planted it next to the generator. I then melted a hole through the plasticrete wall into the base and Sangius took out the one sentry we could see.

We entered the base and crept towards the nearby admin room. Orday threw in a flash grenade, stunning the occupants and we rushed in.

Severus interrogated one of the occupants. He said the book was with Mandrigore at the other base. Mandrigore is a chaos space marine. We killed all the heretics in the room. I went to the control room with Severus and Sangius, and created a firestorm inside, killing everyone. We then destroyed all the control consoles. Orday went to collect the bomb. I summoned a firestorm onto 2 guards outside then we all ran to the shuttle which was outside on a launchpad. Severus could not unlock the shuttle so I had to pick the lock with my melta gun. We then took off in the shuttle. A group had come out of the barracks and were setting up some heavy weapons. Sangius shot and killed one asw we made our escape.

We flew back to our spaceship, then took it towards the other base. We landed 5 clicks from the base and all transferred back to the shuttle to fly to within a click before making the final approach on foot. Outside the base was a strange mesmeric ship. Drakar started walking towards it, then he dropped his multi laser and started running. I could see the ship was corrupted by the warp and outside were a couple of creatures that were probably demons. While I kept watch, the others started chasing after Drakar. They failed to catch him up, but sangius started singing (badly) the emperors song, which seemed to snap Drakar out of whatever was effecting him.

The base was well guarded. We chose a point to gain entry which gave us maximum cover. I started melting through the wall when two guards approached. They spotted Sangius who instantly shot one in the head but missed the other. The other started running and shouting into his comm bead. Sangius killed him with another shot before he could run far.

Two gun servitors approached. Severus managed to take control of one and commanded it to shoot the other. I continued focusing on the wall while the others fired on the servitor. The servitor was surrounded by a diffraction field which absorbed their fire. I melted through the wall. Inside the room was some demons, guards and a chaos space marine. Everyone opened fire on the marine, scoring several hits. I tried to call up a firestorm inside the room but the room was shielded against psychic powers. The chaos marine fired back with his bolt gun, hitting Drakar, and the demons attacked us with their claws.

The fight continued, with one of the demons being killed by Drakar. Orday was seriously wounded by a shot from the chaos marine and I had to heal him. The fight continued and Orday ran into the room after a human that had grabbed the book we wanted. Four humans in the room wielding power swords surrounded Orday. Orday grabbed the guy with the book and threatened to kill him if the others did not back off. Drakar attacked the chaos marine in hand to hand. Severus killed some of the demons and I put my psychic sword through the chaos marines back, critically wounding it.

Drakar finally landed the killing blow on the chaos marine as it was reeling from my blow.

I then turned my attention on the servitor that was firing on us and called down a firestorm, blasting it from the sky. The final humans surrendered, and we executed all but the unarmed guy with the book, who we took prisoner. We rigged the bomb to destroy the room and then returned to our ship and headed back to Scintilla. As we left we saw a chaos battleship breaking orbit and heading out into deep space.
