Ah, ok; makes more sence to me like that

Dear Mr. Grim,

Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on inheriting House Hidean’s Warrant of Trade. After the terrible accident befalling Richard Hidean and his 14 successors in the following weeks, I had all but given up hope that the house would carry on. But then seemly out of the air itself, you appeared. Your timing given the situation is simply perfect, perhaps to prefect, but it is neither my duty nor my privilege to question such things. My duty here is merely assist and their by insure that your inheritance of the warrant of trade is a smooth one. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Henry McGarth, Caretraker of the Hidean’s Warrant of Trade. It has been my family’s proud duty to service the Hidean Household in this regard for generations, and is protected by the very document you are inheriting. May you prove to be as great of man as you father.
Proceeding to the business at hand, the Frigate you recently acquired has arrived safely in dock here at Port Warder. It is currently undergoing refitting, under the work contract you placed with a local crew. I have been informed that work is proceeding according to schedule, and should be completed before you arrive. In the future, I would appreciate it if I was at least informed of such transactions. Although all the rites of ownerships and acquisition appear to have been filed correctly, it is still my job and duty to attend to such matters. I am sure you father told you at least as much.
As for the crew, I have been assured that the servitors for the ship would arrive within a week of this transmission. The attendant delivering the message made it a point to convey that Magos Salvar says “We are now even”. I do not know about what this message may regard, but it seemed appropriate to include it in this transmission. As for the officer positions, I have made posted listings for various positions and their commissions. Unfortunately, due the currently declined state of the House, I was not able to post the commissions for much.
It is my understanding that this message will only reach you shortly before you leave for port Warder, but rest assured that I continue to oversee the preparations for your departure.

Sincerely, Henry McGarth

This was typed up rather quickly during one of my breaks so forgive any typos.

Good Work on the nerrative Timeless please feel free to use the NPC Astropath as you see fit I am updating him but you should have enough material to integrate him at some point talk to you later on vent.

As said, pretty much any day but Thursday I can make now, or move work around so I can.

I will be able to adapt my schedule, firday is okay but as I warned, I will be unavailable once in a while.

As some of you might know, a meeting of mine had been moved to late Tuesday, but since then I was able to get them to change it back to the old time. This will allow me to continue to do the game on Tuesdays night, and so I will be keeping the game at the same time and day for the moment. To everyone in the game, please email me a list of the advances you will be taking no later than Saturday evening. To those of you who have not emailed me or linked me to your character please do so by this deadline as well. Also, if your character has any personal goals that you would like to see in the game, please email me them or post them here.

Please, send me your character soon. Thanks.

You received my sheet right?

Hello Borther,

Some time as passed since my last transmission, but much as transpired on my side since. As i am writting this I am still awaiting some reports so my tale may be incomplete.

Was it not with great joy that I discovered, the ship to which I had been assigned a Flachion Light cruiser wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Falchion_Escort often reclassed as a frigate. The crew of the "ignorance is Bliss", as she is currently named in absentia of a better nomination from the captain, is mostly made by standard quality servitor. I must admit that I am greatly shocked to see that you where right. The Empire does us servitor extensivelyt like on Forge Napoleonite but I have seen a few Skitarii during my stay at Port Wander as you described them... They where very blessed by the Omisshua logic whish as greatly ppleased me. I guess that Forge napoleonite must have made an error eons past when they decided to use all violent offenders as Skitarri. I beleive a strict selection of dedicated crak elite would be much more suffisent. My attempt at bringing this to the Capitain as of not fallen short.

Let me talk a bit about the more important members of my group. The Rogue trader seams to be somewhat of an odd ball for Rogue Trader standards, instead fo a flamboyant swashbuckler or a fearless conqueror, I seam to have fallen on a somewhat more subtile and somber Capitain. After a very short and formal introduction, he proceeded to send us out in the expense at the leisure fo the 1st mate and then retired to is quarter from which we did not see him for many a days. I have asked the current Mediace Primaris to insure is good healt but the good man as declined sitting the Rogue Trader as just ***** by Rogue Trader standards. The rest of the party consist of the usual gun for hire of dubious PDF origin or maybe even a real IG training, a hearty chap with a quick tongue I beleive.

It also seams that our estimed Rogue Trader as been able to aquire the support of an Adeptus Astartes squad lead by a somber Librarian of the Blood Raven. If my original informatio ngatherign prouves right we shall often confront on the ownership of the encountered technologies since the Blood Raven are reputed for the near heretek view that the technologies should be thiers to protect and not the rightful hiers fo the Omishua us the tech-priest.

Was it not a few days within our warp travel that well found a most strang thing. What looked like a Ramaless Class fort was stuck in the warp.After some hasty discussion (the Rogue trader wanting nothign to do with it, an Heretek I tell you so muck knowledge, or maybe just a coward...) we decided at my great pleasure to board and claim it. Well it did not go as planed, once inside the Fort, we coudl indid confirm it's content but the treasure was barred from us when some foul xenos fell on us, we battle with it and managed to bring it down but it's accolite must have felt or been informe of is demise because as soon as he died, axeno ship was seen leave the fort and the autodestruction sequence initiated. So short was our time we could not bring back anything of interest and I must admit I lost a good 1/3 of my servitor retinue. I will have to requisition new armements and cadavers when we have soem more time...

As the station reached a crititcal point, it created some sort of Warp rift or vortex, It was decided to do an emergency translation to real space... I must interupt my transmission now. I will send you another one shortly, the geller field are fluxtuating...

Do we have a go for tomorrow?

Yes, I plan to continue part 2 of this arch "The Crystals of Silence" tomorrow. If you can, I would like you to set up the server again tomorrow. Thanks. Also, if you plan to continue to chronicle the game, let me know as I would like to award you some extra XP for doing so.

- Hell..

- ..lloo..

- .. passing through?" Sound of something hitting flesh, "Work damnit astropath!, can't get a good reception out here..."

[/static]

Hello Brother,

I am so sorry, I had to cut short my last transmission, I hope this one finds you within uptimum parameters. You may be astonished to know that we indeed survived the emergency transfer to space! You will not beleive us, I think we have found a heaven or a Eldar Maiden World. There seams to be a strange psychoactive cristall here preventing the bad influence of the warp from taking effect and even greater I have right now in my hands a very book written by Mar's Forge master [ Forbidden] dated somewhere around [Forbidden], but I am going a head of my self again, let me begin from the geller field fluctuation again.

As you may remember, I had to interrrupt my last transmission when we where about to makes an emergency translation into real space after what appeared like an old space station stuck in the warp had exploded and created somekind of doom vortex within the warp.The Navigator had judisciously decided too; my post-analysis estimated if we had indeed decided to enter the vortex, we may very well have ended dead or even worsth in a Galaxy Far Far away...

We where now confronted with a strange view, nothing was before us, complete and uther void. Not a simple star or celestial light, only the Blood Raven Librarian was able to sence a psychic presence but at the same time he felt only a soothing presence of the Warp as if no warp spawn or predator where in the area. After a few week of emergency repaire, we where able if not to get the sensors, at least to get life support and void propulsion back. We then decided to use a shuttle as a scout and move our ship forward to investigate the source of the psychich anomaly.

We discovered after a few day of sailling the void a trio of planet orbiting a single star. I must admit at that point to have maybe escalated the risk of crew corruption a bit to high, my fear was that we had fallen close to the fabled Siren Star but in vain, the star proved to be completely normal to my initial readings.

From the trio of planet we currently only have visited the middle one, the one from which estimed Librarian had detected the psychic presence. We discovered :

1- a feudal society orbiting around what looks like a psyker/knight cast

2 - our initial reading have found the population to be very prone to the psyker mutation

3- there seam to be a council outside of the feudal system of 10 powerful psykers/knight and of a few other very power psykers occupying various niche in the society.

4 - This society uses a psy-active cristal as the basis of their society, this crystal can be reshapped at will by any psyker touching it.

During our visit, I was witness to two strange facts.

A - We meet a peculiar persona "Misterious E, it had a house outside of the main city and away from the others. This pne must have been outside the feudal system as everyone seam to refer to her/him/it with respect. It also displayed very powerful psyker powers and I must admit that lead to the 2nd thing... [Analyising] ? Deamon:Psyker:Xenos? unable to reahc a conclusion futher investigation required.

B - I beleive the Blood Raven Librarian to be an Heretik, keep this between yoi and me for now, but under the guidance of the "Misterious Ermite" the Librarian shapped and bounded with the crystall for many hours. During that time, I saw the Ermite, transfrom a tree with it's leaves and insect into a perfect crystall statue by a simple touch. He as then able to reproduce our bolt from a boltgun by simply touching one and providing the Battle Brother Librarian with a full chargers of the crystalline amo...

I am very concerned, this mysterious Ermite seams to have emough power to subdue the Librarian and to instantaniously transform living matther into this psycho-active crystal. I am currently studying a container of the tree it transformed. Never have I seen such perfection and details in a sculpture... if only it where one.

Questions:

- What will be the effect of the crystall, when we leave this quiet spot in the warp?

- Our we under danger from this local Ermite and society? is there a grave moral threat to the crew?

- What about the two other planetary bodies? We may be abel to find left voers from other RogueTraders on those...

- What is the real power behind this society? Is it the Ermite? or is it a contained threath?

And now for the main information, we have found a Mechanicus site on this planet, It predates the [censured] it self. This book I hinted about is [xx,xxx] years old, about at the time of the foundation of [Censured]. Such relics of the founding of [CENSURED] and the very 1st discovery made by our order under the crust of [censured]. I have been petitioning and pressuring the command staff and any one I could into releasing to our crew the rights to visit the site but I am gettign very annoyed at this backward planet of psyker and greatly regreating not having packed with me some anti-psyker Servitors. If my understanding is right this maybe a STC site or at least old enought to contain knogledge on their where abouts.

I must live you, the Rogue Trader, is agin using is "camélon" power to try and seek on me... If he coudl only realise I am also the master of securtiy on is ship as all vox, camera, motion sensor, etc are constanlty feeding me with data... but oen must do what must be done... so I will leave you at that while I try to remember what acting startled should look like...

ventrilo Server will be up at 7h Eastern Canada - 6ish for you guys.

it's up

Here is the groups ship. The Serpent of the Void.

[Engineerium of the Void Serpent]

[mood]The room is very badly illuminated, the doors to the Enginseer Prime quarters open with an ishhh, Felix the Enginseer Prime enters with a decided stroll, held in one hand is a metal skull, in the other a huge archeotech weapon of unknown type.[mood/]

With reverance he lays the weapon in a statis casket to be studied and revered, then walks to a table and with a decisive movement secures the metalic skull within a vice:

- "You will reveal to me your secret ABOMINATION!" says the infuriated tech-preist while slaming a table to bits with is huge and terrifyng looking manipulator merchandrite, "You have defiled an holy Land raider! You have defiled an holy archeotech site of the Adeptus Mechanicus! You will reveal to me your faults and weakness! I will not stand for such corruption!!"

In the room it self, the various adept startled by a display of emotion from the Enginseer Prime, such a powerfull one at that. Even the servitor seams to recoil from is fury.

- "To witness the defilment of a most Holy Starbase was too much, but to witness those Man of Iron, puppets, mear tools corrupting a mighty titan or a land raider! You will give me your secret!" Says he, as around him the various servitor specialised in reverse Enginseering and minute manipulation advance towards the table. "Tell me how to destroy you all! What is it? A weakness in logic virus protection? A Centralised processing system? I know you are abominations, the Omnissiha would not whistand such abomination without gving us a way to fight them!"

Outside the halls of the Engineerium, the shouts of frustration and roar of anger left more then one small repaire request delayed as no one dared to challenge the Enginseer Prime at that moment.

A few hundred yard away, Otto master surgoen and saviors of soul and Yard master of arms and men where playing Emperor Tarrot while gambling on where it would be the most dangerous to be right now... The Engineerium, the Blood Raven chambers where the greaving and grudge prayers to avenge the 4 fallen battle brothers of that day or on the surface of the planet:

- "You know maybe if we had listen to that 5th memeber of the order instead of having the Tech-Priest and our Librarian piss him off, we may have fared a bit better in there..." said the missionary.

- "Well, he did not seam to enerved at the private meeting we had", said the Archmilitant.

- "You talked to him after the confrontation at the council of the 10?"

- "Well the Rogue Trader did, and they had a very civil conversation at that, even when Lord Grim asked about is possible Space Marine origins he simple waved the question away instead of getting angry like at the council... I guess he either doesn't like Blood Raven, Adeptus Weirdos or Self pretentious frak-holes..."

- "You better be careful, Space marines have very good ears..." said the Missonary as they both chuckled. " Well I thik they both had their lesson at speaking out of turn, the Rogue Trader sharp tongue was pretty direct."

- "If you want my opinion, we could have spaced both of them at that point... that Enginseer Prime, tried again this morning to have me present him 'willing' subject for is Skitarri try out."

- "I have had the chance of seeying real Skitarri once, mighty force they where but very dire and dangerous looking if you want my opinion, they had that cold logic and deadlyness around them, but nice people all the same, just a bit hung on the whoel Omnissiha thing..." as the Missionary brushed is robes " bu the way, do we have more information on the bombs launched? Where they an exterminatus payload?"

-"We still don't know, with our sensors down, we can't see and anywya the civilation was pretty backward so they don't have a way to reach us, except for that 10th guy who coudl teleport people but I have sentry at evert possible corner."

-"Why?"

-"Well we kinda triggered exterminatus on their world or at the very least released an army of Man of Iron as the Tech-Priest called them. So those psyker may want to retaliate..." and Yard laid down is card "Anyway Emperor and the Primarch, I win."

- "Pfff, thats impossible...", said the missionary, "You win every fraking time... I think I will always remember the fear I had when that land raider tried to run us down and by the Emperor those god hammer lazer canon..."

Hi, sorry for "butting" in to the convorsation, but i was sorta looking in to rouge trader (im normally a D and D player) and i was wondering if you could give me any helpfull tips on how to play.

There are plenty of character creations tools too available on the forum itself , you can find tons of resources at DarkReign.com. Can you take this to another thread please? This thread is for our campaing thank you!
