Hey

Topic's pretty simple this time around- no walls of text

How would you go about it? or any other radical faction for that matter.

I plan on having the Inquisitor taking him to a graveyard to chat, pointing that Death is the cowards way out- and giving up your life for the Emperor is the easy way out- a simple solution that really won't resolve anything. Such payment is more befitting the Ruinous Powers.

No, you must perserve and fight- and if there's anything you ought to give up, it should be even more precious.

I am a bit at a loss of how to proceed from there though: its a pretty **** big secret!

There's going to be about a month of downtime while the other acolyte recover from horrendous wounds- so enough for a number of lessons in the creed.

Any ideas or stories of how you've managed to introduce a rather extreme radical ideaology into your groups?

I wouldn't lay it on as thickly straight away.

The graveyard and chat is good but I would talk about all the heroes of the Imperium in the graveyard. Talk about how they gave their lives that the xenos and the heretic might not take a step forward. Talk about how good this is. It is a great thing to give your life for the Emperor. But just dieing is easy. Anyone can go and die and gain nothing. Only a death that achieves something is truly great.

And then that it is greater still to give more and win not just stalemates but victories. Talk about how some are called to give more than their lives. Some must give their very souls that the Imperium does not fall. Build up some inspirational stories. Perhaps this is not just any graveyard but a graveyard where Oblationists are 'buried' when they give up their souls. After all once they take on the power they are damned in their own eyes. This place could be where they are laid to rest even as their souless bodies go out and fight.

And gain victory..

I think you can also speak about hypocrisy; how I see oblationists is that they are conscious that chaos corrupts, but make the choice of using its power until they go too far and someone of their faction decides to clean up the mess. So at a later point, when the idea of using chaos has been put in place, you could use the fact that still, in comparison to many other factions (I.E. Xanthites), you know that you're damned, and that's a choice to make for a better result, but you're honest enough to accept the consequences and the following death.
