I've been greatly enjoying Shadowbrand's thread, so I'm starting something similar. I'll be acting as DM. We'll need the following actors:

Inquisitor.
Various members of his retinue; choose your roles wisely. I will be playing the role of interrogator and psyker.

Heretical cult leader. I'll feed this one visions from the dark gods via PM.
His henchmen.

Various civilians and bystanders.

One we get some players here I'll start the fun.

**starbomber109**

Edit: And I am in, if that wasn't clear before

sorry

You know, right after I saw this I thought I might make one of these threads (Orks roleplay?

Naw, I think that might get boring after a while "WAAAAGH lets kill dis tribe!" "WAAAAGH lets kill these 'umies!" "WAAAGH Lets kill dese ova 'umies!" ect.)

What kind of inquisitor btw? A Witch hunter or a Daemon hunter?

**Owain**

The actor's choice. I'm depending on the characters and backstories you choose to shape the story.

**Orkeosaurus**

My name is Inquisitor Furious. I'm a Pantera's Box you do not want to open.

My lord has me on probation for excessive Exterminatus, and for throwing some toast at his head. I once became so angry I lifted up an entire Land Raider, or at least that's the story that's circulating.

My retinue does all of my work, because I get too frustrated with petty things.

**Orkeosaurus**

(Feel free to come up with a different Inquisitor instead, I'm just throwing out ideas.

)

**Owain**

If nobody else wants to be Inquisitor, that's you and yours.

**SagesStone**

I wouldn't mind being an Inquisitor in this, but it looks like I just missed the chance.

**Orkeosaurus**

Nah, take it.

**Owain**

So that makes... three players so far. I'll probably cut the Chaos roles and run this in a similar manner to DnD.

**Arheiner**

I'll take a role on either side, don't mind which.

**Emperors Faithful**

Leuitenant Hazzard of the Nivirian 101st.

A sharp young fellow who is sick and tired of being assigned to this particular commissar. Who, as has been mentioned, hardly does anything for himself. There have been many degrading moments in his service, such as when Inquisitor Furious demanded that he make him a cup of tea (and a scone). When Hazzard delegated the order to one of his subordinates Furious demanded that HE make it, or else he would declare exterminatus on his planet. After being served the tea, Furious complained that it was too milky. As it so happens, the Niverians pride themselves on tea and other beverages, so this was a grave insult.

The ship was quiet. It didn't really FEEL like they were hurtling through the Warp...surrounded by un-named horrors. Hazzard was uneasy, but he didn't mind getting the chance to rest, working for an Inquisitor lost it's Novelty after constanly running menial errands. Himself. He wasn't even allowed to order his own men to do it.
Private Donut leaned through the doorway.
"Sir, he's after you again."
Hazzard moaned. "Oh, feth it. What is it this time? Does he want me to give him a foot massage?" he asked sarcastically.
Falkin shifted uneasily. "Well actually..."

EDIT: Change Pvt Falkin to Pvt Donut. (Falkin never popped up again)

**Orkeosaurus**

"Why are my feet so fething sore!" Inquisitor Furious bellowed at his servo-skull.

"Beep beep boop", the servo skull replied.

"If that lazy piece of gak doesn't start aiding my relaxation in the next five seconds I swear to Terra..."

**Emperors Faithful**

This was it, Hazzard thought to himself. He was going to put a lasround through that gakkers head. He didn't care if they strung him up of for treachery. He was going to do it.

...But wait. What about Niveria? Would they destroy it just becuase of him? No. Furious wasn't THAT insane...was he? Hazzard couldn't risk it. Sighing, he made his way to the Inquisitorial Quarters.

A blade whipped out to caress his throat. A inch further and he would have had a new ventilation system. He didn't even flinch. This happened every time.
"Hey Assassin." He muttered.
"Hey yourself." said the voice from the shadows. "Where are you going?"
"Where does it look like I'm going?" Hazzard snapped. "You ask that question everytime and I always say the same thing. To see his lordship Furious."
"Sorry." Said the assassin. "It's my first shift on this route."
"Yeah well..." Hazzard paused "Wait. There are more of you?"
"Um...oops. Said too much." The assassin changed the topic. "Why you going there?"
Hazzard scowled. "His lordship want's a foot massage."
The assassin snickered "heh, heh. Wait, Seriously?"
Hazzard nodded.

Suddenly the alarms blared. The captains voice sounded over the speakers.

+++We have arrived at our destination, Pyranda IV. This area is still contested so we'll be moving towards the far side. Raven's Gate is the only inctact friendly port. Please report to the deck for disembarkation.++

A heavenly choir sang in Hazzards head. Truly the Emperor was with him today. Saved by the bell.

**Owain**

OOC:Apparently we're on Pyranda IV and it's under seige. Not what the GM had in mind, but we'll run with it.

Ieron. His accent can be traced to the remote death world of Actryx while his near-white eyes and a distinct ozone tang in the air mark him as a powerful psyker. His simple robes are reinforced in places by ceramite plating and inscribed with hexagrammic wards.

His brow furrows in concentration. "This... is not your average rebellion. These renegades seem to be under a malign influence." He turns to the inquisitor. "My lord, I would suggest that we make our descent immediately. Should we get closer I may be able to pinpoint the disturbance."

OOC: Thus far I'm thinking of making this adventure last a very long time. However, if someone thinks it's getting long let me know and I can expedite the conclusion.

**SagesStone**

Nah, Orkeo you already have a character down, I'll wait for the next time. For now I guess I could be one of the henchmen I'll just have to make up my mind on what one

Edit: Currently undecided between a talking Servo Skull made from an old Inquisitor, an Inquisitor in training or a Combat Servitor called Jack.

**Emperors Faithful**

OOC: Simple Jack could BE the inquisitor-in-training!
Sorry to hijack the thread there, mate. I thought it was about time the story got moving. What did you have in mind instead?

**SagesStone**

Alright I decided on my character; an Enginseer who is capable of having their head detach and act like a servo skull but also rejoin back to the body that will be maintained by a machine spirit while the head is detached. I guess the character would be called n0t_u to keep things simple. Also the character will be part of Inquisitor Furious' group.

Kind of all three things I couldn't decide on mixed together

**Owain**

OOC: Matters not, EF. I actually like your idea much more. n0t_u, I'd kinda prefer that you keep your character more plausible and give him a name.

**Emperors Faithful**

No-2-De-2?

**SagesStone**

Alright then.
I'll go with the first idea, the servo skull made from an old Inquisitor Lord.
To get away with not having to come up with a full name I'll just say that only their last name is known, Torquemada.

Basically it's just a Servo skull, but because of his rank before dieing and being changed into a Servo Skull the character has one of the Jokaero weapons he had while he was still alive. One of his eyes was replaced by a mechanical one that can shoot lasers. Like Yarrick, but a little more effective than a Laspistol as it's made by the Jokaero instead of the Imperium. Not as effective as a Boltpistol though, but stronger than a Lasgun. I would have said Plasma, but I think that might be a bit too much, and with the possibility of overheating, it probably wouldn't have made any sense at all as it would have probably just killed him. The laser eye can be used to fuse metal together (So Orkeo gets the No-2-De-2, which was a cool idea

)

EDIT: If this one isn't very good then help me make a better one

**Emperors Faithful**

Lieutenant Hazzard could hear the Inquisitor bawling over the vox. What exactly he was shouting about Hazzard couldn't make out. Something about 'heretical cleansing' and 'toe-cream'.

All he cared about was getting his men ready for the drop. And in a warzone like this, he wasn't too happy about that either. What the gak Furious wanted with a hell-hole like Pyranda IV Hazzard could only guess at.

He readied his bolt pistol, cleaned his chain-sabre. He looked himself up and down in the mirror. Young, clean-shaven, dashing even with that devil-may-care look about him. He was ready to lead the men, he only hoped that the facade of confidence would last. Unbeknownest to him, another pair of eyes studied him as well. Much more appreciatively to...

Hazzard couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. He scanned the room furtively. Nope, no way an assasin could be hiding in this small cabin. Was there? Hazzard tried to ignore the sense of unease. There was never a good feeling about carrying out an inquisitorial mission, but this foreboding was slightly worse than the rest. What was it that is making me so jumpy, wondered Hazzard? Oh well, time to meet the rest. He hadn't often had the chance to get a good look at the others, mabye now he should try to remember their names...

**SagesStone**

A Servo-Skull tumbled out of a nearby air vent. "Damnatio!" it swore as it bounced off the ground, apparently it hadn't expected the vent cover to give way. Suddenly aware of it's surrondings it looked around the room and noticed Hazzard. "Ah good.. I thought I might have run into one of Furious' henchmen, Servo skulls are not back scratchers" said the Servo Skull.

**Emperors Faithful**

Hazzard didn't know what was more disturbing, that he had been perved on by someone. Or that that someone was a servo-skull.

"Um...uh...Hi?" Hazzard Stammered.
"Are you alright, good sir?" The Servo-skull inquired.
"Ummm...Fine?" Replied Hazzard.
"Good, now don't let his Lordship know I'm here. I was not designed as a headlamp or a back-scratcher." The servo-skull shuddered.
Hazzard remembered his close encounter of having to give a foot massage, and shook himself to rid those thoughts. "Dead or alive, wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy."
"Very well then, it seems we have come to an understanding." The Servo-skull sighed. "I wasn't always a pet of a Furious' you know. A long time ago..."

**SagesStone**

"I used to be an Inquisitor Lord myself. Torquemada was my name, I was from the Ordos Hereticus. However now Furious has taken a liking to the nick name he made for me, No-2-De-2" said the Torquemada, it noticed the disturbed look on Hazard's face. "What? I often hide in the air vents when I want to escape him" he continued. He flew up into the vents and returned with a small deck of cards. "Fortunate for me during my travels as an Inquisitor I discovered an old Terra game seemingly designed to strengthen one's patience. It was called Solitare." continued Torquemada. "It's the reason I fell out of the vent in the first place, you have no idea how hard this game is to play without hands and when you're only a head" he continued.

**Owain**

OOC: Very well, but we're going to be in a whole world of hurt when we land without a tech-priest...

The ship's PA crackles to life, carrying the angry voice of Inquisitor Furious. "Get your plague-ridden arses into the briefing room, NOW. That is all."

Ieron sighed and looked about the empty chamber. "You just can't find good help these days, can you, my lord?"

**Owain**

Oh, and about the name Torquemada...

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1410001&prodId=prod1110103

...you mean THAT inquisitor lord? He was Ordo Malleus, sillykins.

**Orkeosaurus**

"GOD DAMMIT WHY IS TAKING THEM SO LONG!"

Inquisitor Furious poured a cup of recaf, but spilled some of it, got mad, and threw it against the wall. Ieron took that as an agreement, and sat quietly.

"All I want is a little fething competency from the people serving the Holy Inquisition of Man... IS THAT TOO FETHING MUCH TO ASK!? Every day there are disgusting, slime covered aliens and mutants and witches slithering between the crevices of our society, and they just loaf around and complain when I have them perform medical procedures necessary to the integrity of our missions. Like doing something about my fething back... EMPERORDAMMIT IT ITCHES!!!"

Inquisitor Furious threw off his overcoat and started scratching his back angrily. Then he put his coat back on, along with a standard issue hat of the Ordo Hereticus.

**Emperors Faithful**

OOC: I think we should re-cap on who we've got so far.
Orkeo: Irritable Inquisitor Furios.
n0t_u: Despondent Servo-skull.
Owain: Are you the acolyte, Ieron?
EF: Leuitenant Hazzard.
Should we get more involved before continuing the storyling? Or let them catch up?

No not that guy at all, didn't realise that was his name all I knew of it was that he was called Coteaz. I researched Wikipedia about the Spanish Inquisition to help come up with a name. Tomás de Torquemada the first Inquisitor General. Also known as "The hammer of heretics, the light of Spain, the saviour of his country, the honour of his order". I guess I'll change it to another name from that same Wikipedia article seeing as it can be confused with that guy. The name will now be Sebastián de Olmedo, but just Olmedo.

Not completely useless
