A skull, a massive horned, four eyed, needle teeth, fleshless and powerless skull of an ancient foe.

Syrath the Immortals head mounted on Shas'O Ta'u Kaises mantle piece and trophies from his other foes.

"I shall," Kais said, the shadowy realm he is in vanishing, and him returning to his medical bay, being healed by his own people. "And thank you for returning my life."

**************************************************************************************************************************

Soon he is relesed, having healed fully, and he is given larger quarters than ever, with his many trophies including that of the traitor Hunter, Kremlin, and most imprtantly, Syrath.

His old friend Mont'yr walks into his quarters, seeing him marvelling at his new livimg area, and speaks.

"Kais my friend, it is good to see you healthy. The Ethereals have requested a council with you, to discuss what happened in the Eye, and to congragulate you also."

"So this is the Shas'O? We are honoured by your presence Shas'O, the way you have committed great feats over the Empires foes Kais, defeating such a beast with so little allies and assistance was a grand thing indeed but with half a Expedition fleet? stunning. Shas'O you are herby the known as the hearld of the Greater Good and it's bringer the Serpent. "

"I am honored you graces. I will fullfil the role with honor, courage, and skill. Now, what would you have me do?"

"Gather all who are loyal to you... those who you still trust... with them and these Tau, which control this ship, take them to the Eye of Terror... " the voice echoed, "And I shall restore the gifts you once possessed... for instance... these Tau shall follow you without question... "

Gausee was knocked to the ground as Sonic waves tore through the ground beneath him, he Rose and brought up his Glaive as he watched the Noise marines re-positioned and took aim once again, he quickly sprinted away and fired his pistol on the Chaos Marines who are one by one reduced to ash but as he runs towards the Chaos forces but for seconds he watches a small tiny object, a Serpent of some form. While he watched it for simple seconds but it felt like centuries, he returned to the current situation as a Bolter shell slammed into his hand causing him to drop his pistol.

The Commissar and his troops slowly made there way past burning vehicles and carcasses that would release red mist into the air, forming red clouds among the sky. He ignored the foul site and pressed on as they  opened fire on a fleeing group of renegade guard and Cultists fleeing from an advancing Leman Russ.  

Patience reaper I saw it the first time. I will get to posting when Lord of change and or warork come back. Sorry But I am uninterested in posting in this until there are more people. This Rp needs to be run with good sized posts And honsetly I cannot motivate myself to post such things without anouther person to bounce combats and posts with.

OK, though I doubt anyone is going to post anymore

OOC: Sorry guys for not posting, but I was away on holiday over the weekend and couldn't contribute to the RPG. I'll try and make an update later today once I've sussed the current plot.

Excellent! The RPG won't die, also if you need an easy description of whats happaning or if you want me to place your characters in the situation that's fine.

I'm not leaving but I have been quite busy with home life, and of course other RP's which I have to do LONG posts for...

... trying to think of ideas for em...

And I will always be here... lurking in the shadows... waiting for Shas to post...

Don't worry about it Kais, I prefer responding to the shorter posts anyway.

That is good, I think the RPG will be in a paused phase until the players can get back into it. We should just continue to discus the RPG's story and what needs improving.

Kais listens to these words, his heard slightly burning with the intrusion of his master. Back to the Eye of Terror? Was he crazy? But, he knew it was the only way to find out what was actually happening to him, and life as he knew it.

"Then, as the herald of our great Tau Empire, I say, that we must return to the Eye of Terror. There are secrets there that we need to uncover," Kais says powerfully. "Secrets, that will greatly benefit the greater good. Any who oppose?"

Reaper we should do some background development for the relationship between greystone and Gausse to add some depth

Yes! That is what we need, since Greystones early career will be reaveled when I post up X'carhises profile we can think of when Greystome and Gausee meet, I have some basic ideas for it and Shas'ui I'll post later because right now is character building time.

You do a post now, i can get one up later on. I have school now

Oh and a word of suggestion. Drop the timeline back about 2-3hundred years.

When would that be M40? or still M41?

Early profile

Name: Lord X'cahris the Heretic
Age: ?
Homeworld: DELETED BY ORDERS OF GREYSTONE
Species: Human, Space Marine
Ranking: Chaos Lord
Abilities: Vaguely Psychic, Fearless
Equipment and Wargear: Power Fist, Power Sword, Tactical dreadnought armour, Shield Generator, Icon of Chaos favour
Strengths: Fearless leader, Dedication to Chaos, Manipulative
Weaknesses: arrogant
Facts: Responsable for the destruction of a Space Marine Chapter, Murder of eight Inqusitiors
Background history;

X'cahris is a foul, evil traitor who is despised by the Inqusition, the Heretic has caused much destruction with his loyal Word Bearers who have served alongside him since his betrayal. The Chaos lords history has been mostly hidden by the Inqusition who seek to hide the existance of this foul warrior from those of fearful natures....

M37.93: inquisitor Greystone and a force of thirty Stormtroopers kill off a small cult of Chaos heretics hiding in an asteroid field after fleeing from an Imperial fleet, Greystone finds a captured child and takes the boy in.

M39.96: inquisitor Greystone and Apostle X'cahris battle the Ork Warboss Goregutz on the World of Trestougi after being contacted by the Blood Ravens dealing with the Warbosses forces, the pair recover an item from the Ork Warbosses destroyed camp and are rewarded despite finding the Ork Warboss has escaped yet again.

M39.99: X'carhis battles a Word Bearer splinter group, he returns injured with a strange Daemonic Blade. After recovering he returns to combat training with the 'purified' blade and is able to best four Death Watch marines in close quarters combat, Greystone becomes suspicious but re assures himself about his student.

M39.99: Again X'carhis battles the Word Bearers but this time is able to best them in battle and successfully decapitated the Chaos Lord andeach of his Chosen Body guard when they attempt to flee while the remaining marines are able to escape with heavy casullties.

M40.00: X'carhis becomes increasingly arrogant and secluded, Greystone suspects the blade and gathers a small group of Elite Inquisitors to destroy the blade and help X'cahris. Upon arriving most of the inquisitors are killed and Greystone is impaled by a corrupt X'carhis who has joined the Word Bearers, he flees the Inquisition base before returning with a massive force of Word Bearers and Chaos Heretics. The Space Marine chapter 'Glaives of Purity' deploy but their leaders are slowly corrupted and tear the chapter apart in civil wars of power and are easily defeated by the Word Bearers, a Titan Legion is deployed and drives the marines into a Chaos Portal but is dragged in itself. Greystone is left incredibly injured and mentaly broken.

Still M41 date would be the same time they were in the ghost stars together which is 41.132.3.15 onwards

41.132.1.5 Personal log of Inquisitor Helmian Gausse
Aboard the Amoneo Obscurum subsector Omega.T.819 Ghost star cluster.

There is something malign in these stars, something has been tracking me through my work for the last few weeks and my nerves are beginning to grate. I have been assigned to work alongside Inquisitor Greystone. If I needed anymore proof that this place is bad news that would have been it. I cant believe the High lords decided to lump this nutcase in with me. Excuse me Emperor but the man needs your mercy. I have found that he is extremely narcissistic and controlling. There is something malicious about him that I cant pin down but no matter. It is my duty to see that he stays out of trouble.

Additionally it seems that whatever has been tracking me through these stars wants me dead. It is unsurprising seeing as our recent crusade has pushed the warriors of the Ghost stars back of thier historical territories. The presence, whatever it is. Is however rather efficient, if a bit gratuitous. At causing mayhem. Recently whatever it is dropped a cathedral on my head. I will ulpoad the video footage momentarily. I do believe that it is the Emperor's grace alone that had me survive that attack.

I'm back guys, I'd like to say the RPG will not continue until better timing for players and myself are arranged however we shall continue to expand character back stories and ideas of the RPG until we are ready.

M39.99 inquisitor Greystone and a force of thirty Stormtroopers kill off a small cult of Chaos heretics hiding in an asteroid field after fleeing from an Imperial fleet, Greystone finds a captured child and takes the boy in.

M40. 15 X'carhis battles a Word Bearer splinter group, he returns injured with a strange Daemonic Blade. After recovering he returns to combat training with the 'purified' blade and is able to best four Death Watch marines in close quarters combat, Greystone becomes suspicious but re assures himself about his student.

M40. 26 Again X'carhis battles the Word Bearers but this time is able to best them in battle and successfully decapitated the Chaos Lord andeach of his Chosen Body guard when they attempt to flee while the remaining marines are able to escape with heavy casullties. 

M40.30 X'carhis becomes increasingly arrogant and secluded, Greystone suspects the blade and gathers a small group of Elite Inquisitors to destroy the blade and help X'cahris.

M40.31 Greystone returns to combat situations but de-ranked and heavily watched by other Imperial officers, they see that Greystone has been mentally scarred and is assigned to work with Inquisitor Gausse. 

I have edited one of my above posts...

Good, I'd like to see what Gausee thinks off Greystones dark past.
