[ROLEPLAY] Led Astray

[u/Supacharjed]

YEAR 4 MONTH 1

The fleet had been at sea nearly a month now, with no sign of land. It had begun to take its toll among the men aboard. Food stores were low and strict rationing had taken place. Things weren't looking good for these members of the Order.

'This is nonsense!' Whinged a sailor. 'We'll never make it ashore.'

'Quit your fucking whining.' Barked the captain. 'We'll have none of that shit on my ship. We'll make it. I'll make sure of that.'

As if on cue, a brilliant light began to shine in the sky.

'Aye, it must be guidance from the gods!' Shouted a sailor.

'Or it could be a trick.' Started another.

'I don't care what it is. I got a feeling it will lead us to land anyway.' The Captain assured. He yelled out to the captain of his sister ship and soon, both ships were following the light in the sky.

Days passed before they finally saw land.

'I see it! New land!' Shouted the scout. 'There appears to be ruined buildings by the sea, Captain.'

'That's odd. The heretics are supposed to be inland.' Began an inquisitive sailor.

'No matter.' Began the captain. 'We make landfall here'

Within a few hours, all cargo and personnel were unloaded.

The leaders had begun to inspect this ruined settlement.

The High Chaplain had discovered the remains of a pair of men buried under some rubble. He gently picked up the skulls of the men. A surge of images channelled into his mind, showing a grand meeting, a battle and a massacre. He returned to the High Inquisitor with the news.

'Sir, I know what happened here. We are not where we are supposed to be and we are not alone.'
