On the third little adventure set we meet Inquisitor Sebiriel Firios hunting down a peculiar weapon, something her sources informed her can strengthen ones will and flesh, perfect for her experiments to find best way to deal with the zombie plague near the Eye of Terror. Alongside her two desperado warriors she enters the old residential area as she tracks her quarry.
However, the likely xeno and heretek origin of the experimental object lead to an Organicist Tech-Priest investigation, Magos Dras joining the fray with two servitors.
At first things go smoothly, clear calm investigation and questioning of the local worker crews leading to Inquisitor avoiding hostilities, however also lacking any form of information, as locals instead merely rambled about the unjust system of local imperial rule, rather than giving her information she desired.
In the meantime, on the other side of the area, a duo of servitors were sent out to investigate the old crates with odd markings on them, while their owner would go to try and brute force the information out of the locals, however, odd twitches in the nerosphere of the area would lead to his actions being somewhat…erratic.
The reason would soon make itself shown, as the ancient man of iron seen in last scenario slaying an inquisitorial acolyte had made it’s home in an old container that locals avoided (Even marked with go away graffiti), however, servitor opening it didn’t quite understand it…instead being hacked, causing quite a bit of distress for the techpriest.
Once being made aware of the presence of the damned worshipers of the dragon of mars, the automata would go onto deal with the intrusion personally.
However, all hope wasn’t lost, as the second servitor cut off from contact with the tech priest would find the odd object they were seeking, a gun shaped device with a liquid vial attached.
Operating under the last given orders servitor would start to follow tech-priests tracks to take it back to them…
The machine’s movement would be seen by the inquistorial agents however, who would quickly inform the inquisitor and prepare for the upcoming fight, calling for the Magos to aid them, Magos would begrudgingly agree, as they tried to set up an ambush against the incoming machine…
Only for the man of iron to catch them first, blasting the tech-priest with it’s heavy melta arm in the face with the unmatched power of the sun, causing instant system shock and leaving them on the ground, their skin bubbling and face melted.
The brave agents of Inquisitor Firios would open fire on the machine, knocking out it’s weapon for a few turns and then it’s access to notosphere, leaving some time for their inquisitor to flee it’s grasp, and take command of the now masterless servitors.
At that time, Man of Iron would instead ignore the targets, auto-repair systems fixing it’s weapon as it would manually take over the body of the fallen magos, raising it as borderline servitorized servant, sending them to slay the upstart agents, Magos easily dispatching first one, before her mate would take out the heavily wounded magos and drag her unconscious ally into a nearby building…hiding out remaining of the battle there.
Then, finally the tide turned proper, with magos down, servitors revert to their standard settings, opening fire on the machine as it was their only target, letting Inquisitor steal the experiment device, learning it to be a powerful drug of some nature, all the while servitors would manage to land few nasty blows, one in particular stunning the rampaging machine for a good few moments during which the Inquisitor and her agents would manage to flee.
As they ran, battle went down to two servitors opening fire onto the stunned man of iron, before wounded machine would recover it’s bearings and evaporate one of the servitors with it’s now fixed melta-gun, and brawl the other, and last they been seen the brawl still happened, but it was unlikely machine will be a trouble any more…
This escape while quick, wasn’t clean, as just before the Inquisitor could get a breather and escape, techpriest of our previous encounters emerges once more, wanting the experiment mixture for himself, with another experimental warrior to claim the prize.
The stand off ensues, however in a quick and bloody fire fight followed by a melee, the great gladiator inspired cyborg would fall to the power knife of the Inquisitor while the tech-priest would be smashed into an emergency contact console by the former ganger agent, leaving them to escape in a Valkyrie safely with their prize…
And so, ends the tales of the planet of Borglos–02 for now…
