Rogue Trader - first proper game, Episode 2 part 2



Continuing from previous post, the group managed to barely controll their Eldar flyer, and only way to not die was to try to infiltrate the larger eldar ship in orbit. after docking in the eldar flagship (or whatever, i never specified the type), everyone was captured, except Amberly Vail, who had disappeared. Tristan Mahvorn was escorted away and the rest was put in cells.

Some of the eldars had heard what they had did planetside and wanted revenge, so they started taking turns beating the shit out of everyone, starting with the Guardswoman (player who swaped his tech-priest for a guardsman), however, being insanely tough and eldars being weak.. this took quite awhile and opened an oppertunity for the guardswoman to take out the guards and started rescuing the other prisoners...

One of the prisoner was an eldar with a checkered pants, whom they reluctantly rescued, in  return, almost any resistance they encountered was quickly subdued (non-lethally) by the Eldar Harlequin.

But he disappeared after the guardsman threw some smoke grenades at some point and they were forced to retreat. Shortly after, they came across a T-crossing of hallways that blasted anyone who passed by it, with lethal bolterfire.

While discussing, they saw inquisitor amberly vail approaching... followed by spacemarines. The bolter turrets were set up by the spacemarine assault team who had been dealing with the eldars in the area, Amberly had commanded them to bring everyone back to the imperium so a report could be made.

The bolter turrets was configured to allow the group through but when they piled into the assault ship... one person was missing, Tristan... and just as they were going back in to find him and the artifact (which he was holding on to), he appeared, completely intact and with the artifact. Questions were asked but none were answered.

They set off towards the imperium, with the PCs stuck in a small meetingroom, locked in along with Tristan, while amberly was dealing with the spacemarines they learned was from the Spaceshark chapter (carchadons).

Tristan was ordered to follow Amberly back to Thamar Praxis, escorted most of the way by the spacesharks, but the PCs had no business there and was set of on the nearby planet of Periremunda.

At this point, I had discussed with the players about changing the game to Dark Heresy, so the Ork disappeared and a psyker was made in its place... but this is a story for episode 3.
