Agents of the Inquisition: A Warhammer 40K RPG – Details, episodes & analysis

Damien questioned Morgan about the auramite aquila necklace that CL053T had made, and she revealed that she had requested it for Damien to wear because of auramite’s anti-psyker properties. Morgan reviewed the symbols on the intruders and realized that they were Drukhari runes that were altered purposefully to be offensive to a Drukhari. CL053T reported that repairs to the ship would take 114.3 days, so they all decided to invest the intervening time in learning how to repair the sub-light and warp engines and shaved their repair time down to 78 days. Damien looked into the data from Amberlin’s tech priests and discovered that an individual had made the introductions between Amberlin and the Drukhari but the identity of that person was obfuscated. They also took time to upgrade combat equipment, using up all of their auramite in the process. Featuring players Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, Josh Halbot, and Tyler Hewitt, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante.

Morgan, Damien, and Solomon discussed the findings from their initial investigations into the recent incursion aboard the Lucky Strike. They decided to keep a human watch on duty at all times. Solomon used stimms to stay awake during his first watch, and when he couldn’t sleep later, Damien had him sedated. Morgan privately asked CL053T to used some of their auramite to fashion and aquila medallion on a chain.

Having saved a few hundred Imperial citizens, the agents patched themselves up and reported back the Beatrice Hawkstar, who introduced them another member of the family, Usinger. When Morgan relayed the information about Drukhari involvement, Usinger realized that Amberlin was consorting with xenos. They decided they would put Usinger’s forces on the xenos problem, Beatrice’s forces would provide a distraction, and the agents would enter the governor’s mansion with a small team to covertly extract the young governor, Darius. Mogan hoped that the rank spike given to her by Beatrice would let the team enter stealthily.

Amidst the burning xenos ship, the agents faced off against a Drukhari ambush: a powerful Sybarite alongside Kabalite warriors. Rex 2 took a lot of damage and the Judge went down, but Damien healed him and was surprised to be bestowed with additional protection from the warp. When the skirmish ended, Judge Rex took a Drukhari head as a trophy, Solomon became concerned about this strange behaviour, and Damien made Morgan explain how she knew Drukhari words: she had studied them and their language after her last encounter with them. Knowing there were more Drukhari ships in the burrows, they decided to take the xenos raider for themselves. They flew through the tunnels and closed the void shield behind them, causing the pursuing Jetbikes to crash as they escaped.

Deep in the burrows, the Inquisitorial agents heard the screams of people facing off with Drukhari in the darkness of the tunnels. Solomon and the Judge hid amongst the burning shacks and prepared an ambush. Humans emerged and staggered towards them wearing explosive collars, forced to curse the Emperor, follow by a large, floating pirate-like ship bearing twelve Kabalite warriors. Damien hurled a flaming sphere onto the ship, hitting several enemies and setting the sails ablaze, and Morgan took careful aim and took out the heavy gunner. Solomon cleaved another warrior in two, and the Judge used his shock maul to smash the warrior bearing down on Solomon, then set Rex 2 to finish it off. The team dealt with the warriors at the front, but found themselves facing the rest of the Drukhari on board.

In the dark distance, the agents could hear Drukhari attacking Imperial citizens. Damien gave his data slate to one of the burrow citizens so they could follow the map and lead others through the weakened void shield. As they moved towards the combat zone, Solomon noticed two Drukhari Hellions waiting in ambush. Damien threw warp fire at them, the Judge electrified one with his shock maul and ordered Blood Ball to join the attack, and Morgan yelled at the xenos in their own language, commanding them to go back to the warp. The severely injured Hellions retreated, but the agents could hear more Drukhari up ahead.

Out of the darkness, a Jetbike bearing a terrifying rider with its sword out, raced past Solomon and just barely missed him. Damien realized that the chorus of screams they had heard was actually from the Jetbikes, he recalled that a dark sect of the Aeldari used those types of fear tactics, and the agents found themselves facing off against three Drukhari. The team’s training paid off and, though they were injured, they managed to fight off their immediate threat. But as the Drukhari peeled away, they could hear human screams in the distance, and it became clear that this initial skirmish was merely the Drukhari’s advance guard. More Drukhari, and a much bigger fight, awaited them ahead. Featuring players Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, Josh Halbot, and Tyler Hewitt, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante.

The agents entered the burrows to find a city beneath a city with an entire society functioning with good people and a sense of community, even though they were clearly suffering. Morgan discovered a vent system and entered it to access the void shield generators that were being used to block off areas that had been purged and prevent escape in the upcoming purge. At the shield generator, Damien recalled a phrase that had been used by the Flayed Man regarding Talos Ivo, and suggested it might be the password to the generator. The fact that it worked suggested that Talos Ivo and the events on Arcturus IV were connected to the situation in the Hawkstar system. They lowered the shield power just enough to pass through with some difficulty without setting off alerts that the shield had been altered, and made their way back to the main thoroughfare. They ordered everyone to evacuate, but as everyone started running, a massive booming wave rushed towards them, taking out the lights in the tunnels. They heard hundreds—maybe thousands—of voices screaming and growing in volume in the dark.

Morgan took and chance and told Beatrice Hawkstar that their benefactor wanted them to help the pirates resume their operation, at which point Beatrice revealed herself to be the secret leader of the pirate group, The Redistributors. She herself had triggered the emergency beacon when she became concerned about the excessiveness of the purges. After Solomon let slip the Judge’s name, Beatrice realized they were Inquisition. She provided them with a map to navigate the burrows, as well as the deceased Judge’s data slate for Rex to review. They learned that the late Judge had allowed the pirates to operate since they provided vital services to the general population, preventing potential uprising against a government that left its people to fend for themselves. With only hours to gather intel until the next purge, the agents left their Administratum guide to Beatrice’s employ, sent L1 back up to rendezvous with Lucky Strike, and headed into the burrows.Featuring players Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, Josh Halbot, and Tyler Hewitt, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante.

The agents made their way into the governor’s estate with the help of their Administratum guide. With the governor unavailable, their goal became to convince any member of the Hawkstar Family that they would be useful allies. Morgan researched the important members of the family and determined that the recent assassinations were much more likely carried out by those within the family, rather than the pirates. Their Administratum guide revealed that the materials mined within the system are ceramite and auramite, which are crucial for the production of armour for the Adeptus Astartes and the Adeptus Custodes. Beatrice Hawkstar finally arrived to speak with the agents. Featuring players Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, Josh Halbot, and Tyler Hewitt, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante.
