Episode 02: Shore Leave

Two ships, side by side, heading into darkness...

02: Shore Leave
The Salvator Kai and The Ancient Fable limp into port at Fortress Spite to repair and re-arm. While the Rogue traders join Inquisitor Quist to see Lord Commander Ebongrave, the remaining crew take a well deserved shore leave down on the planet.

After Session Summary
Meeting with Ebongrave, the Kai Rogue Traders managed to secure funding and support for their venture back into the Black Reef, although on the condition that an Inquisitor joined them to ensure protection against Tau influence among the Crew. Quist agreed to join the venture, but left Spite shortly after to meet with some of her contacts.

In the meantime, the two ships were repaired and resupplied, their weapons upgraded and the crew replenished from the local poplulation.

One night at a bar, Wraxa, Rastuss, Herrigan and three other crewmembers from the Salvator Kai got into a fight with some locals over a game of cards. It quickly turned out that the fight was deliberate, and Rastuss was grabbed and abducted during the brawl. Following the kidnappers through the streets in a hijacked van, Wraxa and Herrigan managed, with the aid of the Salvator Kai's augurs, to locate their hideout and arrange a rescue operation. Backed by marines from the Salvator Kai, and Herrigan's team of storm troopers, the kidnappers' hideout was stormed and Rastuss rescued. In the process, however something went terribly wrong when Wraxa attempted to utilize her psychic powers. From a tear in reality, a foul demon stepped forth and the fight turned ugly. Only by retreating outside and massing their firepower were the characters able to take down the demon, after which Quist ensured a full inquisitorial lockdown and cleansing of the area.
