Suffer Not the Witch (Warhammer 40k Psyker Quest)

[X] Bore. The tech-priest is an enigma, but his skills will make him valuable to both you and prospective future patrons. You need to know what makes him tick, how to read and predict him, else he will always be a dangerous unknown.


[X] Sidhe. The Aeldari are infamous for their duplicity and slippery nature, and if Sidhe hasn't already worked out a way to escape or turn this to her advantage you'd be very surprised. Build on your rapport, and get her on your side.

[X] Nadia. As a seasoned voidfarer and former Rogue Trader, Nadia is the one best positioned to break away and strike out on her own, and her behaviour so far suggests she will at first opportunity. You need to work on convincing her to take you with her when she goes.

I think we should take fellowship and deception for out level ups because we are rather deficient in that department but it looks like we are going to need them. I would make a plan and such but it's really late I'll get something up in the morning if no one else makes a similar one.

Yeah, I'd agreed. Boosting our ability to rally the others and deceiving Ciro is likely in the cards for the future.

"Lady Black," Ciro says gently, smiling warmly at her in a way that manages to be far more disquieting than any number of screaming threats, "This is not a matter of debate."

Ciro is solidifying his control over the group. I think that it's time to start looking for other options, options that don't lead to flying through a warp storm.

I think we should take a Ciro social to get on his good side just in case, and spend the other social solidifying our rapport with either Sidhe or Nadia—both of them seem likely to also be plotting rebellion. I'd feel better with a broader base of support than a narrower one, so Nadia it is. Hopefully this can undo the cred we burnt by arguing for Karnak's death a bit.

[X] Ciro. You can't keep leaving this ambiguous, you need to know who he is and what he intends. He thinks you have accepted his authority, surely he will be willing to reveal something you can work with?

There's really something very off with Ciro and this with the daemon dealing behind our backs is really setting off stranger danger alarms.

Sidhe because let's face it, we can't just let go of our Chuuni Aeldari that easy. Nadia is here because she has the support/good graces of the local tribe. With good positioning and socials, we can get Ciro cut off and surrounded. Even a lone space marine can't hope to survive a veritable horde with limited supplies.

Get to the classic mook rush and shank him! It does hinge upon Nadia surviving to plan the thing with the locals though. Better keep an eye out before Ciro suspects too much and takes her off the board beforehand.
 
Yeah, Ciro outlived his usefulness. A bound daemon is one thing, bringing a psyker close to an active warpstorm is quite another.
The choice of companions is obvious, all the people for whom the warpstorm is an active danger; Nadia has already lodged her protest and Sidhe is an Eldar, if she wanted to visit Slaanesh's unmentionables she would have stayed home. Bore is perfect where he is, repairing the ship, no need to involve him.

Oh, it's actually way, way worse than that. The place he wants to go is the setting for the black crusade RPG. The chaos cultist RPG. There aren't warning signs bigger than this because anything further is just plain being a chaos cultist.
 
I'll bet 50 likes on Ciro not being any kind of Chaos aligned, and the signs to the contrary being some combination of red herrings and people reading too much into things. I know a bit of how Maugan's mind works, his storytelling tastes, and Ciro's been pinging as 'non-Chaos renegade, probably neck-deep in some small-time secret faction that's out for its own ideals' for me since the start. In particular, there is no way I buy that we're going to the Koronus Expanse in order to hook us into Black Crusade's style of game, given what Maugan has had to say about that game in the past. If he wanted to tell a Chaos Cultist story, I reckon he'd be sending us literally anywhere else, in point of fact.

just because he may be a non chaos renegade right now doesn't mean much. They usually start off that way, but then eventually fall and compromise themselves into that crowd.

"Innocence prove nothing".The Inquisition is quite right on that front.

Grant,we are liar and deserter and don't have moral high ground to point finger at anyone.

But to prevent people think of us as chaos cultist and heretic then don't act like chaos cultist and heretic.

Bluntly, I think that has more to do with what stories GW is interested in telling than what actually makes sense to happen. Chaos renegades are a faction they can sell, unaffiliated ones aren't.

I wonder how much of our suspicion of Ciro is colored by paranoia?
