That. Was. AWESOME! Entertainment acquired from this quest is now approaching dangerous levels!
In addition, so glad we opted to go in close. We had no idea he was basically prepping his own miniature Eye every time he stopped for a party, and that kinda shit just can't fly. Bro gotta die.
[X] Ordained One!
- This guy has critical failure armor!
- This guy has 10 martial! Pff!
- This guy has 80 PC to make up for it
- Is that a +50 Warp Conduit Trait?!
- ... How did this moron get to that level of power with 15 willpower?

So what we have here:
The Ordained One is going all Tetsuo on us (But at least we don't have to kill him a dozen more times this way. Seems like MM only burned one member of the chorus [EDIT: Which was then turned into a Daemonhost? Or maybe MM just got no traction after all. Still think he would've had 1ups for each of the psykers])
We have a Warp Breach like Glass Canopy
We have a Greater Incursion like Glass Canopy II: Archduke Boogaloo
The mutants and chaos spawn are all rioting
The trees will be coming to eat us any minute now
But hey, at least we can use Greater Fortune again now! If we don't die first!

Our dice certainly want us to live in interesting times.
@Academia Nut given how the vote seems to be unanimous is there any chance of a second update tonight?

Yeah, the ranged kill was a sucker bet as expected. Still, here comes Nurgle.
... On the plus side, if we kill it, we'll have the whole four-Daemon thing. That'll have to be worth something.
Also, We have a major fucking problem.
We need to get the Gravekeepr Treasures Now, before Dandriss shows up, or we'l probably never find them.

Weakened Veil. Each of the psykers in his chorus was manifesting a power that basically thinned the walls between the Materium and Immaterium so he could draw on more power, at the cost of making psychic phenomenon basically inevitable.
The Ordained One is even more of a scrub tier psyker than Mag, he just has buckets of power that would have killed him already if not for [REDACTED, TUNE IN TOMORROW]
Chaos undivided for a balanced meal?
Warp Conduit and Weaken Veil if I got that right... What roll was this one? Was it a fighting roll, or "roll to burn his soul" roll?
Yes! Get'im!
Dammit.
"Why won't you die already?!" --Ordained One and Mirande both

I wish, but he does have to give everyone a chance to see it before the nervous energy to see where this goes consumes him. I imagine he was wiping away the tears as he matched up the rolls to the results. I wonder how badly his lungs hurt from laughing?

As best I can tell, the dice are deredere for the Ordained One and his minions.
And no, I need to sleep. If I get too tired tomorrow there may not be an update until Saturday.
No, this is confirmation that we should have taken the shot.

And this is confirmation of my theory that given the exact same evidence and information, we can arrive at opposite conclusions that validate our incoming point of view

Mostly just sleepy, but yes, if I could somehow raise enough money from this I would probably write 5000+ words a day as often as I could and I would probably be preparing the next update right now instead of getting ready to sleep so I will be functional in the morning.
Not as much as the Dark Seer (albeit some of the XP was tossed into the virtual years and education rank level up), but you're likely going to pick up some "psychic practice" XP and completing the quest is also worth some general XP.
I think that was a one time deal. We won't be able to get rid of more corruption without further research into Sanctic Sorcery or another Kebhon-esque intervention.
@Academia Nut have I missed my guess that we would've had to soulkill him once for every single member of the Psychic Chorus?
And then once more for good measure? Looks like hes the opposite of the archduke, many souls stacked over one?I think that was a one time deal. We won't be able to get rid of more corruption without further research into Sanctic Sorcery or another Kebhon-esque intervention.

@Academia Nut So...would the AM rifle have done anything?
@Academia Nut So you want to pull a wildbow?
So, um... How strong is this Daemon actually?
And I'm actually worried about that Breach too -- what if it's going to cause Perils of the Warp for Psyker power-use for the rest of the fight? That's going to suck.

First round
Second round
How do you figure? I'm curious. I mean, sure, we could have run with our tails between our legs because that shot would not have killed him at all, but we'd eventually end up fighting this thing in roughly the same situation if we did an army battle, if only because Mag rolled like a boss to control the mob. At the rate he was going, and the fact that he had crit-failure immunity and apparently a badass warp trait if having +25 to his perils rolls didn't kill him already, he would probably have outclassed us in the two-odd months we had to fortify ourselves.

Well... shit. Oh hey, a Nurglite daemonhost!
Okay now... priorities. The "Ordained One" can probably keep... a bit, at least - he's going to be struggling to deal with the other problems as well. The daemons are going to rampage a bit, but I suspect they'll be distracted doing the gleeful horrors bit. The breach... definitely a danger, but I'm not sure how effective our abilities would be against it, particularly while distracted.
[X] Daemonhost!
So the daemonhost it is. Although an alternative *is* to GTFO, perhaps ganking the target on our way out, and then performing containment procedures if necessary. But I want to take out the daemonhost, *then* the Ordained One and then GTFO/contain. An unleashed daemonhost can... last for a bit. Particularly if its driving people mad or corrupt.
I half-suspect that the daemonhost is going to be our next big obstacle if we don't prioritize it.
Actually, I suspect we could've maybe ganked some or all of his choir and then slipped away. He's somewhat less potent with them out of the way.
