Only in Stripping does duty end... (TTS Custodes Quest REDUX)

[X] Tribune Herakles of the Hetareon Guard (Previous Character)

I was promised stripping and there was none, they just defended the stupid webway...

I honestly wouldn't mind playing a new character, but honestly? Let's just keep the momentum going! Oh, also it is lovely too see this back! It was a proper delight last time, so hopefully we can muster some of the glory from the past!
 
Troubling Starts
You, Tribune Herakles of the Adeptus Custodes was the final hope of the palace. And where were you?

In a Sewer. Well, at least it's better than guarding the Webway.

Now, which way do you go?

(Mapping Check! DC: 50+10(Labyrinthine Layout)-15(6000 years of familiarity)=DC 45.)
(D100=51. Success!)
(D10=6 Encounters.)

Aha. You knew you recognized that pathway! Now, just to follow it...

(Encounter Roll: D100=97! Critical!)

Hmm?

As you are following the path to the entrance, you cannot help but hear some Scraping. It doesn't sound like the Bastard Sludges...

What could it possibly be-

Oh. Oh boy.

Well, you suppose it's good that you went down here, because finding no less than 3 of the supposedly disbanded Sisters of Silence was a rather important discovery.

No, all you need to do is-

(Fitness Check! Fitness Rating: Super. Trap rating: Veteran.)
(Autosuccess!)

!?

You quickly leap back, just before the crudely shaped arrows fired. Why was-?

Ah.

Looking at the Blood you saw on the broad heads, you quickly came to the conclusion that this wasn't meant to hit you.

Of course, that doesn't mean it wouldn't hurt like a bitch.

"!!!"

At the scrapping noise you heard, you turn your head...

Only to meet the terrified eyes of the Silent Sister Superior that was shielding the two Null Maidens behind her.

Oh dear. She believes you're angry with her. Well, you're a bit peeved, but you noticed it easily enough.

Now, you have to dissuade her from doing something drastic. How do you do so?

[] Insert a plan to calm down the Sisters.

(AN: Another 12 hour vote. Hopefully I'm not taking this too slowly, but I wasn't expecting a 97 as your first encounter roll.)
 
No. You didn't really interact with the Sisters during the Great Crusade, you focused more on the Imperial Army and Astartes Legions. After the HH, you never saw the point since they had disbanded.
 
[X] Put down our weapon to show we have no hostility to do them and say we have no hostility towards them and not angry

Sure, that's fine. But do expect to have another filler vote if all you do is put down your weapon.

Don't forget that while the SoS can't speak, they can listen.
 
[x] Good tidings, fellows! It is truly a curious thing to meet such fervent faithful in these climes, though I suppose with all that's happened you must end up somewhere. And fortuitous, to meet such skilled and dedicated warriors! I bid thee, aide me in mine efforts to maintain and defend this fetid hole, and I shalt see you freed from this pit and brought under my personal protection, as mine entourage.

Translation: Sup bitches. Weird place to hide out, but I guess that's the point. You help me unfuck this place a bit, and I'll vouch for you up top.

Oh thank god we didn't find a Bastard of the Sludge, and that the trap wasn't fire based. Side note, Custodes' senses are enhanced beyond humans right? So imagining what that smells like...Yeah nah, not happening

Well, that was out of the left field! No clue how to deal with this, so bandwagon it is!
