    • 7-12: The Underspire
  • Threadmarks
    • Instead, you pulled up your mask, held your breath, and popped some more stim pills. Too many would have bad side effects, but you weren't there yet.

    The group pressed on through the hall, across a narrow walkway overlooking a dark chasm, and finally, ahead, through a maze of twisted metal beams, you caught sight of lights.

    "That's the underspire." Kade said, pointing. "Maybe about fifteen thousand souls give or take. One of the bigger settlements."

    "There are others like it?" you asked.

    "Sure, dozens. You wouldn't know most of them unless you fell in, though. Underspire has a connection upstairs, though, so it's thriving. To a degree of thriving."

    There were lights on, which was a start. The Underspire had a sort of wall made from the compressed outer portions of buildings, the windows all at least a dozen meters off the ground. It was a sort of compressed jumble of improvised structures built around and atop each other at the top of a hill of debris, smoke rising out and through the maze of girders above. A gate was carved into the side, and observing you could see rifles resting at windows and battlements. Open sewage ran down a crude channel and into the darkness beyond.

    "I'm guessing they're not friendly to Imperial authority." Charitina asked.

    "They're friendly to anyone who pays enough. Smuggling is illegal, but everyone knows its the lifeblood of the lower hives, and its too useful to clamp down on." Janetta explained.

    "I think we've beaten our quarry down here. Are there any other exits than that gate?" Araleth asked, perched with a scope to their eye and sweeping it over the settlement.

    "None they'd bother using, if they had no reason to suspect they were being followed." Kade opined. "There's a few hatches here or there, a bigger one on the other side, but they don't really lead anywhere. Underspire's only got the one way in or out, it's defensible, see?"

    "Right. Where would they go from there?" you asked, and your guides shrugged.

    "Out any of the paths, I suppose. Could go this way, could go through that crevace there. Somebody in the Underspire would give them information on who to hit, two birds with one stone, right? Upstairs juvies kill somebody you don't like and pay you for the pleasure. And if they all die... well, some asshole nobles died, so still win win."

    [ ] We'll wait out here for them to come out, then confront them just outside the gates.​
    [ ] We'll wait out here for them to come out, then follow them.​
    [ ] We'll get into the settlement and see if we can figure out where they're going, subtle-like.​

    • [X] We'll wait out here for them to come out, then confront them just outside the gates.

    Gives us a chance to catch our breath and prepare for the confrontation.

    Hey, talking to people, that thing we're good at! Let's do that, plus maybe find a place to rest and wait for the kids that is semi comfortable.

    [] Set up an ambush. Draw them into the open then reveal that they are surrounded by heavily armed folk behind cover. Negotiate from overwhelming firepower.
    - [] Lure them into ambush with a call of "Hey! Hey kid! Wanna see an inquisitorial rosette? It's real I swear!".
     
    [X] We'll wait out here for them to come out, then confront them just outside the gates.
     
    What's the advantage in confronting just outside the gates vs following them? Is there any concern that the gate guards open fire and cause a mess?

    [X] We'll wait out here for them to come out, then follow them.

    Also, I imagine the the mutant community must have some great storytellers and/or singers. I mean, they don't have many resources, but most of them can talk and they appear to have a fair amount of free time. In that situation, humans usually kill time with storytelling and/or song.

    Definitely the storytelling is accurate, and probably some good amount of art, but I might not think singing would be that prevalent, or at least that it would be focused on quiet songs that don't strain the lungs too much. There's some really bad stuff in the underhive's air, and possibly some kind of predators, so singing loudly might be hazardous to your health.

    They live in an environment with a lot of scrap and waste material. Sculpting and toys should be relatively accessible means of expression...which double as territorial markers in a pinch.

    I don't like the sound of those risks, especially when we have the rangers and our Eldar friend for tracking the kids down. Maybe also because them getting as far as they can from civilisation and being civilised people, and an Inquisitor showing up to mess with them, is *very* funny to me.
     
    The nobels are on the way back up. We only need to confront them.

    What is the chance of them using any kind of vehicle? I don't want to lose them.

    We've got an eldar in the group, I'd rather not have them show up in plain view of anyone.

    Praxis is a social expert. Let's play to her strengths and try to dig up some intel. Also, I'd like a better look at "one of the bigger settlements" down here.

    The option says we're going in subtle-like, so we're probably leaving the super-conspicuous cyborgs behind.
