The Long Night Part One: Embers in the Dusk: A Planetary Governor Quest (43k) Complete Sequel Up

One main reason I would support having our biologis work on the Thunder Warriors is that if he manages to fix them, he creates an extremely powerful super elite that is capable of being produced much faster than any other.

Additionally, doing something as major as that, effectively all by himself, could very well give him a roll for paragon trait.

It's over a century of work doing nothing more than touching up on a rush job. Designing the Thunder Warriors from scratch might be paragon worthy but not merely making them a bit better.

 

[Durin]

Oh yeah, you're right. Let's just take the action to make more spa- oh wait, we can't make more space marines because that is out of our control and they are not under our command. And I'm sure those 25K space marines or so will be more than capable of providing the same battlefield uses as those 225K Thunder Warriors we can produce in 5 years with only basic facilities and no improvements, and be just as expendable and resistant to large losses as well as being present on Avernus in full number at all times to help fight the wildlife and invasions/incursions.

That's enough sarcasm for today but I think you get the picture.

True, but if they don't need advanced juv nat wouldn't that go down?

Ah whatever, lets think of something else to talk about...mmm

@Durin
1. Are the Lizard men willing to hang around to purge chaos cultists?
2. Do they seem more amenable to opening up their more exotic products like the Saurus's metal and the Skink's Magma Wyrms?
3. Is it possible for us to honour the Ancient One for his service? We probably can't give him a medal, but at least a PSA saying "this guy saved our butts!"

1. How affordable would that number be (assuming upkeep is the issue) if they just end up taking Black Iron tier casualties in whatever war they were produced for?

Because my way around the cost is simply throwing them into the fire and let them get the job done. Doesn't make for many survivors but it means we save a lot on augmentation upkeep.

To Defiance's End

Sigmund was dying, both man and machine were heaving. Many systems having been compromised shrapnel tearing through everything, oil and blood mixing in great quantities. He couldn't feel his legs and his vision was gone in his left eye but he stood still somehow.

There was no rage only regret that he would not see Syr again, nor watch his son grow up to truly be a man.

Closing his eyes he considers just falling asleep, but then he rips that thought out and smashes it to a million pieces. As long as he drew breath he would stand, he could do no less.

"OBEY!"

Ahhh and that would be the multi ring daemon that threw a building at high velocity at him. It was a greater daemon, powerful enough that the wards on his knight were barely holding against it. His mind being able to resist so far but his will was weakening, he couldn't harass it or stall it. He had to put all his chips on the table or it would all mean nothing.

"One last ride old friend, think you can help me??" The Knight who he shared his mind with roared in affirmative. "If I fall do what you must." I stand the mech to full height and turn off the safety switch to the reactor, power coursing through the mech

"OBEY!"

Walls shatter around me at the command and I move blasting a hole through the breaking wall.

The daemon is huge and constantly rotating, it'd be a wonder how its getting through the city if it didn't have Alpha level power just tearing a way through the city. My neutron blaster fires at it full auto, most of the rounds being blocked by flying debris. The few hitting it doing no more than scotch its outer ring.

"OBEY!"

Flying chunks of Ceramite flying toward him as he activates his power sword, slashing each one as it approached him.

"OBEY!"

Another building is ripped out of its foundations and thrown at him, he can't take another hit. His plasma cannon fires at the floor ahead as he charges, burning a hole through.

He falls through it as it barely misses him but tearing off his blaster. It wasn't needed anyways as he cut his way through the wall. He was so close, raising his sword he throws it hoping to hit the core of the daemon but a flying chunk at the last second deflects it. The debris surround him even as smashes it all around him.

Instead of crushing him, it immobilizes him and lifts him up.

"OBEY!"

The word rings through Sigmund's head and his will begins to collapse. Why was he fighting one the Emperor's angels anyways? He should be helping them, they are his lords.

Even as his thoughts began to twist one part of his mind stood defiant the machine spirit and what was left of Sigmund held. Specifically the part of his mind that controlled his left arm, the left arm that was beginning to cook from the plasma cannon that had charged far longer than was safe.

And in one resounding roar Sigmund pushed the daemon out of his mind screaming. 'I am Sigmund of House Rotbart! You shall not have my mind or soul daemon!'

And in that moment the plasma cannon more exploded then fired, the cannon barely holding long enough to shape it. But fire true it did, a raging star that crashed through two of the daemons rings breaking them entirely as it screamed. The knight fell, a charred corpse is all that's left.

The machine spirit alive still proud but saddened by the loss of its partner, it shutting down to preserve itself even as more heroes engage the weakened demon. Blasting it with fire and slashing it apart, defiant it shall always be taking a part of his partner with it.

it would coast hundreds of millions of AM to build and probably another few hundred million AM for upkeep but not be that bad if they suffer massive losses.

 

[Dragon_352]

so....basically TW's are what we would call on if we found out theres ANOTHER invasion coming in like, two turns.

should we, just as like a default action every so many turns, spend a divination to find nearest threats?

we could have been so much more prepared if we had divined that invasion even just a single turn ahead of time. Although I recall that rid's can't divine warp-invasions for some reason (maybe its just random-event warp-spawned invasions?)...although I'm not sure thats even confirmed....and even if it is its not like NON warp-invasions won't get caught.

 

[StormySky]

We didn't have time to divine it since we were rushing to get the frequencies done and it apparently seemed kind of time-wasting to spend an extra year looking for threats to Lin. Oh well, at least he didn't die.

 

[Dragon_352]

it honestly seems like we should do it regularly. it hurts ALOT to get caught off guard by a invasion because of how many tools we have that can counter so many things.....but only when we are prepared.

if I could just vote to have every Nth turn to, by default, lose a divination to a safety check I would.

we could of course, have the option to vote to NOT do it and maybe put it off or something....but by making it happen by default I think we would be better off.

for my explaination.....

we would be less likely to end up with a bad turn with a less-then-perfectly thought out plan that over prioritizes researchs/whatever over safety. afterall, we know tzeetch has it out for us and he explictly wants to arrange our death which will require catching us off guard in all likely-hood. This means that tzeetch might arrange for more invasions to happen right at a critical junture where we'd have to choose between safety or a tasty apple of knowledge. (not of evil and good....that tree already got corrupted by chaos, we definitely don't want anything from that tree at the moment)

So yeah, by auto-diving by default, there would be far fewer times where we decide to skip the essentials just to grab at the distractingly tasty shinys. (not that I'm saying that this was a time that we shoulden't have used all the divinations....just that I'm sure there HAVE been times and that there WILL be times.) This will help make sure that the safety-divination is only skipped for well-thought out reasons.

thoughts?

 

[StormySky]

I think we were looking for the BI task force, sorting out those Alpha Legionnaires, and doing Gábakr campaign support for Frederick and Syr that turn. Oh, and we got tied up doing the anti-Slaanesh stuff for Guilliman after that, and the free GD can't be used on local stuff.

yeah, I recall a lot of juicy stuff before. thats why I added the bit where I clarified that I understand that there ARE times where you take the risk.....

but maybe thats why we should try to do it regularly. that way we have the option to push it off a little bit and we are only risking it SOMEWHAT since we would still have had done it some-what recently.

I somehow doubt that people would vote for that....but I will throw it out on the off-chance that it will happen somehow anyway

 

[StormySky]

We did do "the next big threat to the Trust" and got advance warning of the Nids once.

true, quite true.

but that was how many turns ago? I'm pretty sure its a narrative thing (which we can now say IC too cas of Lin's new warp-laws!) that we can't NOT get attacked more often then that.....

 

[StormySky]

In hindsight, I'd have advocated for cutting the campaign support and using that Y3 slot with a DD to look for threats to Lin, but the planners apparently thought otherwise.

The more enigmatic Harlequins say that there are remote locations within the Webway where the flow of time seemingly goes in reverse or does not flow at all. Likewise, Inquisitor Bronislaw Czevak has theorized that constant travel through the Webway is partially responsible for the Eldar race's longevity. Czevak himself spent several decades in the Webway, which reversed his body's aging by several centuries.

Click to shrink...

The issue here was that an attack from an invasion fleet would be caught by our normal diviners with five years to spare anyway and divining an Incursion significantly ahead of time is effectively impossible due to how Warp-related the event is. It's possible that it would have caught this one due to how planned the event was, but from what we knew it would have basically told us if we didn't have a threat for a year or two (the maximum time that it's reasonable Ridcully might be able to determine there was no Incursion in) or warn us about a threat we would already see coming in plenty of time to respond to.

If we're doing this I had a plan to move Lin into the Webway but everyone was incredibly hostile to that idea, because we could only research Eldar-related stuff.

Unfortunately I was too busy having exams to advocate for plans properly.

Turn One Hundred and Thirty-Five
Three Hundred and Ninety-Two years since the Founding of Avernus
Three year turn

As you stand in the Gubernatorial Palace, looking over the massive path of devastation torn though Dis by the First Circle Archangyl and hearing the sound of warfare in the distance as the first of the Abomination Cults make their presence felt you find it hard to believe that this was more of a victory then you had any right to expect. Despite the billions of Avernites slain, including almost the entirety of the elite Helguard, the fact that you managed to prevent the Angyls from killing Saint Lin makes this a victory, and the Ancient One's True Death of a First Circle Archangyl makes it quite possibly the greatest defeat that mortals have ever inflicted on the Abomination. While these though comfit you, billions of your people still died, and billions more are likely to be slain at the hands of their loved ones over the next few years due to the cults that this incursion will create. More then anything else in the universe you hate the mematic contagion that is Chaos, and how it can turn even strong will people on their loved ones, tearing apart the bonds of brotherhood that humanity relies on to survive in this war-torn galaxy.

Your military suffered a massive battering in the recent incursion ,with your elites in particular losing an enormous proportion of their numbers. This is a bit of an issue given that you are expecting a major cult uprising over the next few years centered in Dis, the largest hive on Avernus by a large margin. As such General Khol has requested that you request for the Avernite's tithed to the Imperial Trust Guard be deployed back to Avernus for the duration of the crisis, as your tithe is large enough to more then make up for the losses.

Spoiler: Departmento Munitorum

Choose Three
Three Three years

Expand Helltroopers- Your population has grown large enough to support another doubling of the size of your army. Once the expansion has begun begin you can get to work on the Helltroopers, who are the majority of your combat power. This would massively increase your army's power, at the cost of time, resources, and diluting your soldiers' average experience levels. If you plan to do it before the Tyranid Hive Fleet reaches the Imperial Trust it would be best to begin as soon as you can afford to.

Time: 24 years (can only be taken after Expand PDF has begun)

Cost: 51,000,000,000 Thrones, 3,900,000,000 Material, 170,000,000 Promethium, 1,000,000,000 Advanced Material, 2,000,000 Exotic Material.

Reward: Double the size of your Helltroopers

Twenty-Three out of Twenty-Four years completed

Thunder Warrior Facilities- Now that you are know how to best train Thunder Warriors it would be best to build a series of facilities that can rapidly create and train Thunder Warriors. These will take around a decade too set up, after which you will be able to rapidly train large forces of Thunder Warriors.

Time: 11 years

Cost: 1,500,000,000 Thrones, 310,000,000 Material, 150,000,000 Metal, 150,000,000 Promethium, 15,000,000 Advanced Material, 340,000 Exotic Material.

Reward: Build Thunder Warrior Facilities in every city, allowing you to create 45,000 Thunder Warriors in a year

Locked- Five out of Eleven years completed

Personal Attention: Codiac Support Artillery- Recently General Richards spent a few years looking into how to best make use of Codiac Support Artillery. She found that it would be useful to support harassment efforts and in artillery duels. As such she has suggested forming a corps of Helltrooper Codiac Support Artillery to support your armies.

Time: 7 years

Cost: 250,000,000 Thrones, 33,000,000 Material, 1,800,000 Promethium, 4,000,000 Advanced Material, 1,500 Exotic material.
Upkeep per year: 430,000 Thrones, 110,000 Material, 16,000 Promethium, 1,800 Advanced Material, 17,000 EM.
Reward: One Corps of Codiac Support Artillery

Three out of Seven years completed

Recruit: Helltroopers and PDF- Your PDF and Helltroopers suffered major casualties in the recent daemonic incursion, with thousands of regiments being annihilated entirely. Due to the number of soldiers that proved themselves in the incursion providing a large pool of recruits for promotion into the Helltroopers General Khol believes that she should be able to bring these forces back up to full strength within a decade.

Time: 10 years

Cost: 13,000,000 Thrones, 1,300,000,000 Material, 36,000,000 Promethium, 240,000,000 Advanced Material, 370,000 Exotic material.
Reward: Bring Helltroopers and PDF back up to full strength (currently at 50% and 90% respectively)

Recruit: Helguard- Your Helgurd was nearly wiped out the recent daemonic incursion, with tens of thousands of regiments being annihilated entirely. Due to the number of soldiers that proved themselves in the incursion providing a pool of recruits for promotion into the Helguard General Khol believes that she should be able to bring these forces back up to full strength within a few decades.

Time: 19 years

Cost: 3,400,000 Thrones, 240,000,000 Material, 54,000,000 Promethium, 110,000,000 Advanced Material, 2,400,000 Exotic material.
Reward: Bring Helguard back up to full strength (currently at 20%)

Recruit: Black Irons- The Black Irons were nearly entirely wiped out during the recent daemonic incursion, with less then a percent of their number surviving, mostly with major injuries. Despite that due to the massive number of candidates provided by the incursion and the survival of Lieutenant -General Mineyev it should be possible to rebuild them within a decade.

Time: 8 years

Cost: 680,000,000 Thrones, 56,000,000 Material, 1,700,000 Promethium, 16,000,000 Advanced Material, 29,000 Exotic material.
Reward: Rebuild Black Irons

Martial Law: All- Given past experience with daemonic incursions it may be a good time to impose martial law and deploy the army to try to keep the cults under control. Given the casualties that the army has recently suffered this will be challenging, and if major cults form you will likely suffer heavy losses.

Time: Unknown (until Cults are under control)
Chance of Success: 80% rolled separately each turn, can be taken multiple times, each successive time adds +20 to success chance

Cost per year: 49,000,000 Thrones, 4,900,000 Material, 980,000 Promethium.
Reward: +0.5% numbers of cultists found per point of success, -25% all resource production, -0.25% population growth, -1 Civilian morale.

Extreme Measures: Dis- Given the concentration of power in Dis it may be a good idea to immediately deploy our military to wipe out suspected cults, regardless of collateral damage. It would require that you have access to far more soldiers then you currently do and therefore require that you ask for your tithed soldiers to be returned for the duration of the crisis. Even with heavy reinforcements the sheer scale of the expected cult issue means that entire armies will be killed trying to deal with them.

Time: Unknown (until Cults are under control)
Chance of Success: 90% (rolled each turn, requires return tithe)

Cost: 98,000,000 Thrones, 4,900,000 Material, 196,000 Promethium.
Reward: +5% numbers found in Dis and +3 to roll to locate cultists per point of success, quadruple casualties suffered, -50% all resource production, -2% population growth, can be taken multiple times.

Extreme Measures: Avernus' Spine- Given the concentration of power in Avernus' Spine as a whole it may be a good idea to immediately deploy our military to wipe out suspected cults, regardless of collateral damage. It would require that you have access to far more soldiers then you currently do and therefore require that you ask for your tithed soldiers to be returned for the duration of the crisis. Even with heavy reinforcements the sheer scale of the expected cult issue means that entire armies will be killed trying to deal with them.

Time: Unknown (until Cults are under control)
Chance of Success: 70% (rolled each turn, requires return tithe)

Cost: 98,000,000 Thrones, 4,900,000 Material, 196,000 Promethium.
Reward: +5% numbers found in Avernus' Spine and +2 to roll to locate cultists per point of success, quadruple casualties suffered, -50% all resource production, -2% population growth, can be taken multiple times.

Ration Pills- Recently General Richards spent a few years looking into the use of the Ration Pills provided by Callamus. She tells you that Ration Pills are highly useful for your light infantry, who can now easily carry weeks or even months of food without overly weighing them down. This reduces your light infantry's need for resupply and makes them more effective when you don't have enough control of the skies to airdrop in supplies.

Time: 3 years

Cost: 3,800,000 Thrones, 100 Food
Upkeep per year: 3,800,000 Thrones, 100 Food
Reward: Make use of Ration Pills for your Light Infantry, +3 to Light Infantry Rolls

Special Issue Impalers- Archmagos Tranth has recently finished designing Special Issue Impalers which can fire specialised ammunition. While not a new mainstay weapon, special issue impalers have their niche, particularly among militia units and light infantry, who benefit from their role as cheap special weapon and tactical flexibility respectively.

Time: 8 years

Cost: 490,000,000 Thrones, 49,000,000 Material, 4,900,000 Promethium.
Upkeep per year: 49,000,000 Thrones, 4,900,000 Material, 490,000 Promethium.
Reward: Special Issue Impalers put into use, +5 to militia rolls, +3 to Light Infantry rolls

Djinn Skein Gladiatoria: Militia- By supplying Djinn Skein Gladiatoria to your militia training programs you should be able to push your militia's training to another level of skill, making them an even more effective defence for your cities. This will most likely have a trickle up effect on the quality of your regular forces due to better trained recruits, and as such will provide a significant boost to your entire army's combat power. On the other hand it will be incredibly expensive, even by your standards.

Time: 30 years

Cost: 4,200,000,000,000 Thrones, 42,000,000,000 Material, 4,200,000,000 Metal, 420,000,000 Promethium, 810,000,000 Advanced Material, 9,200,000 Exotic Material.
Upkeep per year: 84,000,000,000 Thrones, 840,000,000 Material, 84,000,000 Metal, 8,400,000 Promethium, 16,000,000 Advanced Material, 180,000 Exotic Material.
Reward: Djinn Skein Gladiatoria training program for all militia, +24 to militia combat skill, +5 to regular combat skill

Anti-Psyker Training: Militia- You have recently finished preparing a training regime to better prepare your militia to go up against hostile Psykers. While the sheer scale of your massive number of militia will ensure that it will take decades to conduct the training and be reasonably pricey the long term benefits will be massive.

Time: 25 years

Cost: 64,000,000,000 Thrones, 3,200,000,000 Material, 320,000,000 Promethium .
Reward: +5 to your regular forces rolls against Psykers, +10 to your militia's rolls against psykers, +5 to psyker hunting

Concept Study: Idea-Before developing any new military technologies it would be best to have a study conducted to see if the technology would work in your current forces, and if not what changes would have to be made to make it work.

Time: 1 year (Must be taken with Feasibility Study: Idea)

Cost: Free
Reward: Learn if the suggested design is useful, and if it is not whether you can do something to make it useful.

Reward: Plan on how to implement chosen technology

Readiness Training- General Richards suggests putting her troops through combat readiness training in order to ensure that they are fully prepared if another invasion occurs. While effective, this training will not have any long term effects and will need to be redone every decade. General Richards does not consider this to be urgent.

Time: 1 year.

Helheim Void Command has been barely effected by the daemonic incursion, only losing a dozen Descent's that were providing close fire support to the defence of Dis. As such Admiral Sarnow and his people can focus on preparing themselves for the coming war with the Tyranids, where they may be one of Avernus' main contributions depending on how things go with cults over the next few years.

Expand Shipyards: Large- Now that you have a huge shipyard it is possible to build large shipyards whole. This would increase the rate at which you can build capital ships and maintain anything short of battleships more easily. Admiral Parnell advises you to focus on this until you have all four large shipyards that you plan on constructing.

Time: 5 years. (can be taken twice)

Reward: Repair all ships damaged in recent battles

Locked- Four out of Fifteen years completed

Gravatic Sensors: Heavy- Archmagos Tranth has recently finished designing advanced gravatic sensors which should bypass most forms of stealth at a range of between thirty and sixty thousand kilomtres. It would take eight years to provide them to all of your defence stations and every warship bigger then a cruiser. If done this will prevent enemy warships from getting within short range of your heavier capital ships or defences without being detected, a trick that the Tyranids have repeatably pulled off.

Time: 8 years.

Expand Shipyards: Small- Now that you have a huge shipyard it is possible to build five small shipyards at a time. This would allow you to more quickly increase the total number of shipyards that you own though it would not help with building capital ships or maintaining anything above cruiser. Admiral Parnell would prefer to finish all of your planned large shipyards before building up your small shipyards.

Time: 5 years.

Cost: 1,500,000,000 Thrones, 220,000,000 Material, 110,000,000 Metal, 220,000,000 Promethium, 41,000 Advanced Material, 1,900 Exotic Material.

Reward: Plan on how to implement chosen technology

Ship Design Investigation (Ship)- While you gained many ancient ship designs from the Sword of Sutur datacores there are still many holes in the line of battle for the Imperial Trust. Admiral Sarnow could spend a year determining if a particular design would work. If it is determined that a design is possible it will then have to be passed on to the Adeptus Mechanicus to actually make the design.

Time: varies (1 yr for escorts, 2 years for cruisers, 3 years for battleships, 4 years for Command Battleships, 5 years for Dreadnoughts)

Reward: Build 21 Advanced Defence Stations, 90 Advanced Heavy Orbital Weapons Platforms and 450 Advanced Orbital Weapons Platforms around selected planet

Further Thicken Minefield: Deiphobe- One option to expand the defences of Deiphobe is to quadruple the density of the minefield. This would quadruple the damage that the mines inflict, making the minefield likely to destroy most cruisers that try to advance though it and inflict major damage on even Battleships. This would be a time consuming and expensive option, but would make attacking though the minefield near impossible for most fleets.

Time: 11 years.

The Battle Psykers of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica were on the front lines for this war, and lost almost half of their numbers to the Angyls. This is a loss that will take far longer to recover from then the similar losses suffered by your Helltroopers, or even the far greater losses that the Helguard sustained. Despite that the Battle Psykers remain ready to do their duty, and will soon be deployed against the numerous cults that have appeared int he wake of the incursion.

Royal Alkahestry- The Nynye are now willing to share the secrets of Alkahestry with the Adeptus Astra Telepathica. While Alkahestry is a highly complex art that takes decades to learn, your psykers now have a good grasp of even its advanced principles. This allows them to begin work on the highest level of Alkahestry, Royal Alkahestry. Royal Alkahestry is far more complex then even Master-level Alkahestry and will it will likely take decades for your Psykers to get a grip on it.

Time: 20 years

Research: Tyranid Frequencies- With the coming waking of Hive Fleet Grábakr it would be a good idea to lean more about the Tyranid powers and how to counter them. The first step in this road would be to determine this psychic frequencies that make up the Shadow in the Warp, after which you can try to create counter frequencies. Tamia estimates that it will take around six years for her or Ridcully to determine the main frequencies of Shadow in the Warp, and that this will have to be done near the front lines where they can better examine the Shadow in the Warp.

Time: 6 years (must be taken by Ridcully or Tamia)

Law of Attraction-High Grandmaster Ridcully recently discovered was seems to be three Laws that underpin the Warp. The first of these Laws is the Law of Attraction, which can be summed up as like calls to like. This is what causes primal gods to arise and is the basis for some forms of divination, and for curses such as the one afflicting the Blood Angels. With more study High Grandmaster Ridcully may be able to determine more about this Law, possibly including how to take advantage of it.

Law of of Narrative-High Grandmaster Ridcully recently discovered was seems to be three Laws that underpin the Warp. The second of these Laws is the Law of Narrative which has several effects, all of which result in making things more likely to happen as they would in a story. These effects leak into the Materium as well and are so pervasive that they are hard to see. This seems to bend the fate of great heroes, allowing them victory after victory until they fall in a heroic last stand or meet someone with a greater story behind them, as well as many other effects that are so commonplace that they are just how the world works. With more study High Grandmaster Ridcully may be able to determine more about this Law, possibly including how to take advantage of it.

Primal Warp- Recently Saint Lin discovered the existence of the Primal Warp, a layer of the Warp created by the souls of plants and animals. This layer is utterly incompatible with Chaos and is possible to draw on for Psykers. As such it is a subject of great interest for the Telepathica, who are fascinated by its potential as a comparatively safe source for their powers to draw on. The first step in accessing the Primal Warp wold be finding it, a task that only High Grandmaster Ridcully has a real chance of.

Research: Conceptional Bonding: First Stage- Recently it has been found that Truesteel works by somehow permanently bonding the concept of steel to metal. Given that conceptional bonding is considered to be highly unstable and requires constant attention from a skilled Psyker to maintain, the fact that a stable form of it exists is highly interesting, among other reasons because it was believed to be impossible. Tamia thinks that if she spends a decade or so studying Truesteel she will learn more about how it works; not nearly enough to replicate the feat but still enough to be of great use. She mentions that among other uses any more information on this subject may be useful in working out how to copy the power that Island Turtles use, which would be invaluable.

Psychic Materials: Wildlife- There are some materials that channel psychic energies better than others, or in certain ways. Given the sheer variety of psychic wildlife of differing sorts on Avernus, Grandmaster Jameson believes that at least some of them will be useful in this manner. She will only be able to examine a single type of creature at a time, so it will take quite some time to examine everything that Avernus has to offer.

Reward: Determine if any part of selected species is useful as a psychic conductor.

Honing an Edge- You live in an galaxy of war so it might be a good idea for the heroic Psykers of Avernus to focus on preparing themselves.

Syr seems to be coping well with his death, her life having prepared her for losing loved ones, but Tormod is not doing quite so well. While it is not yet effecting his performance overly Tormod's grief may develop into an issue. Unfortunately an issue that you do not have time to focus on right now, giving the surge of Abomination Cults that Avernus has started to see.

Tormod Rotbart upgrades trait Skilled Swordsman (+2 Combat, +20 to melee combat rolls) into Expert Swordsman (+1M, +3 Combat, +30 to melee combat rolls) – Between his training by Avernus' best swordswoman and his experience in trying to survive everything Avernus throws at him Tormod has become a formidable swordsman.
