She recalls it could indeed be fitted with an alarm.

Re: Black Crusade IC
Verateka attempted to create a bypass device, using pieces of Grag, but failed to construct one. She was working on the field without any assistance, and the electrical shock had jostled her processor. Without Riptide and Grag to allocate subroutines to, the task was simply too difficult at the time.

Re: Black Crusade IC
The alarm screeches loudly in response to the attempted intrusion. In response... nothing happens.
There's a lot of irritating screeching throughout the chapel, but no one comes running to the device's rescue.

Re: Black Crusade IC
An impressive alarm. She took the sphere with the utility mechadendrite and removed it from the columns, predicting something else going wrong.

Re: Black Crusade IC
She didn't mind the screech too greatly. Instead, she took off the armour of one of her arms, opened the compartment, and inserted the sphere.

Re: Black Crusade IC
As the sphere is removed, much of the scripture and artwork decorating the temple disappears. It is far less impressive now.

Re: Black Crusade IC
Closing her arm and returning the armour, she turned to look at the Astartes. "Thank you. I will wait for my lord outside -- I wish to see how the battle goes, if there is even any battle left to witness."

Re: Black Crusade IC
SpoilerBefore Verateka joins in:
"Old enough to have been around during the 5th." he replied, with an unseen smirk, not too interested in giving out specifics.
SpoilerAfter Verateka wants to play with the sphere:
Setesh was not too interested in wasting time with conversation at this moment, and instead headed the way he had remembered he saw the Alpha Legionnaire as he had entered the temple. It was more likely he would find something of interest in that direction, than by going another. As he more slowly than usual passed the sphere the heretek was fiddling with, he stopped out of annoyance and concentrated to manifest his power of biomancy to heal his leg and arm. As the power of the warp, focused by his will, unbroke his leg and knitted his wounds, the sorcerer felt much better and continued his search.

Re: Black Crusade IC
The Alpha Legionarre appears to have entered a long hall with numerous prayer cells branching out in both direction. Setesh can see a dead end in the hall in the direction of the entrance of the temple, but no end to the hall in the other direction.

Re: Black Crusade IC
Setesh went in the direction of the dead end. Secret doors and rooms was not very rare, and if there was a stop in one and not in the other, there was bound to be some kind of reason for the difference.
SpoilerWhat kind of tests can I test to notice things or use knowledge of places such as this?

Re: Black Crusade IC
Setesh observes that one of the doors of the prayer cells is slightly ajar. Nothing that a mortal would notice, but the keen eyes of the Astartes pick up on it. It appears to have been closed with perhaps too much haste. He also remembers that the Alpha Legion makes frequent use of underground passages and hideaways.

Re: Black Crusade IC
Setesh did not hesitate and curiously opened the door to the prayer cell intent on finding out what he could find within.
SpoilerMight aswell recover some more wounds with infamy, not like I use them for anything else due to no +10 on tests or able to reroll yet : (2d5)[7] wounds recovered

Re: Black Crusade IC
The prayer cell looks to be a typical cell of the Word Bearers, with icons of Lorgar and the Dark Gods on a small alter and little else.

Re: Black Crusade IC
Barring any unforeseen encounters, Slathissin is able to catch up to the others following their vox signal. In the meantime, he had extinguished the fire of the burning Word Bearer. His webbing is weighed down with additional gear, including two of the Word Bearer helmets, their paint stripped clean by the Night Lord's acidic saliva.
"What happened here?" he asks, having not been witness to the battle with Lamentiron.Last edited by Elurindel; 2012-10-22 at 12:17 PM.

Re: Black Crusade IC
Setesh sees a very thin line on the floor, forming a square shape.
Slathissin finds Verateka easily enough. By then, the many of the remaining Scourged and World Eaters have vaguely meandered into the temple, somewhat unsure about what to do, and are picking around at the religious artifacts. Adrios and Xerkis are having a conversation about their war experiences."All generalizations are false."

Re: Black Crusade IC
The sorcerer quickly identifies the shape as some hidden compartment or secret passage. He tries to find a way of opening it, his curiousness beating like a drum.
SpoilerDid Setesh see any interesting artifacts or items up until this point in the temple that he'd be able to remember and tell the heretek or the night lord to acquire for him as he's preoccupied at this point?
And how large is the 'secret thing'? Large enough to be a passageway he can enter?Last edited by watupwithdat; 2012-10-22 at 02:46 PM.

Re: Black Crusade IC
The edge of one side of the square seems to rise slightly to touch the tips of Setesh's gauntlets when they are close enough, allowing him to lift the door.
SpoilerA bunch of religious books and hymnals in the main area. Other than that and the holographic projector Verateka already took, not much.
Easily large enough for an Astartes to enter."All generalizations are false."

Re: Black Crusade IC
Setesh opens the door and enters the passage, wondering where it might lead and looking for traces of those who had gone there before him. He activates his stummer just in case, and goes where it might lead.

Re: Black Crusade IC
The passage is a long, dark tunnel just the right height for the average Astartes. It contains little and descends downwards and away from the temple and, if Setesh's sens of direction is correct, the city. Setesh freezes when he hears the telltale heavy footsteps of Astartes boots in the distance, moving away from him.

Re: Black Crusade IC
Setesh takes more care in his movements, not entirely relying on the stummer to keep him quiet as he followed the footsteps. But he wanted to find out where it lead and who he was following -- assumably the same Alpha Legionnaire from before. Perhaps the unknown commander on the vox he had picked up before? He remembered his comm leach, and activated it to see if he could hear any relevant chatter over the vox frequencies.
SpoilerStealth test if needed: (1d100)[5] vs 60 + 4 DoS from UNAG
Checking comm leach for interesting stuff if any.
Last of today's infamy point for wounds: (1d5)[4]
How many footsteps? From one person or several?Last edited by watupwithdat; 2012-10-22 at 04:57 PM.

Re: Black Crusade IC
++Report, where are you now? Do you require backup?"++ he voxes to the party on their own comm channel. ++"Status, minor injuries. Four renegade Word Bearers accounted for. Katria has fallen to the hands of the aforementioned renegades."++

Re: Black Crusade IC
The sorcerer continues on after the footsteps, surpringly stealthy for being him and considering he was quite badly injured not so long ago.
"++Looking through the temple. Not at this moment. Keep internal vox on. Collect any artifacts you find that look worth collecting.++" he replied simply on his internal vox. Katria had fallen, once again. This time Setesh did not seem to care as much. It was evident she was not strong enough to survive among Astartes, and now she had paid the price of weakness, a second time. The sorcerer was more disappointed that he now was unable to turn her against the Plague Lord's followers than that she had perished.Last edited by watupwithdat; 2012-10-22 at 08:21 PM.

Re: Black Crusade IC
Setesh carried on, still with a stealthy approach as to not get detected. He was wondering if the ones he had been following were all Alpha Legion and what they were up to. So many questions to be answered.

Re: Black Crusade IC
The tunnels widens up into a small, but well-illuminated chamber. Setesh can see at least three of the Alpha Legion from his current position, but proceeding much further would leave him in plain sight. From his position, he can see that they are not speaking, and the vox leach shows no signs of vox transmissions. That particular mystery is solved in moments when Setesh observes them making gestures in some kind of sign language to each other.
At present, the marines appear to be gathered around a table, pointing at something on it and gesturing to each other in their sign language.
SpoilerNothing."All generalizations are false."

Re: Black Crusade IC
++You do not wish backup?++ the Night Lord seems a little confused at this. Still, as he converges on Setesh's position, he makes a sweep, relying on his auspex and his own senses to try and pinpoint anything worthwhile.
SpoilerAwareness is 40+10 for HS, +30 for Auspex. (1d100)[61] vs 80
