    "I am not saying that. One of yours died." The sorcerer paused a short moment looking at the terminators around him, seeming a little itchy like they were anticipating something. "I am more curious as to why someone would take the effort of recording the death and sending it to you. Whoever sent it must have known it would be interpreted as a provocation." He let his words sink in. "And thus retaliated upon. It is a too obvious course of events."

    "I am aware. But such a blatant affront to Holy Lorgar cannot be tolerated. Misguided over-emphasis on one of the Ruinous Ones is one thing, blasphemy against Lorgar's Word is quite another. I cannot, would not, and will not allow such insult to stand. I know our masked friend will expect my subordinates to come for him. He will not be expecting a fellow devotee of the Great Conspirator. So the omens assure me."

    The Apostle had a point. One would not expect that. And the Alpha Legion would not expect it either, if they were really behind it. Though there was the possibility of the infiltrator close to the Apostle did know of his intentions. In any case, if Setesh did go instead of some kind of kill-squad, or worse, of the Word Bearers it would be cleaner — assumably. A follower of Tzeentch who threatened a world of Tzeentch with a possible invasion in retaliation was borderline foolhearty. A trait that wasn't too rare, though.

    "That sounds logical. But what do I have to gain in doing this task for you against one of my own?" The sorcerer used the word "own" very loosly, here. He did not in particular mean it. But he figured it was a good word to use in this situation.

    "Ah. I thought we'd come to that." Akaduros looks to the Terminator at his right and nods.

    The Terminator gestures, and a long, thing object emerges from a case on his back, floating down into both hands. A long, multi-hued staff glitters in his grip. Colors constantly weave, morph, a mutate, their depths promising only madness. Setesh instinctively recognizes a Staff of Change.

    It had been a long time since Setesh had last seen one of these staves. They were quite rare and quite dangerous. Quite valuable, even if not useful to him in particular. But he had Vra'tzaen. That was his trusted—if you could call a daemon weapon that—albeit vicious melee weapon, one he had used for decades slaying countless of individuals and creatures of both natural and unnatural origin.

    "Are you suggesting that one of the Changer's staves would be a reward upon me doing this task...of fetching... for you? Or are you offering it up to me at this moment as advance payment so I will do it?" Either way, the reward was intruiging. Setesh felt an urge to possess it. Atleast for a while.

    Interesting. Travelling to Q'Sal would allow him to delve deeper in this plot of the Alpha Legion. And now he has a solid reason to go also. It was the Changer pulling his fatestrings for sure. Setesh was convinced. This was not a coincidence.

    "Very well." the sorcerer said before he managed to avert his eyes from the beautiful staff. "I shall go to Q'Sal and... look into this matter." He paused. "There is the matter of transporation, though."

    Akaduros chuckles a bit. "That can be arranged, for yourself and any companions or servants you might posses. My men can see you to Tarnor, where masks like that are most often found."

    "Acceptable. Deliver me the details once those things are arranged, then." the sorcerer said, still feeling a bit reluctant doing footwork for the Word Bearers. But that was a Staff of Change. Such an artifact would be worth it. He did not care. "If nothing else I will take my leave." Setesh did not see a reason to mention anything about the Alpha Legion at this time. Besides, he had no idea if some of the others in the chamber could be an infiltrator as well.

    "I will ensure that it will be ready before we depart this system. Prepare yourself in whatever way you think best." With that, he gestures, and a pair of Terminators escort Setesh back the way he came.

    The Night Lord shrugs, a moment that sets his leather wings rippling. "It is good to travel with fellow Astartes. He seemed competent enough, and his talents are useful." he explains briefly. "Will you be joining us?"

    Skyrar nods. Extending a cautious hand of respect for a fellow warrior. "I will travel with you. I do not like sorcerer;s but it seems threat walks in step with him and where there is threat there is blood. When you see him please inform him. I can be contacted on this channel. With the last one he hands across the frequency of his micro bead.

    A bit later

    Sat in the small cell that was allotted to him Skyrar paced around the whip that lay coiled on the floor writhing and smoking slightly. Eventually he reached forard to tussle with the mind of the ebast within the coils.

    A sea of flames erupted within his mind and the whip coiled around his throat as he locked wills with the demon. Even as he struggled he chanted his catechisms to the dark Gods before forcing his will upon the whip until it lay sleepy and quiescent at his waist. Settling on the edge of the cot he meditates quietly on what is to come.

    Finally returning to where Setesh had last seen the others, now with a specific and less convuluted a task than assaulting a whole world, only the Night Lord remained — the khornate berserker had gone somewhere else. He wasn't really disappointed with that, but it was likely he needed followers of some kind to accompany him to Q'Sal. He needed bodies to absorb blows or attention which he'd get himself if he did it alone.

    "Have you seen a capable heretek anywhere while I was gone?" the sorcerer asked Slathissin.

    "I have not, though the Khorne-minded one wished to travel with us. Though he clearly has no love of sorcerors, it is true that danger has thus far followed us, and that means sport." he shows Setesh the vox frequency.
    "Was there anything else? I seek to claim my reward from these scripture-thumpers before we decide whether or not to head for fresher kill."

    The sorcerer sighed a little over the fact that he now had to search for an adept heretek himself. That the khornate wanted to follow him he did not mind so much. He could handle a khornate and he needed some capable ones to accompany him to Q'Sal anyway. A follower of Khorne there would be a fitting distraction from himself. It was that null field that annoyed him. Not that he had planned to stay close to him anyway, but it could be an issue if he stayed too close during potential battles.

    "I see. I suppose that... is acceptable." he said with a somewhat indifferent demeanour.

    "No. I now need to find a heretek for repairs and maintenance as well as claim my own." He had had something in mind when he accepted the World Bearers' request for him to join this bloody and riskful endeavour, and now it was time to collect.

    A little later Setesh had acquired that which was now rightfully his, a warp staff as they were called. The staff itself looked frail compared his daemon weapon, but it had arcane power and apperances decieved. He had read about these staffs, that they made drawing from the great ocean and manifestation in practice manageable and safe even when using one's full power. Setesh had been fascinated with it and wanting it, as he was one of the few powerful sorcerers who weren't foolish enough to draw too fully or too much from the warp. It would be of great benefit to him if it was true.

    But he had time to find that out later. Now he needed to find a proficient medical facility on this vessel. He remembered that he had seen one such before, and went to where he thought it was. He had a task for the staff there having acquired a vial of fluids that was said to strengthen the skeletal structure itself. Though Setesh was one who thought that the flesh was more powerful than metal, this particular procedure was one of few he did not count as such due to its nature being more of a chemical treatment — none of his flesh needed to be removed or compromised.

    Got a Warp Staff and went to get his Skeletal Petrification treatment which will take 1 day.
