Wednesday Night Gaming! - Wednesday
12th August 2009
By Jon Simpson
I'm
off to Ludlow tonight for Wednesday Night
Gaming!
We've been
playing in Martin
Dye's Dark Hersey adventure for a few
weeks now and I'm pretty sure we're near
the end. I'm hoping Venris Ryback (my Cleric
Exorcist) makes it through the night unscathed.
He's already lost an eye and several fingers
in the service of the Emperor and although
it goes without saying that he'd willingly
give his life, it would be nice if he didn't
have to. Especially since there are several
other more deserving martyrs in our group...
We've been
despatched to a world ripped apart by war.
What began as an uprising against oppression
by the local population ended in the deployment
of the Imperial Guard and a brutal conflict
ensued. Based in the worlds only hive city,
our role is to tackle anything deemed to
be beyond the Imperial Guards pay scale,
so basically if it smells like a Heretic
or a Daemon, call us.
The GM:
Martin Dye
The Players:
Chris Young – Assassin
Gareth Loxton – Adeptus Arbite
Jon Simpson - Cleric
Phil Potter – Imperial Psyker
Following
several reports of bodies being found with
their heads torn off our investigations
began. It smelt like evil psyker activity
to us, so taking our usual heroic approach
we recruited a load of hardy, well armed
Imperial Guard Veterans and began sniffing
around.
Several gaming
sessions, loads of dead bodies and a couple
of dead player characters later we have
tracked down the Daemon to a host body.
Sadly the host body is currently being carried
through the war torn and hostile streets
of the hive by a large angry mob of devoted
cultists. Our only method of combating this
evil lay in getting a priest we'd borrowed
from the church close enough to the host
body to exorcise the Daemon.
This is where
tonights session will be starting…
