NO Tainted Blood

Disciples of Thule
Tech-Use
Common Lore (Tech)
Trade (Technomat)


Let's go with a standardish techpriest for now. There will be plenty of opportunity to gain glances at forbidden techthingies in exchange for corruption and insanity points. Why waste them now with so little to gain in return?

Tech Priests don't need Trade (Technomat). Trade(Technomat) is rote production of technical devices, like a factory worker, but for a tech priest it is replaced by Tech-use by default. Trade(Armouror) would be a better choice.

Thanks. Trade(Armorer) isn't listed, though.

Any suggestions for what I should replace it with?

Remember, Disciple of Thule only costs 100, and you have 300 more to play with. You could get another background like Tech Heresy, or you could get 3 advancements, such as Shadowing, Awareness, and Tracking.

I meant going from

Disciples of Thule
Tech-Use
Common Lore (Tech)
Trade (Technomat)

to

Disciples of Thule
Tech-Use
Common Lore (Tech)
Trade (Armourer)

B - Actually, let's go with the Ecclesiarchy. We want to be chummy with them if we want to be pure, and we especially want to be chummy with them if we want go darkside undetected.

I like our dog and believe it should be our murderbuddy.

Therefore:
Tracking
Wrangling
Pack Hunter
Wolf Pack Tactics


Inquisitors live an die based on their ability to notice things.

Therefore:
Awareness

note: I have no idea what these skills do. I'm going by what they're likely to be based on their name.

On the bright side, they can raise you from the dead if they hate you a lot and think they haven't killed you hard enough.

Although that's usually reserved for Ork Warbosses who castrate them, or something similar.

Purple and gold robes fighting each-other sounds like rowdy Purple and Orange fans having a good time. It's like the good old Roman horse racing teams. Which might mean chaos, I guess, but I'd rather investigate the extremely suspicious priests.

Well, from a sane point of view, we just killed a bunch of innocent people.

Of course, since even the Emperor's priests accept the Machine Cult as a part of worship of Him On Terra, from most people's point of view, particularly our own, we killed a bunch of dangerous heretics.

C - Find out all you can about the relic.

Later, we might want to start bashing our head against the wall because the fake servitors were probably the real heretics.

LowellDND posted:

You also have Megabite.

I leave it up to you as which one would be the good cop.

Changing my vote to E=D+C

Use binary to tell Megabite to act as scary as possible without actually injuring the merchant. Be really polite to the merchant, occasionally 'restraining' Megabite, while off-handedly mentioning that Megabite is a bit overeager since he didn't get a chance to dismember any miscreants for days.

(I'll mention the change in my first vote, but won't edit it out.)

We don't have any good reason to be down here and looking into this stuff. Trying to turn him in would raise a number of questions, and make us enemies. Don't discredit Cruentus unless we have a good excuse for having stumbled across his deceit.

We were investigating a group of oddly acting servitors, and followed the guy who seemed to be heading to the location they mentioned. :v:

As silly as it sounds, I want to call in the cavalry because I want to take refuge in audacity. That thing will be on a lookout for us if we sneak out. If we make a big show (and even make a fool of ourselves) and say that we bumbled into this while investigating a relic forger associated with the people who tried to kill us, it might just be enough to take the heat off us. I'd rather deal with a monster that thinks we're a moron than a monster that expects a worthy adversary.

e: I hope that clarifies why I picked deceive and fel+
