Cassimir Crowe

Cassimir's jaw works unconsciously as he scans the dossier and accompanying pictures. Some good-for-nothing noble's son, that's just what they needed. If something had happened, the Marquis had better not blame the messengers. After some quiet reflection, he glances up at the Marshal.

"What's out at Red Rock? Anything valuable, the kind of thing that could draw in something like a major bandit attack?"

Cassimir nods approvingly. "The bond between a warrior and his weapon is second only to the bond between the warrior and the Emperor. Speaking of which..."

He turns to the quartermaster. "I could use some stun grenades. And if the workshop finally has the time to make a few adjustments to my chainsword's heft, I'd appreciate it."

Before taking his seat for the trip, Cassimir crosses his arms in an aquila and closes his eyes.

"O Lord of All Mankind, our Immortal God-Emperor, whose glory shines undiminished across the whole of the Imperium and beyond, guide us now. Watch over our holy mission, grant us strength in its darkest hour, and let our every blow strike down your enemies. May you reign forever and ever, Amen."

Satisfied that everything is as it should be, he sits down and smiles, content that their mission would go precisely as the Emperor willed it. Any difficulties or complications would simply be a test of their fortitude and faith.

Saint snorts irritably and shifts under Cassimir; a few seconds of muttering into her ear calms her down.

"We shouldn't go out of our way to avoid a few armed men. After all, who goes out into the frontier unarmed? Besides, if they're fool enough to attack us, well... we've killed more with less."

Was there no depth to the stupidity and depravity of men who lived outside the Emperor's light? Killing them would be a mercy, and Cassimir was feeling very merciful today.

As soon as their intentions are known, Cassimir whips his chainsword from his hip and spurs Saint into a full-speed charge at the bandits. The weapon is almost roaring louder than he is as he bears down on one of the poor fools, weapon perfectly poised for a killing strike.

"EQUITES, FOR THE EMPEROOOR!"

Initiative: 14

Quick Draw the Chainsword and Crushing Charge on the weedy guy with the lascarbine, TN 100 (40 +20 Charge +30 Surprise +10 Hatred).

Crushing Charge vs 100: 24, so that's one hit that can't be parried, and he has to make an Opposed Strength test against my mount or be knocked Prone. Assuming he lives, because...

Damage, Pen 2: 2d10k1+5 15, Righteous Fury! My Curate comrade ability means there is now 1 free temporary FP up for grabs to any PC within communications range. If you want it, speak up. It vanishes if unspent by the end of the encounter, and you can't burn it, but otherwise it can be used for any FP purposes.

Righteous Fury, Body: 5, holy God-Emperor do the dice want this scrublord bandit to suffer. "A torrent of blood spills from the deep cuts, making the ground slick with gore. All characters attempting to move through this pool of blood must make a Challenging (+0) Agility Test or fall Prone. The target suffers 1d10 Toughness Damage and also suffers Blood Loss."

Y'know what, he's already probably dead or crippled beyond any ability to act, so I'm gonna skip the Strength roll for my horse. If it matters, the horse has 51 Strength, assuming we're just using the basic Horse profile from Hammer of the Emperor. Of course, assuming makes an rear end out of you and Ming, so let me know if anything's different.

As Cassimir's blade cuts clean through the outlaw and the impact sends the man's upper half flying off the bridge, he feels a moment of grim pride. That was the kind of blow he'd always associated with fiery sermons of the greatest Saints and the Angels of Death. He was nothing compared to such heroes, but this was still a good omen. Blood fountaining from the corpse splashes across his entire right side and along Saint's flank. He blinks reflexively to keep it out of his eyes, and when he reopens them, Saint's momentum has already carried them halfway across the bridge, and the bandit with the laslock is straight ahead of him. Divine providence? Of course.

He raises the sword again and swings, but his blood-slick hand nearly loses its grip on the sword, and the blow is not nearly as clean as the first. He immediately curses himself internally for the sin of pride and resolves to perform 100 Hail Emperors before he sleeps tonight.

Crushing Charge on laslock guy.

Crushing Charge TN 70 (40 +20 Charge +10 Hatred): 86, but so far as I can tell there's nothing in the rules that says I can't give myself the temporary FP from Curate, so I'll go ahead and use it to reroll.

Crushing Charge vs 80 Reroll: 31

Damage, Pen 2: 7

Cassimir gives his chainsword one last rev to clear the worst of the blood out, then returns it to his side. Later on, once they made camp, he'd have to break it open and give it a more thorough cleaning. A chainsword's spirit was proud and temperamental by nature; if you didn't respect the weapon by keeping it clean and anointed with sacred oils, it would jam on you at the worst possible time.

Wiping blood from his face and beard with a little water from his canteen, he turns in the saddle to regard the survivor with a stony glare. "Well, you're smarter than your friends, so far. Why don't you tell us what you fools were doing out here? And son, don't lie to us. I'm in a charitable mood for the moment, but I think I've demonstrated that pissin' me off will not improve your prospects of making it through the day."

Cassimir spends a few seconds glaring at the lock as though it were the lock's fault the sheriff wasn't in. Then the full import of what the old man had said hits him, and he turns towards him.

"New sheriff, you said? We're here looking for Sheriff Margo and his son, the Deputy. Equites haven't heard word out of here in over a month. What's happened?"

Oops, I forgot the kid was here pretending to the be the Sheriff's son.

Cassimir exhales slowly, heart sinking. Unless they'd severely misjudged Sheriff Margo's character, he wasn't the type to panic and run. Something had driven him to ground, and it had to be something more than the official story. He needed to speak to the boy, find out the truth.

"Well, damnation. Where are they keeping the kid? I ought to... minister to his soul."
