Warhammer 40k: Enemy Without, Enemy Within - an 'Ecclesiarchal' RP [Mature][High Casual/Low Advanced]

@BCTheEntity Hey just a heads up that I am going to skip this round of posts. Right now the torture is the only thing for Vit to react to and I don't think her reaction would be anything notable or worth writing about.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

<Snipped quote by Raddum>

Honestly the word "craving" should in and of itself be considered a huge red flag. Because tonight I really craved a stout, so I went out and bought a six-pack of stout. And yesterday I really craved biscuits and gravy, so I cooked some bacon and saved the fat drippings. "Craving" something now doesn't mean I'll crave it two weeks or two months from now. It's a recipe which spells doom for any RP, unless you like your RPs spontaneous, whimsical, fickle, poorly thought out, and more than likely, temporary.

@pugbutter

Yep. 'Craving' is like the reddest of red flags because it often describes the motivations of those who use it very accurately. Cravings are intense but short. So if you sign on to someone's 'craving' you can expect to get a lot of attention in the short term but the odds are it won't last.

Short and sweet.

While the Inquisitor addressed the Governor the Sister of Battle observed them carefully. She was not trained in the social arts of the Dialogus and so the Governor's behavior gave her now great clues but she found the timing of his arrival more and more suspicious with every passing moment. It took time to gather a squad of troops. Time to draw up a route. Time to travel. And Imperial Guard forces were not known for being paragons of efficiency and organization.

No. The Governor had been warned ahead of time. She was sure of it.

But it was not her place to pronounce guilt. That responsibility lay with the Inquisitor. So she remained silent, casually strolling around the perimeter and looking for any vehicle that the Guardsmen could have used to arrive. If she found one she would inspect it for evidence of wrongdoing or anything that seemed out of place.

@BCTheEntity I'll have something up today or tomorrow. And thanks for the heads up BTW.

The fighting was done and Vitruvia removed her helm, smelling the burned ozone and the stench of bolter propellant on the rapidly clearing smoke. Screams of dying renegades provided a worthy hymn of celebration.

Vitruvia took stock of the situation. The Inquisitor had gone down but seemed to be alive and if not well, then well enough to do the Emperor's work. Some Sisters were wounded but the Hospitiler Alexa was already providing aid. Another Sister, whom Vitruvia recognized as Elspeth, was already assisting the Inquisitor in interrogating a captive.

Vitruvia's lip curled in disgust. Not at the threats of torture (an agonizing death was better than the heretic deserved) but rather from an deep rooted repulsion at the thought of heresy, one buried so deep it was impossible for her to ever really articulate. It was like love; impossible to truly explain but a powerful motivator nonetheless.

It took an act of conscious will for Vitruvia to restrain herself from crossing the platform and blowing the renegades brains out.

That would not be in the interests of the God-Emperor. The Inquisitor needs information. Walk away.

And so she did, pausing only to kick a mortally wounded renegade in the jaw with such force her cermite boot shattered his teeth and punched his lips through the jagged shards of bone.

Her back to the interrogation she secured the area, eyes alert for signs of a second attack.. or betryal from the Governor and his suspiciously timely reinforcements.
