Such hate on the psyker, even though the bolter fire and statues losing their shit proooobably pissed everyone inside off already! (Totally not foreshadowing voice of reason moment/supposed voice of reason moment)
Stukov hadn't a chance to kneel down to help Smiles back onto her feet as she picked herself up, and he looked down the corridor as he saw the power armored woman leveling a heavily modified looking bolter at a statue, and sighed and muttered to himself as the first round departed the weapon, replacing the ammunition with blessed slugs instead of buckshot, since it looked like he would not be storming the corridor, but aiming for more precise work. "Emperor preserve us, arrogant zealot is going to make this difficult." His grenades would not be useful, either since blinding wouldn't work, or the Inquisitor was in blast radius of the concussive force. As he took a kneeling position and careful aim, Smiles stepped forward and began channeling some warp trickery before launching off her powers, before launching a shockwave that sent his coat billowing as he thanked the Emperor for the rebreather and eye protection to prevent what little chips of tiles and glass ended up heading his way. He responded to Boss' command as he took aim, the shockwave done with now. Covering fire aye, Boss. Watchman, I'll prioritize close range targets.
Watching the statues get demolished and thrown back, the Armsman timed his fire carefully to avoid risking friendly fire in the direction of the Inquisitor. He was far less concerned with any accidental slugs hitting the Sororitas, having I.D.'d the armor before the dust bowl was kicked up by Smile's attack. It was kind of hard not recognizing all the gaudy color schemes and designs that they favored so much. While still well armed and armored, he did not hold much respect for the group typically, as their blind zealotry tended to create the very same damned situations they found themselves in now. Shoot first, ask questions later, and scream in horror as they unleash some daemonic threat someone who was looking two steps in front of them might have seen. The question Smiles posed about dealing with the madwoman got a half shrug as Stukov ducked his head back, reloading the shtogun as he spoke. "Remind me to get a better long range weapon for future work, eh Watchman? And you can make that damned zealot's head pop for all I care Smiles, let's get these damned statues cleaned out first!"

@Lone Wanderer Knowing the RNG and my relationship with em? Right when I start rolling saves they will strike in all their finicky and unkind glory. Or rolling for anything of significant consequence.
Most excellent, we managed to not get screwed by daemon statues!
@Rithy Aye, daemon possessed statues tend to do that to even the most stalwart of heart (Ignoring the obvious exception to such a rule). And hey, we have yet to see such a grinder in action yet, so who knows, ehhh?
Jerod watched as the wyvern rider flew off, getting in a word in edgewise as she turned to follow the champion off to the castle. "Aye lass, ah'll catch ye at th' castle then, sure a' sure." With that, the mercenary turned to march after the Champion and his lot of followers, newly found, and yawned as he walked after the group. In due time, they were flanked by pegasus riders and they found themselves within the throne room itself, and the tale of what the Church planned and how the lad himself escaped. Well, that was quite the tale, the mercenary thought as the boy wrapped up his tale and there was more discussion on his graduation and such but that was of little consequence to Jerod. He was now one of the new Shepards, descendents of the old order that had went and saved the world. Not bad for a mercenary, sure as sure. When hauled off, Jerod intended to go track down something to eat when the black mage looking lass waltzed over, the one who had been clinging to the lad, and he didn't just walk off yet since he had this lass skipping up to him. "Yer t'e one tha' was hangin' off th' lad's arm, aye lass?"
Niya quietly rode after the group and relinquished her mount to the stables when the time most appropriate came along, and stood with her arms at her sides, staff resting on her side as she heard the Champion's tale out. A Crusade, Holy War, stupid power grab, whatever one wished to call it, it was unwelcome none the less. The healer watched as the brief ended and they were given a five hour deadline before marching to their next destination, and she approached this second in command, since there was work to be done. She approached the knight and calmly addressed him, wasting no time with pleasantries or idle banter. "Ser Knight, I am one of the healers accompanying these new Shepards, a Troubadour to be specific. Where would you have me in formation, when the need arise, to best suit your Commander's, or your, tactics?"

New blood is indeed a good thing, sure as sure.
The Arbitrator had kept his peace, not dignifying his fellows with responses nor following suite as they arrived and some of the fools kneeled before the Medicae. Glaring at the fellows in his new found team, he was still unimpressed and such was likely visible. He noted the weapon and armor the man wore and kept, and as he began his rather long winded explanation of the situation, Atreides took stock of what he was looking at. Tech heresy, illegal under, as the man said, about any group or law one would bring such actions under. The medicae was well armed, not surprising for an Interrogator and another underling of the Inquisition. Inquisitor himself was likely busy with other, more pressing matters. But that was not a concern right now what his boss was doing, they had a very clear cut task in front of them. Hunt down and execute this criminal, and that was the only part of this that was clear.
As the medicae finished his questioning and the others spoke, Atreides could see the validity in such questions, at least. But he had a far simpler plan to undertake, and that was the old fashioned ways of doing things. Interrogation and walking the streets. And there was two places this could be done, in theory. In practice only one was practical. The location of death could be investigated, but with such constant traffic it was unlikely anything remained, if the car had not been quarantined. Considering this was to be a shadow investigation and not openly done, that was highly unlikely. Second, and far more likely to provide leads, was interrogating the deceased man's sister, Lili Arbest. She would be more likely to know his latest activities and the location of roughly where he vanished and his mental state more closely then. A third idea came to mind, and he included it as well.
"I will be brief Interrogator. One, how fast can it be arranged to speak to Lili Arbest? She could have useful information as to recent habits and where he was heading when he vanished, and I intend to find her before our heretic does. Second, was the transit rail car quarantined off after the event? If so, further investigation could prove useful. Lastly, was there a reason for his invalidation, and if not, who do I need to have words with to know why." Information was power, and his train of thought in asking questions resided in gathering information and putting together the inconsistent information into a rough idea of what happened in truth. He intended to go speak with Ms. Arbest regardless of the group's agreement or disagreement with his plans, and he frankly could care less about whether they agreed with him or not. He was the one who did this kind of work for a living, investigating and hunting down criminals, not them.

I am not looking forward to when those rolls of 6 and other such lows stop coming in, right when they would be more useful/life preserving.
