The Mystery of the Ivory Statues - An Inquisimunda Game Report

Inquisitor Verhoeven mused over the facts. A renegade former Inquisitor, going by the name of 'Drosk'. A consignment of Xenos artefacts being sold by unscrupulous black market traders. Furtive Eldar traders sighted in starport bars. Apparently, even the local Adeptus Arbites had started to take an interest. This was going to require further investigation.

Our brave contenders psyche themselves up.



Drosk and his Eldar companion negotiate with local crimelord Silwon Fisk for the crate of Eldar artefacts.

One of Ptolome Jones' ogryns reduces a wooden shack to a pile of splinters.

The alarm is raised. Eldar reinforcements threaten Squad Aranea from the rear.

Another splintered shack!

Squats seek some height.

Verhoeven and his Ordo Xenos ninjas seek the ivory statues.

Ptolome Jones' crew appropriate some vehicles.

Squats gun down unfortunate Eldar Scout L'Oréal Wangst. A shot to the face results in L'Oréal losing his nose.

The fleeing Bonesinger watches in horror as an Ambull emerges from deep beneath the ground!

As the comm channels indicate a Deathwatch Cleanup Team is en route, Verhoeven uncovers a suitable escape vehicle.

Which is promptly immobilised by an EMP generator lobbed by Ptolome Jones and a well-placed plasma shot from Squad Aranea.

Jokaero Beckerman swiftly remobilises the van, leading to a classic cinematic moment where crates are scattered by the speeding vehicle, and Verhoeven effects his escape!

 

Inquisitor Verhoeven patted the side of the Adeptus Arbite armoured truck, now hidden in a meat packing warehouse. The sturdy vehicle had safely allowed him to escape from the isolated settlement that had been the location for the deal for the Eldar artefact. Verhoeven had managed to seize the individual known as Drosk, as well as the Eldar artefact Drosk had been attempting to acquire. He had also managed to evade the Imperial Snatch Squad (seemingly investigating the local crimelord), and that nuisance of a Rogue Trader. Drosk was currently being held in a coldstore; Verhoeven had plenty of questions for the renegade to answer...

 

Cheetor, antipixi, Curis and myself met up in Nottingham for an afternoon of gaming at Warhammer World. I offered to run an Inquisimunda game, which led to the premise of a suspicious trade deal attracting the attentions of various authorities and profiteers. As is the nature of such games, some elements were made up by me as GM on the fly, leading to entertaining and unpredictable results. I suspect most people would expect that a Jokaero should be able to fix a damaged vehicle though...
