Endgame

Out in the Void, the silent Watch Station forever keeps a Marine's spirit, man and machine merged in one entity, stronger than the sum of its parts...

A Dark Angel finally finds peace among the carnage inflicted on his enemies, one last bolt round shot in the guise of a billion tons of incandescent metal and pure hate...

Raziel awakes. Stripped of his armor and weapons, daemons surround him, the landscape is a mess of colors and false geometries, the Warp. The Dark Lord looms above him, an eternity of torment awaits you. The Angel grins, his lips part in a smile.

The Emperor Provides.

Party XP

Last Update: Session 25

Session 25 - 2,500 xp

Kill-team: Ezekiel, Raziel, Quintus.

The Astartes of the Dead Station and the Kill-team activate the monolith, and together with the Inquisitor they enter the newly created portal.

On the other side, they find themselves inside the void-ship of the Angel Revenant, the Astartes chapter who gave its life to stop the Necron advance.

In time, a crew is called to man the vessel, and the Voidship sails in this unknown sector. Soon, they're met by a Necron battle-fleet. After days of fighting the assault force, and repelling Necron boarders, a huge Necron ship makes its appearance.

All seems lost, their only option to ram the Necron flag-ship, a veritable floating city, to destroy the Necron leaders.

Raziel summons the powers of the Warp (and Fate) to protect himself. Quintus, having learned a secret Forge Masters technique, transfers his spirit back to the Watch Station of the Dead Cabal. Ezekiel, rage seething through his body, propels the ship at maximum speed, and hits the command center of the Necron ship.

The explosion is devastating, crippling the Necron fleet, and disintegrating the Astartes' ship.

Only in Death Does Duty End.

Session 24 - 750 xp

Kill-team: Ezekiel, Raziel, Guthorm, Quintus.

Back at the Watch Station, the Astartes analyze all the info acquired. They determine it will take around 2 years to complete the excavations at the mining site. Their commander assigns them to the defense of the mining site for the next two years, supervised quarterly by the Inquisitor.

They return to Rheelas, and take charge of the defenses. During their stay, they're contacted by a Tau scientific expedition, offering to help them. After strained negotiations they accept, and with the help of the Taus they proceed with the excavation.

After two years, they finally complete the operation, uncovering a 60 meters tall plasteel statue of an Astartes from a lost chapter, holding in its outstretched arms the two halves of a Necron monolith.

Back at the watch station, the Forge Master has grave news. From the Necron artifact the Astartes recovered previously, a drop of an unknown liquid has slowly generated a Necron Warrior, now kept in a statis field. The artifact seems to be part of the monolith, probably some kind of device to bring forth the return of the Necrons.

Raziel is convinced that both the monolith and the artifact must be destroyed, but the Inquistor disagrees.

Kill-team: Ezekiel, Raziel, Guthorm, Quintus.

The Kill-team attacks the Tau barracks, slaughtering the xeno forces, including their commander. They make contact with Inquisitor Hoth, in hiding among the miners population, and secure him.

Then they take possession of a submarine that the Tau were about to use to escape; there they also find a Necron Artefact that the Taus had aquired during the excavations. Having freed the mining colony, the Astartes depart together with the Inquisitor and return to the Watch Station.

Session 22 - 750 xp

Kill-team: Ezekiel, Raziel, Guthorm, Quintus

The Kill-team infiltrates the underwater mining facility, now occupied by the Tau. They defeat a few armed groups of the xenos, and acquire some intel about the occupation forces.

They assault one of the main mines, and release a few hundred slaves, who raise in rebellion. Having attracted the attention of the Tau commanders, the Astartes prepare for the battle to come.

Session 21 - 750 xp

Kill-team: Ezekiel, Raziel, Guthorm, Sepheran.

The Kill-team travel to Rheelas to investigate the fate of a missing Inquisitor, allegedly attacked by Tau forces while investigating a mining facility. On route, they're attacked by airborne Tau forces, which they dispatch promptly.

They arrive at the mining facilities based on artificial islands, also occupied by Tau. Investigation reveals that the mining operations are taking place a few kilometers underwater. The Astartes take possession of a Tau submarine, discovering that the human population of the islands has been taken prisoner by the Tau, to excavate underwater. It seems the Tau are interested in whatever lies in the abyssal depths.
