Inquisitorial Reports: Week 7

[IncubiLord]

The narrative portion of all Inquisitorial battle reports should be posted here until next week's thread is set up.

Remember that this is a narrative campaign and we are looking for a story that advances the plot, not a blow-by-blow accounting of the game.

A Callidus assassin approached Inquisitor Lord Nicodemus with a map that of the Chaos temple. Nicodemus was pleased by this information. It showed in good detail what the interior was and the easy was in and out. Inquisitor Lord Nicodemus dismissed the assassin and went to work on a plan of attack. It was also reviled that a blind man was the leader of this temple. A quick strike would be just the thing that Operation Angel Holocaust would need.

Grand Master Forgal and Brother-Captain AElfred where being briefed by Inquisitor Lord Nicodemus. He wanted the Task Force to assassinate this blind man. With the leader dead the forces of Chaos would be weakened.They already had lost their means to summon daemons to their aid. This would be a crushing blow and make it easier to remove the taint of Chaos from the Hulk.


Brother-Captain AElfred asked to lead the attack. Grand Master Forgal gave the go ahead to lead and to attack when ready.

All was ready for the trap to be sprung. Intel had told that the blind man would wounder out in the woods with a small retinue. Intel also reported that this retinue was large. Even with the threat of an attack on the temple its self the blind man still went about his business.

Out in the woods was where the attack would take place. Brother-Captain AElfred reminded his troops that the target was the blind man. He was to be killed a tall costs. The second target was the retinue. The Task Force was to inflict maximum damage on the retinue.Two squads of IST's caught the bind man and retinue by surprise. The IST where there to cause confusion among the retinue. After the first rounds of fire the retinue formed a circle around the blind man and started to head back to wards the temple. Brother-Captain AElfred knew this would happen. He had put forces in to stop this type of retreat.

As the IST followed and the Grey Knights closed on the retinue a small squad and the blind man made a break for it. The retinue was taking heavy casualties. The Task Force was taking light casualties. As the small squad took for cover in the woods a chase began. The eversor assassin that was with the Task Force was able to catch up with the small squad and stopped it from running. A small melee erupted and there was death all around. The small squad was killed to the man but the assassin was killed in the process.

The Blind man was able to get away but was wounded badly. The Task Force gave chases up to the point where the forces inside the temple where able to give covering fire to help the blind man escape. All the wile the blind man was calling on the strength of the Daemon called T'Kara.

Brother-Captain AElfred and the Task Force returned to base with the knowledge that the blind man still lived but now knew the name of a daemon. There would be research in to this daemon and a means to send it back to the warp it it was to come to this plane.

Operation Angel Holocaust was entering the final stages. All that stood before Task Force Silver Osprey was the Temple of Chaos its self. Grand Master Forgal had asked for every thing in the task force arsenal.

The assault would be in two stages. First would be securing the temple and then having orbital strike destroy it. Time was running out there was another daemonic infestation on Tiorl its self. Inquisitor Lord Nicodemus had been reading a transmission about attacking the ork gun emplacements. This might be the better of the two new targets for the Task Force.

The Task Force had split its forces in to thirds. One third would attack from the northwest while the second third would attack from the southeast. The final third was to teleport in to the temple and work their way out.

A chimera and two dreadnoughts started the assault from the northwest. Under the fire support two rhinos and all of the IST in the Task Force launched their attack. From the southeast a Land Raider Crusader roared to life. Grey Knights on foot marched beside and in back of the mighty machine. The LRC was spitting death as it moved forward. The defenders had to cope with the two attacks.

At first it looked like the task force had the upper hand. When the task force was nearing the walls traitor marines in red armour came forth to do battle. The World Eaters had made their presence. From the upper levels of the Temple traitor marines of the Iron Warriors legion made their selves known. The fire power that the Iron Warriors had was doubting. The Task Force pressed their attack. The LRC took many hits and still it kept coming to disembark its load. When they where close enough a Purgation squad came running out of the LRC with weapons firing away.

As both forces battled each other in melee and long range combat Grey Knight terminators teleported into the den of Chaos. All manners of Chaos assaulted the terminators. Both Grand Master Forgal and Brother-Captain AElfred teleported into the temple. They worked as a team each commanding their own troops, but both working at the same point and same mission to make a hole for the ground forces to enter the temple. The forces of chaos where stunned to see so many Grey Knight terminators in one place.

From behind the alter of T'Kara the blind man was seen chanting to the daemon. Brother-Captain AElfred seeing the blind man took his unit to-wards the alter. The Blind man sensed the presence of the Grey Knights. He turned around laughing and saying fail words. Then he was gone. Just gone. No one had killed him he was gone. With the disappearance of the Blind man Brother-Captain AElfred went back to his work clearing a hole for the ground forces. After a couple of hours of fighting the Temple was owned by Task Force Silver Osprey. Any chaos that was found where kill and if any escaped the battle they would be hunted down and killed.

The temple to T'Kara was set to holy flame by the task force's incinerators. When this task was done the Orbital Strike started. In half an hour the temple was nothing but a pile of rubble and the taint of chaos was cleansed. The assault on the temple cost the Task Force about a third of its men and equipment.

The commanders of the Task Force met in a meeting to debrief and discus what their next mission would be. Inquisitor Lord Nicodemus, Grand Master Forgal, and Brother-Captain AElfred still had doubts if the blind man still lived and what would come of this daemon T'Kara. Its temple on the hulk was destroyed but did it have other temples? Time was running out for Tiorl VII.
