<Gor> @matt23 "A 'Great Steel One'? That and the Badlands...I believe we've an area worthy of investigation, whether we go now or wait until our Chapter as a whole is here and leave it to our Scouts and their master though, I cannot say. " Chaplain moved over to Victus, deciding to tackle a matter on his mind. "Brother Victus I would be remiss not to compliment you on your earlier slaughter. Those opening moments were one of impressive fury and I commend your skill at arms and kill count. Shall offer a small blessing of endurance next time to make sure it keeps up. If you would have it, I would deem you the 'Blade Wind'. "
@DeranVendar Victus nodded to Gor, "You honor me with the title. Iron Fang has helped me gain that title so I can not take all the credit for it."
<Gor> " A good weapon can do little without a hand to hold it, you've both earned your titles up to this stage I say Brother. You're living up to a hefty set of expectations from Captain Jek, continue to do so and we'll see you wearing the Crux Terminatus in a few decades time. " There was his usual grin behind that mask now, battle lust and heretic hatred having dimmed enough for him to return to a slightly more casual tone of being.
"True I suppose but there are times were I can almost feel the previous users of this weapon work through me. It's humbling in that regards. Speaking of expectations though brother chaplain, I heard that the Master of Sanctity himself picked you to carry his weapon and the honor first's banner."
OOC: 24 Hour Update at 1500 EST! The panthels continued their conversation with Jengir and the others through the Steel Predator Stormseer. They looked at each other at the question. Probably the Den. It's where our young and the ones that are carrying them rest. It's not forbidden so to speak, but it is heavily defended by us. Is that what you mean? At the same time Gor got a vox back from orbit. "Traitors huh? So are we exterminating the population here then before the Inquisition comes?"
<Gor> "That Mathius did, I've put little thought into what he actually saw in me to entrust such valuable equipment to myself but any doubt is unworthy of time lent to its consideration. I carry forth these relics as readily as I do my duties, little thought beyond doing my finest with them. " Gor hummed a moment as he picked a small chunk of broken mask away and crushed it in his palm, scattering its dusted remains to wild winds so that they might help purify the area of lingering taint. "In truth I would wish to have a new banner made to commemorate a great deed of our own, history must be honored but it serves best to revel in the moment as well before it too is history. Perhaps I'll commission a new standard to honor our securing this world. " "Negative, these people appear to already have their own form of the Imperial Faith in place, Word Bearers were only recent arrivals and none too welcomed. This world will make excellent recruiting stock by the looks of it. Will fill in a more in-depth report in the coming days. "
Victus nodded to Gor, "Indeed. That would be nice to have a banner of our own." @MetalDog4 Victus then turned to his brother again, "Can you ask if they would wish for more glory and pray in joining with us as an equal in battle? I just feel that their intelligence and strength desires more than what this planet has to offer. But this is after all their choice." @WanderingJester Jengir then turned to the panthels and asked the question his brother Victus had.
<Damath> Stepping forward Damath attempted to get several scans of these creatures curious what they were made of. "Brother Jengir, ask them if I might have a sample? A chipped claw or anything really so that I can investigate their hides contents? " <Abner and Chagatai> Abner by now was satisfied the area was clear, having used his boot to smear or stomp out a few scattered runes the Word Bearer's had used to help weaken the veil between worlds around the landscape before sitting himself down to begin weapon and armor maintenance alongside Brother 'Sawtooth' Chagatai whom had already taken to such a task himself, not having much to add right now. <Gor> "Perhaps we should split off, ask to see this Den of theirs, and if not that then at least go to these Badlands, find out what makes them so bad. "
~~ Jarl ~~ "May I ask to accompany you, venerable Chaplain-Brother Gor? I would like to be to your direct assistance as much as I can. Unless.... There are more fit duties for me, of course." Jarl spoke with high motivation at first, then realized that he sounded somewhat demanding and then corrected his pride appropriately. He still felt like repaying his debt to the Chaplain's support, twice already today.
<Jengir> Fascinating...he had no authority to offer this, but perhaps if they were willing to fight alongside the Steel Predators... We of course shall not interfere in such areas. Would you be willing to join us in our fights across the galaxy and spread your magnificent species onto other planets?
