Inquisitor ratheol ran forward power fist still inactive. He wanted to stay quiet. Stentch of chaos was everywhere and there was strange feeling in his stomach. Something was wrong, deeply wrong. He had heard of powerfull figure clad in metal climbing down into these catacombs and had figured it had to be Lothos. After all he knew the heretical bastard was here so who else it could be? Whoever he was he was using power of chaos. That much was certain. His cyber mastif sprinted behind him trying to keep up with him, not that it seemed to be hard for fast dog...

Spitting blood from his mouth Rafus ran forward gripping his shotgun ever more. What in the name of Emperor had started to cause this bloodflow he wondered. Ratheol was right. Something bad was deep here. He glanced back and saw Mikavael keep up with him though slowly, ever so slowly. Damn him. Or did he sense something? Mikavael was latent psyker and while not powerfull maybe he knew something he didn't...Rafus decided to be more carefull from now...

Ratheol ran forward some more. Still no sign of enemy...He started to get anxious. He had bad feelings about this...

Naraon snapped his head to left. Had he heard something? Yes...Someone was running there...Quietly but still running. Grapping his laspistol he walked around building block using it as cover. Yes! There was man with mechanical fist where his left arm should be! Raising his pistol he set up shot into him and saw blast hit right arm but no big damage was done...Grinning he thumbed chainsword ready...

Ratheol winced. Man had appeared behind building suddenly and now he had small scar in his right arm in return. Thankfully shot mostly bounced from armour and no big harm had been done...But now everyone knew enemies were here...

Beastmen let out mightry roar. There were enemies of his master here! Seeing the other way blocked he started to run toward other way. He would run quickly around there and kill all of his enemies! Just as he walked past corner pair of shots flew over him. Both missed but he quickly threw himself back behind building...He saw women behind him sniggering for his cowardice. The women would pay for that!

DAMN! Lothos could almost scream in frustation. Someone was here trying to interrupt his righteous work! Grapping his bolt pistol, just in case, he kept summoning. This needed to be finished real soon...

Ratheol activated power fist with thumb of pistol and threw pair of throwing daggers into foe front of him. Both hit him hard digging inside flesh. He could see hallucinogen poison do it's job. Laughing he charged in...

Naraon grabbed into daggers which had flew into him. Damn the enemy if he thinks this stops him...Then suddenly his vision blurred and then he saw his worst nightmare. GIANT charging toward him mechanical fist powering up. Legs shaking he prepared to take the charge...To his relief giant missed him big time. Guess it's good to be small...Quickly he swapped chainsword into his right arm and stroke twice. And hit giant once, somehow into his left arm scarring the metal a bit...

Mikavael shouted Rafus to hold his position while he would climb up and suprise the foe from above. Rafus nodded with grim look and raised shotgun to cover where beastmen had been once again...

Tobius could scream for frustation. He wanted to get into combat but fool Naraon there blocked his way! Sighing he ran backward and prepared to take the foe in the steps to altar. He knew master would need to be protected, no matter the cost...

Beastmen rose and yelled with anger. This time he would not be denied. Running into corner he nodded for women. Together they would charge in and crush their enemies...

Ratheol had got enough of this trouble. He stroke twice. First one was quickly parried by chainsword which proceeded to splinter apart. Seeing horror in face of cultist he swung fist from low. Cultist tried to dodge but failed miserably. He could hear skull splinter as cultist fell into ground unconcious from pain. That should teach him. Grabbing bolt pistol from his holster he walked forward. He could see Lothos now. Now he knew what was happening here. Lothos was trying to summon daemonhost!

Mikavael quickly sprinted into edge of block he was standing top of and dropped into ground. To his suprise he found not only beastmen but women too. Shrugging he charged into back of women and hit his abdomen for slight scratch. Women turned around in suprise...

Beastmen roared in joy! Food from heaven it seemed for him! He was almost going to charge newly arrived warrior when he saw something more interesting...Shotgun wielder was running forward but had holstered shotgun and now wielded pair of swords. This one looked more like it beastmen figured and charged in cleavers swinging into action. First strike was parried. Second one hit straight into groin and warrior fell into ground unconcious. Third into right leg and final hit straight into face. Warrior was clearly out of action. Beastmen roared out his victory! BLOOD!

Tobius activated drug system in his gas mask. He felt powerfull, he felt fast. Yelling he charged into figure which had felled the other cultist changing the lousy shotgun into more appropriate weapon. Hammer. He stroke four time but only 2 hit into foe, first into right leg and then straight to chest. Warrior fell stunned for a moment. Tobious prepared to finish the foe...Suddenly dog leaped in and bit into his face hard. Tobious blacked out...

Lothos looked with curiosity at fight almost top of him. His warriors were doing okay. Not great but okay. All he needed was time...Turning back into summon he didn't see how Mikavael silenced women he was fighting with with quick thrust into head and charged into Tobius hitting his leg real hard too...

Beastmen roared and run toward enemies close to his master but before he could reach them lightning fast warrior with long staff charged in and sliced him into leg, groin, abdomen and head beastmen too slow to catch even one. He blacked out...

Ratheol grabbed himself up suprised he still was alive...Looking around he saw carnage around him...He looked at altar and saw summoning must be nearing completion...Realising there was no time to be lost he charged toward Lothos and sent up mighty blow which sent suprised Lothos flying backward...

Mikavael thought he had rarely had so much fun as he had now striking groin of beastmen twice more. Serious bleeding started to flow...Laughing he raised his staff once more...

Tobius woke up and felt great pain in his veins. Drugs he realised! The spur was still active and was damaging him all the time. With great effort he de-activated. While he lost most of strenght atleast he wasn't in danger...Then he remembered...Dog had attacked him! Where was it! Glancing around Tobius realised dog was trying to bite his leg! He managed to avoid teeths once but then teeths locked into his leg. With scream of pain Tobius blacked out...

Lothos was furious. What was the fool Ratheol trying to do. Swinging with his fist he tried to hit Ratheol but failed miserably. In return Ratheol striked into leg of Lothos and again Lothos flew away...Meanwhile Mikavael stroke into chest of beastmen but didn't do more than scratch. Then he got hit into groin and saw light pass out from beastmen who fell into unconcious from pain. Mikavael looked up sharply. As far as he could say only heretical Inquisitor was still up from enemies.

Lothos was angry. His plans were being interfered. He could feel energies built from summoning to be almost ready to go out of hands so quickly he summoned some more. Then he striked against Ratheol who suffered hit into his mechanical arm almost cripling it...

Ratheol was in trouble and he knew it. Striking with his power fist he managed to hit Lothos regardless of massive harm done and Lothos flew forward once more. He could hear Mikavael and his cyber dog rush toward him. He just prayed they would be in time...

Lothos stood up, once more, and charged in but due to his anger couldn't even hit the hated foe before Ratheol's friend arrived up. Ratheol himself started to heal his leg and chest wounds which succeeded fairly well. Mikavael stroke against Lothos several time most of hit's bouncing from armour. What little was penetrated wasn't serious enough. Dog joined in too and got his teeth almost broken by trying to penetrate armour.

'Krewt'HrikghTAH' Lothos screamed. He knew it was imperative that summoning must be continued and so ignored his enemies for a while to get it go on. Then he striked against Mikavael who dodged aside, then Ratheol with same result. Screaming Lothos felt how dog struck his head. Lothos fell...

Ratheol looked at Lothos who fell into ground. He knew he should finish the Lothos now but if he would do that there would be risk innocent victim would die from unleashed energies. Shrugging he just said 'Come on. We are getting out of here.' and grabbed the victim from altar starting to drag him away. Meanwhile Mikavael started to attack once more but with no result...

===============

At this point no way Lothos can archieve his objectives. Even if victim would still be in altar special rule for scenario where Lothos must get atleast one summoning action completed per 2 turn or it fail means that he can't succeed in that due to being stunned for 2 turn...Suprising victory for good side with only Rafus falling alongside. In comparison Bad side had all 4 of hencemen down and Lothos wasn't in healtiest place either. Attacked by Mikavael(with his long blade) and dog is NOT good place with only power fist(which has only 10% chance of breaking enemy weapon) to use against enemy.

Overall excelent game. My best Inquisitor game so far in fact! It was looking REAL bad when Tobius managed to stun the Inquisitor Ratheol (who was almost in unconcious point at that moment) but then charge from good old cyber mastif dog saved the day. Then with Mikavael getting rid of women and beastmen...Well he was hero to say the least! Have to say though. Beastmen was TOUGH! Only groin hits were doing any real damage as while I kept raising injury total it was slow due to unholy high toughness(123) of beastmen. If groin hits wouldn't have took beast out he would just have raised and hacked Mikavael apart probably...After he was out it was easy. Ratheol just ran into altar and started to fight. Some inspired fighting with most of Lothos' attacks missing or being parried kept me up for long enough. Then I thought it was all over when power fist arm was nearly crippled...Thankfully I held for one turn more which was all I needed. Mikavael and dog rushed in. Head hit and it was all over. Excelent game.
