Capitulus Decum: The Haematite Cathedral

In the nightmare future of the 41st millennium, Mankind teeters upon the brink of extinction. The galaxy-spanning Imperium of Man is beset on all sides by ravening aliens, and threatened from within by malevolent creatures and heretic rebels. Only the strength of the Immortal Emperor of Terra stands between Humanity and its annihilation. Dedicated to His service are the countless warriors, agents and myriad servants of the Imperium.

Dark Heresy is a roleplaying game based upon the universe of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000. The setting of Warhammer 40,000 is a dark, gothic future where the Imperium of Man is beset by dangers within and without. In Dark Heresy players take on the roles of Acolytes of the Inquisition, aiming to uncover and combat the enemies of mankind, be they aliens, heretics or mutants!

The Final Piece of the Cog Key

Aesgir looks on as the final piece of the cog is retrieved from the corpse and watches quietly as it turns into dust, glad he did not have to draw his weapon this time, he moves on with the rest of the group.

Haxtes steps forward, opens the face of the tall grandfather clock (that still works) and reveals the secret door behind it. The cog-key in his hand slips perfectly into place and he turns it. The chimes of the clock begin to ring out.

*Dong*

*Dong*

*Dong*

Thirteen times the chimes ring, then the clock goes silent and stops, the hands are frozen in motion. The hidden door in the Nave now opens onto a black shaft of ribbed steel, like a negative cast of an enormous spine. Rusted handholds lead downwards into the blackness. The smell of oil and rust reaches you on the faint breeze from below, along with the sound of grinding machinery....
And so ends the chapter! We will start the new chapter with your decent down! Check the OOC for XP and Level Up info.
