Session XXI: Everyone on the pointy stick - Report

General Summary

So the Crew descended deep into the heart of the shrine, far below the surface and sky above which rained space marine drop pods and Orkish artillery strikes. As the group reached to bottom of the stairs they had taken the banging sound of hollow reverberations of stone and metal which echoed through the great chamber they found themselves in took on a more muted sound as the work cracked through the final layers of stone.   The cavern was massive, clearly created by xenos filth long before the imperium had settled on the planet. The large chamber was ovular north to south and stalagmites and stalactites could be found about the gargantuan space. The most odd feature of the room was directly in the center as the rock formations joined together to form a faux maw of rocky teeth, clasped shut around a strange reddish-orange glow.   As the team got closer they could see the radiating light was coming from a long spear encased by the earth, waiting patiently as the millennia passed by around it. Of course when someone finally did come to claim it so did opposing forces because life can't be simple, though the coincidence is astounding. How did the Orks get wind of this object being here specifically?   Isaac could sense warp disturbance as well. A weighty sense of corrupting taint lingered in the air. Perhaps the immaterium had seeped through recently or the veil was thin and yet to produce any horrors but whatever the case, worrying about it quickly became a secondary concern to the gigantic Ork Ironboilah screaming "Waaagh!" as he caught sight of Murk and began charging the gathered tomb raiders.   Battle was met and damage was dished out on both sides. Murk was able to get rid of the rest of the mines he had pilfered and Stig had a poor showing in the martial arena for once in his life. In the end the Warboss Ironboilah lay dead and Murk was badly injured, he bled from mortal wounds but could move under his own power still. He began eating the remains of Ironboilah as a sign of dominance and respect for the good fight.   Just as the battle was wrapping up, Stig busted into the stone case around the spear that Ani had long sought, grab up the fabled weapon and proceeded to bring it down on the nearest dwarves head.   The scream that erupted from Ani was nearly strong enough to drown out the psychic scream that echoed out across the planes, shaking the cavern and drawing the gaze of the ruinous powers. The weak layer of reality peeled back to make room for the Slaaneshi chosen from Bjorn's dreams.   AGONAK CINDERBLISS stepped forth through the newly opened wound in reality flanked by two of his marine battle brothers, nearly aglow in violent shades of pinks and purples covered in agonizing looking spikes the once marine man-thing with a deeply gashed face looked on in equal measures of contempt entertainment and lust as the forces of Slaanesh strode forward, summoned by the destruction of their trap McGuffin the spear.   Things were about to get worse...
