![]() ![]() Thelonious was somewhat stunned by this revelation… plus, the fact that the Farseer had used his full title and name, something he was sure that Captain Opwith would never do. Little did I know just how Grand, and how Terrible, it has the potential to be! My name is Beljalannor and I am here to give you grave warning.” When we last met, I mentioned to you that you had a destiny that was both Grand and Terrible at the same time. Captain Opwith didn’t seem to know what to make of the gift, which pleased Thelonious no end but, after that, he got down to business and made a greeting to the Eldar Farseer.įarseer: “Lord High Captain, Thelonious T Deepstalker. You see, Thelonious had taken to growing a Hellebore in the arboretum of theīecause he knew that was the name of the Eldar ship. The Eldar Captain started doing a circuit of the temple, making sure that the interlopers had not done anything to profane the holy ground, and he did it whilst carrying a plant. His thoughts brought back into the present, Thelonious made sure to nod his greeting to Captain Opwith, who was looking his usual annoyed self, before a couple of power armoured Eldar came into the clearing, escorting a hooded Eldar Mystic. ![]() Before they arrived, Thelonious was thinking to himself that Governor Kalpak (or General Remi, he had not decided on that yet) owed him a favour… and what better, and more innocuous, request than to ask for this continent… after all, no-one was living on it and probably wouldn’t be for some time. ![]() This became even clearer when the Explorers started looking around further… they realised they were standing near a temple like structure that obviously belonged to the Eldar but, before they could start exploring further, a rustling noise signalled the approach of the Xenos themselves. After a long trudge the group found their way to a clearing, and they immediately knew that this was something different, when they saw a massive arch, made of a white material that was obviously alien in origin… in the white material were dark red stones of indeterminate type… the whole place reeked of Xenos. That being said, they did have items of their own to make their journey at least tolerable… from the Power Swords of Thelonious and Isendark, slicing through even the thickest branches with ease, to the unrelenting fury of Bazak, uprooting and destroying entire trees with his Thunder Hammer, to the Telekinesis of Mistress Valentina, lightly pushing things out of the way… they made their way through the forest. The going was tough for even this hardened group of explorers, roots seemed to always be in the wrong place to trip everyone up, the foliage was extremely dense in places and, in general, they just got a vibe that it was wrong for them to be in this part of the forest. However, as soon as they started to pass the 5km threshold that they had been warned again, Isendark found that even his skills were not enough to keep the shuttle flying due to the turbulence and disruption and the best he could hope for was a controlled crash! The shuttle smashed through the upper tree canopy and skidded along the ground, miraculously avoiding ending its journey crushed against a tree… the command crew emerged into the primordial forest, shaken but alive. The journey down was quite easy… the Orks were mostly ground based and the co-ordinates were far away from the main battles on Damaris.
