From the Haul from the Virtuous Star and other things:
Octus:
Cogitator and Auto Scribe. 10% on all Common Lore and Scholastic Lore checks you are trained in. Basic check on any Scholastic Lore or Common Lore check. The Cogitator automatically scribes any book you read from this point onwards creating an index for easy reference. You can have full recall of all books you read.
You are also given a Long Las with scope. A bunch of power packs and 4 hot shot power packs.
Jael:
Rogue Trader Bram’s Incendary Pistol
2 rounds only then the pistol must be recharged (it doesn’t have ammo as such). It can be recharged by plugging it into a power source. The tech priest can recharge it off his body in about 10-15 minutes.
You can also start to spend xp on the Blade of Gabrielle. This will heighten your bond with the relic. I’ll email details of this separately.
Xantius:
A Plasma Pistol from Harloock’s Horde – Provenance Unknown.
Best Quality (
10% to hit, + 1 damage and Reliable, also does not overheat). This is included in the stat line. You have 2 clips for it and won’t be able to get any new clips (it is not a pattern that is on the market). Each clip can be recharged with a power source. Your tech priest can do it in about 20-30 minutes per clip.
Thaddius:
Maar’s Omnissiahian Power Axe
Acts as a staff that you can walk about with, but as a free action it will deploy a power blade from the cog end of the staff. It also has a combi toolkit inbuilt into the head.
Gaius:
Badge of office and Inquisitorial Legate Seal.
+20 to Intimidate an Imperial citizen (ineffective on enemies of the inquisition)
+10 to Interrogate an Imperial citizen.
Makes you the leader of the acolyte group.
Maxim:
A Beautifully Crafted Bolt Pistol from Rigel VII
Counts as Good. Clips are 8 in size and for no cost to you Masters will supply you with enough for 3 clips at the outset of every mission. Any more ammo and you must purchase it yourself using your own funds. In Ostia it is relatively simple to get hold of bolt ammo for the book price.

Mission 4

Game information:
Reading the book:
Anyone can read the Aemilius Codex. It costs 100xp. You get Forbidden lore (Daemonology) as a BASIC skill. You also get 2 corruption points.
Warp Shock (p238 main rules):
Anyone who failed their FEAR check against the warp creature gains 3 corruption points from warp shock. You only gain it once even if you failed the fear check both times. (Everyone but Josh)
Legate Investigator:
Niall can become a Legate Investigator (p64 Inquisitors hand book) if you wish.
Trusted Acolytes:
All Acolytes that have completed 4 successful missions are now Trusted Acolytes. Although it gives no external authority it does means you loosely outrank acolytes.
Adrian:
There were a few times you wanted to use your eye to record stuff, take picts (photos) etc… If you wish you can have more surgery!!! YAY! Medicus can install a device which will be an interface so you can plug in a dataslate to your eye. You can then review, record, download, enhance, photoshop and show other people anything you have seen. If later you got other senses too you’d be able to analyse those as well. You can also have thermal imaging and magnification (like magnoculars) installed at the same time.
Niall:
For your service to the Arbites and Inquisiton you are awarded an exceptional Ostian Arbites Shotgun, It is made by the artisan family Obel who are superb gunsmiths.
In game terms it is a “Good” combat shotgun (gains reliable). It also can fire solid slugs as well as shot shells. Meaning you can use any SP ammo types. They must be custom made in Ostia and cost double. You must also be very clear about the ammo types you have loaded. (shooting SP rounds you obviously lose the Scatter ability but gains 1 damage). Finally IF you brace first you can fire it FA (6). So its RoF is S/3/6. If you don’t brace you automatically miss, but can still use it for suppression…
Josh:
As a thank you for your work in purging the horror in St Ophelia’s your Order gives you a new (well old) sword. The Blade of Gabrielle. The honour is enormous, and you now have a duty to preserve the magnificent relic as well as fight the forces of the enemy.
In game terms it is a Best quality sword (
10 to hit, +1 to damage) it is also a blessed item, which means its damage is HOLY (doubles against warp creatures). It is a mono sword (not primitive 2 penetration)
Richard:
You are given a new armoured body glove. It is very light, with a hood and covers all your body if you pull the hood up. In game: it acts as an armoured body glove with chameleon coating. It has:
• It has 3 armour on LEGS ARMS and TORSO, and if you pull the hood over 2 on HEAD.
• Elemental protection to resist cold and hot (arctic to desert) giving you +20 on survival checks to resist bad conditions.
• It has a chameleon coating which gives +20 to any concealment checks against normal sight and thermal imaging. Doesn’t work if you wear clothes over it.
• It has dampening in it which reduces the sounds of the wearer giving +10 to all Silent Move checks.
You also get a sound suppressor for your auto pistol. (in game as silencer).
