Report of Commissar Nihillus
+++460 M41 Commisar Nihilius+++
It was almost who days after the Acolytes entered the mines when there was a heavy explosion from within the mines. Commisar Nihillus waited another day, just to make sure the inquisition did its job. Only then did he ordered another squad of his men down in to the tunnels.
At the end of the day it was Edwin Yurtz found the remains of the Acolytes. both died in the explosion of the promethius tanks that were stored in the shatters. The Dataslate of Jericus somehow survived the explosion. The reports on the dataslate where short and sounded like they where written under great stress.
It seemed the encountered mutants of all sorts and there was heavy fighting. In the end Jericus left the heavily wounded Cimbria, and went forth to scout ahead. Later investigation by other inquisitors uncovered that there was indeed a new cult blooming in the depts of the mines. And that there were several bullet holes in the prometheus tanks that where probably the cause of the explosion.
Both Jerico and Cimbria where awarded a medal of valor fore there selfish sacrifice to kill the Heretics, and burn the witch, with minimal damage to the industry.

Review Shatterd Hope
We prepared to play the DEMO adventure Shattered Hope as published by Black Industries. We played the game with 3 persons and one was the GM. Bram and Maurice where playing 2 different characters as provided by the booklet. Maurice played with Jericus, and Bram played Cimbria.
Although the adventure was pretty well described, my players managed to get me to improvise. The rules where sufficient to get a feel of playing the game. The adventure was partitioned in three parts.
1)Role playing. The first part was plain old role playing. The checks where a little different but it seemed the players adapted well to there new environment. They knew little about the warhammer 40K universe, but the backgrounds seemed sufficient to play.
2)Tests and dangers.A little slow part. The obsticals were pretty where not so interesting. I would have experted a trap of some sort.
3)Tests and combat. I found the combat rather slow. It took more than 4 rounds to kill one of the mutants. Of course there where only two acolytes. But becouse i have no insight in other monsters, and we dont know how and if the stats of the humans will progress.
We will be playing this game again! See the shattered hope trailer
