the fifth scenario of my new rogue trader campaign I played this Sunday.
Background
borderline world of Issus (called "Somewhere" by the settlers): an isolated farm
Abraham was busy with his hard work, the sheeps needed their meal and his son was with him as usual.
Then his routine was interrupted by an unexpected visit: the Priest of the Church.
The priest seemed tired, as he was running away from someone, Abraham offered to him some fresh water.
Magus:
"May the Patriarch bless you, brother Abraham! I really needed some fresh water... I'm sorry to disturb you and your beautiful family, but I'm in trouble, a crazy harlequin kidnapped me and I was lucky enough to flee... but now he is chasing me, and maybe could arrive some imperial unbelievers too... I contacted some of my brothers, but they could arrive too late to rescue me... please, I ask your hospitality!"Abraham could not ignore a direct request by the priest, as many other cultists he was a devout believer.
Abraham:
"Sure, you could stay in my modest house and there waiting your brothers... You are our guest now..."Then, after the priest left him, Abraham returned to his work, while his three arms son affectionately smiled at him with his sharp teeth...
