Clash at Kharon’s Wake 2- Grimm Omens campaign

 

Grimm had made planet fall at Kharon’s Wake.  The Intel he had ripped from the mind of the Watch Knight Librarian had suggested that his contacts from the Black Legion that he had been sent to link up with were here.  A destroyed fortress sat on the plain.  Grimm would envelope it sending the Grave Tithe Colossus around one side while he led a second force around another.  Warp portals and storms wracked the plain.  Grimm sensed the coming daemon horde even as he detected Faint and distant Black Legion vox transmissions.

As the Defiler and the Bloodthirster battled on the other side of the ruined fortress Grimm spotted the daemon prince from Triton IV leading a hordes of daemons.  Grimm felt satisfaction at the chance to settle a score.  He ordered the vindicator to target his foe.  A belching of fire saw the vindicator fire.  The shell cast the daemon prince into the dirt a massive wound gaping from its torso.  Slowly it rose back unsteadily to it's hooves.  A group of frenzied bloodletters bounded ahead of the hordes and slammed into Grimm and his chosen.  A few of his chosen fell but in a flurry of wicked weapon strikes the bloodletters came apart and disapaited back into the warp.

The daemon prince flew up upon the ruins of the fortress and bellowed.  The hordes of daemons ran through the hail of fire the Black Legion laid down.  The rage of the Bloodthirster filled the air and sang a song of unchecked violence in the warp.

     "Grimm the feckles!" The daemon prince snarled, "I SHALL TAKE YOUR WORTHLESS HEAD AND GRIND YOUR SKULL TO POWDER BENEATH MY HEEL!"

  With that he leaped down despite his wounds to join in the carnage as a tsunami of daemons slammed into the Black legion.  Brutus the helbrute smashed apart daemons even as helblades tore gorges in his armored shell keeping them at bay.  The chosen hacked and slashed at the berserk daemons of khorne in a brutal and bloody melee.

The daemon prince slammed into Grimm driving him back.  Warpfire leapt from Grimm's eyes into the face of the daemon, blinding him.  The flashing axe of the daemon swung blindly and Grimm ducked beneath it.  Focusing all his power into his staff Grimm drove it like a spear into the daemon prince.  A howling of rage and despair ripped out of the daemon prince's throat as he melted back into unreality in defeat.  A sudden stillness struck the battlefield a moment later as the Bloodthirster fell to the grave Tithe Colossus Defiler.  As the daemon reeled from the loss and the power of the warp receded Grimm and the black legion struck hacking apart every daemon in reach.  In seconds the daemon’s vanished sucked back into the warp as the tide of the sea of souls drew back from its high tide.

With the battle won Grimm met with the Black legionnaires of Socratus the sorcerer.  The former thousand sons turned Black Legion had been sent by Abaddon to meet with Grimm.  Socratus had sent them to seek Grimm.  Grimm learned that Socratus and his remaing forcesbhad arrived at the shrine world of Vittoru but the planet was so warp ridden as to be uninhabitable.  The world of Vittoru had turned one of it's moons into a giant Ossuary for the faithful.  Socratus had made a base there and been holding off deamon incursions from the warp storm there as he defiled the site to corrupt relics.  Grimm was to join him there after aiding a new source of allies Socratus had encountered on the way.  The survivors of a Renegade knight houses had gone into the rift for sanctuary and were even now being hunted by rivals.  Grimm was to gather any scattered survivors of the house on his way to meet Socratus on the Ossuary moon of Vittoru.
