The messenger moved to the side of Cortez, drawing his laspistol and looking over at his companion.  "Guess we're in for it, eh friend?"  He asked, as a drop of blood flowed from his hood.  Meanwhile, the cultist across from Traak squeezed the trigger on his rifle and started filling the air around him with lead, accidentally shooting his friend.  Several bullets punctured the already bleeding cultist's body, causing him to hemorrhage even more blood, and go down in a crumpled heap.  The astropath didn't even seem to notice what was going on, still asking if the group wanted the message repeated and obliviously repeating advertisements.  The blind man's mind was clearly elsewhere.  It must be a nice place.<br/><br/>Two of the cultists with chainswords charged towards Traak, slicing into him with their blades.  The first didn't even have a chance, but the second was barely able to slice his chainsword into Traak.  (Traak takes 11 points of damage to the body, pen 2)<br/><br/>Another of the other two cultists dashed into the meeting room and threw a frag grenade at the table Baromir, Thraxius, and Sarah were hiding behind, while the other one threw a smoke grenade into the room, filling it with obscuring smoke.  (subsequent ballistic attack rolls suffer a -20 penalty, Baromir is hit on right arm for 5 damage (after cover) the table is destroyed by the grenade, leaving only Cortez, Delila, and the Messenger in cover)<br/><br/>(Traak needs to make a willpower test at -20 or be pinned, though he automatically escapes pinning at the end of his turn since he's engaged in melee combat)<br/><br/><br/>Initiative Order:   (agility bonus in parenthesis)<br/><br/>Thraxius 12 (3)<br/>Melee Cultists 12 (3)<br/>Baromir 9 (3)<br/>Cortez 7 (3)<br/>Sarah 8 (5)<br/>Messenger 7 (4)<br/>Traak 6 (5)<br/>Delila 6 (3)<br/>Chaos Gun Cultist 5 (3)<br/>Astropath 0 (3)
