Sell knives, go to chruch and ask about the cathedral and the phenomena.
You sell all five of your throwing knives for 25 Thrones.
You search the Pits for a church of some sort and eventually locate a crowd. At the center of it is a bearded man, his brown robe marked by hard times and two locals holding a large book open in front of him.
"...Thy Golden Throne, and Thy Death,
By Thy destruction and re-emergence as the god of Men,
Keep and strengthen us, we who fight for thee."
The people of the crowd make the sign of the aquila on their chests and begin to disperse as the preacher takes the book and begins to wrap it in chains. He looks up and sees you.
"Blessings upon you, fellow servant of the Emperor."
You ask him about the cathedral.
"Ah, yes. Stern Hope. I hear that the Abbot has gathered a couple of hundred to his flock. It is truly fortunate that the local clans have not attacked them. Truly a sign of His grace."
You try to hint at the phenomena, not wishing to spread rumours yourself, but it appears the preacher does not know anything about them.
>Discreetly study those Ashleen fellows whilst nursing my drink and chatting to Allion.
The Ashleen don't do anything unusual and soon get up to leave.
Walk around the pit, listen for anything important about rebels, traitors or rogue psykers. Pay close attention to peoples reactions near me when I'm within 3 meters, if any become very uncomfortable when I'm close then back off and observe them.
You walk through the Pits and though people seem to be looking at you strangely and speaking in hushed tones, nobody acts particularly unusual. You hear something that might be relevant.
"...took a herd up to Stern Hope a few weeks back, said he'd never go back. The drove, lost half his hand to bad water and Shale Crows and didn't see a living soul crossing the wastes, not one. There was something else too but he wouldn't say, too frightened or reckoned we'd call him a fool on it. Anyway, he just sold up and headed south to throw in with Seth's lot."
Sell Amasec and using part of the funds from the Seer, buy the Poor Flak Greatcoat (Arms, body, legs 4) for 75 Thrones. Wear new clothes and put on the Greatcoat, subsequently selling the Mesh Vest and checking how much it would cost to get the Greatcoat to (Common) quality.
You manage to sell the flask of amasec to a curious merchant for 55 Thrones and try to sell him your mesh vest. After a short argument where you assure him that it really is stronger than a flack vest despite being much lighter, he finally buys the vest for 150 Thrones. You buy a poor quality flack greatcoat for 75 Thrones and the merchant, still inspecting the vest, tells you that somebody could fix it up for 75 Thrones.
Mira compared the quality and structure of the Sabre {Good} to the Sword she owned while at the merchant stalls, asking if there are any Swords the merchant had in storage.
Check if I have any of the following (and their quality if any): Gas Mask, Camouflage, Backpack, Filtration Plug (and its use from the stall), and how a PLCE works.
Buy a Gas Mask, Common Clothing, Common Backpack and a pack for my lasgun.
((You do not have any of the equipment))
You buy a gas mask, local clothing, a backpack and a lasgun power pack for 60 Thrones. You examine the sabre, it appears to be slightly easier to wield than your sword and slightly lighter, and ask about any swords the merchant might not be displaying and he checks for you. He brings up what appears to be a cane, a strange short-sword made of crescents.
1 Swordstick Cane (Good) 150
1 Sigilite (Common) 85
You think back to your training to remember what a PLCE is:
The PLCE is tactical webbing system work across the body, and allowing a comfortable distribution of readily available equipment. It consists of a belt, yoke (shoulder harness) and a number of pouches, pockets, holsters and strapping rings. The PLCE webbing incorporates is a series of other load carrying equipment and strapping. The purpose of PLCE is to hold everything needed in a readily accessible location. While wearing the PLCE, you can make a challenging (+0) Agility test. If successful, you can take a single Ready action in a turn as a free action rather than a half action.
The party notes that the sun is beginning to set.
