Genestealer Ambush

The crew headed out of Toxfall in good spirits, with Mary and the Sarge scouting ahead. Moving beyond the fighting pits they had cleared a few days previously, they moved into a sector famous for its gambling dens.
The Sarge quickly spotted a group of Genestealers moving through the area, and the crew deployed to ambush them. They were caught almost completely by surprise, other than cultist known as Lugdush who spotted the approaching void pirates.
Battle was joined quickly as the Genestealers realised they were surrounded. Moonface took down two with the heavy stubber as they tried to escape. Mary managed to stun a hulking aberrant with a photon flash flare before stabbing it in the back with her stiletto sword.
On the other side of the gambling dens, things went less well for Harkathnut's crew. Father Derriel and Boruss Vyelbane came face to face with the cult leader and failed to take him down. Derriel was hit in the back with a bone sword, suffering a spinal injury, while Boruss was taken down by the cult leader's needle pistol. Lyra attempted to reach them using her get lines but was too late.
Before shooting off on her grappling hook, Lyra tossed an incendiary charge into the middle of the Genestealers lair. She managed to set a cultist alight, who was then dropped by a shot from the Seneschal's long rifle and put out of his misery by the Sarge, administering a coup de grace with the butt of his shotgun.
Finally the crew decided to call it a day, though not before their newly-hired gun, Franz Scummer, sacrificed himself charging an Aberrant. Both of the hive scum died in the battle, though the crew quickly realised that there were more lurking in the shadows of the fighting pits who would offer their services to the crew.
After the last couple of remaining Genestealers had slunk away, the crew collected proof of their kills and headed back to Toxfall to cash in their finds, happy with a good days work.
