The Fighting Pit

While Lyra and Derriel recovered, the void pirates scoured the bars of Toxfall looking for more bodies before they set out again. Finally they met Karith Ryt, a malformed downhive mutant who, despite his scales and tail, was a crack shot with his boltgun.

With some more firepower in board, the crew set out for the fighting pits on the edge of Toxfall. However they were quickly ambushed by another band of privateers, the infamous Colonel Reynolds and his "Fethers". 

Realising the strength of their opponents, who sported an Ambot, grenade launcher and rattling snipers, the Void Pirates took up defensive positions on a tall building and placed a frag trap on the only approach, then shooting and hiding as Reynolds'crew advanced. 

Despite the Ambot, which soaked up a lot of bolter and plasma pistol fire from the pirates, the Fethers lost 2 early on and then bottled after Colonel Reynolds himself was seriously injured by a shotgun round from the Sarge.

Having taken control over the area of the Fighting Pits, the crew found an unexpected benefit as two hive scum emerged from the shadows to offer their services to such a powerful crew. The Seneschal, seeing their potential as meat shields if nothing more, accepted their offer.

Qaros Nebir had taken been injured in a close up brawl, guarding the rear approach to the platform. However the remaining crew were unscathed, and in high spirits as they returned to Toxfall to meet up with Lyra and Derriel before heading out on another Genestealer hunt.
