Sub-Plots2

The Ledger of the Condemned. Every witch-hunt is a tally, and the Inquisitor keeps his in a ledger of the burned and the executed. This sub-plot completes when your warband burns three covens — wins three Coven-Purge battles — and executes a named enemy psyker or cult-leader Champion, taking one Out of Action with a condemnor or as the marked heretic. When it does, the writ deepens for good: for the rest of the campaign your Sororitas requisition slot caps are each raised by one, and you may take one witch-bane relic at one availability step cheaper. Claimed only once.

The Recidivist. Sometimes the heretic slips the noose. If a fighter you have named with the Mark of the Heretic survives a battle you lose, ending it not Out of Action, it escapes to become a recurring nemesis — returning in the enemy gang, battle after battle, for the rest of the campaign. When you finally run the recidivist down and take it Out of Action in a later game, the debt is paid: one native fighter may take a Hereticus signature skill for free, and you bank two favour rolls. But while it runs free, the failure gnaws — the warband loses one reputation at each campaign milestone until the recidivist is caught.
