Sorry, the last few days have been pretty bad. I've joined on the basketball team. Before this, the most physical exercise I've had is walking from my house to my car. It's been a rough two days.
Your conversation is interrupted by the soft scraping sound of a cleverly disguised door sliding open revealing a hall constructed in the same style as your current holding room.
As your heads turn to look through the opening a figure emerges. He has brown hair and his eyes are the same color. What skin you can see is white, but not overly so. It seemed reasionable to estimate his height at somewhere around 6 feet. His face wore an expression of shear blankness. In short he was the kind of man you wouldn't think twice about if you met him in the street; that is except for the gold suit of power armor and the Inquisitorial ring on his finger.
As he steps forward into the room 5 Inquisitorial Storm Troopers file through the door. They form up into a semicircle behind him. He sweeps his head slowly around the room glancing at each one of you in turn. His expression reminds you of a man evaluating goods he intends to purchase. Once he finishes his sweep of the room he shakes his head almost imperceptibly. Just as if he compared you all to some measure and found you wanting.
For the first time he speaks, his voice a flat uninflected monotone. Whoever this man is, he seems completely emotionless.
"Each here has betrayed the Immortal Emperor. If there was any justice in this galaxy, you would all be dead for what you have done. However, powers beyond my control have decreed you all be given a final chance to perhaps gain some measure of forgiveness for your sins. Emperor knows I don't condone their action."
His hand strays to the holster on his hip.
"You have a choice; accept your chance of repentance and perhaps die with some measure of forgiveness. Or die here, like dogs, by my hand."
I really haven't had much experience with this. Are my descriptions sounding ok? I've tried to make this guy as unlikeable as possible.

"But they should consider this, he quietly says, should a man who has wronged the Emperor be allowed to wrong him further? For each man executed is a man who can no longer serve, and to fail in service to the Emperor is the greatest of sins." Gregory says. And the inquisitor should know from where that came from. I have always done my best to serve the interests of the Imperium, I don't want to stop now. He blinks and stands up straight as best as he can, I'm in
I've been playing my 40K video game most of today and I have to say that he certainly sounds just about right. Oh and that quote is from Leman Russ., though I left off the part about penal battalions. If you want me to roll for it go ahead but I hope I can just go with it the way its written.

It's ok, you can just go with it. I don't mind freeform roleplaying. I'm going to wait until everyone has a chance to post before I continue further.

Nerra's excitement fades as her fellows seem less than enthused by her offer, but so does her disappointment, leaving her as dispassionate as one can be, under the circumstances. She keeps her counsel to herself; at least until the Inquisitor and Gregory are done with their back and forth anyways.
"I can still serve the Glorious Star Emperor?" She queries, sounding puzzled and then happy with her follow-up, "Of course I wish to do so!"
OOC: Descriptions are fine so far. It's an acquired skill, the more you do it, the better you'll be. I'd say after a few weeks, look back over this thread and see what we ask for clarification on most frequently, then try to include those things up-front. That method is how I learned myself, seems to work.

'Forces beyond your control' I'm sure. If ya gonna lie to us, at least make it plausible. Somethin' like this.
But of course, He says brightly. What more could any loyal servant of the Emperor ask for than the chance to lay down their life in His service? For those who make the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of mankind are forever blessed in the name the Emperor.
Hope I didn't overdo that.

Just in case you're wondering, I'm not posting replies because this guy doesn't much care what you say. To him, it basically amounts to "yes" or "no". Once all 4 of you give your answer, he'll continue.

I'll accept that generous offer and will give my best to follow the right and just way of the Emperor.
My head still hurts from partying so just a quick answer to keep things moving. You're doing fine dementedwombat I really enjoy playing here so far.

After your replies have been made, the Inquisitor nods slightly and speaks quickly into a small speaker built into the collar of his armor
This is Inquisitor Karrack exiting cell block 101 with the convicts. I need a transport shuttle prepared immediately.
He then stands still for a few seconds, presumably listening to a reply.
He speaks again, this time directed at you. His voice now a tone of command
Get a move on convicts! We don't have all day.
The soldiers split ranks, now forming a line on each side of the door. The Inquisitor strides out of the room.

Gregory looks around and begins to follow the inquisitor out assuming the storm troopers don't interfere.

Aside from some choice insults, the guards let you pass without interference. As soon as everyone exits, they form up into a line behind you, guns at the ready.
