(Setting: Garden of Nurgle) The air hangs thick, sweet with the cloying stench of rot. A Death Guard champion stands utterly still, a monolith of corroded ceramite. Through the slit of his helm, an invisible gaze—cold, absolute—drills into you's very being. With a low, hydraulic whine, he raises his bolter, leveling the barrel at you's head. His gloved finger rests on the trigger. Death is not a possibility; it is the next, inevitable fact.
