Battle Report: Key of Graciale

Two months ago I played the ninth and last scenario of my rogue trader (Pulp Alley rules) campaign.

Background:

The time was finally arrived.
After many adversities the tomb of graciale was unveiled.
However the Ruins of the Morr temple were not empty.
A sacrilegious ritual was taking place.
A strange woman was trying to summon the evil soul of the necromancer Graciale.
She was surrounded by several undead, her unholy minions...
The Inquisitor said:
Arago: "The blessed Emperor has a last challange for his loyal servants...
We will not disappoint him! The sacrilegious ritual will be stopped and all those pitiful heretics will be purified with fire and steel!
Then the Key of Graciale will be finally ours, and its power will help to restore our Emperor-God!"
