>Agree. >Ask about the forces protecting the inquisitor. Are there other deathwatch here? Who is in her retinue.If he tells us the truth, then we have a tactical advantage. If not, then we know for a fact that he's lying.
Pretty sure that this marine is a former member of the celestial lions chapter - his pauldron matches their chapter insignia to a tee.
These guys are imperial-fist successors who were almost wiped out following a power spat with the inquisition. While I'm still surprised that he just executed one of his SM squad-mates (not sure how cohesive deathwatch squads are; pretty sure a SM wouldn't kill a BB in his own chapter), his willingness to go against his employing inquisitor seems entirely reasonable given the history of his chapter.
Assuming that the conflict plays out - and the inquisitor dies here - having a loyalist SM testify in our favor might work to our advantage. Or it might not.
