BeggarIt is nigh impossible to identify this horrendous spawn dressed in rags as a human being... or rather, a genetic anathema descended from human beings. The mutant's hideous appearance is complemented by brutal scars and a partially flayed face.
Beggar"How about buying yourself a pair of boots?" The beggar shows off his filthy legs and surprisingly decent boots... your boots.
YOU"I wish to apologise for our previous encounter."
BeggarThe beggar nods tensely. "If you're not about to rob me or kill me, I'm all for letting bygones be bygones."

YOU"Where did you get those boots?"
Beggar"They're from a stiff that was lying in the corpse dump... A friend of mine pinched 'em. And gave 'em to me. I didn't steal nothing, I swear!" His ugly face twists into a smug sneer.
YOU[Offer him a stimulant] "I'm buying those boots."
BeggarHe grabs the priceless offering, grins, and starts shaking with anticipation. "Much obliged! Very much! Goodbye to you, strong master/mistress!"

YOU"It pains me to behold how your faith has withered, son of the Imperium. Tell me, when you renounced His light, turned to lies and treachery, and, in doing so, became like xenos and heretics, was it worth it?"
BeggarThe beggar's eyes glaze over and his lower lip trembles. His mind is no longer here — his thoughts have turned inward. "I... I really did believe, once. Before I ended up here. And what am I now? I steal boots from corpses, I beg xenos and other scum for scraps. Throne damn it, what's become of me?"
BeggarAs if released from a feverish haze that clouded his eyes for years, he looks around in disgust. Full of determination, he takes off the boots and hands them to you. "Take them. I have a job to do. For too long have I suffered the mockery of those pale-faced beasts. It's time I paid them back for snuffing out my humanity. So long!" With an expression of grim resolve on his face, the beggar limps away from you.

YOU"Hand them over and leave before I take your head clean off!"
Beggar"Thank you! Thank you kindly for your mercy!" The beggar makes a swift exit, leaving behind a repugnant stench to remember him by.

YOU[Kill him] "To end a life as lightless as yours is a laudable deed."
BeggarThe beggar refuses to die easily. He is desperately clinging to his life, choking on his own blood. Eventually, his protracted agony reaches its end.

BeggarThe hideous mutant does not look as cocky as the last time you met. Armed and not bleeding from a hundred wounds, you must be a more formidable sight.

BeggarYou seem to have made an equally poor impression on the wretched beggar. He sizes you up and rasps, "You look like a groxpat. How're you still breathing with wounds like that?"
BeggarThe beggar's features are appalling to the point of being too offensive to look upon.
YOU"Hey! Those boots are mine!"
BeggarThe mutant casts a thoughtful look at his feet, spits on the ground, and says with confidence, "Don't think so."
YOU"What do you say to a trade? You will return my property and I will... give you something in exchange?"
Beggar"A trade? A trade works. Got any weapons?"
YOU[Offer him a stimulant] "I'll do you one better."
BeggarWith a crooked smirk, the mutant grabs the injector. "Oooh, a combat stimulant! The things you see when you use it! It might kill you, sure... but it's worth it!"
YOU"Hey! Those boots are mine!"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"I am in need of help."
BeggarThe mutant arches an eyebrow in bemusement. "Really? A gripping tale! And why should I give a crap?"
YOU"I'm begging you. I need shelter and the assistance of a healer."
BeggarThe beggar looks at you sceptically, thinks for a moment, and then nods. "Fine. Who else should help a hapless soul in this accursed place if not another hapless sap, right? Come, I'll take you somewhere safe." He beckons you to follow him...
Beggar...then something in his wrist clicks, and a long blade coated with something foul thrusts out of it. A moment later, the blade sinks into your flesh.
BeggarYou do not feel any pain — not yet, at least. You merely watch in surprise as a spray of crimson fans through the air. You do not know when your hand seized the beggar's throat. Your fingers clench around it of their own accord. The mutant's eyes go wide and a rattle escapes his reeking mouth.
BeggarHe dies before he can wound you again. You force yourself to release your grip on his crushed larynx. The pain finally reaches you through the veil of adrenaline, but the sensation is hardly shocking. What is another wound to you when your body is already suffering from a hundred just like it?
end of branch
YOU"Perhaps we can strike a deal?"
Beggar"You wanna trade? I've got things to trade." The beggar lifts his rags and you catch the dull glint of a pistol handle. "What've you got? Apart from your innards or whatever that thing is that keeps trying to fall outta your gut."
YOU[Offer him a stimulant] "Are you in the mood for recreation?"

YOU"Hand over everything you have on you."
BeggarThe beggar slowly pulls out the pistol from under his rags, holding it by the end of the barrel, and hands it to you. He grunts sullenly, "I don't got nothing else. What'd you expect?"
YOU[Shoot] "Much obliged."
Beggar"You b—" A neat hole forms squarely between the mutant's eyes.

YOU"Off with you."
BeggarThe mutant fixes you with a look of hatred and scurries away. As he leaves, you hear him hiss a torrent of familiar profanities that almost makes you feel as though you are back home in the Koronus Expanse.

Beggar"Yeah? Well, you had me fooled!" The beggar looks relieved and giggles obsequiously, then pulls out his own weapon, and points it at you. His smile is gone. "Now, what do you reckon? Am I just giving you a scare too? What'll you give me for not blowing your brains out?"
YOU[Give him a stimulant]

YOU[Charge at him]
BeggarYou manage to grab the beggar's weapon and turn it away from you. The two of you struggle for a time, grunting with the effort...

BeggarPerhaps if you had been holding your weapon from the start, you would have had a chance to beat the beggar to the draw. Instead, by the time you pull out your pistol, you are already staring down the barrel of the pistol in his hand. "Here's a lesson for you: it's considered bad taste in the spires to rummage for your weapon for too long. Except this lesson won't do you much good, unless you clear off right now."
YOU"My situation is desperate. I need shelter and a healer."
BeggarHe looks you up and down, then lowers his weapon slightly. "I understand. When the going gets tough, you can't afford to be picky. Come with me." The mutant beckons you to follow him...
