[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 8390625, member: 7025557"] I don't know if much of this will make sense, as I abridged the backstories. In addition to the group sessions, we did a fair number of individual sessions to start and then more individual sessions during downtime (players can choose from different downtime activities, from crafting to seeking items, to doing individual sessions to explore beats from the main story or from their own individual story lines). Here is what Jovan did in between the first and second adventures: Indi Sessions: [IMG]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sUG-g_3n6rD6R4Ak-RyJB2pJBWGFNdqIRFB9n6umr6wOcD487VBVn24z-qoCFgD-XtwI3eOGidTcQN1lgNxLxv_27nfWuZ3Jg2Fx1prHGfCBkWyXHlQ1Hhajf_Q_yoI0f9wp-Hy=s0[/IMG] My conversation with Gyldiel went ok. I expressed my confusion over his hesitation in taking the deal that could have saved the Duchess. He told me, in of the day, he didn’t believe it was a real offer and wanted to buy time to see if there was another way out of this. I understand his thoughts now at least. If I were in his shoes, I think I would have taken the deal as it seemed our only hope. But, at least I understand what he was thinking. My conversation with Delft also went ok. I told him of my concerns over Gyldiel and asked if there was anything I should know that might help me better handle Gyl as a teammate. I could tell there was pain in Delft’s eyes when I asked that question and he answered simply, “Gyldiel needs time. He’s had a tough past. I watch him, be patient, but perhaps avoid situations where he’s making decisions for the entire team.” Sensible enough… Delft also told me there had been another Ragman killing. But, it didn’t follow the line the others had toward Cauldron Hill. It was almost like he was starting over just East of the original starting place. Not sure what to make of that… I left and went to meet Graphine [sister of another PC who was an illustrator trying to become a newspaper reporter] who had sent me a request. When I arrived, she told me it was time to celebrate. She had been hired at the Flint Tribune! Her work had got her noticed. This was good. We talked about a few other things, including the Ragman and then I gave her a gift. I’d worked on some sketches of the battle at Axis Island. I was a bit surprised to learn news of it hadn’t made it out at this point. There were far too many involved for this to not become known. I answered a few questions for her about what went on and she thanked me for this scoop. Last, I told her I was looking for some property in a remote location and she told me she had a real estate friend she could set me up with. I gladly accepted and we had a meet up scheduled for the following day. In the meantime, I went back to the RHC and asked around about a crime organization known as “The Family.” They were the ones who’d left me a card before I joined the RHC. We had a few files on them. Their leader was a man named Morgan Cippiano. They’d come at odds with Lorcan Kell and his guild here recently. Perhaps that’s the connection… perhaps Kell’s men were sent to kill me and Morgan saved me in order to buy a favor later. Not sure I look forward to having that called upon… Anyway, the following day, I met my agent, Missy Ferrel who was going to show me property in the hamlets just outside the Cloudwood and then a final property pretty high up in the Cloudwood. The properties in the hamlets weren’t too interesting. They were a little more expensive than I was looking for and they were too close to people. The last property though was right in line with what I was hoping for. It was rustic and needed some repairs but it was a lot of land and the house was big enough for my purposes. I told her to put in an offer. But, on the way back down, we were ambushed by bandits. They were pretending to be travelers in an overturned wagon. But, when I walked closer to see if I could help, they jumped us. Our carriage driver was hit and killed. I dropped a fog cloud and took out two of them in short order. A third fell soon after. But, the last one tried to jump on and drive our carriage off. He hit me with the horses and I barely rolled away to avoid the wheels. Missy jumped out and I dove from above him on the rocks down to the carriage. He tried to knock me off but failed and fell prone at my feet.

I dropped Missy off and took the survivors to the RHC. They seemed simple thieves and crime has been up in the Cloudwood. I found out a few days later my offer on the property was accepted.
