[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 5868937, member: 79141"] [b]Personnel Change[/b] The reintroduction last week of the character of Matunaaga, and the unit's meeting with the paranoid Karl Krauss sees a major line-up change for the group. One player, who joined us in a hurry before Christmas (when I had to end another long-running campaign due to time constraints) finally brought in his full-time character. He had played Saaladoor Saan - an NPC I introduced to provide the unit with a link to the Dockers and who turned out to be an RHC agent; then he played Azure Lord Blackthorn, simply to have some fun playing a pixie berserker. His new character first came into the story when Korrigan went recruiting to replace El Perro. We decided it would be fun if the coolest candidate turned Korrigan down, only to show up later having had a change of heart. Matunaaga is an assumed name. His real name is Caji Dobra, and he is a member of an elite fighting force known as the [I]maustin caji[/I] - similar to the gurkha - who live in the eastern Anthras mountains. The [I]maustin caji[/I] served the Kings of Risur until the last Yerasol campaign, when King Aodhan's adoption of modern warfare caused them to withdraw to their ancestral home. (They believe there is no honour in aerial bombardment or gas attacks and happily fought against the Danorans because they employed such tactics, but were horrified when Risur did the same.) The man now known as Matunaaga remained behind because he had fallen in love with a Risuri woman named Ayasha - one of the tribespeople of Cloudwood who had travelled to Yerasol voluntarily to heal the sick and the wounded. (Contrary to expectations, she is a powerfully built and maternal, not some slinky fantasy maiden.) Together they have had six children and the ex warrior now spends his days fishing with cormorants beneath a beautiful waterfall. He politely declined Korrigan's offer to join the RHC. But his wife (a skyseer) had a vision when the unit had left, in which Matunaaga's ancestors confirmed that Korrigan was worthy of his service. And so, with her encouragement, he came to Flint. The second addition to the party will not be a full unit member. An old player returned to the UK from LA quite unexpectedly. He had been a core member of our group for years, so we were all keen to involve him. So we came up with this paranoid survivalist type called Karl Krauss, a man who believes that the upper echelons of Risuri society are involved in a conspiracy controlled by the Deep Ones. (He came up with that himself. I like the fact that it will provide a total red herring when the Ob is initially revealed.) His involvement in the buffer adventure is fairly straightforward, but his knowledge of aberrant creatures will see him called in by the unit once again when [I]Digging For Lies[/I] unfolds. [/QUOTE]
