Yes, it was a fun, flavourful player-driven extension of the narrative. Korrigan has been working on this in the background for a long time - since his days courting journalists and politicos in Flint, but more pointedly since Sentacore came on board. It was nice to see it all come to fruition.

Session 219, Part Two - A Rare Opportunity for Reflection Gupta wished that Uriel and Leon were there, so she could talk to them about religious belief in general and Vekeshi Mysticism in particular. She tried to talk with Thurgid about it – about being the forward arm of a religious movement...

Session 219, Part One - Glacial Chase Over the course of time, it became clear that they would only gain on the doomsday army very slowly, by virtue of the fact that Uru could man their sled-ship on his own (with the aid of his ghostly friends) and so could continue overnight while the army was...

Session 218, Part Four - The Snowy North One of the ancient bastions of Drakr’s might, the city of Bhad Ryzhavdut and its famed tower fortress had for centuries guarded traffic along the Volgir River, where frigid mines in the Shawl Mountains fed ore to the eastern sea. The Avery Coast Rail...

Session 218, Part Three Conference Following a sending to Harkover Lee to inform him of developments, they arranged for the king’s key advisors to teleport on to the Coaltongue as it flew back to Flint. Lauryn Cyneburg, Viscount Price-Hill, Stover Delft and Sebastian Harlock attended in...

Congratulations, Greg Spanier, you have won a bonus reward! Innwung the Pickle Vendor has been immortalized in song. (Or should I say preserved?)

Session 218, Part Two The Next 24 Hours Fireworks were going off throughout the city. There were celebrations in the streets below, as all at once the citizens of Ursalina found themselves free from the yoke of alien oppression. The Coaltongue descended to the harbour. Admiral Smith sent out...

Session 218, Part One Immediate Aftermath The maustin caji! “Your timing has never been more perfect, my friend,” King Baldrey responded. There was no time for a longer exchange. They helped all of their teammates to their feet, and organised an evacuation to the Coaltongue. Rumdoom shook...

I used these adventures in my Zeitgeist campaign. Love them. And those maps bring back memories for me too. I tried to write a fantasy novel when I was 12 - all about life on board a flying ship. Not having any idea of what a ship would look like, I used the map from U1 as the basis for my...

Session 217, Part Four Outside The frogspawn mass had fully enclosed the leviathan, which was already absorbing the psychic energies it required. Up close, it could be seen that the aboleth were all dead, having decayed within their cells. Their bodies were not required, only their immensely...

Session 217, Part Three Outside A vast, amorphous mass rose up from the water of the harbour, summoned by the ululations of the leviathan, which this mass entirely dwarfed. It looked like murky frogspawn, but magnified to a bewildering size. Within each cell hung a tadpole-like shape: an...

She’s got a wicked tongue, that Quratulain. Gives her guns and her swords a run for their money.

Session 217, Part Two Outside Panic had been caused throughout the city by the presence of the alien vessel, but at the docks it was particularly virulent. Overcrowded boats heaved under the weight of those who sought to flee. Many fell into the dark water. To protect the citizens of...

Oh, it gets worse...

Session 217, Part One Outside On the deck of the Coaltongue, Doran handed the unconscious Uru over to Ayesha. He advised her to keep Uru inside a sack, wrapped with rusty iron chains, inside a locked chest in a very brightly lit room. Instead, Ayesha dabbed her thumb in a pot of unguent at her...

Oh well. I had him come straight after Melissa, because she was a half-elf and they are long-lived. Dun't really matter, does it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uMGN1ayqBc

Is there definitely a monarch between Melissa (or whoever Lorcan names) and Aodhan?

Session 216, Part Two - Fighting in the Flesh Fens The fight raged on. Rumdoom went toe-to-toe with Quratulain. Glaucia was chained by the gidim, and thrown telekinetically into the acid bath. She teleported out, but straight into a newly formed mucus cloud. The freed shock trooper launched...

Session 216, Part One - In the Belly of the Beast Even before the gidim leviathan erupted from the Triunfo, Korrigan and his remaining allies were fighting to fend off reactive defences (such as mucus clouds, bioelectricity and mind control), mutated shock troopers, and other defenders Amielle...

Adventure 11, Act One, DM Notes This section of adventure 11 will go down in my personal ‘Annals of Misunderestimation’, second only to our seven-month run at Diaspora. I thought it would take three weeks! Uru would benefit from the sidebar that recognises Urban Empaths can sidestep most of the...
