[Session 66, cont'd] Dame Brionna detects evil, and gets inconsistent results—sometimes detecting evil, sometimes not. Dame Constance says, "If you need to summon the Librarian, let me know. He owes me a favor." Asked which Librarian, she says, "I was thinking of the Librarian of Dis."...

[session 66, cont'd] Two figures, both with silver sheens over their shifting monstrous features, are attacking the front gate. One of them is advancing on the gate, holding a long high glass sword that seems to be shifting in and out of reality. The other is just concentrating, but probably...

Session 24 (April 25, 2021) 9 Ta-Ghast In the morning, Noah suggests that they not get diverted from the main mission of destroying the bone dust, because that will weaken the cultists more than trying to ferret out a small group of cultists here. The rest of the group agrees, and they leave...

[Session 65, cont'd] The Council discusses the matter; they presumably have a traitor among the royal scribes—the paper, the seal—too many things that indicate access to the royal scriptorium. The Privy Secretary was corrupt, with unseelie ancestry. The faceless one could be a sluaghe—they’re...

Yup, absolutely. A bunch of what I'll describe as the demonology of Aphonion is derived from Tekumel materials. The DM occasionally runs EPT one shots and has some stories about playing with MAR Barker back in the day (at cons and things, not in his regular games). I'm not sure whether in...

[session 64, cont'd] Kit goes to talk to the Guild. The Guildmaster says that he suspects Jerrit the Ferret is the most likely suspect—good enough to do that work, and then desperate for money. He has a drinking problem, so he can’t hold a job with the merchant houses. Also, he might be hooked...

Session 21 (January 23, 2021) 28 Zar The group heads to the sanitarium where the son of House Fooblu is. The city was once greater than it is now, but it’s still a major city. The sanitarium seems unusually large for a city this size. An attendant with a sun disk symbol greets them. “Checking...

Session 22 (March 14, 2021) 3 Ta-Ghast Noah shares his plan to retrieve the bone dust. It is, suffice to say, half-baked. Much zaniness ensues involving a talking cheese, that may or may not be faked by Ravokris as a prank. While this is going on, a flock of stirges sneak up and attack. The...
