Session 226, Part One - Several Impossible Things Before Lunchbreak Several Impossible Things Before Lunchbreak Just three days after the events in Alais Primos, King Baldrey held an extraordinary council meeting in Torfeld Palace. It would have been sooner, but outside agents had been...

Once every couple of days is the current schedule, although there'll be a long break in late July/August, most probably. Cheers for that. I wasn't sure how successful it had been from an outside perspective. For me, it's a small victory to have blended all these threads together finally...

Heh. I was going to call the chapter "No more Mister Nice Spider", but figured that would give the game away. They're still nice, though. Just helping to save the children. :angel: On reflection, I think this development must have been inspired by the Tachikoma in the Ghost in the Shell TV...

Session 225, Part Four - Unexpected Help Unexpected Help Well aware of the historic parallels, Korrigan could not decide whether to head for the Hunch or for the summit. Even in this light, and at this distance, he could see something large up there. He used his mind’s eye to take a closer...

We did! Just a passing visit, but we squeezed it in there. Not as complicated, but better written.

Session 225, Part Three - Trail of Filth Determined to handle the matter without recourse to the unit, Korrigan nonetheless levelled with Harkover Lee, unable to explain his continued absence in any other way. He gave the Principal Minister strict instructions not to share the situation with...

Thanks. A nice example of necessity being the mother of invention. Well, sort of. I had the idea for this, or for something similar, but couldn't see how I could get it to play out with a full complement of players. Then circumstances threw up the following: Korrigan's player was out for two...

Session 225, Part Two - First Stop, Shale For any number of reasons, Shale was chosen as King Baldrey’s first port of call. It was the epicentre of naval activity, home to Duchess Ethelyn (whom Harkover still mistrusted), and often the focal point of dissent and rebellion. The night before he...

Poor writing on my part - Korrigan meant that no one would miss Cauldron Hill, not Av!

Session 225, Part One - Recall to Risur Recall to Risur Though the diplomatic mission to Drakr had been successful in the short term, Korrigan was well aware that the Ob retained overall control and would regain the initiative in time. (The same applied to Ber, with the whimsical Bruse Shantus...

A Dizzzying Anti-climax I thought I would add a glimpse of what went on behind the scenes of our last session, because it was both surprising and interesting: Before embarking on this section of the adventure I noticed that pretty much whatever the players do during the trial - whether they...

Session 224, Part Three - A Final Act of Zealotry A Final Act of Zealotry After a meditative ascent, they reached the cathedral. Vitus waited at the balcony, flanked by templars, monks, and angels. Legate Tullius advanced and briefly whispered to Vitus. He contemplated what he had heard for a...

Session 224, Part Two - Advocatus Piscatorius Advocatus Piscatorius Arriving in the Plaza Hyperion early, they took up their places on the makeshift stage as the crowds began to gather in earnest. They waited for Legate Tullius to make her grand entrance, most focused on the task in hand...

Session 224, Part One A last-minute change of heart Ashima-Shimtu’s blood magic brought them to a secluded cove just down the coast from Alais Primos. They were surprised to find the demoness was still with them. She was able to wade towards the shore unaided. Wading out of the water, they...

Something like this, then? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5YW4qKOAVM

Okay, so we DMs know how the PCs are getting back from the Gyre, but how do they think they are doing it? I don’t think my players will be happy about going if the trip is theoretically one way.

Session 223, Part Four - The Hammer and the Hook Welcome back. Here's a bit more for you to catch up on: The Hammer and the Hook Once again, they came to the chamber of Ashima-Shimtu, and passed through the broken entrance hall with her sinister voice ringing in their heads: “This island...

Session 223, Part Three - Racing Angels Racing Angels The critic angels led the way, fluttering through the vault in one huge swarm that split apart so scores could scout each of the vault chambers. Like locusts, they stripped and destroyed smaller items, and carried off those beyond their...

Session 223, Part Two - Third or Fourth or Fifth Time Lucky Once again they stood on the shoreline of Odiem, looking up at the lighthouse/chapel. The Family had got them to Sid Minos with a teleportation circle; Fourmyle Jaunting and Leon’s portals had got them the rest of the way. Who among...
