Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

[Old One]

This latest update is great but also makes me cringe a bit. It's precisely the sort of rat-bastardly thing I've done to my players countless numbers of times. But, having primarily been in the player's chair for the last year, it also is the kind of thing that makes you throw up your hands in despair. Like, "Just for ONCE couldn't we kill the bad guys and then have the local lord pat us on the back and say 'Good job! Now help yourselves to a hot bath and fluffy towels!'"

But what fun would that be?

(I guess they at least got the hot bath part)

Rel,

Yeah...I have heard muttered curses including my name and "Pyyrhic Victory" more than once. To which I gloatingly reply, "You want a happy ending? Go buy a children's book. Oh, by-the-way, roll a spot check!"

C'mon...what do they want from a RBDM?

Quintus? Talk? What?

I agree.

Can't wait to see how Quintus and the gang talk their way out of this conundrum.

BH -

Quintus is usually quite glib...but sometimes his mouth moves faster than his brain !

Hehe...

Dang, right back into the masterful political mastermind that is Old One. Though I expected a trial (or at least a sentencing) in that update I didn't see the scum of a mage coming at all. Brilliant.

Oh, and Rel, what would it take to get a copy of that program? Assuming its small enough for transfer and it's legal for you to share.

Lela,

Quintus's player Corey mentioned something about strangling his new familiar for failing to give the proper warning before they were taken in the boats, but I rolled abysmally low on Serverus's spot check. Remember, the party still has a 10,000 denarii price on their collective heads for the murder of Acrius Sestius (Antoinine's grandson).

Ouch, no I didn't remember. But now I do. Ouchies.

Lela, I think that sentence could have been a quote from one of the players, eh?

True, but somehow I doubt Rose would say "Ouchies."

I don't really want to spam this thread with too many bumps, but page 3 is too much

Thanks, DL...

Busy travel schedule over the next several weeks...I really need to get caught up...'cause the crew has gotten themselves into and out of and into some amazing trouble over the last several sessions !
