The eleven-month gap between sessions meant that Fea-bella's player could not give a prologue (and no one else's PC was suffering any conditions or tax). Between the four of us (me GMing, and the players of Fea-bella, Golin and Telemere) we reminded ourselves of the events of past sessions, and then the PCs left their camp heading to the Forgotten Temple Complex (which was not a journey far enough to require the journey rules).We revisited Beliefs and Instincts:Golin did not change his Belief (Elves are unstable!) or Instinct (Fix stuff!), and wrote as his Goal Keep the Elves safe.Telemere maintained his Instinct (When I enter somewhere new, I check to see if I am being watched) but changed his Belief (from One should see things to their end to Persistence is folly). He wrote as a Goal To learn something about Kalamere, his brother and enemy.Fea-bella maintained both Instinct (Always scavenge for loot) and Belief (Only the rich get anywhere in this world - I must become rich!). I allowed holding off writing a Goal until the action for the session became a bit clearer.I rolled for weather, and got Blustery Winds. So I narrated the cold wind coming off the mountains, and then the rivulet running from the mountain side, which drew their attention to a boulder that they otherwise would not have noticed, that seemed as if it were blocking an entrance.There was debate at this point as to whether to investigate or go on to the Forgotten Temple Complex. Telemere won the debate (over the protestations of Fea-bella), and looked around to try and find another way in. His player succeeded at the Ob 5 Scout test necessary to spot the cleft above the boulder; and the PCs decided to take that way in.I'll write up what happened next in a new post.</blockquote>
