[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 6190014, member: 79141"] [b]Session 89b - The Pixie Farm[/b] The mission had not gone according to plan. While the hideout had been stormed and taken, the unit had lost Sevitar and an officer, Theren had almost died, and their main target, Lepage had escaped. Their first concern was to get through the secret door. This took some time and ingenuity (as none was familiar with thieves tools) but eventually they opened it and found a winding, narrow passage that must have led several blocks before ending in a ladder to the surface. Here they found a stable with enough room for two horses and a trap. The stable was empty, the horses and trap were long gone. Back at the hideout, they found the upper warehouse area (directly above the workshop, with its sinister metallic roots) was occupied by Jelia's tree. Somehow, both she and it combined root and branch, leaf and sap with metallic parts and wires. Jelia was hostile and angry that her 'work' had been disrupted, but she told the unit that the punch-cards, the know-how, the means to unify technology with primal life, all came from a being known as the Clockwork King. Jelia created cheap, reliable constructs and received protection from the Kell Guild; the Clockwork King received 'golem parts' in return. Searching the rest of the complex, they found a rusting amulet in Tortho Chell's fastidiously neat chamber (which they later found linked him to the late Mayor Reed Macbannin). Chordek's spartan room comntained nothing but his pallet and several cages in which he kept a pet rabbit, a guinea pig and two chinchillas. Lepage's chamber contained a lot of evidence linking him to known members of the Kell Guild, but nothing connecting him to Kell himself. His strange musical contraption intrigued Wil and Niniel. The final door radiating of the plush, Elfaivaran antechamber, was locked. A copy of the key was discovered in Lepage's room. Beyond lay another round room, the same size as the bed chambers occupied by Lepage and Chordek, but this one was crammed full of tiny cages, each hanging separately, each hooked up by wires to a ticking device that featured a clock for each cage. Each cage contained a single, limp and bedraggled pixie. At a given point in time an aelectrical shock was administered causing the occupant to release dust that was collected in specially treated muslin bags. While the horrified officers examined the cages and tried to figure out the best way to detach them from the aelectrical device, and free the occupants, one of the pixies reached through the bars of the gave and gripped Ludo's shirt sleeve in his hand. "My name is Azure Lord Blackthorn, Bramble Baron of the Crystal Henge and Third of his Name. I am an agent of the Unseen Court and I demand that you release me at once!" [B]DM's Note:[/B] Regular readers may remember the belligerent berserker Blackthorn, who joined Black Star Mining in their attempted hit on Lorcan Kell. His wings were sent to Khaled Valchek in a purse tied around the neck of Khoomrung Morkanstall. Reactions to his reappearance were mixed. His erstwhile player said : "Ha! I knew he was too cool to kill off!" Others responded: "Oh :):):):), not him." "Let's leave him in the cage." But of course unit B don't know Lord Blackthorn, and roleplaying beats metagaming, so Blackthorn was duly released. [/QUOTE]
