I'd say just do a oneshot. I could help you a bit with the preperations, but since i want to play in it that would have to be very general stuff, nothing involved in the story. Though honestly, don't overdo it with the preperations. A rough scenario idea, some characters who are involved, and a bit of stuff to improvise (mostly names. Lists of names are very useful, otherwise everyone ends up being called Fred. Also you seem to greatly overestimate my experience. Which is flattering. | ||

I'd really like to have Ragosion there for the next part, too. I think his reaction to what Beatrice is about to tell you is kind of important. Would the rest of you mind if i just do a random oneshot today? Don't expect too much since the whole thing is kind of on a short notice, but i should be able to fit something together. Would be SW since i don't really want to introduce a new system, but probably a different setting. I want to steal something i played before so i don't have to do so much thinking. What do you guys think of Victorian Space Age Eldritch Horror? | ||

Would you mind if we play at 16:00 for barins sake? That would also allow me to prepare a bit better. And well, Victorian Space Age Eldritch Horror is Eldritch Horror, set in an altenative history where Thomas Edison invented an Etherdrive allowing the colonisation of Venus and Mars at the end of the 19th century. | ||

But honestly, i am a lot meaner in Cthulhu then in SW. PCs in Cthulhu are supposed to die, a lot. Or go insane. Stuff is scary, and most of the things you meet are basically way out of your league. I think i should have made that a bit clearer in the beginning. | ||

Like in Jarsville i liked the pseudo detective theme in a fantasy setting, is really alot of fun. I felt like we maybe got a little to easy out of prison/quarentine, would have loved to see us do more for it, have to take on a job/Ragosian turning up the charm. | ||

Beatrice revealed herself to be part of the Thalassan inquisition, her real name being Franzisca Vodenfahl. She questioned us, and we pretty much came clean and told the truth about everything she asked of us. She was curious about what had happened to the envoy from Thalassa, and had also spoken to the corpse of the envoy, which partly corroborated our story. They were curious about the Archon of Jarlesville and if we had anything to do with his death. She told us they had found a portal or something similar under the city of Thala, and after testing it, they used it to send their army of ghouls to Calonia. Unfortunately, the test subject they had used turned out to have become a madman, who murdered his family and dressed up in their skins. They have also lost all contact with the army they sent. She explained to us that the Thalassans never wanted this war, and that they would be very curious to find out more about Than, who gave us the mission to take care of their envoy in the first place. Franzisca then said she would get us off the hook, partly because our story rang true, and also because she would easily be able to convince her superior of our ineptitude. Fine. On the way out of that mansion Philipp tried to hook Ragosion up with a kitchen wench of immense size, but then we made our way back to the golden calv inn, where Ragosion went to drown his sorrows and gamble some more, while we asked around for work. The innkeeper told us a man had been looking for people of our type for some sort of work, and that this man was now residing at Minequaft’s Timid Princess Inn. We headed over there, and came face to face with Than! After pressuring him to pay us for our previous work, he spoke of a new mission for us. He wanted access to somewhere in the city, but wouldn’t tell us where until we accepted. We asked him what side he was on in the war, and he said he was on “his own” side. Regarding the mission, a fooled man won’t get fooled again, as some wise man once said, so instead we set out to bring him in to Franzisca. Unfortunately, Than turned out to be much more than he looked, and got away by displaying superhuman strength, healing and jumping abilities. As far as we could tell he had all the abilities of angels, and more, since he was also able to conceal his wings. A fallen angel of some sort? After he had gotten away and we had managed to get out of the commotion that was caused, we looked around for a way to contact Franzisca again. One way was to speak to a man, Fitzgerald, who owns a dealership in ancient wares. He sent a runner for Franzisca who came and spoke to us directly. We told her everything we knew about Than, and she told us that she would be able to reward us if we somehow manage to find and kill him. She also explained more about how to hurt angels. Their skin is impenetrable by magic, but once it is pierced, magic damage does not heal as other wounds do. She told us there are magic weapons in safe keeping that could be used against angels, but that we would not be allowed any of these. Could be something to do with that ineptitude again, I suppose. Damn it. After finishing with Franzisca we went to search through the inn room Than had been staying at, and in it we found several interesting tidbits. A magical ring with needles on the inside, used to pierce the skin of the wearer, five small black onyx statues, humanoid but with weird proportions and extra limbs and appendages. We had Fitzgerald examine them, and he said they were from before the ascension and that he had never seen anything like them. They reminded him of things from the coven rebellion, but that was not quite it. We also found bills and letters, some concerning the search and purchase of these onyx statues, bills for mining equipment and other things. Barin tried on the ring, and after a few tries we came to the conclusion that it made him very, very small. There was also a poem and correspondence about translating this poem among Than’s things. The last interesting tidbit was proof of Than buying a house in Thala’s fifth circle. Would we found him there? As we were making our way over there we suddenly heard rumor about parts of Minequafts inn exploding. As Philipp tried to get an angry mob going, Minequaft himself got rather agitated with us, and accused us of magic, while we blamed the Pifs, Than, and anyone else we could think of. He had not seen Than in the area after we scared him off though. As we were walking around town again later, I saw a strange shadow in the corner of my eye, and after chasing after it, we saw yet another of those shadow things we had encountered before. This one was smaller, and slunk away before we could do anything about it. An ominous sign, and soon things got worse. Shadows were closing in on the city from all sides, the outer wall had gotten dark, and people who ventured out did not return. As we were still trying to investigate Than’s building, we carefully ventured out, but were soon forced to retreat. The only things that seemed to harm these shadow beings were Ragosion’s firebolts and our torches. By the skin of our teeth we made it back to the fourth wall before the shadows consumed us. As for what I liked/disliked the most, I don't know. I kind of want to pick a side in the war, and help that one side and not the other, but it's pretty difficult to do so. I guess I both like and dislike that. I was happy we managed to find some clues about Than, and that we possibly made life a bit harder for him... If his side is a third side I'm happy we can stand against that at least. I liked how Beatrice turned out to be an inquisitor, and how some pieces fell into place there. | ||

Then no one talked in the thread and no Brickadin's diary coming up made me probably interpret far too much into it. | ||
