💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last Week in LARP!!!
Hunter Valerie pulled together a small team to confront Lord Cecil Rackett, whose father, all those years ago, ordered the killing of Valerie's clan. The party of Valerie, Ziman, Maddie and Appius trekked through the Kitaland wilderness, towards the town of Gatham where the Lord resided. They met wolves, hunters, a very big heron, and an overzealous Reeve threatening a farmer over unpaid taxes. They made it to the town, interrupting an execution, talking with a goat seller, and marching on Lord Cecil's house. They fought their way inside, only to find two housekeeping staff arguing over the polish on the wood table. Both ended up dead, as the party refused to believe that Cecil was not in and instead hunting in the woods. They found their way back into the woods, and shortly before encountering the noble's hunting squad, they were stopped by a team of King's Reeves. They wanted to arrest Maddie for her escape from the dungeons of Tourn months prior. Before they could, a group of Lupan soldiers interrupted, wanting to execute Maddie for leaving the legions of Lupanum and severing the node connection. This came to a head with Maddie's unfortunate demise. The three remaining party members found and fought Lord Cecil's hunting party, of guards, family and friends. Cecil himself came to investigate the commotion, and was threatened into conversation by a spear in his face. Valerie had only one question for him. Why? Why, all those years ago, did his father order those killings. Why? Cecil could not answer. Not beyond 'because the King's rule'. Appius stabbed him in the back, and he bled out, in front of his son, his last words used to tell Valerie what she did. Valerie left the adventure drifting, mourning the loss of Maddie and who she herself once was, hating the monster she became.
Last Week in RPGS!!!
- Sector-C4N - This session did not go well for the PCs, but it was great fun! On landing in the starport most were taken off the ship whilst it is fully searched (Uh oh). People were required us to leave all weapons. In a range of fear to indignant, the PCs comply and are interrogated. Anders (PC) maintains the approach of playing dumb and not telling them anything. Kalina (PC) tries to do the same but ends up revealing it was Johnny (PC) who took on the mission and might know more. Astra (PC) doesn't reveal anything either. Johnny (PC) - who took on the smuggling job - is then interrogated, unfortunately revealing enough to attract some more attention... The group is allowed to return to their ship and is told that legal proceedings are being prepared - they don't tell us much about the charges levied against us but it sounds like Johnny might be arrested. The party are rushed away to a legal building just 30 minutes later, and meet their assigned lawyer (This is definitely not a sham trail right?) to prepare their defence.
Extra Bonus End Bit
The game in last week's 'Feldspar Buttons Firebreath III's Funky Beloved Fun (the obnoxiously named minigame)' was of course Deception: Murder in Hong Kong! Well done if you got that one right! No game this week, as I don't have another week to give you the answer, so I'll take this moment to say a massive thank you for reading the Newsletter this year, for partaking in the games, and putting up with me and Feldspar this year! You're in awfully safe hands with Fran and Sneak, and hey, it's not like I'm going anywhere. I look forward to another fantastic year with all of you!
Hydrate, don't diedrate, have a good week, and I'll see you next time (albeit in a new role) 💜
