💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last Week in LARP
- So you know how the voidscraper mountains steal your soul if you're up there too long? Well Bolster Stormbreacher decided to stay the week at the peaks, for the sake of bragging rights to get his crew back. Him, alongside Valerie and Jack, climbed the mountains in search of ingredients to make a soul-protecting tea, haunted by a spirit. a spirit of madness. On their journey they met many wonderful people and things, like trees that tried to kill them, hermits that tried to kill them, ghouls that tried to kill them, and husks that, yep, tried to kill them. Bolster bid his friends farewell after they helped him brew the tea and drive off this mad spirit that had followed him this whole way. And he sat and watched the mountains go by, maybe for a day, maybe for a week, a month, two. Who knows, he doesn't. As he did, the tea kept his soul tethered to his body, but as he made his way back down the slope of the voidscrapers, he can't help but feel the pull of the big, blue nothing on the innermost fabric of his being, and he can't help but question: is his soul his anymore, and is it still within himself?
Last Week in Boardgames
