💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last week in LARP
- Delivery interception. Archbaron Fitzsabre wished to establish control in the town of Biybliat, which holds Kitalands only college. Another Archbaron hired the party to prevent the delivery of weapons and armour to Fitzsabres forces as violently as possible. There was surprisingly little violence, at least up until the end. They left more bandits alive than expected, though. They dispatched of the delivery guards, but were tracked down by the Biybliat militia for attacking their troops and had to fight their way to safety. (Sam - LARP rep)

The Circle of the Extinguished Flame: The group, having just been rescued from one place of captivity, find themselves in another cell. Now.... they didn't check this one was locked, but IT FELT LIKE IT WAS OKAY? They are greeted by the woman who brought them in, who reveals herself to be Umbria. She explains that this place is The Headquarters, a place for people to come together to work to take down the experiments being performed by WIRDS. She explains that the party may be of use to her, and their cause, and that they would have the discussion over breakfast. She leaves them for the evening and warns the group not to go wondering for their own safety. Of course, they do exactly that and at 3am go for a nightwalk. They explore some more of The Headquarters but make it back to their rooms safely and rest for the night. The next morning the group meets Mrs N and Umbria who set up their mission: to take down the scientists and any other connections to the 3 main projects that WIRDS are working on: Project Super Soldier, Project Young Bodies, and Project No Limits. Success would guarentee the party some level of safety and protection as well as some various other forms of compensation. The party agree, and Umbria sets up a training fight to see if they really are fit for the job... (Holly - President)

INKSPIRE: With the party spread across an icy castle, each faces their own foe, defeating them in a series of one on one combats. Our lovelies reconvene slowly, as PC Rosie reveals a sinister truth to her half sister PC Viola, that Rosie was responsible for killing Viola’s parents in law. The group are informed that should PC Melody have her station as a witch stripped of her, the entire coven of witches would fall apart unless another is destroyed! The coven meets again, and Melody presents this information, saving herself and the hunter witch Rosina. Another meeting is called, this time with the entire party present, where it is to be decided if mortals are to be ended (leaving the witches alive), restarting the story. New information is brought to light from a reflection of former PC Zel: that there is an Author in two pieces, if they are reunited, then erasure of the entire world (including the witches) is imminent. With PC Arley’s clever usage of words granting us time to properly investigate if the Pontifax has the tools to reunite the Author and bend it to her will, we have two weeks to figure out what the Pontifax has and knows, and how dangerous it truly is (and hopefully stop her). Failing to do so, the entire world fades, leaving nothing but a quill on blank pages, writing something new. (Skye- CCGs rep)
Extra Bonus End Bit
Sneak's Sneaky Surprise End Bit!
Sneak the Snake Quiz time!
While there was some debate over whether the trash board counts to dominion having board status, Sneak rules that as not every edition has this “Trash Board” nor is it the central point of the game and thus making it the correct answer to Sneak’s question the central focus of the game is deck building. And speaking of:
Sneak’s question for this week is:
In MTG draft, which is the correct way to pass the pack cards with each new pack?
A. Alternating left , right
B. Alternating right, left
C. Left always
D. Right always
(Remember to send answers in the discord!)
Quote of the week: “Your attack had been rendered harmless. It is, however, quite pretty" - Saprazzan vizier, Counterspell, MTG”
Have a Lovely week, and see you next time! 🩷💙
