We made it.
Only a week left of the term and boi has it been getting colder, bruhhh. I write this from under my duvet cause this house is so cold.
But I’d like to congratulate everyone for getting through the first term of uni cause it has been oh so busy, but I hope Tabletop gave you all a little respite from your work this term and will continue to do so when we all come back.
But for now, sit down and read the last newsletter of the term.

💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last week in LARP
- The Quest for Employment: Milly, after multiple recommendations and many gruelling rounds of interview, was asked to perform one final task to prove herself worthy of joining the housekeeping staff of Lady Jane Victoria’s estate. The family insisted upon her and her allies finding some jewellery in the woods at the bottom of the voidscrapers, which allegedly belonged to them. Milly and her party headed into the woods, where they were quickly accosted by bandits warning of this mysterious, horrific creature called a ‘Rhudolf’. They claimed to have been attacked, and told the party to watch out. Later, they ran into some deer clan hunters who told them the main stag of one of their herds had vanished. They also ran into some mercenaries who looked rather beaten up. Exploring further into the woods, the party occasionally ran into ghosts, as happens often when travelling in Duality. But the three they did meet were odd. Spirits of Solstices, past, present and yet to come. They gave the party strange warnings and premonitions that helped lead them to the creature they sought. Rhudolf was a terrifying beast, quite literally. It could shoot beams of fear from its nose, and cause waves of pure agony to befall those who attacked it. The party fought and won, but it was tough, and made tougher still by an ambush. A shot came from the trees, and the mercenaries from earlier strode in, thanked the party for doing the hard work and were promptly also killed. A few days later, Dr Rigg invited many adventurers to a solstice celebration where they socialised and made deals and nothing unethical happened nor was anyone who is maybe known for dubiously legal medical practice there. Definitely not.
