💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last week in LARP
- The Mad Mages of Motion: A trio of mercenaries caught wind of some troubles that a group of hunters were having accessing their hunting grounds by the base of the voidscrapers. They were reporting an intense fear of the area, and that, even if they pushed past that fear, some force would physically remove them from the land. They went to investigate the are, fighting past a series of bandits, talking to an overflowing river spirit that demanded sacrifices to stop overflowing, and speaking with wizards and hunters. The hunters pointed the party up the mountain, past the Lupan Pilgrimage Garrison. With the assistance of a hunter, they fought a yeti, where, after they killed it, the hunter claimed the kill, only accidentally admitting to stealing plenty of other kills. A force in the mountains tried to push them over the edge of a cliff, but they avoided the fall. Just. Soon after, they found the cause of the disruption: two mages, right in the middle of an argument about whether or not to, once they’ve discovered all the secrets of motion magic, reveal these secrets to the world. They had trapped many fragments in the area, under the impression that the land they were on held the key to motion as a concept, and fought the party for daring to intrude. When the party fought back, one, reduced to his last legs, gave a grand speech and set his trapped fragments on the party, only for them to turn and reduce him into a red mist and scattered notepaper. A few days later, all three, as well as other known faces, attended the Tuskan Adventurer’s Summit, for a brief reunion. Agreements were made and alliances forged.
