🧱New mascot behaviour🧱

B2.02…

Yes you read that correctly. Our new mascot for the society is the room where we hold most of our events and keep most of our inventory. All Praise the glory that is room B2.02.

Anna has promised to make us a tiny miniature of the room we love so dearly to make it our mascot and I’m sure will keep to this promise. With that we say our farewells to Sneak the Snake who will probably stay an extra year in B2.02 anyway and allow our new overlord to arise. This author hopes that the next Co-op officer has much fun integrating B2.02 as a room and mascot into their marketing.

💭 What happened last week? 💭

Last week in LARP

• Alexios, Assassins, and the Spirit of Gunpowder: A few weeks ago, Alexios was tasked with stealing a shipment of gunpowder by Terne, assassin's guild leader. Along with him on this quest, Alexios brought Dr Jeremy 'Farmer' Rigg, a medic, and Aerys, a wilds mage, and they set off, to chase down a heavily guarded caravan. They fought through bandits, leaving one alive, then trekked deeper towards their destination, encountering wolves, ghosts, more (competent, though fighting amongst themselves) bandits, and a lost scavenger. They spoke with a hunter, who pointed them in the direction of a caravan that had passed through earlier that day, then, when they followed his advice, encountered the spirit of gunpowder, a very excited, absentminded spirit that forgets a lot of things and sometimes explodes things. As a pistolier, Alexios was absolutely starstruck by this short encounter. Soon, they ran into some Neveriss mercenaries, who were hiring peasants as caravan pullers on very dodgy contracts, and managed to swing a contract for themselves as guards for the same caravan. The party joined up with this caravan under false names, waiting for the right moment to attack, and when they did, killed all the mercenaries and set off with some of the gunpowder, setting the caravan pullers free.

Last week in AGM

• We sat through a lot of speeches, questions both serious and silly, and found the society to be doing very well, found a way for both motions to work in our favour for future should they get past. GO VOTE IF YOU HAVEN'T YET! We battled many mascots against each other and B2.02 won in the end. Last but not least we got a very fun and slightly silly exec picture. (see below)

Last week in Murder Mystery

• A Funeral off the Rails: On Saturday, friends, family and acquaintances of Ellen Eyare all gathered on a train to say their final farewells and read the will. This train was being pulled by Ellen's beloved steam engine, the Soaring Welshman, which she had named as going to Tobias Bankrupt, 6th Baronet. Things were going smoothly, up until someone burst into the restaurant* car, saying that William Reder, the will reader, had been stabbed. That was the first of three killings over the evening, and to make it worse, they discovered that the bod yof Ellen wasn't in fact Ellen's body at all, and instead was the body of the car attendant, Stewart Tinny. Lars Ingham, one of the murderers, got off scott free, where Gunther Eyare, Ellen's estranged sibling and the other killer, was arrested, alongside funeral director Ophelia De'Ath, and preservation railway owner, Sutton Roland.

Last week in BIG RPG
