"The mind is a doorway...
...one that you can walk through if you wish."
it’s a beautiful day in eastern Shattered States
- Clint(a mage and bounty hunter), Cage(a massive woman who is Client’s friend and co-worker), and Allistair(a young man, apprentice to Clint) are walking along a small road, looking for work - as they turn a corner they are met with an confusing sight - Flynn “Edgelord”(a political activist and artist), and Allano(a Norren veteran with an interest in the supernatural) are surrounded by 25 bandits - a few bandits hear something in the bushes and(after a short scuffle) they bring out a bedraggled Detective Pendragon(clues in the name) - the bandits turn from their captives to notice the approaching trio - there is a standstill, and a tumbleweed drifts across the battlefield - then the bandits are ambushed by the local ranger, who erupts from the forest with a bird perched on his shoulder - a battle erupts, but it becomes evident that the bandits are no match for three gunslingers a giant, and the other two warriors - only one bandit escapes while another is held captive by Edgelord - Edgelord gives the captured bandit(Borris) a choice: death or service - Borris is a pretty chill dude and chooses service - the group talks for a bit with the ranger(Leo) - they start making their way to the ranger’s destination(Sharnsvale, he has a case about a stalker there) when they see a passing flier get shot out of the sky, by some sort of heavy gunnery - the team quickly moves to investigate - it turns out to be a Sudari soldier(Ses) who had her propellant tank shot - she is actually mute, and is trying to use Signing - Leo asks if anyone knows it, and the magpie on his shoulder raises her claw - Mags translates Ses who says that she was shot down but she doesn’t know by who - they all head to Scarnsvale - Crawlers start to pursue but a wall of thorns comes out of no where to block them off - the group goes to the tavern and have quite the night - Clint Borris and Allistair get drink on Bassilisk’s Tears - Pendragon goes to explore the town a bit, and sees something move behind a house - Leo, Mags, and Ses go on a walk and see Tim! All four have a nice chat - All head to sleep. - That night Pendragon has terrible dreams, but he is unable to tell anyone about it - in the morning everyone meets with the villagers - they speak to an old man named Sam, who also saw movement, out at an old abandoned house outside of town - with Sam in tow, the group heads to the house - as they are searching the house gunshots ring out - Leo puts a few rounds into some sort of box and throws it into the woods - he begins to storm off until Flynn mocks him - Leo then turns around and tells Flynn to shut up - Flynn eggs him on a little bit more, and Leo shoots him in the head - everyone is shocked, and Leo flies up into the air, Mags follows - in shock the group preps for their experiment - they let Sam sleep in the house, and take up position around him - despite their best attempts, Sam is carried off by the creature - they follow the thing to a hole in a patch of bushes - they cautiously enter the hole to find a few things - they find a chest with some treasure, a cavern with no exits, and the word RICHTER melted into the wall - they start to plan the next night - Ses flies to the nearest Sudari ritualgraph station - she gives her report and gets in touch with the Academy - All they can give her is that RICHTER is a Weylanian word meaning judge and judgment - the team prepares for another night when Tim appears and scares Clint - it’s raining really badly and starting to thunder - born magic isn’t even helping - Tim says they should move away - none of them are feeling the magic disturbance that the Richter gave off - they spend the night chatting with Tim late into the evening - they awaken to a half flooded Scarnsvale, adventure and uncertainty in the air Comments are closed.
