| |
| | |
| Prepped a scenario for Kerberos Fate, which we barely began, as we focused on ethical medical issues from last time and on a ball at a young baroness's home. Matchmaking is in progress. Reginald decided he absolutely had to pair up the Odious Edwina Campion with someone to get her off the marriage market and put Schemes into effect. The player says she's like the Soulless Lord in Dance and the Dawn.
| |
| | |
| I was informed that Deathitude is a word. I remain skeptical.
| |
| | |
| The representative of a powerful evil fae tried to bribe the PCs to just stay out of his way. He told Sophronia that the fae in question could close the ways into faerie to her creator / father so that he couldn't abscond and would stay with her. Sophronia made a thunderstorm which was praised as part of the decorations, especially after she stopped and all the water vanished, doing no damage to hair or clothing. Sophronia has forbidden her fiance from trying to convince her creator / father to stay, standing firmly by Take Me As I Am for everyone, no matter how unhappy it may make her.
| |
| | |
| Reginald exchanged notes with the NPC Talos, a 20 foot tall iron golem who is Sophronia's cousin. Talos wants to help the Chartists. Reginald wants to make sure Talos understands that the Great Game of the World is not chess, but poker.
| |
| | |
| GM: You want to join him!
| |
| | |
| Player: No, I want him to join me!
| |
| | |
| GM: Semantics!
| |
| | |
| Player: I want us to subvert one another.
| |
| | |
| One player decided to be the translation track for the Talos-Sophronia conversation.
| |
| | |
| Sophronia: What have you been doing?
| |
| | |
| Talos: Playing chess and trying to learn things.
| |
| | |
| Translator: Manipulating the situation and spying.
| |
| | |
| Talos: Trying to make more friends than enemies.
| |
| | |
| Translator: Making enemies.
| |
| | |
| Later:
| |
| | |
| Talos: When you get married, there will be a truce during the wedding?
| |
| | |
| Sophronia: Of course there will be! Nothing will go wrong with the wedding!
| |
| | |
| Translator (with a nod to Dragon Half): Sophronia is a lousy prophet.
| |
| | |
| Translator #2: Yes that's why shes such good friends with Alice.

| The London Times, April XX, 1841.
| |
| | |
| The Hero Hound of Whitechaple.
| |
| | |
| There is a Beast on the loose in the streets of Whitechaple, but this Creature appears to be Infused with the True Spirit of Christian Charity. Several Assaults and other Vile Crimes we Interrupted last night by what witnesses claim was a Giant Dog, possibly some Breed of Shepherd or Wolf-hound. While no Master was seen with the Creature, Witnesses say it was clearly Tame, as it's Demeanor quickly changed from Savage to Amiable, once it had Assured itself that all Villains had been Routed or Disabled, and accepted Thanks from the Victims before Vanishing into the fog.

| |
| | |
| The next morning, as the PCs are assembling to depart for points north, a porter arrives with Reginald's luggage. "Your pardon, mum, but Lord Sage asked that his things be stowed, and said that you could expect him to join you shortly."
| |
| | |
| A few moments later, a tremendous border collie appears and trots somewhat unsteadily to the carriage. As he approaches you notice that he smells like a cheap brothel. Putting a paw on step, he announces, in a decidedly inebriated version of Reginad's voice, "I... have been a. good. boy. I have been a Very good boy. There were these bad people, and I made them go away. And then eeeeeverybody was happy with me, and I got hugs, and bowls full of beer, and bacon, and more hugs, and a marrow bone to take home." He looks around cautiously. "I buried it in Milo's yard. SHHHHHHH, don't tell anyone, it's the one place they'll never look." | |
| | |
| "And now, I am going to take a nap. Please wake me when we get close to the Earl's. I will probably need a bowl of water, if you would be so kind."
| |
| | |
| Reginald hops up into the carriage, curls up under one of the benches, and immediately falls asleep.

| So, she was seducing people to get them to do what she wants. Glass houses, stones. My throwing arm is hanging limply by my side.
| |
| | |
| The lizardfolk should stay in england so that in case we're away whtn the martians attack, they'll be here to defend it. Pause. That is NOT a sentence that I was imagining ever saying.
| |
| | |
| Most of us lucked into it
| |
| | |
| Lucked?!
| |
| | |
| Not necessarily good luck, in your case.
| |
| | |
| Fair.
| |
| | |
| Alice, I have a plan, but I may need you to talk to George to get the dertails just right
| |
| | |
| I dislike this plan. Already.
| |
| | |
| I think she would be a BETTER LEADER OF A SNAKE CULT THAN A SNAKE Cult
| |
| | |
| That's what I thought you were going to say. It is all completely immoral.
| |
| | |
| I think we should all stop talking about sex cults!
| |
| | |
| This isn't a very good place for a sex cult. It's drafty and cold.
| |
| | |
| I don't understand why you wish to turn people into whores. I thought we did things the other ways, turning whores into maids!
| |
| | |
| That was before I joined your lot.
| |

| Oh how many bastards do you have floating around.

| And the rest will be inducted into the Kerberos irregulars
| |
| | |
| We have irregulars?
| |
| | |
| We do now.
| |
| | |
| Youre trying to bait me. That's very good.
| |
| | |
| Cult, Club
| |
| | |
| I don't see why they have to have a sex cult
| |
| | |
| My darling, I don't know how to put this. Certain people have certain tyupes of talent. Which ch\\shouldnt go to waste
| |
| | |
| George has certain types of talent and doesn't let it go to waste. He doesn't have a cutl.
| |
| | |
| Actually he sort of does.
