This campaign has moved to MONDAY NIGHTs sometime after 5:30PM at the
same place. Games will be held at World's Best Comics, 9714 Warwick
Blvd Newport News, Virginia 23601.
PART 1.
We had a single extra large Combo pizza, with the pepperoni to one side
to allow for the druthers of one of the participants.
Remaining tasks for character generation were completed such as buying equipment, as we can't have the characters naked after all. Skills not
yet rolled for were completed.
I invoked my character flaw utilization system and issued two hand made
3" by 2" cards to each Player invoking a quirk or flaw to be played on
another character who has the flaw. Each hard has the name of a
character and their flaw and its effect. The character who Plays the
card gets an Honor point. The general idea is that HackMaster Quirks
and Flaws are usually forgotten during the heat of play, and this will
bring them to Player remembrance. Honor points are the incentive.
The original characters from the old campaign were at the town's
temporary inn. Except Aerys, the only one of the new characters who
made this town her home town. And she's the town gossip.
The new characters arrived in the morning and mingled. Aerys (a thief)
stole the show by sitting down at Numrendir's table and ate his
breakfast. To top it off he ordered a second helping, put it on
Numrendir's tab and ate that too.
When it came to business, Vixine and Blake hired themselves out as
contractors at 1 gold piece per day and a share in party's proceeds.
Though it wasn't specified whether it was gross or net. Aerys held out
for an extra half share. As a token of the contract Numrendir issued
to each shareholder a token of the contract consisting of an Electrum
piece with a nick in it (a.k.a. a marked coin) to be redeemed for their
share. The two other new characters, Dornorin and Jacko also were
issued a coin contract. (I think, next session will make sure.)
Numrendir also put the contracts in writing, I'll presume the results
of his calligraphy will be displayed next session.
As their first task, Vixine, Blake, and Honda as supervisor (more or
less) went through the town door to door asking for a town meeting to
discuss the problem of the bandits plundering, raping, kidnapping
pillaging and raping again. The meeting to be held at sunset at the
Temple of Pangrus.
Of note during the door to door journey, they came to the two story
tower occupied by Ernst and Bertram and were greeted by a guard asking
them to check their weapons at the door. At which point a card was
played forcing Honda to act out her flaw of being a Jerk. Honda
refused which resulted in the door being shut in their faces.
Much later at the appointed time, most of the town members showed up
for the meeting which was conducted from the front steps of the temple,
except Ernst and Bertram for some reason. Little was actually
discussed about the banditry and the rapists, and it became apparent
some townsfolk were unwilling to discuss it due to "privacy concerns".
So it was put forth that the townsfolk could submit their issues in
writing in a box at the temporary inn for a reward of one silver piece.
(As as to the literacy of the townsfolk free services of a private
transcriber was offered.)
Elmo, one of the town's citizenry walked out shaking his head in
disgust. Huang followed and was met with exclamations of "Leave me
alone!" and "I don't want any part of this!" Followed by taking an
alcoholic swig from a small flask. Aerys came to help suggesting to
Huang that "We just leave Elmo alone for now, he'll sleep it off."
Since most of the Town Council were also present they (except of
course Ernst and Bertram) asked for a private meeting with Vixine,
Blake, and Honda) in the temple immediately thereafter. Aerys tried to
butt in but got kicked out (since she was not a council member).
However, since she is fairy-kin and can fly she espied from one of the
temple windows anyway.
At the council meeting it was discussed the former evil Temple several
leagues away and its history, including the meaning of its four
symbols, anarchy, chance, immorality and insanity but not which meaning
belongs to which symbol. Some attention was paid to the its destroyed
outpost some miles away which may be hosting new inhabitants.
