Party signature move: shooting corners off buildings

In this episode we mostly fought battles. Then there was a wizard that Gorbash trapped inside a building by shooting off a corner of it, echoing the beginning of us playing Rifts, when the party berated Booker for doing a similar thing - how times have changed!

The wizard went invisible and Gorbash pretended not to see him, hence toying with him.

We're getting close to the Cult of Nxla now. Unless we do what we normally do and drag it out a number of sessions ...

Ranger danger!

We went further into the Xiticix territory, there was an attack. Booker tried to "save" some people. They died. On the plus side, so did the gang of baddies that were stalking us previously, so it all worked out.

We also found a camp with a nexus point. Maybe we'll attack it next week.

Gorbash went to Psyscape to chat with The Dude, but the place left him rather unimpressed ...

I don't read the script, the script reads me

We discovered what the Key of Solomon is for ... and that it's an orb with a lady in stasis in it. It's pretty out there. It can also be very useful. We were perhaps not in agreement with the Grey Seers and the other Cyber-knight about what to do with it.

To cut a long story short, Gorbash wrote and directed a play based (in the end) on Booker's plan, in which Gorbash would say "screw you guys, I'm going home! And I'm taking the Key (and my new girlfriend who coincidentally is also called Maria) with me!" in order to lure the Coalition States into Xiticix territory so we could sit back and wait for them to obliterate each other.

Plan went off without a hitch. Even Hecate got in on the action, vaporising a dude. Good times!

YOU get a girlfriend, YOU get a girlfriend, EVERYONE gets a girlfriend!

Booker and Jayson ventured into Solomon, a town with a big Aztec pyramid. They forgot to relay this information to Gorbash, who was mightily surprised when he finally joined them.

There was a group of mercs in town. Bad people. We considered using them as meat shields for a while, and then ended up by recruiting one of their Juicers. The lady in question was heavily flirting with Gorbash, so it seems now the whole party have someone to have some heterosexytimes with when we're not busy trying to save the world and whatnot.

Investigating the pyramid, because it's OBVIOUSLY a CLUE in the finding of the Key of Solomon, we found a door. Inside the pyramid was a Cyber-knight who had been missing for the past couple of years. Perhaps he knows something.
