So, there's a massive hole in the ground in Thistlehold. There are things coming out of that hole, and we fight them. They keep coming back with more friends. And then there's a wizard abomination thing, and that's not good - especially when neither Hairy Dog nor Yahana are with us. They were kept out of the city because a giant spider and a (sort of) tame kotka are a bit ... eye-catching.
In the middle of the fight, a nice double 20 (it was 2020 at the time, after all) ensured Murmei's bowstring snapped. Things continued along those lines. Deadorna very nearly died in the fight. Fortunately, it turned out that a counterspell was useful, because that wizard had a big Corruption cloud, and let's not?
Finally some Templars showed up to help, but there's still a bunch of Corruption boiling up from that hole in the ground, so things aren't exactly looking fabulous, shall we say?
GM: “Anyone want to spend any Experience on something exciting?”
Player: “Can we spend it on something NOT exciting?”
“Never apologise for doing something well. Only apologise for messing things up.”
“I’ve never had a character miss a fight because they were busy with a booty call.”
“Please don’t snap my string.”
Player: “They hit HARD.”
GM: “Only if they do damage.”
GM: “They’re not Abominations, but bone spurs as weapons aren’t exactly …”
Player: “Normal?”
GM: “I take away the icon for the time being.”
Player: “I don’t like how you say ‘for the time being’.”
“Deadorna has authority issues. I think we knew that.”
“I love how you offhandedly killed him.”
“Valgai has, in the last 90 minutes, killed 11 creatures. That is more than Booker has killed in 11 sessions.”
“You keep score?!”
“I know why we keep rolling 20 tonight. Because it’s 2020!”
“You can’t cancel the spell of a sword attack.”
“We could be lucky – maybe Murmei’s betrothed was near the hole.”
“I don’t care what time it was, it was still better than now.”
“Your internet’s shit, are you bisexual?”
To be continued!
