Legacy Actual Play Report – The Olympus Run
Second Session
Characters remained the same, and the new Threat was that huge glyphs were being carved out in Homeland by some sort of light from the skies. Players were now more aware of their Family needs. I also adapted a little of my story weaving to this aspect, also providing them Fronts / Threats that could solve their Needs.
The end result was that they started chasing one the Praxis heretics, now called Pathfinders, into the Wasteland. The heretic had uncovered an alien ruin and managed to activate its defenses (energy based drones, like the Agent of the previous session) and orbital weapons (the mysterious glyphs).
The confrontation was a long and heavily roleplayed scene, with a good dramatic punch. In the ruins the Remnant found out about its alien origins. I was very satisfied with the pace of the session so far and that it focused more on the characters and the lore of the land. But, in any case, they did come out of the session with some Resources harvested from the ruins and some more immaterial ones gained from the proper handling of the Herectic (Justice and Motivation, for example).
On the Homeland, the Kommittee approached different Factions outright selling their services as hired guns. This resulted in a massive contract to reclaim the Megalopolis, christened Olympus. The Kommittee player, in a rare canny move towards his fellow player, spent his Treaties with Praxis so they would first, galvanize the Homeland population towards the Reclamation, and second, spearhead the Claim by Force. Praxis obviously failed to deliver and the Reclamation just stirred Olympus mutants in far and wide raids.
Another quick Turn of Ages followed, 12 years. Praxis managed to keep on being hated and harassed by the people they tried to save. But, at least they managed to create a Haven of sorts in Olympus, New Athens. And the Kommittee had clearly some Kharma to account for, for they were contract bound for 12 years to the Factions, since they failed to deliver them Olympus from the mutants. Not all enforcers bowed their heads to the contract and the house split, with one of the halves remaining in Olympus to shape New Athens into a communist model society.
