Big session of our campaign. Panic (The Delinquent, changing to the Doomed) reconnected with her hometown friend Margot. Then Panic used her Moment of Truth to spring a trap and sever her connection with her doppelgänger Sapphire…but caused a rift in her team in the process.
Torq (The Nova) and Halfpenny (The Transformed) discussed their respective new bodies (Torq in a much more humanoid body, Halfpenny in more monstrous shape), then got arrested by F.A.T.E. for the damage they’ve caused. They get a chance at redemption when Porpentine runs amok.
It turned out the battle was a set-up, part of Panic’s trap for Sapphire—which she’d coordinated with F.A.T.E. and The Forge, but not her teammates! F.A.T.E. and The Forge argue about where to hold Sapphire, with Sonia (The Soldier) taking The Forge’s side next to Candelabra.
The Rime Court makes a dramatic move: The hand of Ultimatus appears above the city, and fires a tractor beam into the F.A.T.E. Dorm. Captain Bowmaster (The Beacon) charges in, sees the hand is tractoring up the Fairy Mirror, and, mid-leap, fires a bomb arrow right at the Mirror—
—Boom. The mirror shatters. A sinister voice seems to whisper, “I can work with this.” Mirror shards fly all over the city, and icy rifts blossom from them. End of session! To be continued…
Love the Candelabra art.
Has EVERYONE changed playbooks?
1of3 The only player still using his original playbook is Captain Bowmaster, who is still the Beacon.
And our Delinquent changed playbooks at the end of this session—she hasn’t played as the Doomed yet. (Though, narratively, she’s felt like the Doomed for several sessions. She made a big mistake accepting a cursed ring).
