Quick summary of our first session at MK RPG . It was two weeks ago, but we missed last week’s session due to me being ill.
The first session was just two players (the other two couldn’t make it because of car trouble). We did chargen and world burning. Our lands are kind of like Scottish Highlands and our Shadow twists men into organic killing machines.
The opening mission saw Cpl Ruvac (Wolf; Sharn) and her squad (Liassa (Lioness; Thedon), Pera (Taltho), and Payli (Chersa)) trying to get a village evacuated. Layute, the chief, wanted more time to get the unwell sorted. Liassa tried throwing her weight around, intimidating the villagers into moving; that triggered our first roll to Resist the Shadow.
The focal point of resistance revolved around Mousc saying she couldn’t move her injured husband (Tordez) until morning. When Ruvac went to investigate, the Shadow-twisted Tordez leapt out of the hut, triggering the first formal Mission (defend a village).
During the fight, Tordez was killed (successful mission objective) as was Mousc (complication). Pera panicked and Payli was seriously injured. Something followed them home.
The PCs also picked up plenty of Experience, Weary, and Jaded, but not enough to trigger and advances.
I’m looking forward to dealing with the fallout in our next session on Tuesday.
Awesome! Thx for sharing this recap with us, they’re always a delight to read.
