One Less Die

Session 9: Druids Vs Aliens Part 1 Malthaius the Farseer looked at his humble flock, the menagerie of huts and bonfires lighting up the twilit grounds. It filled him with warmth, this little community of his, but it also gave him a chill of worry. He turned to the silhouettes of the great standing stones on the hill to the north. A mist rolled in between the village and the stones, the druids sacred ritual site. ‘Would someone be taken tonight?’ He wondered. The strange lights in the night sky... would someone be taken by them? In the day, the stones belong to the druids… but lately. At night, things came from beyond the stars and moon, people had gone missing and the village was fearful of things that came in the darkness. A solution needed to be found, which the Farseer hoped the bones and stones would tell him. He cast them to the earth with a strange hum as they impacted. He read their cryptic message… ‘Expect Outlanders to halt the toiling of outlanders.’ Malthaius closed his eyes and breathed deep, still hearing the hum of the shiny little gems, pondering the message, what did it mean?...

Session 15: FNGT - Dragon’s Dungeons Part 3 - Cashing in on Dead Money The Rift is open. The wards are broken and failing. The Shadowy Harbingers of Horror hunger. Can the Adept Mystics thwart them at their threshold to the 6th World? Can the GM hold it together in the face of crude sex jokes and the seemingly infinite rules of Shadowrun 4th Edition?

Session 8: Blood Orchard Part 2 - Attack of the Blood Bot The Red Inquisitor surveyed what his little blood-bot was observing. It had arrived swiftly to find a pathetic town street, with one of his underlings, scorched and dispatched in a grisly fashion. Obviously a Slayer’s work. Ferros was a pompous worm, deserving of such an end, but he also disgraced the Red Inquisition as to fall by the hands of cattle. The Red Inquisitor would contact Ferros’s clan and notify them of the demerits costly removed from their reputation for this insolence. As he brooded over bureaucracy, his attention returned to the Blood-bot’s vision as it came upon some individuals, marching out of a nearby building. Some very interesting people indeed, if the sensors were to be believed. No matter, they’d be squashed for such boldness, obviously here to defy the inquisition, like so many DEAD fools who came before. One way or another, Wilno would see retribution for dealing with rebellion.

Session 14: FNGT - Dragon’s Dungeons Part 2 - The Golden Egg The shadows run deep and the memories of a bygone World are rooted even deeper in this place. The Adept Mystics are on the precipice of secrets and powers wrought by beings both dead and forgotten. What horrors and wonders will they uncover and awaken?

Session 7: Blood Orchard Part 1 - Welcome to Wilno It didn’t take long for the Inquisitorial Department of Nocterra to detect the ripple of energy in the ether. An intrusion to their world wasn’t uncommon, but certainly unwelcomed. Though generally such issues came from more shadowy origins, this intrusion event did not share the usual signatures. Curious, after sending a confirmation of foreign arrival back to the High-Courts in the Old Country, procedure dictated sending a recon missive and hunter/killer drone to gather more intel… and deal with any inconveniences. The Red Inquisitor decided to send one of the more experienced drones. After all, these readings were near Wilno, a place of ill-repute for harboring rebel slayers. Perhaps it could do with some pest control while the “blood-bot” was in the area. The Red Inquisitor bared his fangs in a grin as he pressed the release button for his little toy… Cast:  Chris - GM Dave - Weyland Winchester - Shadow Man in Black Gunslinger (Dave) Aaron - Balthazar Romanov - Half-Elf Wizard-Ranger & Clerical Mage/Herald of Gerald (Aaron)   Musical Credits:  The Pyre by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4504-the-pyre  License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

Session 13: FNGT - Dragon’s Dungeons Part 1 - Hunted and Hunting As the Adept Mystics get back to Bucharest for some rest and fun, they get a new job, one that will propel them on a slight detour from the Ghoul Tour. They must travel to the Caucasus Mountains to investigate a missing research team sent to uncover the possible location of one of Dunklezahn fabled lairs. What will they find there?

Session 6: Deep Freeze Part 3 - Nazi Werewolves Need to be Punched! Lady Lisa Felworg of the Second Dimensional Boring Acquisitions Division sat in her office looking out through her window with a smirk. The Grand War Carrier floated yet anchored out in the main courtyard against the buffeting Antarctic winds. She sipped her Coffee as she looked back to her reports. The Commander had assigned her to manage their new allies: these subterranean humanoids native to this strange/yet familiar new world. They had the same passions and pensions as her kin, to punish those weaker and to dominate them rightfully. The Deros Dominion would be of great use with their control of fantastical bio-weapons. They laid waste to multiple Cities and fortifications around this world. Yes, indeed, they would serve them well. All for the glory of the Agarthan Reich. All they had to do was assist in destroying a parasitic City on the Peninsula, full of undesirables. Felworg snarled like a beast for but a moment before composing herself, the thought of pathetic low-borns scrounging in defiance left her with distaste. She sipped more sweetened coffee. It would be a simple task, this pathetic site and it’s vermin wouldn't last too long. A Decisive Sub-Ground and Air strike would complete the task in a night. What could possibly stop them?   Cast:  Chris - GM Dave - Weyland Winchester - Shadow Man in Black Gunslinger (Dave) Aaron - Balthazar Romanov - Half-Elf Wizard-Ranger & Clerical Mage/Herald of Gerald (Aaron) Crystal Chris - Undun Jdin - Nephilim Brawler (Crystal Chris)   Musical Credits:  The Pyre by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4504-the-pyre  License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

Disclaimer: This is currently a special one-shot, with the possibility of having further games run in the future. We had some inspiration and we decided to roll it up. FogGate: FG-1   An artifact found in the North Sea leads to a discovery of a portal network, something between science and sorcery, that links our world to others in the Galaxy. Operating out of an ocean platform fronted as an oil rig, a clandestine international Division carries out expeditions through this misty threshold. The Project is codenamed Knight Errant… but the crews that travel through to other planetary spaces have their own nickname for the Op: FogGate. Session 0: Cold Open (Pilot) The FG-1 team has a destination to explore: a cold tundra world with what looks like artificial spire structures on the horizon from the gate. No native activity as far as telemetry or recon drones are concerned. The Mission, explore this Canadian adjacent world and see what happened to the spire builders, retrieve any samples for study.

Session 5: Deep Freeze Part 2 - Attack on Dero Juan didn’t know exactly where the strangers had come from, but he knew they weren’t with the Dero Dominion. Jetting down the Utility Road toward the Main Gates of the city, as sirens blared and he towed the newcomers skiff at high speeds, he figured it couldn’t hurt to bring them in. Maybe they could help with the conflict those monsters from beyond and beneath the ice had been waging with humanity. The jarred oranges may have also been a winning factor for his compliance, it had been so long since he’d tasted good fruit. The smoke and screams billowed over the iron walls and the doors were slowly closing, this was going to be a tight maneuver.
