Well, finally catching up here. Last night (a Thursday), I once again brought my good friends and players into the Iron Kingdoms, this time to play a full-party game in the city of Merin, in Ord.
Scott returned as
Gork, newly modified as an Intellectual Gobber Investigator/Pistoleer, but still retaining his penchant for stealing other people's drinks from their tables in crowded taverns.
Aidan returned, but due to events from her prelude Stershan was forced to change his name to
Belisar . He remains Trollkin Gunmage/Soldier, and still manages to kick all kinds of ass. Good times.
Returning his appearance in the
Fools Rush In system test is Russell, playing
Rhulio the Dwarf Warcaster/Field Mechanic from...Rhul. He's as good at naming characters as
Abed, apparently. Thus far, Rhulio is an abrasive tee-totaler.
Lastly, new to the IKRPG table is Joseph, playing
Tiberio Antelero, Ordic Arcanist/Explorer, a respected author of exotic travelogues, penny dreadfuls, and bodice rippers.
They meet with Tiberio's patron,
Padri Duranti, in the
Broken Drum for a job offer, but soon are embroiled in a confounding series of violent eruptions by Merin's Khadoran population. Soon the party discovers that they are in a race against time to resolve a plot for bloody vengeance, pitted against an elderly and disfigured one-armed man whose deadly grudge against the Northern Empire may be all-too justified.
