Trencher 233 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 So what happned? What about the creepy guy who were trying to make her hit girl? Did he roll back on the sex jokes? How did it go with the child psychologist? Did they get along? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cygnia 14,587 Posted March 20 Author Report Share Posted March 20 Well, we're on a little hiatus right now (test running an adventure for the child psychologist when he GMs). DOOZY of a cliff-hanger I left 'em on. The party's been all targeted by a coven of Fate Witches for nefarious reasons by weakening their bonds of friendship and respect. Save the child psychologist's PC (the mute crippled Crescent) -- see, he was given a "gift" earlier by the Schattenman back in Eisen, which enables him to "see" magic. And he can't turn it off or shut the eye in question. And the Sorte magic in question saw HIM looking at It and It's NOT HAPPY. (inspired by "X: the Man With X-Ray Eyes" here). So he's also been poisoned by the Fate Witches. And it took effect while he was already having an episode Seeing these massive mawed eels biting at him. And Mirabella sees this happening to the one PC who's actually been trying to help her. And the younger Fate Witches have already been bullying her earlier. So, while the other PCs were trying to determine WTF happened here and deciding Running Away from this villa would be a Good Idea, she's taken this opportunity to go avenge herself and the poisoned PC on the youngest Fate Witch. And the party has only JUST realized she's missing. And they have no idea where she is or what she could be up to. And I'm hoping I've thrown a red herring at them by having the guy who wants to train her as Hit-Girl have a [meep]ed up dream about his Sidhe Lover complaining that he "just doesn't want to share his new toy" with her...

Cygnia 14,587 Posted April 8 Author Report Share Posted April 8 .... ... ... ...the sheer number of mental gymnastics that the PCs (save my hubby) are using to JUSTIFY the (attempted) murder of a SIX YEAR OLD GIRL is mindboggling. So yeah, Mirabella struck and slashed the throat of the bratty six year old as payback and the kid bled out. When confronted with the body, queue all the PCs throwing all their Drama Dice to make the murder unhappen. Which I allowed. Because, there will now be...consequences (aka, bratty six year old Fate Witch is gonna come back wrong once she recovers). But yes, as the PCs fled the villa, the Crescent's player (aka the CHILD THERAPIST) is still saying that, because Mirabella is in shock/disassociating and not smiling/laughing, she won't harm the party members -- ergo, it's still all right if she stays with them. Yeah, once that shock wears off and she realizes that the Crescent healed the kid, she's gonna feel very betrayed. Meanwhile, Hubby is gearing up for a roleplaying confrontation next session to stress the whole "NO, THIS ISN'T A GOOD IDEA!" aspect to the rest of the party.

Lord Liaden 7,481 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 The way this narrative is going, I have to ask this... is everyone involved with the game still having fun? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cygnia 14,587 Posted April 8 Author Report Share Posted April 8 Actually, yes. I asked them afterwards if they felt I was going too far and if they wanted to continue with this storyline. Likewise, I always ask them to tell me ASAP if I do anything that might be too upsetting or triggering beforehand. (Hubby's bad dice rolls don't count as upsetting ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
