Prelude to Blood - Session Summaries List
- Welcome back folks! The Motley Crew returns to get reacquainted with one another after approximately a year of training and self-exploration and all that jazz.
- Quick Skim of the Night: Vee shows off the new ship she’s built, and it all goes like your regular-degular housewarming. Or shipwarming. Whatever the heck it’s called.
- Everyone gathers at Vee’s house like it was all scheduled. Slim chance that it was, but maybe? Tempe with Zora and Glimber in tow from the Cathedral, Melange and Lirtimya from the library, and Rothuss from the docks.
- Vee’s super excited to announce that she’s finally taking over her fathers’ mafia business full time! Just kidding. Her new ship’s finished building, and now we don’t have to worry about hitching rides with strangers or owing favors for transportation. We do, however, have to pay for parking and make sure it doesn’t get stolen.
- Thorwald Knubel hands Vee a basket full of bottles. To drink, yeah, but one is reserved to smash against the ship. Apparently it’s common practice.
- So they go down to the docks and get introduced to… The Grim Lady! A.K.A. “Lady Grim” or, occasionally, “The Bloody Nuisance”. She’s got a Manta Ray figurehead we picked up from the caves, which can summon sharks (which is apparently not the same as controlling), and lots of room. Nice!
- Vee smashes her bottle, Tempe casts a ceremonial blessing for her future voyages, and Rothuss plays a nice song for her.
- Some updates on PCs:
- Lirt has learned some new spells. Hooray!
- Glimber has practiced speaking human! Hooray!
- In turn, Zora now knows how to speak gnome… gnomish?
- Tempe’s cut her hair (out of churchy folk frustration).
- Vee’s fathers have added some new decorations
- Rothuss has a multicolored vest to distract others in future drunken fights.
- Everyone also has a continual light thing, hooray! Rothuss has his latched onto his belt, Vee has her oyster pick, etc.
- Lirt tests out the archery ring that Tempe gave her.
- The same noble in the field comes out, with the same weird mission to kill the witch.
- Lirt chooses 3 daggers, because she’s a mage who wants to shank, obviously.
- The dice are like “good choice” and rewards her with a crit.
- So now she’s got a +1 to throwing daggers! Yay!
- That’s it folks! Next episode is dinner at the Barlett house + the weird stuff that happens in the morning. Considering the arc is called “Blood Mother” … yeah, buckle up buttercups.
