World War Cthulhu: Operation Three Kings, Episode One

-
Cast:
Clifton Bower (English aviator)
Vladomir (Russian expat thug)
Giovanni (Italian hitman)
Victoria (English academic and idealist)
Mr. Pillips (Dutch engineer and anti-facist)
Dr. Patrick O'Sullivan (madical doctor and informant on the IRA)

 A mixed group of deniable and semi-deniable assets were assembled by MI6 Section D to parachute into German occupied Czechoslovakia and investigate rumors of German atrocities (for propaganda) and make contact with the emerging resistance movement. 

 The party started out reviewing the mission objectives (contact Czech resistance, find Father Andrej (codename ANGEL), and investigate whatever is happening at Castle Karlsten. The players picked a drop zone and made their parachute fall. Everyone was successful - except Victoria who hurt her back in the jump. Patrick (the Irish doctor) cared for her while the rest figured out where they were. Sufficiently fixed, Victoria went into the Krupna church looking for Father Andrej. He was not there but an old woman was, praying and lighting a candle in the remains of the church...the place had been looted and in the back rooms ransacked. After some convincing, the old woman told Victoria that the Father was wanted as a resistance fighter and was probably hiding somewhere in the woods around Castle Karlsten. 

​Victoria let the others know and Clifford (the pilot) worked to plot a course avoiding what the group thought were German patrol areas. It turned out that they were successful and made their way to the Karlsten woods with no incident. They also had a semi plan of heading north, but before they could set out, they heard gunfire. 

​Quickly and quietly making their way in that direction, they found a German patrol, lead by a Gestapo officer (complete in Black leather trenchcoat) interrogating and killing Czech peasants. Highlights of combat; Radomir's failed backstab of a soldier turning into a grudge match, the one resistance fighter psycho knifing a German guard (and the PCs watching him closely to make sure he wasn't a Mythos bad), and Clifford's (taking advantage of the 10 Luck point "break the rules" pulp rule) leaping on the back of a fleeing armoured car and popping the Gestapo officer in the head, wounding him so that he saw the big oak just before he hit it and died in a fiery explosion.
​
​End of episode: Looks like the characters have found the resistance!

After work and class the next day, the whole party met up at the Proffessor's townhome. They charried the train out into the courtyard that evening to give it a try. Proffessor Hartford activated the train and the group watched (holding umbrellas as it was raining) as it went round and round the figure eight. Nothing seemed to be happening, yet the party presisted even while discussing that perhaps this was a dead-end. With the 26th circuit  of the train however, everything chnged. ...

House of Dust and Ash Part I of the Season Finale: False Redemption Surviving their release of the Dei-Phage (demon lord), activation of the Pax Machiana, the ravaging of Kephistron Altis, melting of the Most Holy Gilded Cathedral of Baraspine, and the discovery that the “Pope” of the Callaxian Church is, in fact, a heretic…well, let’s say our Murder Hobos have a “mixed” reputation…(although Drustos seems to have made out well enough…) It has been a month since and the Acolytes are abruptly ordered off planet.  As the adventure begins the Player Characters are transferred temporarily into the service of a shadowy and notorious figure in the Holy Ordos, Inquisitor Lady Oriantha Rathbone, on the bleak and poisonous industrialized hive world of Solomon. There is a trip on the Lamentations of the Flame Princess which allows some new artificial limb work. Littlus replaces his pipe-like robotic leg (courtesy the Dei-Phage) with the “Major Award” leg from Christmas Story…fish...

They needed a break (from the guilt) of releasing a random zombie apocolypse on Punjar every couple of weeks. Anyway, as they got close to the new shopping area, they heard cries of pain and spotted a bearded man in black (Emerikol the Chaotic it turns out) riding down the street on a demon horse randomly killing passers by.  And calling on his winged gorhellas to kill witnesses. The patry generally ended up fighting gorhellas...except for Amar who got a good cut on the wizard before he escaped. After the fight Captain Rhal of the city watch came over to express his thanks and adk where the characters were staying...he ...
