-
Cast
MI 6 Deniable Assets:
​​Mr. Phillips (John) - older Dutch Engineer
​Clifford - (Nick) - English Aviator
​Victoria (Kathy) - English Scholar (maybe a little left of center)
​Giovanni (Abandoned PC) - Italian hitman
​Dr, O'Sullivan (Abandoned PC) - IRA Informant and Medical doctor (also left of center)
​Radislav (Abandoned PC) - White Russian mercenary (KIA)
Czech Resistance:
Alex (Conrad) - A religious, if sometimes thief, young man
​Pavel (Julian) - An ex-student in Prague, possibly a communist​
​
​At the end of last session we left the MI6 agents with two Czech survivors of a massacre, in a small clearing now covered with bodies of dead Germans, Czech partisans and the dead Radoslav.
​
​The two resistance members, Alex and Pavel offered to take the party to a safe house in Grosseplacen, but first Alex insisted on taking care of the bodies. He was deeply religious, although a poor thief. He almost immediately was in an arguement with Pavel, an ex-student in Prague with communist leanings. In between hiking and arguing the two Czechs shared that the Germans were up to something involving children in the Castle and that Father Andrej was either a Saint (Alex) or a egotist on the edge of sanity (Pavel). Eventually, around daybreak, the two partisans lead the agents to a small cottage and met an old woman (Babushka) who hid the group in he cellar. The next morning, Alex and Pavel went in search of one of the Three Kings - eventuially they found Vaclav, an ex-Czech Army officer and deadly pistol shot who visited the agents. He was pleased with the radios and the explosives that they had brought and planned a training session with DR. Phillips, Clifford, and Dr O'Sullivan. The rest were to wait...which they did not do...
​Alex went out to try and find Father Andrej, but was busted by the German/Collaborator patrol.  Feeling uneasy, Victoria and Pavel went out after Alex. They caught up to hi as the Germans were marching him off to the station...and immediately attempted a "rescue". In the ensuing gunfire, two German soldiers and Alex lost their lives, while the bleeding collaborator crawled down the street alerting the Germans.
​
With Grosseplacin getting hot, the party bailed out into the woods (again) Victoria and Pavel went on a meandering journey through the woods, eventually ending in hooking up with Father Andrej's partisan band of crazy fanatic (but not Andrej). The trainers, left the newly skilled partisans they were training and went to find Father Andrej - which through a little luck  they did. 
​
​Now overlooking the castle, it sounds like Andrej is going to begin his assault to rescue the children and end the menace of Castle Carlstein. 
​
Having met up with both Vaclav (one of the Three Kings) and Father Andrej, the only mission task not complete for our agents is to find out what is happening at the Castle, and possibly stop it...looks like they are along for the ride, one way or another...​ 
​
​Next session, Storming the Castle, or...lets try to remember that we have NPC meatshields!!! (O'Sullivan and Giovanni)

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 ...
