Achtung Cthulhu! The Stars at Night, Part 1

Image
Cast: Mr. Phillips (John) - Engineer (retired) Nora St. Dennis (Kathy) - Adventuress CPL Ron "Ferret" Farnsworth (Kurt) - British Commando David Rafael Manasseh (Colton) - Buisninessman  LT Arthur Tennison (Nick) -  SIS Agent in India Signalman Timothy Legg (NPC) - Young student of occult lore The party (Nora, Arthur, and Mr. Phillips) were assembled for an emergency brief by Captain Joshi - a team was coming from England in response to a weird astrological reading from the city of Jaipur. Apparently, only the party was in the area, and crazy enough to believe that based on reading some sundials, an Elder God was coming to destroy the Earth...or something like that.

Emerald Enchanter Part 2: Finding Badger (and new zero levels!)

Kathy as Kiya the Albina Halfling, Kilcea the Albino Dwarf, Kitia the Albino Cleric of Mardua, Berry the Marauder, and Wilhelm the Merchant John as Amar the Desert Warrior,Foxy the Werefox & Badger the Child Wizard The group pushed on into the Lair of the Emerald Enchanter and found themselves attacked by Emerald Warriors, who when killed turned into (dead) naked peasants.

Since Foxy had disappeared and many were hurt, they were slow to start looking for her (and when they did, they looked in the wrong direction). They found a room with a chair, a brain, a corpse, and a skull - but could not make sense of it all, and moved on.

Actung Cthulhu: The Battle of Ellora

Cast: Mr. Phillips (John) - Engineer (retired) Nora St. Dennis (Kathy) - Adventuress Sergeant Constable Cecil Atwood (Mike) - Egyption Constabulary, seconded to SIS   LT Arthur Tennison (Nick) -  SIS Agent in India Yago D'Souza (Eric) - Jesuit Priest Captain Subedar Joshi - Indian Bombay Guards officer and MI5 Head The last session found the party heading to an ancient Aryan Monastery in the Ellora Caves by way of three military trucks and 20 Bombay Grenadiers. The party faced misgivings about a race against an unknown sect of Nationalists and either the German mystics (Nachtwolf) or the Blue Hat Monks, or both.  Fortunately, the weather was fine, if hot and humid, and the road, while rough, was passable. The party made it to the bae of Ellora Mountain in good time and quickly decided to leave most of the soldiers guarding the trucks, taking eight with them as they ascended the mountain.  Moving upslope through rough scrub trees th...
