Fast Times in Oolvanvar

Cast:
Kathy as Tammi the Assassin,  Kilcia the Albino Cleric of Mardua and Katilia the Albino Dwarf (and Amar the Desert Warrior)
Ben as Renna the Elf and Emma the Pacifist Cleric and Mister Richards the Warrior and Badger the Cat-Snake Wizard

John wasn't able to make this session, but I felt we needed to include his PC's as this adventure was paused in stride last session. 
The party had been sent by the Ghost-Witch Lifthrasir to rescue (from the Sinistar Syndicate) the kidnapped Woe Hobbit Nikademos. The party had gained access to the Syndicate's headquarters and had paused in the entry room (last session). There were two doors out, one to the west and one to the north. They started by checking out the west door which led to a waiting area...nothing interesting. Trying the north door next, the party entered a massive warehouse of piles of junk - old furniture, nicknacks, and other worthless items, piles randomly, yet forming a maze.
The Sinistar Syndicate soon detected them, and engaged in combat. {This was a really long combat that was effectively one adventure party against another - it was pretty hard as these things go} Eventually, numbers and hypnotic spells won out, but even then, a couple of the Sydicate members (the foul mouthed warrior and the wizard) escaped. 
Pushing on, the party soon found Nikodemos and returned to the Ghost Witch's hideout in the Stink Pool.
{Note: A pretty hard combat to run, and not as close as I think it seemed. Also, I forgot one of the weird aspects of the combat - the Woe Hobbit, due to stress, was supposed to be sending "wild luck" to either or both sides of the combat. I only remembered towards the end and then, noone succeeded to setting off any of the wild luck :(
I am considering players picking two characters to run at a time. At least as long as we are in the "close" range for advetures. Otherwise I'll need to "boost" the opposition.
...and lets face it, I am too lazy for that.

{This is the third of a new campaign of Horror on the Orient Express}   Cast: John as Prof. Robert Hartford, Curator at The British Museum Kathy as Violet Carol Arey, Dillittant, American EXPAT Marco as Charles Mcgee, Student at London University Mike as Dmitri Feodorovna, refugee Russian noble/ Big Game Hunter Maria as Weiss Voigt, German Engineeress At the end of last session, Charles and the Proffessor had chosen to NOT try the model train and wait to let the others know of their find. 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: Red Redemption and the Master of Chamber XIII

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...

Session 1: Flying Apes and a Door of Despair Kathy as Tina the Chaotic Thief and Kilcia the Albino Cleric of Mardua and Katilia the Dwarf John as Badger the Wizard and Amar the Dsert Warrior Ben as Renna the Elf and Emma the Cleric The group was on a shoppinmg trip to look for a new market street in Punjar. 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 ...
