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. On the DC3 was David Manassah (newly minted spy/businessman), Ferret Farnsworth (Brit Commando), and Signalman Legg (a pimply faced 17 year old draftee). It turns out that Legg had actually read The King in Yellow and thus had insight into the Elder God (Hastur) that a cult may be try...

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. Pushing on, Katilia and Kilcia were almost killed by a mass of six Emerald Warriors and Foxy ran away. With a little luck the group won out killing the six warriors while taking some serious damage themselves. 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. After a while they found a menagerie of strange animals - jeweled tigers, a large listless snake, and a weird slime thing. Intelligently, they d...

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...

Cast 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, Avery the Cleric of Choranis, Ederic the Hound, Foxy the Werefox & Badger the Child Wizard The party climbs the foreboding plateau to rescue their "friend" Badger from the Emerald Enchanter. While not too keen on rescuing badger for Badger's sake, the runes indicate that not saving the troublesome wizard could bode a doom for this world (and they have destroyed enough already!). The citadel looks like a squat two story fortress, with a large first floor and small second. An enormous door is guarded by two emerald warriors. Foxy runs forward (as a fox) and the two "statues" come to life give chase.  After a short brutal combat, the statues are destroyed and Amar and Kiya pick the best emeralds out of the pile of remaining shards.  In a main hall, the party confronts a "t...

Cast: Mr. Phillips (John) - Engineer (retired) Nora St. Dennis (Kathy) - Adventuress LT Arthur Tennison - SIS Agent Captain Subedar Joshi - Indian Bombay Guards officer and MI5 Head A reduced group returned from the Assault on the Blue Monks to the Hidden Valley of the Tsering Lama. There the Lama presented a translation of the Book of the Machine to Mr. Phillips who read it (with little side effects). After farewells to the Lama and Dawa Badger, the group departed in the DC-3 aimed for Bombay, the site of the next part of the superweapon they are trying to keep from the Nazis.  In Bombay, they are met (and debriefed) by LT Tennison (of SIS, but not Section N). Tennison informs the party of the advancing of war, and bombing of London by the Germans. He then takes them to the Hotel Excelsior. Outside the group is dragged along in a wave of children to witness a puppet show that is reminiscent of some of the legends they are pursuing.  They also hear an ...

"Pretzel" wants Badger to diminish both the powers of Law and Chaos in order to restore some balance to this mad land. After sealing their bond, Pretzel dropped Badger off in some mountains to head for a sacred unholy site of Chaos...but before he could get far, a large green hand wrapped around Badger and it was lights out...   Meanwhile in Pan'pot'sun... With Kiya being dragged towards an alter as a proposed sacrifice to Mythris, a Winged Lion God of Chaos, things looked grim. But as her comrades leapt to her defense, with Amar taking great glee in cutting down dozens of foolish citizens in the mob...

Mr. Phillips (NPC'd) - Engineer (retired) Max Webber (NPC'd) - Spy Siomon Gallach (NPC'd) - Diplomat Ontario Johnson (Alex) - Desert Explorer Sgt Cecil Atwood (NPC'd) - Constable Nora St. Dennis (Kathy) - Adventuress Kai (Nate) - Co-Pilot After successfully destroying the antenna array, radio, and stealing the code books at the Blue Hat Monk's monastery, the party looked down on the monastery as the monks reacted to the collapse of the antenna.  After a few moments of indecision, the party took off down the ridgeline, heading straight back to the lake (4 miles away). The party immediately heard the large guard dogs barking below the ridge and, looking back,  The ridgeline ran for two mile, Kai spotted four of the monks bounding up the mountain mystic levitation style, about 30' up a leap!  Despite this, the party was able to stay ahead of the monks for two miles, until descending from the mountain. There they were sandwiched between four of the atta...
