Tales from the White Box, Session 3

 In which the party...

• Travels from Malisha to the forests southeast, and run into a bounty hunter carting off a mage captive. 
• Learn that the mage has created a fire elemental that is burning up a lodge to the southwest - and which the bounty hunter warns the party not to engage.
• Maran and Chent decide to try and find it anyways, and run into it within the forests. 
• Try to attack it - only for it to near immediately burn the duo to a crisp as they die sequentially to the creature.

Current level: None.

Tales from the White Box, Session 2

 In which the party...

• Chent the cleric, Maran the Thief, Tarbold the fighter, Eliara the Elven fighter, and Jason the mage all enter the basement of the Anvil to deal with the rats and strange monsters down there.
• They discover the bodies of Jeff and Alia, and the skull with amethyst eyes on the floor - as the teddy mimic attacks them.
• The party fends off and slays the teddy mimic intact, and manage to take the skull with the eyes to sell.
• The party explores the rest of the basement, discovering four doors to new rooms. 
• Find out 2 of the rooms are just empty basement rooms. 
• Finds poison gas trap in one room, and Jason the mage and Tarbold the fire fail their saves and die to the poison gas that is released before the party escapes.
• Finally finds the rats in the fourth room - right behind a pit trap Maran falls into - and thankfully survives the fall.
• Eliara the elven fighter and Chent the cleric fight the rats, one of which is disease, as Maran attempts unsuccessfully the scale the wall up out of the pit.
• Eliara dies to one of the rats just before Chent slays the last one.
• Maran finally scales out of the pit - only for all of the rats to be slain.
• The basement is looted for treasure, and the treasure and bodies are dragged out of the basement as the Anvil's basement rat problem is cleared!

Current level: Chent 1, Maran 1

Guardians RPG, Session 1

 In which I play the Guardians superhero RPG, which is based on the original White Box. I'm using Mythic GME and the City of Crime supplement to simulate a patrol based superhero crawl.

In which...

• Steel Hornet and Superstar enter a burning building and catch one Tarranis the Thunderer, saving “The Crab”, an “innocent” owner of the Mermaid’s Tail Bar, and claim the prize reward money for catching him.
• SH and Superstar rescue some innocent workers from the fire in the building.
• Once they leave, The Crab’s associate Damascus Steel, a radicalized terrorist and underworld boss emerges. Crab tells him to keep an eye on the duo, they may be trouble.
• Elsewhere, Senator Jeramiah Relm also watches the superheroes remotely, who may cause trouble for him as well. He is intrigued as last night he was rescued from the goons of the meta powered rival Invictus’s goons unintentionally by Steel Hornet.
• Invinctus is known to be on the campaign trail for the position of President of the United States, running directly against Senator Relm on a pro meta platform – publicly for meta equality, but privately planning an authoritarian takeover.
• Flower the super activist faces off against Invictus publicly heading into his office – and refuses to use her powers as she faces off against his security and is dragged into a cell.
• SH and Superstar watch from nearby in their civvie disguises, and plan to break her out – and have her join the team.
• Superstar rushes the building and learns that Flower has been shipped off to Invictus’s new super slave penitentiary in central America!
• Superstar gathers the location data – just as Invinctus walks into the room.
• Superstar sprints away but Invictus locks down his base Superstar fails to leave – leaving SH on the outside and Superstar and Invictus and his goons within the complex!

Current Level: Steel Hornet 1, Superstar 1
