The Schism: A 13th Age RP Campaign

46. How absolutely nothing. That's just screaming for a fate point.

Btw, you should all have 2 Fate Points. Dunno if I remembered to mention that or not.

For on-screen things in the middle of session, yeah. For this, I'll let you use multiple if you want to.

Could be fun, I say go for it.

I should still have 2 left, unless I used one and forgot to mark it. So definitely worth a try. But not today. I can feel my bad luck surging. And in this case, bad luck is a middling roll. Because a really bad roll at least has the potential to be interesting.

22. Much... Mm. Hm. Meh. Eh.
At any rate I'm not using that last fate point.

Summary!

The gang reaches the Farlands and takes a pit stop at the Rover Camp. Here we learn that Bast is actually Chieftain Zola's adoptive mom, and that Bast considers the Farlands her home. Zola's own adoptive daughter, Dana, seems to have gone missing so the party trouble themselves to find her.

Bast takes her scout form and leads us to Dana near the stormy coast, where she's in a state not dissimilar to how we met Raevana. Singing in the shallows, great amounts of magical energy surrounding her. She reveals herself to us as Skadi in the flesh. Or Skadi in Dana's flesh, anyway. Giggity. After hugging Seren, her granddaughter, she has words of encouragement and help for everyone, even going so far as to cure Raven's vampirism. She doesn't have long to talk, but she does ask us to tell her husband to take a break. We don't know her husband, but she seems to think it'll be obvious.

Afterward we return Dana home and depart for the mountains. Not too far in, Bast warns us about that castle we came into ownership of and confirms that it is indeed very haunted. By the ghost of the first Priestess, in fact. Said specific ghost very uncomedically Scooby Doo chases us through the mountain and once we get to there other side, Bast explains us the history of how the Black King turned her devotees against her and corrupted the order. Winterfall Keep was the first Grand Cathedral, but now it's nothing but vengeful spirits.

Once we carry on through the mountain, we sneak past a few critters and then get into a fight with some pretty strong orcs who seem to be guarding the temple (which Bast calls Shangri-la) and then get bombarded by a Bazelgeuse. We kill the orcs and weaken Basil enough for Raven to catch it in a Pokeball. He will be our butler now.

We need Karth back so him and Raven can have a Pokemon battle.

We have to be up at 4 am tomorrow, so that may be a bit too late. Neo may still be up then, though.

I have to be at work tomorrow at 5. I have the ad shift. 90% of ad rolls over from this week through the 25th, so I have no idea why my shift exists.
