  • NOTES

  • Since The Marvels came out on 10 November, please use spoiler tags when referencing big events from it until 9 December. You should be fine to tag into the log that goes up on Saturday without any trouble or spoiler tags needed!

  • Afraid that’s a good guess on the inability to fly into space. Generally, she’s welcome to retain her other powers, just dialed down enough so events are still challenging enough for you to enjoy!

  • Goose coming along is still okay! Daily undead intake promotes good digestion and gut health. Nine out of 10 veterinarians encourage the regular consumption of undead, and the outlier is an amateur, a hack, a scoundrel.

  • Your character receives a shiny new pocket watch pendant with a mirror inside, which serves as a translator and communication device for written, video and audio interaction. It can read out translations of messages written out in native tongues.

    I landed on plane jane for her punny network username, but do pick another if you prefer it!


  • INTRO

    Your character arrives during the party’s botched attempt to leave the lavish city of Ephes, wrenched from home just as the citadel’s beacon collapses. The party’s witch Karsa supplies a translation and communication device and explains that your character has arrived in Akhuras — a world sundered by ongoing war between the lords of the undead Brotherhood and their contenders.

    Your character joins several other otherworlders, whom Karsa’s collaborator, the Merchant, seeks to return to their own worlds through transport beacons, before the undead can weaponise them in battle. For months, this travelling party has been traversing Akhuras, un/intentionally defying the Brotherhood at every step — and chasing the trail of the mysterious Matthias, a scientist of the formidable collapsed citadel of Ellethia, who may have created the undead and the elusive ‘dark water’ that powers them. Matthias has been leaving behind severed parts of his own body to seed or strengthen ‘dark water’ in several territories and summon the undead locally.

    The hour of the party’s inevitable confrontation with Matthias draws near.
