  3. When it went bad, how quickly did it go bad? The writeup makes it sound like it was only a handful of actions from desperate engagement to GTFO.

    Also, a little curious (maybe morbidly so) about Maude’s choice to sacrifice the accountant. Where was the discomfort, in the game or out?

  4. Adam, it went bad really quick, but there was foreboding. I had Willoughby ask Maud if she knew how to deal with this, and she basically said, “Kinda, I hope so.” Everything leading up to that moment with the demon was easy, though.

    The way the choice was made was Charming told us he was going to get a body, then showed up with a dead slaver guard manacled to a living accountant. Charming asked her, in Willoughby’s presence, “Did you know you were dealing in slaves?” To her credit, she admitted she did. So I had Willoughby say something like, “Well, now you’re gonna die for it,” then explicitly tell the others she had to leave because she found it horrifying even if it was necessary.

    Charming stayed and was pretty chill, but he’s a bit of a murder-happy fellow. I recall Maud’s hands shaking as she pulled the knife and put on her mask.

  5. Sean and I were talking post game about what an awesome move that was and how much we enjoy it too, Robert Bohl​.

    Adam Schwaninger​ Fast. Conflicts with a demon in close quarter combat were all desperate. Consequences were brutal.

  7. Maud was messed up about all of this. She felt like she had to make things right, but to do that meant doing more wrong. The fact that it was all for naught is not lost on her either. She’s either going to have to harden herself to the damage that she’s done or be haunted by it.

    I think we gave the sacrifice of the accountant significant gravity and I think it will come back to haunt us in both practical ways (she worked for the Hive and their will be retribution) and what it says about the soul of our crew.
