Something just occurred to me as I reread the Action descriptions in the Quickstart: As it stands, almost every Action is a verb. Which is cool, it makes it easy to grok what they’re about and helps encourage mechanical statements that flow more readily in conversation (e.g. “I Prowl past the guard” vs. “I use Stealth to sneak past the guard.”)

The one exception right now is Mayhem. Which is a great term, don’t get me wrong, but as the one noun in a list of verbs it sticks out to me. Now, maybe I’ve just been watching a little too much Archer lately, but might I humbly suggest, in lieu of “Mayhem,” the Action be called “Rampage?”

Game#2 Recap

Game#2 Recap

Game#2 Recap

              We left off with Hug and Vey making  off with a stolen daimond.And framing the Redsashes for the job.During down time we wasted away our vice’s. Hug gambling his coin away at a mean game of Old Maid.(Its a hard core gambling that we intend to fleshout details on later.) And Vey pulle dup to the bar and order some drink. His drink is a drink called the Devils Purple. Due to the fact that its made with a little Leviathan Blood. So when get the drink its foaming purple with smoke rising off it. In which Vey over indulged and bought the a few round’s for everyone. In which it got alead on a job being offered buy the LampBlacks. So he told the bar keep to tell them they were interested in the job. We went back to our lair. Vey started work on a long term project on befriending the bar keep at the Drunken Mallard. So they can get some more good leads on upcoming jobs. Hug started a long term project on find a the lost Black Bird a black Onyx bird said to have great power and great value.People have search for their whole lives and never found even a clue on it. (working on further details of what this will happen with this but its a really long time goal. Nothing will be quick with this project.)

             So the job we are doing for the LampBlacks turns out to be stealing from the Redsashes vault. Which is going to be difficult but we are up to the job. Since we really don’t like the Redsashes. So we are going to put a hurt in their coin purse. We send in our band of Shadows to case the joint. Its a Redsash Temple where they hide thier money laundering from drugs and other vice’s. Out in public so that they don’t get alot of looks at whats going on. But with help of a few contacts like Vey’s spy friend who got a the lay out of the inside of the building. And our gang finding the secret way in through the sewer system. They also found out that there are secret whisper markings on the wall bounded with Leviathen blood. So we also called in a favour from a contact down on the docks named Holtz. To use in contact with a whisper that could help with these markings on the walls. So this whisper made use a pair of googles that could read the marking on the walls. But that didn’t work all that well. They leak out small amounts of leviathen blood enough to draw the attention of a specture or something cause started to follow use we went into the sewers. But we made our wat through the tunnels reading marking and avoiding potrals along the way. Until we hit a whisper trap and Vey failed to notice that symbol. And pure raw energy coursed through is body. Almost causing him tp passout. But with his will check he resisted it. Holding on to wall screaming on pain.

As they moved foward making it passed all of the patrols and came to door with sophisticated lock system. In comes Hug with his fine lock pick set. Hug worked on the moving tumblers , pulling levers and pushing pressure point at the right time. It gave way and into the temple we had made it. We pulled out the map our spy got us. It was alittle burned now from my body being fried so it took alittle bit longer to read. In ths mist of reading the map. The air grew cold and chills set. From behind they heard a scream so horrrible riddle with pain and anguish. That it froze them where they stand.

Until next time

Apologies if this has already been asked and I just didn’t see it, but does Stress “wrap around” if you end up taking Trauma before you’ve marked off all the Stress to avoid an Effect?

e.g. Frost is sitting at 6 Stress and flubs a resist roll to avoid being shanked (1-3 result, 4 Stress to avoid). Two Stress is enough to push him over to his first Trauma and clear his Stress track, but does he have to soak the remaining two Stress on his “new” Stress track, or does ticking Trauma absorb all Stress from the current hit?
