I’ve just been watching Ritchie’s back catalog (including the Tv series), and can’t but help think of the Bloodletters when I see this title sequence. Canter Haig IS Johnny Quid

So…. Leviathan Hunters and ghosts.

We had a bout of ship board shenanigans out on the ink Black Sea and the question of repelling ghosts from the ship came up.

We decided (in play) that ghosts are repelled by vast bodies of salty water. It means there is no need for Rail Bulls At sea, but also means that oceans are somewhat safe from ghostly incursions.

Has this come up your games? How’d you resolve it?

So…..

We had a TPK, or at least a Total Party Trauma. The infiltration went bad from the get go: the engagement roll was a 1, the Motes lair came under simultaneous infiltration from the Spirit Wardens, then the flashbacks went horribly wrong – a desperate tinker to set explosive traps at the sanctuary rolled three threes – it had to be an backfired omen for the trauma to come.

Then during the infiltration there was failed desperate roll after failed desperate roll: the newly found cult ended up burned, scalded, and their spirits torn from their ravaged bodies. Their exceptional deathseeker hulls ended up scattered and dismembered, the crews’ adept’s ghosts sold to the Unseen’s nefarious pits for their illegal ‘possessed’ dog fights.

So as the Motes swing from the Gallows Pole under the clock, their corpses slowly wasting away as a vicious symbol of those who dare challenge the powers that be, their ghosts are entrapped within the Belltower Crematorium’s holding tanks – awaiting interrogation by the Spirit Master…

They are all trauma-ed, suffered deathly harm, at war with tier three factions and XPed up to the max!

They do have some friends though, The Path of Echoes is working on breaking them out, and the Dimmer Sisters may have a trick or two up their voluminous sleeves. This should be an interesting downtime😳
