[QUOTE="Ajar, post: 6311234, member: 85901"] Phew! We're back at it after being derailed (heh) by a couple of players taking a trip to Spain. From Cherage, the next major stop was Orithea. On the way, a few of the players and some NPCs shot some malice beasts. I had fun holding my Monster Manuals up to the camera to show them pictures of the horrors they were going past. I particularly enjoyed the catoblepas. In Orithea, my players once again split up -- Viveen and Reginald went to a pricey restaurant atop a spire and attempted to join Cardiff for dinner, but he was having none of it. Reginald tailed him with an aerial consciousness fragment, but didn't find out anything of interest. Bela attempted to stake out the train, perhaps hoping to see Mr Mapple again, but flunked his checks and saw essentially nothing. Vesta tailed Luc and Ottavia to the hotel, then left before them and beat them to the Effervescent Cup; when Boone arrived, having seen Vesta tail the couple, he made the appropriate toast. The players think the toasting thing is a bit odd, but haven't put the pieces together yet. Murdok stayed on the train, but not much was happening there. The next day, after a bit more malice beast shooting, the train was ambushed! Several of the shooters fell off the back of the train -- including poor Tarro, who was knocked out by the fall, and Vesta. When the five-headed screaming malice rose up and I showed my players the picture, I was gratified to see their looks of concern. After a couple of rounds, we realized the normal train map wasn't really going to work, so my wife constructed this map for us, spoilered for bigness: [sblock] [IMG]https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Public/Screenshot%202014-06-01%2015.42.14.png?_subject_uid=10694858&w=AABTZM_g4ZDF0GfWypwx0P0OhDubsCjzHr_9CO7Ni44FXg[/IMG] [/sblock] Which would really only work on a virtual tabletop. But work it did! We went for about 10 rounds. Viveen and Murdok moved fairly quickly to engage the screaming malice, but Murdok didn't go for her axes in order to maintain her cover as an industrialist. Instead, she used one of the shooting expedition guns. Bela had been wearing his pistols openly the entire time, so he headed toward the front of the train to find out what was going on. We ended just as he came upon the bandits opening the car Mr Mapple is hiding in! Reginald stayed in the luxury dining car, but sent his consciousness fragments, memory shards, etc, etc to engage the screaming malice. We'll conclude the battle on Sunday. I'm quite curious to see what happens. [/QUOTE]
