Unfortunately, for this session, Violet was not able to join us, so her intrepid medusa archer was controlled by Sam.  Additionally, in this session we introduce a new alternative way of tracking initiative called “Active Initiative,” in which, at the end of a creature’s turn, it chooses who goes next, unless a creature took damage, in which case it can also take the initiative.

Time to resolve a cliffhanger!  Last we left our heroes, they were rolling initiative to take on an ambush force of strange, white furred beasts encroaching on their camp, but something tells me that won’t stop them from getting to the Necropolis and completing their labor.  What might stop them, though, are some charming creatures, a long fall and an absolute cacophony of multi-faction combat.

Ariel takes the plunge.

Eto takes a mid-fight nap.

Nausicaa debuts her new bow.

Nehmet talks to a lich.

Ylva lights up the night.

The 500 year Oath of Peace is coming to an end and the Titans’ jealous rage has only ripened over time.  Five heroes have been summoned by the Oracle, who prophesied that they are the only hope of refuge from the death of the gods, the destruction of the sacred tree, and the total annihilation of all mortal races.  Join our heroes (and their players):

Ariel (Venus), a naively entitled nymph with a pension for persuasion

Eto (Billy), a hard-ass Aresian soldier who believes that discipline and pride are cardinal virtues

Nausicaa (Violet), a strangely social medusa who can kill a yak from 200 yards away with her trusty bow

Nehmet (Sojak), a man out of time, slowly clearing a 500 year fog from his mind as he composes the greatest epic poem Thylea will ever know

Ylva (Jacob), a stranger in a strange land whose bone-and-hide armor is almost as threatening as her fiery magics

as they are guided through the world of Thylea by their Dungeon Master (Sam).  Many dangers exist in Thylea, especially for one so bold as to take up adventuring, but if The Chosen of Versi fail in their quest, the future of Thylea is certain to be a grim one.
