This week Sköll became the Gamemaster, school is certainly beginning to take its toll on our traditional gaming. So due to exams being had in the middle of we had to move the previous session to the Friday. (Which obviously resulted in a shorter session then usual. )
In respect of the player that could not join us that evening we decided to roll with something new, something new in an old form. Which resulted in the system World of Darkness (Sköll's personal favorite, or so I believe) being played.
However...this was not your everyday World of Darkness campaign, this was not set in Europe, neither was it set in the 21th century.
"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
No, it was not set in Spain. But it was set in South America, during the 17th century and the Spanish Inquisition was involved...plentifully. Let's go through the characters before I tell the story.
Dhaik: Friedrich Himmler a German mercenary who had escaped the thirty year war with his family, running away to the South American province where his friend the catholic priest Paul Thompson would be waiting for him. STR based character with the giant Merit. (Making him
The Cornerfag: El Bandido, rolled something which reminded me heavily of a mexican bandit in the wrong time period. (He even had a sombrero) TC even spoke real Spanish for most of the game when IC. Talk about hardcore.
Haté: The romantic era pirate, basically imagine the pirates of the Romantic Era. Yes, pretty much like that. A charming pirate, a ladies man combined with a pirate. That was pretty much my opinion of him.
Our characters all arrived in port, when we suddenly got kidnapped by...yeah, you can guess who. Together with three other NPCS we were placed in an iron cage being transported by two horses, with two guards escorting.
The three NPCS were Paul Thompson, a chick whose name I can't remeber for the love of god. She was pretty much only there to be annoying. Apparently she was the governors daughter too, that had been kidnapped for...well, she didn't know. The third was a shady guy, an obvious thief that had tried to steal from probably the wrong Inquisitors pockets.
The shady guy had hidden a knife which he quickly used to kill the driver from the cage. This resulting in the horses running wild to eventually crash and break free. We manage to get a hold of the key and escaped, the priest and the girl was both injured, especially the priest.
We began discussing our next move. We were out in the middle of nowhere, hours from the road. The shady guy who knew the county compared to the rest of us explained that it was two days to the closest city. We decided to travel together, for the jungles are dangerous in the night.
Eventually the young girl woke up, she regained her conscious easily. Paul however, didn't wake up. We had attended to his wounds earlier, but his situation kept getting worse. We had to hurry, and Freidrich realized this. He had carried Freidrich so far, and would not stop doing it yet. It was tiresome, but he refused to give up. He used all of his willpower to continue marching, they had to reach a proper doctor for him to have a chance to survive. Fate looked grim indeed.
It was here...that I had to leave.
Yes, nobody expects it.
