Session 3 Recap

Characters:

  • Xytar, the Risk-Taking Dragon Warrior Who Looks for Trouble
  • Hyoto, the Charming Chimera Hermit Crab Explorer who Talks to Machines
  • Sapphire, the Calm Human Explorer who Works Miracles

Plot:

It was decided that the adventurers were here to find Hyoto's older brother, Hedoto, who had been shot into space accidentally on purpose by other individuals. Everyone is along to help Hyoto either out of the kindness of their heart or because of a mysterious benefactor who, among other things, offered to pay off Xytar's crippling debt.

Unfortunately, the ship they arrived on was punctured by many fragments from ancient, decaying satellites. Most of the crew left in escape pods, though Hyoto sought refuge in a water bottle and Xytar used his power armor (a relic from our TTRPG club last year, now destroyed from the stresses of reentry.)

Upon crash landing, a distant city skyline was seen as a possible place to start looking for Hyoto's brother.

Hyoto and Xytar dug for water, with Xytar making an impressive burrow and Hyoto filling the water bottle. Sapphire noticed some figures off in the distance. Xytar tried to go meet them first, but Hyoto and Sapphire thought this was unwise and convinced Xytar to wait instead.

After some particularly low skill check rolls, the party found themselves captured by 4 ft tall blue-skinned beings wielding spears and crossbows just as the session ended.

Session 4 - Cypher System

Character Options

Some players still need to finish their character creation, but this is not expected to take up much time.

Some players may choose to spend 4 XP to increase certain character abilities before we get into the plot.

Gameplay

We begin with the party arriving at the Spwal village, named for ancient writing above the entrance to their largest building. The spwal don't know what to make of these strange beings and are seeking guidance from their elders.

What happens next is up to the players.

Games so far: Lasers & Feelings, Cypher System
