Shinra: If I haven't given you a Background Trait yet, here you go:
Void Crusher - +1 Intimidate, +1 Acrobatics. Fearsome Pirate's Reputation. If I have given you a trait, choose the one you like best I guess.
Gyrating down the hallway, your good friend Enrique has an armful of wood in one arm, his modular hip-adjusted implement is present and ready for work, and
his other arm is bobbing up and down in a steady, hypnotic rhythm to a beat only Enrique can know, yet you know... in your heart. (Another NSFW.) He notices the new lady and spontaneously springs across the lobby in a pirouette, landing before Ardna in a kneel. He accepts her hand with his free arm and kisses the top of it, then raises his head and grins, his mustache wobbling with little sparks. His voice-box has been set to charming French-man. "Ahh, a darling flower has found it's way to our leetle garden! I would be honored to help you furnish a room, mi petite chou fleur, after I repair the crass boor's window."
When Ilex inevitably decides to eat some food, Beatrice confronts her with a bottle in either hand and clearly stinking drunk. "Boss! Ah did tha' job righ'.. but.. yer sellin' me short! Hic! I need ta fight! I ain't no errand-bot!" Maximum frown interrupted by need to run to the restroom and give offering to the porcelain god.
And so
Fools-Errant regroups into the night...
Week 1 Summary-The
Long Holiday was destroyed during a ruins dive by a set of vicious Bandit Brothers led by the Gehenean, Hjard. You caught a ride with Mister Rosco Nailbrain, fleeced some bits from the Clockwork Plane of Mechanus, and defeated Hjard in his follow-up ambush. You then raided his hideout, saved and recruited Beatrice, a Shifter Fighter, and finished off the nefarious brothers with some primal decapitations. Escorting Rosco earned his gratitude and a possible link with the distant Bladefang Orc Tribe, who are said to be in a region south of the Iythian Reaches.
-Unfortunately, the destruction of the
Long Holiday and the symbolic loss of your license has caused your primary financial backer, Finneus Firebrand, to saddle you with a debt for the ship and to withdraw his support for your mercenary actions in the city. This may ultimately lead to your being muscled out of the city entirely by rivals... You have a month(of Iythian time) to amass the debt.
-Pursuing a canceled payment from one Ottiumus Oppenmeyer, you were baited into a trap by him with intention to put you in a bad light. Or kill you! You escaped the trap, but perhaps not notice. Ottiumus appears to be organizing a rival band of mercenaries to knock you out of and occupy your position.
-You paid a gracious visit to The Academy and had a cordial meeting with their "Empress", Millicent. She might offer you work, but would force you to work under her.
-You busted the sinister scamming of the Devil May Care contracting group and got a new ship, the
Short Holiday, along with a mysterious artifact. You saved a Squire of Pelor, Hammond's life.
-Wanda successfully turned in the Bandit Brothers Bounty, Beatrice successfully had the Lode-stone Ore inspected, Muscles successfully was Muscles. You still have a mysterious I.O.U. that you took from Hjard that points to a Damien Reinbach in Gateway. Bertram's Aunt sent him another letter insisting he come home to discuss the inheritance.
Your debt stands at
436,000/500,000 GP
