Character officially switched!

Postby angelicmadrigal » Sat Mar 16, 2013 1:54 pm

Eve Juandasstas is now an official member of the party!

Last nights session was to say the least...stressful. WE had a pool at the beginning of the night among the players about who's character would be the first to jump out of a window. Sir Robert and Drake got the worst of it.

The night opened with the group confronting Svana about threatening Octavia and punching a two inch thick dent in the interior wall of the Coranado( I botched a stoic body roll, and she also ended up breaking her hand), Sir Joseph also decided right then was a good time to tell her that Charlie is supposed to be a secret. Galen of course is furious that Svana yelled at and threatened his wife, so he tries threatening her in turn and she just shrugs it off, whispers something to Sir Robert, and walks out of the room.

The group makes it to Byzantium Secondus to unload their cargo. They also get invited to a retirement party for Baron Ambrose Juandaastas. They also hear a plethora of rumors about the Baron's sister, and confessor Eve. They also find out that the Baron has a very interesting retinue, including a Darkwalker Shantor named Sahara (who has a tatoo of a gallows on her hip...yes someone mentioned MLP and we just ran with it). Also, the group found out that Sir Robert's sister Rebecca would be in attendance at the party...which nearly causes Svana to have a panic attack.

At the party there is much mingling. Galen actually is able to make friends with the cynical Shantor by discussing music with her, and doing small performance with her. Sir Joseph just kind of hangs back and listens to people talk. Svana does her best to stay out of the way and avoid making a scene, even when an annoying Hawkwood teenager comes over and starts hitting on her. A small note about Svana and Drucilla here, just looking at them at the party is a HUGE study in contrast there. Drucilla is of course mingling. Babette spends most of the evening avoiding drinking, and talking to Baron Adrian Decados.

Drake ends up spilling the beans about Drucilla and Svana to Rebecca, and she goes to talk to Sir Robert about it. Svana ends up passed out on the floor, Babette and Eve end up taking her to one of the Tavern's siderooms, and it is diagnosed that she's come down with Heclkmers Hemorraghic Sucktitude (no one blame me for that) a disease primarily found on Severus. During the chaos Sir Robert's ex-wife Bethany arrives and he manages to hide from her. Robert eventually ends up explaining to his sister that he's engaged to Drucilla, and what exactly his relationship with Svana is. At some point in the night Sir Robert also ends up talking with Baron Ambrose, who informs him that his sister is not quite ready for the retired life.

After the party winds down Eve informs the group that Svana is pretty much going to be off the roster for a while, and she is definitely going to require some continued medical care. Eve offers to join the group for this reason, and due to their lack of having a confessor onboard...one of her side motivations is to postpone her upcoming marriage, but she doesn't tell the party that. :shifty:

When all seems settled the group hears is a knock on the door, and a request to speak with Drake Starwind. It would seem Drake's past dealings have caught up with him, and is now time to pay the piper. Drake decides to go along peacefully, leaving the group to decide how best to get him out of this mess.

I'm just going to say this from the get go. Man, was Sir Robert on fire last night. He took charge like no one's business... :thumbup: That being said, let's get into the details.

The group decides to split up. Babette, Sir Joseph, Lady Rebecca (Sir Robert's sister), and Galen go back to check on the Coranado. Sir Robert and Drucilla stay with Svana for a bit before going out to try and get an audience with Sir Thomas Mazzerin, Eve goes to the Port Authority to gather intel on Drake's arrest. The first group, gets back to find the Coranado on lock down and are unable to get inside, Rebecca tries to convince the guards to let her onto the ship, but gets nowhere. Meanwhile Babette contacts an ally of Drake's in the Reeve's guild to try and buy more time for Drake. Eve finds out from the Port Authority that they have 1-2 days max to handle the problem before in all likelihood Drake gets executed. She also finds out that the search warrant only cover the Coranado, not the Azahara. On her way to take back the information Eve runs into Robert, and gives him the information she has. They begin to plot a strategy. Drucilla is given instructions to "work her way up the ladder" to see the Governor.

Meanwhile, Drake is being interrogated by the Killroys. NOT FUN :(

The group meets back up at the tavern to share information,Svana's actually awake at this point, and all the sudden a grenade flies through the window. Most everyone takes cover, except for Svana who kicks the grenade (and on a critical success) sends it flying back out of the window, and Babette who manages to leave the building. The wire grenade explodes outside, and Babette sees a man with a BIG GUN in a near by vehicle, she shoots at him, and he manages to spray the side of the building with gigantic bullets, but no one inside is hit. The driver panics and drives away, but not before Babette gets several pieces of information about the vehicle.

The group minus Eve and Drucilla decide it best to return to the Azahara, with the full intent to take it and hide out with Babette's family in the backwoods of the planet. Even decides to stay int he city, to talk to her sister who she is hoping can use her underworld ties to figure out who is obviously out to get them). Sir Robert contacts Rebecca and finds her in the middle of a heated discussion with a Mr. Lynch (one of the inspectors ) the inspector insults Rebecca calling her a "backwater hick" and Sir Robert has to talk her down, telling her that the group is on it's way. The group makes it back to the ship, and Sir Robert gives some of the minions what for... he does such a good job of it managing to intimidate them. Svana is pretty impressed by this so she shoves him up against the side of the ship and kisses him. After that three inspectors, including Mr. Lynch approach the Azahara. Sir Robert demands to see the warrant, while all three men insist the Azahara is covered by the warrant. However, the copy they have appears to have a blank space where the Azahara's information should be. Sir Robert, throws the papers back at them, and gives them a good verbal smack down, and Rebecca slaps Mr. Lynch across the face for insulting her. Babette goes to ready the ship, and everyone hops aboard. Sir Robert, who is in the process of getting drug off by Svanna, instructs Rebecca to take her Urock and go fetch Penny (who everyone forgot and left int he city) and bring her back to the Azahara.

The group makes it to Babette's family home, and she announces her pregnancy to the family, and Penny's adoption. Penny is "initiated"into the family, and ends up looking like one of the extras from Hee Haw, and receives her first pair of daisy duke's. Svana is again cursing the heat (as the family lives in the equivalent of the Louisiana Bayou) and due to all the excitement starts getting sick again.

The next day, the group (minus Svana, Drucilla, and Penny) return to the city to meet up with Eve, and start the ball rolling on their plans.

This week's side RPs:

Svana and Sir Robert's sister Rebecca
Svana approached Rebecca, and introduced herself and the situation. Even though she is hesitant Rebecca asks Svana about her relationship with Sir Robert. Rebecca also asks Svana about her father. Svana asks Rebecca about her experience growing up as an illegitimate child. She comforts Rebecca, and assures her that Sir Robert is glad to have her as his sister. Rebecca, tells Svana she will accept being the child's aunt, and invites Svana to go hunting with her after she has the baby....and gets over the horrible illness she has. Overall, a nice bonding experience between the two women.

Eve and her sister Aria
Eve asks her sister Aria if she'd be willing to use some of her underworld contacts to try to find out who tried to kill them with the wire grenade and rain of bullets. Aria agrees to help if Eve will pay off some of Aria's gambling debts. Aria also questions Eve's choice to join the party, and especially her decision to bring along her brother's former bodyguard Alister. This was not exactly a warm, fuzzy conversation between sisters.

Eve and Sir Robert
This conversation was supposed to take place before last session, but we didn't get around to it so it is sort of a flashback thing. After Svana collapses, but before the wire grenade Eve takes Sir Robert out into the tavern's gardens to open up the lines of communication. She informs Sir Robert that Svana's illness is not fatal, and reveals the sex of the child to him. She also gives him an earful about the entire situation and urges him to take Svana home, before something really bad happens to her. She also gives him a lecture about the sin of lust. Eve also encourages him to confess his sins to her, so that they can start off on the right foot. The confessions will be happening very soon in subsequent emails :thumbup:

Eve, Sir Robert, and Baron Eviathan Hawkwood (This one is still going on)
Eve and Sir Robert meet with the Baron and try to figure out how to get Drake out of trouble with the Charioteers before he gets executed. Robert's original plan to speak with Mazzerin is not possible as he is "terribly ill" (code for 'out in the field'), so plan B is brought up. So It looks like Sir Robert and Eve will be paying a visit to Bran Botan vo Karm...which Eve is not thrilled about. The Baron also questions Sir Robert, about how he acquired one of his personal favor tokens (that was found on Frost), when the Baron knows for a fact he didn't give it to him.
