Esteamed Call to Arms
James: I get an invitation to war by Lord Mekka. The Esteamed League vs. Carpe Noctem. Time to make sure my colander helmet and nerf gun are up to spec.
Lord Mekka wants to take advantage of a rules loophole in order to take over the LARP crap in the area. Okay, whatever. We decide to help.
Underhanded Dealings (Taking Control of the LARP)
James: So we go to Posvar Hall. I speak with the Twilight-wannabes, and we start up the LARPing. Then I call a meeting, invoke the "no confidence" loophole, and help install Lord Mekka as the supreme king motherfucker or whatever. Then all hell breaks loose.
Kicking Wolf Asses
Ilke: I knew there was something weird about the way Kim was behaving, but I wasn't really in the mood for an interrogation and I had a game to get back to, so I decided to let it go. The first thing I saw when I came back into the hallway was Brick being trampled by an actual Werewolf, and Chang coming towards us looking like... a mecha-vampire? I didn't take me long to piece together what was happening - every player around us seemed to be taking on the characteristics of their chosen characters.
I didn't have much more time to guess why this was happening - the werewolves had clearly lost their senses and were out for blood. As a group, we've managed to hold our own in combat before but this time... we barely seemed to get away with our lives. Within minutes, we were all badly injured, and the wolves were lying on conscious, but still alive... as far as we could tell.
It was only after the fight that it dawned on us that none of us had transformed. I did, however, take note of the fact that Chang must have been involved in some kind of double agent activity to be taking on both vampire and mecha traits. This would be something to take up with Lord Mecha later - or whatever he's become...
James: Yeah, these fake LARPer werewolves turn into REAL werewolves somehow. And attack. God, they hit hard. I'm pretty sure I went down for the count at one point. My friends and I manage to stomp them down.
Chang appeared during the battle, sporting some vampiric AND steam-powered enhancements. Fuckin' lunatic.
Garlic Bagel Necklaces
James: We slink around this normal-building-turned-medieval-environment, and come across some more signs of grisly battles. When inspecting a particularly gruesome scene, involving piles of bodies with their arms removed and missing, I see something that stops my heart. THE CHICK WITH THE PURPLE STREAK IN HER HAIR IS HERE! And is an Esteamed League member. So goddamned hot.
I don't remember much after that, I was pretty smitten. Something about investigating further, and maybe garlic bagels. Probably for Brick.
Discovering Dirk and the Back Way to Doom
James: As we creep down the halls towards the starting area, I see a vamp-LARPer who is trying to hide and failing. I rush up to him to prevent him from turning invisible and running away. I want some answers.
Too bad Dirk Hide can't hide. Also too bad he doesn't know shit. Blah. So we let him run away.
