Morris' Wargaming Escapades

Fleeing from the brutal crackdown decreed by governor Mantis on people that are not up on their taxes, our drifters ( see session 0 ) meet in a back alley of the mega-city Nemain. They don't want to be pressed on the local guard to make up for their debt. They read on each others eyes the fear of being at the end of the rope. Sakir, a paranoid and resourceful enforcer tasked by a fringe religious group to scout the galaxy for ancient artifacts, suggests to the pair a temporary refuge.

 Who said it was a good idea to take the Catholic School girls for a graduation trip to Egypt? Of course, they had to desecrate a ruinous temple and enrage an avatar of the Serpent God Apophis. He summoned their old acquaintances: the zombie ventriloquist bunch. Father Morrison fought gallantly but it was not enough.

 You can't beat the awesome cinematic quality of Song of Blades and Heroes, with its activations, morale checks and abilities such as Terror or Drain.
