kids want to sit and visit and help
he just wants his friends
they could affect him
rajive and david blasted him
hank ran into him
his image moved, like attacking a fire or water. it had an affect, but not normal.
quickly they 'defeat' him
the door which he had made disappear reappears when they hit him.
luke is grabbing elves and throwing them at button, who escapes through a tiny door.

David goes desol and starts seeing the world different.
hank is dark (atheist)
rajive is a bright source of light
Roy isn't here
Luke is grey
Seth is light, and has great power over his crystal creations (full GL like powers)

Hank makes statements like 'santa is not real', kids don't like this, evil santa's voice sounds in his head, laughing. and 'you might be my new priest'

stephen gets anxious, wonders what this ia about, really just the evil santa happy becuase he's attacking the faith of the little ones.

when they get back through the portal, hank hears the voice say, 'thank you'

hank has brought a part of evil santa with him into the real world.

Character review

each needs a relationship and issue with parents

each needs an arch vilian

this game, have each do both

Next game, it all comes together

Sky High 23

Ended with 6 on 6

krag
Crey security

So, field trip to the museum of antiquities.
Babylonians attack - really after Rajive
Smitty attacks - really after the scroll
Krag attacks - really trying to save his job? or getting the scroll for HIS master
Crey attacks - Really after David?
The Ray ?


NOTE - Hank and Eileen need a hunted.

Babylonian powers?
Krag needs a full character sheet
Crey needs agent powers

security devices on the scroll

Short game 2 hours

Paul/Zav
Ben/Chris

Orion/Leaflow
Ian/Ken
Sean/Eberk
Ryan/Thayer
Aidan/Stephan
Alex/Jayden



Wolfducks
Undead
kobold accountants

What kind of creature would the high undead use to sniff out foes?
rats?
birds?
rat-birds?
bugs
bug-men
-- fight against bug men as kids
see parents rally and not just drive them off, but slaughter them all ...

so if they chase the Abbot, he's gone to the hills, they should lose him unless they are good.

so they head into town?

What was the message from camp?
the bugs are back, or what do you know about bug men?

what will they find in the library?
books on magic and battle
books on books
history of region
books about evil books
books about the legions of the land
books about battles

botany
history
magic
--elemental magic
--magic of the land
--religious magic

Brothers hum for a while, have a big meeting
pick a new Abbot
--ie ignore them for a long time so they can wander if they wish.

If they go to town, the Guild leader there is one of many clones of Thewel. Dice or cards, likable, sharp,
barfight - worms
street fight - caterpillars
Guild hall fight - large catty in hall
Worlfducks in woods (if they pursue into the mountains) - HUGE

flashback to town
kids see a worm in the street - what do they do?
play with it? see it stand and look at them?
does it leave them and go somewhere?
do they tell their parents?
parent freek!
sorceress runs to pool, or orders child to bring the bowl of fresh clean water

flashback end

game end

attacked by 7 wolfducks which drive them toward one huge Wurm
HUGE WURM - 45 HP, meld stats up from HUGE, but not to Gargatuan

FC 10

1- Ian has a track meet, won't be home until 9 ish
2- Orion has another event, won't arrive until after 8, possibly 8:30
3- Ben and Paul have an early Saturday morning, need to leave 10ish.


So, I think we need to start with a flashback, with multiple scenes, or a brief leap forward to another time when their were just a subset of the guys.
Then leap to the confrontation in the Library for about an hour of game once everyone is there.

a- What spell is the Abbot casting?
b- What part of the history of the parents should/could come out? How do we make them look bad again?
c- What adventure can I send the kids on? The stable scene is still there to be used

up here on the cliff on this side of the mountain is the Abbey

bats and rats trailing

WolfDucks trailing -nipping at them
once that gets rough, they break off

Sophomore Year - Questions

Questions
-what is the Hydra up to?
Trying to take over the world!

-why is he attacked by mythological creatures?
They are the defenders of something, like the natural order. Their mission is to control magic in this world. They have their own pocket universe they return to when destroyed. Just like the world of Lightning Theif but sort of backwards (they are the good guys)

-how is the staff/wand important?
It does mind control/mind wipe. Used correctly it might bring back all mythologies in a major catastrophe.

-how can they hope to defeat him?
-can I make him a recurring villain?
-What will the Gods do this year?
Continue to harrass Rajive.
Who is next?

-What is Crey up to?
-Who is Krag working for now?
-What is the Ray plotting?
-Will the Fire Dept come down on Roy?
-Where are the Tiny Purple Babalonian Warriors hiding?
-Does Henry have a hunted?
