Session 7 & 8: The Baby Face Killas
These sessions were played on December 12th, 2021 (Session 7) and December 17th, 2021 (Session 8)
Session Seven – Lore Gathering and Experiments
Players
- Mozeus – Cleric 1
- Kallistus Gredz – Cleric 1
Recap
The session focused on research and experimentation. The party spent time in the Grand Archives reading about prior virus outbreaks and asking street sources about conspiracies. Theories ranged from revenge by supporters of Adolfus, to a natural plague, or a demonic curse.
Session Report
The clerics performed tests on skin samples from a previous zombie encounter. Using detect evil, they confirmed the zombies were supernatural, eliminating the natural plague theory. Believing Gredz’s blood held the cure, they attempted transfusions. Early experiments at an orphanage failed. Eventually, three beggars volunteered; one transformed into a hulking purple zombie. The party defeated the creature and fled as bystanders accused them of causing the transformation.
Session Eight – Elgen’s Stones and Sewer Adventure
Players
- Bluebow – Ranger 1
- Gideon – Assassin 1
- Hans Shortseneggar – Fighter 1
Recap
The party assisted an elderly woman, Elgen, in moving three large stone balls while navigating minor street threats. This led them into Krozpont’s sewers, where they gathered rat meat for mongrels she protected. Returning, they found Elgen’s house ransacked and her mongrel wards killed.
Session Report
Gideon initially pursued a target outside a tavern but was distracted by Hans Shortseneggar, who enlisted help in moving heavy stones. Bluebow joined, and the party handled street rats along the way. At J.F Smithy & Stoneworks, Hans intimidated the smith into preparing the stones, and the group transported them to Elgen’s house.
Returning, they encountered muggers; Hans used brute force, causing the street to crack and scaring them off. The party delivered the stones and gathered rat meat for Elgen’s hidden mongrels in the basement. While exploring the sewers, a stampede of rats nearly overwhelmed them, forcing a rapid retreat.
Upon returning, they found Elgen’s house ransacked. The mongrels were dead, and the hidden safe had been looted. Following a secret passage revealed by a painting, the party descended into a dark cavern. Gideon slipped during the drop, taking damage and falling unconscious. Bluebow improvised using mongrel robes as a rope to rescue both Hans and Gideon.
Inside the cavern, they learned from a surviving mongrel, Stu, that a gang of young attackers (“baby-faces”) had ransacked the house to send a message. The party reinforced the house, disposed of bodies, and prepared defenses, taking downtime to recover and sharpen their weapons in anticipation of future threats.
Aftermath
- Session 7: Lore gathered about virus origins; transfusion experiment conducted with mixed results.
- Session 8: Elgen’s stones delivered; sewer navigation completed; discovered attack by gang and ransacked house; secured cavern and reinforced base.
- Party prepared for potential follow-up conflicts with street gangs.
