Briefing

In the lamented absence of Meliadus of Kroiden, the Order of the Wolf are entangled in a struggle to find their next leader.

The Lord of Patterns would like to know who is appointed and has a few vetoes he would like to suggest.

Summary

Lord Serafin wishes us to ensure that the internal competition and strife amongst the Order of the Wolf continues as it bodes well with him at this time. He wishes us to travel to Perfidious Albion and review who are the likely leadership contenders and encourage them to withdraw by whatever means necessary. He would be delighted to hear of our success in this matter. He also mentions that London and Londinium have similarities current and Serafin's previously enunciated target of Mycrofts predictability engine that would be found in the british museum would see us needing no further action for serafin who would be incredibly grateful.

Onwards...

Scribe Notes

Session 1

Seagate - meet & greet

Our party of luminaries meet in Meeting room 3 and snack on wine and cheese before introducing ourselves. Introductions are mostly concise and sometimes rambling but all the salient points are made.
We have 2 candidates for Mil Sci with Thaeuss and Mungo. Mungo is the charge the enemy and never take a step back type of MS while Thaeuss follows the live to fight another day and get them when surprise is on our side - I believe this is the Engleton style vs a more measured style. Thaeuss wins with Mungo taking up the reins if its deemed necessary (with Thaeuss's demise) by the party.
Leadership is easily dealt with as we are heading to a predominantly human populated realm and so Prue is charged to lead us unless the situation changes.
I (Tsayoi) unfortunately volunteer to scribe yet again as the burdens of giantism weigh heavily upon me.

Serafin, The Lord of Patterns arrives and gives us the summary of his desires and shares some knowledge of Perfidious Albion with us. Details around that those in various order and/or socila classes often wear masks which define their roles and station in life. The lower classes wear cloth masks, middle classes more silken masks and the uppper classes possibly metal or some other mask material.

There are a number of Orders on Perfidiuos Albion and examples of these are;

• The Order of the Wolf - A militaristic order who wear wolf masks
• The Order of the Fly - A mechanical styled order who fly 'Ornothopters'
• The Order of the Viper - An order who use Alchemical and mechanical devices. We are advised to avoid these due to their weird experimental nature and nasty devices used in Amupules such as Venoms etc.
• The Order of the Vulture - An order we know little of.

Serafin isn't able to give us the names of any contacts in Perfidious Albion as he has none left to his knowledge so he bids us adieu and departs.

We recognise that access to PF is via a dimensional boundary upon a certain shore and we need to be able to see it in order to access the realm. We enquire about those who may have this ability to potion it and find a local priest Father Broc who makes one for us - however due to the ineptitude of the guild alchemists left at the guild at this time of the season it takes 3 time slonger than we thought at 9 days.

We use the 'gift of time' to do some research on PF and the previous scribe notes are well read. We also purchase a number of gems to take with us which we understand may help contain certain magic points if we come across certain types of magic. See List of Gems procured in Seagate. We get greaters done, linked life forces established and the other preperations we can think of and then depart.

Travel and we get to the Boundary

We arrive at 'The Certain Shore' after 2 weeks travel (13 days in the abyss) and we find a peculiar sea. We are informed that a Certainty will arrive here which will mean the end of the world at that time - so we plan not to be here then!
Prue discerns somethjing strange about the water in that its made from geometric flakes rather than pure water and we then become aware that a creature is coming towards us although as its in the water we can't see it - so we gird our loins for combat.
A See Hag (or Sea Hag) emerges and flings fish at us which miss most of us who had moved backwards away from the water except for Mungo who is struck by some fish and paralysed in place. The hag uses her gaze and luckily fails to kill anyone with her death gaze and the other nasty looks she gives us. We fight back and I apply beauty points to help me resist her stares which was just as well. My fusilade of flames launch at her and she is struck 8 times although only her fatigue is stripped, the rest of the party engage from a distance except for brave Keshah who uses his mighty sword to take her down. We rejoice when she finally falls.
The body is dragged onto the shore and 'cleaned' before being gutted, cut up (we get her eyes out) and then burnt to stop her returning.
We take her eyes and items as she no longer needs them and we can put them to better use. We wonder why she was here and Prudence does a Waters of Vision and locates a mile away underwater a portal between 2 large (12ft tall) obsidian pillars guarded by 2 Black Annis Hags which we determine we should definitely avoid. Prue does a limited Procognitive vision on the area and see a large 11ft wheel (a Throne) emerge and they interact.

The time to go is now and so we head for the dimensional boundary.
