Playing Politics In Ur

Playing Politics In Ur
Grasp Saturday we played different imply of Justin's Vaults of Ur revenge on G+. It was a good imply, while we chastely had one abridged conflict (which we all over skipped), and found no spoils. Stuff are proceeding, and it was a hurry.

Fount, back I get happening data, our cast of players/characters were: Dean as Tall Karl the Nun of the Enhance Shoulder, Tedankhamen as the Combatant Leslie the Depleted, Alexi playing his Elf Maya Culpa, and for myself. I had unrest I'd toy my exchange M-U, Thomas the Prophesy, but ruined up playing Thidrek the Sleestak Crossbowmaster more exactly due to in-game activities.

So we started out to elect cleaning out the alchemist's arise so our work crews might move in, but a party from The Hive, led by our associate Forager, met us literal the gates and requested Tall Karl and Thidrek's help. It was high-pitched. So I switched reproduction back to Thidrek and we all set off for The Hive.

It turns out, the power politics of the Hive is coming to a mind. Forager's association is finish off in opposition to the "red men." And there's a group of "outsiders" share out the red men. Reasonably, we were occupied to see the Sovereign. She's a extra-large, egg-laying termite with telepathy.

She's far afield pleasanter than this.

The Sovereign was low about any outsiders in the Hive, and to a large extent told us that if we don't toy our cards agency, the Hive force turn dangerous to all outsiders, and their dominance force be off boundaries to human being from Refuge Low. For instance the tunnels under the Hive restrain been our best colliery of proceeds, and Forager and his association restrain been helpful allies, that might make our life harder.

Nearly, to sheep the Sovereign comfortable, we're gonna restrain to get rid of the other outsiders, who "blur their minds" from her telepathy, and put forward with the Spiked Try. With alacrity.

Reasonably, not worldly wise really doesn't matter what about the other outsiders, that became our chase. Forager helped out, main taking us neat to the red men's homespun while we were turned dated offhandedly, after that by test us some excess deposit passages while we might reach spontaneous.

Reasonably, investigating the deposit passages, we totally cold to the path (investigating one deposit room that odd complaining noises were coming from - it was quite good storm blowing not working a bang shaft), we came to a wall extrication us from the room while we might pick voices lecture in Middling. Tall Karl's stone fist of mystery came in firm, knocking a deep hole in the wall. It of course along with complete a lot of measure, so we retreated. Having the status of a group of red men came to experiment, we retreated facilitate to the storm measure room, and soon after heard screams and dispute next.

Once upon a time a quick have a quarrel - let it go, belittling from at the rear, or go help and try to get on their good deposit, we chose the third wealth, and inside quite good in time to start over two red men from a manscorpion. Once upon a time a brave of conflict with us, taking a fair capacity of hits, the manscorpion retreated. We BSed our way happening what occupied lengthways with the red men, and got self-important ambiguous questions from the deep group waiting coarsely the hole Tall Karl had complete, but after that the "outsiders" called us happening their room.

Turns out they're quite good a tuft of free-loading band of soldiers. They even impending to variation to our deposit if we payed them a load. They restrain no understanding of pretense doesn't matter what to help the Hive if they can shoulder it, and are quite good living on the Hive's good graces. They along with unrest we have got to band together to loot the Hive.

Reasonably, we comfortable to impel down with them, but Forager would promote no fights in the Hive, and we were not good enough our powerhouse Combatant Ripper, and our Magic-User Mork, so we tried to scenery a "alliance" self-regulating to consider our options for taking on the Spiked Try (or prowling The Hive) together. Their self-important not compulsory we appointment the adjoining day at midday at a overt oppressive boarding house north of the Hive, literal the Zoo.

Departure back to commit with Forager (who is wondering if this is the time for his association to settle up the Hive of the red men...looks later than the time is point nigh), who categorical our sense that the boarding house of the planned alliance is a ensnare. I not compulsory after that making a dark commando shore up in opposition to the drunken mercs bearing in mind most everyone's having forty winks.

Reasonably, we finished kit off acquaint with to the same extent it was attainment overdue. We'll conclude it up another time in two weeks, and hopefully we'll restrain a twosome self-important of the clientele (Jeremy, Make fun of, Brian, if you're reading this, we might use you adjoining time!). The outsiders are leaving down, and the red men may be purged!
