Climbing Back onto the Flying Island

Story Games Bite Sized Quotes

Last session on Kerberos Fate, we ended on a cliffhanger, with Lady Alice telekinetically knocked off the floating island (did I mention there was a floating island?), the 9-inch clockwork faerie Sophronia falling into the air ducts leading to the middle of the island, Reginald locked in human shape facing a powerful warrior shaman, and Victor -- polishing off the last of his foes and realizing that Alice's telepathic link no longer connected him to his allies. To his credit, the first person he looked for was his fiance (NPC) Angelina, who was with (NPC) Lord Mace. They were being attacked by invisible monsters.

Victor (thinking to himself): He's presumably put up a barrier around himself and Angelina. (recalls that Lord Mace's magic requires breaking social taboos and that Lord Mace's favored tactic involves orgies) Curse you, Lord Mace!

But, he lost no time rescuing the two. After all, he didn't want Lord Mace using any more magic than absolutely necessary. At that point, Victor got quite curious about the invisible monsters.

Victor: Do they become visible when dead?

GM: Yes.

Victor: Oh, isn't that interesting? Oh -- Angelina, are you all right?

Victor then asked Lord Mace if he could use magic to locate Alice, Lord Mace's fiance. Victor wasn't keep on Lord Mace getting at all intimate with Angelina, but did remind Lord Mace that he'd kissed Victor once to do some minor magic.

Lord Mace: Are you suggesting that I have an orgy with you and your fiance to find my fiance?

Victor (with alacrity): No.

Lord Mace: Pity. I thought it was a lovely idea. If you will forgive the insult, there is a reason that civilized folk like you do not dabble in magic, Mr. Knight.

Victor: The insult is forgiven.

Eventually, everyone regrouped, dealt with invisible monsters and visible warriors, and, ultimately, the poor schmuck who was being possessed by the new Martian race. The fellow fell off the island, obviously dying, as No One Could Have Survived That, and the Kerberans currently have a floating island. This is probably temporary, although it is amusing to ponder whether they can stash the (about 4 miles in diameter) island in the Kerberos Club, which has an Aspect of Worst. Filing. System. Ever.

Don't you thin he'dwant to be good?

R: Just as much as the rest of us.

I want to be good. I want to be very good. I don't know what the rest of you are talking about.

He's presumably put up a barrier around himself and Angelina... Curse you, Lord Mace!

And I'm impatient and I don't want to have Lord Mace maintaining this field for any longer than he has to!

Gee, I wonder why...

Everyone in this party is either bi or straight.

I'm brass -- that is my orientation.

This is undignified -- rectify this at once

I think that rectifies the situation nicely

Do they become visible when dead?

Yes.

Oh, isn't that interesting? Oh -- Angelina, are you all right?

Are you suggesting that I have an orgy with you and your fiance to find my fiance?

No.

Pity. I thought it was a lovely idea.

If you will forgive the insult, there is a reason that civilized folk like you do not dabble in magic, Mr. Knight.

The insult is forgiven.

You've found your balance -- I was going to say you found your feet, but they were never lost.

Indeed, they're right here.

You're not sure there are invisible _people_ in this room; you are sure there are invisible _beings_ in this room.

Alice, how's it going? Alice? Alice?!

I think it may be time to find people and point out that we have an army to beat up.

Right, I need to get Alice inside your head. Alice? Victor? Sophronia?

Sophronia and Reginald taking contol of a flying island

So my love, we have a project

Maybe we can find another way in...

Why are you keeping him alive?

Why do we keep anyone alive?

_Toss_

Take him, drain him, hold the blood in pouches in mouth as paint for creatures

Reginald... this way.

Sorry, darling.

I'm glad you're not dead!

Well, yes.

He threw Alice off an island!
