Luke's Past is catching up

[sephiroa]

hi all!

 

just wanted to post this small session i have prepped for my party.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A RECAP NOR A COMPLETE SESSION THIS IS JUST SOME NOTES! i post them here so maybe some of you can use them for yourself.

 

the setting right now: after following a nasty necromancer that has some problems with someone from the party, they found his hideout. 

after some prepping they are ready to engage, thinking they will be able to kill him.

the party consists of 5 people but for this session i will give you a small background of 1 of them

Luke Stevenson, born in an administrator family as the first child. he also has a smaller sister that inherited the brains of her parents. Luke not so much.. more a brawny kind of guy, so hi became a bouncer in this underground saloon thingy, the nighthawk, after a nasty event that ended in a guy pulling a knife to kill someone and Luke tried to stop him bit killed him while doing so, Luke ran away to Malifaux with his baby sister. thinking he is safe. well. he was.. for now..

 

 

 

my notes for my session are these: 

 

Nathaniel (Nate) Cobb: Smart, Agile, very fast but very skinny for a bouncer. Although of the 2 Cobb brothers he is the most dangerous it seems. since his younger brother listens to what Nate has to say. Expert in martial arts en knows his way with knives. Nickname: Snakey Nate, whether this is because of his fighting techniques or his big Snake Tattoo on his body? you don't want to find out.

10 wds, bend as the willow (+ on defense).    2 card points    df: 8(18)

2/4/5 damage + attack, Stunning  (c)Hobbling attack: gains slow AV: 8(18)

2/3/5 folded steel, concealed blade. tubed -> bleeding out. ignores armour when used if target cannot dodge or is grappled

 

Joe Cobb, 2m15, of pure muscle. used to be a colleague of Luke. capable of killing an ox with his fists with a skull crushing blow. know in the bussiness as a bouncer for taking 5 union members at once and throwing them out of the saloon. His nickname: Iron fists Joe

12 wds: hard to wound   2 card points   df: 6(16)

2/3/6 + and + damage, Snaring AV: 8(18) (m) skull crushing blow: immediately take a consciousness (toughness) check at TN 15.

grapling attack AV8 (18) rst: Def. gain grappled condition(, TN 18 Might(double might) check to get out, when failing: paralyzed

 

Gerardo Lawrence, former owner of the saloon "the NightHawk", boss of the brothers Cobb and former boss of Luke. went after Luke bfor thrashing his entire club during a fight and want Luke to pay his debt to him.

A person with an enormous amount of money and influence. he needs a new place to do some bussiness. shady bussiness. Black market stuff, soulstones, trinkets, opium and other drugs, etc.

while Luke was out doing his stuff, he kidnapped Selene. right now he is hiding at the slums.

 

Nate and Joe will attack Luke when he is alone (probably while enjoying some females or when he is wandering arround the salloon) and tell him that Gerardo needs some things done.

if Luke says no, they will say that if he refuses, Selene will die. who is at this very moment in chains at Gerardo's.

these are the things he has to do:

 

Capture Quinn Keating, someone on the black market in the slums.

·         chase: rifle/pistol/melee on leg! if he dies=fail!

·         skills: athletics, track, wilderness, intimidate, notice, stealth

·         TN: 10: 6 margins of succes.

·         fails at 3 margins of failure

 

Cecelia Horton, Owner of a well named Club/saloon, She needs to be disposed of. but make it look like an accident! no unwanted attention!

·         skills: Engineering, Explosives, alchemistry, Labour, Athletics, forgery, gambling, music

·         TN 12: 6 margins of succes

·         fails at 3 margins of failure

 

In the little Kingdom there is an opium den that is currently low on resources and people. break in and steal the opium.

·         skills: Athletics, Stealth, Notice, Alchemistry, Doctor, acrobatics, lockpicking. music.

·         TN 14: 4 Margins of succes.

·         fails at 2 margins of failure

 

if the party succeeds. selene is released, shocked, but alive. altough this is far from over.

If 1 fails. Luke WILL pay. Selene will be held captive and luke will have to pay his debt to them in another way. If Luke want to attack Gerardo at his place. he will face the Cobb brothers + 5 Wastrels at the enforcer level + 2 hunter constructs at enforcer level and 1 peackeeper at the enforcer level. + Gerardo himself at Master Level, altough no one ever saw him participate in fight in person but the cobb brothers have an amount of respect and "fear" of him. a respect that cannot be achieved with money alone. 

 

 

cheers!
