Story Synopsis for Fall LARP #6 (2017)

LARP

Outside a bustling tavern, a group of brave adventurers gathered. Included in their number were the following valiant souls:

Morgan Badshot is a human bounty hunter with two guns and a sword.

A Cultist for the Deep Ones wields an incredibly powerful book that drives mortals insane. He also knows some magic spells.

Coraline is a robber who stole a picture of a Weeping Angel that turned her into half a Weeping Angel. Because she is only half Weeping Angel, you have ten seconds to blink or you die. If you blink, you get teleported away from her. She has also stolen the weapons of Vanessa Lockheart, the pirate.

Fuzz is a medieval boat warrior.

Jake is a ninja with kunai knives. Jake can always dodge a first strike but only that first strike. His kunai knives are so short range it looks like he’s using his hands as weapons. He can also double his knives from two to four.

The Time Lord is a time traveler with 13 lives. He’s allergic to aspirin and he knows the future and every war.

The Duelist cannot use guns but also cannot be harmed by guns.

The Wanderer is a seemingly ordinary enough human who is immune to gas weapons due to his superior technology.

The Shadow has just joined the brave band and is basically a ghost that can turn into a shadow, teleport and use a shield but is weakened by water, air and fire. Light burns him, so he wears a hood. He’s also weak against magic and poison, but magic that uses poison cannot harm him. He has a disintegration sword but can only use it after he’s hit somebody ten times.

Zed is an immortal. He can’t be killed, but he can disintegrate like a zombie. He also isn’t particularly interested in the lives of others and so he will move on if the rest of his team is killed or disappears. His magical sword can kill magical beings.

Ace is a ¼ Dragon, ¼ Phoenix, and ½ Human. The Dragon gives Ace wings, which he keeps hidden, and the ability to breathe within fire and to breath fire out as a weapon. The Phoenix allows Ace to come back to life, to change the size of his dragon wings and his height, and to ignite himself on fire. The Human gives Ace the appearance of a 9-foot-tall 14-year-old human, although he is 2,004 years old. Ace’s great24-grandparent is Death and loves possessing Ace. His grandfather on his dragon-phoenix side is the first dragon, also known as the Lightning Dragon. Spade is Ace’s half-brother. Ace’s memory of the past 1,990 years has vanished … aside from a few scattered memories of the Lightning Dragon and Death. He was fortunate to retain his combat skills which are now instinctive. He is adept at severing limbs.

Storyteller Zed speaks

Lord Maul has opened an arena for gladiators and is offering fabulous prizes at a grand tournament. The adventurers are using this event as an opportunity to get close enough to kill him.

It is a good day to die … and be revived!

The adventurers set off for the grand tournament, traveling down winding paths through dark and dangerous forest and onto the sacred island desecrated by Lord Maul’s arena, where they registered to participate in Lord Maul’s grand tournament.

At the tournament, the adventurers staged two large battles between two teams. The blue team claimed victory in the first battle, but the second battle ended in a disputed draw. They then staged a capture-the-flag demonstration for Lord Maul and his minions which the blue team won handily. They then staged another one, but unfortunately by Lord Maul had to leave the arena because he got sick, so the opportunity to destroy him never materialized.

The storyteller for Fall LARP #7 on 19 October 2017 will be Fairyboy.
