Questions from Blood and Chutney

[Dr. L. Loki]

Feel free to list your questions, and I will answer them the best I can. Though much time has passed since we played. 

[Brain Waster]

What were the other map disk clues and what did they lead to?
How did they all fit together?
Who was V?
What was this all leading to?

[Dr. L. Loki]

Given the nature of the story there are multiple layers.  I will start with the surface answers, and if people have more questions we can dig deeper if needed.


Spoilers (The only ruining is for those who like the mystery.  "Lost" ending vs. "Battlestar Gallactica" ending)

What were the other map disk clues? 
- To be answered later (notes are buried)

What did they lead to?
- The disk pointed to a pattern item for each of the Barsaivian 12 passions.
- These twelve items, in conjunction with the disk (seal) released the thirteenth passion (Death).

Who was V?
- V was the power behind the Men of V, hunters of the 12 pattern items
- V was Vestrial

What was this all leading to?
- This in an interesting question, the short answer is a conflict between Dre'agg and the other players, the new Men of V.
- The story involved many plots of Vestrial, many of which countered his own plans.  He is insane after all....or was he...

I know these answers most likely created new questions, so feel free to ask!  Questions like why would they do this or that will have multiple answers given Vestrial was involved.

I loved this campaign and discussing it is always a blast!

[Dr. L. Loki]

Wow, I must have answered all the questions!  That was easier than I thought.

[Brain Waster]

I'd still like to know the other riddles and what/where the led to.

[Dr. L. Loki]

Good news.  We cleaned out the basement.  What does that mean, I found everything...and I mean everything.  So I will try time this weekend to post the last items up.  I know the riddles I wrote before each session.  I had to do this since it was based on your location, or if they moved.  Though I can put the original locations up. 

[TheWake]

I'm sure I'll read your answers and have questions to ask.

Next question?

[TheWake]

But what did they do? Other than the basics, did they have anything special that would be discovered eventually?

[Dr. L. Loki]

Groups involved and their motivations:

The men of V (Blood and Chutney) - To stop everybody

Vestrial - Release Death, Keep Death imprisoned, Corrupt the other passions, save the other passions, etc.

Dre'agg as the Servant of Yrsgrathe - Use the power of the items to force open a gateway to allow
Yrsgrathe in this world, and control the passions

Dre'agg as himself - Save Blood and Chutney and himself from Yrsgrathe and trap him just like Death

Therans - Find pattern items of Barsaive to make disrupt it true pattern and merge it with Thera's for the war effort

Keys of Death - Release Death.

[Dr. L. Loki]

But what did they do? Other than the basics, did they have anything special that would be discovered eventually?

What didn't they do?

Some were pattern items others were thread items.

The Faceted Lie - Thread Item - Teleportation
Orchid - Upandel - Pattern Item - It created a longing for Wyrm Wood (Upandel created it in essence for Wyrm Wood)
Acorn - Pattern Item - Enhanced growth of all vegetation

Chains of the Master - Thread Item - Weapon

Next?

[Dr. L. Loki]

The items (or any pattern items of the passions) and a ritual would break the seals of Death's prison.  This would release her upon the world once again, and the 13th passion would return.  Very epic.

[TheWake]

The Banesword Screech, The Storm Armor, Kegel's Sword, Blades of Cara Fahd, The Scythe, The Headband...

[Dr. L. Loki]

A lot of those items were straight from the books. 

[TheWake]

I don't have the books!
