Session 11: Fever Swamp

Image
The 40th day of Summer in the Dying Lands... 6AM. Zaq's final fuck, marry, kill, mostly revolving around Daniel the townsperson (who keeps referencing "penis strings" and claims he's a virgin). Stile says he'll fuck him later for real, and Daniel accepts. Zaq cartwheels out of view and wishes the Motherfuckers good luck, explaining how he's going to loot the town dry while they explore the swamp. Fredrik, Joy, and Rake stay in town. The party prepares the items they're going to bring with them, as they won't be able to take Blasterace. Captain Roger joins the Motherfuckers.  Fever Swamp 1PM. The swamp's entrance. The party climbs aboard Captain Roger's raft and floats downstream.  2PM. Drowned corpses lay still at the bottom of the swamp. Roger gets tracy out and holds his stance, ready to inject at the sign of Hunger. Gorthron brings his joke book out for the first time in what could be a month and tells a joke. It flops. Roger tells a fish...

Session 10: Laser Moon

Image
  The 37th day of Summer in the Dying Lands... 1AM. Gorthron's on watch, as the rest of the party sleeps.  3AM. The blood moon charges, emitting a giant laser beam down to the surface of the world in the far distance. The sky sits empty of light. No more moon, no stars. Red electricity rattles through the ground, and it gets warmer.  4AM. Mistress, a cowboy dominatrix on the run, arrives bearing a torch in the pitch black of night. She joins the Motherfuckers on their journey, riding her horse.  5AM. Feyrien watch. 6AM. A skeleton with pinpoints of red light in its eye sockets shambles out of the field wielding a bronze sword from antiquity, shuddering towards Feyrien. She Turns Undead and wakes the rest of the party. Jane and Seth Blue's corpses rise from their freshly dug graves and start limping towards Blasterace. Gorthron kicks the wagon into high-gear and races South. The Undead 12AM. Skeletons and freshly dead buried corpses keep rising from the road. A p...

Session 9: The Four Horsemen

Image
The 36th day of Summer in the Dying Lands... 10PM. The Motherfuckers approach the commune of Scrap; three habitable buildings among a ruined village. A small garden, with more crops in development, and a cleared field by two tall trees. Malachi, a ragged swordsman introduces himself and the commune. Fredrik, Joy, Rake, and Jane are the other members of the group. Seth Blue says goodbye to the party and joins the others.  Scrap The Motherfuckers and Malachi investigate a wagon that Malachi says was left by Western Front soldiers (and was instructed NOT to investigate). They uncover the tarp, and it looks like Blasterace. Stile checks inside and sees a pile of dead bodies, the ones on top appearing like the Western Front soldiers the Motherfuckers killed in the past. 10:30PM. Malachi stands by the wagon, waiting for the soldiers to return. The Motherfuckers hide in the trees, alerting Zaq to come to their rescue when Feyrien whistles. Stile checks the wagon once more, finding Calyps...
