Session 13- Kill the Hippos, Part 3

by Theral Animatrous

Killed all the hippos; searched the ship

  • Cleric's room- found a book; will have to translate later

  • Shrine to the hippo god- investigated altar; found some sort of control panel for the circle

  • Captain's Quarters- contained a desk, bookshelves and an armor stand

    • Loot:
  • 4 bottles of "Giffy's high quality shaz"

  • 2 syringes filled with liquid

  • 8 bags of Giff stamped electrum worth 1000 electrum


    • Things to translate:
    Giff bible- blessing is the "word of the emperor"; NOT AN ENTIRELY TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE
  • Giff have a rigid society; everyone needs a purpose otherwise you're a pleb; those who have exceptional value

  • In exchange for increased societal standing, the blessed are bound to the emperor's will cannot purposefully cause harm to the emperor or empire; most high ranking Giff officials under this blessing

  • Serve the empire faithfully and you'll become a chosen serving the empire indefinitely; book implies that there's never been more than one emperor

    • Deployment orders
  • Phosphorous class destroyer "bringer of light" deployed from Dragonside naval base heading North to investigate a "rogue magical signal"

  • Dated around time that we met Monomon in the tower; stamped with a unique seal

    • Half-written report
  • Report on being stranded on Dragon Isles; 15 constructs lost to "indigenous flora/fauna"

    • "Your constructs and you: a primer on construct warfare"
  • Standard tactics are large swarms of dumb droids with smarter constructs as "managers"; Giff are strictly support engineers or high level staff

  • Flaw in constructs is that they don't have any mounted units; more intelligent constructs are dedicated to other tasks than warfare

  • Not a "proper battle" unless a land dreadnaught is present on the battlefield

  • Constructs bound to obey those who are blessed by the emperor

    • "Uses and Limits of Soulcore power systems"
  • 2 categories of cores: power cores and true soul cores

  • Created at the soulforge by sacrificing false believers to the forge; core power correlates with the soul (like the ship soul reactors)
