STATIC 32: Back to New Carydam
General Summary
Wherin the Blinkertons return to New Carydam to find it more unstable than when they left.
From the Ceaseless Drifts to New Carydam
Before they arrived in No Future, our heroes discovered just how frayed and tenuous the cords of the Skein have become. In a dream-like state, the Blinkertons were confronted with various memories and experiences of their adventures so far that had been interwoven with each other, distorted from their original state. Naturally, these beings were confrontational and combat ensued. Fortunately, our adventurers prevailed, providing them with a stark reminder of just what is at stake with this endeavor. Namely--reality as they know it. Our gumshoes arrived back in No Future after this battle, no worse for wear. They discovered, however, that the same cannot be said of New Carydam. Skruzz, their partner in No Future, explained that the city has been much been getting more and more unstable in their absence, which was the better part of a month. Now, as the month of Vision approaches the month of Fortune, the very fabric of the city's existence seems to be coming apart. It was determined, therefore, to go see Rare Zoramar and Messelum post-haste, which was a good decision, as they wanted to see them anyway. So, Nero Rubicant, Sharkbait, Corinna Himmelswander, Hypatia and Goos set out for the Fickle Fortune Palace of Entertainments. The dangers now inherent in navigating the city found them soon enough. This time, it took the form of some Displaced Bonespill Owlbears, which just oozed necrotic energy. Combat ensued and our Blinkertons found themselves joined by another Displaced creature, but this one was friendly: Froggi, the giant sentient alchemical skunk, joined the battle and promptly got his ass handed to him. Fortunately, everyone survived, setting the stage for a brief catch-up session on the way to see Rare and Messelum.And That's Where We Left It
We'll see what other dangers New Carydam holds for our heroes during our next session.Varied & Sundry Details
