Family Troubles

16 April 2008-

After our brief foray into Supers, we're back to our regular GURPS: Fantasy campaign. Our party, having recovered from our recent undeath (except for Jeff, who kept his options open by keeping his soul jar- the rest of us got rid of ours) did some shopping and some general hanging about town before hearing of an opportunity for adventure in a nearby region. Along the way, we decided to take the opportunity to visit Jeff's cousin's territory (she's married to a local chief of some sort) along the way.

On the journey there, we saw some raiders in the distance, and when we arrived we discovered that Jeff's cousin (Pretislava or something like that) was burying her late husband, whose warband had been slaughtered by the forces of a rival chief. It seems that this rival is making a move on Jeff's cousin, and has set about wooing her in the locals' quaint traditional way- by killing her husband and threatening to invade and conquer her lands. Being the hopeless romantics we are, we've decided to help her keep her holdings, and have set ourselves up to defend the fort, at least until some more of her late husband's forces return from various postings abroad. We haven't worked out the details yet, but we're also thinking that perhaps we should arrange for this rival to become a head shorter- you just don't mess with family!
