Dratted players
Players, they have this curious habit of not responding to signals.
The bomb I dropped on Monrroyo the other day was a serious assault on two of their number, a mage and her guard. I gave every signal I could that the pair of them were going to die, but my players weren’t having any. One knocked himself out (literally) with Creo Corpus, and another is bringing her Kabbalah knowledge to bear.
So, okay, fine. They win. I’ve thought of another way of getting rid of this mage (because in a meta-game sense I need to; she belongs to a player who didn’t show up for the start and as best I can tell isn’t going to), one that doesn’t involve death or Twilight.
And one which might open up some very intriguing and quite unexpected leadership tendencies I’m seeing in, of all people, Ximun.
