The Rending, Part I
You are the Nameless. You are connected, plugged in, aware, and at the ready at all times. You are the shadowy rulers of Six Towers and a solid bloc of power within Duskwall, the shining jewel in the crown of Akaros. You have built your criminal empire brick by brick, plank by plank. The foundations are solid, and your towers are tall.
Thus, when your spies and scryings and senses tell you of what is said below, you are not lost to panic. You can plan and prepare, where others might only panic and pray.
Below, echoing through the cavernous ruined temple of the Dimmer Sisters, over the ever-present crackle of Blighter’s sleeping body, Render’s voice booms forth.
Rise. Today we take the city.
Session Recap
As Render’s troops stage a hostile takeover of Duskvol, the Nameless create a worthy enemy for Render himself – and live-stream the subsequent cage match to the whole of the Empire.
-The Spider has been merged with Box-Blighter/Scurlock, and is in the midst of a truly Zach-Snyderian bout with Render in the middle of the Nameless Arena
-The Nameless have turned this into a full-on money-making opportunity and have collected 14 Coin from Render’s troops and members of the public, essentially putting a delay on the full-on fascist crackdown in Duskwall that is in progress
-THERE IS A FULL-ON FASCIST CRACKDOWN IN PROGRESS
-Cruncho has erased the basement Lugos factory from all municipal records, AND has seeded evidence that the Nameless have secretly been incredible charitable donators to the government
-Cruncho has another Spirit Warden corpse
-Jammer has slain Sven the Crow and, in the process, gone from being haunted by the Babadick to becoming the Babadick
-Katya introduced herself to Sam (Casta’s mom) shortly before the mega-Spider mortally wounded the Black Knight
-Lady Strangford is dead and Strangford Manor is blown up, both by the Spider’s hand
-People across the Empire are watching this fight through ghost-TV, including the Immortal Emperor
And most importantly. . .
This is all still in progress. Render and Blighter/Spider/Scurlock Splighterlock are still fighting. Our next session will, in-universe, be taking place at some point directly after this.
