First Session (15 page pdf) “Auction of Souls” – We are happily selling off our tomb raiding loot when it goes all Walking Dead in the city of Wati. We save some locals and then start trying to quell the problem.
The auction starts out as an exercise in whipping up the interest of buyers. Everyone tries to talk the attendees into bidding on our lots. My favorite was the Andorens who were looking for weapons; we had a lot with weapons and a chariot together, but they weren’t interested in the chariot. But Khaled, knowing Andorens are all about emancipating slaves, spun a tale about Harrieteb Ptubman and her Underground Chariotway in ancient Osirion that helped slaves escape from the pharaohs and they bought it (and the lot!).
Amadjawet the Hot Mummy
And then the zombies attack! (After we get paid, luckily). We beat back the first wave but then see a whole bunch of zombie hands coming down the street (from the display of severed thief hands in the public square). When Usif and Denat go into the kitchen to find something to burn them with they’re beset by what we all agreed was a curiously hot mummy.
We defend the inn for a while until it’s clear it won’t hold up forever; we exfil the noncoms across the roof and withdraw. We escort them to the Temple of Pharasma where it’s safe. We get requisitioned to go out as an anti-undead strike force, so we do.
Balthemm
We find various targets of opportunity. We help a priestess named Balthemm by the necropolis wall; she had character art and a hypno-shield and everything so we hope she recurs. Some of the events are combats, others are irate crowds, friendly fire from others fighting the undead, etc.
Then we find out that Ptemenib the Pharasmin priestess has been nabbed by the Silver Chain, both my thieves’ guild’s enemy but who are also involved in this necromancy business. But at the same time some rezzed judge is popping out eyeballs of the townsfolk on a murder crusade. So, we gotta go deal with that… Next time!
P.S. This is what the Internet gives you when you Google “hot mummies”…
