Untold Solo Play through - this was my first run though using this system...currently on kickstarter, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/roryoconnor/untold-adventures-await/description , Rory O'Connor, John Fiore

Here are all of my notes and such, a bit formulatic, but helped tell the tale.

Here is the premise -

Monster Hunters Inc. Ep. 1

This is going to be about a group of hunters for hire and general finding and slaying or doing away with monsters, ghost and/or spook haunting Earth.


Here is the play through ---

Danger Scene -

A location, a threat, an attack by the threat or to someone/something.

A roll of the dice and I decide -
A apple tree this is my location
A turtle is my threat
Based upon these 2 icons I am going to go with, A farm in the heartland
of America is being overrun by a savage group of evil humanoid turtle like demons who are attacking something.

Questions for the Danger Scene (4)

What is being attacked? The turtle demons, know as the Z’luth, have uncovered a hidden cache of temple artifacts, in the barn of the farm.
Why do they want these artifacts? If the artifacts are captured the Z’luth will be able to influence and control all the demons in the Plane of Dread.
How did the Z’luth discover that the artifact were at this farm? The goddess of the night, She-lath, told them of it existence and location.
Have the Z’luth dispatched the residents of the farm? The Z’luth feed the locals to their “god”.

Time for the Hero -

Enter Tybo Rastor, wielder of magic and carrier of a sword cane.

Actions for the Danger Scene (4)

Rastor arrives at the location he wants to determine the Z’luth’s weakness by using his magical powers.
Reaction - green card, with embarrassed face and but
Rastor discovers that the source of the turtle demons strength is a magical fish suspended on the moon, but since he has no way of getting there he can’t attack them and destroy them.

Rastor, knowing that the locals are all gone, decided to burn the farm down by summoning a firestorm.
Reaction - green card, sweaty face and a but
Rastor manages to summon up the firestorm, but the strain of it weakens his power. After doing this the farm has been burnt to the ground.

Rastor wants to find the magical artifacts, by sifting through the remains of the farm.
Reaction - Rastor finds the artifacts, but they have been burned and melted into nothingness, thus losing Rastor his bonus for retrieving strange and odd items for the MHi Hall of Wonders.

Rastor wants to find out how the artifacts got here in the first place, by examining remnants of the farmhouse.
Reaction - red face, a hmm hadn’t seen that face, with BUT
Rastor makes a superhuman effort to find an trace of who brought the artifacts to the farm and finds nothing. But, while searching he stumbles upon a sealed box, not listed or seen as an artifact for the Z’luth.

End of Danger Scene off to the Intrigue scene

Intrigue Scene -

Checking the card it is an evil Master connected to the threat….the threat is the Z’luth the evil master is …… I used the light bulb here to come up with the Evil Lighting Slinger Gulah.

Questions for the Intrigue Scene (3)

Why was Gulah involved with the Z’luth? Used the multi-directional die. Gulah wanted the Z’luth to distract the MHi from his plan to steal the earth’s gravitational field.

How is Gulah going to steal the gravitation field? Used the tree icon. By depleteing the green area around the farm which is a node of power which will allow Gulah to tap into the earth’s gravitational field.

How is Gulah planning on enacting his plan? Used the foot icon. By sacrificing a few Z’luth and the surrounding areas critters it will force open the node by overpowering it with energy of life and death (demons).

End of the Intrigue Scene onto the Confrontation Scene

Confrontation Scene -

A location, a threat, attacking Rastor.

Rolled a flower, interpreted it to be a Sun City, decided it would be Jodhpur in India.
The threat is more Z’luth from the first scene.

Questions for the Confrontation Scene (2)
Why did Rastor go to Jodhpur? Used the book icon. Rastor during his search of the MHi database uncovered a reference to Gulah that mentioned his base of operation was believed to be out of Jodhpur because of the brightness of the sunshine there.

How did the Z’luth find Rastor? Used the water fountain icon. The Z’luth, utilizing the demon network of give and take, spoke to shadowed group called the Kutar, who gave them information about Rastor’s whereabouts.

Actions for the Confrontation Scene (4)

Rastor attempts to elude his pursuers by ducking and weaving through the many varied streets of Jodhpur.
Reaction - green face, sweaty looking, but
Rastor manages to run away from them, but they have herded him into a a cul-de-sac where an ambush has been set for him.

Since Rastor exhausted him magic, he pulls his cane sword to do battle and slay the Z’luth, who had ambushed him, or at least banish their mortal forms.
Reaction - green face, embarrassed face and BUT
Rastor manages to pull his cane sword out, but only manages to lop the head off 1 Z’luth before the green blood on the handle causes him to lose his grip on the cane and it flies away from him.

Rastor steels his nerves and begins to hammer away at the remaining Z’luth with his fists.
Reaction - red card, face is crying and AND
Rastor makes a valient effort, but realizes his efforts are in vain. Even though he knocks them back the continue to flood into him and eventually drag him down.

I am going to end the scene here, looks like a good end point so on to the Revelation

Revelation Scene -

Question for the Revelation scene (1)

What do the Z’luth want with Rastor? Rastor was the one they had wanted all along, by his death he would unleash enough power to open the portal since he is a potent magic user.

Showdown Scene -

This scene opens with Rastor strapped to a throne made of bone. Gulah and the Z’luth are there at the farm from the first scene. Rastor is groggy but realizes he is about to be sacrificed.

Action for this Scene (6)

Rastor is going to attempt to free himself from his bonds by trying to find a weakness in them.
Reaction - green card, face of hmmm I that stinks, and a but
Rastor after probing the shackles realize they are magical shackles, he knows he is weakened, so is concerned how this might affect him.

Rastor is going to summon his magical powers to undo the binds surrounding him.
Reaction - green card, face is O Ya shitty grin, and
Rastor feels the flood of his magic back into his body, he can feel it coursing through his body, so much so that it causes his body to shine, this releases the fetters surrounding him and lights him with POWER.

Rastor wants to kill Gulah by spewing forth a column of green power in the shape of a giant arrow.
Reaction - red card, didn’t see that coming and a but.
Rastor’s arrow blast flashes into existence, but as it speeds towards Gulah a lone Z’luth jumps up and into the arrow. The Z’luth vanishes into an explosion of black goo, some of which gets onto Gulah, who now notices that Rastor is freed from his bonds.

Rastor realizing that he was the reason for all of this decides discretion is the better part of valor, there are always other battles and no need to lose the war, so Rastor wants to leave the area, by calling in air transport from MHi headquarters.
Reaction - red face, a neutral expression and a BUT
Rastor calls in for an air transport, but MHi is only able to send him a car with one support staff. The support staff is killed getting Rastor out, but Rastor manages to make it back to MHi headquarters for some rest and recovery.

This episode will be titled “All Burnt Out”.
