Fall episode 3 – “How the Mighty…”
It’s been a little while since I’ve written about the Buffy game I’m in, Fall. Since my last post we’ve had two more sessions. You can read about Episode 2: Legends of the Fallen over on Jenni’s blog, but as I had to leave early I don’t have a lot more to add.
Last weeks episode was How the Mighty and our intrepid heroes continued to blunder their way through the occult, crime and homework. After being caught up on what happened the session before we leapt right into breaking into the leader of the school’s secret society’s house, through a bait and switch. Unfortunately despite really effectively we only managed to find a slightly cryptic journal and not the big leather bound book we were after.
We had some really great character development with Alex finally acknowledging that she might be the Slayer. Though it took being confronted about leaping from a tree branch to the roof of a house (and then pulling open a locked window), throwing Darius across a car when he wouldn’t let it go and finally being targeted by a Slayer finding spell (cast, not surprisingly by Darius) before she started to accept it, well that and a bit more research. The other characters are also making some nice niches for themselves though the reasons we’re all hanging out are still a bit slender. Darius is leaping into his role as the utterly clueless wanna-be-Watcher and Megan as the closet geek is a fantastic.
In terms of the plot we seem to be a bit stuck. It seems like we’ve stumbled across a couple different issues. First is the dead guy from episode 1 who worked at an old folks home and the fact that old folks from said home seem to disappear quite a bit. The other issue is the horse headed demon guy who was summoned by the school’s secret society called The Fallen. But due to getting distracted as a group very easily we’ve not really made much progress. So next week I’m going to suggest that we go after the horse head thing more, to try and tie one of this threads up.
Tune in next week!
