  • In our past campaign aĀ Drider descended upon us, fascinating and shique, and we didn’t know if we should let it live or not… Some fascinating choices were made by all, and we quickly learned that we need to grow as a team.
    We learned the difference between the more Fitness oriented characters, and the more Fascinating characters, magic and electric staffs. The amulet from the Drider, when worn, allows the wielder to hold the electric staff without getting electrocuted. We have a lot to learn about how to work together.
    We learned that in LARP, we need to remain in character, and that our actions affect others. We need to deal with the natural consequences of our actions, and will no longer get the change to rewind in-game.
    Faythe is not sure why they decided to behead the poor Drider, but willingly carried our “dead” comrade who sacrificed his soul in curiosity, back to resurrect him.
    LOOT:
    – 2 red gauntlets
    – A red amulet
    – Electric staff
    – 7 & 7/8’s of the 8, 10 foot long Drider Legs
    – Massive Drider Body
    – 2 Vials of Drider blood
    – Some loot
