New and Old

The Retirement of Baron Harveset Bowman M.D. 
We finished our last travelers game this last week. In the end we got revenge on Treece, killed that damn dolphin that had been messing with us and even won ourselves a planet. 
Perhaps latter I will fill in more details when I can do it justice.

Burning Wheel

As our travellers game come to an end, we have decided to start a new game. We will be using the bruning wheel system. Burning wheel is specifically designed for "middle fantasy" games. Games with little magic or where magic is mostly in the background. Books like George RR Martins A Song of Ice and Fire would fit nicely within this game. 

The game is designed to revolve around politics and battles of wits. 

How to Dispose of a Kadariak Kepf

Through various adventures Chuck, John and Joe wound up in a cavern beneath a mosuleum in the middle of a forest in Maine. Trapped in a cage in the corner was a demon. The cage sparked with blue electricity. 

The demon had already lured one group into the cavern and convinced them to start a murderous cult. They were on the verge of completing the ritual that would release the demon from his cage. We put an end to those plans. 

so there we sat, trying to figure out how to dispose of this demon before he formed another death cult. Our research showed us that it was a Kadariak Kepf, and that it might be vulnerable to fire, or perhaps water. And apperently it could be contained by electric cages. 
So we gathered up our guns and built a flamethrower, and a tried to dispose of the KK. Sadly, it seemed that the cage would not let anything past it and we would have to release the KK from the cage to kill it. Then we realizede that we had no idea how to open the cage. Everything we tried only released blue sparks from the cage. 

Eventually, we gathered up some cable and some jumper cables. We connected the jumper cables to the cage and ran the cable outside to some metal spike we had planted in the ground. Efffectively grounding the cage and releasing the KK. 
Several shotgun blasts, flamthrower bursts and axe swings later we had the KK's head seperated from its boddy and both aflame. 

But there was still the matter of disposing of the boddy. We tried burning it some more, but that produced to much smoke which could draw attention to the site. We tried to drag it out in a boddy bag, but the boddy would not stop smouldering and melted anything that touched it.
We were not certain of KK biology, so we were not certain if the KK was truely dead, despite its severed head. It had servived a milenia or two in this cage and had not died, and its mouth was located over its heart. So we were rather skeptical of its demise. 
Eventually, we decided to try its other weakness. We poored some water over the boddy. With a billow of steam the boddy dissapeared. 
We stood there blinking at where its body had been, uncertain of what had just happened.
