Session 0 - The Prologue

Friday 22nd of April, 2011

Today's Cast:
 * Benedict Lucius
 * Brother Mikas E. Black

Today's short introductory session began on the train to the Idahen Aerodrome where two strangers, Benedict and Black, were bound for the Cloud Mistress, an airship headed to Briston.

Benedict Enjoyed a cup of tea in the passenger carriage whilst Brother Black's renouncement of material wealth afforded him the company of some stowaway urchin children. The train came to a mysteriously violent stop, but quickly resumed it's travels.



A few minutes later, Mikas heard a group of heavy footsteps walking through the cargo carriage. Upon politely enquiring about the identity of the strangers, the monk quickly recieved a gun barrel to the face, a harsh voice telling him to be silent.

Meanwhile, in first class, two of the three strangers burst in, knocking out a guard and revealing themselves as Bandits.



The second railway guard, who had been slacking off at the bar, walked out to stop the bandits. Taken by surprise, one of the outlaws shot at the officer, scoring a critical hit and leaving him bleeding out on the floor. Benedict, who had been taken hostage by the second bandit, took advantage of the panic and elbowed his way free.

Suddenly a mysterious gentleman arose from the bar and smacked one of the gunmen with his cane, miraculously knocking him unconscious. Benedict discarded the knives in favor of some quick witted words and soon talked the remaining bandit into a surrender.

Meanwhile, Mikas Black had pushed the third bandit into violence with his polite inquiry but promptly kicked his ass with a single Zendo strike. Dashing into the next carriage, Mikas did his best to assess the situation.



With the conflict resolved, the two heroes became aquainted. The mysterious gentleman from earlier revealed himself as Mr. Schaffer, the owner of Schaffer Railway Company, and apologized for the inconvenience; rewarding the two with 100p each and a free ticket to Swadia.

Conclusion
By the end of the journey, Brother Mikas Black had asked Benedict to accompany him to Briston, to assist him and his lack of eyesight, which Benedict happily accepted.

Benedict had also managed to aquire a Wells .45 Revolver, much to his distaste.
