They start out having a night out on the town, only to be drawn to bar red a local theme bar. Once inside the bar is assualted as various drinks are devoured. Then a crazed accountant phases though the celling landing on the dance floor, waving a machette around yelling something that could't be heard only to detonate destroying the pub. As the wave of energy tears though them they realise their alive and awake. Drawn to the site of the explosion they realise their world has changed. The party first check the time, 8am. 36 hours and counting. Only sean and glen check to see if they have their wallets. Between them they buy newspaper, 20 lambert and bulter and a lighter. Sean notices that he has a lack of feeling whille glen notices his citzen card only has his picture. Then luke realises they have been eased from the time space contium. Then while no one pays attention neil try's to kick in the door of bar red only to realise the door is made of stronger stuff that his foot or leg. However luke and glen ignoring neil picking himself off the floor start arguing about the gold needle in final fansty being a cure for pertified people. Sean and neil leave them to it as they head to poundland in search of tools for breaking and entering as they are unwilling to wait till 11am when the public house opens. Once reaching poundland the five fingered discount begins with fruit shoots and chocolate, however soon after neil is noticed by staff due to the crowbar hanging out of his pocket. Sean seeing this tells neil to put it back. Neil fails to convince everyone that he was't going to steal it and finally puts it back. Sean then steals a torch and batteries whille neil waits outside. Meanwhile Luke summons a gold needle as he and Glen continue their arguement only to realise they are all alone. Then they realise Lukes summoned a gold needle. Luke then shows off his creation power by carlessly summoning a chocolate whisper bar in George Micheal fashion while realising his mobile helps him focus his magic. However with no contract for his phone he has no signal because he has no network. Glen and Luke then waste half an hour searching for Sean and Neil. They then find Neil outside poundland while Sean is expaining to the floor supervisor that Neil is an Idiot while trying to worm his way in and try to get a sercurity job. He is reminded that they have police for that. While no ones paying attension Glen summons a skeleton key from the shadowlands and heads back to the bar. They are now down to 34 hours, while luke fails to create a tuna melt sub, Glen has opened the front door or bar red and set off the alarm. However moments later Glen has disabled the alarm but failed to see the live in manager walk behind him and press the panic button then walk into the kitchen to get the meat cleaver. Glen then procedes to look around, fails to notice anything and locks the door on his way out. Seeing him lock the door the police ask him what the problem is. Glen bluffs his way passed them with a false alarm. Unable to get a sercurity job Seam settles on stealing money out of a cash machine via teleportation. Sean realises that his pen knife is a focus of his magic power. Neil noticing Lukes ability to create procedes to sit down in a back alley while having a smoke. Realises that his magic works better with nictine. However after many attempts Neil creates a 22. twin barrel deranger. Only to be mocked by Luke later as having a handbag gun.However Neil realises his magic focus is nictine. Luke then searches the space of King's Lynn only to find a book on folklore by H.P.Lovecraft.Then using what he saw Sean do he teleports the book. Glen searches through time for people like them only to find the death warrants of the people burnt in the Tuesday market place. However the only member of the party that can read them is Neil as everyone else fails. They all decide to investgate the witch of kings lynn legend and head to Tuesday market place. Glen sees dead people, however no one else does so Neil borrows Glens senses. Glen trys and fails to contact the witch as the gaunlet between the land of the lving and the dead while thin is too strong for him. As Neil starts to do his reseach in Chopsticks using their internet. Sean gos and buys a digtail camera from Argos as Glen steps over into the shadowlands. Luke then suggests that they regroup at Costa only to realise he's alone once more. He then heads to McDonalds to buy a burger and use their wifi. Only to realise you need a laptop to use it. Sean then heads to the lynn news to gain some money through freelance reporting only to be told their only a local paper. Once on his own luke decides to wait for everyone in costa while reading the book only to find 10 magically concealed pages containing a warning about true magic and those that use it. It also outlines the facts about energy use as none of them have felt the drain none have questioned their limits or what happens when their power runs out. With a map of the node points in the UK Luke procedes to enjoy coffee while his brain updates his user files. At this point Sean heads back to the Tuesday market. 32 Hours remain. Glen procedes into the trading place of the dead only to recoil from the local wraiths as the horror of their wounds scare him. The local ferryman charged with keeping order questions him then moves him on as newly awaken'd mages are not normally about the quiet town of kings lynn. Glen talks to the Witch and makes a deal. He then procedes to return her heart and is then bound by a pact as she becomes his mentor. Neil finds out about all the places of folklore in kings lynn and porocedes to visit refley woods. Due to some misconception about druids and witches. After some time he finds the spirit of the woods in this case an earth elemental. After a time Neil convinces the elemental he needs teaching as he appears abit dense. So the earth elemental teaches him about using his inner rock and Neil enters into a mentor pact with the spirit. Sean suddenly realises he's had nothing to eat all day and the pub is serving breakfast. With a quick look round he finds the magic energy static point where the insane accountant will appear then blow up. However the police are questioning the Manager about Glens b&e with them wondering where he got a key for the front door plus how he undid the deadbolts from the outside only to lockthe door with a key and redeadbolt the door. However with no fresh intell on what they know due to police asking him not to interferre. Sean then heads back to the Tuesday market place. After a short wait Glen reappears in the land of the living only to make Sean jump. Looking like he's been on an all night rpg session Glen follows Sean to Costa so that they can compare notes. Neil returns sometime later only to think Glen is possessed by Satan as he fails to probe Glen as his mentor protects him from Neils actions. At this point Sean experiments with his camera only to realise after a short time they are erased from the pictures. Luke updates them on what he found out then before anyone repiles heads to Chopsticks to use their internet. Looking for the book retailer luke locates a copy of the book with the right number of pages only to have an inviting hand jut out of the screen. Luke procedes to enter the procede icons domain where he learns some more information. It gives him a run down of the tradtions and how exposed they really are. Plus he learns about better looking fake luke. Then once the buffer is full the icon ejects him down a local phone line only to be found by Glen. Meanwhile Sean uses his newfound mind control powers to aquire a laptop then follows luke to chopsticks where he finds both Neils and Lukes research. Using a quantum leap in logic Sean researches time/space mechanics. While the party leaves Neil in waterstones looking at the occult and the picture verison of macbeth. The party regroups in chopsticks. Learning that they can sense magic to some degree and finding out about paradox. On learning of these new talents Sean remembers sensing Glens energy in bar red by the security panel as well as working out that the energy on the celling over the dance area is a rift in the space time contium. Meanwhile paradox strikes as Luke plays with his gold needle only to teleport it into the Major of King's lynn on his off day. Luke quickly recovers the needle while paramedics work to save his life. Glen summons a coin he saw in the marketplace. Luke examines the coin only to notice its made from peoples souls and hands it back as quick as possible. They question the witch of Kings lynn over the money of the dead only to realise that the coins are important but rare. Glen then learns about deathsight and how to grade the level of decay of the human body. He is views disease and rot in all living things but is unfazed by the event. At this point the party looks back over the data they have collected much of which has nothing to do with the event in bar red. However they learn of a witch hunter, a father Anderson who is asigned by the pope from Rome itself. Dismissing this as minor fact they search the web only to encounter high level wyrm code which erases all the data. Feeling rough and in need of new cothes the party goes shopping. Plus they aquire a hotel room at the dukes head only to realise they have no money and become dependant on Glen who is the only one to have money. Luke spends the hour complaining that shopping is a womans job and retreats into his shell while feeling violated. With the party getting showerd and changed their minds turn to guns. So after showering Sean starts teleporting firearms and ammo. Glen however uses the distraction and steps back into the shadowlands. Glen has trouble looking for guns so the witch leads him to an armsdealer. Glen then procedes to haggle with the WW1+2 tank commander. With out thinking about the fact that he could be killed by having his soul ripped out and eaten he continues to barter. Using his powers Glen starts to bind the spirits of the dead to power relic firearms. With the level of energy hes putting out the local ferryman procedes to question Glen as to what hes doing. While the tank commander and the ferryman squareoff the witch lifts a number of items. While Glen is protected by the witch the ferryman has no choice other than to take the wraith for judgement. With his new souled desert eagle 50.cal Glen returns happy. However the raids on lakenhealth have taken longer than expected. But with the party now armed they start to think about training and body armor. Glen summons more coins and go's to pass then though to the witch. Paradox stirkes and the realm of winter endless freezes Glens hand and forearm down though the bone. With a scream his hand shatters and blood starts pumping out. Sean goes for pain killer while Luke try's to stop the blood. Glen passes out due to pain and bloodloss. Luke pushes himself and creates a mechanical hand for Glen (Hand = Arete 1 Quintessence 15). Then passes out due to energy drain. Sean returns to find 2 bodies covered in blood and lumps of flesh on the floor. Checks to see if their alive then turns on the television and crashes out. Morning arrives and people awakes still recovering from the night before. After cleaning, coffee and painkillers the party walks over to the ruins at balisty sandpits. 3 Hours of target shooting later they learn how to work and shoot a gun. However they notice Glens is doing more damage than normal. However after using 500 rounds of ammo they decide its time to walk back into town. On their way back they realise the police are now at the hotel. C.S.I. are present so they decide to go to bar red in their new flak vests to start brain storming. They research the portal to find its a wormhole created though entropy and watching the event through time they realise that hes moving backwards though time. After watching the event though they now know that its not just King's lynn they have to save but the entire U.K. Once regrouped with Neil the party desides to contiue brain storming over the problem. After Neil is brought upto date on misadventures he comes up with a plan to save everyone involving a gaint ball of plasma and kings lynn. However the party then realise they don't have the magic to do it and realise they just epic failed whille contining to analize the portals dynamics. Going back over Seans theories they realise that gravity plays a part in temporal mechanics. That gravity over coming friction is part of wormhole physics. Then while locating the inner and outer energy walls they track the location to railway road. Locked and loaded the party head out in force, apon arriving they knock on the door only to encounter Ian from 5 years ago. After an all night RPG session the survivors of the booze fueled game litter the room with Mel crashed out on the couch. After a quick check Sean spots Glens focus an old amulet tainted with the dark ether. And while the party wonders what to do while Ian puts the kettle on Sean rips the Amulet and breaks the connection. Followed by an energy flash the party awake back at the begining where they appeared 2 days ago. Add Comment MAGE, Current events. 24/08/2011
To recap due to current events the party has been jolted back in time, After finding the source they removed the focus point. Currently Neil and Sean are the most powerful members of the group followed by Glen and with Luke in the rear. Locked and loaded with a pair of 45's and a souled 50 cali all in the semi automatic. However after a flash of light the party appear back where they started Sean as the longest swearing fit in history. And is still swearing when Neil with the mighty 22 handbag gun of unload humor arrives. However the party regroups outside Bar red only to find its monday morning and there magic batteries are empty. With the extra problem of them missing 48 hours the party desides to investagate the magic energy they felt around kings lynn earlier. However while the party, namely Luke in Costa defense over where to have coffee Glen aquires a new set of clothes brought by his mentor. With the coins he had given her earlier on after he had lost his forearm. Neil consults the Rock of wisdom on the matter of life ,the universe and where is all the good coffee. The party checks on Ian only to find the polish have invaded and Sean checks his camera to find fake digtail photos. Thinking about damage control they realise that the military weapons they slote have trackers in the cases plus the matter of fingerprints. However never not being on the DVLA data base means that they should be safe. However with the lack of magic being a problem they head to the local Node at castle rising. With it being free entry except for when events are on the party advances. Entering the main courtyard the party locates the entrance to the Node. On entering both the elemental and the witch who are mentoring two of the party are able to appear due to the spirit enriched area. A Knight advances on the party, Luke works out that he's the honor guard of east anglia or at least the will of the people who had lived in the area. Behind them a sword and shield appear against the wall. Neil is the first to take up the sparring contest. And after an hour Neil in much need of a smoke and a pint is allowed into the garden area to refill his magic energy using energy enriched fruit or tass (tass is a slang term for any magic energy that takes physical form). Luke borrows Glens gun and prepares to fight the knight. As battle in about to start Luke procedes to shot the Node guardian in the face, in response the Kinght runs luke through and ejects everyone bar Neil who is now busy looting the garden after stuffing his face. With Lukes body armor soaking most of the damage he manages to get up while defending his actions to the rest of the party. Moments later Neil reappears and dishes out the fruit. Using Glens skeleton key the party force open the portal to the garden where they refill their energy levels and loot what they can while planning their next steps. Glen focus is still with Sean as even after discussing it Sean is unwilling to give up the focus. After going over their notes the party comes up with a plan and heads for the ruins over at the balesy sandpits however on their arrival they notice the police plus special investagators are now on the scene. With over 500 rounds of ammo used to train in firearms it was no wonder, however the men in black are checking the damage from glens firearm more closely than the normal ammo. Luke uses his senses and realises that the men in black are hyper tech bioengineered constructs. Neil and sean leave luke and investagate the local anglo saxon village but find nothing at the dig site. With the party realising that the heat is on they fall back to st faiths church on their way into town for dinner. With no one on look out the party commits to some grave robbing only to realise that Neil has already yanked the grave open, With the open grave of a mage bound in old cold iron, the party tries to reason what he did to be rewarded with the long and painfull death Glen looks back through time to see that he was a faith healer using a blessed book of life. With horror Glen watches father anderson at work putting the mage into an early grave whille screwing the binding plates into his flesh and bones. Meanwhile Luke locates the hidden pocket in space and recovers the holy book of life. With notime at all Luke and Glen open the book releasing a magic warning flare and with a new understanding find out their bodies are not their oirginals. With much to think about the party heads to the woolpack for a pint and a brainstorming session whille getting a steak and ale pie in. The storyteller feeds party paranoia while they work everything out in their own way. Weapons of Malice, Mayhem, Mass gigglefit!!! 19/07/2011
