Night's Black Operators - The Lisky Bratva (4/4)
Wed, 30 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0700
Due to illness and 'events' one session was cancelled so Alun R facilitates what turns out to the the final of 4 sessions using the 'Operators: Cinematic Roleplaying' (SJK Publishing) rules, significanlt tweaked for play in the 'Night's Black Agents' setting (from Ken Hite), as part of the Gauntlet Hangouts Calendar (https://www.gauntlet-rpg.com/). The team travels to Debeken in Hungary where they discover a key informant is being stalked by Josef Lisky's Bratva through the city Zoo. Saving her from a tiger involves sacrificing a vampire to it ... never a bad move, but then they must convince the Serbian Mafia that Lisky and his organisation are not to be trusted. There follows deception, infiltration and assassination. The epilogues see Karl making an important decison for his family; Mia brooding over her previously undisclosed desire to own a hotel; and Dylan delivering an important package to Josef Lisky ... BOOM! Meanwhile, a NATO task force demolishes Dragovir Monastery only to damage some ancient sigils that have kept an ancient evil confined for centuries ... These sessions have been scaffolded by 'The Zalozhiny Quartet', by Graham Ryder-Hanrahan.
