![]() ![]() They still didn't manage to save Moctezuma, though, so the timeline was still messed up somewhat. One of the PCs captured his soul in a magical shard, but after a little while, they decided to break the shard and release it after all. By the time the other PCs could get to him, he was dead. The PCs had been fought back to a standstill, and Moctezuma had taken a likely fatal wound, when Delan declared, "I am a leaf on the wind." After some OOC discussion and negotiation with me, we played out him running forward through a series of dodges and parries, pushing his way to the alien (disguised as a Catholic priest), and running him through, only to have the slave girl, in shock at seeing him do this and in grief at seeing Moctezuma dying, took one of Delan's daggers from him and stabbed him in the lung. Moctezuma was surrounded by three of his slave girls, one of which had tried to cover an earlier getaway attempt on his part by trying to seduce Delan, a ne'er-do-well PC who has had a history of bad luck with women. They weren't doing that well because of an alien using telepathic attacks on them. ![]() Only a few of the PCs were there on the causeway, while others were trying to deal with things back in the city. The time-travelling PCs were trying to stop some time-travelling aliens from stealing Moctezuma out from Tenochtitlan before his time. Isaiah 64:6 New International Version 6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. The rule goes like this: by declaring "I am a leaf on the wind," and then presenting a suitably dramatic and interesting depiction of subsequent events, you can succeed at any action or short series of actions - as long as the sequence of events ends with your character's death. This week's game session was the first use of this new rule.
