Sunday of my Life

Today in the Dragonhunt:

Our heroes visited Karlbotel, Renate’s home province, and went to meet her parents, the rulers of the region. Things got a bit tense for a moment when Renate dropped a bomb on Rien’s head. Turns out that Renate’s mother, Clara, has the same name as Rien’s long-lost love Klara. So when Rien was basically incapacitated with shock his other psyche — the one that does all the fighting for Rien — took over and get hi mthe hell outta there. It was tense becuase of his method of doing this. He pulls a sword out of nowhere and uses it to cut into another plane of reality. Drawing weapons in front of the Baron and Baorness, who have a Master-At-Arms who is well nigh unbeatable? Not a good idea. Good thing Rien got out of there before Aaron attacked him. When the others found him shortly afterwards he was up a peach tree in the orchard, scared. Once talked down he was given a home truth or two by Renate that basically amounted to ‘grow the fuck up’. So he did, a little. He wasn’t really given a choice.

Now, looking back over his past history, and considering that his relationship with Klara ended just over three years ago, one would think that Rien is being a little childish about it, and you know what? They’d be damn right. Rien is, technically, only ten or eleven years old, for all he’s got the body of a twenty-two year old. See, he woke up in his bedroom eleven years ago now with no memory of who he was or where he was. He’s had to relearn everything from that point, so he’s really on eleven years old. A bright eleven years old, but eleven nonetheless.

So Rien grew up a little, Renate struck a deal with him over something ans Aryk surprised us all by being all mature and wise. A good session all round. In the absence of Alan, Dorothea took over and GMed the session, and I think she did very well. As she puts it ‘it did not suck’.
