I tend to go overboard with campaign write ups.
Here is our first session. In it:
- a bunch of mortals are tasked with investigating some strange thefts
- turns out there was much more than mere burglary going on, and Exaltations abound
The cast:
- Devon - Martial artist. Trained with the Immaculate Monks, often as a practice target since he was so resilient. Grew disaffected by the Immaculate Philosophy and joined an offspring sect named Imperfection of Form. The Imperfects follow much of the same philosophies, and are tolerated by the Immaculates, with their primary difference being that the Immaculate monks demand perfection of spirit while the Imperfects realize that humanity can never achieve that lofty goal and only demand that they try.
- Tonic - Guild middle-manager and skilled flame piece wielder. On his days off he often "volunteers" for extra duty as a governmental liaison to Prism Flame. The duties have taught him a lot about the way governments work, and shown him how different large social groups can be manipulated, but only if one understands their underlying goals and mores.
- Sejjeto - Adopted son of a self-admitted (albeit not public) abyssal, Sejjeto was prrophecied to have a great destiny at an early age but his impoverished parents couldn't wait for it to arrive and sold him into servitude. But instead of a life of menial labor he found a teacher who expected him to exalt as part of his destiny, and instilled in the young man an appreciation for weapons, armor, and his station as a nobleman.
- Raistlin Majere - A sickly thaumaturge constantly being compared to his handsome, likable, and strong brother. Raistlin has severe "why can't you be more like your brother" issues and seeks power wherever he can find it. Currently only skilled in the arts of enchantment, he seeks magical knowledge and knows that he will one day be greater than everyone else.
- Hain - In and out of gangs and prisons since an early age, Hain has found his way to Cloaka as a street level thief. His boss, Quiescent Maelstrom, has had him stealing obol and shekel goods for a while, feeling out his skills. But the Lintha captain has liked what he's seen and promised big things, and doors opening that can give Hain the life of freedom he craves.

Session 2, wherein they flee to Chiaroscuro via Heaven (with a short stopover in the Underworld). They also manage to get Ragara Myrunn, Grandmaster of the Immaculate Brotherhood, to explode.
