This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: AsenRG;972384And I'm really, really behind on describing the sessions, but the party has put a trap to some Qinwen guy, also known as The Master of The Seven Talysmans, and we actually intend to kill him. Of course, we are backed up by the three Bone Sisters, four or five heads of other sects (it's arguable whether the guy we currently is The Dragon's Head now), several first students of kung-fu sects that are (or were) gearing to inherit the position, the 15 wives of our own clan, and literally dozens of kung-fu zombies and Mystic Swords, not to mention a mirror ghost and a fox.
And he doesn't expect us. But to make it more fun, we've actually prepared the battlefield, complete with an easier way to retreat that actually leads into a killing zone, and my wife is trying to slip him somnorific, hidden in a meal that normally smells almost the same way. (We expect that he'd be protected against poison).
Nobody wants Stunning Beauty Team to be his enemies, because we really try to leave nothing to chance.

I also expect that after we kill him, the alliance will be off, and it will be a "last (wo)man standing" to get his magic items.
We're not planning to take many of those. But if that's what happens, we intend to make sure two of the Bone Sisters wouldn't make it out alive. Lady Plum Blossom is, in our esteemed opinion, a much better Phoenix Head, possibly after a period of study under the most humane of them.

Qinwen and the sisters of Bone Kingdom are some of my favorite NPCs in the game.

I am behind doing my session logs as well. In my last session of Disposable Disciples the players organized a meeting of the leaders of the martial world. They were trying to organize a resistance to the Yan invasion (in this particular campaign the Glorious Emperor is dead and the Yan invaded bringing with them a new kind of elemental magic). The players had waged a huge war in Dee that resulted in many big martial heroes being killed. This made Dee an easy point of invasion for the Yan and the players now realize that the martial world has become too depleted to resist because of all their infighting. The meeting was supposed to bring everyone together. But Dehua sect made things very difficult for them, claiming that the Chief of the Martial World (one of the PCs) violated every Dehuan virtue and therefore couldn't possibly gain the mandate of Heaven. By the end of the session they still hadn't managed to unite anyone.

Here is the last two sessions of the Storms of the Martial World campaign. One of the players almost turned into a Tree Demon Minion, and they had a drinking contest with a khan:
