A brief summary of the final session
Apr. 25th, 2010 06:55 pmWe (Rosie Monday, Ted, Dana and Albere) got our families and some other people (about twenty people) down to the surface of the planet, since staying on the Pericles was untenable, and the people weren't seeing us or our families. Cap'n Pi (the alien drive engine and the ship's computer) was eating everyone (turning them into some sort of hive mind), and we needed off. Managed to land near a resistance group led by Eleanour of Acquitane (Astrid Lawson, Jeremy Lawson's grandmother), and joined her group at the Sherwood Forest while awaiting the arrival of King Richard back from the crusades (collecting the anti-viral from a different group of aliens).
King Richard came back from the crusades with his retainers (Jeremey Lawson and the group who went to find the computer anti-viral), but was caught by evil Prince John (Cap'n Pi) and taken to the Tower of London in France, but before some of his loyal retainers were caught, they managed to hide a treasure chest (laptop with anti-viral on it) which we needed to ultimately defeat Prince John and Cap'n Pi.
Robin Hood and his Merry Men (the four kids) rescued him and his retainers from the Tower of London, but Albere was trapped as we were leaving and later eaten. We broke King Richard out of the Tower of London by pretending to be troubadours and entering through the Entertainer's Gate, finding King Richard by singing "Greensleeves", putting the guards to sleep with a lullaby, and then doing a musical number to "I'd like to teach the world to sing" to get them out, while Rosie danced with Cap'n Pi as a distraction. The GM uttered the immortal words of "fuck, this is actually going to work", and "this is even sillier than the one with the hat".
We then got Dana's mum to fly Albere's space yacht (a cargo shuttle) up to the Pericles, where we fought our way to Anne Bonny's cove and Cap'n Pi's ship the Imaginary Magnitude,, whereupon Dana held off Cap'n Pi for long enough for Rosie and Ted to get to Cap'n Pi's cabin, where he keeps his heart, and give him the treasure chest (the anti-viral). Rosie told Cap'n Pi that it was the best gift of her love that she could give him, and he took the treasure chest and started taking the treasure out of it and got obsessed with the treasure, and it kept spreading and, eventually sank the ship.
With the ships computer taken out, the Pericles started failing, as did everything else networked to it (every other computer on the planet and in many other systems). And the Pericles, which was the children's homes their entire lives (except for the year spent on Esolin due to the Pericles having been taken over by Cap'n Pi), is gone. We managed to escape in emergency escape pods, and could see our home go dark and the lights on the planet go out as we started heading towards the planet.
And that's where the game ended.
...no, this isn't supposed to make sense to anyone else. This was a stranger game than usual, but not by too much. We're debriefing tomorrow. I think that will be helpful.
