Welp, when it rains it pours. When my group's usual time came around a couple of weeks ago, a combination of circumstances outside our collective control thwarted both our main day and our backup day. And then, when we played this past Sunday, Zac and Bryan informed me that because their schedule's settled down we'd be able to move to a weekly Tuesday schedule instead of every other Sunday for at least a while. So we went ahead and played again this week!
As a result, I've got a post for two sessions' worth of stuff here. I considered splitting it up, but nah. It neatly finishes out the current story, and to be honest, I'm not sure the second session would be long enough on its own to justify a separate post. (This is Chris from the future coming back to edit in: Actually, it would have been. Oops.) But either way, this wraps up the second story of the chronicle and the mini-arc with the puzzle box.
Also, just to make things a little easier for folks just coming in, over on my
Actual Play index I've expanded the description of the Exalted game to better delineate the game's story arcs. Hope it helps!
This has turned out to be a pretty long post (with all of the footnotes), so the sooner we start the sooner we finish!
