Actual Play- Spire- The Network

Trigger warning: Spire deals with themes of racial inequality and fighting against social injustice.

Brother Knife’s identity has been revealed to authorities. Already, he has been arrested and executed. Since no one else from the crew has been picked up, it is safe to assume that Brother Knife didn’t break. Given the nature of their work, the crew has reason to believe that it was a fellow drow that revealed their companion’s identity. Loose ends have got to get tied up one way or another.

Little Fears- Ectozoic Park – EP 5 House of Thibodeau

Spring 1999/Drumheller, Alberta. A revelation brings the mystery man into the spotlight and more. A creepy estate merits an investigation when you’re a kid, for it’s likely haunted… undoubtedly so given the circumstances. But what ghostly creatures from prehistoria lurk in the shadows of this manor. How deep did the awakening dig in the strata of deep time.

Winter 1999/Drumheller, Alberta. The New Year has brought with it a new torrent of frigid cold weather. January in the plains provinces are never fun, but in Drumheller the kids make do. The Red Deer River Valley has an abundance of slopes for sledding and fun in the snow to stem against the mid-winter blues. If only those pesky things from beyond the prehistoric grave would stop popping up, causing a fuss.

Fall 1998/Drumheller, Alberta. It’s the September Country Fair out by River Grove Park. All manner of activity is a bustle, in the view of Drumheller’s “World’s Largest Dinosaur” statue, just across the Red Deer (River). But, the big T-Rex isn’t the only earthy sentinel lingering about. The strange outages carrying on from the Summer and forces beyond have enraged something ancient, incited by great pain. These now threaten the world of the living, ever closer to home.
