Gauntlet Calendar

The Between: Incense & Cigar Smoke (Session 1)
David Morrison runs for Darold Ross, Elle, and José Feito
We meet the residents of Hargrave House - the Explorer, Lady Camila Betancourt-Davies, the Vessel Priyanka Bellacqua, and their Factotum Fujisawa. The hunters learn of a vampire stalking the cramped allies of Limehouse, and begin their investigations. Priyanka uses her powers of clairvoyance to gain insight on the killings, Fujisawa makes a connection with a sailor far from home, and Lady Camila meets Lucien Belasyse, 4th Earl Fauconberg, as the pair of them slum it in Limehouse.

Dungeons & Dragons: Eberron: The Glass Keys (Session 3)
Lowell Francis runs for Chris R., Joe F, and Tim Leitner
Our party of inquisitives descend down into The Cogs, but a meeting with their contact doesn't go as planned. Picking up a replacement guide, they follow the trail of a previous expedition, leading to a deadly fight and a twist in the mystery.

One Shot
Donogh runs for Sabine V.
Louis Mercer has ruined a town and a community with his greed and corruption, all in service to his railroad and the Chicago way. Community leader and teacher Sam Carver has had enough, and he can't let Mercer get away with this. As unlikely as it seems, Sam has vengeance in his sights and won't let his mentor, student or sister stop him...

Blades in the Dark: Crash Course
Donogh runs for Alun R., Ben Bond, José Feito, and Paul Rivers
We play through a heist, using Pre-Gens, and spend some time having side-discussions about mechanics and GMing techniques for Blades in the Dark.

Fate of Umdaar (Session 2 of 5)
Alun R. runs for Brandon Brylawski, Sabine V., and Will H
'Vikki' the Mutawarrior leads Princess Zenobia through the tunnels of the Pit of Pain but has to leave her Zhevra lest it attract the attention of Thorian the Warrior-Scholar and Elementalist Lars Gloomfall, who they do not trust ... There's a bronze skinned torturer, a rescued fellow pilgrim, and a perilous journey through the less travelled by-ways of the Pit. Then, a guardian demonstrates violence is not always the best policy, relatives confront one another, and a fallen Master negotiates their release ... before a World Aspect changes!
