Ludovico Alves runs for Kyle H., Michael G. Barford, Tom F., and Walter German

Sabine V. runs for Agatha, Alun R., Leandro Pondoc, and Scot Ryder
We bid a more or less fond farewell to Fredericka/The Ivory Stiletto - more fond by her long-lost mother, Mrs. Annabel Hargreaves, and her fiancé, Lady Justine, and maybe even Hugh Botham. Less so by the Justice Phantom, whose father she tried to murder to justice.
Dungeon World: Cold Ruins of Lastlife (Session 2 of 4)

Achtung! Cthulhu Dark: The Angel of Krupna (Session 2 of 4)
Alun R. runs for Paul Rivers, Sabine V., Walter German, and William
After a tense night at the safehouse, our nervous parachutists are contacted by their new Resistance contacts. On their way to the site of reported abductions, they find the SS already in possession of a convent/orphanage. The Czechs argue for intervention, but the British stay focused on the core mission...while the nuns pay the price. Only when he sees children being taken away in trucks is the senior British officer driven to act, and an impromptu road block leads to an intense firefight, dead Nazis, a burning truck, and rescued children. Knowing that it's only a matter of time before the garrison discovers the ambush they need to make contact with the local communist resistance quickly...
