They must go to the Belgian seaside town of Nieuport...which was fine when they planned it but King Leopold of the Belgians has just signed a surrender to protect his cities from German bombing. Suddenly Sgt Strauss is escorting 2 agents into occupied territory (again)! Intense Viennese analyst Adriana wins the Sgt's respect for coming up with a cunning plan while former actress (and student of semiotics), Egglantine, plays a number of parts to get them to the centre of the occupied town in broad daylight. There they surprise, confront, and overcome, plainclothes members of SS Sondergruppe KFW2 and rescue captured archaeologist Marcel DuChamp. Private Reggie Wooster discovers what war is like at the sharp end, all the time conscious that Her Majesty's Pursuivants have a hold over him that means he has no real choice in his involvement. Sgt. Strauss tears a strip of the upper class lad, who refused the King's Commission, and that is making Reggie think seriously about the path he is embarked upon, and that maybe this will not be the 'jolly jape' he'd hoped. Adriana races back to British lines with the rescued archaeologist while the others take refuge in a Nieuport basement with a group of Belgian soldiers determined to fight on...

Heart: Playtest (Session 1 of 2)

Ishkran is a Witch - the victim of an eldritch blood disease giving him unnatural power - shunned even by the oppressed Drow of the Spire, and drawn to the Heart by its siren song. Morrow is a heretical priestess of the Moon Beneath, with a mysterious past and a burning desire to find physical proof of the existence of her goddess deep within the Heart. Together, the pair leave the relative stability of the town of Midden to journey to Nightmarket, a mysterious - and cursed - encampment of traders. Morrow trusts in her goddess to light the way through the dark, and Ishkran exhibits an uncanny affinity for the beasts of the Heart. Reaching Nightmarket, Morrow learns of the next step in her journey, while Ishkran makes an offering to the Heart...
