Hill 107: The Final Massacre of the Fishy Folk

Time-Wednesday 30th November.

Place -The Last Bastion of The Garvaldian Fishy Folk.

The Mount with the obelisk and the two not so obelisks.

The OSG agents flapping.

Out to frosty Garvald this evening on the pretext that we were indulging in VBCW but on arriving the playing numbers had dwindled therefore the last part of the Lurkers of the Deep scenarios was on the menu.As you can see by the included pictures the VBCW game had been set up so a bit of scene shifting was done and lo and behold the scenery for our game miraculously appeared albeit with a few abstract obelisks.

Three pictures of the “should have been game”

The scenario involved the Fishy folks last bastion with the OSR agents having the agenda of breaking up this ritual and saving society from Professor Plum and his fish evolving retinue blah blah blah.My obelisks and their stand ins were the key to the ritual and the more acolytes who were in contact with it the quicker the ritual could be performed so it looked as they were going to be gun -fodder for El Presidente’s gunslingers and that they were from the off with hails of bullets flying out against my innocent acolytes.Boo Hiss!.

Professor Plum putting in his thumb.

Perty Potts calling for order.

“I’m back -Superglue and all!”

As the acolytes basically had to stand their ground the rest of the professor’s minions had to run interference so made(or should I say slithered)their way towards the interlopers.Once again my large fishy devil suitably rearmed with the help of some superglue headed straight for the enemy and once again headed for an early bath as El Presidente’s agents shot him before he could swing his superglued club leaving the remainder to look after themselves again.I did have one bonus in that El Presidente graciously afforded me a fishy high priestess who got straight into the fight targeting the opposition’s head honchess Lady Fortesque Pimpleton who was shielded by Doctor Foster from Gloucester and his own personal bodyguards who literally put their life on the line for him.

Lady Fortesque shows her pointy sticks.

The Fishy priestess arrives.

Lady Fortesque urges on her minions from away in the rear.

El Presidente started his incursion by directing a hail of gunfire against my poor acolytes downing two immediately as well as doing away with my fishy devil this gave him Dutch courage to have one of his female sword armed females to charge right into the middle of my shambling Dagites giving them the chance to inflict revenge for their fallen shoal mates.Maybe the tide had turned for my fishy folk-not on your nelly.This just made El Presidente get more avid with his gunfire. In the nick of time the steak pie and ale break had arrived so we trooped of to the local hostelry for some sustenance .

Now you see him,

Now you don’t!

Play resumed on the other side of the mount where my fishy priestess was leading from the front and leading her fishy folk headlong towards the interlopers hoping to do away with at least Doctor Foster and his bodyguard before targeting Lady Fortesque and her pointy sticks.By this time Lady Fortesque was definitely leading from the rear obviously hoping to take the credit whilst her party diminished in size.

The reincarnated arrive,

The big scrap begins.

The reincarnated depart.

There now followed the usual skirmishes between both parties whilst Professor Plum who had actually been hiding since the first scenario where his main contribution to that scenario was throwing a flask of halucinogenic liquid over Shir Shaun then bolting for his present hideout where he went undiscovered for six months.He spent most of this game hiding in the shadows waiting for the chance to throw some of his Professor Plum’s Old Peculiar potion over some of the opposition in order to turn them into fishy folk but alas the enemy were made of sterner stuff. My numbers were rapidly dwindling but lo and behold through the use of a ‘Maguffin’card they rapidly increased albeit for short time as El Presidente’s agents just reloaded and indulged in over fish farming my folk but at least it extended the game. One of El Presidente’s band Telegram Samantha had broken away and tried to head for the centre of the mount in order to get some brownie points by doing away with Professor Plum but only succeeded in raising the ire of my fishy priestess who bounded after her saving Plum’s bacon in the process.

One on one.

One on two.

Telegram Sam is not getting away.

Across the other side of mount the second group led by Perty Polly had mopped up the last of the stragglers and was preparing to have the remnants of her group move out and assist the other group who were indulging in some towing and froing on the other side of the mount.They were stopped in their tracks by the sound of an enormous explosion which rocked the mount and on investigation found that the navy had sent a salvo of explosives which landed amongst the fisticuffs that was going on resulting in the demise of various figures including Doctor Foster who returned to Gloucester,my diminutive Fishy priestess and a few flunkies .Professor Plum seeing this demise of his faithful followers headed back into the sanctuary of the mount never to be seen again at least not till the next series providing it’s not axed.
