Will they find the Icon?

The title says it all. If you are willing to take the time to note any advice for someone rusty with Bushido (FGU), or house rules, please do so, as it will be much appreciated. [I searched for Bushido before posting this and didn't find a similar thread. If there is one please point me to to...

How do you administer shugendo. Specifically I am wondering what people think "overcoming a foe by magic" consists of. Is it just killing an enemy or could it include, say, casting a spell which foes fail their save against? It seems excessive to give out 8 shugendo for blinding a couple of 3rd...

Gorram 291-1080 We were met at Gorram by one Sar Aylen, the station executive officer. She was accompanied by a couple of station crew who weren’t anything like as smartly presented as she was. Sar had some of the stiffness of the Navy, but was friendly, introducing Sasha Dumont (Flight...

211-1080 Week 1 We spent three days in confinement and were almost constantly interrogated. On release we had the freedom of the Starport but couldn’t leave. Not that we wanted to without Highndry. Our team included an ex-scout, an ex-marine and a member of the high nobility. I didn’t have...

The Adventures of Polybius Comnenus II The week in jump was not a comfortable one. We had prisoners and they needed to be guarded, fed and looked after to a basic degree. We had ten staterooms and some of them must have been the rooms of people we killed. They were murderers and who knows what...

“We see two in the accommodation centre, 2 in the admin block, two out on the road stamping their feet to keep warm and we think two more moving from the accommodation to, yes, to the ATV garage.” Helena and I had already located another two, one on the reactor shed and on on the garage. I...

Eric suggested that we set off in the morning. He would pack their personal possessions - it was obvious that the modules were too large to fit in the ATV with all 6 of us - and Myntelle would cook. We handed over some of our rations, which were gratefully received, and then the kids took us on...

Day 2 Late on the second day on Mithral Helena was fiddling with the comms, as much to stave off boredom as anything else, when she picked something up. It is a standard distress signal which merely contained a location and a request for assistance. It could be any one of the missing people. I...

Mithral 167-1081 Week 1 We set off with an empty cargo bay, which, immersed in broker lore as I am, was a little disquieting - space equals loss of profits - haha! Still, we are going to jump to Datrillian and try and pick up some speculative trade there. We can refuel via skimming and will...

Returning to Flammarion 102 - 1081 Week 1 I was anxious all through the jump to Bowman. I did the astrogation for the jump and primed the J-drive. Peter oversaw the astrogation but just assumed I knew what I was doing with the drive. I must have done as we made it in one piece. Bowman is a...

Day 7 If any of us thought that it was all over we had a rude awakening the next morning. I mean that literally. Shouts coming from a nearby room pulled me reluctantly into wakefulness and I took a long moment to remember where I was and what was going on. I had fallen asleep in my clothes and...

Day 6 We were woken in the early hours of the morning by the sensor alert! The pinging was accompanied by a projection of super hot gases and magma filling the lava tubes just below the the surface of the crater. As everyone congregated on the bridge the computer answered my questions with...

Day 3 We stayed another night on Walston - at the Fish’s Legs - and jumped on a train to Salbarii. We managed to make a good start, I think they re-arranged the train to run to Salbarii first. From there it is a good twenty kilometres to the mountain, but Greener had called ahead so a car was...

On Walston 096-1081 Day 1 It’s raining. The downport is typical of places like Walston: a fusion-stone landing area which could accommodate maybe a 600 ton vessel, a warehouse for goods and a few buildings for customs and security. The Autumn Gold is only staying long enough to refuel - its...

Setting of for Flammarion 066-1081 The Baron used some influence to get us on board an X-boat and we will be in Flammarion in a week. It was incredibly tough saying goodbye to Noreena. I have a feeling we will see her again. Week 1 That was the most uncomfortable week, and that’s saying...

013-1081 Caladbolg Week 1 We arrived and were immediately detained. They took us to a starport facility and were informed we were being held under suspicion of kidnapping a member of the Imperial Nobility. We scarcely had time to share horrified glances when the sweating officer in charge...

At Audamu village Week 1 We spent the week getting to know the villagers and resting. We hadn’t really understood how much weight we were losing. Apart from Noreena who has gained mass in the 7 weeks of travelling. So we are calling her “Fat-Nor” (at her instigation). Lucy is much improved...

The story starts out a simple diary and gets more detailed as I found myself taking more notes... Stranded Start date: 180-1080 Day 1 Due to a miss-jump we ended up having to do an emergency landing on Gunn in an escape pod. Landed on the glacier on the East of the Island. Met up with...
