> Yesterday was our Fay Jee campaign's 20th game, and marked the begining of the
> Players' first Grand Trekk, the re-enactment of Saint Caselain's travels.
>
> While in Joral, seat of their House's mortal ennemy Baron Jhoraz, the players
> met the local Ashara episcope : an inebriated wreck, living in terror of the
> Baron's dread powers and drowning his failings in alcohol.
>
> One of the players is Ysgrin, a Caselain liturgist and de facto leader of the
> expedition. Seeing this, he rose from the table in anger and thundered against
> the drunken episcope, using just the right words : how he was hiding in
> drunkeness, was a failure in the eyes of God and his flock, what shame he
> brought on all churchmen and how he should redeem himself by accompanying the
> players on their Trekk. He also broke the episcope's fetish he used to relieve
> his hangovers in front of him. I played the episcope as reeling from each
> sentence.
>
> The player had such flame and eloquence, we all enjoyed his tirade so much I let
> it go without a die roll. Episcope Beppo of Joral joined the PCs' trekk without
> looking back. They made it official at the ceremony just before the caravan left
> Joral and thus gave a nice black eye to Baron Jhoraz, against whom they were
> fuming since he had treated them like shit during the feast and at their
> audience.
>
> Just as a tease, as the caravan was about to cross Joral's outside gate, I had
> the guards stop it and request the PCs' presence before the Baron. They went
> with great worry...
