Well this is my first time actually logging my gaming sessions. First some backstory, a friend really liked Gurps, but I was wary cause the mountain of rules of learning the system would be. Everyone seem else wanted to give it a chance so I rolled with it.
Characters:
- Me-Argonaut - I tried to put more effort into this guy, he’s a 1950’s catholic boat salesman that is a part-time hunter of supernatural entities. Part rip off of the Supernatural show. Big points Argonaut goes invisible, intangible, and has a rifle and drops grenades cause it doesn’t hurt him.
- Bill Nye – He’s a high tech science Mcgauver that is OCD about tech and very curious.
- Darthous – He’s a sith and a maraluka (blind), I try very hard to get him not to kill everything.
- Kitty – A female half dragon cat. Talks, breathes fire and flies.
- Gabrielle – female high tech alchemist, I’m getting lot of explosives from her. She’s a pacifist though and tries to get us not to kill any living thing.
- Aurora – late comer Tolkien elf hunter from before human time.
- Avarice – Dmpc human healer mage. He’s a total klutz can barely walk without hurting, but he cooks our food.[/li][/list]
The Recruitment:
Normal day but I had a strange appointment made with what I thought was a empty building. Suspicious I went to check it out. When I got there a new store was mysteriously there. Inside I found a secretary with a strange type writer with a tv on top of it (computer). I was told to wait and then the unknown Bill came was told to wait with me. In a few minutes we were let in to the office. In said office we meet Allen, our soon to be new employer and manager.
He wants us to acquire some land for him. I’m supposedly gonna be the talkman for the group but I am ask if I have combat experience.
Later Bill and I are acquainted with Darthous the jackass sith, the alchemist and soon to find out sexual relief, and Avarice falls into the room. We then are drag to the armory to meet the weapon master Angel a very pale winged man, apparently a fire mage. Angel seems angry when as soon we enter he tells us to leave or shut the fuck up. He has an egg under a heat lamp shaking and out of it come a disgusting scaled cat, this is the last time I see Angel smile. Introductions abound and the kitty actually speaks at only a few moments old.
We make preparations to leave, our vessel for departure is a surprisingly pink battle tank that I guess is of alien origin. We draw straws to see who is getting trained to drive it. Klutz excludes himself from the drawing as it the sith and cat. In shrinking pool of candidates I get chosen to drive it. I take to it almost naturally didn’t even crash it. As we start a blinding portal opens and Angel tells me to drive through it. On the other side is a foreign landscape of rock and trees and we are told to we have to hoof it to the destination so as not to scare our soon to be vendors.
I’m the only one having a hard time thinking this isn’t a dream and when we come on the village it’s populated by GOBLINS, more than a hundred of them. The group explains to me and Darthous that they are not demons/don’t killed them. Plan is talk to the chief and convince him to move slightly down the hill. Chief says the hill is sacred and they won’t move no matter how many gifts we give him. Argonaut, the sith, and kitty go to the temple to convince them to help us. We meet a demigoddess running things. I go bug eyed and in a moment of self-doubt try to convert her to Catholicism and fail horribly. Then she demands I should worship a real god like her. I agree in a weird way ask Darthous if he wants to join in as I disrobe. A few hours later we depart with a lie that the god will bless the relocation.
Back at the village Bill and crew have talk the next in line and promised toilets in exchange to the move and it seems all agree on the move. We actually finish without any blood shed much to the disappointment to the Darthous.
That was about a month ago and I forget a lot of the “ums and ohs” and especially the lets just kill them (the chief and son indicated to be very strong I know strong goblins ha).
This next is the latest mission and this one turned into a GIANT cluster fuck and the Appearance of Aurora.
Since our last mission was a bloodless success this one seemed geared for combat. We are assigned to rescue an orphanage from EVIL scientists engineering the children into weapons. First off no more battle tank cause somehow Darthous wanted to joy ride it in his semi blindness, ends badly. Now we get a van and we drive to the building in no style everyone is saddened by this.
At the site Bill goes to turn off the power and the fuse box is a badly made fake. Like no power lines to the building fake. Next I want some recon so I turn insubstantial and bump into the wall, wait that’s not right I’m ghosting. These a-holes somehow ghost proofed there entire fucking house, kinda pissed but hey may be unfair to bypass the entire mission. So we open the door and do this the normal way. Exploring montage:
Find a kid -> Bill trips silent alarm -> Police are called -> plod on in come death or high water-> find stair case locked and with force field, no ghosting no locks just giving Bill another chance to hose us -> surprise he actually opens the door, and sith cuts it to pieces so no one can lock it in case of a chase -> We finally find some bad guys Gabrielle says don’t kill them cause she’s a nancy. So Bill hoses us by turning off the lights. I throw some gas bombs and knock one out the other bolts. -> sudden call that cops are close -> Bill, Gab and Avarice bolt -> kitty goes to random room after a noise -> Find I kid you not the Johnny Test twins test a toddler for lasers, they grab the cat and Darthous threatens them to put it down -> Argonaut is on the other side of the building, and the erect a force field trapping themselves and the cat.
-> Recap Kitty is catnapped, three have bolted, and I’m stuck with a jackass and the quiet, shy, xenophobe elf. Did you know she was there no, neither did I. Well some cops come down to see the child torture labs and surprise, surprise they’re on the payroll. In a whirl of action Sithy tries to lightning the Test twins, I throw all my sleeping gas at the cops. The force field bounces back and nearly kills Darthous, and one cop drops to the gas. Aurora gets a description of the heave lasers the cops have and gives the fuck up and start shooting the cops while ghosting to no affect because tech armor. Darthous and Aurora get dragged hurriedly upstairs.
Elsewhere the cowards get surrounded by the cops and a god damn tank. Also the kid we found is in the van so in a weird bit of courage Gabs pulls a grenade to bluff the cops. Well guess what lasers and emp’s later they have no weapons or van; somehow Gabs is thrown 50ft away and knock unconscious. Bill flash bangs and the others get away just like batman. Here’s where we come in, or as it’s just me, I come in. A tank to my right and most my group being taken to an armored van. I choose to try to take the tank because it will probably be more helpful than them. And much to my butthurt it has a GOD DAMN FORCE FIELD!! Also it seems that it can see be ghosting and I reluctantly go try to save my co-workers. I wait in the back with them till we get on the road then go up front and HE SEES ME, GOD DAMN HOW MANY PEOPLE SEE INVISIBLE GHOSTS ON THIS GOD FORSAKEN PLANET. Driver tells me to leave I do cause fuck I’m startled, then I hurriedly drop a grenade next to his happy anus. As a surprise to me things don’t go my way driver is not dead and van is still running if a little worse for wear. Guess who wakes up but none other than Mr. Star wars himself who has a daddy of all explosives, A THERMAL DETONATOR ahem guess they didn't frisk him, I’m not saying no to any advantage I get. I tell them all to move to the back and I go up front fully expecting a railroad to the paddy wagon, but to my surprise the van is nearly vaporize except for the back of it and who do I see was driving this van after an explosion. It’s the governator himself a T-1000 type robot with EIGHT FRAKKING ARMS. Darth is out cold, my ghosting is strangely going on the frits and Gabs gets glue to the ground. Seeing as I have no more heavy fire power, the only one armed and about to get frakked up a ladder, I scream run and lob a flash bang grenade. Hey that hell mary worked Aurora and I escape.
And that’s the end of that session.
Spoiler no it wasn't. This was just a test to see how high a threat level missions we are able to handle, hey Bill and I sort of passed everyone else failed badly. Except that none of the enemies were on the payroll and this wasn’t a simulation. So the three imprisoned party members were deus exed out of incarceration and we were all humbled, nearly died because frakken anus holes.
Next session is who knows, but all in all had a lot of fun with Gurps. It’s a lot like 2nd edition with the roll under system and character building seems needlessly hard but playing is easy as pie apparently.
