A Welcome Respite (Suns Apart - Campaign 2 - Session 3.5)

PCs:

Iziki'el - Master of the Loom (Weaver 1st degree); wielder of Blood, Infinity, and Freedom

Xeni - Shaper (Maker 1st degree); School of Matter, expert in smoke

Claviger Velamur - Prime Maker (Maker 4th Degree); School of Form; expert in keys, locks, doors, and bone

• A few days after the harrowing events of session 3, Iziki'el and Xeni meet for drinks
• Xeni has brought along Claviger, an experienced Maker and old acquaintance of hers
• They meet up at Cafe, a bar in Fartown that Xeni works at
• In the daytime it is a cafe called Bar, and once the sun sets it transforms (the whole decor magically shifts) into a bar called Cafe
• They just chat about anything an everything, catch up, and while away the night over cocktails

This was a session that just consisted of my wife and I sharing drinks with a friend and chatting for a few hours in character. Instead of GMing, I played a character of mine from an old Invisible Sun campaign (Claviger) and we had no GM since the session was all talk no "action".

This session was an experiment I had wanted to try for a while where we prepared some food and drinks IRL, and then printed out some menus so players could order and item in character and then actually be served a themed comestible in real life. We used the Cafe/Bar recipes from Chapter 2 of "The Directed Campaign", a published adventure for Invisible Sun. The minor magic bites (ritz crackers topped with cheeze, wrapped in raw bacon, and then cooked all together) were worth the steep 2 orb charge, and the Wicked Key was Claviger's favorite drink (naturally), though the Blue Danger was the crowd favorite.

WICKED KEY

✦ 1 part lime juice

✦ 1 part sugar or simple syrup

juice, and sugar. Stir. Fill with ginger beer. Top

blackstrap molasses instead of rum.

blue curaçao, and top with lemonade. Drizzle

a swirl of grenadine over the top and add the
