Session 2

This session was played on 2025-07-21. In it Clark and Gaia tried to hunt a lynx-shaped aberration and found instead an international terrorist trying to smuggle some strange artifact.

Plot

The day after Session 1, Gaia drives Iorena and Ferret back to the staging area. Iorena is quite upset because there has been a huge communication issue resulting in very bad planning that caused many towns downstream from the Zone to not be ready for the influx of insecticide that's being used in this year's Hunt

In the staging grounds, Clark has his breakfast conversation interrupted by a fight in which a group of burly locals are attempting to beat a small young man. Outside the mess tent, Clark sees the young man meeting with an older gentleman with a sword.

Having reached the staging grounds, Iorena is shocked to learn that international terrorist Victor Vituska has been sighted around the Zone, and Lieutenant Bodrik is now offering a reward for anyone who either provides information or gets him, dead or alive.

Clark recognizes Vituska in the newly placed wanted posters as the old man helping Zach, but refuses to participate in a manhunt. Instead, him and Gaia decide to hunt a lynx-like aberration that has been sighted in the hills.

Following a stream uphill, they fail to find the aberration, but they do find a hidden cache in the bottom of the stream that contains a simple white silk fingerless glove. When he tries it on, Clark's cryokinesis activates, creating a sphere of cold around his hand and he rips the glove off his hand scared.

They are then found by Victor and Zach who followed the stream in a car and were very upset to find the cache open and the glove missing. Clark and Gaia shot Vituska, but he hides behind the car and uses his sword to generate shockwaves and hit them from afar. Both Clark and Gaia end hurt on the floor, but Clark manages to trick Zach to charge him on the path where he placed a beartrap, snapping Zach's leg.

Clark threatens Vituska with killing Zach if they don't go away, but in the resulting tussle, he finds that Zach does have breasts. Upon noticing this, Vituska slices Zach's neck, while he's restrained by Clark.

Refusing to allow Zach to die, Clark unleashes his cryokinesis, freezing him between life and death, and then starts bombarding Vituska with it, Vituska manages to defend himself until he is attacked also by Gaia, then his left hand is frozen solid forcing him to run away.

Trivia

Rose failed again to appear in this session, this time because her player had forgotten there was an actual session going on.

Unleashing his cryokinesis slightly changed Clark's aspect, making him slightly paler and colder, and the thin white strand of hair on his head to become wider. The reasons for that are only known to his player and the narrator, though.

Iorena's backstory has winks and nods to Final Fantasy VI, including hunting a snail the size of a house and keeping booze inside a grandfather clock.

Even with Victor's insane level, the party has almost managed to immobilize him twice. Gaia has even shot his hat off.
