The story so far[edit]

Chapter one: trouble at Tir nan Og[edit]

Randy is spooked by something at The Sleepless Goat, and bolts. Hepsebah tails him to Tir nan Og, where a small angry mob is growing and getting more angry.

Jayne is disturbed by the early closure of the public library and wanders around, confused. She eventually walks past The Purple Door and overhears Annie telling Chet off for mandating that the library be closed earlier. Jayne is upset that her boss has overturned her schedule, but agrees to meet him for lunch the next day.

Annie suggests that Chet go to Tir nan Og to find out what his constituency thinks of him. Chet goes to talk to them, and Rishon, inhabiting Jayne, takes off after him. Chet gets a cold reception at the pub, and tries to open dialogue to smooth things through.

System details[edit]

The game is being run at "Up to your waist" level. This means 7 base refresh, 25 skill points. The +4 cap on skills is relaxed, so characters can have a (narrow) skill pyramid peaking at Superb.
