It seems the scheme the Pit Crew enacted has worked like a charm! With Scratch polymorphed to Maja and narrowly dodging a bit in the neck, not that the option is totally off the table, our Pit Crew find themselves in an evening scrape. But will their foe find purchase, punishment, or supper in this scuffle in the Sky Spyre. And to think, all they w…

It seems the performance would turn from prancing to pugilism in this ambush. A little blood spilt, a few lies told, and some truths after that, and we find our Pit Crew once again sticking their necks out in the Sky Spyre. Not a great move the last time but I'm sure it won't come back to bite them this time. Exactly how good can Tama disguise a pe…

Can they just have one easy interview? Apparently not. Looks like Jambly wants to jam, and the Pit Crew work on damage control. We also find out what Scratch is up to while she sleeps? It's... less concerning than one might think. Now time to check in with the boss, the tall Asimar one, not the money man of Regel Sol. Our Crew is neck deep and soon…

Betrayed, our Pit Crew find themselves in a bit of a pickle. Well, a warehouse of pickled people. Seems our Sky Spyre has a bit of an undead infestation. But hopefully stealth, and a lot of fleeing, will find our protagonists safely back to the more civilized side of the grand tower of Midland. Really, though, if you think about it, why are there s…

Morality is a pretty gray thing. Hard to swallow but true none the less. As the Pit Crew discuss their next steps with Wilton they come to the conclusion that minimizing the potential cost of life is the best and they head on down to find J.J. on Floor 36. What will the sub-40 floors be like? Who is J.J. working with? Is that cigar smoke they smell…

Well, that was certainly a lot of death that just didn't seem necessary. Oh, and look, a wealthy businessman? With a meeting on the horizon and a lot of new trauma, maybe some booze will help steady the mind as our Pit Crew discusses who they can trust and who they can't. We do a mental health check-in and start to plan for the next evening, as wel…

The true main plot of this campaign isn't Champion Armor Combat, it's WASTE MANAGEMENT.

How many people need to have a conversation with the Pit Crew? All of them? It appears so. With a simple lunch at the 199, just after an explosion and announcement, the Pit Crew split to have a few chit-chats with a few people. Some are helpful, some are less helpful, and all are focused on that big boom that just occurred. How will our small sized…

The Pit Crew find themselves backed into a corner, or rather a store room, of a pewter wizard shop in Rockville, inside the Sky Spyre. Fortunately, they're also in the right place to settle a dispute between a by-blow and a pop star. Our protagonists pummel some rapscallions, converse with a performer, and find themselves nearly at the top of the S…

The Pit Crew find themselves traveling to Kenyer Kosar, the breadbasket of Midland, and into the Sky Spyre, the largest manmade structure in Midland. Rather than a tower, they find a complex reaching to the clouds, a mysterious dock that lacks common sense, a friendly concierge that helps with their acclimation, and a handful of tasks that might ma…

The Pit Crew clamor out of the claws of a curious room illusion, with the scent of cinnamon and cardamom in the air.
