Freaks & Facades: A D&D Campaign Recap

       You!  Yes, you!   Welcome to Freaks & Facades Session Nine : Chaos and Collisions !  Our band of friendly Freaks are on the move, but their forces are split right down the middle!      Following the scheme set forth by the secretive Claudine LaFitte ;  Solange, Channa and Pryrrish are heading to the nigh-abandoned Montagne estate!  There may be evidence linking the malevolent Baron to an infamous spree killer, known as The Black Dog , free for the taking!      The Baron Montagne himself, and everyone of influence in the village of Campanula, are attending the Chaveau Derby on this day.  An even more important figure, a member of the Council of Brilliance, is supposedly attending this last derby of the season!  Therefore, to keep track of the Baron's movements, our odd couple pair of Fenri and  Schrödinger  will be attending the races!        Their loc...

     Welcome!  To all of our felonious friends and you suspicious strangers too!   We bring you back to Freaks & Facades , in time for   Session Seven : What Remains !       Our beloved Freaks have been fully introduced to the many faces of the frivolous Campanula nobility: such as the prideful Lord Isaac Montagne , the stable Lord Jacquard and the chaotically delightful  Claudine LaFitte .        They also saw the  terrible  power these prideful paragons of wealth could truly wield--through meeting the cold, calculated Baron Montagne , the lord over all of Campanula.        Night's Vengeance is still wanted for the Bonmot Family Massacre , framed by the Baron.  And while attempting to attend tea with this terribly powerful noble (after clashing rapiers out of the blue), our group failed to obtain evidence linking the Baron to the crime!  Inste...

       Welcome back to Freaks & Facades !       Our story tonight has our misanthropic misfits  surviving Session Six:  Teatime at House Montagne !     At the end of last session , Our beloved Freaks are literally strutting into the mansion of the most powerful noble in all of  Campanula , the enigmatic and dangerous  Baron Montagne .  F ather to the pompous scion Lord Isaac Montagne II , and the presumed conspirator against the local masked mischief maker,  Night's Vengeance !        Our group has been invited to afternoon tea with this powerful nobleman, though perhaps the group was too hasty to accept it...        After all, one of our Freaks (not naming names,  Fenri ) incited a riot in town just a few hours ago!  In the Baron's own town of all things, proclaiming him as a murderer !      With good intentions, our righteous Fe...

    Greetings, our fans both foul and fair!        Welcome back to  Freaks & Facades!  To Session Five :  Consequences of Bravery !       During the previous session , our beloved Freaks decided to intervene in the attempted murder of the mischievous vigilante,  Night's Vengeance !      Powers were revealed, conspiracies were unearthed and the night ended on disagreement (and fear at having revealed one's truer self).  Our friendly- ish  Freaks went to bed disheartened...        For Campanula has a dark kingpin, willing to destroy entire lives and households...        And our group of new strangers has intervened in their dark machinations...        Can they truly work together to unmask this corrupt conspiracy, or will they continue to not meet eye to eye?    Come along with us, at th...

     Welcome back, my favorite people on the internet!        This is our story recap of Session Four of Freaks & Facades: Perilous Roads .       Our cast of beloved Freaks is officially in Ravenloft proper...  Intervening in others' business, with violent results...       Since waking up in the backwoods area of Campanula, our friendly band appears to get along well with one another.  They are not exactly fast friends all around, and every one of them holds their cards close to their chest; but perhaps with time they could be a proper adventuring party.     The Freaks currently are all in agreement: t hey must discover why they have been brought together.  Some of them from entirely different worlds!  And the nation's capitol of Port-a-Lucine is their best bet to obtain the resources to understand their situations...      But now they are in a scuffle ...

     Welcome back, readers and rogues alike!        This is the recap of Session Three of Freaks & Facades: The Misty Morning .        Our cast of beloved Freaks has had quite the night .  Quite a dark, dark night indeed…        The Freaks’ time at the Ravens Loft Inn has come to a close, many questions left burning like the ashes of that mysterious tavern’s hearth.  First impressions were made, masks held tight amongst the group of strangers.  The Inn’s strange circumstances placed each of them in a bloodstained room during their stay, and their futures were read by a near-comatose Vistani seer.        When night came they found a curtain of darkness and animated furniture attempt to swallow them up!  Many were flung into the darkness unaware; while others struggled to hold the light.        One of our Freaks discovered a n...
