Intro

The Circle of Solars (and one Dragonblooded) my players were running made a deal with a group of Abyssals. The Abyssals were to stage an assault on some of the Silver Prince's forces, which would cause him to pull some away from the Isle of Shadows. The Solars would then attack the Isle and prevent to Silver Prince from gaining access to its First Age shipyards. Rather than just say "The Abyssals were successful, you guys can attack now" I decieded to let my players control the Abyssals. This let them try different character concepts as well as change up the pace.

Sailor on the Seas of Woe - Alicrast's player
Architect of the Blasphemous Havoc - Moksha's player
Voice of Those Taken Away - Isabella's player

Starting Out

After some discussion the Shadow's Servants decied to draw the Silver Prince's attention by going to the southwest and provoking the Lintha and Moray Darktide. Truth and Voice, the social characters, head to the south to make contact with Voice's spy network to gather intel. Architect and Sailor decied to sail Dark Harvest through the Underworld to their destination. Wraith debates a bit, and then deciedes to take the ship.

Once the Southwest is reached Architect uses Shadow Stones Travel to travel to Creation. They search for Moray in the usual Abyssal fasion. They get a lead in the third village put to the sword, and head west on the trail of Darktide.

Moray's port of call was a mid sized pirate port whose name was of no consequence. Dark Havest sailed back into the Underworld to give the group a chance to plan. The debate was ended with Architect getting fed up and casting Void Cocoon Warrior grabbing Sailor and putting him on his shoulder and striding away from the ship. Sailor cast Shadow Stones Travel and the screaming began.
