Session 41 of Changeling: In Your Heart Shall Burn completed. +1 XP Total: 74 XP Beat Progression: 1 out of 5 Story Rewards: Hollow * (Motley) Allies: Something Worse ***** (Lauren Ipsum) Status: North Avenue Community Center * (Nels) Four ** Tokens (half story merit, half Tony's XP) Motley Merits: Hollow *+**** (Maggie, Melanie) Still, Under Negotiation ** (Nels) Server Farm, Server Fetch * (Stewart) Hobnobbers * (Tony) Shadow Garden * (Nels) Goblin Debt: Stewart: 4 Melanie: 1 Tony: 6 Goblin Deals: 4 Coins of the Realm Tony: Can apply the Hob Kin merit (+1 on rolls) to all rolls related to the strike at the Notgnixel Yards Tokens: Shining Star (*) The Walking Man is the reluctant sheriff and roaming circuit court judge of the Hedge. It’s unclear whence he derives his authority, but it certainly comes from somewhere, because he is incredibly personally potent and seemingly unwilling to muster its full force. He enforces the rules of Arcadia: he will return escaped changelings to their masters if presented with a proper Writ of Ownership, but he does not appear compelled to hunt for them, nor will he tell a Keeper where their changeling is -- or even if he has seen them -- without being directly asked. He loathes more than anything the Pigs: the self-appointed ‘police’ of the Hedge, Huntsman and thugs to the last, and while his hands are tied in most matters relating to changelings, he is willing to make a very standard, very potent, very niche deal: a badge in exchange for information. Changelings who become The Walking Man’s CI must answer one question he poses to them truthfully -- which can come before or after they accept the deal -- and in exchange they receive a perfect, shining Sheriff’s star they can flash at any hobgoblin which accosts them...once. Should the hobgoblin, having seen the star, continue to antagonize, harass, or threaten the bearer of the star, The Walking Man will step out of the nearest Hedgewall to immediately mediate -- or violently end -- the dispute, acting as the changeling’s advocate. The star, of course, cannot be used against the Gentry, even those who are not the changeling’s Keeper. Regardless, after a single use, the star tarnishes and crumbles away, and the changeling will have to make another deal with The Walking Man to get his protection once more. Catch: The user is bodily threatened by the target of the star. Drawback: Upon use, the star is destroyed. Kant's Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals (**) This ratty tome contains categorisations of ethical positions by the people who hold them. It can be read to calibrate a subject's moral position on any topic, finding the exact point where things turn morally grey for them, the point between acceptable and unacceptable. The reader can roll Manipulation+Empathy+(dot rating) to discern a subject's position, or Manipulation+Expression+(dot rating) to quote a passage that makes the target think. Catch: The reader and the subject have never discussed the selected topic before. Drawback: The reader's own true opinion on the controversial topic is obvious to the subject. Siren's Song (**) An old, beat-up acoustic guitar that nevertheless keeps perfect tune with rich sound and never snaps a string. Grants 8-action on Expression actions performed with the guitar upon activation. Catch: No men are present to hear its song. Drawback: The user gains the Obsession condition while playing their song; this condition only resolves when they finish their song, regardless of how many times they are interrupted. No Escape (**) A slightly dirty and battered IBM Model M keyboard, in perfect working order despite its appearance, except for a missing Esc key. Allows an entity to communicate by typing without having to materialize or manifest. Catch: The keyboard is plugged into a computer owned by or metaphysically tied to the entity in question. Drawback: After communication ends, any entity who used No Escape can communicate with the owner of the token by text messages or emails of indiscernible origin freely for one lunar month. Vines of Bacchus (*) (6 Goblin Fruit Craft Beers) Bexr (*) (11 Goblin Fruit Beers) The Bexr offers no real magical enhancement to the imbiber...except the ability to get for-real drunk on a 0 calorie beverage that fades from the body in an hour. Each Bexr tastes like a different style of mass-market beer, always acceptable, never remarkable. Box of Handmade 9mm Bullets (30) (*) Studies of the Yard (*) Immaculately beautiful recreations of Oriole Park at Camden Yards as it never existed. Can be consumed at any time to gain 2 Glamour.

Session 45 of Changeling: In Your Heart Shall Burn completed. +1 XP Total: 80 XP Beat Progression: 1 out of 5 Story Rewards: Hollow * (Motley) Allies: Something Worse ***** (Lauren Ipsum) Status: North Avenue Community Center * (Nels) Four ** Tokens (half story merit, half Tony's XP) Motley Merits: Hollow *+**** (Maggie, Melanie) Still, Under Negotiation ** (Nels) Server Farm, Server Fetch * (Stewart) Hobnobbers * (Tony) Shadow Garden * (Nels) Goblin Debt: Stewart: 4 Melanie: 1 Tony: 6 Goblin Deals: 4 Coins of the Realm Tony: Can apply the Hob Kin merit (+1 on rolls) to all rolls related to the strike at the Notgnixel Yards Tokens: Shining Star (*) The Walking Man is the reluctant sheriff and roaming circuit court judge of the Hedge. It’s unclear whence he derives his authority, but it certainly comes from somewhere, because he is incredibly personally potent and seemingly unwilling to muster its full force. He enforces the rules of Arcadia: he will return escaped changelings to their masters if presented with a proper Writ of Ownership, but he does not appear compelled to hunt for them, nor will he tell a Keeper where their changeling is -- or even if he has seen them -- without being directly asked. He loathes more than anything the Pigs: the self-appointed ‘police’ of the Hedge, Huntsman and thugs to the last, and while his hands are tied in most matters relating to changelings, he is willing to make a very standard, very potent, very niche deal: a badge in exchange for information. Changelings who become The Walking Man’s CI must answer one question he poses to them truthfully -- which can come before or after they accept the deal -- and in exchange they receive a perfect, shining Sheriff’s star they can flash at any hobgoblin which accosts them...once. Should the hobgoblin, having seen the star, continue to antagonize, harass, or threaten the bearer of the star, The Walking Man will step out of the nearest Hedgewall to immediately mediate -- or violently end -- the dispute, acting as the changeling’s advocate. The star, of course, cannot be used against the Gentry, even those who are not the changeling’s Keeper. Regardless, after a single use, the star tarnishes and crumbles away, and the changeling will have to make another deal with The Walking Man to get his protection once more. Catch: The user is bodily threatened by the target of the star. Drawback: Upon use, the star is destroyed. Kant's Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals (**) This ratty tome contains categorisations of ethical positions by the people who hold them. It can be read to calibrate a subject's moral position on any topic, finding the exact point where things turn morally grey for them, the point between acceptable and unacceptable. The reader can roll Manipulation+Empathy+(dot rating) to discern a subject's position, or Manipulation+Expression+(dot rating) to quote a passage that makes the target think. Catch: The reader and the subject have never discussed the selected topic before. Drawback: The reader's own true opinion on the controversial topic is obvious to the subject. Siren's Song (**) An old, beat-up acoustic guitar that nevertheless keeps perfect tune with rich sound and never snaps a string. Grants 8-action on Expression actions performed with the guitar upon activation. Catch: No men are present to hear its song. Drawback: The user gains the Obsession condition while playing their song; this condition only resolves when they finish their song, regardless of how many times they are interrupted. No Escape (**) A slightly dirty and battered IBM Model M keyboard, in perfect working order despite its appearance, except for a missing Esc key. Allows an entity to communicate by typing without having to materialize or manifest. Catch: The keyboard is plugged into a computer owned by or metaphysically tied to the entity in question. Drawback: After communication ends, any entity who used No Escape can communicate with the owner of the token by text messages or emails of indiscernible origin freely for one lunar month. Vines of Bacchus (*) (6 Goblin Fruit Craft Beers) Bexr (*) (11 Goblin Fruit Beers) The Bexr offers no real magical enhancement to the imbiber...except the ability to get for-real drunk on a 0 calorie beverage that fades from the body in an hour. Each Bexr tastes like a different style of mass-market beer, always acceptable, never remarkable. Box of Handmade 9mm Bullets (30) (*) Studies of the Yard (*) Immaculately beautiful recreations of Oriole Park at Camden Yards as it never existed. Can be consumed at any time to gain 2 Glamour.

Session 47 of Changeling: In Your Heart Shall Burn completed. +1 XP, +1 beat XP Total: 83 XP Beat Progression: 1 out of 5 Story Rewards: Hollow * (Motley) Allies: Something Worse ***** (Lauren Ipsum) Status: North Avenue Community Center * (Nels) Four ** Tokens (half story merit, half Tony's XP) Motley Merits: Hollow *+**** (Maggie, Melanie) Still, Under Negotiation ** (Nels) Server Farm, Server Fetch * (Stewart) Hobnobbers * (Tony) Shadow Garden * (Nels) Goblin Debt: Stewart: 4 Melanie: 1 Tony: 6 Goblin Deals: 4 Coins of the Realm Tony: Can apply the Hob Kin merit (+1 on rolls) to all rolls related to the strike at the Notgnixel Yards Tokens: Shining Star (*) The Walking Man is the reluctant sheriff and roaming circuit court judge of the Hedge. It’s unclear whence he derives his authority, but it certainly comes from somewhere, because he is incredibly personally potent and seemingly unwilling to muster its full force. He enforces the rules of Arcadia: he will return escaped changelings to their masters if presented with a proper Writ of Ownership, but he does not appear compelled to hunt for them, nor will he tell a Keeper where their changeling is -- or even if he has seen them -- without being directly asked. He loathes more than anything the Pigs: the self-appointed ‘police’ of the Hedge, Huntsman and thugs to the last, and while his hands are tied in most matters relating to changelings, he is willing to make a very standard, very potent, very niche deal: a badge in exchange for information. Changelings who become The Walking Man’s CI must answer one question he poses to them truthfully -- which can come before or after they accept the deal -- and in exchange they receive a perfect, shining Sheriff’s star they can flash at any hobgoblin which accosts them...once. Should the hobgoblin, having seen the star, continue to antagonize, harass, or threaten the bearer of the star, The Walking Man will step out of the nearest Hedgewall to immediately mediate -- or violently end -- the dispute, acting as the changeling’s advocate. The star, of course, cannot be used against the Gentry, even those who are not the changeling’s Keeper. Regardless, after a single use, the star tarnishes and crumbles away, and the changeling will have to make another deal with The Walking Man to get his protection once more. Catch: The user is bodily threatened by the target of the star. Drawback: Upon use, the star is destroyed. Kant's Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals (**) This ratty tome contains categorisations of ethical positions by the people who hold them. It can be read to calibrate a subject's moral position on any topic, finding the exact point where things turn morally grey for them, the point between acceptable and unacceptable. The reader can roll Manipulation+Empathy+(dot rating) to discern a subject's position, or Manipulation+Expression+(dot rating) to quote a passage that makes the target think. Catch: The reader and the subject have never discussed the selected topic before. Drawback: The reader's own true opinion on the controversial topic is obvious to the subject. Siren's Song (**) An old, beat-up acoustic guitar that nevertheless keeps perfect tune with rich sound and never snaps a string. Grants 8-action on Expression actions performed with the guitar upon activation. Catch: No men are present to hear its song. Drawback: The user gains the Obsession condition while playing their song; this condition only resolves when they finish their song, regardless of how many times they are interrupted. No Escape (**) A slightly dirty and battered IBM Model M keyboard, in perfect working order despite its appearance, except for a missing Esc key. Allows an entity to communicate by typing without having to materialize or manifest. Catch: The keyboard is plugged into a computer owned by or metaphysically tied to the entity in question. Drawback: After communication ends, any entity who used No Escape can communicate with the owner of the token by text messages or emails of indiscernible origin freely for one lunar month. Vines of Bacchus (*) (6 Goblin Fruit Craft Beers) Bexr (*) (11 Goblin Fruit Beers) The Bexr offers no real magical enhancement to the imbiber...except the ability to get for-real drunk on a 0 calorie beverage that fades from the body in an hour. Each Bexr tastes like a different style of mass-market beer, always acceptable, never remarkable. Box of Handmade 9mm Bullets (30) (*) Studies of the Yard (*) Immaculately beautiful recreations of Oriole Park at Camden Yards as it never existed. Can be consumed at any time to gain 2 Glamour.

Session 49 of Changeling: In Your Heart Shall Burn completed. +1 XP Total: 86 XP Beat Progression: 4 out of 5 Story Rewards: Hollow * (Motley) Allies: Something Worse ***** (Lauren Ipsum) Status: North Avenue Community Center * (Nels) Four ** Tokens (half story merit, half Tony's XP) Motley Merits: Hollow *+**** (Maggie, Melanie) Still, Under Negotiation ** (Nels) Server Farm, Server Fetch * (Stewart) Hobnobbers * (Tony) Shadow Garden * (Nels) Goblin Debt: Stewart: 4 Tony: 5 Goblin Deals: 4 Coins of the Realm Tony: Can apply the Hob Kin merit (+1 on rolls) to all rolls related to the strike at the Notgnixel Yards Tokens: Shining Star (*) The Walking Man is the reluctant sheriff and roaming circuit court judge of the Hedge. It’s unclear whence he derives his authority, but it certainly comes from somewhere, because he is incredibly personally potent and seemingly unwilling to muster its full force. He enforces the rules of Arcadia: he will return escaped changelings to their masters if presented with a proper Writ of Ownership, but he does not appear compelled to hunt for them, nor will he tell a Keeper where their changeling is -- or even if he has seen them -- without being directly asked. He loathes more than anything the Pigs: the self-appointed ‘police’ of the Hedge, Huntsman and thugs to the last, and while his hands are tied in most matters relating to changelings, he is willing to make a very standard, very potent, very niche deal: a badge in exchange for information. Changelings who become The Walking Man’s CI must answer one question he poses to them truthfully -- which can come before or after they accept the deal -- and in exchange they receive a perfect, shining Sheriff’s star they can flash at any hobgoblin which accosts them...once. Should the hobgoblin, having seen the star, continue to antagonize, harass, or threaten the bearer of the star, The Walking Man will step out of the nearest Hedgewall to immediately mediate -- or violently end -- the dispute, acting as the changeling’s advocate. The star, of course, cannot be used against the Gentry, even those who are not the changeling’s Keeper. Regardless, after a single use, the star tarnishes and crumbles away, and the changeling will have to make another deal with The Walking Man to get his protection once more. Catch: The user is bodily threatened by the target of the star. Drawback: Upon use, the star is destroyed. Kant's Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals (**) This ratty tome contains categorisations of ethical positions by the people who hold them. It can be read to calibrate a subject's moral position on any topic, finding the exact point where things turn morally grey for them, the point between acceptable and unacceptable. The reader can roll Manipulation+Empathy+(dot rating) to discern a subject's position, or Manipulation+Expression+(dot rating) to quote a passage that makes the target think. Catch: The reader and the subject have never discussed the selected topic before. Drawback: The reader's own true opinion on the controversial topic is obvious to the subject. Siren's Song (**) An old, beat-up acoustic guitar that nevertheless keeps perfect tune with rich sound and never snaps a string. Grants 8-action on Expression actions performed with the guitar upon activation. Catch: No men are present to hear its song. Drawback: The user gains the Obsession condition while playing their song; this condition only resolves when they finish their song, regardless of how many times they are interrupted. No Escape (**) A slightly dirty and battered IBM Model M keyboard, in perfect working order despite its appearance, except for a missing Esc key. Allows an entity to communicate by typing without having to materialize or manifest. Catch: The keyboard is plugged into a computer owned by or metaphysically tied to the entity in question. Drawback: After communication ends, any entity who used No Escape can communicate with the owner of the token by text messages or emails of indiscernible origin freely for one lunar month. Vines of Bacchus (*) (6 Goblin Fruit Craft Beers) Bexr (*) (11 Goblin Fruit Beers) The Bexr offers no real magical enhancement to the imbiber...except the ability to get for-real drunk on a 0 calorie beverage that fades from the body in an hour. Each Bexr tastes like a different style of mass-market beer, always acceptable, never remarkable. The Good Stuff (*) (3 Trifles) For those who can stomach it, the user achieves an exceptional success on three successes when using any fae power, such as inciting Bedlam, invoking Contracts, and using her kenning, for the scene’s duration. Box of Handmade 9mm Bullets (30) (*) Studies of the Yard (*) Immaculately beautiful recreations of Oriole Park at Camden Yards as it never existed. Can be consumed at any time to gain 2 Glamour.
