What do you do in Tékumel? Here's some examples

The game definitely started to take a darker turn as the evening went on. Part 2 Practice makes perfect, as someone once said, and both Horu and Ghachayal had a lot of practice doing these types of jobs.   Yet, something was bothering Ghachayal; why should a lowly scribe be such a concern and require this attention? Wouldn't it have been easier, and cheaper, if Agama had just gotten some toughs from the marketplace to settle the matter? A few kaitars, a quick stab in the back when Kageshi was making his way home one night, the obvious victim of a robbery. Normally, Ghachayal didn't bother to ask why, or even expect an answer. When given a task he saw it through and that was the end of it. Many things had changed in the last few months, including it would seem himself. Lost in thought, Ghachayal suddenly started, and almost fell from the palanquin. "You realise that you've been set up" a voice had clearly said. A voice that didn't belong to Horu, o...

Game Session 12, November 25, 2017 This is the first part of a long and productive Saturday evening of gaming. I have jumped ahead about 8 months real time, (and 6 months game time) from the first post. The party is currently 3rd Level. 9 Dohála 2340. (6 months and many hundreds of Tsan later) Part 1. The evening is cool, but tolerable, and the nearby neatly tended garden is full of the sound of insects and other nocturnal creatures. If one carefully looks one can see armed guards patrolling the shadows.   Although only 5 people are seated on the thick carpet the amount of noise being generated by them would lead one to believe, were he not standing nearby, that a party was being held. Much laughter, and shouts of joy and disbelief could be heard. A musician is playing on a stringed instrument, adding to the general merriment. The five people are, and in no particular order, Horu hiFa'asu, Ghachayal hiKhalumis, Dadayal hiVríddi , Autso hiVríddi, and Agama hiViri...

I started my current Tekumel Campaign in February 2016. After many years of non-gaming I decided to give it another go. Instead setting it in the usual 2354 AS I decided to go back a little further. When it was determined that the players would all be from the Vriddi Clan the choice of year was simple -2340 the year of the Vriddi revolt. This is what we have come up with so far. Our Intrepid Crew And thus the adventures begin in early 2340 AS… Let me tell you a tale my friends. Even noble clans like the Vríddi have their share of Black Sheep. Whether it was due to a misplaced look, a misspoken word, a moment of perceived hesitation in the face of a foe, or simply bad luck Horu hiFa'asu, Ghachayal hiKhalumis, Quar hiVu'unavu, and "Banki-Bassun" hiFas'asu found themselves in this most un-envious of positions. The most meaningless and trivial of jobs the clan masters would   give it to them to look after. So and so owes the clan money –send them to ha...
