Flight  to Gotham

Flight  to Gotham


After the Authority took over the Garden,  the Rebels scattered to the four corners of Gaia

Honora the Guardian escorted Bondi to a new save haven:
Bondi remembered a friend mentioning a safe space at The Sisters of Our Lady:
‘Ask for Sister Margareth!
On the road you will see the ruins of the war rumoured to hide many artefacts of the old times but also invested by several gangs.
Beyond that are the hunting grounds of the Mohawk who are at war with the Authority’s Vigilante Corps.
Avoid the main road!’

They decided to avoid the ruins…
…cursed by fire from Heaven during the War…
At the sight of the ruins in the distance, Bondi remembered nightmares of the battles…
A road block…

Toll collectors!

Bondi and Honora tried to escape through the woods, but a couple of the  thugs followed their trail…
Confrontation at the ford: one thug down, one fleeing away to call reinforcements!

Evading the thugs, our heroes arrived at a Mohawk warcamp…

Using sign language, Honora started a palaver with the war-chief.
Apparently they had a very ill tribe-member.
Bondi offered some healing…
Looking at the patient, they discovered some bite marks
As soon as Bondi put her holy symbol on the patient’s head, he started twitching as if having a seizure, apparently a vampiric infestation!
They had to put the patient down…

The tribe was grateful for the help and were willing to listen to our heroes
Honora warned the tribe of approaching bandits…

Within an hour the tribe went packing!

Our heroes continued their journey, while they heard the sounds of a distant battle…
Did the tribe confronted the bandits or the vigilantes?

Escaping through the woods, arriving at a clearing…
They found some traces of a boy scout party that recently made camp at this place:
Scattered teenage clothing, as if just lest behind!

Almost nightfall, time to rest.
Honora decided to take watch most of the time…

A sneak attack from behind…
The attacker already tried to put its claws around Honora’s neck, but was surprised by the opponent’s martial skill!
In a smooth move Honora grabbed the monster’s arm and threw it to the ground, following up with a quick axe swing through its neck!

After neutralising the monster, our heroes investigated the mystery of the vanishing boy-scouts, wondering what happened here..
Suddenly Sister Margareth appeared!

‘Come with me quickly! I will explain later!’

…To be continued…

Escape from the Garden

Escape from the Garden


The Bard sang the myth while the refugees traveled their Exodus 

“The Administration took power over the Garden, the Rebels lost the War:
How you are fallen from heaven, O Lightbringer, son of the morning!
Hear! Azrael will  rebuild  our Republic of Heaven

Hearing the song, the traveled wondered what would lay ahead.

Random thoughts:
When they came for yours, you had the plan, the escape route already mapped…
You may never reach a promised land, like the one you tell stories about, but you’ll find a home, if you can make it one…
When things started to get bad, you knew whose side you needed to be on…
You couldn’t stay where you were, could never spread your wings there

Gotham Malachim Voices/Images manifesting in Mythago World

We are angels, fallen into our world, wandering in unfamiliar, fragile bodies, looking for a people, places, and selves we can find comfort in.
The Nameless One perceived Its intention to create, and immediately the intentions scattered as fragments in the material time/space.
….
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.
The named is the mother of ten thousand things.
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery.
Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations.
These two spring from the same source but differ in name;
this appears as darkness.
Darkness within darkness.
The gate to all mystery.

What to do with the Joker ?

What to do with the Joker ?


Today I added a Joker to my cartomancy deck.
I decided to draw an Angel to represent the spiritual part of the Joker, the Holy Fool who travels the lifepath.

My way of cartomancy with  the Blue (Neutral) Joker:
Whenever I would use the whole deck in a 8×7 spread, I first shuffle the Joker in the deck to become the significator in the spread.
After laying down the cards in the spread, there wil be one card left as a special comment on the spread.
To add another layer of interpretation I might choose to draw one of my  malachim cards to receive a message from the Angel of the moment.
