...with Burns. Fantastic play by the players. Tons of other cool moments from the other characters, too, apart from Burns's issues. To Be Continued.

...gives a source of stress relief when they look out for each other, source of courage. A scout named Icky (reeeeal piece of work) has Burns as his best buddy. When Burns and Pike report back for duty, Icky hassles Burns telling him he needs to keep a lid on all that demon stuff because it will...

They exchange words, Pike gets angry and freaked out, gathers his stuff and sleeps out between tents elsewhere in the camp til some annoyed soldier boots him out of the way. Next. So in TBC every soldier can name one other PC as their Best Buddy. That...

...Oh I forgot, during this long late night talk, Burns's wounded squadmate Pike the next bunk over wakes up. Sits up in bed and says all badass, "Well I guess nobody gets to sleep in here tonight." Soulcatcher gives him A Look, so I made Pike make a "withstanding terror" roll: either Discipline...

...abject servitude seems fair. Soulcatcher is one of the Ten Who Were Taken, has been the slave of more powerful sorcerers for centuries. Says as pretty cold comfort: "You do get used to it after a while." Burns gets really wiggy about that possibility and declines. Soulcatcher laughs. Departs. ...
