Friend Quest

We get right to the action this time with the crew in the fight for their lives against a horde of creatures of nightmares. They escape with their lives and their sanity, but will it be enough to get out of this seemingly endless slog through time and space? OSLO loses a few years of security patches, Val tests the integrity of the reality they are in, and Henry has a pleasant conversation with a security guard at the cocktail party at the end of the universe.

After falling through a tear in space and time, Val, Henry, and OSLO end up in…well, hell. Or something resembling it. They embark on a journey led on by a mysterious, all-to-familiar figure. Val gets a tattoo, Henry tries to talk his way into heaven, and OSLO finds some baby demons.

Our friends meet an unfortunate end, but fear not! OSLO is able to salvage things and get Henry and Val back on their feet. However, what they discover next tests the adventurers’ resolve and, dare I say, their friendship. Well, maybe not their friendship. But things definitely get a little tricky, even a bit inconvenient.

The crew of the Aboleth makes it mostly intact to the center of the planet where Chester’s castle is, and decide that yes, they would like a spot of tea from the robot that greets them. Peter introduces the group to a new mini-game that is used to flesh out the world a bit and in the end, the group meets an unusual fate.

After making it through the review at TED HQ, our adventurers are ready to deploy on another mission, now with a new intern — Dakota. However, the new assignment is rather strange: the planet where they discovered Chester Electric that they had previously explored (and subsequently destroyed by accident) appears to be in a different location than when they were there last. It also appears to be completely intact. Cue dramatic music. Featuring: Mikkel Sandberg (https://twitter.com/sikkelmandberg), Paula Chew, Peter Freeby (https://twitter.com/peterfreeby), and Weston Mangin.

The crew is back at the home base to face a trial — sorry, “review” — for the recent events aboard the Aboleth. In order to prepare for the tribunal — sorry, “board” — the crew members each take some time to get things in order. Henry does some light reading, OSLO can’t do anything but sync (see what we did there?), and Val drinks and zooms and enhances. Featuring: Mikkel Sandberg (https://twitter.com/sikkelmandberg), Paula Chew, Peter Freeby (https://twitter.com/peterfreeby), and Weston Mangin.

The party pursues Dakota and Seamus through the ship, but are unable to stop them before they evacuate in an escape pod. To add to the already precarious situation, the runaways accidentally fire a signal flare at the Aboleth, which would typically not be a big deal, except that the ENTIRE TED armada was on high alert and registered this minuscule damage to the ship as a full-on assault. Needless to say, things get even more out of hand. Henry is quite dismissive of the whole situation, Val attempts a rescue operation, and OSLO coins a VERY GOOD phrase (see episode title). Featuring: Mikkel Sandberg (https://twitter.com/sikkelmandberg), Paula Chew, Peter Freeby (https://twitter.com/peterfreeby), and Weston Mangin.

After getting back to the present safe and sound, the crew on the Aboleth is forced to deal with yet another problem: Dakota, the woman who they brought back with them from the past, is on the run in the ship. Does she know of a new threat that our friends are not aware of yet? Or is she just running scared because she was pulled through a dimensional rift into a strange place with complete strangers? Val tries to be comforting, Henry bowls a perfect strike, and OSLO just wants to know what the hell is going on. As mentioned in the episode, here is a picture of the excellent hat that Henry now wears at all times: https://imgur.com/a/QMqO66j Featuring: Mikkel Sandberg (https://twitter.com/sikkelmandberg), Paula Chew, Peter Freeby (https://twitter.com/peterfreeby), and Weston Mangin.

Our friends finally get some answers about what is going on in the strange realm they find themselves in, and it proves to be darker and more perilous than they could have ever imagined. Henry is quite diplomatic and Val is decidedly undiplomatic. Like, lying-under-oath undiplomatic. Featuring: Mikkel Sandberg (https://twitter.com/sikkelmandberg), Peter Freeby (https://twitter.com/peterfreeby), and Weston Mangin.

The crew finds themselves in a bit of a pickle when the failed experiment takes them way, WAY into the past. But a new (potential) friend may be able to help them out. Val performs a PERFECT tackle, and Henry acquires a flashy new piece of equipment.

Our friends are back home, safe and sound, and they decide to have a crew meeting to decide the best course of action in order to safely investigate the “Book of Knowledge.” The players flesh out some more details around how The Exploration Department and the Aboleth operate, experimentation begins, and everything goes horribly wrong. Because, OF COURSE it does. Featuring: Mikkel Sandberg (https://twitter.com/sikkelmandberg), Peter Freeby (https://twitter.com/peterfreeby), and Weston Mangin.

It all hits the fan when the Aboleth starts hurtling toward the Elgin University’s gallery, where the controversial “Book of Knowledge" is on display. Can the crew stop this situation from going even more sideways?

The party continues to consult on the security systems at The Elgin University and make some intriguing discoveries. They also get into a lengthy discussion on the ethics of the services they are to offer, as well as what the scope of their assistance should be. It’s a bit much, to be honest. Featuring: Mikkel Sandberg (https://twitter.com/sikkelmandberg), Paula Chew, Peter Freeby (https://twitter.com/peterfreeby), and Weston Mangin.

The crew of the Aboleth sets out to inspect the security systems at The Elgin University. Val searches for escape routes, Henry chats up some of the security guards, and OSLO is grossed out by all the squishy, organic life.

Our friends receive an interesting request from Elgin, a nation on a distant planet: to inspect the security systems in the artifact gallery at The Elgin University and report on any vulnerabilities. Henry gets caught up in semantics, Val tries to be clever, and OSLO may or may not crush some hacky-sackers with the Aboleth; we’ll never really know.

Welcome to another bonus episode of Friend Quest! Peter wanted to introduce some new game mechanics included in the FATE system, so this is a conversation we had at the beginning of the session around this.

The crew gets the ship back under control after the major malfunction that caused the artificial gravity to fail and sets out to investigate the cause of the problem. However, what they find will put their teamwork and resolve to the test. OSLO is adamant that this whole thing was NOT her fault, Henry bullies an intern, and Val goes on an unexpected journey.

After recovering from the WORST vacation imaginable, the gang is back at it again on the Aboleth. But something goes awry in the library, forcing the crew to work together to save countless lives. Or, at least one life. Ok, more like preventing a sprained ankle. But that crap is no joking matter! All the paperwork you’d have to fill out; Henry knows all about that. Featuring: Mikkel Sandberg (https://twitter.com/mikkelhsandberg), Paula Chew, Peter Freeby (https://twitter.com/peterfreeby), and Weston Mangin.

The crew gets into a sticky situation while in the escape room and needs to make a daring escape; an unconscionable amount of hot butter is involved. Don’t worry, it’s worse than it sounds. Henry solves a mystery, Val is flabbergasted, and OSLO releases some hot butter for reasons beyond comprehension. Again, it’s a LOT worse than it sounds. Featuring: Mikkel Sandberg (https://twitter.com/mikkelhsandberg), Paula Chew, Peter Freeby (https://twitter.com/peterfreeby), and Weston Mangin.

Our friends finally get to take a break from traversing the unknown and having their lives threatened, and are given some much-needed shore leave. Unfortunately, the task of choosing where to go for this mini-vacation is left to Seamus, the hapless intern, who subsequently chooses to take the team to an escape room that his friend from school runs; no one is amused, but they go along with it anyway. Henry seeks a competitive advantage, OSLO gets zapped, and Val is a bit of a snob.
