After a good night’s sleep in the Rimvang Hostel we had to start making plans for our first week in Laos. We had seen an obvious place to visit next to the night market: the Luang Prabang National Museum.
Conquest and War with Brise
After our victorious battle with the Dust Guardian, our empire flourished. Our armies swelled in number and new cities were built on the bones of those we conquered. As our territories expanded we encroached on lands owned by other empires. And none of them are welcoming.
The Amazing Hummingbird Moth
One night in Siem Reap I saw what I thought was a hummingbird buzzing around some flowers. I got close to it and it was a strange sight. It zipped from flower to flower, its wings humming like a small bird.
Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
Through the Undead Plains
An encounter with a halfling trickster has made Aegon question his ability to make decisions, and whether he should continue to lead the Troupe. They are now travelling through rocky plains soaked in the blood of a Celestial that saved humanity, continuing on their way to the Firewine Bridge Ruins.
Luang Prabang Night Market
After two long days travelling by slow boat on the steady current of the Mekong River, we were ready to plant our feet in Luang Prabang. Its promise of street markets and quiet charm would be a welcome change.
Colossal Danger of Skoros
Our scout troops explored the wrong ruins and unleashed a beast upon the land. A colossal glowing beast, fuelled by Dust. A Guardian angered by our consumption of the Dust that fuels our civilisation.
Handling and Preventing Errors
Mistakes are an inevitable part of coding, and debugging is where the real problem-solving begins. This will inevitably lead to bugs. When you notice a bug you will, of course, spend some time figuring out what went wrong. There are two ways to tackle these bugs: detection and prevention.
Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
The Celestial’s Sacrifice
On their way to the Firewine Bridge Ruins, the Troupe found a cave haunted by the ghost of Torqion. Aegon promised to obtain a “Vampiric Sword” to free the ghost from its curse. They now continue on their way to the Ruins, seeking treasures and curses alike.
