Session 1
In this session all four characters were introduced to Amber.
In the end we were all in Castle Amber, sitting before King
Random with "a lot of explaining to do."
Scene 1 - Simon - Fallingham
After many straight days of research, Simon decides to grab a drink
before he finally hits the sack. He meets up with Jerry and offers
to buy him a drink. While at the pub the town falls under attack.
Simon retires to the second floor of the wellhouse to watch over the proceedings,
but is soon pulled into the confrontation when Aurthur calls for him.
Simon floats above the troops, assesses the situation, orders his cavalry
to retreat, and engages the sorceror Korvan in combat on
a flying Dias. Simon knocks Korvan off the Dias and returns to Aurthur.
The cavalry is forced to do battle with Korvan's dark creature troops. The
cavalry wins, but takes heavier than normal losses. Jerry is among the dead.
Aurthur insists on having Korvan's head and dispatches Simon, who takes
Caliburn, to go finish Korvan.
Korvan retreats to Chaos using Logrus, with Simon in pursuit on horseback.
Simon follows Korvan, but cannot catch up to him all the way until Korvan reaches
a cliff, where he stops. Simon informs Korvan that he no longer wants to chop
his head off, but Korvan is not of the same mind. He tries to use Logrus to
kill Simon. He only succeeds in knocking Simon out before he is pushed off the
cliff by Mirlin.
Jessica comes into the game in the forth quarter. Her fumble recovery, which
she runs back for a touchdown turns the tide and the Bears beat the Ravens.
She gets a call from her sister the next day.

Locke and his band of vampire hunters arrive at a huge stone temple in
the swamps outside Baton Rouge. Removing his Orachulka ring, he goes into Ka
vision and senses that the temple is rich with Moon, Water, and Earth Ka.
They encounter no resistance upon entering
temple. Locke sends one group in as a distration while he leads the other group.
The two groups meet at a lerge central hall where they are faced with a stairway
leading to some sort of portal. They carefully ascend the stairway. Locke peers
through the portal to see some sort of vampiristic ritual. He and his men charge
through the portal and attack the vampires. Locke himself takes on the leader
of the ritual, dodging an axe blow, stabbing him through the skull,
and lopping off his head, but not before
the vampire is able to smear his blood on the book he was reading from and complete
the ritual in some fashion. A whirlwind appears above the book and becomes a
growing tsunami despite Locke's efforts to close the book. The whirlwind sucks in
vampire and human alike until only the mighty Locke is left. Backing into the corner,
Locke decides his only course of action is to dive into the storm.
The whirlwind transports Locke to Amber at propels him toward a deep green ocean
with such force that even though he executes a perfect dive he is still knocked
unconcious.
Over the span of weeks Connie has a number of dreams in which he is
falling and is either caught by or slips from the grasp of a mysterious
man. Eventually he meets this man who reveals himself to be named
Luke and claims to be her father. He transports them both to Amber.

Deep below the surface and out of air, Locke races to try to reach the surface.
his attempt is in vain. However he is able to breathe the water. He notices a
layer of water above him which appears to change hue drastically. Believing this
to be a point from which he can no longer breathe the water, and judging that
he could not make it to the surface, he decides to check out the lights he sees
below him. On his descent he is met by a woman with green hair who is standing
in a bubble. She introduces herself as Llewella and tells him that he is one
of her nephews and a Prince of Amber. She invites him into the bubble. The two of
them discuss Amber and Rebma, but Llewella is stumped by many philosophical question
that Locke poses. Right as Locke asks speak to the queen of Rebma Llewella receives
a trump call. She decides to take Locke to see Gerard and they Trump travel to

quickly loses interest. Gerard, Lewella, and Locke Trump travel to Castle

Korvan's Logrus attack. Mirlin is amused to hear that Simon is going by the
name Myrlyn. Simon asks Mirlin's permission to cast a harmless spell. Mirlin
agrees on the condition that it will not interfere with his warding spells.
Simon casts a spell that allows him delve into Mirlin's motives. Satisfied,
Simon asks Mirlin several questions. He says that Simon is probably a nephew
of his. He explains Logrus, Pattern, and Choas to Simon without going
into much detail and then Trump calls Bleys who arrives. Bleys introduces
himself to Simon. Bleys also explains Logrus and Pattern, saying that Simon will
be defenseless against Logrus attacks until he walks the pattern.
