Bughouse

Bughouse was run from July 12th 2012 to August 16th 2012 by Chris. It focused on the Chess Pieces. It was also the first use of Earworm 2.0, which worked almost perfectly.

The Preserves Empire was first mentioned in this game.

Plot
Deep of the Queen's Gambit invites the PCs on board for the maiden voyage of the cruise ship. While on board, the PCs are entertained by the Tarrasch twins in a magic show, only to be interrupted when the apparent corpse of captain Deep spills out of one of their tricks. As it turns out, the captain had just decided to spice things up a little bit and created a fake murder mystery. After solving the improptu puzzle, the PCs go their seperate ways, only to all die horribly in an explosion in the night.

The explosion sends the PCs to Four Knights, a sister ship traveling within the scales, whereupon first visit the ship is mysteriously empty. Several of the PCs decide that jumping into the black abyss surronding them is better than staying on board and jump overboard to see what happens. Some of the other PCs remain on board, only to be ambushed by Rake Harwitz and slain.

Although seemingly killed again, the PCs are returned to the Queen's Gambit, where they realize they can stop their own deaths if they can disable the bomb that killed them the first time.
