The last session of Apocalypse World was session six and, man, did shit get interesting.
Proust and his gang came back from the wastes will medical supplies to trade to the caravan from Criner's hardhold. On the way through the market he ran into Roof who let him know that any supplies that could make it to Fleece's gang would be much appreciated. In an effort to maintain good will all around, Proust traded half to the caravan and kept half (turning down the offer of some slaves!) to trade to Fleece. When he got to her tent, Fleece called him out on his dealings with Sorrow and questioned how she could trust him. Proust put on his charms and the two got cozy.
And what of Ozair? He went to check on the fusion engine he fixed up for Jacka Backa and made plans to keep the barter rolling in. An engine needs maintanance to run proper after all, and what good is an engine without a car? Or perhaps a train? Jacka Backa is dreaming big and who knows what he and the Savvyhead will get up to.
Ozair had more on his mind than just engines though. His young assistant had found water out in the wastes and he put plans in motion to collect a team to go and scout out the situation. But even before that is the puzzling situation of the assistant herself. Lemma had wandered back to Long Neck at the height of the battle with the Turtle-backs while the electro-fire storm raged through the town. At the end, she was sound physically but her mind was changed and stripped of its defenses. Sounds like a situation where a Brainer could be useful. Perhaps after Lemma is finished making out with Baa, the Turtle-back Ozair rescued.
And speaking of Iris, she was busy taking precaution against Sorrow's Children who have been becoming increasingly violent towards her. Fleece was willing to trade armor and a rifle from their stockpile. The gun's owner was initially upset to part with such a fine weapon, but some but with a little flirtation Norville even agreed to provide some private lessons that night.
Eventually the paths of these three crossed and it all began with with an explosion. Sorrow's Children were getting fighty amongst themselves when a nearby train car went flying in pieces with a thundering bang. What could have caused it? Dremer, the angry one-eyed bastard, assembled some of the Children that were still standing and decided that whoever it was, they were gonna pay. Ozair showed up and tried to diffuse the situation which ended with Dremer marching on Fleece's encampment with Ozair tending to the wounded from the explosion. As he did so, the effects from psychadelics that the Children use began to creep into Ozair's mind and sent him into a hallucinatory rage. When Ozair came to, he was in his workshop standing over a bloodied Baa. Uh oh. Better take Lemma off to see Iris.
Dremer's folks had meanwhile made their way to Fleece's camp and had a stand-off going on. Dremer had his gun trained on a weaponless Norville and the rest of Fleece's gang had their weapons pointed at the Children. Iris had been making her way to Fleece's camp while avoiding the Children, and upon seeing Norville in danger, used her abilities to cause Dremer to drop his weapon. Then Fleece's gang opened fire and dropped them all to the dust.
Proust poked his head out from Fleece's tent and after some debate, Fleece and her gang grabbed their weapons and started off to retaliate against Sorrow's Children. As Proust marched off with one of Fleece's units, Iris headed back to her cave to wait in safety until Fleece needed her assistance. On the way there, she took a bullet to the side.
Instead of bleeding to death, Iris was healed by Ozair. But then the maelstrom got involved and now they can't see colour. What? And as it turns out, Lemma is definitely messed up in the head. Why? Not even the Brainer could figure that one out entirely.
-That all took too way long to summarize. If I left out anything I apologize and feel free to add it in.
