Just over a year ago, something happened on the Gossamer world
of Fierce, when a group of cybernetically
enhanced soldiers, infused with the power of the Eidolon, started attacking the
city near its Door and all the local residents. Sato-sama The Blue Widow, an
agent of one of the Gossamer Lords, was returning home along the Grand Stair
from the Nightmare Kingdom. Sato-sama volunteered to help the relief efforts
leading a group of Gossamer agents, and then deserted when ordered by
her lord to abandon the world and its refugees.
Robotic mecha security forces Sato-sama commandeered and the
enhanced soldiers waged a brutal battle, leaving the latter in possession of
the Door. Sato-sama activated a martial law protocol in the Security Mechs, and
struggled to maintain order amid a never-ending war with the enhanced soldiers,
and the dwindling resources of the inhabitants. The last communication from
Sato-sama stated that she was attempting to lead survivors out of the
world to the Grand Stair. The group never arrived, and soon afterwards the Gossamer
Lords declared Fierce, forbidden, its
door sealed. Her Gossamer Lord then publicly disavowed Sato-sama as a renegade
and a traitor. All went quite, and uses
of Sato-sama’s icon revealed nothing, leading many to believe she is dead.
Yesterday, a signal came from Sato-sama’s icon. Its message
was brief; “This is Sato-sama, The Blue Widow. Attempted evacuation of Fierce
ended in complete failure. The butcher’s bill is too damn high.”
Sato-Sama’s Gossamer Lord has decided to send in a group of
agents (The PCs), and so begins the adventure No
Beast, So Fierce.
