Well I'll start with, I did not pay very much attention yesterday. Many possible reasons but I'll blame Spongebob Squarepants.
We recieved new marching orders, before that we encountered that friendly scion of Balder who seemed to be having issues with the SS. Well we all move on and we decide to take up and escort mission. We take a diplomat to Russia to sign a non-agression pact with Stalin. We come to find out that the diplomat, while be friendly, is a complete dunce. I also find out that unless the speak German, I don't have any way to communicate. I actively try not to listen to the conversation so that my character does not know (this upset Ben and I'm sorry). The others made contact with Rasputin (this old fart has been in every Scion game that Ben runs) and he would like to have a look at what ever the Russians are using to remove unwanted individuals. With a little mystic mumbo jumbo we find out that the Russian and the Germans are using Shades to removed opposition in the dead of night, leaving no trace. A Mr. Moltav, who is what could be described as Stalins right hand, is found out to not only have half a dozen with him in the Krimlin but also to control thousands through out Russian soil. Even though it was very far over my characters head, I honestly have no idea what we are to do. Should we disrupt another government, which we were explicitly told not to do, or should be make nice with another scion of an unknown god.
While I know a little bit more than my character, Nicoli is the the complete dark about what is going on. The three other band mates have the ability to understand any language that is spoken to them. Nic, well, he is not the smartest one in the bunch and I really had no intentions of making him any other way until a certain point. I'm suppose to be the social one, so I am going to have to be able to speak to anyone we come in contact with so it looks like I will be purchasing that now instead of later.
