# Shadows of the Past
> I started by rolling for my two cyphers, disguise module and heat attack.
Cyne crawls through the muddy ditch, rain beating on his cloak and furthering the miserable conditions he finds himself
in, attempting to evade the local guard searching for him. His previous attempts to slip into the library in plain sight
having failed, his next plan was to attempt a night infiltration, where he now finds himself ducking from alley to
alley, hiding in ditches, and the like, until he can no longer hear the guards. He must give them every sense that what
they saw was just an errant townsperson, or perhaps a figment of their imagination, before he can continue.
> The guard is decent but not amazing, I figure, so let's call them level 3, but it's dark and rainy, and Cyne is
> trained in sneaking, so eased two steps...

> 1d20 = 2; **failure**

> welp
The guard, three of them in the immediate area, find Cyne, who pulls himself out of the muck while he is surrounded,
raising his arms slightly, in a somewhat insincere surrender. *What is my move here?* he wonders. *There's always
lying...*
"Just on my way home," Cyne somewhat awkwardly sputters, definitely not prepared with a practiced lie.
> D3 Intellect task, hindered one: 1d20 = 11; **failure**
The guards are not buying it, and begin to close in.

# Cyne Valbrook
Cyne Valbrook is an intelligent and exiled spellsword [warrior flavored with magic] who wields an enchanted weapon. Once
the ward of the headmaster of prominent military college in the city of Dirge, his interest in the arcane and eventual
melding of forbidden disciplines led to his expulsion. Since that time, he has struck out on his own.

# A Storm Invited
A solo Cypher System game by bss, set in the fantasy world of Yacsra.
## Characters
Being a solo campaign, there is currently only one principal character, [Cyne Valbrook](cyne).
## Session Logs/Chapters
Some style notes, my plan is to alternate between two voices and formats.
Normally-formatted text, such as this paragraph, is written in present tense, as if I was narrating GM or player
thoughts live in the course of play. Since I'm both, at the same time, there will probably be no meaningful distinction
between these two roles in the narration. Present tense just feels more natural to me for this right now, but maybe
that'll shift over time.
> Inset text, such as this, will be more about system decisions, dice rolls, asides and commentary, and so on.
> Probably far less structured here.
As such, the chapters will probably be a mix of session log and narrative prose.
