The wind of the Beyond echoed in our party's ears and the house itself seemed to stretch into eternity. The pig things made thier way back into the house and down to the cellar. We gave chase! We made our way following on the heels of the pig thing humanoids deep into the cellar of the house. And we found a tunnel dug in the celler of the house and we were ahead of the curb. We killed three of the pig things after they took out one of our number.
This session picks up after last week's session here on the blog.
We had no choice but to go forward! The pig things sent two crossbow bolts our way! We dodged outta of the way and sent several bullets thier way.
We continued on as burnt oil smells and screams assaulted our ears. We kept going with flash lights lit.
The roof was supported by timber & weird metal rapports supporting the Earthen works. And then the group came across an outlet tunnel. And they came face to face with a huge system of gears, pulleys, etc. all being run by the pig things. These monsters were not happy to see the group and they began to give chase especially as the party saw who or what was cooking in the large copper pots below in some of the gas works!
The party began to run and run swiftly away as more cross bow bolts and spears whistled past thier ears.
The party noticed that the tunnels were slopping upward and followed the tunnels as sulferous air assaulted thier nostrals. Finally after what seemed like miles they came to the opening on the surface. The red hazed skies were rife with demonic forms that flapped lazily and around the party was a plethora of burnt out wreckage of what once must have been vehicles of some type at one point. The landscape was a ruin filled with the wrecks of ancient times. Before the party even had time to catch thier breaths they heard the bronze on pavement of the hell horse's hooves. Then the demonic laughter of the hell maidens who were tormenting some poor soul. They sighted the party from the backs of the hell horse (hellhorse from the creature codex here).

The party opened up with thier guns towards the hell maidens and did absolutely nothing to the maidens. They laughed at the party and began taking off after the party. We ended here.
The Darker rpg is easy to convert over the original Arduin rpg material because the Red Rpg system is OSR.
Darker has some solid bones that pulls deeply from it's OSR system. Darker does away with the PC classes rpg levels. And the Red rpg system has a high value combat system that is fast and reliable.
The Darker rpg has a fast magic system and takes it's 'P's & 'Q''s from a third generation OSR system. This means that the players can get on with play. This makes the Darker rpg go that much quicker.
The Darker rpg is not an rpg that tries to get away from it's mature themes and material. Instead it embraces it.
