Emissary Lost: Who the h..l is Anou the Eunuch?

Thu 21 Nov 2024, 15:57

Gamamastering Emissary Lost. We are about to reach Souk Habra in our tenth game. The whole campaign will take us still maybe 18 months with the current rate. Even if the structure of the book is not ideal, I like the stories that it has. Good stuff.

But I am now a bit stuck with the upcoming events.

I am VERY confused about the Hassam office location and what happened there.
There is an old seer outside who disappears into the crowd (with reference to "Order's agent" box which is nowhere to be found). I assume this was Ataia.
Then inside "Anou the eunuch lies motionless on a bloody rug" Who? No reference to him anywhere. Is he dead? Assumed to be so.
Further on, "PCs find bloody Niobe". Is she dead? Maybe.

I just utterly hate when books don't spell it out to GMs what happened.
One sentence of text would be enough to state that Ataia strikes and kills Niobe and her assistant. I assume that is what happened.

BTW, is there an errata for Emissary Lost?

Hi!

Had to do some Coriolis archeology here, trying to answer your questions.

Regarding the location of the Hassam office, it is not more described than on page 127. We didn't make a map of Little Algol.

Anou is Niobe bodyguard, (this fact seems to have disappeared) and is dead. Niobe is also dead, and there is a reference as to turning over her body – maybe it could be clearer.

You are correct that the seer is the assassin, Ataia –but the box is missing, but it said that the PC could hear the seers accent was zalosian and they might discern an accelerator pistol under her dress.

Unfortunately there is no erata to the Emissary. Still, we hope you will enjoy the rest of the campaign :)

Sincerely,
Kosta
