About

Magnus is a human veteran commander from the Empire with many friends (and enemies) in the Imperial Core, but he disagrees with the overall direction of the Imperial Core. While he's retired from his military service, he's moved into work as an adventurer and mercenary to gather wealth and renown while helping others. He's middle aged, quick, and scarred from many battles. He's quick to form bonds with anyone he goes into dangerous situations with.

Magnus had some rough times when he transitioned to private life, and Branna and the Two Silver Tavern helped him significantly with that. He's recently returned to Bastion on the ArcRail, and he's looking for work and ways to help others.

Break of Dawn needs help, Order Plane takeover

Jan 15, 2026
GM:
Mystic

Accepted a job from the Forgemaster to clear out corruption in the Break of Dawn ship.
Explored the ship, asked around if anyone had seen the corruption first hand.
Discussed among the group, and decided to tackle the boiler room first, followed by the core, followed by the engine room. Reasoning was that the engine or core would be the riskiest, so we would see how the events turned out in the boiler room first.
Opted to use a combination of magical means to weaken the corruption in the boiler room, and Magnus attempted to convince the corruption to stop being corrupted.
Things were going great, lots of perfects!
Eventually managed to get the first blob of golden corruption off of the boiler, which attempted to escape. Brok attacked it and grabbed ahold of it, while Magnus captured it in a bag (spent story to establish that the bag was a bladder from some sea creature that had a mediocre enchantment on it to make it a suitable container).
Moved to the core next. It was almost entirely golden, with ether tubes. While we examined it, golden eggs formed, and Brok damaged one to prevent it from forming. Other eggs still managed to form several golden spawn however.
Combat broke out. Rohan used his patron’s chains, Magnus shot arrows, and Brok smashed. Alan focused on the core to try and disable it.
Things were getting worse, we had several more messies and grims, and rohan’s corruption pool escalated, but we managed to take out the golden creatures and neutralize the corruption on the core. Alan also used an arcana to heal a mark on Magnus.
The final room was the engine room. We discovered that corruption was spreading into the forest below it due to choosing it as the final room.
In a high risk, high reward moment, Rohan used his Spelleater talent to neutralize the corruption in the engine room in a single roll.
Having wrapped up the three sources of corruption (we discussed Magnus handing the bag with the golden parasite in it to Brok), we made our way back to the ship deck so that we could return to the guild.
The corruption in the forest sprang to life as flying golden horrors.
We had outside assistance from the crew on all rolls, but things went badly at first with the crew getting significantly harmed at the start of combat (8d → 2d)
Things were much more dire this time around. Lots of messies, grims, and disasters…
However, we did manage to make steady progress on the golden horrors between a cannon shot from Brok, Magnus commanding the crew (2d → 4d), Rohan’s chains, and Alan improving and repairing the cannons.
We managed to finally end the last of the golden horrors, but there were consequences: Corruption 1 emptied for Alan and Brok, Corruption 2 emptied for Magnus and Rohan
