Ghosts on a Train

The employees of the Imperial Railways cannot afford to be discerning about the freight they carry or passengers they transport. Loaded with lightning oil, the Pride of Duskwall heads towards Wintercliff while the gang of Line Bulls deal with the demands of their customers. Issues from inside the train might distract from the dangers outside. Andrel spots a familiar face. Drix reads the good book. Pippin helps Trevor out in the locomotive. Ghost Lines by John Harper. Music by Sebastian Black...

The abandoned north railroad splits off between Duskwall and Wintercliff, leaving Akoros as it skirts across the surface of the Void Sea. The Imperial Railways are meant to connect the Imperium yet this track leads beyond the Immortal Emperor's sovereignty, where an unfamiliar train meets a grisly fate. Meanwhile, the Pride of Duskwall prepares to leave Wintercliff with a new train car. Drix has an unexpected reunion. Andrel shares a conspiracy theory. Pippin's still got it. https://secure...

A Line Bull's primary job is to clear ghosts that are entangled in the electric field of a moving locomotive, focusing on keeping ghosts away while the train moves to the next lightning barrier. The casualty rate increases whenever Line Bulls must guard a stopped train, as the time it takes to escape could mean life or death. Who may be at risk when the Pride of Duskwall stops at the behest of a natural philosopher? Andrel gets suspicious. Drix learns to never meet your heroes...

Line Bulls fight ghosts, but only on rare occasions do they seek out and hunt them. Much of a Line Bull's job is simply to protect a train's passengers and freight long enough for it to be out of danger. As the Pride of Duskwall passes through Ravencourt, what can the Line Bulls do against a supernatural effect with no apparent source? Pippin fancies himself a philosopher. Andrel's suspicions reach their peak. Drix bites off more than he can chew. Camilla's dark secrets are revealed...

The consequences of Camilla Wester's ill-fated journey on the Iron Mare have come to the Pride of Duskwall, endangering all aboard; but should Camilla alone shoulder this blame? In special guest Yoshiko's last appearance (for now?) the Line Bulls grapple with loyalties. Andrel gives her trust. Pippin dabs. Drix hardly recognizes his friend. Camilla cannot help but be who she is now...

After saying goodbye to Camilla Wester, the Line Bulls finally have a chance to step off the Pride of Duskwall and enjoy some Downtime in Southpoint. All of the Bulls are physically and emotionally exhausted, but how long of a break they'll get is yet to be seen. Andrel finds a new conspiracy to unravel. Drix goes fishing. Pippin throttles some rats. https://secure.actblue...

The locomotives of the Imperial Railways go where they are needed, carrying whatever passengers and freight are currently in demand with a not insignificant weight given to payment. Line Bulls who can curry Favor in high places can indirectly leverage that influence and change their train's assignment, as Pippin Mckeel has in order to avoid a return to the Imperial City. Pippin is prickly to some newcomers. Andrel takes a moment to be thankful. Drix has a transformation sequence...

To encounter a ghost, especially in the deathlands, is to enter a story that long since should have ended. The actions of these spirits are inexplicable to anyone from the present, as the longer a ghosts exists the further it's mind is unraveled. So the Pride of Duskwall must contend with spirits that burn with enmity that is undeserved but must be faced regardless. Drix is the center of a love triangle. Andrel finds out what's really going on here. Pippin saves the day with panache and flare...
