Operation MAELSTROM 12a Take Me Back To Dear Old Blighty Part 2 Behind the Scenes

Herein are secrets. Read no further players of mine or anyone who wants to maintain the mystery.

Spoiler:
Normally our games are pretty light hearted affairs for much of the time with plenty of banter and ooc wisecracks. Things tighten up when things get exciting or if the players really get stuck into a problem but generally this is a pretty natural occurrence. However, for the first time I actually got strict about no ooc comments or discussion and insisted on roleplaying, specifically for

Operation MAELSTROM 12 Take Me Back To Dear Old Blighty Part 2

Agents Peter, Pascal and Patrick awaken to find themselves in a non-descript room facing a large, wall sized mirror. They are dressed in nothing but hospital robes and are handcuffed to chairs bolted to the floor. After a while a man in a dark suit and a guard in fatigues and carrying an L85 assault rifle enter the room. The guard stands by the door whilst the man in the suit walks past the agents. Agent Peter makes a crack and the man in the suit pulls out a short black tube from inside his jacket

This means that there some clues I wanted

The agents finish reading the journal just before Agent Cyrus calls. They attempt to explain what has happened but he ends up collecting it for himself, telling them to get some room service and some sleep. The following morning they are awoken early by Caleb who asks them to join him at the airport. In a diner, he explains that he wants them to travel to the UK and perform reconnaissance on the chamber with the crystal and the statue, either from the Draig Ceg end or from the minehead at Eglwyollen.

After the slight disappointment of last session, this week went really well. The players seemed to be much more engaged with the game and I think they all enjoyed the slightly pulpier tone. They also all loved the opportunity to roleplay increasingly unstable characters with everyone getting in on the action. Johannes really took advantage of the situation, with the campaign’s first Keeper-to-player
