[Little Fears] Camp Awesome

Intro: Little Fears is a game about children that must overcome their own fears.  The monsters are real and feed off ignorance and fear.  Only the magic of innocence can stop them.  Children can see the monsters but adults cannot.   This game was played at Concarolinas in May of 2014 and was quite fun.  It was run by the South Carolina gaming group SCARAB.

Timmy thought he was batman.  He was the ultimate fan boy and loved horror movies.  His batcape let him think he could fly.  Then his parents sent him to this stupid camp where they took all his stuff.  His mother took even more of his stuff.  Didn't they know Batman was always prepared? He still had some stuff though like his +5 Backpack of Shielding and his BATCAPE.

Bully, Crafty Kid and Small Kid were all in a cabin with him.  Timmy went to the nature center with crafty kid and looked for supernatural entities threatening the camp.  He found a neat game where he beat bad guys.  Dinner happened.  Then they told scary ghost stories.  One scary story was about a monster that was in the lake that ate naughty children.  The little kids screamed.

Bully thought it was a neat idea for for everyone to go an harass the girls, including Cute Kid and All Star.  They went to the camp to scare people.  Timmy went with them because he knew horror movies and this was clearly a horrible idea.  On the way back, there was a rustling noise.  Everyone ran but Timmy,who had a piece of paper on which he had drawn the elder sign.

Timmy wasn't afraid!  He went after the rustling.  And he was NEVER SEEN AGAIN.

Actually, the GM was kind enough to let me leave early, since Julia and I had other plans at the con but those ended early and she was nice enough to let me rejoin the game.

Stuff happened that didn't involve Timmy so how important could it be?  Next he knows, someone has given him chocolate, and he wakes up in the Nurse's station.  Turns out the nurse is putting people to sleep with these pink pills and putting slug creatures in their throats! Yuck!  Upon seeing the slug creature, Timmy temporarily made a strategic retreat very fast to the dining room.  After calming down, he came back.

The others had found a whole aquarium full of these things and was fighting/killing them.  Timmy loaded up a super soaker full of rubbing alcohol and went to town.  Meanwhile, by the docks, the bully and sweetheart had lured the nurse where they tied her up and put her in the boatshed.  Things seemed fine but then the sweetheart was taken by the nurse!

Instead of doing the smart thing, they got in canoes and followed her across the lake.  They saw the nurse had turned into a giant octopus thing.  There were infected cultists, sweetheart was among them.  They freed sweetheart and attacked the giant octopus thing with innocence magic.  Timmy's supersoaker full of alcohol didn't work too well until Crafty Kid set it on fire.  Dead octopus thing.

The next morning, the adults explained it away as a gas leak and bad food.  Timmy knew better.  Batman had prevailed yet again!
