ICON Ruin Runners Chapter 1 Episode 2: The Armor is Good, The Skeleton is Evil

Meriday: a beautiful coastal city, currently pincered between a massive Arken ruin spewing monsters at it and the imperial army occupying it to harvest its treasures. Our heroes infiltrate the Blue Crown forces to try and beat the empire to the Lunar Tear Ore and other assorted rare goodies, but...well, it turns out they're looking for something else. Something older. Or...perhaps...someone? Perhaps related to that talking eyeball from last time?

In confronting the imperial forces, Andre unlocks the edgelord secret technique of really angry ranting! Zaffir becomes the GM's worst nightmare by breaking positioning setups in tactical combat! Mantrax makes a new friend with a lot of baggage! The empire, in a shocking twist, turns out to be evil! Both the old one and the new one! Also, crunchy combat, at long last!

This is an Actual Play of ICON, via its pre-release 1.5 version. You can check it out here, for free!
