The Lost Continent of Lemuria is returning to the World and bringing with it storms and tidal waves that threaten to destroy or devastate thousands of miles of Pacific coastline in Asia, Oceania and the Americas. What might be even worse for the world is the Mad Empress who wants to use her army of undead Muons to regain the Lemurian Throne. What horrors could she unleash from the ancient cities of Lemuria? What unknown marvels do the ruins of that empire hold?
Our Heroes are going to find out as they race towards the Palace of Ninety Trillion Pearls to stop the Mad Empress, who has possessed the body of their friend Izzy, before she can bring her plans to fruition. In their way stand the Cake of Lies, the Flowers of Discontentment and the Birds That Sing Songs of Doom. Along with an army of death and metal, the ancient Muons who serve the Mad Empress.
The Band has already defeated the Deadly Butterflies of Agony, but more challenges await!

How Time Flies
The very first session of Lost Atlanta was one June 1st, 2011. In about a month, we'll be bitting the one-year anniversary of the chronicle. That's a fairly impressive benchmark as far as my games go. The player roster changes from time to time, and the character roster changes faster than that. The story, though, marches on.
What has the Band done in a year? They've defeated a corrupted Scion who helped the Titans kidnap the Goddess Nemesis. They accidentally unleashed an Avatar of Death, resulting in the transformation of Roanoke Island into a wasteland populated only by the undead. They saved Mexico City from a similar fate by foiling a Camazotz ritual that would have unleashed a second Avatar. They travelled to the Slavic Underworld to return a friend to life, only to find Buyan under attack by armies of specters. While there, they defeated Koschei the Deathless forever, saving the ghosts of the Underworld from his malice. They've faced down the Dodekatheon to win freedom for one of their Bandmates when he was found collaborating with a Titan (he had good intentions).
What are they doing now? Now they've travelled to the Lost Continent of Lemuria to prevent it from destroying most of the coast and islands near the Pacific Ocean when it re-appears in the World and save their former ally Itzel from the grips of an evil Empress bent on regaining control of the Lemurian Empire.

Results of the Trial
Well, things were close there for a while. Marti bribed Ares into swapping his vote and Athena came up with a compromise that got Apollo and Artemis to agree. Finally the Dodekatheon decided not to throw Garreth into Tartarus, just to arrange things so that if he works with the Titans again, he'll instantly die.
More problems resulted from the bribery than the trial itself. Marti's bribe to Ares was starting a civil war in North Korea, dedicated to the War God. The rest of the Band, including Garreth, took exception to the callous decision and a big fight broke out.
As a result of that and the on-going tension between Boris, Johnny and Marti, Marti will be leaving the Band. His replacement (since his player isn't going anywhere, we like him) is going to be a Polynesian Surfer God. We'll see how he works out, but he seems like far less of an abrasive dick than Marti. Should be fun!
Randall is still settling in and getting used to everyone, as well as letting people (Boris) get used to him. It's an on-going process.

This could go so wrong in so many ways.
Like, this could go wrong is so many ways.
First off, Ares is going to try to embarrass Johnny into oblivion by flaunting what he did to him in front of the big twelve. Because of this, Marti may just try to force Johnny to step down, and stay home. Something that I am not super excited about, but if Marti can convince Johnny of it, I am ok with it. Although if Marti decides to use powers against Johnny to force him to stay home, someone will end up dead.
Second, I am guessing we, right off the bat, have three votes against us. Although A thinks I am wrong with these, so take it all with a grain of salt. I believe there is no way in hell we are getting Ares to vote for us, no way in hell we are getting Artemis to vote for us, and either Zeus or Hera will vote against us because they can never take the same side on jack shit.

The Trial of the Century
Everyone is getting ready for Garreth's trial. I don't know that it's really going to be so much of a "trial" as just trying to convince enough Gods not to kill him. There aren't laws or anything and there's no objecting when people get out of line.
This is really gunna test the social characters to see what they can do. Oh, and Garreth of course, to see if he can bend far enough to make his Pantheon think he's more than just a crazy, dangerous lunatic.
Now, some of you may be asking: Did I push Garreth into this situation to punish him? No. Not really. I did push him into this situation to force some growth, though. He's set himself up in an incredibly vulnerable position. He doesn't have any allies among his Pantheon. None of the Dodekatheon have any reason to like him that much, since he thinks very lowly of them and makes no secret of it.
