So, what would happen if Steeple cast A Curse Upon Thy House at Kiril, then went and buried himself in Gutka's lair, until everything blew over?

Ugh. Still doing the long day stuff (though I have managed to whittle it down to 12 hours a day). They hired a guy so I could move positions, but he quit after only three days. If this draws out much longer I may have to begin looking for employment elsewhere.

Well, that didn't work.
I have to admit, I'm now leaning more towards shelving this game, due to some extra work I picked up and having bad writers block.
The only free time I really have is weekends and all I do with them now is sleep to recover from the longer work week.
At times, this game has just rolled off my imagination, but right now I'm just stuck.

"I don't see any further fighting," Stepple observes.
"That means the battle is over. I do hope we get a rematch though, that shadow trick was just plain cheating!"
"Ah well, let's head back and preapare to sneak out of the country, if things have not gone our way."

Well, as it was late and I didn't want the ER visit/bill, I waited till morning to see what it was going to do.
Got a large blister over a red area. Looks pretty much like a second degree burn, so I think I'm good.
I'll watch for infection or if it turns black, then I'll hit up the professionals

Hmm... It seems I have freeze-dried a part of my thumb, when a faulty propane valve sprayed liquid propane across it. Right now, it's like a one and a halfinch length of leather on my thumb, rather than skin. I imagine it will blister up at some point like a burn.

With nothing better to go on, the disciples plied their various visions through the scrying window to scrutinize the area where the road ended in the glade.
There wasn't anything unusual about it, until Robor looked with spirit and could tell that someone had a keyed spirit road at the end of the drive - meaning the limo must have just driven off the pavement and right into twilight or the shadow?!?
What, did they have a time share on that side or something?
UsdiYona meanwhile, could swear that she smelled Sarapheen's scent through the scrying window, though that brought up some rather curious metaphysical questions of how that would even be possible. Peering across the veil - through the window - she saw a leather sling cord hanging from a gnarled post in twilight. Below the sling were three silver sling bullets.
"That's Sarapheen's belt!" She exclaimed - "The one she wears around her waist! And some little ballee things that are also hers!"
By this time, the disciples had been up all night, and the morning news was just coming on TV. The news flash caught Emend's attention.
"The bodies of four female students, from Georgetown University, were found on campus early this morning in what appears to be some sort of pagan sacrifice ritual. The bodies were discovered in the basement storage area of the university's Archeology Department, in a pentagram circle with burnt candles. They appeared to have been drained of all blood. The cause of death and loss of blood has not yet been explained, though a campus maintenance worker told our reporters that when they found them, they had raised welts on their bodies that reminded him of the marks a giant octopus' suction cups might cause.
In another bizarre blood-related story, a local restaurant's bathroom was literally flooded in human blood last night. Investigators are baffled by both cases...

« on: December 28, 2018, 05:33:04 pm »In a last ditch effort to find out anything, Killer scries out the golf course and its maintenance facility to see if he finds anything related to the limo or the witches or the supernatural in general, even something as small as a relation to Blume and Blumenthal - with fairly low hopes of success. If he doesn’t find anything he’ll sigh, shrug and say he gives up on following this lead.
Scrying out the area reveals nothing, though the road does lead past the golf course and dead ends in a wood surrounded glade. Where the pavement ends, some disturbed gravel and worn ruts in the grass indicates that vehicles do occasionally drive off the road and into the glade.
No sign of the limo though - or anyone else about.

"Yes, you may have a point about the bastard's foul blood," Steeple replies to Maximus. "I would not want to taint such a magnificent weapon with such gross impurities."
"As for Kiril, until it is proven his conspiracy in this, his station is still to be respected."
"We will deal with Barabus later. For now, we need to find Heldrick. When we get to were you saw him last, I'll track him to see where they went."

"Vengeance. Will be. OURS!" Steeple growls, in affermation of his Prince.
He then teleports to his son, hoping the shadow does not follow and carefully carves away at the tendrils holding Maximus.
"Regenerate your wounds, son!"
(Max out dex to avoid carving Maximus, slide blade into tendrils with flat against Maximus, then turn edge out to slice away from skin.)

While the plates of the limo were obscured, the limo itself was easy enough to find on various camera systems across the city - it being the fancy enough in its own right (and the fact that its plates seemed magically hidden in every view of it).
After spending about three hours following the electronic trail of bread crumbs, Emend finally lost it, in Hyattstown Maryland - thirty miles northeast of Washington DC (as the crow flies).
The last glimpse of the limo, was from a camera at the entrance to the Little Bennet Golf Course on Prescot Road in Hyattstown, and then a corresponding blip of movement off the edge of another camera located at the golf course's maintenance facility across the street.

Worried that Maximus may not be able to see or hear him (and mistake him for a threat), Steeple reaches out and touches the gargoyle with his vessel of transference, infusing Maximus with Steeple's own blood. The gargoyle should recognize his master's sweet vitae, which will then allow Steeple to get close enough to try ripping some of the tendrils free with strength of the earth and potence.
"Get the shadow spawn Minimus! Git it!" Steeple cheers the little ghoul on!

"Oh, and I snagged a piece of tavern cheese for young Minimus."

Once done, he'll go back to see what's taking everyone.

Analyzing the data, Emend could see that all the info in the phone had been erased (shortly after the time they had fled the restaurant). Even so, it was only erased in way of accessibility through the phone itself and wasn't to hard to drill down into on the memory to see a remnant of.
It looked like the phone had been purchased at a Walmart earlier, as shown by location data, then traveled directly to the restaurant, then dropped in the alley nearby. The cell plan was a basic texting pay by card plan.
Emend could see the texts sent to Mr. Swane during the meeting as well, then a couple of phone calls made from the alleyway after it had been ditched.
Checking out each of these leads, showed that the hobo who had gotten the phone in the alley and called a few friends to inform them he now had a phone that some guy tossed into the alley.
Getting on a computer and following up on the location where the phone had been purchased, Emend hacked into the store's security footage and saw the four "college girls" purchasing the phone with cash, then head out to the parking lot, where they tossed the phone into the window of waiting limo.
They then paired off, hopped into two cars and followed the limo - presumably to the restaurant for the meeting.

There was nothing out of the ordinary about the scene, so Beats had the idea to simply reach through the scying window with apportation to retreve the phone.
He had to be getting tired, having been so worried about paradox that he had been fixating on portals, when a simple apprentice level spell was all he needed.
Unfortunately, his ghostly hand couldn't grasp the material object on the other side - for that he would have to learn matter.
Instead, he used forces, to extract all the data contained in the phone into a small ball of light, which he then brought through.
Maybe Emend could do something with that?

Self satisfied in his master sluethery, Steeple flashes the others with a few random tactical hand signals, roughly translating to "fist - pointing - jazz hands - double fist" and then begins searching for a way into lower levels.
