October 20, 2018 Saturday The hero Horati,
having heard about the war that is brewing between a major crime
family and the Brooklyn Brigade (and allies), comes to the Bunker to
add his might to the rising tide.
Paladin has him
fill out the paperwork as he asks Cyberpunk to do a quick background
check on him. The background check comes back fine so Paladin talks
to Horati about the fiduciary benefits and expectations that Brooklyn
Brigade LLC. requires of its members.
Kei and Yuri talk to Kismet a little
about the Hunting Bambi session that they are partaking of tonight.
The game is set to begin at 7PM. Mughi is prepared to slip in with
them (invisibly) to make sure that they are safe. The big bear-like
creature will be smuggling in some of the Lovely Angels favorite
weapons in case of emergencies. Kei wants to play it straight. She is
sure that stark naked she can still beat the primitive screw-heads
hunting her (and Yuri) without help. With that said having a backup
plan is always a good idea. Yuri is not terribly happy about being
hunted naked through an arena but she let Kei talk her into it. As a
point of honor she can’t back out now.
Roughly Noon Meagan Pierce of the Circle shows up
with a wand that has the imprisonment spell. When an opponent is
unconscious (or at least subdued and unresisting) tap them with the
wand and it will seal them in a clear glass-like bauble 2 inches in
diameter. The enclosed victim will be in a state of complete
suspended animation unable and unaware until the bauble is broken
releasing them from the spell.
Meagan also has brought news: the full
circle will be joining in the battle. Ebon Fire, Kor Hunter, Meagan
Pierce, Moonsilver, and Aureole will be joining in the active fight.
The Greater Circle (The Master, Doctor Arcane, Lady Arcane, Lord
Arcane, the Revered Elder, and Vyss the Bloodletter), will be
observing nearby in case Azor gets involved.
After delivering the wand and the
message she heads to the bus stop to head for home (?).
The group then begins an earnest
discussion of tactics where the fight with the Saiettas is concerned.
Kismet wants to find a way to battle Deslee Saietta (their dream
warrior) and spends time pondering what she might be capable of in
the waking world.
The group knows that Manfred and
Deslee are mentalists. They also know that Francisco was a mentalist
before he was killed by Constable. The number of mentalists in the
Saietta family is a source of concern for the veteran members of the
group. They know that Bruno, Manfred’s bodyguard, is a brick but
they don’t know how powerful he might be. They also know that Roxy
(Julianna Delancourt Saietta) Manfred’s daughter, is very likely
not a mentalist. Since she fills in for Bruno on his days off it is
decided she is very probably a brick too.
Paladin maintains a vigil for any word
from Sophitia Alexandria, the Olympian demi-goddess who co-owns the
California ‘Not Just Cakes’ bakery with her boyfriend. He is
hoping that she has been able to get word to the Asgardians about
getting some extra firepower for the upcoming battle. He also wants
to give them Magni’s enchanted artifacts that the Nazi super agent
Germania used during WWII. (Her helmet and hammer are in the Brigades
trophy case.)
As the round table on what they can
except from the Saiettas Kismet gets a text message (from an
unregistered burner phone). ‘Tell no one, we have your Uncle. Come
to 123 Seedy Street alone or he will cease to live.’ Kismet quickly alerts the rest of the
team so that they can go rescue the kidnappers from her uncle!
The group reaches the condemned and
(supposedly) empty apartment building and the battle begins!
