1AM The group will get back to Brooklyn after calling S.A.
Bishop and letting him know about what happened in Cave City (or under it).
Kismet tells PRIMUS (and the rest of the team) what she recalls from the thought
transference from the Crystals.
10AM Paladin contacts Merryman of the I5 to see that has
happened in the last few days with Manfred Saietta. Merryman shows up at noon
with a milkshake and a Big Mac combo meal. Merryman shows Paladin a series of
photos taken by Blimp showing several figures following Manfred Saietta into a
hotel last Friday the 31 st of August.
I5 said that the room where the meeting took place also had
the hotel cater the event. They had huge appetites and very expensive tastes.
[GM NOTES: I forgot to tell the group that Merryman would
inform them the room was reserved and paid for by Joseph -Joey- Manfredi, the
son of Manfred Silvermane.]
Blimp took pictures of several persons of interest as they
arrived at the hotel. They included Manfred Saietta (accompanied by Bruno), a
black man with slicked back hair in a violet shirt (identified as Raymond ‘the
Piranha’ Jones who was accompanied by a slender black man in a trench coat), the
Crime Boss Hammerhead (the top of his head is as flat as a dinner plate, he was
accompanied by two guys whose look screamed ‘I’m in the mob’), Vinnie ‘the Axe’
Coletti (high ranking member of the Coletti crime family who was accompanied by
a couple of guys in suits), and one massive fellow in a tailored suit with skin
as grey as stone (who was accompanied by a pair of women in chauffer uniforms
with micro miniskirts instead of slacks).
Merryman does not know what was discussed.
As for what happened at the Hunting Bambi compound, nothing
illegal or noteworthy. The weekend hunt took place as usual, and as usual the
hunters bagged their prey, then everyone went home safe and sound.
Paladin wants I5 to keep watching Manfred Saietta, the
Hunting Bambi compound and staff, and then watch the girls who work for Racks
to keep track of girls who go missing. Merryman said that it would spread I5
thin and asked if he could bring in more manpower to cover all the bases. Paladin
recommends Sachs and Violens, Merryman agreed to contact them.
Marvel Girl contacts her friend Marilis Kettler (a librarian
friend). MG asks her what she knows about vampires. Marilis goes pale. She
abandons the coffee and sandwich she’d order and tells Marley (aka Marvel Girl)
to follow her. She leaves the café, grabs a taxi, and takes Marley to her
house. (Her house is an apartment building not in the best section of town.) As
they enter Marley asks her if she’s going to kill her. Marilis states she
hasn’t decided yet. Marilis demands to know why Marley wants to know about
vampires. Marilis claims she is a half vampire, on her father’s side. Her
mother was human. She tells Marley that being a half-vampire is not cool. Yes,
she is stronger, lives longer, and sees well at night, but needing to drink
blood – occasionally sucks. Marilis tells her that there are hundreds of types
of vampire as every culture has their own vampire legends. Each type has
different powers every vampire and weaknesses. She related some details on
Carpathian vampires, the Time Stop Vampire, Romanian Vampires, Greek Vampires,
etc. She didn’t go into details on Penanggalan or other types of vampires
She did mention there was a kind of vampire that had many
clans included within it, some of these are the Brujah, the Malkavian, the
Gangrel, Nosferatu, etc.
Marilis says she can be more help if she knew more about the
vampires that were hunting Marley.
Kismet checks on the Ghost Busters who were trying to
exorcise the ghost who haunts her room. The school closed her dorm and has
moved students to any place that had room for them, including hotels and
motels. Kaitlynn Jones (aka Kismet) tells the school she has a place so she
asks that her stipend be donated to help those in need. Kaitlynn talks to
Sherry who tells her the ghost busters were expelled for the wild orgy they had
in her room. The ghost busters say they were possessed by the ghost they were
trying to exorcise. Sherry believe the ghost was ticked off that someone was
trying to exorcise it and fought back.
Kismet moves into her room at the ‘super secret’ Brooklyn
Brigade base.
At the 6PM meeting the group fills each other in on what
they have discovered. Paladin reminds Marvel Girl the group of vampires hunting
him are called Raven.
Constable suggests the Brigade engage in operation Helping
Hand where the group stops fighting crime for a couple of weeks and focus on
helping people out. This is to increase their popularity among the people so
when they move to strike against the Saiettas they will have popular support.
The group begins Operation Helping Hand immediately.
Monday Morning
9AM Paladin reaches out Dollar Bill, leader of the
Minutemen. He proposes that the Brooklyn Brigade and the Minutemen work
together in Operation Helping Hand. Dollar Bill is initially intrigued so he is
invited to come to the Bunker for a meeting.
Paladin then contacted Cassandra who is completely on board
with Operation Helping Hand. Ivy Pearl goes to work right away on the positive
press and PR campaign.
6PM Dollar Bill arrives but looks unhappy, he brings Dollar
Girl who looks absolutely grim. Dollar Bill tells him that most of the
Minutemen were willing but Rorschach and The Comedian refused. They believed
the Brooklyn Brigade (Paladin, the Constable, and Cassandra Clemons) should be
put down like the mad dogs that they are.
Paladin tries to reason with him but Dollar Bill says that
the Minutemen are willing, just those two refused.
Dollar Bill tells the group that several police have been
killed or gone missing over the last few weeks. Several have not been found but
others were found mutilated. He describes one where the officer had his arms
and legs broken so he could be folded up and put in a suitcase that was left in
his patrol car’s trunk.
Paladin is horrified, this is the first he’d heard of the
murders. He suggests that the Brigade come to the Minutemen’s base, answer their
questions, and get to know them better. Dollar Bill agrees and gives Paladin
their address. He also says that he will find an errand for Rorschach to go on.
It is The Comedian’s poker night so he won’t be around anyway.
Paladin wants to know why they are so sure of the guilt of
the Brigade. Dollar Bill tells them that Rorschach is impulsive and quick to
judge and act. The Comedian on the other hand is ruthless but methodical in his
approach so something must be guiding his prejudice. Dollar Bill tells them
that Rorschach was approached by a informer who witnessed Paladin and Constable
murdering three of the police. He/She/It refused to go to the police and would
not go public but he/she/it was able to convince Rorschach. He convinced the
informer to talk to The Comedian. The Comedian was convinced by the
conversation.
Paladin wanted to understand why Rorschach was so quick to
condemn them on shoestring ‘evidence’. Dollar Bill tells the Brigade about the
pedophile that Rorschach let go with a (violent) warning because he didn’t have
enough evidence and about the 8 year old girl he’d tortured, raped, and fed to
his dogs. Rorschach beat him so badly he could not move and threw him to his
own dogs. After his dogs killed and ate him Rorschach killed the dogs. Police
later found the girl’s bones in the dog pen and positively identified her. Rorschach
no longer waited for conclusive evidence before acting.
9PM
The Brooklyn Brigade comes to the Minutemen’s clock tower.
Dollar Bill introduces the group to his second in command, Moloch. Moloch tells
Paladin and the Constable that he needs to talk to both of them.
Hooded Justice talks to Paladin. He starts off being
aggressive with Paladin planning to become more soft-spoken to establish a
‘friendship’. Before he has a chance to go from angry to friendly Silhouette
stole Paladin from him.
Dollar Girl talks to Kismet. Being up close it is discovered
that her costume is nothing but body paint. Dollar Girl asks Kismet is she a
full hero or a sidekick too? Dollar Girl tells Kismet that she is a model that
was hired by the bank to increase Dollar Bill’s sex appeal but Dollar Bill
trains her. Dollar Girl tells Kismet she should rescue Paladin from Hooded
Justice and Silhouette. The Minutemen have a bet on which one would be able to
bed Paladin first. Kismet said that Paladin was a big boy and could take care
of himself. She then put $25 on Silhouette.
Kismet says she was a model for a bit while she was going
undercover at Racks. Dollar Girl asked why. When she learned that Brooklyn
Brigade was investigating the Saietta she suggests Kismet talk to Captain
Metropolis. He knows a frightening amount of information about the Saietta
family.
Moloch tells the Constable he needs to control his anger and
that pummeling teenagers was not a good idea. Constable grew annoyed with
Moloch telling him that the ‘child’ attacked him mentally. Moloch pointed out
that there was no evidence of that and constable grew more angry as they
discussed the subject. Moloch ended the conversation by walking away.
Captain Metropolis talked to Marvel Girl. It started off
light-heartedly enough with him asking if Constable really had an off switch
but quickly dovetailed into him asking about what happened with the teen
Constable killed. Marvel Girl told him in detail as to what happened according
to her memory. The tale climaxed with her saying Constable barged into the
Saietta family home and threatened Francisco before he was allegedly attacked
by the ‘dangerous’ mentalist.
Silhouette asked Paladin out. He answered that time and duty
permitting he would not object. She tried to set a time and date for dinner and
drinks for 7 PM the following Friday. Paladin repeats that it depends on time
and duty, that he had no idea what he would be doing or where he would be
Friday. She withdraws the invitation but places her hands on his shoulders and
kisses his cheek. Silk Specter (the 19 year old member of the Minutemen) gives
Dollar Girl $5 after seeing the kiss.
Kismet goes to talk to Captain Metropolis as the session
ends, the conversation is to be handled via email between game sessions.

Kismet
can have her convo off camera, if Captain Metropolis is willing to give her a
listen at the end of the meeting.
Of course he is
willing to listen. He is always happy to help fledgling heroes.
She
will lay out everything she can remember about Racks, the Bambi Hunts, the
missing women (names, ect) and their sudden cessation of social media and
physical appearances, how the Saetas are involved somehow with both places,
Mannfried's odd powers overcoming even her resistances given time, and the tale
of the tooth and how they linked it to the Bambi event and to Racks If he's
interested, she'll also explain to him about the Underworld races/nations and
how some are planning something reckless. She'll also see if he knows anything
about getting rid of pervert ghosts, or if he can recommend someone not a
'ghostbuster'... :D
That is quite the list.
1)
He is aware of Racks. Manfred is, according to his investigations,
is the Don of the Saietta crime family. The Saietta family runs a lot of vice
crimes but also has a booming business in blackmail and extortion. As odd as it
may C.M.’s informants say Manfred has been in charge of the family forever.
Senior citizens who claim to know say that he was running numbers back in the
late 1930s and 40s.
2)
Rumors abound about the Saiettas having powers but they are just
rumors.
3)
He does not believe there is a connection between Hunting Bambi and
the crime family. He thinks that misogynists can evolve independently.
4)
Women and girls vanish all the time in New York. In fact nearly 40 people disappear
without a trace in the city every day! Girls vanishing from Racks is
something he is passingly familiar with. Less often are males vanishing from Racks
has also been reported. The problem is that Racks is ‘protected’. Many police,
city officials, county and state office holders are all customers of the
‘restaurant’. He does not know if Manfred is blackmailing them, Mind
controlling them, or if the movers and shakers are there of their own accord.
5)
Manfred runs his criminal empire from his favorite nightclub.
Similar to Racks females are not dressed there. The place is called the Den.
Female customers get a locker for their street clothes and a cloth pouch worn
around the neck for their money, identification, etc. Female staff just go
without.
6)
The meeting at the hotel was not called by Manfred Saietta. It was
called by Manfred Silvermane. The reason for the gathering is the people who
attended are suspected in the burning down of Silvermane’s Park
Avenue home. The Commission (the crime council that keeps the
peace in the city) permitted the meeting of these crime figures to address the
arson and recompense for it.
7)
No clue about the ghost problem, he would suggest talking to Moloch
(The Minutemen’s second in command). He is a occultist and a spell caster.
She
won't have much to say about the death of the Saeta kid, since she was
separated from the group and trying to stay undercover at the time. She wasn't
there. She does consider Crusader to be be an arrogant hothead but will only
mention that if it comes up.
Oh, it will come up.
She
also believes that the rest of his Family would gladly take advantage of or
even fake his death to manipulate public opinion.
Yes, the Saiettas would take any advantage they can get.
