Trouble in Georgetown

GM: Blackheart
Players: Posh, Bull, Monica
Synopsis: Blackheart is at the lodge and the people who tried to kidnap her are trapped in the basement. They see that they are under the influence of a powerful spell and so bring in legendary mage Monica to help out and track the mage down to the source. Supported by Posh and Bull, they launch a rather quiet assault upon the source of the spells and discover that it was a live trapped wendigo which they promptly destroy.
Date: Jan 17, 2076.


Monica rolls in on her bike, blub blub blub goes her powerful V-twin engine with the open full throat pipes. Dressed with leather chaps, combat boots, bra/t-shirt/green wool turtleneck sweater, full face helmet and heated winter bike gloves she comes up in front of the cabin and rolls to a stop. Turning the bars to the left she flips the kickstand out and leans the bike securely before rounding her right leg off the bike and stepping down on the left side. Removing her helmet she stuffs her gloves into the helmet and then pulls out some normal gloves form a pocket and puts them on. Cinching up her backpack for comfort she walks towards the front porch as she tucks her GPS-Nav Dat away.

«Plot» Monica says, "What's the BG Count out here? If 1 or above, I will be using filtering every 78 turns. Simple Action. Magic +roll vs TN (BG Count).. 1 success only needed. Gives me 78 turns without any BG Count mods (I create a path of mana that is pure and untainted)."

In the root cellar, one of the beat up elves, the one that Posh had decked with a stun glove, Zane, begins to wake up first. Groggy and sore, he stretches his jaw and winces, half of his face swollen up from that running right cross. "UUuhh, where am I?" he wonders, trying to reach up to prod his sore face he finds out he's been cuffed and soon he sees Bull looming over him and he freezes up, the hazy memories of the night before coming back to him, and with that, the realization that he's been trapped. Shaking, he gives Bull a pleading look.. "Please… Please release me.. master won't be happy!"

"Shut the fuck up you little shit, or I'll boot your jaw into the back of your throat." Bull growls down at Zane. "Talk when spoken to." He glowers at the tied up man, before he shifts towards the stairs to call upstairs. "Hey. The pukes are waking up." He yells up.

Posh moves to open the door, having met Monica once before, and having heard that Blackheart had contacted her for a little more info on this one. "Hey," she says, conspiratorially, with a smile. "Thanks for driving out here on such short notice. There's a bit of a…magical problem we were told you could help solve," she says. "These fellows aren't very talkative, and seem eager to pull their own guts out if given the opportunity," she explains. "Scurry told me that some kind of…spell is doing this?"

Monica ah's with a smile as a little more details are revealed by Posh as she comes up onto the porch now, "Oh.. sure, that's something that should be within my wheelhouse of abilities.. you bet." She offers a Posh a right gloved hand for a handshake greeting and then a pull in and back thump.. dang biker chicks.

Posh looks a little surprised, and she's new to this move, but she makes a living out of going with the flow and she almost manages to keep time with the back thump and then grins. "Well," she says. "Blackheart's sleeping it off, but we have some fellows down in the basement who are…well, under the grip of such ensorcellements," Posh says, coming to Scurry, «Specialist is here. Let's head to the basement»

«Auto-Judge[]» Blackheart (#12120) rolls 3 vs TN 10:

"Hey? You guys up there?" Bull calls a second time, hearing voices. "The shits are beginning to wake up." When everyone comes downstairs, they'd find the massive girth of the large Minotaur looming over the hippies that are all tied up.

Zane shrinks back as Bull warns him about talking, his face contorting with pain as he tests his cuffs and the plasteel digs into his wrists, his head shaking as he quietly sobs, his eyes puffy, he looks up to Bull, "You wouldn't dare.." he says, bracing himself for a punch.

Monica nods to the data and moves to follow along with Posh, casual looking around as she goes to get a feel for her surroundings but not passing that line into being snoopy about someone elses safehouse/home/cabin.

Bull flicks out a lighter, kneeling down as he lights it in front of Zanes eyes. "Cute. I know you got a deathwish. But there is plenty of ways to cause you pain that aren't going to kill you." The 'Taur says, moving the lighter back and forth. "… So shut up. Or I'll choose to hear your screams if I gotta hear shit from you."

The struggling prisoner does his utmost to lean forward into the flame as it's held before him. The inner conflict is obvious even to those not versed in magic.

With Scurry alerted, Posh leads Monica downstairs to the quartet of captured hippies. "They have that hippie smell," Posh warns, as she leads Monica down to join Bull; she figure Scurry is tending to Blackheart. "It's like he's ensorcelled to self destruct," she says, watching the scene.

Monica comes down the stairs behind Posh and upon seeing the tied up prisoners she takes a moment to just freeze in place for a bit. Her mouth opens a bit to breath through and she blinks a few times with purpose as her heavy leather jacket over her layers of clothing rises and falls a few times. It almost takes someone calling to her to 'break her out of it' before she shakes her head, "Sorry," she offers, "Had a terrible experience being kidnapped with a mage mask not long ago… okay.. I can do this."

There is a glance up towards Monica, and Bull flicks his lighter closed before he rises up to his full imposing height as he looks over at her. A brow goes up, and he glances towards Posh with a 'really?' sort of expression on his face. "Well. Welcome to the holding cell." The taur grunts. "I'm Bull. You the waggler thats goin' to break their little suicide fascination?"

"It is not their fault," Scurry says, having arrived in the basement on the heels of Monica and Posh. "It is the compulsion. It is… Inordinately difficult to break." He leans against a wall to observe the tied-up hippies. "And frankly it feels like a very high price to pay for a few strangers who tried to kill Blackheart. I'm loathe to squander resources on them."

Posh smiles at Scurry. "A powerful mage who can do this is likely to be off the books in some fashion, and therefore have some sort of gunk we can boost."

"Well," Scurry says slowly, "That is the second part. With the spell intact, we can astrally track to find them. I'm no sadist, but I am peachy-keen with letting them continue to suffer while we get the ritual magic ready."

Monica views the massive cow tank and then nods to him, impressed that big cow tongue can speak, "I'm going to do my best," she offers to Betsie.

Monica then turns her attention to listening to Scurry, offering him a respectful nod and then to Posh's comments.

Monica considers the flow of the conversation before responding, "Ritual magic to trace back to the source of the magic. Is that what we're doing? Or breaking the spell? Or a mind Probe to get information out of them? Why exactly am I here?" she asks without sarcasm or annoyance, but genuine interest.

Posh shrugs to Scurry. "I'm no monster," she says. "And we're going to interrogate them to get a payday. At this point, knowing that we might let them go is their greatest incentive. What amounts to various forms of torture will just involve…saying anything to make it stop. Less reliable than temptation."

Posh smiles to Monica. "You are here because these four gentlemen, who tried to kill my friend here, all are under some kind of spell that makes them try to kill themselves. You are to find any way to track this spell to its source, and then break it so that we can conduct a more reasonable interrogation."

"Yes! YES! You have to let me go!" Zane pleads, wincing in pain as he bites down, his jaw hurting an awful lot as he compulsively keeps straining against the cuffs that bite into his wrists.

Bull rolls his eyes slightly, glancing over towards Posh, Scurry, and Monica. "And I'm here to kick them if they misbehave." He says dryly. "Ain't too partial to people shooting me, or knocking my people out. Regardless of reason."

Monica listens to the plans from Posh and nods, "We can stun them into sleep so they won't hurt themselves while we do the ritual. When we return from the ritual I can awaken them with magic for several minutes at a time before they fall back into unconsciousness.. at least we can keep them safe for questioning if we render them asleep again. And.. they're easier to keep an eye on and cause us less fuss," she offers this last with a smile to the he-cow.

«Plot» Monica says, "Awaken spell will revive them (successes minutes) before falling back asleep."

Posh arches an eyebrow at Bull. "If you captured a drone, would you just smash it out of a sense of justice?" she asks.

There is a glance towards Posh. "… If the drone misbehaved after I captured it? Sure." He says with an amused smirk. "Though I don't think that'd happen."

Posh chuckles. "Well, these fellows haven't been misbehaving, they're just incompletely captured. You'd try to fix the drone."

Monica moves over to join up with Scurry now to mage-chat as she unzips her jacket and starts removing her scarf and backpack, gloves, wool cap, etc.

«Plot» Monica says, "Any Ward on this location?"

«Plot» Monica says, "How warm in the basement? normal house temps or cold?"

Monica hangs her backpack up on a nail and takes off her armored jacket and hangs it over the pack as well. Now in her green wool turtleneck sweater she turns around to chat with Scurry more comfortably, "Mind if my ally spirits help us with the ritual tracking?"

"I have no idea what that means," replies Posh, looking a little suspiciously at the four hippies all cooling their heels, restrained and in their chairs in the basement. "Come on, this is getting all blair witchy now," she says, seeing the eagerness to burn themselves to death on the lighter. "I mean, that would take hours to die that way."

Monica checks the room to see if there is any objection to her doing a sleep spell on the prisoners.. for everyone's safety. If no objections… she begins a simple stunbolt, one to the next.

Bull shrugs, and doesn't seem to care that Monica is putting people down into unconciousness. Hey, she is gentler at it then his left boot would be.

Monica walks around the group, a few paces off from each prisoner so she doesn't get close. As she moves around the basement she holds out her right hand with fingers held wide and speaks in an ancient language (Enochian), "You grow tired," (Centering). It looks a bit like an old Southern Baptist Tent revival healing as she waves her Jedi hand over them and they fall asleep one by one.

With that accomplished, she turns her attention back to Scurry and the preparations for the ritual tracking.

Scurry has that all handled. As a Hermetic mage, he has a circle set up and the materials set.

«Plot» Monica says, "Ah.. then there is a ward (circle… magical barrier)"

Posh feels, or thinks she feels, goosebumps on the back of her neck as she sees the efforts of magic, and she retreats into the corner a bit. "I think…" She gulps a bit. "I think I'm going to go check on Blackheart," she nods to Scurry, heading on upstairs. "I'm…I'm not sure I'm cut out for the hoodoo myself."

Bull doesn't particularly look bothered by the magic, as he stands with folded arms waiting patiently for the work to be done. Part of his job. He glances to Posh, and grins a bit. "Fair enough. I'll watch over here."

«Plot» Monica says, "Also: Ritual Pool. Scurry Sorcery + Monica Sorcery. This is a Ritual Pool. It does not refresh."

«OOC» Scurry nodnods.

«Plot» Monica says, "Also: My Power Foci: Can be used.. but only once. It's another pool. Force: 4"

«OOC» Scurry figured he'd be working up the circle anyways.

«Plot» Monica says, "Ritual Leader. All tests required for the ritual use only this character's modifiers, spell pool, karma pool. Pool dice do not refresh until the ritual is complete."

«Plot» Monica says, "One other in the ritual must be the "Spotter". The spotter serves as the astral eyes of the ritual team. the spotter does not contribute to the ritual pool. Spotters may astrally project once the ritual has started."

«Auto-Judge[]» Monica (#6503) rolls Intelligence + 8 (astral pool) vs TN 4 for "Base time: 6 hour":

2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 7 11 11 13 = 13 Successes

«OOC» Blackheart says, "base time is 6 hours, takes 30 min"

Projecting into the astral realm, Monica is quick to see that the four elves are under the influence of very powerful magic, which seems to dominate their faltering essences which are very pale and on the edge of oblivion. As she follows the trail of mind control magic back to its source, she finds herself nearing the outskirts of Georgetown, just up the highway towards Dever a bit. Approaching a home set on the slopes of the mountain, away from the town proper, Monica can feel a stillness to the area surrounding a home, the patch of earth around it seeming brighter than the rest of the area with the home reeking of astral pollution, a location where dark and dread things must be going on.. To venture further would likely be inviting mortal danger, as there's an eerie feeling that she may be being observed as she draws near.

Posh watches the ritual establishment curiously, seeing Monica slump as she moves to follow the traces along their path to Georgetown, after returning to give a smile to Bull. "Blackheart's doing fine, but she had a really rough one. They walloped her with those shock gloves," she says, turning to give quite a stern look to those about to die.

«Auto-Judge[]» Blackheart (#12120) rolls 6 vs TN 4 for "noticing visitors":

Monica offers to those in the basement before heading off, "I am going to leave an ally spirit here to watch over my body. If I have need to relay information back to you I have a mental link with the spirit. So.. if something materializes right beside my body that looks like a bald black man in a long black leather coat… don't freak. He's just going to be relaying what I am telling him to share with you." With that.. she enters the process with Scurry. It could take several hours.. so she gets comfortable sitting Indian style on the floor, leans forward on her forearms on her knees and closes her eyes.. projecting.

Monica leaves Morpheus behind in the astral world to protect her body, making sure he knows that those in the basement currently are friends.. and please don't manabolt them unless they harm her.

Monica brings Trinity with her, their astral forms heading off to investigate.

Monica relays information back to Morpheus for him to share.

Morpehus materializes in the basement in human form: http://postimg.org/image/b9zian6xv/

Morpheus' deep baritone voice offers to the group after a polite nod, his hands interlocked before himself with a brief bow, "Muse has found the location of the magic user. Near Georgetown, up the highway from Denver. It's on some slopes of the mountain away from the town. There is a spirit she believes patrolling the home area with a heavy feeling of astral pollution.. a great magical dread. Do we wish to just gather intel and return? Or do you wish for an assault?"

Posh waits a little curiously, before she looks back at Bull. "Do you think we'll have another fight in a moment? I'm not sure…a mage can often be a dangerous opponent. Still, well, he can't get both of us," Posh says, with a bit of a smirk.

"Man, I hope." Bull grunts with a soft laugh. "Fuckin' wagglers always piss me off if they get their shit in my head, but otherwise I like to shoot them." This said oblivious of the two wagglers in the room.

Posh chuckles, seeming to wince a bit at the language, but really not disagreeing with the sentiment.

Posh arches an eyebrow. "I don't know who Muse is. A mage, near Georgetown?" she asks. "We've got a location?" she asks. "All right. Well," she says, thoughtfully. "I suppose I'm not entirely sure. The four of us could head there right now," she says, to Scurry and Nina. "But one of us would probably have to stay to watch over Blackheart. I can volunteer for that one to be me, if you like."

Morpheus offers, "Muse is the name my master uses in shadow work," he motions to Monica. He adds, 'I can stay here and watch over Blackheart if you wish, Muse says she can task me to this honor."

Morpheus offers, "Muse is the name my master uses in shadow work," he motions to Monica. He adds, 'I can stay here and watch over Blackheart if you wish, Muse says she can task me to this honor."

Posh frowns a bit. "Well, it's not like we've met before," she says, looking over to Bull and Scurry. "What do the two of you think?" she asks. "The alternative is I could stay, and her comrade is released."

Posh frowns a bit. "Well, it's not like we've met before," she says, looking over to Bull and Scurry. "What do the two of you think?" she asks. "The alternative is I could stay, and her comrade is released."

Morpheus offers, "Or.. if you are driving to the found location.. bring Blackheart in your vehicle with you?"

Posh nods back to Morpheus. "All right," she says. "Scurry can stay here, then, to guard Blackheart, and he can leave a watcher on these fellows," she says. "I think we should be ready to head out in the van, then," she says, nodding over to Bull. "We'll have to charge up somewhere after doing the job, but at a commercial stop, that shouldn't be too hard." "Not just that," the redheaded elf continues, "Leaving Scurry and his watcher here might make the target think we're still here, perhaps," she suggests.

Morpheus nods to Posh, "Muse is conjuring a watcher spirit to leave near the target location so we can find it the house.. she will be waking up here shortly."

Posh nods, turning to Bull. "I think we've a plan of action, then, if you agree?" she asks. "I think we should leave the sub-machine guns. It's a house, so we'll have to sneak in quietly," she says. "I've got suppressed sub-machine guns built in, and I can load with EXEX," she says. "But for you…how do you think you'd do with a staff?" she asks.

Bull stares at Posh. "I'll take my suppressed guns then." He says with a quirked brow to her. "I'd rather have my guns on me, then switch to something else." A glance to the others, and he nods. "Plan sounds good otherwise."

«Auto-Judge[]» Monica (#6503) rolls Willpower vs TN 10 for "10L Drain":

«Plot» Monica says, "Monica Conjures a F6 Watcher Spirit with 4 hours service. No drain (due to trauma dampener)"

Posh tilts her head. "Did you bring them with you too from Denver, in addition to the smartguns?" she asks. "I didn't bring anything else."

With Monica returning to meatspace with the location of the sorcerer's home fresh in mind, it takes only a few minutes with a pocsec to locate the address thanks to PPCmapsresource.com and plot a route. Scurry offers to stay watch over the house after Morpheus's comment about the evil mage tracking his minions to the cabin. The van is charged up, thanks to being hooked into Blackheart's solar array and it's now approaching mid-morning with the sun breaking through some cloud cover giving it some decent power. The drive goes smoothly, and things in Georgetown seem… normal. People are happily going about their days, there are people walking their dogs, and even a few cross country skiers going along the highway between Silverplume and Georgetown. When the van pulls onto the road, they see it. The house on the hill. A rickety fence with skulls on each post belonging to various paracritters, with a wall of trees obscuring the house proper, but there is a sense of dread and foreboding emanating from the place. Children walking to their friends' houses seem reluctant to use this street as it has a view of the driveway, and it's quite empty of prying eyes.

Posh glances at the screen as the van pulls smoothly up at the house on the hill. The approach of the van is likely to be rather easy to detect. "Well," Posh says. "Should we just smash straight in the front door and dismount?" she asks, turning to Bull and Monica.

Posh shrugs. "We've got an armored van, we may as well use it. Bull, I'm taking a page from your book," she says, pushing the heavy duty battery powered motors to its limit as she suddenly plugs her datajack in and takes manual control, driving in virtual dash.

Commlink-Posh> Posh sends, « Buckle up. »

«Auto-Judge[]» Posh (#11342) rolls Car + 1 for "Virtual Dashboard. Whee!":

1 3 4 5 5 11

It's not going to be an immediate process for the high-powered van to pick up steam and plow right into the front door, so Posh can certainly be dissuaded into another action.

Monica on the ride has pulled her commlink out of her pack and matched frequencies and decryptions and gotten into the network. She offers as they approach and start the instant-idea of crashing in… "Can I be let out? I can come in invisible. Tactics.. not putting all your eggs in one basket and having a mobile and secondary force I think is a good idea."

Bull glances to Posh as the group surveys the home, before they go barreling in. "Sounds like a plan. We can be the 'distractor' force." He agrees, before glancing towards their waggler. "You got a way to protect us from this guys spells?"

Monica considers the options and offers to Bull, "He has a spirit patrolling his grounds.. the moment you breach his property he will know you are coming and be on alert. He may have spirits or elementals to bring forth at that time. If this happens.. my best way to protect everyone is astral projection with my ally spirits and elementals and I can conjure up several more watcher spirits for astral combat. I know he has at least one spirit for protection.. he may have several more. The other option is to stay in the meat world and fly in invisible as a backup force. If I can see you I can cover you with magical protection.. to a minor extent. But if he can see you.. he can cast magic at you. It's a matter of if you want projection from a magical army.. or if you want more meager protection if I stay in the meat world to assist."

Posh shrugs. "Whatever we do, we'd better do quickly," she says. "They probably can tell that we're out here, unless they have no way of detecting a van on the edge of their property. I'm happy to crack this nut the way you want to, though, and just run the data," she says, beginning to create a tactical map of the house to be attacked for herself and Bull, marking herself, Bull, and Nina on it. "I've got a loaner mage paddle if you need it," she explains.

"Yeah, I'd say get the magical help and go off astral." Bull grunts towards Monica, nodding his head. "Should be interesting to hit this."

Posh shrugs. "Or we can just feed the map to your pocsec. It won't help you gain an edge in the moment to moment, but it'll help us stay on the same page."

Posh grins. "Or, yes, I suppose the alternative is to go in…however you wish. Regardless, the van itself is a safe place to go astral from. Relatively speaking."

Monica nods about the van but still looks uneasy about crashing through buildings but it going out on a "trusting others" experience here. She closes her eyes and looks into the astral, conjuring up 5 more F6 Watcher Spirits.

The van gets crowded as Posh reves the engine at the bottom of the hill.

Posh turns to Monica. "I mean, we can just hop out around the edge," she says, nodding back to Bull. "Just like…pull up to the door, open the side door, in really quick. I'll try to get in and bust the lock quietly," she says. "That's like…the way to not smash right up front. A stop, and I'll be quickly out. Once I've got the door, everyone sprint from the side door inside. Like a…high speed party van," she says. "Ready?"

Posh apologizes as she accelerates. "Monica was right. We'll pull up to the front door, and then try to bust our way in, quietly," she says. "Let's hope there are no hazards on the way up." In the meantime, she switches her hair color to that of a dumb blonde, as she's being rather ditzy.

KABOOOOM! KABOOMMMM! Comes the sounds as the van blows through the rickety gates to go up the driveway, setting off a pair of anti-personel mines. The shrapnel rains against the van's armoured hull, but shreds the tires, even as Posh resists the magic of the guardian spirit who tried to cause an accident, it seems that technology and 400 nuyen did what the mighty spirit of the mountain couldn't!

With the tires blown out, Posh bottoms the van out while halfway up the driveway and it skids to a halt. Fourtunately, there was nothing to immediately crash into and there wasn't enough speed to flip. But, the van is stuck away from the house.

"Good enough," suggests Posh. "We'll be able to put on some spares in a bit," she says. "In any case, well, what are we waiting for?" She nods to Bull. "I suppose you'll take point, I'll try to sneak with my fancy cloak?"

Moninca, Trinity, Morpheus and the six watcher spirits flit up out of the roof of the van in a circle, back to back.. looking for the spirit/threat(s) in the area.

Posh attempts to hop out of the van behind Bull, no weapons in her hands, with her arm-mounted submachineguns ready. With the hood down and the cloak pulled in, she's almost invisible with her ruth, though if she opens up to fire she's quite more able to be seen especially from the front.

«Init Tracker» Blackheart (#12120) has set Bull's init to 19.

Inside the house there's a hippie on a bean bag chair playing a Terra Defender III, a low budget game circulated by Terra First organizers that let them play out daring raids on corporate holdings in order to protect the spirits of the earth. At the sound of the explosions, the hippy's friend spills his steel cut oats on the floor. Both slack jawwed, they look at their friend who coughs around the bong, spilling water on the shag carpet. "Whoa, did you hear something?" He asks, weary eyed as one fourth hippy shows up, eyes wide, looking manic. "Dudes! Some dude just rocked their van through the perimiter, totally fucked their ride!!" "Whoooaaa, dude," comes the reply from all three in unison. "What is this, a perimiter breach?" one asks, and the alert one nods his head. "Ya, man, better wake up the boss!"

Posh glances at the movement and deduces she might be able to flank or head someone off at the door in the open carport, heading for that with her ruth cloak up over her her head. She's taking no chances right now!

Bull sprints from the van, running headlong towards the house. And with all the grace a 250 kilogram Minotaur can muster, he barrels through the window before popping up on his feet with guns drawn. The 'moo' of Bull is mighty roar. Because fuck you, glass.

The three hippies still in the room are caught with their pants down. Literally. The one on the bean bag chair was just getting up—he's in his mickey mouse shorts, the second is wiping bong water off of his jams, and the third is just staring and pointing as Bull cannonballs through the window. "Whoa dude, there's a …" CRASH!!! They all seem scramble as they're showered with broken glass, the venician blinds in a tangle around Bull's horns as he makes his grande entrance.

Things are not so hilarious, though as they all seem to be scrambling towards what looks like suicide vests, heavy canvas jackets with FRONT TO ENEMY stenciled on the front of them over top of an intimidating bulk..

Flying down into the basement, Monica sees the fourth hippy in the process of running down the back steps. Inside the basement is a charnel house. There are piles of body parts strewn about on the cement floor and lakes of blood pooled up and coagulated into a cloying mess. A set of tools is on a work bench by a torture rack, and and there is a dark oak door set in one wall with a powerful ward blocking entry.

Posh starts working on the lock in the carport door.

Bulls hands track with brutal efficiency. The lord of BRAAPS continues his reign as his hands spit suppressed fire with the angry chattering of explosive ammunition. The first pair of hippies are chewed up by the accurately placed stream of 6 bullets a piece. It takes Bull strikingly little time to hew down stoned people, which is perhaps not a surprise. The final remaining Hippy is now facing twin smoking barrels.

Posh moves to enter through the door that she'd just unlocked from the outside, looking around carefully as she does so.

Posh opens the door just in time to see the hippy dashing down the steps, his dreadlocks pouncing as he grabs onto the handrail to run into the basement. "Boss! Bosss! There's dudes in the living room and shit!"

As Monica busts into the room, she sees a very large coffin set against the far wall. There is also a claymore set up should anyone disturb the master's slumber.

Monica points to one Watcher, "Manifest outside door, keep calling out "Explosive inside! Possible vampire.".

With that done, she leaves her army in the astral and starts to take her own manifested (ghost) form. A spectral mist that can be seen in the mundane world. (Plan: Casting Laser.. dangerous spell with very high DEADLY drain and drain will be physical damage.. very not good).

Considering a shot of the laser through the coffin without seeing the actual body.. might be a huge chance of missing and the spell is very dangerous to cast…. adjusting her plan she attemps a Magic Fingers spell… to lift up the coffin lid.

The Windego's eyes flutter open and a meancing growl escapes its throat as he sees the manifested mage within his inner sanctuary. "Welcome to my sanctuary," it growls, "So nice of you to come in person to surrender to me!" as it speaks a powerful wave of magic washes over Monica as it asserts its will in order to take control of her! With a confident grin, it's terrifying hairy body rises out of the coffin as it tries to dominate Monica!

Monica's ghost form reaches up to her own head, "My mind.. it's trying to take over my mind!!" Her scream can be heard throughout the basement and it turns to a snarly of anger and rage and then she yells out in Enochian (centering), "Ish van Kathra!" and points a ghost finger at the Windego. In the astral world (invisible to the mundane) a green arrow shoots from her finger into the Windego and it's body tremors and quakes and grows still. In the mundane world, Monica yells and points at the Windego and it closes its eyes and falls into a gently sleep.

Bull grunts, and motions Posh back from the door. He draws his SMGs, and lays a withering stream of fire into the door, while not standing directly in LOS for any explosives… just in case.

Bull takes cover from the door after the watcher's warning and begins to shoot with his explosive ammunition. He peppers the oak door, blowing it to smithereens and triggers a secondary explosion! The claymore goes off, sending shards of wood and sharpnel to cover the basement. Were they standing out of cover, they'd surely be more bloody splatters painting the gory walls.

When the smoke clears, they can see the horrors of the basement more clearly, thanks to the lingering fires. What was once a flop house has turned into a abbatoir, with the windego plying its trade on the local organic grower community. Inside the room, the slumped body of the windego slumbers, looking like a drunk who had trouble getting to sleep in its… coffin.

Posh moves back with Bull as she's tugged from her position by the back door. "Well," she says, taking a glance at the slumbering wendigo. "What the hell is that thing? And what do we do with it?" she asks. "I wonder if a wendigo, live capture, is worth a thing or two?

Monica then offers, 'I suggest we restrain it.. or kill it.. before it wakens… but.. a reward for paracritters is something I have heard about. .those types and amounts I have no idea."

Bull moves into the room after Posh, double guns drawn as he clears the room swiftly before approaching the slumped over Wendigo. "Fuck if I know. Christ, that things almost as big as me." Its bigger. But Bull won't admit that. His head cants, and his eyes narrow. His gun comes up and he puts a burst into its head.

With Bull shooting it once more for good measure, the thing seems to regrow it's face at an amazing rate, which only triggers the wired minotaur to blast it again, this time expending dozens of explosive bullets to make sure the job's done right. In the basement, there's not much of value, a couple of cred sticks, a few claymores in a crate, maps of the area with belligerant neighbours with little circles around some cabins, and little skull and cross bones in other areas. In the upstairs bedroom there's some pamphlets for Terra First along with a small stash of drugs and some hunting rifles. Nothing major, though some of the goo from the windego might prove valuable to the right buyers, para critter goo can fetch a good price to certain weirdos back in the big city..

As the crew leave the house, it's amazing that nobody's notified lone star yet. In fact, the perceptive shadowrunners can see several sets of faces peeking out their windows, watching with baited breath to see what happens with all the shooting and explosions in the house on the hill. The heroes are left to fix their tires in peace and move along as the community breathes a collective sigh of relief.
