GM NOTES

Thermopolis, WY




The derailment was planned by Rick and executed by Satan Dept. to act as a distraction to any teams in the area. The boats were pleasure craft all were being used by fishers. They were attacked at 11:15am, 1:01pm and 2:12pm
In each case the boat was stationary, the fishing lines began uncoiling rapidly into the water before something struck the vessels from beneath, holing them and causing them to sink. The men on the first and second boats had to swim for shore, while the 2 men on the third used an emergency life raft, which was also attacked and sunk.
The spill disturbed a group of men-fish who were making their way downriver from the Big Horn Lake in Montana to the Boysen Lake some 150 miles south.
On the way they will pass through a Halloween festival on the river, all sorts of paddle boats and party platforms will be on the water when the men-fish arrive.
The men-fish are poisoned, ticked off, and attacking anything that gets in their way. Getting them to stop their attacks will involve contacting them (they only speak a mutated dialect of Atlantean), healing them and making sure the mess is cleaned up.

Mrs. Woods has requested access to the "Berith's Skull", the "Demon Summoning" Sorcerer's Stone and one of the Atlantean Staves found in the Antarctic colony.
The Woods house is far out on the outskirts of town, the only other structure nearby is the St. Paul's Church half a mile from the house. The lab of the house is layered in massive wards on the doorway, floors, walls and ceiling.
  • Ward vs. fire
  • Ward vs. bullets
  • Ward vs. nature
  • Ward vs. unliving
  • Ward vs. undead
  • Ward vs. psionics
  • Ward vs. magic
    Inside the lab is a plaque with a spell trigger set to soul seal the room upon the command "Ereshkigal"

    The secondary bathroom located in the lab has a small incinerator beside the shower stall. The lab is stocked with various scientific devices for measuring, weighing, scanning ect., as well as fully stocked herb and mineral rack, a Bureau Class III Kirlian scanner (size of a phone booth), carbon dating equipment and electron microscope. There is also a supply of 6 healing potions (each heals 30 points of WBD in 30 seconds) and a P90 equipped with 50 random bane rounds.

    Rick Heffinger, former True Witch who lost his powers when his patron, Berith, was slain by Team Coldfire during a full summoning ritual almost 7 years ago, is holding Mrs. Woods. After Berith's destruction Rick was rendered powerless and comatose. Bureau examiners found his aura was weak and believed his soul was destroyed along with Berith. The body was placed in a Bureau institution where it remained for 3 years, until it was possessed by Andy Spencer, a psionic, who had been killed trying to stop a werewolf from attacking a scout campsite. After several examinations it was determined that the mind in charge was indeed Andy and he was released to begin a new life.

    2 months ago Andy ran into a problem, namely Rick. It seems that Rick managed to work out a deal with the lower powers. He discovered that his body was a material link to the power of Berith and as such it would be possible to absorb the dispersed energies of Berith into Rick's form and create a new demon to replace the lost Berith, a demon unlike any other, a human demon.

    Liking the sound of this plan Malthus arranged for Rick's soul to be released back to Earth on the day 6 years, 6 months and 6 days since Berith was destroyed and informed Rick he had 66 days and 6 hours to make his plan work (time expiring at midnight on Halloween). On August 27th, Rick's consciousness successfully blindsided Andy's and has kept Andy's mind unconscious since. Rick has been spending the past two months researching the ritual he needs to make his dream a reality and gathering items, through his contacts in Satan Department he has found a way to get the last item he needs through Mrs. Woods (the stone).

    When the agents arrive at the Woods home it should be late evening (8pm) the moon will be just reaching full and the agents should be informed that they can see a pack of trick-or-treaters coming down the road from the church towards the Woods' house (the pack looks like 30 or so children and 8-10 adults). If the agents ring the bell or knock they will be instructed by Mrs. Woods' voice to leave the items in the wood box (a simple looking box built onto the house for storing firewood, this one has a rotating rear wall). Rick will then take the items and conduct his ritual. He has already used his Mind Spell to switch bodies with Mrs. Woods and left her in his body, unconscious. Even if the Agents insist, they will NOT be allowed to enter, if anyone tries to get in, Rick/Woods will say the activation word "Treble-deimos" which triggers wards on the windows, walls and doorways Vs. Living, Unliving and Magic. At this point the only way in is through the wood box, which is full of wood and will only fit one person at a time if emptied. Meanwhile the kids and adults approach, if the agents pay attention they may notice that the adults are zombies and the children look to be in a daze. The pack is under the control of a Satan Department mage who has brought a horde of zombies with him and used drug laced punch to render the adults and children susceptible to suggestion, he is using simple Mind spells to broadcast instructions to the kids who were attending a church Halloween party, knowing the agents will be reluctant to harm the children.
