D. No need to lie to the cops here, we actually are an occult expert. Also they probably brought an axe instead of a shotgun because the axe is magic. Wonder if it’s having an influence on them. Maybe it’s possessed by one of those angry ghosts, sounds like they’d have a beef with the Sonomas. Might be driving the owner crazy.

More reason to think Harry isn’t behind the wheel right now, something’s probably riding him.

I’d hope convincing the cops that magic was involved would get them to wait until some sort of specialist team showed up rather than running in and getting slaughtered.

CD Not surprised this turned into a slaughter. Convincing a sheriff to rely on your medical expertise in a tense situation is hard when you’ve never even taken a CPR class, and they were entirely unprepared for the bigger magical factor in play. Plus expecting a cop not to shoot someone waving a weapon around just because they are mentally ill is perhaps being a bit generous. malbogio fucked around with this message at 04:32 on Apr 20, 2018 |

It’d be nice if we could go for something along the lines of “It wasn’t me, I’m here to help” but I’m unaware of any resources that could unpoison the land since the superfund has already been misspent.

Blasphemaster posted:E. Can you show me what needs to be done as you have shown them? Huh. It would be nice to find out if this problem had a magical solution. Maybe the locals just lacked the occult knowledge to handle it. Does anyone have a definition on the word dodeam? I haven’t had any luck googling it. Five parties to the meeting: Harry, his two best friends from the pickup (probably), an unknown fourth Van Hagan, and the outside agitator who hijacked their group. Minimum three hatchets. I’d bet at least one is in the pickup. We should ask Matthew about Harry’s other associates to identify the fourth Van Hagan. The hatchets are a more immediate threat, but if we don’t ID the outsider they may trick other groups into being possessed. I wonder if the outsider has their own beef with the Sonomas (which may have generated trackable records) or if they’re just looking for hosts for whatever they’re summoning (in which case I’m curious how they found the Van Hagans or if they’re advertising occult services and got the Van Hagans to reach out to them).

B. But maybe tone it down a bit so we don't burn bridges. We're in a rush and not a people person, but we might need Matthew's help again later. I'm glad the totem trip was quick. We need to lock down those axes ASAP. We also need more intel on the mysterious poo poo-stirrer. The best eyewitnesses are likely to be Sharn, Jimmy, and Alex. Let's try to intercept Jimmy & Alex before they start their own killing sprees. Hopefully Sharn's situation isn't as urgent and can wait a bit. Would suggest calling Bryan the second we have reception to warn him and get an update on the pickup crew. malbogio fucked around with this message at 02:37 on May 11, 2018 |

Does June have any knowledge on wendigos? From other fiction I’d guess they’re pure bad news. The way it forced Harry into a murder-suicide against the first low level target of opportunity would seem to reinforce this. Harry didn’t evince any cannibalistic tendencies but wendigos are also associated with murder and greed so maybe it just amplified his negative emotions. I wonder what the wendigo gets out of the deal, maybe two human sacrifices? malbogio fucked around with this message at 09:53 on May 11, 2018 |

BC F The advantage of surprise isn’t much use unless we’re planning on initiating by tackling Sharn. Personally I’d rather try reasoning with her than risk getting axed. Hard to tell what’ll be most effective though until we find her. malbogio fucked around with this message at 09:28 on May 21, 2018 |

Tough one.Sion posted:The Wendigo snarled and stepped back, now apparently stuck between two decisions. It wanted to be whole again and to go home. It also wanted to kill and never stop. A kills Sharn and probably doesn't stop the Wendigo. B will probably lead the Wendigo to attack us. C keeps things civil for a breath, but the Wendigo is probably going to turn around and use the second axe to slaughter Sonomas twice as fast. Also these aren't just axes, they contain Wendigo power too. If this is only 1/4th a Wendigo I don't want to see how it gets after a bit of Voltroning. I wouldn't mind seeing a write in but for now I'm going with B. If we can distract the Wendigo from its massacre then let's play keep away. We can try to lure it back into the sitting room, trip it up on the furniture, and throw some table cloths over it. Let's try to make the Wendigo vulnerable so Jimmy can tackle Sharn and bag the axe. Also when this is done we're going to have to see if we can figure out if there's anything behind the "odor of demons" on the Sonomas that the Wendigo mentioned.

CD + Talk Loudly Running ahead is liable to put the Wendigo back in predator mode. Let's just give Bryan a subtle warning so he can hide while we try to monopolize the Wendigo's attention. The valet's lost enough blood that they'll hopefully pass for dead. Bryan's already had a few minutes to plug the wound so there's not much else to be done for the valet until the ambulance arrives in a few minutes.

Reminder: The axes which were used to murder two people and then removed from multiple crime scenes are covered in our fingerprints and our best friend is a lawyer. Also we can sense magic so we should be able to tell if the axes are mundane or not without asking anyone.

Toughy posted:Pretty sure we didn't touch any axes with our bare hands to leave fingerprints, probably smugged the ones we picked y with cloth. Yeah sorry, I realize now that I exaggerated. We definitely didn't touch any axe directly. On review two of the axes were picked up with towels, the third was taped up in a plastic bag, the fourth we never took from Sharn. It looks like our fingerprints are probably on the plastic bag, while the fingerprints of the Van Hagans are on the axes themselves. I still think Bryan will have a much better idea of how to handle them than we do.

Minimize the fallout from the axe murders. Find out if the other scion is up to no good. Figure out what’s happening to us. Find a way to help the spirits deal with the pollution. Assuming there’s a cap on goals I’m fine with slotting them in whatever order we seem likely to be able to redeem them.

“Yeah, my lawyer says to skip town, but what do they know? I’m going to go talk to the cops about all the murders because I am better at talking to the cops than my lawyer. After all, the last time I went to the cops they kind of listened and only two people died. Yes, a key part of my story involved evidence tampering, but surely I can just make up a bunch of lies to tell the cops to avoid mentioning it, or maybe I should just tell them and hope they give me a pass for being a good person.”

dont be mean to me posted:There are other considerations besides the law, but gently caress me for asking a question I guess. Your question was great and my post wasn't directed at it though I can totally see how it could have seemed otherwise based on timing. Sorry for causing offense, I feel bad about it and wish I had articulated my argument differently. My intention was to provide an argument against A as we weren't really discussing this vote and it was starting to look a lot closer than I was expecting. Normally I would expect disclosing more information than necessary to law enforcement to have high risks and low rewards even if the situation weren't so nuanced, but this is a fictional world so for all I know A is key to meeting our own Jim Gordon analog and keeping Sharn out of jail. To be clear I want to keep Sharn out of jail too and that's why I'm picking B. I think Bryan can manage the fallout from this better without June's interference. If we pick A I am concerned we would end up giving the police enough evidence to convict Sharn. There are mitigating circumstances here, I just don't see how we prove that now that the axes are mundane. We could tell the police about the other scion we saw in a vision, but I'm not sure how testimony on visions holds up even in the Scionverse. Sharn, Jimmy and Alex can provide similar testimony with the advantage of having seen things in person. In the Scionverse can a person be charged for felonies committed while possessed if they voluntarily entered into a ritual which led to the possession? If summoning a Wendigo is a felony and Sharn, Jimmy, and Alex are considered co-conspirators in that felony then it's possible all 3 could be charged for the resulting murders regardless of whether they could prove possession.

It's not paranoia if this is Fate digging around in June's brain and trying to figure out how best to rewrite her life to make for an entertaining story, with all the artifice of a reality TV show (or is that an unfair description of Fatebinding?). If the narrator is established as an in-game character then we might as well interrogate it. Until proven otherwise I'm going to assume these dream sequences aren't just character creation but also in-game NPC encounters. Write-in H: "An answer for an answer.

B If we can get the nephew's full name we can look them up on social media and try to figure out how to get into their head and shake them out of self-destruct mode. They might make for a powerful ally. Does June know enough about the occult to know whether "failed awakening" and "forced awakening" is in reference to a rough scion transformation or something else?
