AHS1-3: Dangerous Beauty

In which the party aids Sareth in his quest to hunt down and slay Lilith to once and for all extinguish all shadowkin, himself included. Not everyone is entirely on board for this idea.

Story

Short version:

  • Session 1
    • Fly to London, go clothes shopping
    • Chav vamps attack, Vi chases the White Coats
    • The Hunter attacks naked Vi + Sylvia, falls off hotel, runs. Sareth spies.
  • Session 2
    • Prologue: Sareth is awakened by Anne, Percevious, and Mystery Necromancer (aka Federico).
    • Sareth and Anne vs white coats.
    • Sareth confronts Vi. Says she must help with the main plot: Lilith is planning some big, terrible spell that will kill everybody everywhere. They must kill her to stop it, and also kill themselves (and all vampires).
    • Kat meets Ollie and they have lunch. Mysterious stalker stalks. They go to old boarding school. She meets Eliza.
    • Everybody goes to the Valentine's Day ball, turns out to be a weird S&M thing.
    • Things get weird, party gets sucked into alternate dimension.
    • Fight succubi and demons, evade traps. Confront Nocticula. The plane collapses--Kat brings them home.
    • Meaningful ballads while they dance.
  • Session 3
    • Kat goes to the Wizard's Way. Meets the Stalker. He takes her to the bank. She finds the egg.
    • Party gets on Anne's boat, sails to France.
    • Mont St Michele: they psychically dive into the past. Then Fiona shows up.
  • Session 4
    • Fiona explains that she and her sister are mortal and seeking redemption, but they left all the power with their 3rd sister, who is the least wise. She is dangerous.
    • They go to the Moulin Rouge in Paris to summon and treat with her.
    • While preparing the circle, the Stalker attacks, forced by his mistress (Lilith, we presume).
    • Party defeats him, and Kat binds him. He is now Siegfried, her loyal servant, as she wanted. He reveals all he couldn't before.
    • They summon Naamah. She goes apeshit. Big ol' fight.
    • The witches play their hand, having prepared for this moment. They destroy Naamah, causing her power to fall to earth.
    • Naamah's divine mantle falls to the nearest suitable host: Eliza.
  • Session 5
    • So all vampires everywhere aren't dead. Somebody fibbed. Meanwhile, Eliza has fled in terror, with all her planes-hopping power.
    • The vamps go to church. The Hunter attacks them. Big ol' fight at Notre Dame cathedral.
    • Federico shows up to explain that they've been had: the real plan was to siphon Lilith's power into a vessel. He's not sure what they intend to do with it, but it's bad.
      • Also, Eliza is his daughter by Lydia.
    • Fast-travel through the planes (by plane-train!). It's no use; the witches got the girl. They've taken her well out reach: not just another place, but another time.
    • Federico demonstrates his knowledge of breaking his own Laws of Magic, and exploits a trick to travel through time. He takes them to the edge of the multiverse, to the Before Time, an Eden-like existence before death and suffering existed. From there, they can reach anywhere in time and space.
    • They arrive at Jacob's Well, in Biblical times. Eliza is there, about to be sacrificed. To stop the party, the witches summon the Furies. Big ol' fight. Federico sacrifices himself.
    • With the Furies defeated, the girl is saved. Sareth's vengeance is spoiled. However, as they return to their time (with a bit of help from Atropos), he realizes that he has another chance. He slips out of the time stream back into 1650.
  • Outcome:
    • Lilith's last immortal aspect, Naamah, is dead. Her mantle has passed to Eliza, but the vast majority of Lilith's divine power has fallen. What does that mean? Hard to say. It can be claimed and put to use. But where is it? How does one claim it? How much is there?
    • Sareth, presumably, reunited with Evette in her own time, and they lived happily ever after.
    • The founder of the Academy, long thought to be dead, is now well and truly so, and is put to rest in his home after a brief reunion with his daughter.
    • No one has seen or heard from the Hunter (aka Meneth, Sareth's brother) since the fight at Notre Dame.

Session 1: Trouble is Her Middle Name

After the hectic events of the previous episode, the party could use a little R&R. Having been paid handsomely for their work, they decide to fly to Europe for Fashion Week and just have a good time.
