Main Plot
Opening scene
- Rys is on stage, the party has had to wait until a silver circle could be inscribed in the floor of the church. But the show must go on. He performs his dark and sickly comedy of magic. The audiences both afraid and delighted, you feed on their worship. It is your secret shame, the adoration the love you get from the crowd, it feels so good to be full of their emotion, their energy. You play them, bringing them wonder and amazement over and over again. As the show begins so must it end. The audience leaves, all but one. Back stage in your dressing room remove your costume, a beautiful 15th century replica of nobles garb. You get a tenitive knock on your door. Henry, the man who runs your theater enters, "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, but there is a man here to see you...I'm sorry sir, but he says...he says he's your brother."
Points his brother tried to make
1. Asking for help because the young vampires are being destroyed and no one is willing to do anything about it. He knows that Rys is neutral and might be able to help.
2. He will try to make amends, but is a bit of an asshole.
3. Rys needs to know that he put the past behind them. He knows that Rys didn't kill his mother, that was their vampire father. He found this out searching for Rys all those years he was buried and has been avenged.
4. He may tell Rys that his mother was not turned by her father but by the plague doctor as she was dying of plague. It was she who turned Rys, but not him.
5. The woman they both loved was not pure and innocent but had deceived them both to turn them against each other and take vengeance on their mother. It was their mother who arranged to have her killed.

Fixing Fiona
- Her demon name is Eisheth Zenunim
- This will probably be the first thing the players will want to do. They should seek out the church. They have to bathe the gem in holy water and call her name. The ritual requires her to be laid out in a holy place, on the alter, a silver circle etched around it. The magic must be summoned and the caster must hold the gem no matter the heat, the circle itself bursts into flame as shadow energy rumbles around the ring. The fire burns hot and demons scream in protest, and with a silent shudder the crystal cracks. There is a moment of quiet and if Sam calls her chosen name, Fiona levitates into the air, white light emanates from within her, a great scream is heard her angelic from is torn from her body, and he two sides, demonic and angelic war with each other and the party. They both hate each other but as is the case with sisters, only they will be allowed to kill each other. COMBAT. When Fiona awakens she is completely mortal. Sam's hand is burned only when the circle is broken does he collapse finally feeling the excruciating pain. Fiona is unable to heal him, Rachael pushes her aside and does what healing she can but there will be some injury done, and it will take time to heal.

Defeating Ash
Due to Rys brothers help and Sam's deductive work they pin point the location of Ash's warehouse. Here they enter into combat with him and his minions. The party fights Ash to a standstill and Ash escapes. Sam had plans for this and uses this to name him prey, and by waiting until the fall equinox, the veil between the fae world and this one is thin, and they fulfill their promise to Robin by sending Arawn and the wild hunt on Ash. Which they join and follow to his penthouse apartment and they fae tear him apart. (which if anyone is paying attention to these should notice the similarities between the mythological significance of Samael and Arawn - both manifestations of death, thus the party was actually siccing the same archetypal energies after him. Sam himself is almost sucked back with the hunt, a warning sign.
