BDH2-2

After the last fight, you regrouped at the mission briefly before deciding that you needed to rest sometime so you each went back to your separate abodes agreeing to come back together at noon the next day. Fiona has organized a prayer session the following morning for the girl. You each agree to meet up after at noon. Arriving at the mission, you see signs and banners for Tula, as well as a wall filled with other missing. Various candles and pictures and flowers litter the area. You walk in and hear someone singing. turning left into the church, people are sitting rapt at the pews. A woman tall, shapely and muscular, her hair bouncing in the soft light of the stained glass, appearing for a moment in the afternoon light a halo. For a moment you forgot who you were who she was, you listen to her strains of Halleluiah as enchanted as the crowd. She ends on that final note and the spell breaks.

The girl has been kidnapped by a demon. She is going to be a spell component against the vampires, (also with proper spell check this could include the Thunderbird's) The demons have been summoned by a witch. The witch has ties to an apocalyptic cult.

The girl has been taken by the cabal of demons in order for the witch to take revenge on the vampires for killing her daughter. The daughter got involved with a vampire boy, and he tried to turn her but since she was a witch just killed her. It was her mom trying to keep her from her power which ended up killing her. This has metaphorical tie backs to the thunder birds and Tula being taken from her people by her father. Is it really better to deny ones heritage for the hope of a better life or preserve tradition to protect oneself from the negativity of one's past.

The best thing for Sam to do is to follow up with Tula's friend, Melody Kepler and she can tell them about another rave put on by the same party house.

This devil will try to appeal perhaps in person to the party. He sits at a perfectly polished mahogany desk surrounded by what appears to be an incredibly expensive furnishings, The walls are mahogany and green velvet. One wall has towers of rare and valuable books. If the party lets him go he will reward them. If not he will manifest as a giant bull and attack the party.

It takes damage until it drops the ball or 3 rounds have passed, it then throws the ball. If the party can get the ball to be dropped on the the creature by reaching the damage thresh hold. It takes 50% of current damage done. The ball when hitting a party member makes the stacking fire go off instantly but extinguishing it.

Lust

Manifestation of Asmodeus Demon of wrath; prince of demons; the father of monsters; inspires gambling, deceit, lust, and revenge. This is where things get interesting. He manifests as an old friend of Fiona's. They talk. He is a large bald man in a white suit. He tells Fiona he misses her, that she shouldn't cause him so much suffering. Although he thinks her plan is equisite. "What Paln," She asks, He exmplains, "Why the set up you have here, all of the souls you have gathered, such power," She replies, "I do it in the name of the keeper of the keys, the one sent to redeem the world." Asmodeus responds, "So you say, and so he says, but what is the one requirement he placed on redemption?" She questions, "price, there is no price," she says. "Ah but there is one, For God so loved the world, that He hath given His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life." The key my dear, is belief," He smiles a toothy white grin. I'll leave you with one gift my daughter, truth." As he fades in a whisp of white smoke, Fiona falls to the ground, cluching her head, "No no, no not this not now," she moans. her clothes begin to rip from her body, from her back with a terrible rending white feathered wings force from her body, but as she screams in defiance they blacken and darken, her skins changes hue, cracking and burning from the inside and horns of black flame spurt from her temples. "Help me," is the last human sound you hear from her before she attacks."

Once the party defeats her she knows where the girl is, in the basement, tied up and drained of blood, still "alive" as a vampire but splayed out for slaughter. If for some reason Rys kills her it will of course set off the witches bloodline spell and we'll have to somehow deal with those consequences.

Settings

Fremont Street Los Vegas, Nevada the glittering lights, crowds of people, and the giant screen vibrating with the sounds of a rock band, through the wash of humanity, to the trained eye are still points, the predators and strange ones and those freaks of humans who walk the line between the worlds. One of these is a young man, walking with his hands in his pockets of his black leather jacket. He seems oblivious to the tourists and lost in thought. In front of an alley that didn't seem to be there a moment before a purple and black striped tent arches over an old lady and a young girl. Both are dressed in black but that is where the similarities end. The young girl looks about eight but dresses like a hard 12 year old, her hair spiky and pink a nose ring inone nostrel, the girl is airbrushing designs on T-shirts. The old woman is spinning at a sewing machine when she notices you, Sean. Her foot stops spinning and through the noise you seam to still here her shout, "You, you green man here!" She waves you over, a part of you wants to continue slinking into the crowd but there is this nagging feeling, so reluctantly you walk over. "You, Green Man, hold this thread while I tie it off," You put your finger down and watch as she callously snips a thread. "Do you know why you're here?" she asks. After his response she waves her hand, "well, no matter, no matter, here you are. You are searching for something? Yes? You will find it if you find the girl." With that the young punk approaches you, "Dude, sorry hey grandma get back to work and stop scaring customers. Look you gonna buy something or not?" You notices by here is a stack of purple fliers, "yeah its a rave, I owed her one, spossda be to die for, I gotta work but invite your friends, now if you aren't going to buy then move on,"
