I’m running the game Andy Hauge is in. We had some great moments last night. My favorite was the end of the session when Galina the Hunter and her mentor Alexis tracked down rumors of a demon possession to a beach house in Venice. Alexis was making vague accusations towards Galina the whole time, implying disloyalty to their hunting party. When they arrived at the house a party was going on which left Galina a bit confused about what was going on.
Alexis led her upstairs where they found Bella, the ghost-tormented twenty-something daughter of Ron the Tainted. Without hesitation, Alexis fired and struck Bella in the head killing her. This triggered the appearance of a demon Galina had a run in with earlier who subsequently broke her arm and set his sights on Alexis. Sensing his daughter in trouble, Ron the Tainted appeared in full demon form and crushed in Alexis skull to get at a protection amulet she wore with the hopes of aiding Bella. It didn’t work and Ron has to pledge himself to the demon to ensure Bella’s survival.
Galina sized up the Nameless Demon and realized that he would be vulnerable if she committed an act of corruption. As a hunter, her corruption move was to kill a mortal while in pursuit of a supernatural being. She eyed her mentor Alexis and made the decision to finish her off. For that brief moment she was infused with enough corruption to grab the Nameless Demon by the horns and snap its neck. In that instant, the Demon’s hold on Ron transferred to Galina. Now she is a hunter with a demon at her command. And that’s how the session wrapped up.
Stone. Cold. Hunter. It was awesome.
That’s AWESOME. 🙂
That really is awesome. Huzzah!
