Last Thursday, our intrepid band of anti-heroes had their debut.
Damian Drake, Ventrue vampire and Primogen of the Invictus in Philadelphia, commissioned Dr. John Murphy, a Nosferatu of his covenant, to find a way to bolster security at Prince Michael Allens' annual Labor Day celebration. If successful, this would give Dr. Murphy considerable prestige in the Invictus.
Dr. John did just that, putting together a team made up of Joshua, a martial artist mage, Edward, an Illuminati conspirator (also a mage), Nix/Laura, a cat burglar with MPD (vampire), Finch, a computer security specialist (werewolf), and himself. On the day of the party, Sept 1, 2012, they gathered at the venue, a new water park the Prince had built to bring some new economic investment to his beleaguered city.
At the party, our intrepid band laid low for the most part, with only Dr. John really trying to hobnob among the high and mighty. The group was, directly or indirectly, introduced to Prince Michael, Rebecca Philips, Damian Drake, "Mitch" Mitchell, "Boar" Boorman, and Jon Benton. The latter seemed suspicious to Dr. John, who kept a close eye on the Gangrel. They also met the mage ambassador, a British professor by the name of Reginald Skelmsdale.
However, around midnight, all hell broke loose when a group of gang members stormed the facility and began shooting the guests. They were attacking with antiquated Tommy Guns, which appeared to be using some sort of "sunlight" rounds. Dr. John's squad defeated or drove off the gang members after a pitched battle, but roughly a half dozen or so Kindred had been sent to torpor by the attack.
The Prince, infuriated by this attack on his sovereignty, has now demanded the PCs find the culprit responsible for this. Their investigations have given them several clues, most pointing towards the mysterious "Chupacabra."
But to where will their investigations take them next? Tonight we find out in Part Two.
