Blood of the Earth - Session 7 Summary

(Via Dennis Via Penumbra)

Concerned about too much attention upon his family, Steel brought the group back to the Seattle Area to investigate. Rain really didn't want to return to Seattle so soon, and the increased Lone Star presence was one of her reasons, but she went. While there was enhanced electronic watching, a trip to the home of the family in astral showed that there was magical surveillance as well. Rain traveled with an aura of a roach free spirit and trailed by her other spirits was not so stealthily and set off a large water spirit in flight. A spirit of man was sent to follow it to destination but it was a not so smart follower and gave not entirely correct information (Likely the spirit went through a building and did not stop). That building was the place where the parent worked, and this was communicated to Steel, who communicated it to the corp. Inquiries to contacts about interest only sparked more interest, and this steamrollered to quite a mess. Many odd, expensive contracts appeared, but they seemed to be traps and the group left Seattle in a hurry for a place to lie low until the dagger sparked. There was no Light location this month, so they must look at the dagger. It was decided being in the air was best, and Steel picked Denver as a central location for North America.

Also, while the Denver Hilton was a good couple night stay, upon leaving Denver the group was called back by Ghostwalker. having a dragon dissolve one's plane at altitude would be bad, so they turned around and met Ghostwalker in Denver (who was pissed that the metahumans did not check in upon arrival to Denver; last time Steel gets to choose vacation location). Ghostwalker made an offer that could not be refused and a mission to get the Stone fo Memory for a month and return it to the lorekeeper. He provided a long treatise on the rules of the dagger and books, and provided an itinerary for Lothwyr. One got a public mark of favor, two got 2million nuyen, one got a private favor with a mystic thorn, and one got a semi-public The coronation too tough, the Orbital court to Secure, the group decided to travel to the Middle East where the Saedur Krupp laucn facility was located and stowaway on Lothwyr's vessel. Penumbra, not as skilled as the others was left to guard the plane. mages were hired to for stealth and camouflage spells, and all four snuck on the rocket in the scape pods. After acceleration reduced Steel and Rain left the scape pods to find a drugged Lothwyr. Checking the rules, he did not have to be awake; so the phrases were made, the Memory stone revealed it self and Rian and Steel took it. Stell then caused the escape pods to trigger, covering his tracks, and making it look accidental. The other pod landed in very public Italian harbor, and the two barely made it away; Steel and Rian's pod, with the help of air spirits landed in isolated North America. Let us say the Lothwyr is pissed.
