Mission Report

Sunday, Dec 31, 2017 ((Jul 21, 2019))<br/>
Team: Jane Irwin (Cael), Proud Flame (Aunne), Haelra Vayn (Basil), Cyrus Riggs (Sielic)<br/>
Absent: Lyndi Fletcher (Aslene) working a case as a detective; Cadeos (DragoN) participating in an event at the Temple of the Four Dragon Paths
== Briefing ==
* Nails in wheelchair, looking somewhat better
* Max leads
* Lyndi still working a case; camping trip postponed until the case is concluded
* Cadeos at his temple
* Debriefing of the Nigerian Lab (3-9)
* Adintech
** Mr. Smith or his associates were using adintech to trap the souls of good dragons in bloodstones
** Such souls could be used to fuel graven hulks or for other evil
** Dragon souls, like elf souls, are supposed to be in a cycle of life, death, and reincarnation
** Draco: Burning a soul in a bloodstone would break the cycle of their reincarnation forever, removing a soldier from the forces of Lord Bahamut.
** Another possible explanation for adintech: a strategic initiative in the war between good and evil, especially at the level of Tiamat and the Celestial Circle
** Max: >> That's a promising lead: to try to determine the identities of the dragons trapped in the bloodstones.
** Draco: >> I'm happy to try to help Jane talk with Uhoshi
** Jane Irwin: Stygi leaps from Jane to Nails, nuzzling him gently and patting his hair as one does when one is a squirrel. He settles there, a warm presence for a moment, comforting.
* Rooting out the necromancy cult
** At first, didn't seem to have a name for itself
** Now believe it is part of the Brotherhood of the Shroud
** The Brotherhood is a secret society (cult) worshiping facets of the Devourer. They have been fighting a shadow war with the Crusaders of the Dawn since at least the 1950's.
** Great Wheel: Unraveler vs. Devourer
** Jane: Dol'modeen really Unraveler?
** Nails talks about Tesseran religion
** Previous sites: Elysium in Winter; Jake's Electronics; Berrett Airfield Foundry; Fortune's Edge (in Tessera); the Nigerian lab
** R3M is allied with the Phoenix Group
** Phoenix Group covert action teams have hit other cult sites; encountered other mechadead; no surviving cultists
** We're confident we've neutralized all major sites on Earth
** Haelra: you reported that the mechadead in Nigeria were less advanced than those in the Foundry and in Fortune's Edge. Anything to add?
** DM: >> H shares her study of microbots
** In the past, we've found evidence of collaboration, or at least trade, between the Brotherhood of the Shroud and the League of the Rusted Crown
** Proud: Mr. Smith's dispositions regarding the League?
* The fey connection
** Haelra and Flame Littleriver
** Jane wants to tell Granny Bones about Caterina's cult experimenting on fey, like Flame Littleriver
* Other matters related to the lab?
* Updates on past persons of interest
** Raph Decosta: bargained for power from the demon Taguzoth; stopped short of killing children in a hospital; sent to the Order of the Four Dragon Paths as a novice; he's doing well in his training; he shows particular aptitude for fighting with a staff; his time with the demon did partly catalyze a Change; he is on track to become an Unbound of the Arcane Trickster type; one of the long-term guests of the Chicago temple has taken an interest in Raph, a couatl named Last Light of the Blue Star; the couatl's mentoring has reassured the Order's leadership that Raph is unlikely to regress to the path of a demonic warlock
** We should ask Cadeos to give us some sense of what training Raph is experiencing
** Colby Diseth and Lisette Carrell: also involved in the Bella Santiana matter; sent to the Talarin Institute outside Vancouver, BC; both are doing well in their courses; they're finishing an accelerated high school program, then they'll start university courses; Colby's use of the Helm of Liquid Imagination doesn't seem to have catalyzed a Change; Lisette doesn't seem to be likely to experience a Change either
** Javier "Javi" Denoto is finishing his high school education and working as a mechanic; no signs of a possible Change
** Francis "Frankie" Regan is finishing his high school education and has received an early admission decision from Northwestern University here in Illinois; he plans to major in Religious Studies; no signs of a possible Change
** Deanira Taylor and Levell Taylor: mother and son victimized by the Reaver cloaker Gelganag; they're in a new apartment in the East Pilsen neighborhood; Deanira has a new position, using her paralegal degree as an Evidence Tech for the Chicago PD; Levell is receiving counseling from Talarin; there are no further signs of interest by Rational Ascendancy in Levell's case
* Nails to Cyrus: you, Draco, and Bron are incubating dragon souls, given by Lord Bahamut. Does it make sense that you're supposed to be fighting this fight?
** Jane Irwin: A picture on the chain: Bron, Draco, and Cyrus as little feather mama chickens sitting on shining fancy dragon eggs, cheeping.
** Max: >> Dragons are notorious for being immune to charm and other mind control
* Nails will request CRA approval for Raptor Blue to travel to Sigil
** CRA meets Fri, Jan 5, 2018
** CRA randomly names strategic initiatives; Operation Sand Dollar
* Bron as a strategic asset
** War spirit
** Gunship with futuretech
** Can transform into a two-headed dragon and a humanoid robot
** Incubating a dragon soul
** Has a spelljammer helm
** Has a jumpcore (at least until it's installed in Lyndi's new ship)
** Tremendous asset; threatening; covetable
* Investigating the Circus Divergia
** Urged to do so by the ghost of Ordin Zarn
** Next major clue in unraveling the adintech conspiracy
** Talarins had a book from Tessera, but it was damaged last year in a malfunction of the fire suppression system
** Circus Troupe by CoLS
** See Mission Brief
** Two strategies: Rixa Galdan at the Night Market; Granny Bones at her shop
== Investigating the Circus Divergia ==
* Draco: >> I'm more able to give my attention to technology when I'm not in a corporeal form.
* Granny Bones Bookshop
** Lex
** Jane Irwin: (txt to Nails) Take care of yourself Boss, ok? I've got some home made honey-mint-lemon tincture in a little mason jar in the kitchen, if your throat is sore. Just add a spoonful to tea or whatever, ok?
** Haelra Vayn: Haelra's elvish ears look like those weird pointy ear cuffs when she uses her ring of alter self and her magic scars look like body glitter
** Haelra Vayn: Basically, she looks like the pixie from the new Charmed in my mind but gothish
** Proud Flame goes back to his 'urban cowboy' look, that horrid yellow duster trailing. Somehow he still manages to fit in.
** Haelra Vayn: Haelra likes blackberry white tea
** Proud Flame: Chain: Man. That's some good bailiki music.
** Haelra Vayn: Ellison is hidden in the inside of Haelra's "cardigan"
** Jane Irwin: Jane has something labled SMORES COFFEE, xxL sized, and a cookie in her mouth; she eats and looks around, interested in the books and the people around. She looks human.
** Proud Flame: Chain: We didn't sneak in. So there ya go. See the tall guy with the bandanna, the girl with the green eyes and the 'Elf' sweater - they marked us.
** Haelra Vayn: Haelra has a distinct memory of an ashhat imp hurting her friend
** bumblebasil (Haelra Vayn): not imp it was fae i cant remember
