Session 4 - December 26, 2020

Page history last edited by Bolthy 3 years, 3 months ago

The session opens on Sunday morning. Carmen has made breakfast and snacks for everyone and catches Greg up with what happened. 

 

Carmen calls her ex-husband, who vaguely recognizes the name "Cracker" but he's in a different line of "work". He's surprised to hear that someone with the autobody shop would be associated with a burglar.

 

The group decides to visit Polly's Pies now that they are open. Unfortunately, the group hits the pre-church rush. It's clear that someone has called in sick. As the group goes to order pie, they ask about Bonnie and find out that she's the one who called out the last two days. "Appendicitis." 

 

Carmen tries calling Bonnie again, but gets voice mail for "Vernoica Mars."

 

They go to the mechanic shop. Greg and Jemmer notice a supernatural power there. To Greg it's a warmth, to Jemmers there's something "arousing." There is a radiantly beautiful woman there, obviously a sidhe, talking down to a boggan in mechanic overalls. She is clearly angry. 

 

Jemmers goes to hit on her, but decides to wait until the conversation is done. Molly recognizes her as Lady Lilliana Shannon, part of Baron Park's retinue. Park runs the Temecula area and a suspect.

 

Jemmers tries to pick her up when she leaves, but doesn't quite pull off his poetry. But he continues following her to her car to try and continue charming her. Greg tries to intervene, but the woman rolls down her car window and says it's fine. She says she'll talk to Jemmers if he can bring her the pennon. Jemmers, who can be told nothing, is eager to provide. 

 

Carmen goes into the auto shop once the woman is gone. She learns that Shaker called in sick the last two days, he's a nocker, and is friends with a pookah squirrel girl (presumably Bonnie). 

 

Ram tries to think of where nockers tend to congregate. Ram knows of one place where they filmed some of Fast & the Furious, but Unseelie nockers tend to go to ground at the local dump. But the rest of the group is wary because it's a bad place for seelie changelings. 

 

They call Shaker's number and get a voice mail telling him where to find his stuff at the Ten Dollar Inn. The group decides to go back to the Ten Dollar Inn while Ram and Greg go to the dump. 

 

The dump reeks as unseelie. Ram goes in while Greg stays in the truck. 

 

At the hotel, the group goes in like they belong there. (Again.) At the room, no one responds when they knock but they notice a note shoved part-way under the door. 

 

The note is address to "M and B". It asks to meet at the author's place at 9 that night to decide what to do with "it." It is signed, "Nicky." 

 

Ram goes to scavenge while also looking for Mark. Ram finds a lithium battery that might work for the EKG meter Ram wants to build. When Ram climbs to the top of the pile, they see that there are two nockers clearly heading towards Ram while another one appears to be sneaking up and signalling to someone Ram can't see. 

 

It occurs to Ram that they should have "checked in" before rummaging and now the enforcers are coming in to enforce. Ram pulls out the pie and tries to charm their way out. The head nocker takes the pie and the battery. They don't seem to be interested in a nocker who hangs with "goodie two-shoes." Ram can stick around, but can't take anything. 

 

At the van, Greg hears faint footsteps nearby. As he looks around, he sees a long foot disappear out of sight. Greg causes the van to Illuminate, which can be seen from within the dump. There's a silent scream and the sound of something hitting the dirt. Ram makes a run for it and tries to snatch something random on the way out. As Ram reaches for it, a sluagh from nowhere swats at Jemmer's hand. 

 

They get in the car, but the keys are missing from the ignition. Ram is able to start the car with their remote control and they tear off. The two sluagh meet each other and laugh like they got away with something. 

 

The group meets up at a Starbucks.

 

Molly conjures a Seer's Whisp to try and lead the group to the pennon. It heads off at jogging speed. Molly and Greg chase after it on foot while the rest of the group goes in cars. They arrive at the address that was on the note that was told was the "wrong" address. 

 

Greg kicks in the door spectacularly. Inside, the whisp makes a sharp turn into the kitchen. There is a redcap and a dark-skinned eshu inside that look pissed.
