OOC<br/><br/>Fair warning. I'm not quite sure how far I will get. Before the meeting, I want to provide some background information for Blaine, Frank, and Taryn.<br/><br/>Blaine's roll - Hit the Streets. whatever you need is more costly than anticipated.<br/>Here is what Blaine has learned:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>The Hell Hounds are a size 2 (30+) or 3 (60+) faction.</li><li>They are striving (the faction is actively pursuing a new goal outside their routine behavior, seeking to topple a rival, secure a particular resource, or even just rid itself of a troublesome player character!)</li><li>Someone is giving the Hell Hounds inside information about the local Supernatural Community</li></ul><br/>The cost. Members of the Supernatural community are expecting Blaine to stand up for them.<br/><br/><hr/>Taryn returned to her club to find things in an unsettled state. Tommy had nothing major broken (Faint Harm). As a bouncer, Tommy was used to giving and taking beatings. He let the EMTs patch him up but refused to go to the hospital claiming,<strong>"I'd be a target in the hospital. I'm staying at the club."</strong>The attack on Tommy unsettled the staff. Everyone working at the club knew that Taryn had connections, and a few were generally aware of Taryn's Supernatural connections.<br/><br/>The video from Taryn's place showed a single baclava-wearing person begin tagging the club. When Tommy went outside, another four figures wearing motorcycle helmets attacked Tommy. The five figures ran off as other staff rushed out of the club. The graffiti was a half-painted red dog.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Frank got a couple of calls before meeting with Blaine. There had been a couple of clashes between the Hell Hounds and the Marauders. There was even a call from the LVMPD. One of the detectives who had tried to convict Frank (and a few of the Marauders) was now head of the gang task force. The call was a combination of a threat, 'We will not tolerate Gang Violence in our City,' and probing for information, 'Know anything about this new gang in town?' The call leftFrank with the impression that the Hell Hounds were not keeping a low profile.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Blaine was probably in the best position to find out what was happening, given that she and her wolves are the defacto Neighborhood watch. Kazumi and the pups made the rounds of the neighborhood. A disturbing pattern emerged; except for Frank and the Marauders, the remaining incidents were against various Supernaturals - verbal threats, tagging, in a couple of cases, a stone through a window. First, whoever was behind this had a significant number of people - thirty to fifty people were involved. More concerning, the group had superior intelligence about Supernaturals in the neighborhood. It appeared that there was a least one spy in the area.<br/><br/>Several members of the Supernatural community have voiced their desire or expectation that Blaine will do something about this new gang in town.
