				<strong>Chapter 1: Dark Homecoming</strong><br><br>&nbsp;The Argent Spyglass, your cabal, had just finished converting an abandoned distillery to your Sanctum. It is on the outskirts of Boston, has a hallow, and after your modifications security, and enough space for all of you. Then while one of you is taking out the trash you see a dead body in the alley behind your building.<br><br>&nbsp;James immediately recognizes the man as Donnie Azoff. Donnie was stockbroker and sleepwalker who used his hunches to play the stock market and gained wealth and notoriety.

While he believed there were already maps of the local ley lines hidden in some Mysterium vault somewhere, Pulse had considered it practice to try to map them out again. Worst case scenario he could test his methods and get experience with it, and best case scenario, he could find something the ley lines were pointing to. His was currently loading his GPS data from his phone into the computer and creating a digital map of Boston with what information he had. <br><br>Once he was told that there was a body outside, he narrowed his eyes and nodded his head, "I'll be right down..." He finished the line and saved his project before shutting it down. He grabbed a crystal off a book shelf to assist, and made his way down to the alley. Occam's Razor would say this was most likely a mundane murder that the Cabal was just unfortunate enough to have right outside their Sanctum. If it was mundane, there was little Pulse could do, so he worked as if he expected it to be supernatural in some way. He stayed in the back, looking through the crystal to scan the scene, looking for any traces of the Supernal, as well as the general resonance of the man's murder. He figured any further physical investigation would take longer for less information that the Death-Mages would find. <br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Casting: <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">'Channel Mana'</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Words of Power (+2 to Pool)</div></div> 3 Successes (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=71439), Taking 1 Mana from the Hallow w/o Oblation. <br>Casting: <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">'Supernal Vision' w/ Spell Cloak</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Increase Duration to 24 Hours (-2 to Pool); Words of Power (+2 to Pool); Spell Cloak (+1 to Mana Cost)</div></div> 1 Success (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=71441); Potency: 1, 24 Hours; 1 Mana Cost is reduced by Hallow to 0. <br>Casting: <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">'Magic Shield' w/ Spell Cloak</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Increase Duration to 24 Hours (-2 to Pool); Words of Power (+2 to Pool); Spell Cloak (+1 to Mana Cost)</div></div> 1 Success (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=71442); Potency: 1, 24 Hours; 1 Mana Cost is reduced by Hallow to 0. <br>Casting: <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">'Transform Aura' w/ Spell Cloak</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Increase Duration to 24 Hours (-2 to Pool); Words of Power (+2 to Pool); Spell Cloak (+1 to Mana Cost)</div></div> 3 Successes (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=71443); Potency: 3, 24 Hours; Have a Sleeper Aura; 1 Mana Cost is reduced by Hallow to 0. <br><hr>Scrutinizing the Scene: Using <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Supernal Vision (Prime Mage Sight)</div><div class="spoiler_body">Potency: 1; Pool does not count bonus that Prime Sight offers against specific types of targets; nor am I counting my Occult Specialization in 'Supernal'</div></div>, Using a Crystal for +1, Extended over Six Turns -- 22 Successes (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=71444)<br><hr>Active Spells:<br>Supernal Vision (Potency: 1, 24 Hours) Cloaked, Prime 'Mage Sight'<br>Magic Shield (Potency: 1, 24 Hours) Cloaked, Armor: 3/3, 1 mana = 3 Armor vs Spells<br>Transform Aura (Potency: 3, 24 Hours) Cloaked, Have a 'Sleeper' Aura. </div></div>

				The good doctor was not a morning person, and ended up outside with a cup of coffee in hand. "Fuckin' hell, couldn't our murderer friend have been nice enough to push his busy schedule of killing back an hour?" He knew his companions would be using their Mage Sights to examine the scene. He fell back on his own mundane skill. Strapping on a pair of gloves, he set to work. "We should probably call the cops at least.

				&nbsp;Forensic gaze reveals two very important clues. 1. Donnie Azoff has died last night. 2. He died from being completely and utterly being drained of blood. There isn't any blood at the crime scene and very little on the body itself. That is not normal for a mundane murder. The blood was drained from the bite mark on his neck. Donnie had struggled against his attacker shown from the bruising, trying to fight them off.<br><br>&nbsp;3.Supernal Vision reveals that no magic was used in the attack itself. There is however some sort of supernatural signature hanging round here. Definitely not a Mage, but something not human. It is something Pulse has never seen before.<br><br>&nbsp;Casual Medicine check and Dr. Angelo's knowledge reveals more clues. 4. The bite marks is actually a row of teeth, instead of 2 fangs like a vampire. Normally a vampire wouldn't be able to drain a grown man completely, unless they were starving. 5. The victim's pockets are empty. Some one stole his phone, wallet, and presumably car keys.<br><br>&nbsp;The murder appears to be supernatural related, but not done by a Mage. You could canvas the rea and look for witnesses, report it to the police, or try something else.

				Deadeye relayed what he'd learned to his cabal-mates without any delay, and added "Once we're done here, i'm altering this body so it doesn't look like a vampire made this guy a midnight snack before we call the cops. We cannot let sleepers think that kind of shit is happening. And since I don't believe in coincidences, we need to find out who or what exactly killed him, where he was killed so I can get ahold of his ghost if he left one, and why he got dumped here, because he didn't very well walk here under his own power with no blood in his body. call me paranoid, but this is too convenient, and besides if there's something leaving bodies like this lying around we need to put a stop to it anyway, whether this was targeted at us or not. First step is to dig into his life without looking like we're doing it."

				<div align="center"><span class="bbc_u">James 'Jacob' Ecote</span></div>Note: When talking to James, call him Jacob, as it is his shadow-name.<br><br>James had at first tried to ignore the noise he could hear from the outside. He was just in the middle of doing what he had been doing for some time after they finished furnishing up the place, which was slowly sipping beer and gazing into a wall. He quite enjoyed the place, and had decided to reward himself with some quiet after all the work they'd been going through. Even then, the noises kept growing in numbers, as if more and more people were gathering in the same place. Curious, James finally got off his chair, and began to walk out towards the front of the building. What he saw was... distasteful, to say the least.<br><br>"Fucking hell...", he muttered under his breath, not wanting to attract attention. "Don't call the blue men before we know what happened - we don't want to taint the scene of the happening, now do we?"<br>He tried to act calm, but the sight of a dead human didn't sink in well with him. "Deadeye, if you could give me a more precise time, I might be able to use a trick of mine. Until then, I will go out front to make sure no one sees anything. It has to be a bit more precise than 'midnight', unless you want me to cast my trick for longer than what is healthy", he uttered before leaving the scene, trying to see if there were any sleepers coming closer.

As much as he would accept violence and death might be hard of his 'new' Awakened life; it was different to encounter it in a practical sense instead of the academic. He spoke out loud to the lot of them, "Doesn't seem like any Magic was used here. I haven't seen the signature of whatever did this before, but at least I should be able to identify it again..." <br><br>He looked over towards Deadeye, nodding his head, "I think that's wise. We don't want the police investigating or suspecting us. It's possible he was killed as a coincidence, but I believe we should run under the assumption that this was done either because of his connection to us, or simple because he was heading towards us... It may no be personal, but that is the safer bet." He turned back to James, "In the case that this was tracked through you, you may want to warn any other allies you have to lay low. Again, better to be safe than sorry."

				Between Deadeye and Angelo you have worked out the EXACT time of DEATH. Jacob may cast his spell with precision. The party also notices drag marks leading to the dumpster from one end of the alley. Which means Donnie was killed elsewhere and the body dumped in their dumpster. The marks lead out to the street. You see a homeless guy on the corner begging for change. Maybe he saw something. Also the store across the street has a security camera pointing towards the alley that could hold evidence.

				After figuring out the time of death, Angelo mentally ran through the various bits and pieces of supernatural lore he had picked up from his time training under Faelean, and his time as a Mysterium mage. After a little thought, he came up with a decent theory. "Seeing as the cause of death was a complete blood drain, it's plausible-" Angelo was a large fan of Mythbusters-"that he was killed by a certain creature I remember reading about. A beast known as an 'Aswang', from the Philippines. Things would drain a man completely. However, that just raises a few questions-like why did the creature drag him into our alleyway, and what the fuck is a Southeast Asian creature doing in Boston? Would be like a Gumiho showing up in London..."

Staring wildly at the spot the goat crapped, he couldn't help but wonder of that was real or if his magic was messing with him. It didn't take him long to figure out that he had to have screwed up somehow, so he tried to just shrug it off, turn around and see how the others were doing. He walked out the front, and saw Pulse walking towards him, Ronia talking to the homeless man on the other side of the street. He looked into pulses eyes, and it was easy to tell that he had found something - hopefully not something relating to goats. Whatever he had found, it was probably more important than what Jacob had just witnessed. In order to quietly signal his failure, Jacob shook his head. "What about you?"

				Angelo had been lost in theory when Deadeye spoke up. "Oh, it's simple. Slash across the jugular vein, right there." He pointed out the vein. "Just make it look like a particularly deep cut and any forensic expert will believe you. Unless the examiner is also a Mage-at which point we have other problems." He looked over to Pulse and nodded. "At the very least, if we're over at the actual scene, we might figure out a few more things then we would here. But we shouldn't all go at once.

				Jacob would hear the other end of the phone pick up. A woman then said,"You have reached the Boston Police department. How may we help you?" Time to explain that you found Donnie dead in your dumpster.<br><br>&nbsp;As for Pulse and Ronia, the cheap motel up the street was really named "The Flophouse". It offers cramped rooms at cheap prices, but most customers like to rent by the hour and pay cash. Pulse would find an open spot to park out right out front. There is no one outside and bored looking Asian man behind the counter in the lobby reading a newspaper.

				Angelo hit the 'Net, looking for any traces of the Aswang creature to help support what he already knew. He realized that talking to the Mysterium would probably get him the results he needed a lot faster, but they tended to require something of equal value exchanged. Plus, self-discovery and improvement was something he did. His Googling resulted in the usual suspects for the most part-bad Twilight fanfiction, Tumblr blogs, crap without a grain of truth. There was some sites by conspiracy theorists and bigfoot hunters that actually DID contain bits of what Angelo needed, but only bits.

				What Dr. Angelo learned about the Aswang.<br><br>1. Aswang appear as human woman during the daylight hours. All Aswang are female and they do not sleep. At night they are hideous hags with razor sharp teeth.<br>2. Aswang are living creatures that can be killed the same way as humans.<br>3. Aswang need to feed on large amounts of human blood (15 points per week). They cannot gain sustenance from animal blood or food.<br>4. Aswang have Siren song that can attract men. Once the man sees the Aswang's hideous face the spell is broken. It must be used in person and don't work via telephone or recording.<br><br>

				Once the police departed, Angelo was quick to pull Deadeye and Jacob aside and explained about the Aswang. "Assuming I was correct about the Aswang-which, considering the footage we pulled from that security camera, I'm pretty sure we're on the right track-then we need to find it and eliminate it quickly. These things drink blood, like vampires, but they take a lot more-approximately 3 gallons of the stuff, which translates out to two adult males a week. To make matters worse, they have a powerful hypnotic song to lure in their catches." Angelo already theorized that the "Mental Shield" spell would be incredibly useful against them. "But, the good news: They don't have any special resistance to bullets or swords. So if you can get past the song and the razor sharp teeth, putting them down is easy. I know, easier said then done." He concluded. "Any questions?"

				&nbsp;Using the time of Death Ronia peers into the past. The red head sees the Murderess as she feeds on Donnie. The Aswang was hideous to put it bluntly. Her hair was clumped in gnarly strands.

After feeding on Donnie, her abdomen was bloated and her skin was flush with a red tinge.

"The people inside, they're not normal people. I wouldn't call them criminal, but I wouldn't dare say they aren't so. The men and women who walk in here without a care, they carry a bit more than pocket change..."<br><br>Jacob began to spin a tale of the terrifying customers the motel attracted, hoping that the tale would keep their intrigue for long enough for Pulse and Ronia to get away.

So here is the recap of what hapened thus far.<br><br>&nbsp;An aswang murdered Donnie by drinking all his blood and dumped his body in your dumpster. She also stole his car. During the day she looks like an attractive woman from the Philippians&nbsp; and she has a magic song that can manipulate men. So you can't discount she may have some guy as thralls working for her. Now you all need to make a plan and take this beast out.

				"So, do we have a plan besides 'hit the creature a zillion times and see what happens'?" Angelo asked, considering the options for dealing with the 'woman'. "We'll need some kind of non-lethal options if she has any thralls around. If we are going the direct route, well, I hope you've all been practicing your Shielding magic." The last bit was spoken with a little bit of dry sarcasm-he was well aware that a couple members of this cabal used the Hallow's mana to cast day long shield magic.
