"Water of Life", Part 1: The Eye of Thoth (continued)

|

We played Promethean again tonight. Less happened this time, as we didn't really get started until almost 8:00.

The group went to the address the werewolves gave them. It was a butcher shop with some warehouse space behind it. Marcus and Rose went inside while Han set himself up on top of the next building to watch the alley.

Inside, the pair found an extremely attractive shop girl. Partially to distract her and mostly just because she was hot, Marcus tried hitting on her. It took some perseverance (and some Pyros), but he enticed her into a dalliance.

Meanwhile, Rose snuck into the back and had a look around. She found an encrypted CD-ROM in the office, which she pocketed. Then she went upstairs and found a ratty apartment. The place felt sad and lonely, and when she went into the bedroom, she felt a strange emptiness in her abdomen. The bed had a dark stain on the sheets.

Suddenly, she felt a strange sensation in the air. A man stepped out of nowhere into the middle of the room. He saw her and bolted, blocking the bedroom door with the refrigerator. She called for Han's help and gave chase.

Downstairs, Marcus and the shop girl (who we learn is named Charlotte) were getting to know each other in the office. Marcus heard the man run downstairs and shout for Charlotte to call the police. Charlotte pushed Marcus off and tried to compose herself. She ran out, and Marcus saw the man opening a trunk on the other side of the room. Marcus hid with Chameleon Skin (legitimately naked, too).

Rose got downstairs and moved closer to see what's in the trunk. When she approached, the man slashed her with a knife, and she felt invisible hands clawing at her, but they couldn't get a hold.

Han crashed through the glass door at the back of the warehouse and tried to slide-tackle the man with the knife. Marcus got to his gun and unloaded a few rounds into him. Finally, Rose dropped him with a vicious kick to the head, but he came to a second later, shifted form into a wolf and ran away, leaving his knife behind.

Rose examined the trunk and found a light pistol, a few bricks of C4, and assorted trinkets. She took the gun and gave Marcus the explosives. The group then bugged out, assuming the police would be alerted to the gunshots.
