Rosemary's Baby

Post Run Debriefing

3/27-3/29/55 On the September 2nd session we learned that Spritle (or Ulysses if you prefer) was born as the result of some dark 'blood magic' ritual ('ala Rosemary's Baby). Through some judicious questioning of sources (and a level 9 astral quest) we've figured out that this child is the actual embodiment of the splintered DFTZ city spirit. This supposedly explains why certain aspects of the city have been trying to kill or capture the kid.

3/30/55 In a meet that firmly defined rule #3 (Never go to a meet without magical backup), Shadow & Sparky were ambushed by Feather (an Aztlan initiate) and his ally (a feathered serpent). Shadow got extremely lucky and Sparky got kidnapped.
In an attempt to track down the folks looking for Spritle (and coincidentally make 200k) Morgaine was very nearly drop shipped to Aztlan in a suborbital...a highly unpleasant prospect to say the very least. (Rule #4: Never go ANYWHERE without some kind of backup)

3/31/55 The Sept 16th gaming session didn't do too much for ol' Sparky, who remains kidnapped. Morgaine repeated her 'stupid human trick' to quote Mike, and masked as Spritle again... this time getting into a magic showdown with Smoke at the UCAS/Aztlan border crossing (fortunately this landed her, still looking like Spritle, in the UCAS jail). Further attempts at finding someone locally who can shed some more light on what options we have with respect to Spritle haven't been terribly helpful. Looking outside seems our best shot at this point, so Legion, Morgaine, and Spritle are going to be catching a sub-orbital to Germany to speak to the Daughters of the Moon. If this doesn't work, maybe we can just sell the kid off for parts... Darkheart would certainly be thrilled.

4/01/55 So who says that getting decapitated has to be fatal? (Not to be too harsh on Sparky and despite some truly excellent rolls by Doc, I think that the necromantic nature of Sparky's decapitation probably would have precluded any sort of revival...magic based on consumption of spirit energy and all that). In the meantime some other mage (ie not Feather) has flown off with Spritle...it keeps getting better, but we now have rule #5 "Don't let the rigger get out of the car"

Final status...Sparky: ICU; Everyone else OK.
