Final Resting Cycle

Morning at the Sect

 * Ronny at her house, jaime and callum at the sect, Idris at the sect
 * Holster wants to meet in the common room to talk about a possible lead

Holster tells the group:

“Last week 2 women were reported missing, urban explorers The Northkeep Crematorium, abandoned for years. The investigators also went missing, and black smoke was seen coming out of the building’s chimney the next day.”

Terryl and Idris do their “beginning of session” moves


 * Idris has a vision: unclear, looking thru cloudy water, a dark figure surrounded by black smoke, many more appear
 * Terryl has an unsettling feeling about having to put something in the fire that you love

A New Arrival
Surprise! Emmett’s here!

Jaime opens the door, introduces Emmett to all of the hunters (he’s very frazzled lmao)

Jaime and Callum - motorcycle, Callum is worried Jaime will break his bike, Jaime reassures him it’ll be fine, they still need to fix the electrics at home

Ronny, Terryl, Emmett, Idris - Ronny’s pickup truck

They all introduce Emmett to the concept of the sect, Terryl compares Holster to the teacher from MHA, Ronny explains that it’s a bit weird that Emmett is already out on missions. Emmett explains that he’s sorta in a witness protection program - sent by the Manchester sect to the Boston sect

Everyone’s shitting on Murphy again, Terryl pulls out the flaming sword, Ronny gets a lil peeved. Terryl makes a short joke about Emmett and then makes ''fun of Holster for being a weak bitch. I’m in love.''

Terryl claims to be “about 79”, or “maybe 160” “older than 19” “definitely 32”- Ronny and Emmett are Confused

Northkeep Crematorium

 * Park on the side of the street
 * Neglected area of the city
 * Row of abandoned buildings, very large, run down, faded bricks, cracked concretes. There’s dead ivy on the front, why is the ivy dead. There’s snow!

Terryl opens their wings, Emmett is excited

Callum looks in the windows, Jaime tries to find a way in but can’t find one. Callum looks inside and sees abandoned furniture. The floor is weirdly clean! ''Callum and Jaime place a bet on what it’ll be, Jaime thinks fae, Callum thinks undead. Emmett comes up and scares them.''

Emmett peeks inside, to investigate a mystery


 * Room appears to just exist like this, it hasn’t been arranged

With a final declaration of “It’s gonna be fairies!!” Jaime opens the window and the three idiots climb inside

Wolfgang does his guardian move to see what’s going on. Under the crematorium he sees a room, probably the basement, cannot see into the room. Room has always been a part of the building plan, on original documents. Advises Ronny to keep The Boys from getting into the basement yet.

Waiting Room

 * Jaime, Callum, Emmett, and Terryl pile through the window
 * Callum does a smelly smell and tries to get a read on where the creature went
 * The smell is burning and ickyyyy
 * Suddenly, thumping noises

Hallway

 * Jaime steps into the hallway, and sees an uncanny valley creature slamming its head into the wall
 * Everyone piles in after him
 * The creature at the end of the hall looks human, but something is Wrong. It’s not a monster, it’s a humanoid creature that’s covered in smoke
 * Terryl tries to use soothe, the creature’s head snaps towards Terryl, and it raises the table leg to attack
 * Callum, Jaime, Emmett RUN down the hallway to back up Terryl
 * Emmett runs up to protect Terryl, jumping in front of them, gets hit by the falling flaming table leg, takes some harm
 * Callum enchants Jaime’s sledgehammer, Jaime tries to pin the creature with his sledgehammer
 * (Idris is back behind with Ronny, who’s pointing her gun at it, Wolfgang is just coming in the front doors, the rest are running at it)
 * Jaime pins it to the wall, and the smoke wraps around his arm. As it does, it burns him (2 HARM), and he gains -1 ongoing due to the pain. Emmett unloads into the creature, the smoke clears for a moment to show a human skull.
 * Callum investigates a mystery, doin a BIG OLE SNIFF
 * Callum sees that the creature was a cadaver encased in smoke
 * Hasn’t seen this smoke before
 * The smoke appears to be reanimating this body
 * Callum traps it to the wall using magic, Jaime tries to talk to it. This does not work. Terryl beheads the cadaver, the smoke dissipates. It is once again a body on the ground.

''Callum heals Jaime. The body was a tall, stocky man. Had dark, matted hair, sickly pale and rotting flesh, glossed over eyes. Ronny and Emmett go to investigate the body. The man is barefoot, and there’s a white tag hanging off one of his toes. This was more than likely a dead body that was meant to be burned.''

(At this point, Logan speaks up and we all realize she’s thought this was an ice cream factory this entire time and we all lose it, thren take a break)

Suddenly, a scraping noise in the room. The door opens, and a woman yells at the party. This is Danielle King, one of the missing people. Eva Bouchard stands next to her.

Danielle believes that she and Eva have been in the room for only a day. It’s been a week in hunter time. Ronny explains that they’ve been gone for a week,


 * Eva seems to find it interesting that there’s supernatural happenings.
 * Ronny organizes the hunters to try and get these two outside
 * Wolfgang investigates to find out whether there’s wards and letting them out of this space
 * The hunters go back to….

Back to the Waiting Room

 * The window is closed now, and a piece of yellowed paper sits on the desk, dated “December 5, 1991”. It’s a two-week notice for the maintenance man, who doesn’t want to be there anymore. Keeps hearing things in the basement
 * Crematorium closed 2 months later, closed because of bad business rep.
 * Building was bought, then sold to city of Boston, the man died very quickly
 * Wolfgang realizes that everything started going wrong when the circuit breaker was replaced in October of 1991.
 * Jaime tries to get out, door, window, break the window, nothing opens
 * Callum begins to check for wards
 * Emmet finds old newspaper clippings, company might be facing lawsuits because bodies have been going missing

Time to Plan

 * Jaime, Ronny, Emmett, Wolfgang go down into the basement
 * Idris, Callum, Terryl stay at the top of the stairs with the innocents

''The party reaches the crematorium, and it is incredibly dark. Weirdly dark. Emmett asks Terryl to light their sword. The party lights their flashlights!''

The Columbarium

 * Nothing of note, yet

The Crematorium Proper

 * The furnace is burning, and there’s a group of 6 of the monsters around the furnace
 * Terryl and Callum go in to attack them, Callum shifts (too many claws), Terryl sword, everyone readies
 * FIGHT!
 * Terryl stabs one, Callum throws one into the furnace, with Jaime’s help!
 * The creatures move like a flipbook with missing pages
 * Idris wind blasts the thing
 * Wolfgang chucks one into the fire
 * Terryl tosses the last one in with their sword? I think? I zoned out lol

The Basement

 * Emmett does not believe Holster is a vampire, Jaime realizes he shouldn’t have said anything, Callum yells at the party to get going
 * There’s a window in a door at the bottom of the stairs, Jaime tries to look through and fails the roll
 * The walls are covered in soot? Emmett guides the party into this hallway

''Cutaway to Terryl: Terryl needs to burn something valuable. They have to burn their sunglasses, and begins to explain its gonna be weird to Callum. Callum gives them a scrap of fabric to cover their face. There’s a very sweet moment between Callum and Terryl, about backing each other up. I have a headache, it did not comprehend, I am so sorry.''


 * Big old server looking thing in the basement?
 * Lots of wires???
 * Jaime begins yoinkin wires, and then electrical wires came down to hold him against the wall
 * Ronny cut the wires, and now it wants to yank da axe
 * Emmett gets the vibes that the structure of the building is what’s haunted now
 * And promptly shoots the circuit breaker
 * It works really well
 * Jaime tries to do the same thing, and fucks it up
 * But wahtever, the party does it and breaks this thing
 * All the smoke rushes into the circuit breaker, and there’s a thumping, like a heartbeat
 * There’s demonic runes all on the inside
 * “Death, Rebirth, Rift”
 * Ronny cuts the heart in half after pouring holy water on it
 * Wolfgang takes photos of the sigils, then the rest of the party wipes off the sigils
 * The party cautiously reunites
 * When everyone goes back, the building appears to be much more of a mess
 * Leave, it’s 4am
 * Yall know the drill
