I would add spoilers, as Mike (Airwisp) is in the game as well, as a player,
not a GM for this upcomer...but I, unlike many others, have come to discover I
can trust Mike....and as for Tobias, Barbie and Duncan...hey, this will only
make them squirm...

Oh Elton, how utterly droll....how's this for a twist???

The group is trying to prepare for the final showdown with the patron of
Winternight (in my games, it's Jormundagandr the Midgard Serpent). They know
they cannot even begin to confront such a thing directly, even with the
armaments on the Aircraft Carrier (THANK YOU CYBERPIRATES!!!!!) on their
side....so they have been working diligently for the last year and half in the
games for the ritual known only as "Summon the Lord of Hosts"....

Requirements...

"Rod of the First Priest" (aka, the Rod of Moses)
"the Law of God" (which is the Ten Commandments...in this case, they find them
hidden in the lid of ....)
"the Vessel in Which the Flesh of God is Contained" (aka....the Arc of the
Covenant, which they now have all of, including the discovery of the "dusty
sand" in the Ark itself...which when you add water becomes a clay that when
you make little "army soldier figures" out of, they get up and run away....can
you say, the "Clay of Creation?")

This must be done from someplace above their enemy....oh, this is going to be
good....the fight is going to happen in the North Atlantic amidst the biggest
ice flows Mother Earth has seen in -hundreds-, perhaps -thousands- of years
(gotta love drama).

4 Major PC's have already "given it their all" in order to recover the "Law
of
God" and restory the lost Ark's powers....and when I mean major, I mean MAJOR
(500+ karma character's here folks).

Two of the PC's have already had one encounter with 'Gandra' (shortened name)
and they lost in utter humiliation and ran for their lives on a Steed of the
Hunt (the Hunt being one of the character's Initiated Astral Contacts).
Another (Binder in the Dark, my enchanter, has gone blind when his prize
enchantment literally "blew up" on top of him).

PBEM Crossovers.....giggle.....this is the good part....

The PBEMers are on their way to Aztlan or already there...where a mana storm
of category "5" just struck downtown. Three of the character's are on their
way into the "Tower of Finance", the Temple of Tezcatlipoca, via direct
infiltration (aka, assuming they are someone else) and the others (the main
group) are about to crawl out of their storm bunker and get into direct action
(next chapter coming soon guys).

Main Storyline Again....giggle....

A CAS special forces team is on the way to Tenochtitlan with a body
bag....only a few have even considered what is coming back....

Lady Liberty's Torch just exploded, now burning brightly with "True Fire" (you
EDers should get the idea)....for all to see...the stand alone Loci that she
represents is definitely going "hot site".

-=-=-=-

(sighing) I feel better now....too bad I can't smoke any cigarettes....this
-IS- better than sex...and I'm a nymphomaniac...
