I ran a game where a group of runners was hired to put a drug into
Portland's water, then black out the city and raise hell until the rioting
took over. The meet was deep in Glow City, Redmond, but they didn't know
that the bar in question was a Alamos 20K meeting hall. Violence ensued, and
at the peak, Mr Johnson turned up. Anyway, after much fun, the riots had
blocked the runners in, and they were getting worried. Then the wraith
turned up and made things even worse. The rioting reached its peak, and the
wraith ballooned out and kind of burst, but then returned to tell everyone
thanks for the energy, and by the way, they are all Horror-marked now. What
I figured is that wraiths are like the larval form of horrors. Enough energy
and they become fully fledged horrors.
