Violet, Daniela, and Esme were trapped in a upper level manager's office with only one way out. Despite Legion wreaking havoc on the warehouse floor, one gang member went to check out the squeaky door near the manager's office at the back of the warehouse. The women were unable to hide from their assailant, but Esme was able to throw the door back on the gang member as he pulled his gun on Violet. The gun fell to the floor inside the office and the women barred the door.
Violet convinced Esme to take the gun and push past their assailant to escape the office. The three made their way down the stairs to the exit as Legion exploded the last two lights in the warehouse. Legion spoke from the darkness, "Are you listening Josué? I will find her." The voice moved about the warehouse as it spoke, "I alone - and you - you will pay for this evening’s deception, you will pay with your life."
Josué began emptying the clip in his handgun, spraying bullets in every direction. The women rushed to the exit. Daniela punched the exit door and the warehouse's fire alarm lit up with horns and strobe lights. For an instant everyone's eyes was on them as they fled the building.
Outside Esme threw the handgun that she had used to escape the office to the ground. Violet quickly recovered the weapon and the three of them ran down the alley towards Esme's car which parked 3 blocks away. As they rounded the corner of the alley and into a vacant parking lot two men burst through the back door of the warehouse in pursuit. The women made it across the parking lot with enough of a lead to find a hiding spot in the next alley behind a garbage dumpster.
Their gamble paid off and their pursuers ran right past them. As they hid they could hear the faint sound of sirens in the distance. The police were on their way because of the alarm. Since Familia was fleeing from the cops, the women decided the safest place to be was nearer the warehouse. They worked their way back to the warehouse without problem.
Just as they reached the first alley they had fled from the back door to the warehouse opened again, this time four members of Familia came out. The woman couldn’t see them, but they could hear them. The four men argued about which way the woman had run. As the sirens grew louder the four men split into two groups and decided to flee. Two men took a side way out, but two men came right down the alley towards the vacant parking lot towards Violet, Daniela, and Esme.
The women scrambled to hide but there was nowhere to go. They crammed themselves behind a garbage bin but the two Familia saw them almost immediately. To their surprise, one of the two men was Rudy. The other man pulled his gun and approached the three women. Rudy urged his gang brother to leave them and run, but he wouldn’t let them go. Rudy finally pulled his own gun and pointed it at his gang brother. As the two squared off against each other Violet stood up and pulled her gun as well. Outnumbered, the gang brother was forced to let the women go. Violet, Daniela, and Esme reluctantly followed Rudy’s orders and escaped around a corner leaving Rudy alone, guns drawn with his gang brother. Moments after leaving, two guns shots in rapid succession rang out back in the vacant parking lot.
In the chaos of the confrontation Esme dropped her property key ring and Daniela recovered them. Daniela decided separate from Violet and Esme to check out the warehouse before the police arrived. Esme agreed to get the car and pick her up at the front door as quickly as she could. Daniela made her way around the block, located the key to the door, and slipped inside the warehouse through the front door.
The strobe and horn were still blaring as she stepped in. Daniela had only a minute to explore the scene. She found a pile of dust gathered in a loose pile where Josué had stood. She also found another pile at the feet of one of the gang members who had been shot behind some boxes, and another near the body of another fallen Familia member. The sirens grew louder and Daniela was forced to catch her ride and leave before the police arrived. Esme pulled up with the car as Daniela exited the front door.

Three things:
ReplyDelete1. Remember we are meeting THIS Saturday at 3:30 to play again!
2. Bozena, you need to rename your Aspect "spirituality" to something else that better reflects the use of the Aspect.
3. I screwed up something last session. I want to point it out because it's a matter of mechanics. When Bozena made it known that she wanted Esme to drop her keys, I should not have made her roll for it. Esme dropping her keys is a "narrative request" and therefore should be granted by way of using a FATE point. When your as a player want to dictate the circumstance of a scene you should use a FATE point to allow the circumstance to happen. It's a guaranteed thing, no rolling should be required, no skill will help it. What she did with the keys was dictated by the dice, but her getting them should not have been.
A FATE point can also be used to create an "improvised weapon." If you search for a baseball bat, that's a skill (Searching). But if you are grappling with a bad guy and you want to jab him in the face with nearby brick or shard of glass you would use a FATE point to acquire the weapon (since you cannot search while fighting), and then roll to attack with it.
I hope this makes sense. Read the small bit about how to use FATE points in your Fate book if you get a chance.
You don't necessarily need to post it to the blog, but you should create a list of things that you want to investigate, or people you want to talk to, or events that you want to happen over then next two sessions. I have very little information that I will be giving you through the plot lines I have planned. This is your chance to shape and control the complete content of the game.
ReplyDeleteSee you Saturday at Bozena's at 3:30pm.
