MoM Session 5: The Four of Swords
General Summary
May 16, 1994 - Monday
With less than a day to rest after their trip to Boston, the cabal was already back to investigating the series of strange paradoxes around town. With Tiresias' deadline just a couple days away, the party split up once again to cover more ground. Morgan and Slush checked out the fish that had rained down onto Bradford Beach from Lake Michigan, while Morgan wasn't able to speak with the fish he learned what the moments leading up to their deaths were like and discovered a source of arcane energy emanating from the Bank Center buidling in downtown Milwaukee. Slush got to witness Morgan snuff out the spirits of several hundred fish in a matter of seconds, a feat that left him conflicted about the company he was keeping. Meanwhile Medea and Rembrandt headed to a less savory part of downtown to investigate the site where a junkie named Michael had 'raptured', leaving behind nothing but his clothes. Medea got a homeless person to talk about Michael's last moments, how he'd heard a scream from several blocks away and raced over only to find a pile of clothes. Medea harnessed the powers of fate to get a crystal clear picture of the moment of Michael's rapturing, watching him vanish from existence as a wave of paradox consumed him. During the vision she noticed a large rat racing down an alleyway headed downtown, so with a clearheaded sense of urgency she started walking downtown towards the Bank Center. When the cabal realized that their separate investigations had led them to the same location, they decided to beef up their security and treat their investigation like a full-on stakeout. The cabal charged up on mana at the Free Council's union hall, afterwards renting out a hotel room with a good view of the Bank Center. Rembrandt and Morgan beefed the hotel room up with an incredible amount of wards and protections, taking no chances with an entity clearly capable of wielding so much paradox. That same evening Medea had a meeting with Jophiel, telling the Silver Ladder all about the chaos in Milwaukee and how the Consilium needed to intervene and take things over from the Free Council. Jophiel happily obliged, promising reinforcements and a speedy (but not speedy enough for Medea) takeover of Milwaukee. In return Medea would have plenty of access to Silver Ladder resources in the Chicago Consilium. The Acanthus mage started heading back to the hotel room, but suddenly a storm of apples started raining down from the sky around the Bank Center...
