Summary
Sir Reginald, a Refined shifter of Mysterious Origins, places a request on shadowhaven to investigate the death of his favorite butler, Jeralt. The information was limited, only knowing the last place he came up on Radar. The party investigates, finding two bodies and an Eldritch evil that attempted to kill them.
Background
Sir Reginald Lives in a Manor in a secret location, mostly to avoid interactions with the authorities. To maintain this secrecy he has a specific list of staff that is allowed in and out of the premises. The loss of one of these staff members is very noticeable as a result. Unable to call the police due to risk of investigation, Reginald decides to call some runners, as he recalls having positive experiences with some of them twenty years ago when he wasn't retired.
The Meet
The team met in the matrix, a high Victorian building of British architecture designed to look like a restaurant. After some brief introductions, the Johnson appears on one of the tables, informing them to the fine details, place of lost contact, and providing them contacts to get in touch with to get into the targets place of residence.
The Plan
The teams plan was very adlib, but as it was legwork, that was to be expected. They went to his place of residence first, and searched the place. After finding some unusual clues and talking to the neighbors, they came to the conclusion that he did not live alone, a shadier individual who was potentially a technomancer was also living at the home. Additional information from the Johnson getting back to them further create suspicion that it was his dead son. Now armed with the new information, they decided it was time to head into the woods, and investigate where he was last located.
This proved to be a little difficult due to the Sheer amount of noise in the region, a Woodland area W Zone Outside Puyallup. After talking there way past the rangers on the edge, they moved in proper, and found a cabin in the woods. They found empty automatic defenses and a mana barrier surrounding the property, and upon entering, asked a contact to open up the devices stationed in the corner. When he did he confirmed the presence of resonance signatures, confirming once again that the second party was a technomancer.
The feed inside the cabin confirmed the Johnson's presence, restocking the fridge, and leaving, only to return shortly in a Panic until morning, where he tries to swiftly flee the property, seeing deer all about watching them.
The Run
Deciding to follow a path they found suspicious, they go in only 20 feet before they find there targets body, uneaten but mangled by something VERY strong and sharp. They immediately prepare to leave, hearing noises begin from deep in the woods, a long forlorn baying in the dark. The team tries to escape, getting tin the car and driving away, but a massive spirit materializes and tries to flip the car while its in motion. Through some quick driving skills, Reapsaw stopped it from rolling, only going onto its side and skidding a bit. The team sprung into action, engaging the herculean monstrosity as it Bayed at them menacingly! Many bullets were fired this combat, no magical support to breach its Supernatural body, forcing the team to batter it down slowly as it slammed its claws down over and over on Lurker, who took it in stride, seemingly getting stronger and stronger the more wounds he took. As hulking as the beast was, enough lead poisoning will fell most things on this earth, and so too did it finally fall.
Aftermath
They left the beast to fade back into the astral

Mojo Joe: "To say the least the run was more intensive than I thought. The spirits in particular that day were very... fiesty. Some more so than others. My body is still not feeling too well but I am managing to slowly recover. I will also say that Hibiscus fellow is great company... if a bit vague and weird at times. And that fellow in the jumpsuit was an extraordianry combatant. I am honored to have seen him fight. Hopefully I may be able to go on a run with them again sometime!"
