Summary

An Aztechnology exec with a potent blood magic artifact is about to take a pleasure cruise on an Aztechnology owned ship. A notorious pirate wants the gem and hired our runners through an intermediary to get it for her.

Background

A potent and initiated blood mage was going on vacation out of Aztlan and the Golden Hind wants a minor artifact blood ruby she typically has on her person. Flavia Sosa, an initiated aztechnology executive had plans on performing a massive blood ritual in the Bermuda triangle, given the team a chance to catch her in a less protected position than in Aztlan proper to attempt and steal the stone.

The Meet

The meet took place in a host, and went relatively quickly and well. With limited description the team put together that the target was likely a blood magic foci and the owner was almost certainly an initiated blood mage and the cruise was heading for the Bermuda Triangle. Gigabite at this point was furiously struggling and seizing through most of the meet, due to interaction with VR. Ultimately the team made some convincing arguments, backed up by Gigabite and got a solid information package and pay upgrade out of the deal.

The Plan

Get to Havanna, get on the boat, probably kill the blood mage. This is about as far of an organized plan as our team had it with each other, and went ham on ship to find ways to make it work.

Game Quotes

Player After Action Reports (AARs)

Poe "Go onto a cruise ship without my guns, my heavy armor, or my regular spiritual accomplices, to steal a Blood Magic artifact from a Blood Mage, and don't risk my David Cartel contacts. Somehow we pulled this off. I feel a little bad about how murderous I had to get to make it work, but the world is almost certainly better without that woman."
