Blood Revenant (Daria Antunez de Prieto) Joe Hess | None | None | ||||||||
Background
About two years ago the Aztlan blood mage Daria Antunez de Prieto went rogue and escaped to the Redmond Barrens seeking to continue her depraved experiments. Her plans were short-lived however after a particularly headstrong gang known as the Leathernecks hunted her down and killed her, suffering heavy losses in the process. With her final breath however she cursed them and her vengeful spirit formed a Blood Revenant. After slaughtering the rest of the Leatherneck's commanders, it went free and sought to sustain itself with the suffering of the Barrens' people. Eventually it found the unhinged killer Joe Hess and influenced him, whispering into his mind and granting him ritual knowledge to help it grow in power.
Meet
The runners made their way to a grimy dockside bar in Tacoma. Private Investigator Anthony Mercer was waiting for them, giving them the details on Joe Hess's ritualistic killing spree. They agree to aid him in this task for minimal pay and the group leaves with him to continue the investigation.
Run
The group's first stop was a morgue in Touristville which held the body of Hess's latest victim. Weaver and 'A' analyzed the mangled corpse, finding evidence of blood magic rituals haphazardly applied to it. This was further corroborated by looking at the other victims up to this point. Memnoch finds clues regarding Daria from two years ago and the runners see similarities between this spree and hers. Going on information from Anthony while he goes to KE to find more information on Daria Vulcan, Weaver, and Memnoch head to Redmond and the building where Daria was killed. 'A' meanwhile calls a powerful Air Spirit to help track down an astral signature they found clinging to the corpse. The three in Redmond find Daria's body and discover the same signature faintly showing on her bones as well. The spirit tracks it down to a strange cabin in Snohomish.
Gathering their gear the runners approach the cabin and enter it, with Vulcan "finding" access to water main that runs beneath the building. Enter the tunnels they start to really feel an intense background count and follow the feelings of death and torture to their source. They find Hess in the middle of sacrificing another young metahuman and Vulcan breaks him in a bear hug. Memnoch mercifully puts both the sacrifice and Hess out of their misery. This rouses the Blood Revenant which cackles and using an Astral Rift pulls the party into its metaplane.
Once there, the runners are each initially subjected to their worst fears. 'A', now controlled by Shiru
Aftermath
An international identity thief was killed and the Stanton paydata returned to the company. Carter soon found another girl to drape across his arm.
