Summary
The Rusty Stilletos managed to pull together some heavy wooj for a NYE wassail on Touristville. KE got word from the Crimson Crush and hired a small runner team to handle the gangers and big spiritual incursion.
Background
Glozier, a new powerhouse mage who joined the Stiletto's pulled off some massive bindings and survived, fueling his ascension in the gang. Tonight he was going somewhere between Holiday Wassailing and an attempted steamrolling of Southwestern Touristville by marching multiple chapterhouses together over to touristville with some radiation sponges and giant toxic spirits.
The Meet
The meet was simple, the met with Pawn Shop, a KE Street level fixer and "Hellsing" a mage who has been handling watchers around the Redmon barrens, who informed them of the problem. A massive toxic seen wandering towards Touristville and intel the stiletto's were on the move. The team negotiated up for a little more money and a range of gearing options as well as legal freedoms for doing the job, and quickly got onto the case.
The Plan
The gang packed up into a car and headed over to last known location in glow city, searching it astral and physically and finding the bunkhouse completely empty. They then moved on to using a combination of Geiger counters to follow the active radiation trail of the gang on the move, and the Catalog spell looking for the green robes they know belong to Glozier. This doesn't get them directly on the path, but does does put them on the incoming path when Glozier and the small army he has amassed come back the way they came on the way to touristville.
Once they figured out the block most likely to be an intersection the Rusty Stilletos would come across, the team set up numerous magical traps, preparations, and roadblocks.
Two cars made a bottleneck with a kilo of Plastique Explosives strapped toe each. Mutliple fling/bullet punch preps. A crossfire from the roof, and a F7 Guardian spirit with a solid gun there as extra assistance on the battlefield
The Run
The Stilletos arrived in force, Watchers noticing the spells, cleansing pool around alkali and various astral sigs, giving the gang a chance to take Kami and get read for a throwdown, though they did not expect it to be a very competent runner team with the sense to wait for it. Even with the forewarming, it did not stop Cleaner and Alkali from getting off some shots at some of the leadership and the large toxic astral spirit.
The combat went wild relatively quickly, with a F8 sludge the team was unaware of presenting itself early and the F9 Nuclear spirit being a bit more evasive. The mage was invisible, and using his gang to very good effect, hiding inside a mass of orks and trolls with astral and physical stealth. As he battle started he lobbed a toxic wave, forcing Alkali, Cleaner and Dez form their rooftop perch as the shock trips hit the explosives, killing most of them and knocking down a huge portion of wall.
A combination of Dez's influence and Krime runners prepped with Napalm Veles' Grenade and a massive Slash from Alkali made short work of the majority of the shock troops. The Nuclear spirit continuing to chase around Alkali's guardian, nearly missing, as Dez' makes a slide with physical barrier preps to get off the roof, and triggers a bullet prep flinged with a punch prep on it. Knocking out a Radiation sponged troll.
The Mage wung an elemental grenade, forcing CC to tackle Alkali off the roof and taking the brunt of impact for the two of them. At this point the team scrambles. Alkali creates an illsuion to shield them and help CC set his gun back up. The Spirit lobs some more attacks ad Veles dances with an adept who cannot find her, and the team continued to plink at the remaining gangers. When the second radiation sponge fell, and an exceptional pistol shot from Veles took out the Nuclear spirit, CC shot down the adept and Veles manage to snipe the mage unconscious, netting them a small bonus reward from the west coast monilith.
Alkali did his best at some cleansing and the gang got the hell out of Glow City before reinforcements could arrive.
Aftermath
The Stilettos are back to square one after losing a powerful new leadership figure, with a lot of hate towards the runners on this job. The team took a payout from the Pawnshop and had the sense to tag eraser all their gear. Touristvile remains status quo.

Game Quotes
Player After Action Reports (AARs)
Dez: "Aah, that reminds me of the good old days. Well, if my job was done right, I didn't have to be so flashy...But the most fun missions were when things went wrong. A shame about the toxics, of course, but well...At some point, you can't let yourself feel bad for the madmen trying to take down society, if you want to protect it."
