Session 15 - Everybody Has Their Limits, Nobody's Found Mine

by Locke

Fynlan goes home, and the doors and windows no longer open to his home. They are now portals to the Grey Sun. Locke has been banned from all libraries, bookshops and learning establishments in Satyrine because they all thing he's an uncontrolled Logovore. Gwyn hears a scratching at his door, and his apprentice has had the shit beat out him. Simone finds that people in her neighborhood who were not yet a part of the Neighborhood Association are now actively against her, because they've heard bad things about her. Simone finds out from her neighbor that she's been badmouthed by a tall dude with eyes that look like night.
 
I talk to Heironymous, and help him remember... it was a vislae, who seemed remarkably threatening, Resting Hitman Face. Tall man, eyes like the night.
 
Gwyn finds out that it's a goon named Dark-Eyed Manfred. Locke looks into what happened with Fynlan, and finds out that he ran to the Pale, scared. Gwyn turns his house into a person, packs up his whole crew, and comes over to Locke's house. He forgot the guy's name, though.
 
We figure it out again, do a bunch of research. He's Dark-eyed Manfred, we make a wanted poster of him. Gwyn talks to the Makers, confirms dude is an assassin.
 
I bunch of stupid stuff happens. Eventually I divine that Dark Eyes Manfred will the next night be at the Park of the Path. Simone and Locke go to talk to the Knights of the Name, as they seem likely to be arrayed against the Vespertine Order.
 
Simone and I go to speak wih the Knights of the Name, and there we meet a woman named Kiana. We explain the situation. She offers to send someone to help us. This is a sword-wielding woman whose name is literally missing from the world. (We are using the word KÅ«haku as a placeholder.)
 
We rest up, and go to Dark-Eyed Manfred's house. He has two level 8 demons, hiding invisibly, outside. I destroy them with Kaleidoscopic Void. Fynlan shoots down the front door. Gwyn runs in. I take Fushigiri in my hands and work on the puzzle of activating it... I'm not quite sure how, but I have an idea... I sacrifice a Wound, and unsheathe it. Coruscating with energy and the essence of blood.
 
Gwyn shoots Dark-Eyed Manfred down. I resurrect him then eat his mind, learning that he was hired by the Vespertine Order, but he doesn't know who. He was supposed to notify them when we signed a non-interface contract with the Vespertine Order by casting a ritual to make it stick. I take possession of him.
