The Game is Afoot

Era beginning/end

First Session

Friedrich discovers Udon has an interesting artifact (besides Talbot's box), and Udon's roommate Terry has some interesting secrets.

The group teams up to hunt down out of town werewolves that stole Sam's cat while looking for Talbot's box.

Sam Blackwell returned to their apartment to find it broken into. Their game console, some booze, and, more importantly, their cat Grey were missing. They recruited Udon, who lived in an apartment downstairs, to help look for the cat.

Meanwhile, Talbot Marlot was trying to confirm with Udon that the magical box she was keeping for him was still safe. Hijinks ensued as their ships passed in the night, and Talbot recruited Friedrich Gottschalk's help in finding Udon.

While investigating Udon's apartment, Friedrich found a perfect crystal orb and was magically mentally trapped in its depths for an hour or more. When he escaped its grasp, he was starving and fed on Terry, Udon's roommate, pseudo-patron, and the lease holder on the apartment. Intrigued, Friedrich is mildly obsessed with both the orb and Terry.

Eventually, Sam and Udon discovered the burglars were a pack of werewolves, recently arrived from Seattle, known as the Sea Wolves. Tracking them to the storage units on Highway 280 and Como, they called in backup. Sam, Udon, Talbot, and Friedrich rolled in to negotiate, but ended up fighting the pack. Five werewolves were killed and three escaped. Sam rescued Grey, but left their game system in the quick escape.
