I believe my time as occult specialist is best spent studying the artifacts pulled up off the coast of Africa, starting with the book(s). (Didn't the one update say a set of four?) I find them most curious, as the recovery of books from underwater is an unusual occurrence. I'm hoping the books will have some mention of the properties of the other two items.

I can make myself available to assist the interrogation of the magic users if somebody wishes, but it appears to me that they are hired help. While flashy, their abilities are not on a par with the 'soul bomb' constructor. Even that monstrosity is built from standard principles of sympathy: bones to attract and entrap dead souls, a living trigger to target a particular group. Its purpose is certainly chilling, and we are right to fear there will be more; but if our magic replay didn't show anything useful at the scene of the crime then more traditional methods of finding madmen will have to be employed. Either that or some sympathetic magic of my own, but (so far as I know) I have no key item from which to cast a finding spell.

I can't think of anything we need on my front sense we have soldiers and equipment now.

Yep it is a set of 4 magic books, a snake themed staff, and a bone dagger made from “something” as despite the obvious age, it is in fine condition, as if brand new.


Only reason not updating it (which counts as free.)

Is the engineer department and science should work on stuff.

Edit: The Spy Master could go 24 on the prisonersvfor info too.

Before we get the interrogation started, implement CCEP and increase the number of covert agents to 20.

As for the interrogation, offer to employ the prisoners if they tell us everything they know about the Priesthood of Hell, especially information about who hired them. Should they resist, pressure them by telling them that one of them has accepted the offer. Should they still refuse, cancel the job offer and request that the Occultist helps with the interrogation.

Spies hired: 13/20 ( 20 die roll)

As for the three:

The guy who got his shit stolen: 9/12. Shaken but willing to tell what he knows.

Aura Hand woman: 10: Honestly the most composed of the bunch Looks interested at thought of being hired.

Jack aka Aces Cousin: 3/12. He is not helpful at all, making a ass of himself, insulting people, threw a chair and broke it and magiced a burning middle finger behind him while laughing.

Danny/Ace: He is a Mad Dog, After all.

( No Dice result here. Rp it out and then dice if things, happen.)

Jack: So your the guy that stole Williams Daemon suit. Like how cool is that? Try that shit on me and the suit will go to me. Besides, something tells me you got to touch me for that. I will give you one tidbit of info. I made the bomb and the trigger. Taught, but yeah that display of violence? It was me. And furthermore the souls used in that mission besides the Priest were dead hookers, thanks to yours truly.”

What a foul so u a birch they got hold of.

“ So tell me, what’s your offer? How are you going to make me talk? Because who is to say your incharge here?”


The other two were in s different room.

Will: Shut Up Jack and play nice! They kept us alive!

Ava: He.. is full of shit. Not about the thing with bones and hearts. But, what could he do?


Danny: Shoulda killed him. Cousin of mine.

"Oh, don't worry. I have no need to take any abilities you may possess."

Pick him up by the throat and suffocate him for a bit, then drop him onto his chair.

Success rate: 1/12... ffffff

Plot:

After this happens and he is slammed to the table. He laughed it off like Ledgers Joker and replies. “ If you harm the mind, how would you get conherent information out of me?” As he then smirks and makes a effigy symbol at the table and strikes it with his left hand, it breaks apart as two man sized white eyeless demons poop out of existence to slam into him. Meanwhile he mutters gibberish and runs into wall, to go into the wall.

Said monsters  punched him at same time for a blow so hard leaves a crackling crater in wall. Suit took the blunt of it. Alarm was on as we got a situation. Silly freaks out, his suit wa his magic. Ava got up.

“ Never likes that asshole.” Manifests four massive glow arms, cracking knuckles as the search’s starts. “ Follow me, with my presence magic I am locked on.

Jack Escape: 2/12 (!Failure)

Jack runs off like a mad man, pumps into human form David, the big man was like a steel vault as Jack fell down pumping into him, The a Leviathan Spawn Looks him over, Hilking our on the spot. “
I know you!!” The man monster says. Jack gets a glitter field up.

Next shot, cue him flung through a brick wall and getting a bloody face as David does not fuck around.

((Could we get a cast list? You're throwing up names without really introducing characters and it's getting to the point where I have trouble following who goes by what combination of name/alias/physical-and-or-job.))

Current character list and reference stuff in general ( will edit to add more. Keep this page in mind.)

Council members: 9 Of 9. Names classified and they are tasked with guarding the world.

The Help: Note worthy Hired help:

Al: The Butler, every top secret group should have one. Almost died but had a magic mask put on in hopes of it saving him, it did, now has to keep it in or he will die. Magic of mask allows him Basic super Himan prowess.

The Pack: Rag tag team Of were Kin.


Wolf: Clarence O Hare. Cocky brawler and were wolf commando.

Lion: Apollo: The head honcho, a damn lion. Seems most seasoned fighter and giving people guidance.

Rhino: Rita:  Has dropped family name in fear they will be hunted. Big, strong girl suiting her animal, also knows a good deal of tactics.

Frog: Mel: The other female, jokester and scout. Rumored to be the most magical of the bunch.

Shark: Don Perry: A former Navy Seal with Secret, Secret being a Were Shark. Now embraces it and most blood thirsty of the Pack.

Dragon Fly: Teddy: Dead. Killed by Leviathan.

Carla: Squid,  The replacement ofvteddy. Has three forms and she was helping trying to keep humans safe, appears to be a Inuit woman. Also knows abyssal sea magic.

Mantis: Benny:
Was a butler, gave it up when the urge to hunt took over. Was akin to a violent 80s superhero. Killing and eating crime doers until the pack pointed him to bigger threats Due to that past has a rep in certain cities.

Boar: Boris Hammond: A engineer and mechanic, helps keep weapons in good shape and got a Jeep for them. Very reliable and fun guy to be around. Not to be crossed though, can head butt a man to death.

Tech Team Red shirts so far.

Black Knights: strong unit with high tech bang bangs. Not sci fi but best of real world stuf

Alpha Squad: A mercenary group ran by Richard Thames. Richard is a Abomination. Man made vampire wit nanites. None of the weakness and is powered. Y drinking blood, super natural blood.

ADD:

The top tier are code named by playing cards. ( Ace is  highest. The King, Queen and Jack. After Jack considered extra material unless plot rises.)

Ace: Danny. He is the Ace, has a magic eye and knows some magic. His father worked as. Combat magician. Basically British SAS with magic talent. He learned a lot and his Magic Eye means he most likely wins a quick draw in magic slinging match. The cost of his eye? His positive feelings Hs is a miserable person who sees it fit to save the world though it makes him a loner. Also it took his happy memories as a partial brain wash.

King: Charles: Charles Stone, in reality s chaos magician who’s magic fuel is quick bursts of data ( keeps technology on him for it) and makes the digital energy solid as spell casting.

Queen: Ann. She just has huge amount of talent and is a brute magic ways. Using her pattern magic to wreck stuff.

Jack: Thomas: Born to a high class. Family and got hooked on magic books and artifacts. Now sees way to do good for the world in spreading his acquired gifts.


Rest: Like team of 20 magic users not counting director.


Last crew member:

David: A half Leviathan. Showed up in Slaska mission and went Godzilla to do it. Has three forms, Himan, Hulk, And Kaiju. He is one of the good guys and trying to find piece with his heritage. No magic casting, talking to fish and etc, just stats. Truthfully the only fancy FX trick he has is psionic fire. Literally his Godzilla breath is not atomic, but solid psionic energy displayed as fire. Also wants to learn of his father’s side though has not met his father and the other two Levuathans he had to kill ( he who hunts his own kind.)


Enemies in custody:

23 Inheritors: Kept for study.

Ava: Magic using woman, professional about it and speciality is aura magic.

Will: Currently powerless and in magic withdrawl. He is willing to help though.

Jack: Pure Freakken evil man, cousin of Danny/Ace. Always wanted to compete with him. Did I mention he is basically the Heath Ledger Joker, but with a valid back story and does this stuff for fun?

The Supernatural revealed in general:


The Leviathans: Primordial creatures older than the Dinosaurs, many sleep but when one awakens, you will know as they are, hungry most of the time. Can earn magic powers though and even mate with humans.

Magic users: Note that it is Note genetic but talent, practice and focus. These people fall under four catergories as to how magic is even used.

1: Voice: Saying words of powetbin combination.

2: Gestures: Hand to Hand moves that will the effects.

3: Ingredients: Usualy with ritual magic or even using stuff to conjure a spell or giving spell caster more “fuel” for casting pre day or amp the next spell.

4: Magic Eye: It comes at a cost, but the best system. All the usernhas to do is “think” of the spell. It is casted.

5: Foci: A item or Artifical that allows and channels focus/energy to cast spells.

The Priesthood Of Hell:  Evil cabal That wish’s to make Hell on Earth, motives and method not known. Neither the practice.

The Inheritors: Whacked our monsters from the future.

Were Kin: Apparently 30 different kinds exist. And are not mindless animals.

Debrief the two cooperative prisoners and find out all they know. Verify their info and if it adds up, welcome them to the team.

Have the science team run an analysis on the "Bone dagger", to determine  the nature of the material, and whether it can be replicated in other settings.

The new agents bind Jack and he was blind folded, gagged, tied. So no way to use any spells.;

Anna: Aura Mahican And knows some Animancy. She was for the money but honestly doubted they could do the Hell thing, not like it would be a good thing unless spared.

Will: Was the original host of the Daemon Armor. Going through withdrawals. Knows basic tune work and such.


Science on bone dagger: It turns to be bone alright, not just any old bone but scans show, Creature never recorded in biology, in great conidition and markers in handle. The only way to test what it does, is the language or maybe stab something harmless.



Books: The Occult Chief manages to decode the first book. It is apparently a history book about the “ Truth” of Earth. Going way back, to beyond 65 million years written in detail and shockingly, it’s updated to now drespite no apparent author. It also mentions the gear.

The Dagger is a Open Gate relic, getting stabbed induces powers. Though apparently human subject changes, into something else. The staff is standard Foci for Force and Time magic. In index were other items but the book was full. The three other books were spell tones.

Three times worth of arcane magic made by a apparent ancient magic race.

((I was hoping that I'd get some information about the hell cult from them and not just a brief summary of the new agents.))

Debrief them properly, I want information about the hell cult, who recruited them and whether they have the means to contact the cult or their recruiter.
If they do, pre-select Anna for the upcoming operation.
