Actual Play Report

The Cult known as The Legion emerges from the criminal underbelly under the command of their glorious deity Iguanas. While plotting under an abandoned Church of the Ecstasy of the Flesh in Nightmarket, they receive their first vision from the physical incarnation of their Elder Iguana God. Convert….CONVERT it blasts into their minds as it disappears. In its cultists minds they get an image of men in wetsuits carrying what appears to be barrels of demon blood. The cultists know what they must do.

Flick the Slide and Pockets the Cutter set off to find out more about this group of people. The River Eels, a Tier 1 smuggling group, were working on sending their product upstream. The two and their group of Adepts, led by Penguin, attempt to gather information about the gang and their location.

Flick’s old friend Nyryx, a prostitute in The Docks, tells him of some regular clients that come in from time to time. It doesn’t take long for Legion to survey the area and find an occasional man waiting by the docks, only to walk away with a barrel from time to time. After tailing the man to his hideout, they decide that they’ll simply convert or kill the entire hideout.

The plan doesn’t go nearly as well as they expected, after bombing the front door, only to find the room empty, they are surrounded by Eels. Despite having the tables turned on them, The Legion fights back ferociously, losing a couple men and taking out just as many for an even score. The Eels realize that their opponent was tougher than they realized and regroup inside for a better advantage. The Legion comes in for a skirmish at another major disadvantage in tier and scale, only to have Pockets’s Savageness take out enough people to draw a one on one with their leader, Horus Dirken. Despite all of the setbacks, Pockets savagely slices the man’s head off and sticks it on the harpoon he attempted to attack with. Realizing that they have been beaten, the rest of The Eels back off, only to be converted to their dark lord’s Legion via a burning mark on their necks. The Eels’ are effectively wiped out.

Downtime

Both character had taken around seven stress, so both indulge in their vices twice, with Pockets overindulging and losing the man who supplies him with fresh human tongues to eat. He then spends a coin to attempt to reduce heat after such an overexposed score, intimidating two Bluecoats. Flick returns to these Bluecoats and explains that they need to keep their noses out of the shadows for their own safety, reducing their heat even further.
