After some thought, I’ve decided that killing Lord Scurlock’s butler (while having a -1 standing) is an act of war. How would you handle a war between a tier 0 cult and LS? Would it be any different than any other type of war? I think yes.

“You wake up because you and your lair are on fire. Also, you can’t move for some reason.”
“Remember back when you had skin? Those were the days, huh?”
“Did you just have the one heart? No backup? … yeah, bad news.”
i started a clock to give the players time to write their wills
The crew are now Scurlock’s new butlers.

There is a surprising amount of ghosts and/or demons avoiding a several block radius around your lair.
Your occult contacts give heartfelt goodbyes and start preparing for the funeral.
Rats start climbing into your lair and disemboweling themselves before you with more artistry then you’d expect of either rats or disemboweling.
This thread is pure gold. I have nothing to contribute and I feel ashamed.
Remember your contacts? One of them vanished over night and the night before. What will happen the next night?
Remember your friend? He/Shes is behaving oddly since he/she left her windows open all night. Lately He/Shes watching you as if you’re game or something delecious to eat. What could cause that?
Trying to use your Whisper abilities? Strange, they’re not working anymore or just in a very misbehaving way. It seems there is some type of blockage between you and the ghost field. Did I mention that additionally that blockage lights up on every occult radar there is (like Spirit Wardens, Ghosts, Demons, etc.)
LS has a lot of connections from the good old time: Maybe he’s calling in same favors? Let’s have a look at the allies list: “City Council, Bluecoats, Inspectors, The Forgotten Gods”. Ough, that hurts. Let all just sing “we’re bleeding together” 🙂
you could have them create a brand new crew and start the next session, cold open, with their new characters moving into a newly-empty base of operations – a great place, apart from some strange stains that won’t come out and a landlord who refuses to talk about the previous tenants.
Over the course of weeks they might find the occasional corpse stuffed in a crawl space, a flayed skull under the stove, a literal skeleton in the closet.
Probably best not to ask questions.
