Session 36 - Geek Convention... FIGHT! (Part 1)

Key Points:

• Aria visits a weapon smith in Little Musashi called Masamune.
• Friends with the owner, she receives a blade called Kakusareta. The owner calls it a birthday present, but likely charges Aria's father's account.
• Aria learns that a ROGUE agent, Lukas Baer, was inquiring about battojutsu, iajutsu, and other hengeyokai swordsmanship styles at the Masamune.

• Kembu and Managirl discover a message left for them...
• Kembu's master, Borei, killed six dwarves who were waiting in ambush at Lisa's apartment.
• Kembu seemed fond of Borei, though Borei seemed to be a 'hard' master, though it was clear that he held some pride for his protege.
• Kembu reveals what he has been doing in Babylon to his master. Borei seems indifferent to it, though recognizes that Kembu is on a noble path.
• Kembu inquired about his curse blade. Borei shared a little about the history of Oni's. He believed that part of the Oni's spirit now resided in the sword, and as such, that the sword as out of balance. With each life the sword claimed, the Oni's influence would grow.
• Borei revealed that he would seek out a charm from the Wylds to help bring balance back to the blade. He would contact Kembu once he found it.

• Niklas presented a deal to the group on behalf of Gwen Morrison. Defeat the remaining Olympians and deliver them to Gwen. With the evidence acquired from them, she could prove Roan's innocence.
• Setter demanded that the group receive additional compensation; a bounty for each head, along with the belongings of the Olympians. Niklas agreed.

• Death Otter decided to interrogate Aphrodite. Setter watched.
• By reading Aphrodite's thoughts, and by leading her on, Death Otter was able to learn that there was an underground tunnel in the Treant Theater that lead to Sector Six (the off limits, testing district). It connects to a specific warehouse, where Aphrodite believes Athena to be hidden.
• Athena attempted to thwart Otter's attempts, but Otter kept one step ahead of her.
• Athena vowed that her father would kill the group. Otter briefly got images of an imposing tiefling that could command fire, lightning, and thunder.
• Setter managed to get out of Aphrodite that Pandora's Box was a code name for sensitive information; information that could change the world.
• Setter couldn't also stop himself from mocking Aphrodite before leaving; leaving the Olympian with a grudge...

• The group rested, then, and prepared for the next day's work...
• In the early morning, Otter and Managirl snuck away, having an intimate experience with each other.
• Aria and Kembu also shared some time together; but in a way more befitting of potential siblings.
• Niklas claimed that he would be monitoring the group from afar... he left them a cell phone to contact him with once they secured the box.

• The group made it to the convention...
• Setter, Aria, and Managirl cosplayed as different characters. Kembu, Otter, and Roan did not.
• The group went to the gaming hall and began to search for their target: Prometheus. Through a combination of different skills and lucks, the group ultimately was able to contact Prometheus on the phone, in which Setter offered him a deal he couldn't refuse.
• Prometheus revealed that he was selling an 'ornate box' that functioned as a flash drive that contained information regarding sensitive passwords and sensitive information regarding Genesis including top secret projects as well as the truth behind the foundation of Genesis. 
• Roan also discovered the potential buyer... Nacht in disguise.
• With Setter sealing the deal, he unfortunately found himself on the receiving end of another ambush...

• Demeter, sister of Zeus, deva, and former first class ROGUE agent, descended upon the group with her team of ninjas and animated knives...
• Combat broke out, as it inevitably does...
• With Roan blowing his cover, Nacht struck him in the throat and used that confusion to cover his escape; blending into the ground. Though, Nacht's role might not yet be over, as Prometheus has something he wants... Roan had to take a second wind to recover from the cheap shot.
• Otter opened up the battle with making a few of the baddies feel an annoying, painful itch.
• Kembu landed a painful, harmful blow against Demeter; he discovered that his blade was start to get a mind of its own, and it wanted blood...
• Setter attempted to hinder Demeter; but it didn't go as he planned.
• Demeter revealed that she could shapeshift; briefly transforming into Managirl. She landed a wound on Kembu and Managirl both; fighting with a ninja-to.
• Aria tried to get involved, but found that the animated knives had a nasty habit of pinning people to the ground. As a result, she 'killed' one.
• The dangerous ninjas attacked. One bloodied Kembu, three others nearly killed Setter, and the fifth missed Aria and got WTFPWNED by her.
• Managirl bloodies one of the ninja's with her power; and manages to land a wound against Demeter as well. She unleashes explosive magic!
• The various animated flying daggers sought out targets; some having luck, others not so much.
• Demeter, with advanced alacrity, made a quick strike against Otter, and then followed it up by tumbling over towards Setter and trying to take him down for good. Luckily, she missed against him. She then disappeared in a smoke bomb.
• Prometheus managed to destroy one of the daggers attacking him; displaying a strange magnetic ability (that turned his hand to metal when he used it).

• Next time, round two...
