START OF THIS SCENARIO :  https://wjr5oakley.blogspot.com/2022/10/grim-occupationp1.html Essie Vance [Whitney], Peter Graves [Jordan], Phillip Vance [Aaron] Recap : They entered the castle in search of Marina carried off by two winged creatures. They found a tapestry depicting the 700-year-old storming of the castle. At the foot of the stairs, they confronted a vile experiment coming down the steps to attack. Blasted by a shotgun, it lay dead at their feet. Peter stepped over it to climb the stairs. Phillip double-tapped it with his hatchet. 2 nd Floor : They cautiously climbed the stairs that lead to a long room. Old portraits hung on the west wall while the east wall was interspersed with arrow slits that looked out over the castle courtyard and the town’s center plaza. While Essie and Phillip studied the paintings (Essie looking for scenes that might explain the current atrocities), Peter gazed out an arrow slit for movement in town. He caught glimpse of something just...

START OF THIS SCENARIO :  https://wjr5oakley.blogspot.com/2022/10/grim-occupationp1.html Essie Vance [Whitney], Peter Graves [Jordan], Phillip Vance [Aaron] Recap : They arrived in Cauzerte only to find the entrance barred and it a ghost town, its streets empty. Except for the barbed-wire enclosure of military-style tents and cots. Scrapping and flapping sounds set an eerie portent that reminded Essie of those Migo. But then they encountered a strange 7+ ft tall Brownshirt who talked to ghosts while acting so peaceful despite the submachinegun strapped on his back. And that green-pus wound on his neck. At least he directed them to Marina’s house. Where her family hides while she scrounges for food. Monday, 20 Feb 1922, Beaumont house : Pierre tore open the rations Peter handed out, “Marina and the other few survivors have ransacked the town stores. And scoured the other houses of the families we know missing. I think she headed toward the southern barricade. A jumble of de...

GRIM OCCUPATION Hook : Prior to departing for Iraq (Armored Angels), Phillip Vance received a letter from his French girlfriend Marina who conceived his daughter Anna Beaumont . Marina worried her mail might be read before posting, she discretely mentions Brownshirts in her village of Cauzerte. She lies about Anna needing medical attention as she desperately wants Phillip to come rescue them. Essie Vance [Whitney]: suffers from Ablutomania (compulsion to washing/cleanliness) and Taphephobia (fear of being buried alive or of cemeteries). Peter Graves [Jordan]: lucky soul- no current fears or ticks. Phillip Vance [Aaron]: suffers from Arachnophobia (fear of spiders) and frayed nerves that require Liquid Courage (suffers penalties when his flask of alcohol runs dry).

THE NECROPOLIS (UNDER THE KAZZAH ZIGGURAT) Essie Vance [Whitney]: suffers from Ablutomania (compulsion to washing/cleanliness) and Taphephobia (fear of being buried alive or of cemeteries). Peter Graves [Jordan]: lucky soul- no current fears or ticks. Phillip Vance [Aaron]: suffers from Arachnophobia (fear of spiders) and frayed nerves that require Liquid Courage (suffers penalties when his flask of alcohol runs dry). Conclusion of Armored Angels : They had battled their way into the ziggurat (more run inside to avoid threat of attack from the flying MiGo outside). Where they closed a dimensional gate to prevent more other-worldly creatures from appearing. And came across the MiGo scientist who orchestrated it all. Only to back him down a passage where he created his own singular gate and escaped. [But not before casting a spell of Void Light .] The Passage : Complete darkness! Unnerving, unbalancing. Essie panicked, reaching for anything. Peter also blindly reached out ...
