Maintainer's note - The first half of the 09/13 gaming session is the last portion of Book II, Chapter 4.
Tuesday 9/8/98
Competition for resources has become even fiercer, the camp has lost four
scouts and used lots of ammunition on trips. People are becoming crack
shots by necessity, bullets are a very valuable commodity.
A large farm is found in north Durham with crops untouched in the fields.
This must be too good to be true. It is surrounded by chained fenced in
woods marked No Trespassing and is accessed by a dirt road hidden by
military type camoflage netting. The buildings are uninhabited by any
people or animals, and there are bloodstains, bullet holes, and claw marks
decorating the floor and walls. However, this is a great opportunity, and
the decision is made to move. Nobody has evidenced any ill effects from
eating food brought back from the farm. Several weeks are needed to
bus/van/u-haul people and supplies from the camp to the farm, using most of
the available gas.
Satin confirms that Rachel has been "regular" and walks off as Rachel tries
to find out what's going on.
Of the 50% of camp which are female, five are now acknowledged pregnant.
Satin spends her last days before the move staring at the scorched symbols
on the quad, dancing on the symbols, and crying.
Tuesday 9/29/98
There has been a definite stratification to the camp's activities. There
is now a definate "soldier" class, and Gabriel's training is ruthless, the
soldiers become very efficient. At one point during the move from campus
to farm a bus was stopped by a roadblock. The people manning the roadblock
obviously hadn't eaten in a while, and looked like animals. They never
made it to the bus. The soldiers riding on top of the bus didn't flinch,
didn't miss, and were very efficient removing the bodies. Neither did the
people on the bus flinch.
Rachel has been holding daily sermons, so there hasn't actually been much
for Michael to do. David has been taking care of physical needs, and
Gabriel has become his Lieutenant. Rachel has taken care of spiritual
needs, Amethyst has been herding the workers, Satin takes care of carnal
needs, and Glen hangs out with the scouts. Scouting at the farm has
become mostly soldiers on patrol. David establishes an emergency alert
system of runners and torches. There is a bee farm which has not swarmed
away yet. The animals are gone or dead, and there's blood in the stables
where the horses were.
Glen tries to contact his Avatar and Billy, neither respond.
Wednesday 10/14/98
A pole pavilion has been established for shelter from the rain. Sites have
been chosen for outbuildings, but there is no hewn lumber yet to use.
Runners sprint up to the main farmhouse, carrying strange news. A large
group of people walked up to the road, walked out to the camouflage, and
pulled it aside. The sentries came out to stop them, and suddenly got out
of the way.
The entourage walks up the road to the farmhouse, and splits. A woman
walks forward. It is the Indian from Satin's prophecy vision. She has a
light in her eyes and a smile on her face, and she is wearing the clothes
Satin last saw her in.
End of game session
Notes for the session:
The north Durham forest by the farm was home to Garou, Technocracy created
creatures, Sluagh, and vampires for a while, not to mention many other
creatures not seen by mankind.
