Game Date: 2nd April 2063
Held at Stuarts on the 2nd April 2005

Back to New Orleans Campaign


Cast of Characters


Prologue

After the events of Red Sun Rising Myst returned with her sister Katumari Kawakita to Scotland, where she has been staying for the last few months. Everything was fine until the headaches began...

The Shadows of New Orleans have been quiet of late. The street war between the New Orleans Mafia and the Zobop has wound down to low level incidents after Papa Moubassa a Zobop gang leader was killed. Finding shadowruns has been difficult for Solitaire and Speedy but they have found a new job working for Assets Insured an agency set up by Maclaine and Morlaine and now run by Mm Du Ponte and Morlanine who have taken over after Maclaine left with Stripe to go and work for Ares External Security. Assets Insured offers bodyguarding and security work for Mr Johnson, Fixers and meets, as well as performing rescue and clean up ops for FUBAR shadowruns.

Mark was beginning to enjoy a good career as a runner in Seattle. Then he learned that a crazy man name Webb was out to kill him. Time to leave town, and look up some old friends in the Big Easy.


Data Dump

Day 1: 2nd April

Myst arives back in town from Scotland.

Speedy, Solitaire and Myst drinking to Stepin Nodes Death in Round 15 when Vincent Vincini comes over and says a "family man" is looking for some runners for a job and will be in tonight to interview.. and we can expect some troll to be joining us and a mage.

Speedy, Solitaire and Myst meet Mark and Steel.

Team get hired by Mr Carelli (the Consiglieri for the Kozlowski Family) to body guard Miguel Escobar at a rate of 3K per day for 4 days - and 3K danger money if something bad happens. As part of the deal he loans then team a SAAB 10-8 Executive and asks the team to dress smart and give a good impression. Mr Escobar is in town to do some business.

Day 2: 3rd April

Team go and get some expensive clothes then head to airport to pick up the bloke at 6.00pm with no problems.

Team take Mr Escobar to his hotel (The Charlston Hotel). That evening they take him and his date (en "escort") Trixie Belle to a mafia resturant called Carlionis that has several other groups of VI Ps and corresponding bodyguards.

At about 11 pm the team head to the River Side Casino. Mr Escobar lays out some serious cred taking 100000 nuyen out in chips. After some serious gambling where Mr Escobar finishes down slightly the group head to the bar where a african/american human in a mustard coloured suit comes up and tries to talk to Escobar - and Escobar doesn't know him - but is curious. The man is Mr Bo Ordell or just Bo and tries to make a deal to undercut Escobar's current suppliers. Bo claims he can knock 10% off from Mr Escobar's current suppliers. Mr Escobar is interested but says he has already made a deal with someone else, but gets Bo's card.

After a long night the team head back to the Charlston Hotel where Mr Escobar retires for the evening along with Trixie Belle. The Team take shifts to watch over him at night (although Dawn takes this a little far and watches over him and Trixie Belle in his room from Astral Space).

Day 3: April 4th

Mr Escobar gets up at about 11 am and is bough breakfast by a "suspicious" old maid. Steel is unsure how to deal with her but lets her through with Mr Escobars breakfast.

Mr Escobar and Team go to visit Don Ginelli and Mr Escobar talks to him for several hours.

Afterwards Don Ginelli chats to Myst just to see how she is - and Myst mentions that Bo Ordell was trying to undercut Miguel's action.

Don Ginelli knows Bo Ordell's rep - he's a guy who gets things done and was a top class runner who worked out of Detroit abot a year ago. Don Ginelli says to Myst that he gets a cut from Mr Chase (arms dealer) so to make sure the deal between Mr Chase and Mr Escobar goes smoothly. He also mentions that Mr Chase and Mr Escobar have often dealt with each other and have a good business arrangement.

Myst heads down to the group - and has a dizzy spell and gets a migraine.

Team take Mr Escobar to the Orpheous Club (a Mafiua owned strip joint) at 10 pm. Mr Chases body guard Ricky Borchelli approaches the group and says Mr Chase will be a bit late. Myst recognises Ricky as Vincent Vininni's cousin who has just started to work for Mr Chase.

Mr Chase arives at 2pm and chats with Mr Escobar for a while. Mr Escobar complains that several boxes of "good" never made it last time, and Mr Chase tells him they were confiscated by customs but he would make it up to Mr Escobar with this consignment. Mr Escobar hands over a down payment of 500,000 Nuyen of certified cred as half upfront and will give Mr Chase the rest on completion. Mr Escobar then begins to make a list for the next consignment. Meanwhile Mr Chase's other bodyguard Gunther is being friendly with Steel at the bar and getting him drunk on shots, although Myst notices Gunther isn't affected by the shots.

Suddenly front doors of club explode. Mr Chase shouts "Frag! It's the Yardis. Quick Ricky show them the back way out." <<GM Note: Suckers!>>

Ricky leads the team out. Myst follows him pulling Mr Escobar along with him. Myst spots a pile of Fuel containers and a Claymore Mine behind them. S He just has enough time to push Mr Escobar to the floor <<No not like that :) >> when she hears a double clikc and the Claymore Mine explodes throwing burining fuel across the alley. Ricky is caught point blank by the blast and becomes a flaming corpse. Myst and Mr Escobar are both hurt but not dead due to Mysts quick action.

Myst drags Mr Escobar into limited cover from a dumpster as a bunch of Yardis with heavy weapons appear on the other side of the alley. The teams escape route is blocked by the burning fuel!

Solitaire calls elementals.

Mark moves to exit chamber with Sol and Speedy, and closes door behind them.

Human SMG bad-guy shoots at Myst.

2 guys throw grenades down towards Myst.

Myst smashes through a locked alley way door and dags Mr Escobar into opposite building using her booster strength.

Sol's 4 force 8 fire elementals go to hit bad guys and all get blatted by a magician mana balling into astral space.

Mark calls his elementals.

Speedy pulls out her Gyroject pistol and blows out some boarded windows of a side office creating a route for the group to escape into the street.

Myst runs away and away carrying the injured Mr Escobar.

Solitaire goes to cover blown out widnows and directs Speedy and Mark to escape.

Everyone gets the frag out of dodge!

Team all meet up later- Solitaire heals Escobar and Myst's wounds.

Group phone Mr Carelli who tells us Mr Chase was dragged off by the Yardis along with Escobar's money. Mr Escobars hires us to get his 500,000 Nuyen back for a 20% finders fee.

Team head back to Charlston Hotel at 4 am.

Just as Solitaire opens the door for Mr Escobar. Just as Mt Escobar stands up he gets hit by a burst of bullets which tear through his shoulder and then hit Solitaire square in the chest (although they have lost all their Kinetic Energy and do no damage to Sol). Then sniper then fires again and hits Solitaire causing a serious wound.

Myst leaps over car and drags Mr Escobar behind the car.

Solitaire dives behind the car for cover.

Mark tries to spot sniper from his car and fails.

Myst and Sol pull the badly wounded Mr Escobar into car and Speedy drives off.

Team get Mr Escobar to a safehouse and hole up and plan. Mr Escobar is healed by Mark with a heal spell. Mr Escobar explains that no one except Mr Carelli knew he was at the Carlston Hotel.

Team send Steel into another motel room with the Pocket Secretary that Mr Carelli gave the group. T He team think that Mr Carelli may have double crossed them and the phone may be bugged! Nothing happens.

Day 5: April 6th

Pocket secretary rings - it is Mr Carelli - he says that police have a warrant out for Solitaire who is reported to have assassinated Ryan Novak - a VIP exec at Elysium Inc. There is a video file showing Sol going into an office block and killing Ryan Novak and three other people he was meeting with.

Team all gather in safehouse, Myst wakes up but has lost her memory. Myst goes completely paranoid and S Olataire has to restrain her.

Mark mind probes her but is confused by the result and almost loses his mind. Sol slaps Mark - he comes to his senses. Sol slaps Myst - it doesn't help.

Mark thinks that Myst is suffering from a Szitsophrenic episode.

Mark mind probes Sol to try and work out why the name of Novak and Elysium seem so familiar.

After lots of waking and slapping, team finally send Speedy go out and illegally buy some Meta Barbosates (anti-schisophrenia tranqs). After talking to many dealers Speedy gets some. They give it the Mysts and after an hour she wakes up with her memories back. <<GM Note: Myst loses 9 points of bad karma and gains a 9 point illness flaw. Lifes a bitch :) >>

Mark and Speedy go back to the Orpheus Club and chat to the Bar Tender there. They bribe him 500 nuyen for copies of the sercurity camera footage. From watching footage the bodyguard with Mr Chase doesn't seem to try very hard, and Mr Chase doesn't seem to much in a panic. He looks smug - but not scared. And he still has his briefcase with Mr Escobars cred.

Speedy analyses the footage further - and sees Bo Ordell in earlier the previous evening chatting to the bar keeper a couple of hours before the meet.

Mr Escobar is shown the footage. Team seem to think that Bo Ordell may have been involed with the ambush. Sol suggests that Mr Escobar calls Bo Ordell and says his supplier fell through and needs a new supplier - then we ambush Bo Ordell. Team don't end up using this plan though.

Team meet up with Vincent Vincinni and give him the bad news that his cousin Ricky died - betrayed and set-up by Mr Chase or Bo Ordell (or both, team aren't sure). He tells us that Bo Ordell operates out of a bar called Simones. And used to run with a team of 4 other shadowrunners.

Vinny recognises the Yardis from the Orpheus Club hit as former Papa Moubassa's people who now work for Papa Wombosi.

Mike Molaine is contacted by the team for info on the hit on Ryan Novak Solitaire supposedly did. It was professional. Ryan Novak and 3 guys probably shadowrunners where killed professionally.

The police were informed by Alexis Powell the head of security of Elysium Inc - who recognised Solitaire - and said Sol used to work for their security years ago and went rogue.

A security task force headed by Alexsis Powell who is now looking for Sol.

Speedy and Mark go to the River Side Casino to try and get footage to prove Sol was there and not doing any assassination.

At casino they run into Bo Ordell and some arguments are had.

In discussion, info is passed that Mr Chase has many gambling debts, and hasn't made any purchases in a month. The crates that went missing in a previous deal must have been passed from Chase to the Yardies to pay them off for helping him with this deal gone wrong last night.

Br Ordell is still looking for his decker [ Pascal ] who is the 4th member of a team he was running - the other 3 (Twitch, Engima and T-Bone) were killed along with Novak. Bo sugest the team and him keep in touch and swap information (team begin to trust Bo Ordell is true to his word).

Bo Ordell knows of Chase's other bodyguard - Gunther - is knows he hs an eye for expensive ladies. So Mr Escobar suggests that Angels Escorts could help us (which is where Mr Escobar hiurted Trixie Belle). Mr Escobar asks for Trixie - and they go to a private room for a chat with Myst. Escobar shows pic of Gunther - and Trixie recognises him - he has had 2 girls delivered to his hotel room - for a party going on right now.

Team head over there, Myst hacks the lock, and an invisible Mark is standing in doorway ready to stun ball. Guy pulls gun and aims at open doorway - but doesn't see anything. Mark stun balls him, team run in, close door, and mind probes him. Mr Chase has already headed to Carribean Free League. But Gunther has 160K on him. Escobar aranges Gunther shipped to Yucatan (where god only knows what befell him]].

Team get paid by Mr Escobar 35K each plus share of then finders pee for the 160K theu got back (32K).

Speedy gets a call from Bo Ordell that Pascale (Ordell's decker) is going around to Simones Bar - she was decking from her home and her flat mates are now dead. She's being followed - can we go and help her? So team go to meet her at Simones. She's an 18year old girl in tears. Steel goes and watches the front of the bar and sees two Black SU Vs pulling up a distance away. Three women with assault rifles get out. The group hunker down and wait for the shooting to begin!

Suddenly the people following her attack the bar, it's 3 solitare-alikes.. they fire ball the area, then mana ball the area. Mark's elementals are dissapeared, and Speedy took a Moderate.

Baddies air-time grenade the area - Speedy takes a moderate (now on 6 boxes). Myst took a light, Mark took a moderate.

Steel tries to run towards the baddies.

Sol sends a grenades down corridor sending the assasins scattering.

Myst steps into the bars supply room.

As Steel runs at the assassins the casually shot him with armour piercing assault rifles rounds and kill him.

One Assassin steps into side room to flank the group but Myst's is alreay their waiting and takes her delayed action to hit her with a distance strick with killing hands. The Assassin is broken in half.

A second Assassin steps in and shoots Myst who just manages to dodge (taking a serious a 4 points of burnt bad karma).

Bo Ordell has gone arround the back of the assassin and bursts out with a Franchi SPAS. He shoots one of the assassins and kills her (SPA Sification).

Solitaire steps behind Mysts and shoots the assassin who was attacking her, killing the final assassin.

Speedy drags Pascal out of a broken window get into her car and safety.

Speedy sees one landrover heading towards her. In a gutsy manouvre she reverses her car towards the landrover and at the last secoond perfoms a hand brake turn spinning around the landrover. The landrover atempts to turn sharply but instead flips over. A man crwals out and Speedy holds him at gun point.

Solitaire recognises him and gets team to take him prisoner. Mark interogates him with Mid Probe. His name is Robert Denman. He worked under Ryan Noval on Project Songbird a simsense project to create trained personnel using skillwires and high level chips. It also was a black project to create operatives which Elysium INC could then use.

On its test run the project went wrong. Solataire (Dawn) who was the first member of the project was sent to get some files from an office, but when she was interupted by someone she went OTT and started killing people.

Ryan Novak the project coordinator had the proiject shelved after this but Robert Denman secretly kept the project going as a blackops assassins for hire unit using Elysium INC resources.

Ryan Novak became suspicious when a Mothers of Metahumans protestor was killed by an assissin who matched the description of one of the former members of Project Songbird. He contected Bo Ordell and had him hire some runners to investigate.

The runners (Twitch, Enigma, T-Bone, and Pascal) were sucessful and collected evidence that a CAS Senator had contacted Robert Denman to arrange the hit. The team took this info back to a meet with Ryan Novak, but Robert Denmans assassins had noticed them and followed them to the meet where they killed everyone except for Pascal who was in the matrix. Robert Denman then planted evidence to show it was Dawn/Solitaire who did the hit and started to hunt down Pascal.
