[QUOTE="mikeawmids1, post: 8920677, member: 7030604"] [U]Vaesen, Session 2/Part 1[/U] Screaming wind rattles the walls of the stablehouse, as the [I]Thursday's Children[/I] confront the vengeful shade of Oscar Hjort. "Pyrri.... Betrayer.... Murderer!" the spectre intones, advancing on the quaking innkeeper. Sami is overcome with terror and passes out. Gudrun moves to intercept the gristly apparition, brandishing his ritual dagger and calling upon his mystic arts to hold back the wraith. Oscar bats him aside. Gudrun cartwheels through the air crashes down in the muddy inn yard, battered and bleeding, his knife lost to the darkness. Oscar looms over the helpless innkeeper, flexing his knife-edged claws. Before he can strike, Erik shoots the ghoul in the back. Oscar spins around, empty eye sockets ablaze with murderous hatred! Knut darts forward and slams his knife into the creature's breastbone! With an anguished howl, the apparition dissipates into freezing mist, driven back to the root cellar where its body lies buried beneath unconsecrated soil. The investigator's relief is short-lived, as the sleeping guests emerge from the inn, their eyes glazed and movements shambolic. In unison, they chant the names of the four conspirators Oscar holds responsible for his death; "Albert.... Katja.... Hilda.... Pyrri...." Unwilling to harm innocent pawns, the investigators retreat into the stablehouse and barricade the entrance. The sleepers hammer their fists on the door. Peeking through a gap in the slats, Erik sees Father Klarhed carrying a lantern that burns with a sinister blue flame. Taking careful aim, Erik shoots the lantern. It explodes, splashing the priest with oil and causing the blue flame to spread to his cassock. Father Klarhed does not react as his flesh begins to bubble and melt. Svenrich recalls the occult tomes he found in the inn and begins frantically skimming through them for clues. He establishes Oscar is a type of Vaesen called a [B]Revenant[/B], and that he is unable to harm anyone bearing a holy symbol. To banish the creature for good, its remains must either be reburied in consecrated ground, or burnt. [/QUOTE]
