Children of Baal After Action Report
Our three member team arrived in the small town of of Torresdale, OH to investigate the murders of a school teacher. Rebecca Barnes, our occultist immediately identified marks of ritual murder relating to geomancy in the autopsy photos. We investigated the local area in our database and discovered not just one nexus of ley lines, but three. By investigating the three sites, we found that someone had claimed two of them and was beginning to draw power from the third. When we began our ritual to reclaim the third site for holy purposes, we found a 4th grade class of children playing hide-and-seek in the area. The class, apparently on a field trip, invited us for hot chocolate back as a picnic grove near the nexus. Their teacher was present and we sat down to enjoy the beverage with him. Our team immediately grew ill, and we each suspect the hot chocolate had been poisoned. Rebecca passed out, Elizabeth Porter, our team's "muscle" attempted to vomit the hot chocolate, while I reeled from the effects and nearly passed out. In my hazy mind, I could see Elizabeth use her miracle of Transformation to change into a giant black bear. She grabbed Rebecca and me and headed for our car, about a half mile away. When we got to the car, the teacher from the picnic grove was already there and leveled a hunting rifle at Liz. She charged him, while I drove away with Rebecca, who was still knocked out from the poison. When I looked in my rear view mirror to see how Liz was doing, I could see that she was being chased by an Incubus, and several smaller demons. I slammed on the brakes, brandished my crucifix, and called upon the Wrath of God to punish these demons. Liz, still in bear form, used her miracle of Pyrokinesis to hurl fireballs at the demons. Between the two of us, we managed to dispatch the demons, but our car was damaged by numerous stray fireballs and the dents and scratches of several demons. Liz was also too weak to transform back into human form, so we quickly drove to the local Catholic church to seek help. As a priest, I was welcomed into the rectory and told the pastor that I had a strange request but that he must help me. We hid the car in the garage of the rectory, and I requested that Liz, still in bear form, be allowed into the sanctuary of the church so that she might regain strength to transform back into human form. With that, the pastor asked, "Is the bear Catholic?"
