Message: <blockquote data-quote="THEMNGMNT" data-source="post: 8397766" data-attributes="member: 6809274">3rd session of my Night's Black Agents campaign. The agents were infiltrating the real-life Citadel of Aleppo, which had become a field hospital for a Doctors Without Borders analog...yet was under the protection of Russian troops. Syrian militia members had captured the agents handler and taken her into the Citadel...then deeper into a quarantine zone purportedly used to isolate cases of leprosy. Something strange was going on.Most of the session involved the agents navigating the Citadel, hacking the Russian computer network, using a huge spend of Preparedness to find a hidden weapons cache so they could re-arm, and just generally gathering intel. Then they spent Architecture to find a hidden way into the quarantine zone.There, they discovered over a dozen sedated individuals strapped to gurneys. Including their handler. They were attended by a pair of well-built orderlies and a French doctor from not-Doctors Without Borders. The team medic knew he was a world-renowned specialist in blood diseases. So what's he doing in a leprosy ward? He seemed to be guarded by a pair of Russian soldiers. Also present was the Butcher of Aleppo, a local warlord the agents had been tasked with capturing.The agents ambushed the group, cutting them down quickly, but spending most of the points in their Shooting pools. Once it became clear that defeat was inevitable, the Russians turned their guns on the French doctor. Hmmm...looks like they had something to hide.The medic went over to check out the body of the Butcher -- and found out the hard way that the Butcher had come back to life. The agents don't have the lingo for it yet, but he's a Renfield. The Butcher tried to rip out the medic's throat. Fortunately, the Butcher was outnumbered and outgunned by the other agents, and this time he sustained more damage than his regeneration could overcome.As the session concluded, a transport helicopter landed next to the quarantine zone. The doors opened. And Spetsnaz special forces troops disembarked to pick up the sedated patients.Next session: This time there's a vampire. For real. I promise.</blockquote>
