 We were on the case of a cult of Nyarlathotep who was operating out of a bookshop called Wagner's Occult & Esoteric Books. This book shop was actually the front for an entity called The Book Master. This entity has been supplying supernatural items & deadly black magic spell books to people corrupting them. This leads to these peoples becoming the heads of cults & expanding the role of the Mythos in the corruption of humanity. 
This session picks right up from here on the blog. The party picked up the from the fact that the urbanmancers that the PC's were dealing with disappeared. This was along with the homeless camp they were staying with. So we're using Nightshift Veterans of The Supernatural Wars as the base rpg system.

The PC's were attacked by cultists looking to gain power from supernaturals through sacrifice and worse. The players were shocked when a van pulled up to them on the street and armed men got out with guns locked. This happened at night at a street fair and our werewolves took these folks out with little problem. 

We took one of the corpses for one of our senior adventurers who happens to be a ghoul and necromancer. He stripped off the juicy bits and got the name of the bookshop. 

Now our party is in the planning stages of a raid on the bookshop. And we decided to go to the Dark End Street Fair. This is a quarterly street fair that moves across the city and sets up for the supernaturals and mundanes. This is where we closed this session.
