This week was our second session of Agents of Oblivion. We made it to Wroclaw, Poland without any incidents and began looking over the building that will house our import export business and our Oblivion base of operations. The building was a mess. Not only was everything rundown from the building going unused for a long time, but there was graffiti everywhere—some of it quite disturbing. We were able to find a contractor that would work for us to renovate the place and keep his mouth shut about a few special options we’re adding. We also all found places to live in the city.

It turned out that the disturbing graffiti were occult symbols of some kind.  We called in an occult specialist; Norman Korys. He’s a sorcerer, but he’s not in the phonebook. He confirmed that the symbols were bad news that essentially placed a curse on our building. He also mentioned that a supernatural nexus must be nearby, probably on the facility grounds somewhere.

We began having several accidents at the building during the renovations. This caused us to be visited by Officer Dawid Kowalski, who also happens to be the pack leader for a clan of werewolves in the area. He told us to do something about the unusual accidents or he’d have to report the strange goings-on to his superiors—and we wouldn’t want that now would we. We also agreed to break a certain “friend” of Officer Kowalski’s out of prison. Yes, we really did—and this without any authorization from Oblivion. I think our careers are off to a fine start.

But that’s not all. One day walking to the office, I realized I was being tailed. Using all of my tradecraft skills I led him to believe he had lost me, all the while lying in waited for him. I blew my roll to pickpocket his wallet when I “accidently” bumped into him. I did learn he spoke Russian and eventually tailed him to the Polish Art Museum.

We spent a huge chunk of time concentrating on how to free this friend of Kowalski’s. Owen impersonated his lawyer; Ben broke into various places for various reasons; I’m sure Mike did some things too. I had to make a visit to the known leader of the vampires in Wroclaw, Aleksander Nowak, to obtain a dead body. Don’t ask. I ended up walking away owing Aleks a BIG favor. I’m sure that will turn out ok.

We ended the night with Ben putting the final part of our plan into action. He critically failed the roll, and in our house, there is no re-roll of critical failures. We await our fates at the hands of Evil Mike. I’m sure it will turn out ok.
