Armageddon: The Rescue
I did manage to generic into Armageddon, though I was decidedly below par, having trouble staying conscious for the first hour or so. The gm figured it was my allergy meds, but I hadn't taken those. I'm guessing it was the long walk to find the right hotel, as the game had been moved, followed by eating. I ate dinner at the table, which doesn't normally get in the way of gaming, but I'm thinking I should err on the side of eating a bit too little, especially if I've got the food right there. It was a fun adventure, with some really fun-in-a-sick-way characters.
The characters were pregenerated, but we made up the names. That was fun. IMAO, there should have been an extra paragraph or two on our sheets, explaining some of the known pc relationships.
Armageddon: The Rescuer
GM: Mike Wallace
PCs:
Seraphim: Ariel, who was actually a demon pretending to be a seraphim
Rosicrucian: Gerald MontBlanc (Timothy Brenan), father of a murdered woman. Made some kind of deal with Ariel.
Exiled Angel: Zeke
Inheritor: Lawrence Anderson, bounty hunter (Brent Avis)
True Immortal: Karl Lazarus (me). fiancee of a murdered woman. I was proud of coming up with the name, and folks liked it.
We made up the names for the pregenerated characters.
GM: This is set actually a little past Witchcraft, but not quite as late as Armageddon.
Player: Oh! So, it's... 2007.
IIRC, Ariel, Gerald, Zeke, and Karl went to meet Lawrence in a club, because Lawrence had some ides where they could find their quarry, the man who had ritually murdereed Gerald's daughter, Karl's fiance.
Brent: It's a strip club called The Booby Trap. It's not the classiest strip joint. It's not even the third classiest.
Someone, noting the obvious nicknames: Karl, Larry, Zeke, and Gerry,
Someone else: At least it isn't every Tom, Dick, and Harry.
Ariel's player: And I'm Airy.
I forget the context of this exchange:
Ariel: You humans are so cliched.
Lawrence: It's more fun that way.
Ariel: No, not really.
Lawrence: I don't care if it's fun for you.
Lawrence's information led to a Sentinel safe house. The Sentinels are modern holy warriors of God. Ariel, who had previously used her power to jam one of their guns, On realizing what the Sentinels were, Ariel "revealed" herself as an angel, and explained, quite truthfully, that if the one with jammed gun had fired, he would have been killed. Lawrence made some kind of smart alecky comment.
Ariel: He has much to learn.
The Sentinels were not the group's quarry, but, now convinced that Ariel was an angel (which was sort of true, from a Certain Point of View), the Sentinels were able to help locate the murderer. After the group left, Ariel had words with Lawrence.
Ariel: Never get that close to blowing my cover when I'm dicking with Sentinels.
Lawrence: What's a sentinel?
The group found their quarry, along with some mooks and at least one creature of Leviathan, iirc. For Leviathan, think Outer Gods -- Heaven, Hell, and the Pagan Gods find themselves united in their opposition to the Outsiders. All foes were destroyed. Karl and Gerald emptied their guns into the murderer, and, when their guns were empty and he was quite, quite dead, the two men looked at each other in bafflement, wondering what on earth to do now.
