Local Cabal Campaign - Second Session

I wasn't as well prepared as I would have liked, and we were missing our voodoo priestess player for personal reasons, but all in all, it wasn't a bad session.

We introduced a new character this time, Nate's attempt at playing an enlightened 15 year old boy. I don't know how well this is going to work with the existing cast in practice, but it should be a worthy experiment that might show how dark (or not) the other characters really are. As usual with new character introductions, a fair part of the session was spent in adding him in a way that made some degree of narrative sense. This was a Very Good Thing, since the time it took covered my relative lack of preparation.

We also covered more territory in the mystery of Lauren's murder (the ghost character), with Jonah the vampire cop getting some screen time that way. Lauren's investigation of her own murder should be the centerpiece of at least this initial phase of the campaign, especially since it's very easy to tie Jonah into it as a resource. We were able to end the session with a cool scene involving Lauren visiting her comatose husband and dealing with a young psychic woman who seemed to be checking on him for reasons unknown at this time.

Next up, I expect we'll spend a little time re-starting the voodoo priestess' search for a lost magical flute, go a little further with Lauren's investigation, and throw a few surprises in Jonah's direction that don't have to do with Lauren's murder.
