We're back at table playing Dresden again, and it seems I failed to convert the remainder of my notes to narrative. In the interest of keeping the notes available for reference and perusal, I'm gonna drop them in here, straight out of my notebook. Okay, with a little cleaning up for clarity.
12 June '10 (game date Sat 30 Oct '10)
BLACK creates a black tear in space -- it's unraveling. This is happening behind James so he's not seeing it. Tentacle grabs BLACK and pulls him into the rift. Voice whispers, "Bring me the khatvanga ... and kill the wolf!" Voice carries throughout warehouse. Zombies come running out, we hear tribal drums coming out of the rift. James makes it out (Fate Point for "New Leaf"). Trench Coat springs off loading dock; his coat splits into wings; he flies upward + away -- James sees his shadow. Big wolf grabs the khatvanga from behind -- James shoots at him and misses. Wolf runs around the corner, nodding to James to follow. Gets into Mike's car, James follows. Wolf changes to Gallatin. Back to Mike's apartment.
-- new scene -- about 4 pm to Mike's
Discussion over destination of Khatvanga -- Gallatin: should be destroyed, but I need help to destroy the snake from the rift. Gallatin doesn't want to give the khatvanga to his boss -- too dangerous. Weres threatening...
James reveals his consequences and description of his client. He's told he's made a bargain with a Faerie + has essentially sold his soul to her.
~ 9pm Alvin comes back, wrecks door, failsafe goes off - 90 seconds. Alvin, Gallatin, Maeve, Kara through portal, James and Mike out front -- Mike drives off. James jumps on car. Building detonates.

03:30: Leave msg for Mike -- Mike arrives without briefcase. Someone offered him 5 million for case -- he'll sell it to us for 150K (from Kara). James guarantees ayment, Mike brings briefcase.
Kara and Maeve suggest we start with the ambrosia. Who are we offering this to and where are they? We don't know who James dealt with.
Mike's using James' computer to research Tony's "parlours". He wants to disrupt Tony's business -- thinks his contact works for him.
Maeve's worried - Kara spread sand in a circle, whips out a knife -- asks for ring; James gives it to her -- she stabs herself in the hand and slams her hand down on the circle. James watching astonished. Kara's concentrating. Something explodes outside. Guy smashes in through Girard window (smashing on 28th St too). Alvin runs to Girard window and smashes guy up against wall (KO'd). Guy pokes around bedroom doorway with wand. James grabs coffee table .45 and drops wand guy. Sean heads for the bedrom. Mike-cat heads out into hall/stairway. Maeve tears into bedroom - fire in there now. Also: weapons in closet. Alvin jumps out window. James runs into bedroom w/fire extinguisher and starts putting out fire. Sean comes in and swings sword at guy. Cat screams from hallway. Gallatin comes smashing in through living room wall (street side). Guy with fire SINGES me from kitchen. I shoot him but he doesn't go down. Maeve runs past with fire extinguisher. I shout, "Grab the briefcase!" Cat runs by and grabs briefcease and leaps out hole in wall. Gallatin offers to help, I give him ammo chest and we all exit. Get out in time to see portal closing on Alvin's back -- he's lunging at an unseen someone.
Mike + Alvin come back out through portal. Mave checks on bad guys and suddenly lunges at Alvin with her sword. James grabs briefcase and makes for portal (Alvin opened again).
James follows Maeve, Mike, Alvin through portal -- Mike chomps khatvanga, Alvin drops it when Maeve almost chops off his arm. Gallatin brings ammo trunk. Maeve comes in last. Mike gives James the khatvanga. Boss!
It's winter here. No shirt, no shoes.
Scene break!
