Be At Ease, Hunters

Presented below are the arcs and player characters for the Be At Ease, Hunters campaign. The campaign's activity and adventure logs are maintained on the Hero Games Forums.

Arc 1: The Tears of Tierrasola

High-schooler Joey and the salty retired SWAT Lt. turned Monster Hunter Drew began an unlikely partnership when caught in the middle of a Revenant attack in the sleepy suburb of Tierrasola. After killing a bunch of Revenants, the dynamic duo tracked the source of the revenant outbreak to the Tierrasola Memorial Hills cemetary up in the hills bordering the suburb, eventually finding the Black Wizard Antonio Aguilar in a many hundred year old marble crypt from the days of Spanish rule, using a powerful artifact in an attempt to resurrect long dead ancestors, powerful Black Wizards of centuries ago, in an attempt to return his diminished family to power in occult circles.

Arc 2: Into The Breach

Lucky bastard Drew and his young ward Joey of the Get of Fenris were tapped by Section M along with the surly vengeance seeking gunman James Killroy, and the aloof ritualist Wizard known as Murgatroyd to bravely be sent through a tear in the dimensional fabric separating their own reality from a darker one corrupted by Cthonic forces, which was apparently caused by the misadventures of the infamous Mysterian and Arcanist Miles Hendricks. The danger was unimaginable, but despite the horrific nature of the tainted dimension they traipsed through and the baleful attention of the Elder Things that fell upon them, the intrepid hunters managed to succeed entirely in their endeavor. By the end of it, they had acquired the powerful artifact known as the Heartstone, and killed the tragically fallen arcanist Nikolai in the process.

Arc 3: A Trick of the Night

Having survived the cloying tendrils and tentacled horrors of the Cthonic dimension of Nikolai and taken the Heartstone by right of conquest, the hunters returned home...and were immediately called upon to intervene in an emergent vampire outbreak at a club on Sunset Strip. Joined by three time survivor of supernatural horrors turned monster hunter Beretta Colt, and a lay brother of the Roman Catholic Church's ancient brotherhood of vampire slayers, Jack of the Ordo Sanguine, Murgatroyd, Killroy, Joey, and Drew careened off into the streets of L.A. to bring the final rest to any bloodsuckers they could run to ground.

Arc 4: Qlippothic Philosophic

Secret societies, esoteric eschatology, cthonic cults, and a legend from the dawn of Hermetic magic long believed to be apocryphal.... falsely

 Beretta 

Beretta is a multiple supernatural event survivor, starting off as a victimized cheerleader and ending as an extremely competent and distinguished monster killer with a respectable number of notches on her gunbelt. Almost all of her former friends, her fiance, and her parents were killed by various supernatural predators and consequently Beretta is uncompromising and as hard as they come. She's fought and killed necromancers, a few kinds of zombies, a maniacal mystical murdering slasher, cultists of more than one ilk, and lots of vampires.

 Joey 

Though he doesn't know it yet Joey is descended from Manegarm, son of Fenrir, son of Loki. Despite looking like an average recent highschool graduate he is supernaturally powerful, with enhanced senses and strength and is virtually unkillable by mundane means. He is also quite sharp mentally, with a knack for technology. Talk of the godling hunter who seems to make a habit out of curb stomping rampaging vampires has begun to circulate in the shadows.

 Murgatroyd 

A reclusive wizard of a rather fringe variety of hermeticism with no other known practitioners, who has kept a low profile lurking around the Boston area for decades. In fact, until the last year or so he was so forgettable that everyone routinely forgot he existed unless actively reminded. Something changed, and suddenly he's on the scene with a group of hunters that seemed to come out of nowhere and immediately joined the big time. Certain people are starting to pay attention.

 Drew 

A retired SWAT Lieutenant who moonlighted from time to time with Donnovan's crew back in the day, Drew started hunting small bounties solo to supplement his pension. One thing led to another and he fell into the pit of success along with a band of hunters met along the way. But luck tends to fall Drew's way much more often than one would think; it's never a good idea to bet against him.

 Jack 

Raised by the Ordo Sanguine, a militant and secretive ordained order of the Roman Catholic Church dedicated to eradicating vampirism with two thousand years of esoteric history behind it, Jack was trained from the very earliest age to seek out and slay vampires using the order's fighting style and alchemical weapons. But recently he learned that he's been lied to all along about his own origins. It remains to be seen what he does about it.

 Killroy 

It has been a productive year for Killroy. A series of lucrative bounties restored his finances and a new business venture renewed his interests in real estate speculation; he's been very busy in recent months acquiring distressed and undervalued properties through various cutouts and middlemen in urban areas across the country. Upping his profile served many purposes, including drawing the attention of an elitist and ancient esoteric organization. Killroy successfully passed rounds of vetting and has been secretly admitted as a member. What his ultimate plan is, only Killroy knows.
