The Incident Room: General Chat

As a London copper, I’ve seen some pretty weird shit, but even I was taken aback when I learned that magic was actually a thing. Real, proper magic, with spells and everything!

Also, ghosts are real! And vampires, trolls, fairies, river gods… and there’s this whole subculture of weirdos and half-fae… oh, and don’t get me started on talking bloody foxes…

Shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Metropolitan Police secretly know all about this crap. There’s the Special Assessment Unit, run from this posh house called The Folly by a posh Detective Inspector called Nightingale (and his apprentice Peter Grant), that investigates supernatural crimes and other weird bollocks. And it turns out, they’re recruiting…

He completely failed to resist Mrs. Evans’ compulsion, so was forced to go to the school crossing (and on to the new post).

It’s a moot point actually, as Mrs. Evans spent a shedload of Luck to turn her POW roll into a 1 (Demi monde can do that), beating everyone’s score, success or not.

Not railroady at all, no siree.

If Des looks like wandering off to Hell, Skipper will attempt to use a BJJ throw to deposit her (relatively gently) road-side.

I am going to traveling to Germany for the next two weeks, so my posting will be spotty or not at all.

I apologize for the short notice.

Can I just check what happened? Leo made a POW roll instead of CON, or was that just a typo and it was the CON roll? And then Leo fireballed Mrs Evans but hit the unloved Councillor Short instead? Where did Short come from? Or was he something only the two magic coppers can see?

Just wanted to be clear before I posted another action for Skipper.

Probably a lack of description on my part.

Leo should’ve rolled CON, so I took the result of his POW.

Mrs. Evans turned into the gateway, through which you were swallowed, so she’s no longer present. She’s been telling you that she is the gatekeeper and the gate itself :)

So when Leo cast his fireball, it hit Councillor Short as he ran towards you. Luckily he only took 1 Damage, so is just a little singed!

Cool. I thought perhaps Leo had been asked to make a POW roll to see something the rest of us couldn't.

So really, Short was just in the wrong place. What a shame.

Yeah, I thought fireballing the guy you’re supposed to be bringing to justice was too good an opportunity to miss :D
