    This week: The gang takes on The Hierophant Nightclub. Not for nuyen, not for drugs, and certainly not for the show. Well, maybe some of us are here for the show. The crew is here instead to reach one Catherine O’Leary, who rumor has it has been sticking their hand too deeply into the company cookie jar and Mr. Johnson has taken notice. Now, it is up to our players to find a way to right this wrong. Their solution will be creative. Their safety will not be guaranteed. And, if all goes according to plan, they should find themselves in over their heads before too long. And how much drugs is the right amount of drugs to OD a Troll? River Bear gets a new shirt. Lester Moore has an active imagination. Mo meets the staff. Lockdown has done enough. Panchetta probes for weaknesses.

    This week: It’s showtime! Our players get ready to see Infernus Erectus live on stage at The Hierophant Nightclub. But the real show for our gang of Shadowrunners lies somewhere deep within the bowels of the club - where a high-stakes gambling game is all that stands in the way between the runners and a nice payday. Now it is time for the the runs first challenge: getting in to the venue without raising the alarm. River Bear gets a new shirt. Lester Moore has an active imagination. Mo meets the staff. Lockdown has done enough. Panchetta probes for weaknesses.

    Editors note: We ended up losing a player halfway through last session, and it didn’t seem right to meet the Johnson without the face. We do a little bit of a rewind to cover that, then the gang gets to work!

    This week: Our players meet with a familiar Mr. Johnson. After learning about the job, the crew gets together, calls in favors from contacts and get a little bit of leg work in before the start of their next run. River Bear . Lester Moore calls a friend. Mo discusses her next shadowjob. Lockdown has a plan. Panchetta won’t discuss her employer.
