Wabbit Season A Buffy the Vampire Slayer Role Playing Game Episode

Prelude

It's hunting season again in WV, and the animal rights groups are protesting - again. In front of the Mountainlair, no less, as the PCs are walking in to hang out (Bob Ritchens has driven one of the PC's, lives next door, gives rides when Car Guy isn't around...)- school's out on the first day of the season. Car Guy's telling them about a party he's going to that night - it's a kegger since someone's parents are both out of town (arrange this with your group's "Car Guy" ahead of time). Some of the protesters, though, are getting a little extreme, holding signs with photoshopped deer "hunters" killing humans and the like. The protesters are almost blocking the entrance; one shoves a flyer showing a graphically prepped deer into the hands of a PC.

There are some rednecks causing problems as well - coming out as the PCs are coming in, starting a fight with the protesters (pushing match gone bad).

If the PC's don't think of saying it, an NPC says "They'd better watch it, otherwise someone is going to get hurt..."

To get the PC's to move along, feel free to get a full brawl going on and have the cops show up...

Act One - Dead Man Hunting

(Act One and Two didn't flow quite like I hoped it would - the NPC killings got really bunched up, and that sucked. You may want to change this to an event-driven scenario rather than the timeline I had here.)

Car Guy had to leave his vehicle near the frat party; it was waaaaaay too obvious after a few blocks that he was waaaaay too drunk, and didn't want to scratch his car. So he parked it by South Park and caught a cab home.... but now it's time to pick it up in the early AM (things to do, people to see, despite the pounding headache - got an interview with a recruiter from WVU after all).

When he gets to the car, left near a stream where fish are jumping and dancing BE SURE TO MENTION THIS the dead hunter's body is trussed on the hood, like a deer would be. His head is gone (cut just above the clavicle), skinned, blood is drained, and the "good meat" has been cut out - very similar to the picture of the cleaned deer. There is a "note" made from his chest skin, with a symbol cut out of it (see props). Cops, I hope, are called.

News reports later in the day reveal that two companions of Brad Manning (Joe Smith and his brother John) are missing; all three had left to go hunting the day before. One of the protesters is interviewed:

"Do you regret the deaths?" "No! They go out and kill defenseless deer - now they know what it feels like!"

Symbol is revealed as some kind of earth-mother worship symbol, but no names are named. Yet. It is the mystical cross of Shud-Nugra, worshipped by people favoring long hair, for both males and females, favoring nature over humanity, and hallucenogenic drugs.

If PC's decide to follow the protester, they *will* find him leaving, and with something that looks like a gun (it's a paintball rifle - he's stupidly deciding to go scare some more hunters).

Regardless of how they confront the protester-dude (or if they don't), they hear a nearby shot, a scream, and a "You got 'em, Bubba!"

Act Two - Illegal Aliens

As the PC's (I hope) run towards the area, or otherwise the cops pull by (being auspiciously close), they hear "Oh Shit!" (very twangy!) and see (somehow) a bright red Jeep with two figures (with rifles) in it driving off- and a big confederate flag on the back rear tire. Oh, and no plates (sorry!)

The victim is a college student - in fact, another one of the protesters. She is simply shot - and maybe a bite taken out of her arm.

The next morning, a news report airs with another hunter found dead at the edge of South Park. He was drained of blood, and marks where a small animal had apparently chewed on his neck. The announcer actually jokes about vampires!

The PC's also find a threatening note (pick your favorite PC)... also written on skin (and in blood): "Do not interfere with the hunt"

That night, they see the Jeep (looking for it or not - worst case, one hears screeching tires outside the window and sees it drive by). If they just sic cops on it, cops get thrashed. :/ If they go after it, though, they find two (pretty weak - just barely above human) demons hunting college students from a "stand". Pretty pathetic, actually. VERY hick. "Just heard there was good huntin' around here!" "Yeah, them college kids, them's good eatin'!"

(As a side note, my PCs ended up not falling for this red herring, and called the FBI. The demons ended up being... deported.)

Just after dispatching demons, a cell phone rings. It's Bob Ritchens. "Dude, I'm here to pick you up at the ice rink, and I don't ....eurk!" "I told you to not interfere. Now, a different hunt. I hide. You seek." *click*

Act Three - Fishy business

The ice rink is on the border of South Park, by the large wooded area. Bob's SUV is on the edge of the parking lot by the woods; the trail back is one of the larger ones. Much creepy. There is another note, with a lock of Bob's hair attached to it.

Alive without breath, as cold as death; never thirsty, ever drinking, all in mail, never clinking.

The answer is: "a fish", and hopefully it will remind Car Guy of where he got his car from. So there they go.

South Park has a set of winding quasi-hills, about fifteen feet wide at the base, and about the same high, usually about fifty feet long. Nobody seems to know what they are, but at least some think that they are buried oil containers. At least one is - the one with a small candle lit inside it, with a cut doorway in the middle of the long side standing open.

The case is decorated as a home, with wood floors and a small fireplace. It has mounted heads all along the walls - not of animals, but of humans. on the right side of the doorway is a blood-stained altar, upon it is another one of those symbols.

On the left side is a table and chairs, a small daybed (currently unoccupied). One of the chairs is occupied by Bob, his head slumped forward and unmoving.

When PC comes forward, they'll notice the fangholes about the same time that he raises her head and says "Boo, dude".

Other vamp comes from behind,cursing them in German. He's dressed in greens and leather, and has a mask shaped to look like lots of leaves (a green man mask)

Postlogue

It's clear there are no other vampires or hunters. All remains are positively accounted for. How they explain it to people... well, that's THEIR problem.

The Journal is of a vampire named Erder Romman; he lived in the Black Woods happily feeding on the occassional tourist or fool that tried to hunt there - it's possible that he's the basis of some of the "green man" legends. It's mostly worthless ravings, though it does hint about the sacrifices he was in the process of making, "One for each of her thousand young..." At any rate, he recieved a strange vision that he was to travel here, to this place to do her bidding. He was confused, "for her voice was unlike that of most days", but he came anyway.

The PCs are flipping through the journal they found, when a package is delivered to that house. It is addressed to the child of the house... and friends. (has to be one of them from 1st adventure).n The package has a note "best three of five?" along with a mirror like the ones from Narcissism, signed by N. Lars Hotek......
