Pre-Chronicle

• May 14, 1896: Master Kang Lu receives a dream-vision of the mage he is to take as his apprentice, and discovers that he won't be born until the late 1900s. So, he prepares a set of scenarios, and a handful of clues to lead the young mage to view those scenarios post-cognitively.
• 1897: The Tri Ptitsy take over the Hotel Regina from Master Kang Lu.
• 1902: Master Kang Lu dies of old age. He is buried in a beautiful tomb in the Babylon Gardens Cemetery.
• 1904: The Columbia Consilium is founded, uniting the Awakened of Astoria, Warrenton and Seaside, OR, and Chinook and Ilwaco, WA, with Lady Alkanost of the Tri Ptitsy as the Hieararch.
• November 2009: The Portland cabal Magnum Opus awakens their apprentices, bid them to form a cabal and then sends them out of Portland. They do not explain the mysterious circumstances, but do give them an objective: secure the powerful Hallow in the Hotel Regina in Old Town Astoria.

Session Zero (9.24.11)

• Many imbued items were created. Many dice were rolled. Malachite slept for a week.

Session One (9.30.11)

• The day starts quietly, with the cabal resting, spending time with friends, and catching up on needed chores, both magical and mundane.
• Tanya accidentally spills the beans about what really happened to Valentina. Issa catches hell over it, despite his protests that, because of what he did, Valentina is finally getting her act together. Sophie is understandably upset.
• Sam wants to set up an office in the Regina, 'cause why not?
• Tobias interrupts our interrogation of Issa to let us know he found a strange Mardi Gras style mask hanging on the fence outside the hotel.
• Autumn pre-cogs the mask and sees Detective Dean Newcomb hanging it on our fence. We automatically assume that our local Seer rivals are responsible, since they've used the poor detective as a puppet before.
• A mage montage ensues, but examining the mask with our various spells and mage sights reveals nothing. It seems to be a perfectly ordinary and rather cheap porcelain mask.
• Suddenly, all of our Unseen Senses go off. When we investigate, we find a strange woman out in front of the hotel, stumbling around as though she is very, very drunk. Her eyes glow a brilliant red. She seems ecstatic that we have the mask, which she claims is hers. Fate magic supports her claim.
• We know she has to be supernatural, but to mage sight she seems perfectly ordinary. We don't find out until much too late that she has just eaten the ward on the Regina.
• Serafina asks the woman her name. She offers a phrase in French, which translate to "Red Eyes." Autumn recognizes the reference. The woman is a Loa, a hedonist who will try any drug, imbibe any alcohol. She is also the lover who can never be satisfied, and she kills any man she sleeps with.
