A Message<\/b><\/p>\n

Winston is contacted by Ernesto.\u00c2\u00a0 The mobster had a body deposited to a parking garage at one of his hotels.\u00c2\u00a0 Ernesto wants Winston and MD to investigate, clean, and lose the body.\u00c2\u00a0 The hunters examine a body that has been killed and stuffed into a garbage bag.\u00c2\u00a0 The body is one of Ernesto’s pimps named Jonny Tang.\u00c2\u00a0 Jonny’s head is smashed open in the same fashion as MD’s friend Six.\u00c2\u00a0 On his head is drawn the letter “L” in blood.\u00c2\u00a0 Ernesto explains that the body is a message from one of his former bartenders named Ray Morales.\u00c2\u00a0 Ray’s girl, Lana, is one of Jonny’s whores.\u00c2\u00a0 Ernesto called Ray a loser in front of Lana.\u00c2\u00a0 He thought Ray should work harder before demanding a promotion.\u00c2\u00a0 Apparently Ernesto took over the La Luxure when first Ray’s manager then owner die under mysterious circumstances.\u00c2\u00a0 The owner left the place to Ray in his will.<\/p>\n

After speaking with Ernesto, MD and Winston head off to the motel to speak to Jonny’s girls.\u00c2\u00a0 Lana explains that Jonny came to her acting like a “bigshot”.\u00c2\u00a0 Ray’s girlfriend seems upset and suggests that Ray has “changed”.\u00c2\u00a0 Lana explains that several months ago when Ray was working he was visited by this “bald little man that works for a newspaper”.\u00c2\u00a0 The hunters make the connection to Tim Williamson.<\/p>\n

Bonfire Bash<\/b><\/p>\n

After discussing the facts the group decides to setup surveillance on the La Luxure.\u00c2\u00a0 While at the restaurant Winston and Kirk observe four large men speaking to Ray and Mike.\u00c2\u00a0 The men are from the Constantin camp who are running the still.\u00c2\u00a0 They appear to be asking Ray for more money to product and deliver the moonshine.\u00c2\u00a0 Mike moves forward as if he might engage the four men when Ray stops him.\u00c2\u00a0 Surprisingly Ray then retrieves a briefcase full of cash and hands it to the men.\u00c2\u00a0 When the four men have left Mike asks Ray why they did not just kill them.\u00c2\u00a0 Ray tells Mike that he is not sure he could had done it!\u00c2\u00a0 When Ron views the video he is sure the men are not normal and suggests that they are moving in a reptilian fashion.<\/p>\n

At midnight Ray leaves the restaurant in a limo with Mike and Lana.\u00c2\u00a0 The three are quickly followed by the hunters.\u00c2\u00a0 The limo drives out of town to a small campground.\u00c2\u00a0 As the hunters stop their cars many other cards approach the campground and drive inside.\u00c2\u00a0 Each driver appears to be under the control of the moonshine!\u00c2\u00a0 The PC act quickly.\u00c2\u00a0 Ron and MD sneak through the wood into the campsite.\u00c2\u00a0 Kirk jumps into the back of a pickup truck of one of the moonshine drivers.\u00c2\u00a0 Stone and Winston cleverly dilate their eyes then drive into the campground as if they are under the influence of the moonshine.<\/p>\n

At the site is a large pentagram with a bonfire in the center and small braziers at all points of the mystical star.\u00c2\u00a0 Near the bonfire is Ray, Mike, and a sheep.\u00c2\u00a0 After examining the circle Stone realizes that Ray is going to attempt to summon a very powerful loa.\u00c2\u00a0 He plans to use the moonshine victims as mana for his Black Magic ritual!\u00c2\u00a0 Stone also finds the verbiage calling for Outer Dark energy!\u00c2\u00a0 Stone concludes that Ray does not realize how much power he will be releasing and calls for the hunters to act.\u00c2\u00a0 Ron rushes out of the trees and kick over one of the braziers.\u00c2\u00a0 MD knocks a knife out of Ray’s hand before he can sacrifice the sheep!\u00c2\u00a0 Kirk stands up and kills Mike with a barrage of assault rifle fire!\u00c2\u00a0 Stone uses his telekinesis to grab Ray and throw him out of the magic circle.\u00c2\u00a0 This gives Winston the opportunity to coat him in one of his magical oil slicks.\u00c2\u00a0 As Ray tries to get his bearings small black circular portals open releasing floating mechanical torture dogs!\u00c2\u00a0 These floating beasts move to attack the hunters.\u00c2\u00a0 After escaping the dogs Kirk looses a volley at Ray that breaks down his shield then kills him.<\/p>\n

As Ray dies his spell fades, the dogs vanish, and the controlled people begin to wake up.\u00c2\u00a0 With that the group leaves the scene.\u00c2\u00a0 While they did not get the still they dealt with a large roadblock in the form of Ruby Ray Morales and hit large friend Locomotive Mike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
