[edit] Session 1
- Your mission, should you chose to accept it...
Eugene William Harrison III, wizard and professor at UofT is murdered. The ward council assigns the group to investigate the matter impartially and point a finger at someone politically convenient. The black court interrupts the investigation via thralls but are chased off.
Leads exhausted, the group turns to thaumaturgy as a last resort. A brutal all-nighter ritual ensues to find a missing book linked to the victim and Alecto zooms off to home in on the signal. But instead of waiting for the others, he ambushes a summer faerie who appears to be their thief and a likely suspect in the murder.
[edit] Session 2
- Wizards, Can't live with em...
Bognar and Brand are the first on the scene and things escalate, the fight mostly demolishing a house. Panoply is finally subdued by Eriz Zhang's minivan but is cleared of the murder - being unable to tell a direct lie. The book is recovered and they take a closer look at the life of the victim.
Harrison's body at the morgue turns out to be that of one of his students with a substitute to mimic the student. Leroy Valais, another Wizard, explains the book teaches one to eat the power of non-mortals and bognar reveals he has been busy preparing for the dragons yearly sleep cycle - when it will be vulnerable.
Police intervention delays the groups return to defend the dragon, finding the offices defenses broken, they plow throw smokey demons to rescue survivors and reach the dragon's sanctum. A grueling confrontation the living, deformed Eugene ends when the investigators wake the dragon ahead of schedule and eats Eugene.

[edit] Session 1
- Dinner Of Death
The investigators attend a Ward Council dinner and are expected to explain the incident with the Toronto Dragon including placing blame or absolving the Wards. Things go well enough until a brute force attack interrupts the proceedings. The Ghost Maidens fail to kill everyone but force many to retreat into the Never-Never.
A consult with Andrea Chan tells the investigators much about the assassins and soon it is revealed they all have a contract on their heads. They make plans to hide themselves, resolving to retaliate as soon as the hide out of these Ghost Maidens can be discovered. On a light note, Rob Ford is elected mayor.
[edit] Session 2
- Sleepless in Toronto
Emerging from hiding, the Investigators are given the task of retaliating against the Ghost Maidens. Their lair, a great black citadel in the never-never seems to have gotten stuck on the nexus of the CN tower. Apollo mentions it was originally constructed by the White God to hold many older deities like himself.
The Investigators learn the Maidens are trying to open the fortress using Eric Zhang as a key. A terrible battle against Jotunn or Fire Giants. Zhang is rescued but Damien O'Moore barely survives and Bognar and Brand throw down over Bognars murder of the Ghost Maidens instead of trying to free them.
[edit] Session 3
- Ticking Timebomb
Tensions rise between the Wards over whether to open the prison of the gods. Summer and the White Court Vampires are for opening, Winter and the Black Court are against it. The Dragon abstains and the Water Spirits are silent. Supernatural skirmishes begin even as diplomacy works to slow the process.
The Investigators work to guard the fortress but are distracted by the abduction of Eric Zhang by the Water Spirits. Freeing him involves fighting Fish People and it seems a permanent solution must be found and soon.
[edit] Session 4
- Our Worst Enemy, Ourselves
Infighting over what to do with Eric Zhang, aka The Key, begins as a permanent solution to the situation is needed. Finally Apollo is consulted and asked to remove and destroy the keyness from Eric. Apollo agrees and the sky begins raining blood. A disturbing intrusion into the local never-never has begun.
Scouting the intruder via blimp and fending off Fish People attacks, the Investigators brave razor blade rain and return with its name: Dagon, an old god. Apollo decides only the powers of the gods locked away could oppose the intruder and sends them to aquire a new key...From Loki.
[edit] Session 5
- Let's Make a Deal
Loki, founder of Google, hints that his son Brann is also a suitable key to the prison. A plan is engineered to taunt Dagon, lead him to the prison and trap him in it. The White Council helps to launch Mt. Rushmore at Dagon and a chase to the prison follows.
The Gods flee the Prison and the power vacuum sucks Dagon in. Chamuel, a servant of the white god invests the Investigators with power for their defense of reality. They report the situation to the Ward Council and threaten to release Dagon unless they are given the Water Spirits' Ward.

[edit] Session 1
- On A Hot Summer Night...
Rocco Perri Calls in Doctor Urs and Associates for a consult on a tricky ward. Joshua McDoom demands they fix it in one night: leading to shenanigans, theft, property damage and one broken electrician. They're paid an astonishing amount, acquire a tiny demon and a box labeled 'For sweet sixteen my dear, From your Grandma Hazel.'
The night turns sour as an ambush by changelings and faeries under the command of the Summer Knight is sprung. Victorious in the confrontation, Doctor Urs nearly pays with his life, Rocco is almost abducted and Nikolai fails to slay Wade and protect Alecto - their only consolation is having bested the Knight on the battlefield, learned his plans and stolen his clothes and weapons.
