A minor vigilante supers group. Nice. At least some of them are clearly not to be underestimated (I presume bokors roughly LT level enemies with the Barons).

The frog guy raises some interesting implications.

I do wonder how much of what the two guys saw was illusion. The whole vigilante justice angle does tend to preclude anything particularly sinister.

You have no idea the implications the frog guy raises. Trust me. None at all.
Normally, he's a suave secret agent and man about town.

I think the frog man might have been a murderer or rapist of some sort.,,,, maybe he deserved being turned into a frog man....

Is this the 3rd week in a row for lore now?

Don't hate the updates, just because they're Lore! Lore is good! Lore helps the Game be good.

I'd rather have a Lore update than NO update.

Be Well!

Hmmm the weird sisters could be cousins of Katie Hannon ?!

I heartily concur, CB! I suspect that the Weird Sisters are those three witches in MacBeth, Act III, Scene 1. If so, then there were two familiars mentioned in that scene -- a cat *and* a frog!

*purrs because she doesn't need a curse in order to have kitty ears!*

Very cool. It's nice to see some street-level stuff. I like the superpowered fire gangs and power-armored SWAT team thing, but that's still another league or two up on the food chain compared to punishing people for the mere mistreatment of people. I was also quite fond of the blatant banality of the witches attire and decoration. All too often, anything of this substance seems to demand a style of "the old ways, and only the old ways, and your garment isn't PERIOD!" It's great to see some wielders of the dark arts embracing modern consumerism. It adds a bit of realism, and helps support the suspension of disbelief.

Fank-mew! [Translation: Thank-you to everyone who has been supporting Amerikitty-brand novelties during my absence. Those fiendishly fiendish fiends in the Amerikatt Revenge Squad have been keeping me prisoner, and Katt-Mite has been tickling my toes! He thinks he's doing me a favor. *rolls eyes*]

Hm. Looks like nobody's decided to comment on the trick.

There was a little extra art in the KS version of this update.

It shows an entirely different faction.

If that's important, shouldn't there have been some indication of it in the story itself? Without an indication of that, you might as well be saying, "You guys have no indication how incredibly important that redhead was. The one we didn't mention but was there the whole time."

I believe that comment was mostly tongue in cheek.

There were more than a few clues that the Weird Sisters are more than a bunch of women throwing about minor magic tricks. Nonetheless, the reason the presence of the frog-man raises interesting implications is that it hints that they can either summon/create familiars (potentially in the same manner that they used to make the guy into a zombie) or that they have allies.
