Just as it looks like we are going to spend yet another day out here my periodic scrying of our target revealed he was in the city and on his way towards the bar. We get into our positions and as our quarry nears one of the ghouls's spidey senses goes off and pulls a gun and takes a shot at us. Apparently with all constant threat of violence in this place it hones their senses. Ohm deflects the bullet and it hits the ghoul in his shooting hand forcing him to drop the gun. I command the three of them to stop what they are doing, drop their weapons and get on the ground. As expected, they obey. Hector turns into a wolf and covers the distance to Feruk in a breath and pulls him into the alley. I open a portal to our nearby apartment and we all leave quickly. I love it when a plan comes together.
We begin to interogate our new prisoner. Asking him about his boss, Amul Mohamand Omar. Feruk says the guy changed a few months ago, shortly after Oct. The Amul became much more aggressive and out of control, he has also ceased being active during the day and is looking quite pale. Feruk them mentions that his boss is waiting for us in a fortified mansion. We should be alarmed that this vampire knows were are lookign forh im but we aren't. We have alot of enemies and he probably sensed the precense of the other three motes. Feruk finally caves in and says he will help us if we get his family to safety and we agree. Feruk fills us in on the details and then leads us to his families residence. We don't want to be followed so I portal us in which of course scares the crap out of them but we are able to calm them down enough to get them packing. When they are finally ready I portal to New York City and take the family to the closet mosque and head back to Kabul. While I was gone Danno had found him a dead guy on a nearby rooftop. He had went to have a talk with him and found out this guy was here to kill Feruk but he was stopped by a sniper's bullet before he could. I used a bit of space and time and was able to track the bullet back to it's origin, the tower of a large mosque nearby. We headed up to the tower and found the sniper rifle but nothing else. I took a quick look back in to the past and saw a heavily cloaked and gloved figure fire the rifle, drop it and then jump off the tower. This was a very tall tower, only a supernatural could survive that kind of fall but we didn't know who or why. We will focus on this later, right now we have a war to prepare. We came to the conlusion that we would convince the other warlords that t hey need to band together and assault the Amul's stronghold. While the sleepers were taking care of the troops and providing a distraction we would enter through the shadow and try to get the Amul without too many minions to plow through. I started working on my plan for the warlords while Red took off to scout the shadow around the Amul's mansion.
I came up with a plan to co locate myself into each of the warlords bedrooms. I would use the aura and my soon to be Oscar worthy acting skills to convince them that I was the Prophet Mohammad. As the prophet I would order them to band together and assault the infidel Amul who was an enemy of Allah. Slightly before dawn I appeared into each of the warlord's room and gave my orders. They were entirely convinced and immediately set out to begin amassing their troops. Our army was gathering.
Two successfully executed plans in three days? This was getting weird, something had to go wrong soon.
Did some math and realized it was still the day before St Patrick's day back in Chicago. Since we had to wait for the warlords to amass their army we had time to head back and do a pub crawl. Hector couldn't quite grasp the concept of going drinking the day before a big battle. We enticed him with the promise of bar fights and Ohm found a big ass russian girl for him to go out with and he finally agreed. Danno did something but I seem to have forgotten what it was, on purpose.
