Ok, I went ahead and made the changes; if more are needed let me know.
Question (yeah I know when will they end? )
Metaphysics are powers right? Oath of Duty doesn't sound like a power? It sounds more like a Drawback to me. I mean I get the idea of Drawbacks, gives the character flaws. But OoD definitely doesn't seem like it can be used really.

Thanks. I found them. All but the Tainted Battle Boost? Is that a Meta or not?
A few questions?
Drawbacks:
Delusions of Grandeur? Is she delusional if she is Grand?
Vanity? You think she is Vane? I mean just because she dresses in designer clothes, rides around in a chauffeured limo, and stays in a $3M 4 story townhouse on the top of a Downtown building? Well. Ok maybe you got me on that one.
I did make a few adjustments on the combat moves under Martial Arts; Krav Maga doesn't have a lot of kicking from what I am reading. It is sort of a combination of Judo, Aikido, Boxing and Wrestling along with street fighting techniques. It is sort of a vicious art meant to end the fight quickly and effectively; at least that is what Wikipedia says.
If we are ok with the Character sheet Ver2.1.3, then I will go ahead and post it to the Character thread. If we want to change anything else, before things really get going, it will be there waiting.

Subject: Possibilites
Hmm.. I had thought created, but maybe the GM can clarify for us?
He did say that we couldn't see all the upper parts of the chamber, so they could have come in up there somewhere.
No cold spells, nothing magical that I think I have that could cool anything down. I like the bug leg to dig out the eggs and let them cool. You would think they have to stay hot to incubate, makes sense.
Well someone will check the pack, whomever wants to can. I think they ate the messenger. 
I think we can examine those doors closer and make a determination after we find out what's there. We might need a couple mins to rest and handle the eggs and the messenger bag before we start opening the doors.

These books are confusing for someone unfamiliar with this stuff. If your looking for a certain thing, like the Metaphysic abilities, it is hard to find.
I went through them all in the Witchcraft book and can't find the Hideaway or Oath of Duty.

Yeah, at first perusal it looks great. I'm getting ready to leave work so I will look it over in detail tonight. I assume the Metaphysics stuff is in one of those books.
Thank everyone!
Oh, yes. Glad you two got rid of those crazy marks. Man, when I was reading all of the back posts, that was so annoying. It made understanding a bit harder on my blonde brain.

Topic: Witchcraft: Stare into the Night
Subject: Intro Part Two
Downtown Chicago, One Museum Park, Katul's Apartment, 8:48pm
Ding!
The elevator doors slide open and Cyrene glided from into the hallway leading up to Katul's door, along with a sentry from downstairs who had accompanied her up here. She saw ahead the human sentry on the right, and the statue of a black stone cat with horns to the left. She smirked at the statue. He still has that damn thing, how vain! She thought as she walked up to the door, but her way was barred by the tall black man with a shaved head. He wore mirrored sunglasses inside, she never understood the appeal of that fashion statement, and the typical black suit but with a blood red shirt. She liked his shirt at least; she spotted the golden medallion of the Cult bared for all to see. The sentry stepped forward to block her further access as she stopped and looked up at him with a raised eyebrow.
"She's here to see Mr. Katul," the other Sentry from downstairs said for her. He didn't know why he had let her up here. Normally, no one was allowed up unless Mr. Katul was expecting them, but the Lady had a way about her that said it was alright as long as he followed and explained. The tall black man's head swiveled to the other man, then back to the woman. He stood silently for a long moment before speaking.
"No one is expected," he said in a deep baritone voice. That was all that he said and just stood still barring their way.
The other sentry started to speak, but a gesture of the woman's left hand made him remain silent. The woman walked up to stand close to him and gazed up into his eyes; a small smile came to her lips.
"Mr. Katul will see me," she said, "so announce me." Her tone was commanding as if she wasn't use to someone getting in her way or disobeying her. The man shook his head slightly as he reached out a meaty hook of a right hand to grasp her by the upper left arm. It appeared as if he intended to show her back to the elevator from whence she came. The woman's smile broadened slightly as she turned her head to look at the other sentry.
"Despite appearances," she said to him, "it appears you are the smart one."
"So you must be the big one," she said turning back to the man gripping her arm, "Big, but dumb." She continued as she reached over and patted his right hand that gripped her arm, with open right hand. When she did, a small twitch of her fingers caused a small, but sharp pin to flick out of her ring. As she withdrew her hand the pin scratched the back man's hand drawing blood. He stepped back and grasped his hand in shock; anger came to his face as he started to reach for her but then froze.
The scratch quickly turned bright red as pain started to fill the man's eyes; he tried to speak but no words came forth. He raised his injured hand and saw the wound was festering quickly; he staggered back as his skin began to blister and boils formed on his hand and within seconds were appearing up his neck and to his face. He continued to try and form words, but all that came out was a long undulating scream as he flesh seemed to start to melt off of him as he collapsed to the floor.
The other sentry staggered back himself watching the other man die, in what must have been a very painful death. The body had no sooner his the floor and the screams stopped as a putrid odor rose from the decaying corpse. The glint in the woman's eyes as the man's screams stopped was one of pure joy. Another gesture sent to pin back into the ring, just as the door behind the sentry opened and the man she had come to see stood there.
"What is going on out here?," Katul began, "didn't I say no interruptions to..." His voice trailed off as he saw who was standing out in the hallway with a beatific smile upon her perfect lips.
"Cyrene?" he started and then smelt the death and looked down, "and why did you do that to my man? The humans are cheap, but so hard to train..."
The death of his man didn't seem to bother him all that much; what worried him more was why she was here. They both served the same Master, and even worked together on several occasions, even taking order from him at times; but usually she worked alone with orders directly from the Master himself. He didn't hate her, they had a common goal, it was just that he didn't like other Servants of Azazel around unless he was in charge of them.
"I have come on business," she said, emphasizing the last word, "and your man dared to grab me."
Katul sighed and nodded; he knew that was something that would not be tolerated by Cyrene, at least not without her permission. She had a temper, and loved to inflict pain especially upon mortal's and to vex her in any manner was often the last thing someone would do.
"Very well, it's St. Patty's Day..." Katul said stepping lightly backward into his doorway. As she stepped into the room past him, he turned his face to the man left standing in the hallway. "Take out the trash. I want this gone when I open this door again." His gaze told the man of his seriousness; the sentry only nodded vigorously and then turned and ran towards the elevator to get assistance. Katul smirked at him and closed the door before he turned to face the woman visiting him.
Cyrene looked about his elaborate apartment; the large window overlooking the Downtown area with the Lake beyond, the leather furniture, large black desk and chairs, but little else in décor. The only item was that 'stupid' old painting showing the horned demon overlooking a herd of goats. He had that thing forever and found enjoyment in displaying it proudly. She found such displays to be vulgar; she didn't need to have paintings or statues to show whom she served or what she believed in; her devotion was clear to anyone who really knew her.
"Why don't you just pull up a stool and have a drink with us? I have a lovely bottle of organic milk..." Katul asked as he moved over to his desk and curled himself down into the high-backed chair. He did it to show her who was the Boss here, in this place. He knew her all too well; she was like him and loved to be in charge of a situation. It gnawed at both of them to have to another powerful Servant around over which you didn't have any real control.
"I'm fine, thank you," she said plainly as she turned to the window view to see him sitting at this big desk. She smirked knowing exactly what he was trying to tell her. "Let's get down to business shall we?
"Lets," Katul replied.
"You have a problem here," she began as she slowly walked about his room, her eyes watching him, "it has not gone unnoticed that someone is killing your Cult Members; roasting some of them alive." The last brought a smile; it was something she would enjoy herself.
"I am aware of it, and we're working on it."
"You mean you have your underlings working on it," Cyrene snorted, "We both know how you are Katul. You don't like to get your claws dirty with mundane issues. You prefer to use you members to handle things and seldom get directly involved unless you deem it personal." She turned to look full at him, but he didn't deny any of her words.
"Exactly," she said going on, "I have been dispatched to handle the problem. I don't believe I need to say by whom" It was a statement and not a question.
Katul's ire showed upon his face and he shook his head. Why couldn't he be left to handle his own problems? This was his city, or it would be soon, and he couldn't understand why Cyrene, of all people, had to be the one sent to take over the situation.
"What do you want Cyrene?" Katul asked as he controlled his anger and let it one more sink deep inside him. He knew nothing he could say or do would change it; the Master had sent her so he could not do otherwise than to let her do her thing and he would have to help her in any way possible. Subterfuge here was useless; the Master would know if he attempted to sabotage her efforts in this matter.
"Why," Cyrene began lifting her hands in a gesture of helplessness, "just to do our Master's biding of course. I mean it has been going on a year now, and the deaths can't be ignored. Someone has to step in and take a firm hand in the matter. Someone other than your pathetic mortals. Someone with real power." He knew without asking she meant herself, of course.
"It looks like we got us a cowboy..." with a sigh he examined his nails with seeming disinterest. "I will, of course, give you freedom in his matter," Katul said after finally calming himself, "I have some leads from my Cult members out there, but nothing definitive. I will make sure that all available information and clues will be given to you."
"Thank you Katul," she said with a smile. She knew how far she could go with him, and she had estimated that she had reached her limit and now was the time to show a little patience. "Tomorrow will be fine. If one of your underlings could maybe put everything you have onto a flash drive for me, I will examine it later."
"A what? oh... something from the fancy boxes. Vernon knows those..." Katul nodded to her as his hands lay upon the surface of the desk, his nails slowly digging scratches into the Ebony surface of the wood. He was calm, but scratching something was always a source of relaxation for him.
"Is there anything else I can do for you Cyrene?" He finally asked her in a calm relaxed voice.
"Well," she said with a pleasant smile, "I was going to have a late supper before retiring to my place. Perhaps you would like to join me?" She waited a few seconds before adding, "I was thinking of having sushi." Her grin broadened a bit. She knew he was upset at the situation, but there was nothing she could do about his bruised ego. She had endured the same feelings herself in dealings with him in the past, so why not try to soothe his a bit. After all, she needed his cooperation, especially since she would use his contacts and members to squeeze out every little bit of information she could get.
"No," Katul chuckled as the nostrils of his flattened nose flared, "I've already dined tonight."
"Very well Katul," Cyrene said as she turned to go, "could you please have one of your men bring over the flash drive in the morning? Please make sure to add in any contact information for your underlings; I may want to question them personally."
"Yes, of course," Katul said as he got up and followed her to the door, she opened it as she reached it and miraculously they found the body gone along with any sign that anything had even happened; even the putrid smell of melting flesh was gone. The sentry from downstairs was now standing guard in the same spot as the previous guard; looking for a promotion upstairs perhaps? Maybe he was the smart one. Cyrene whirled at the elevator after pressing the call button.
"I don't mean to step on your paws Katul," she said with a smile, "I'm only doing the same as you; obeying the Master's wishes."
"Of course Cyrene," Katul said pleasantly, "I wouldn't have it any other way. I'll catch you on the flip side..." As she stepped into the elevator and pressed the lobby button, he gave her a nod of his head which she returned before the doors closed between them.

Ok, so no essence or channeling but increase the Taint instead. That is what she uses for her powers (metaphysics'), that right?
I think I'll keep her invisibility and illusions as that sounds more like her than the Deathcurse. She prefers to cause the deaths with physical means, if possible.
Thanks for your help yet again!

Awesome! Welcome back Meri! Smoke is a critical role and while I'm sure Eol would given it his best, it just wouldn't be the same old Smoke without you!
Now that you're back, I wanted to ask if Katul is your PC or is he an NPC? Reason I'm asking, is my character is going to see him and Eol had told me to go ahead and NPC him for the encounter, but if you're back and he is one of your PCs then maybe it wouldn't be right for me to do that.

Subject: Enter the Femme Fatale
O'hare International Airport (ORD) - Chicago, 6:25pm
"Air France flight 144 from Paris arriving at Gate M13," sounded over the airport PA.
A dark haired beauty was one of the First Class passengers who disembarked first from the plane. She was of average height, with long dark hair which framed a lovely face. She wore a long red dress that clung to her body in all the right places to attract attention, and she carried herself with a confident, feline grace. Several men noticed her and couldn't help themselves from gawking at her; some receiving chastisement from the women that were with them. The woman only strode down the concourse, her sharp blue eyes seeming to ignore those around her, as she headed towards the customs area. Once there, she was miraculously ushered through without hardly any delay as other people griped and complained because they had to wait at the Customs agent's leisure. She had no luggage except a small case and a small handbag, so she didn't go through the baggage claim area, but instead headed right outside to the Arrivals pick-up area. Throngs of arriving passengers stood in groups awaiting the terminal buses, or tried to get one of the few taxis available, but she strode up to a waiting stretch limo with a liveried driver who opened the rear door for her. Stepping in without a word, the driver closed the door and hurried around to slip into the driver's seat. He pulled away with little care for the other cars, causing some to honk their annoyance.
"The Apartment, Ma'am?" the driver asked his passenger.
"Yes" a silky smooth voice floated up from the back of the limo, "Plane rides always leave me feeling unclean." She liked to fly, thinking it one of the greatest modern inventions to get her from one far away place to another. What would have taken months to traverse, now only took a little over 9hrs Non-Stop, but she hated the fact that she had to endure the closeness of other mortals.
"Very well, Ma'am," the driver acknowledged.
55 East Erie St #SH-2, Near North Side, Chicago, IL - 7:35pm
Cyrene stepped out of the private elevator and into her luxuriously furnished, 4 story town-home located on the 12th floor of the full-amenity luxury building. This place was overly large for just her, having a Master Bedroom with Full Master Bath, 2 other bedrooms, and 5 other bathrooms (3 full, 2 half). Most of the apartment had hardwood floors, except for the Master Bedroom which was carpeted. The place sported 2 Gas log Fireplaces (Living Room, Master Bedroom), a full custom kitchen with all the latest high-end (SubZero, Wolf & Miele) appliances. A wood paneled den with coffered ceiling, built-in bar and wine frig. The apartment was surrounded by a 1000+ sq.ft. Terrace with IPE Wood decking, outdoor kitchen with a Viking Grill/smoker. A 2 car garage downstairs was alloted her as well.
(Check out her place here if you like.)
Cyrene didn't need all this space, she only stayed here when in Chicago area, but she had places in major cities all over the world. She detested staying in hotels as you never knew who had stayed in the place before you. Here she knew that no one stayed here unless she was in town. Her staff, which would arrive in the morning to attend her needs while here, would be the only others that had access to her apartment.
She headed straight away to shower and get the plane stink off of her. Afterwords, she dried her hair, slipped into a Malachite colored Fendi Crepe De Chine Dress, and replaced her jewelry; the five diamond string earrings, and upon each hand she had 3 different rings one each on her thumbs, middle, and smallest fingers. She then moved to a walk in closet; within she pressed a hidden stud and one wall slide away to reveal a wall sporting all manner of weapons. Swords and knifes from many different periods were intermingled with modern firearms, handguns mostly, from large to small. She chose a few smaller items and concealed them about her person and into her purse, before closing the door. She went down to the 1st floor Living room and pressed the call button on the intercom; she was answered immediately by the doorman downstairs.
"Yes Ma'am?"
"Have my car readied immediately," Cyrene said and closed the intercom after receiving the acknowledgment. She grabbed her purse and after checking her appearance one final time in a hallway mirror; she left her apartment. She had an appointment and she wanted to get it out of the way as soon as possible. The man she was meeting was not going to be happy with her visit, but that did not concern her. She was here on instructions from the Master, and even he would not get in the way of her duties, no matter how much he might feel threatened by her presence here in 'his' town.
(OOC: Part two tomorrow.  )

Already got the Martial Arts covered and addressed in her history as well.
Ok, so it sounds like you are ok with the character then. I will post it up along with my history additions. As for the combat moves, we can add that in as we go I image. I don't see her getting into it with Alex anytime real soon. At least he better hope not.

Good, that is what I kind of thought but it is good to know.
Hmm. 4 books eh? I think I'll just ask for clarification when needed.
So Eol, do you see anything there on the sheet Nimu posted that needs adjusting? I like it! It seems to have all the things I imagine in my character. So if you are good with it. I am too. I can post it to the character page to update her and I am expanding some of my history a bit as well.
Oh, what about the section on Combat Moves? What can go there? Is this something from the books?

Subject: OK
Looking good. I can understand most of it but have some questions:
1) Can you break down this stuff?
Skills: Level (Cost/XPs)
Acrobatics: 2 (4/0)
I understand the skill by the name, the number after the name, is that the level? Then the stuff in brackets (Cost/XPs); what does that mean exact? Something I need to be aware of during the game?
2) What are the Metaphysics? Is that like spells? I assume I can find those in the book that Eol sent me?
Thanks Nimu, and Eol for helping with the character. I will fine tune her description and a few other things. But she is coming together nicely.
