[UA] scenario idea: color schemes

[Sonja Pieper]

I just had this idea this morning on my way to work. Of course this is 
not done but maybe someone will like it, have more ideas how to make it 
work or tell me it was already done a dozen times.

In a part of the city which I drive through each morning some houses are
painted in pastel colors. So what if there was a color scheme? Where 
does the scheme come from? One local cabal of let's say TNI guys finds 
out about three houses in the city which are all painted alike and 
somehow these houses seem to be of some mystic significance. They report 
it and are told to move in and occupy those houses. Group 2 might be 
some other cabal maybe an adept or two and their 'friends'. They 
discover the TNI groups aim and then they find out the TNI guys got it 
all wrong. They occpupied the wrong houses all along. Since it seems 
important enough to get attention from TNI the adepts occupy the three 
houses they think are important. In the meantime the TNI guys have 
acquired some documents about the history of the houses and find out 
about some [rituals|murders|your choice] committed in each house by 
always the same person .... Now group three maybe some duke using 
mundanes or Mak Attax or whoever and at the same time your players 
discover some ancient document or legend about the three houses. They 
are looking for the houses and discover that TNI has moved in the city 
and they have taken up residence in three houses that might have been 
the three, of course the players and group three quickly discover that 
TNI is off by a long way. Group three finds the first house which is 
surely not any of the houses discovered by group two which is up to now 
unknown to any of the other groups. .....

So there are three times three houses and once they are all occupied 
something nasty or good might happen. Since these are houses maybe it 
has to do with the HoR. Maybe originally someone tried to use the houses 
to ascend or gain other power. The ascension might have worked (or not) 
and left behind 'mystic' residue which is now being used by the 
three+players groups to enact a huge ritual they do not even know about. 
One of the most interesting points could be when the players have 
discovered what they have gotten into.

The complete ritual might for example create a huge 'entrance' to the 
house of renunciation or .... It might also call demons/ghosts or 
avatars of the type in question .... and for some extra taste have the 
players powerbase be located (just accidentally) in one of the houses 
they might discover only what is going on when someone else is trying to 
take over their house. Of course the person who started it all might 
still be alive or a ghost that can be called or ....

Well so that's it, gotta work some :-)

Ciao
