Default New Hero

Right, the heroes have now reached the church with the refugees and picked up another one, a badly wounded woman who, along with a male companion*, were attacked by the horses drawing their carriage after they had been infused with demonic energies and grown to massive size and girth, sprouted teeth and a massive tail, as well as grotesquely small wings.

The woman was crushed by the onrushing monstrous beasts and her back was broken, as well as several bones broken internally around her pelvis. She appeared to be dying, but Father MacManus asked God to save her and discovered the power Lay on Hands, with Costs Character Points. He spent one, and all his FP, to cure her broken back. She is now sleeping inside the St. Botolph Aldgate church, after having received First Aid and Succor as well.

The monstrous creatures were destroyed by the intrepid heroes, as well as a new player in the drama, the well-respected local hard man, George 'Teapot' Frankton, the arch rogue and captain of a powerful gang near the Mitre. When things started to unravel, Mr. Frankton declared that while he might be a right hard bloke, he'd be damned if he'd see demons overrun our local church! So festooned with knives, cudgels, belts and buckles, his sixteen hardest fighters took up position around St. Botolph Aldgate and allowed any passerby to seek shelter there.

Mr. Frankton likes to dress like a swell, but is unfortunate in appearance, being an albino with total alopecia. He's respected among his peers, for toughness and fairness, and feared by all with any sense.

*Who didn't survive.
