Minor disaster. My littl'un is not well so we're unable to go to our concert this evening. Upside is I'll be at club tonight. I can bring something to run as a one shot incase Mel has no suitable game to bring.

Talisman of the Black Stag: Said to offer protection against unnatural forces.
Scrolls & Relics: Containing the knowledge of the Order.

Background & Personality
Known as the "Black Stag," mac Bryde is a warrior-scholar of African and Scottish descent, born into the mystical Òrdugh Naomh Omega. His ancestors traveled from distant lands, bringing sacred knowledge that the Order now safeguards. Raised among warriors and mystics, he has honed his mind and body to fight both mortal and cosmic horrors.

mac Bryde is hard, intelligent, and relentless. He leads his clan with discipline, knowing that dark forces lurk beyond mortal comprehension. His insight into people and the unseen world makes him wary but effective. Whether standing against rival clans, Viking raiders, or eldritch abominations, Magnus fights with purpose and fury.

Nice one Hugh.

I think if you like you can put them down on a character sheet. It would be nice to keep some continuity when this eventually gets run proper.

I can bring some empty character sheets also.
