Harlequin
Runners: The Colonel,
Thin White Duke, Mercury , Tara, Stormcrow, The Old
Father,
The runners are hired by a mysterious elf, with a face
painted like a harlequin to aid him in a set of strange and unusual quests,
 First the runners must obtain the left ear-tips of
six leaders of the Association Para-Nobilis and leave behind an envelope
(containing the title page of a manuscript written by Erhan the Sage).
Next the Harlequin had the runners travel to
Bavaria to acquire a rare medieval treatise on magic. In its place they leave
behind a refrigerated case (containing the ear-tips). The Thin White Duke
seemed perversely impressed by the Association Para-Nobilis and for a while
took to wearing fake elven ears !!!
For their third run, the runners are tasked with
acquiring some back-door codes that
Young Elven Techncologist deckers have installed in some of Seattle’s biggest corps Mercury took the
party into the the Matrix via hitcher jacks and with their “help” managed to
locate the codes.. During the raid they leave behind a sealed envelope
(containing the frontispiece of the tome stolen in Bavaria)
Next the entire party were captured and held
hostage briefly by agents of Erhan. They manage to escape, however Stormcrow
died in a hail of bullets (what else?).
Harlequin next sent the hapless runners off to Amazonia
there they steal a rare flower from a small plantation and leave behind an
optical chip copy of a fragment of the back-door programme used by the YET.
The next stop was Columbus Missouri, where they
grab Frosty, unknown to them (and her) the daughter of Erhan, in her place
they leave the flower.
Harlequin, using Frosty invokes a final ritual sending against Ehran, and
all hell breaks loose as something goes wrong with the Ritual, fearing that
Ehran has been harmed in which case he loses, Harlequin sends the runners to
Erhan’s house investigate.
Once
there they found Erhan apparently dead, some time later Harlequin arrives, to
discover it is a simulacrum of Erhan. Erhan himself then appears and the two
recommence their ages old duel. The runners are asked to seal the complex and
then leave. Later they receive a gift of a priceless Salamanca longsword from
Harlequin as a reward.
