"She falls, The Hatters' forces grow and Lord Jameson reinforces the guild presence in the city." Pandora mused.
"What if he was to hunt her a day earlier, without a bodyguard but before he can raise his minions?" Lilith spat in the cauldron and the trio focused on its swirling foam.
It was a late evening in May and Inge Jameson wandered the park alone, fuming quietly to herself. He father had filled the house with all manner of dignitaries and the cigar smoke and having to act as a distraction had grated on her nerves so she had snuck out to spend the day in Hide Park.
But now the sun was setting and the Guild Guard were patrolling the area, each carrying their lanterns and giving her polite nods as they passed.

Seamus crept along the building. His thirst for The Dark Arts had become too much to contain; he had spotted this beautiful young plaything and she would be his!
The thrice cursed Guard were patrolling heavily, obviously at ease in the pleasant greenery.
He spotted a neat little guard in front of his and aimed his massive shiny fifty calibre pistol, acquired that afternoon.
It's kickback was too much for Seamus and the round shot past the guard, echoing through the park.
Guard Pessimal turned in shock and fired his crossbow at Seamus, grazing him alongside a leg

Guardsmen Vimes, drawn by Seamus' cursing also took aim and put another crossbow bolt straight through the stalker!
http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery/malifaux/batrep06/02.jpg
however, all this was lost on Guard Haddock and Tirel, checking door locks on the other side of the park , while Jameson sat idly on a bench
http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery/malifaux/batrep06/03.jpg
Seamus, focusing himself, drew the life force from Pessimal, his wounds knitting together
http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery/malifaux/batrep06/04.jpg
before he took a deep breath and shot the guardsman dead!
http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery/malifaux/batrep06/05.jpg
feeling the scent of death in the air, Seamus drew Pessimal's tidy spirit into himself and in a burst of dark power raised a corpse that had laid dormant underneath the grass.. Stella lived again!
http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery/malifaux/batrep06/06.jpg
Guard Haddock, drawn by the exchanges, rushed toward the shambling figure, but was gashed by the flailing parasol, infection from the grime and rust setting in fast
http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery/malifaux/batrep06/07.jpg
cursing in pain, he drew his sword and hacked at the gore-encrusted Belle
http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery/malifaux/batrep06/08.jpg
Meanwhile, guard Vimes rushed as Seamus, hoping to subdue the necromancer
http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery/malifaux/batrep06/09.jpg
Seamus turned toward the lunging figure "sorry laddie, Oi dinnae swing that way!" and arcing his sack of sharp tools around smashed the guard to the floor
http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery/malifaux/batrep06/10.jpg
Stella, having finished off Haddock, leapt for the fleeing Jameson, causing her a nasty gash across her face
http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery/malifaux/batrep06/11.jpg
Screaming, Jameson ducked under the zombie's arms and ran through the gate, her speed throwing off Seamus' pistol fire...
http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/gallery/malifaux/batrep06/12.jpg
"time for us tae make our escape, yes?"
as Seamus hissed at Stella the scene blurred and faded...
"So, she survives if he does not have time to gather his strength?" Lilith asked.
"This would mean that Lord Jameson would not reinforce the Guild Ranks here." Pandora answered. ~"this is the path we must take?"
Zoraida nodded. "Perhaps Lord Jameson should host a soiree on the morrow." her voice creaked followed by a cackle.
The three witches began laughing, filling the swamp with a sound to bring shivers to the most hardened soul...
BREAKDOWN
Here's Whispers' scenario to represent Seamus at the start of his career.
