Recent events
2011
Floods have a way of covering up things, but they can also uncover things better left hidden. In the wake of the 2011 floods, Strider received reports through his network of some strange happenings in western Brisbane, possible related to an ancient aboriginal site that had been revealed by the floods.
Strider passed the information on to Watchlight, as he has done many times in the past, who was then able to arrange an investigation, discover the history of the site, and find a spirit that had been released and taken over a local gang leader and preparing to sacrifice some hostages on the site. After Strider did a bit more investigation to find the gang's current whereabouts, Watchlight and some other mages were able to confront and defeat them, rescue the hostages, and then heal the possessed person, driving the spirit from them.
2012
Strider learnt through his contacts about a number of disappearances and assaults around the Jupiters Casino precinct on the gold coast, culminating in a death which the police were trying to keep quiet due to some occult aspects. Not being able to find much more out through scrying, but confirming with his contacts that it was a "monster", Strider contacted [Sean’s character] and filled him in on the situation, knowing he worked with a few other mages who might be able to look into the situation.
It can be difficult for Strider to work out what [Sean’s character] might go for, and sometimes the answer comes back as “not interested” (which tends to frustrate Strider), however in this case [Sean’s character] said he wouldn’t mind a holiday down the Coast.
[Sean’s character] led a group of other mages down to spend their days on the beach and their nights staking out the area. It wasn't long before they found a ghouled high roller who was taking some recent losses rather personally. Even with their magic and enhanced guns, it took quite a bit to take the big guy down.
