Hi,
this is a question I already postet in the Halloween run thread, but some more popped up in my head and I don't want to hijack the thread too much.

1) I am planning on running an extraction of a mafia child that has joined a witch cult. This cult is performing a ritual on halloween to summon a nasty spirit. I want this ritual to take place in a location that has traditional ties to witchcraft IRL. The runners are based in Seattle, so it should not be too far away from the sprawl.

2) The shaman leading the cult is an elven moon shaman from the ADL. What would typical spells for this kind of NPC be? I already have some ideas but am looking for more.

3) I am having some trouble making the connection to the witch cult which is supposed to be a bit more complex than "mafia guy says his kid is in this cult, so get it back and nuke the cult". My first ideas involve the Halloweeners, but I am a bit stuck there. Any ideas?

4) Any more ideas for interesting bits to spice up the run? The plot is supposed to slowly unfold from "typical extraction of a rich kid" to "weird cult summons free spirit and hell breaks loose".
