Last Hope, Virginia

About
Last Hope is a post-fall settlement of survivors, where the first cast came together. Gwendolyn Giles' house isn't far from the settlement either. The party was contacted by Bill McCain to help figure out why there seemed to be coordinated Turned attacks on specific members of the town.

Through research, they discovered that controlling monsters vary; powerful or human adjacent monsters are nearly impossible to control. However, animalistic monsters are easier to control through physical dominance, persuasion, or mind control.

The discovered that to control Turned, someone has to be incredibly supernaturally gifted, or be minor supernaturally gifted and infected.

Notable NPCs
Bill McCain

Mayor Redmond - Didn't want hunters investigating the town, but didn't try and stop the hunters once they showed up. It turns out that the mayor was Turned, or at least in the process of Turning. Somehow, he had access to a kind of suppressant that worked short term in hiding the effects of Turning.

Alistar

Dr. Marsh - True to his title, the doctor ended up having a Turned in his basement. They were a consensual patient who requested not to be fed as he Turned. After several months, they were practically living dead. It was listless and didn't react to touch. It was observed clawing at the south east corner of the ceiling at night, when it still had the energy to.
