The Archangel of Children doesn't only concentrate on human children, you know. Relievers, if you stretch the point a bit, are pretty similar (compared to fully-fledged angels), and why bother being an Archangel if you can't stretch the occasional point?

Over the last few centuries, Christopher has found himself getting more and more involved in formally educating relievers for Earth duty. Even though it's less complicated to just implant the information in someone's head, Superiors are busy entities. Teaching languages, Earth customs, basic knowledge, and so forth takes more time, but it's a job that any well-trained angel or blessed soul can do.

Christopher, with the help of Blandine, has created a unique dreamscape in the Vale, simply called the School. There, relievers (and the occasional child-soul) attend classes, interact, and generally get a feel for life on Earth. There are many, many different areas to the school, each based on a current human culture or area: the relievers thus soak up relevant social customs and attitudes in much the same way human children do. Needless to say, it's defended to a fare-thee-well.

Or so they think.

A Servitor of Children had the misfortune to Fall awhile back. Before he was routinely eviscerated (Christopher has the lowest percentage of successful Fallen of any Archangel, mostly because he doesn't ever, ever stop coming after you if you betray him), the new demon managed to reveal the general location of the school to agents of Nightmares. Heaven doesn't suspect that Hell knows. A nice little raid should decimate the Host's ability to blend in with humanity for years to come.

Unless you're part of a game that doesn't blanch at the mass elimination of cute, innocent little tykes, you may want to play the angels on this one. The party could either get wind of this before it happens (and burn feathers trying to get the word to the Host before the hammer goes down), or just be in the area when the first probing attack comes. Either way, successfully protecting the relievers will make Christopher very, very happy (he'll show up in person right after hearing of this. Quite quickly, and very infuriated, might I add).

For an odd twist, you could play some of the relievers themselves (6 to 8 Forces, with some Songs). Everyone remember the movie Toy Soldiers? Just like that (not too unlikely, actually: the dreamscape's a powerful weapon, if used right). Just try not to be Wil Wheaton's character.
