I have Superiors 1 and the Liber Reliquarium on order! Should get her by the middle of the week. *does the new books dance!*
Anyway, this is a little something I was contemplating. It's probably best suited for brighter campaigns, and group using it should have at least one Destiny servitor. Also, I'm a little unclear on Reliever details, so I may have gotten some of them wrong. Mea Culpa.
Sammi is a Reliever of War. Sammi has /been/ a Reliever of War for a very long time. It's stayed comfortably at eight forces for at least the last millenium, and appears to be willing to wait for another thousand years before getting that last one. Normally, this would be unusual, but nothing to worry about. Except...
Sammi has a Destiny. A Destiny that pings as Ineffable but Very, Very Bright to all but the highest level of Destiny's people. And presumably Yves, but he just smiles and says that all Angels have great potential. This, remarkably enough, is frustrating to all the lower tiers of Destiny's organization. Especially those high enough to see what Sammi's potential really is. They want it as an Angel, ASAP.
Which is where the problem comes in. When the first Destiny Servitor (a young, overly enthusiastic Seraph named Mitriel) pinged Sammi a thousand and so years ago, he immediately babbled happily to the little Reliever about the great Destiny that he had. But, well, he couldn't tell Sammi what that was, so the two of them went up the organizational ladder until they found someone who could see past the ineffable fog.
The Kyriotate Master turned some truly remarkable shades, and then refused to say anything more about it. Sammi, after all of this, decided that Destiny Servitors were every bit as annoying and uselessly mysterious as Michael said they were, and refused to fledge until someone told it what the Heaven was going on.
And there's that thing with Warriors and surrender...
Once they realized what had happened, a delegation was sent to Michael, to ask for his support. But no one would tell /him/ what the Destiny was, either. So Michael smiled sweetly and said that he would not pressure or order Sammi to fledge until the Reliever wanted it. It wasn't quite a 'Kiss my scaly buttocks', but it left Destiny in a bit of a quandry.
Which is where the PCs come in. Destiny's ready to take another shot at convincing Sammi to fledge. /Without/ compromising his ability to achieve his Destiny, and without alienating it any more than has already been done. And after a thousand years of fielding eager-beaver Destiny Angels, Sammi has developed quite the variety of harmless-but-undignified pranks to play on those that get on its nerves...
This adventure can be played in Heaven or on Earth (if Michael has given the Reliever a Vessel and an Earth assignment), and is probably best played for laughs. Sammi is not a mean-spirited Celestial, and by this time, it /wants/ to become a full-fledged Angel, but it's decided that this is the perfect opportunity to try and get through to Destiny just how annoying all that mysteriousness can be. And its very playful.
The simplest solution, of course, is simply to tell Sammi what its Destiny is (Be a Seraph instrumental in the Redemption of *BIG SUPERIOR FUZZ*). Unfortunately, only Destiny Servitors with the Master Distinction (and presumably Yves) can see it, and they're all worried that sharing that information will cause Sammi to get itself messily killed before it meets the /right/ *FUZZ*. So unless the PCs can field a very compelling argument, or find out some other way, they'll have to try the hard way.
Which is convincing Sammi that it doesn't really need to know before it fledges. Which means putting up with a variety of pranks before it'll even listen to them if they go the straightforward route, or being sneaky and subtle, and trying to arrange events so that Sammi comes to the conclusion all on its own that it needs to fledge. Have fun with it; Sammi's had a lot of experience with this sort of thing, and he fights dirty.

...well, unless you're going the Dominic/Asmodeus porn angle. ;p
*beams* Thankee! I thought it'd just be a little bit of fun...and the mental image of a bunch of beleagured Angels of Destiny chasing a laughing Reliever through the Grove just won't go away...
