The attack on the house of Spirals

Karlos Basoalto: ((*taps foot*))

Patches Malloy: [Mmmm, hot wings]

Warren Cole: they are all in gnyc room

Joshua Coil: ((Chocolate covered oreos!))

Laidan: ((I was in the wront room))

Alexis Donovan: ((that's better!*gigglefit8))

Laidan: ((And I can't spell))

Patches Malloy: [It's all Josh-p's fault. She's easily confused and leads others astray]

Karlos Basoalto: En route to the house, in the back of Lex's truck, once they're out in the arse end of nowhere he hides himself under a tarp for a couple of minutes.

Discard: (( Ok. ))

Joshua Coil: ((Mwoo hoo hahahahaha! *twiddles thumbs*))

Laidan: She's already in lupus, curled up and waiting near Discard

Jeremy Thomas: ((So THIS is "Greater NYC Dynamic." Gotcha.))

Shadowfae: Bad Fang. Bad. 8P Okay, so, they're driving to where? The neighborhood? The driveway? Taco Bell?

Alexis Donovan: Lex pulls up near the house, her lights off and cuts the engine.

Discard: (( omg taco bell! Gotta have fuel! ))

Joshua Coil: *And he seeks shelter as well, at least to shift to Hispo.*

Laidan: ((*points to Lex's post*))

Joshua Coil: ((I'm FULLLLL!))

Shadowfae: (Sorry. I'm braindead.)

Patches Malloy: *Not in Lupus, but probably crammed in the back, too. She doesn't take up much room and is colappsable for easy storage!*

Alexis Donovan: ((Parking a couple houses down I'd think?))

Jeremy Thomas: He's in the cab with Lex, if there's room. Silently prepping himself.

Discard: (( Presumably we'll have a fair bit of distance... o.o ))

Karlos Basoalto: He emerges with stark blue woad smeared across his face in simple, curling patterns. It also streaks his hair, slicking it back from his face. Hanging from his belt is a Tai Chi sword, the red tassel on the pommel swaying as he moves.

Laidan: ((Join the club Fox.)) As the car stills, she very quietly rises to gently nuzzle and nose all those in the back. Very wolfish, and very ready to go into the Umbra once she's given word she can/

Discard: Discard has been pretty quiet, just hanging tight with Laidan.

Joshua Coil: *A big, big big wolf. Hey, if a painted man makes sense, so would a big black dire wolf. He leaves the knife in the car. This will be more fun.*

Warren Cole: steps onto the street behind the vehicle, reaching into his pack for his flask then tossing his pack back into the truck,

Alexis Donovan: Lex slides from the cab, her strong, blunt fingered hands empty. A brow arches at Karlos and she smirks, just slightly cause even with woad he's pretty.

Patches Malloy: *Reams a finger in her ear right when they stop, looking at Karlos* Ninja celt?

Karlos Basoalto: He smiles faintly, but says nothing.

Warren Cole: and Warren strips off to his jeans and a basketball vest, tossing the rest back into the truck, and stretching a little, silent,

Shadowfae: They all park to the other side of the house, where there's a small park. Separating the house from the park is a thin strip of trees. There are easily enough shadows to hide in, even thicker than seem quite right.

Patches Malloy: *She nimbly hops out of the bed, landing with a scuff of rubber on asphalt*

Karlos Basoalto: He stands, hands loosely at his side, waiting for orders from Warren.

Alexis Donovan: She frowns, eyeing the trees with their odd, thick shadows.

Discard: Discard places a hand on Laidan's shoulder and waits for the signal to go.

Jeremy Thomas: He gets out of the cab on the passenger side, pulling his jacket off and pulling the knife from the sheath behind his back.

Warren Cole: and Warren looks at there target eyes glazed,

Laidan: She lifts her nose, sniffing softly. Looking for taint.

Laidan: 2,3,9,4,

Patches Malloy: *Quietly* 'Waitin' orders, cap'n crunch...

Warren Cole: 7,2,2,5,

Joshua Coil: ~ws~ Could attack from any angle. Careful. *His growls, the flick of his tail, speaking volumes.*

Karlos Basoalto: He holds a hand up to Patches, silently requesting patience. He recognises Warren's look.

Patches Malloy: *She slips a slender object from her pockat, flicking the straight razor open with a sniff... Not that useful, she knows... but still*

Jeremy Thomas: He considers, then resheathes the knife, loosening his belt so it can give some. He waits.

Laidan: She quietly jumps down from the back of the truck.

Alexis Donovan: Her eyes flick to Laidan and drink her in.

Karlos Basoalto: ((PM me if you, at any point, look into the Umbra with Karlos nearby))

Warren Cole: He unfocuses and turns back to the group, "the building is swarmin wit' banes,"

Joshua Coil: ~ws~ Then kill quick?

Alexis Donovan: "We knew it might be. Fausto said that Siren was going to distract them and the totem for us..."

Discard: Discard steps down from the truck. "Swarming?" she says cautiously. That might be a bit much for her, even.

Laidan: ~ws~ "Siren isn't dependable. We'll have to go in hard and fast..." Meaning her and Discard.

Laidan: ~ws~ "A LOT of taint too."

Warren Cole: "no point in waitin' for tem to notice us.." he nods and smiles for a second, "I tink eet is time to go? are we all ready?"

Jeremy Thomas: He frowns. "Should we put one more in the Umbra? Or do we trust Siren?" He directs the question to Warren.

Alexis Donovan: She nods and forces her eyes away from Laidan. "Lets do this."

Warren Cole: "Izzy I want you in teh umbra too" he nods,

Patches Malloy: What'cha want me to do? *Points the blunt edge of the razer at Laiden* Go wit dem... *Then to Warren* Or with'chall?

Discard: Discard nods. Ah well. If she doesn't survive, at least it was her and not somebody else. "I'm ready," she says.

Karlos Basoalto: "Go into battle with love in your hearts," he says softly.

Patches Malloy: Riot. *She nods, looking ot Laidan and Discard* Might take me a minnit er two to get through, so I'mma go ahead, kay?

Joshua Coil: *He points his nose from Lex to Discard.* ~ws~ Pack. Speak. Same time. Bite. Kill. Attack.

Warren Cole: "Umbra" to Izzy, he turn to lex and smiles, "do you and josh want to go in first?"

Jeremy Thomas: He nods to Karlos, smiling a little.

Warren Cole: He smiles to karlos, "we is all going to do great things tis year ai"

Alexis Donovan: She grins. "Of course I do," she says to Warren. Then, "Discard, Lai, take care of each other. I expect to see you both after this!"

Patches Malloy: *She flicks the razor just right to catch the scant light, focusing on hte reflection to ease her transition...*

Patches Malloy: 10,4,

Discard: Discard smiles. "Of course. Let's go."

Laidan: ~ws~ "Of course!" She's ready.

Discard: 3,1,5,

Laidan: She starts to slip sideways

Laidan: 8,7,9,6,8,

Discard: Discard realizes something is wrong as she begins to slip sideways...

Karlos Basoalto: He gazes at Warren. "I have slain many a Spiral in battle," he murmurs. "Be careful. They are a powerful foe, even for you."

Discard: "Fuck... fuck AHK--"

Joshua Coil: *He looks up to Karlos, and steps forward. A growl in his voice.*

Alexis Donovan: "Discard?"

Alexis Donovan: "Discard?"

Warren Cole: "I have lost 6 brothers to the Wyrm howlers sir, I know what we are doing.. " he nods to Karlos

Karlos Basoalto: He offers Warren his hand.

Patches Malloy: *Yep, going to take her a bit. Slowly, slowly, slowly starts slipping away*

Joshua Coil: *He looks over to Discard.* ~ws~ Stay here. I go.

Warren Cole: and Warren doesnt take it looking to Discard first.

Karlos Basoalto: He drops his hand. Seems he's also seen plently of people cack up Stepping Sideways, too.

Discard: Discard's teeth are clenched, her eyes wide but set. Transparent. Only partly there, and not fading or materializing.

Shadowfae: [Okay. Lai makes it through, about five minutes later Izzy follows. Discard vanishes into the Umbra, though she does not come across with Laidan and Izzy.]

Karlos Basoalto: He looks down to Josh. "We need you here," he says softly.

Laidan: When Discarddoesn't come, she looks to Izzy. ~ws~ "Where is she?"

Warren Cole: Warren turns back to Karlos and offers his hand, thinking that Discard got through.

Discard: Ok. No discard whatsoever.

Joshua Coil: ~ws~ Missing. Need backup. Where? *He whines slightly, and sniffs around the area where discard vanished. A look back up to Karlos. Paw paw. Chuff.*

Jeremy Thomas: He stands there quietly, watching Warren. Waiting for his signal.

Alexis Donovan: "Josh, if you go umbral I'll be the only Ahroun."

Alexis Donovan: "Josh, if you go umbral I'll be the only Ahroun."

Laidan: ((Did we loose Rusty?))

Patches Malloy: I dunno, she was comin' through... *Frowms* Fuck, prolly got stuck

Joshua Coil: *He shakes his head, and looks back up to Lex. Over to Warren.* ~ws~ Go now?

Patches Malloy: [Sorry, being harrassed by a particularly persistant partisan stooge on ICQ.]

Laidan: She growls. ~ws~ "Can you stay here and see if you can help her? I need to go back, to find her."

Patches Malloy: What... the... fuck? *Looking at the umbral... guy*

Warren Cole: He looks around them smiles to them then nod "lets go" starting at a walk to the building,

Alexis Donovan: Lex follows.

Laidan: She stills ~ws~ "Umbral guy?"

Joshua Coil: *He follows calmly, sniffing the ground.*

Laidan: ((dlp))

Karlos Basoalto: He brings up the rear, walking quietly.

Patches Malloy: I guess... I dunno what to do... Ain't no theurge... *A frown*

Laidan: ~ws~ "What?" She asks Izzy. "I need to find her, can you stay?"

Laidan: ~ws~ "Then stay. I'll try to get back soon, be ready for anything."

Jeremy Thomas: He starts moving with the group, expression even. maybe even a little grim.

Laidan: And she steps sideways agin, trying to find Discard, looking for her scent.

Laidan: 2,5,5,2,7,

Shadowfae: The house is two stories, with what looks like a loft/attic above the second floor. There is a faint light coming through the drawn curtains. Nothing is moving, no shadows, no curtains, the house is still.

Patches Malloy: Yeah. *She nods, her form shifting up to Crinos. And "patches" is indeed aptly named, having a motley coat of no one color*

Warren Cole: And Warren becomes stockier, and taller still, as he moves to Glabro slowing and moving closer quietly,

Shadowfae: [And hold a moment Laidan, while I catch the real world up to you. 8)]

Laidan: ((Will do))

Alexis Donovan: Growling softly lex slips up towards Glabro herself, thankful of the baggy pants and very stretchy shirt.

Shadowfae: [And, marching order and init rolls for my people storming the house.]

Jeremy Thomas: He follows suit, growing bigger and tougher. He readjusts his belt and grabs the knife.

Warren Cole: Warrens more feral now, dreads reaching right down his back, ((hes alongside lex and josh as far as I know))

Joshua Coil: ((Right after Warren in Hispo.))

Patches Malloy: ~Umbra~*She looks up with a soft grol and scoots down a bit, calling on her Gifts to help her stay a little unnoticed* (Blur of the Milky Eye)

Warren Cole: 1,

Jeremy Thomas: ((Between Karlos and the bad-ass trio. Rolling now.))

Jeremy Thomas: 4,

Patches Malloy: 7,5,7,9,3,5,

Joshua Coil: 6,

Shadowfae: [And I will sometimes be slow, for which I apologise but I am still sick, and prone to coughing fits now and again. Just so you why I suddenly go nonresponsive now and again.]

Warren Cole: ((warrens at init 7))

Jeremy Thomas: ((Init 9))

Joshua Coil: ((Init 16))

Alexis Donovan: 10,

Alexis Donovan: ((Init 16))

Alexis Donovan: ((Init 16))

Karlos Basoalto: 5,

Karlos Basoalto: ((Init currently 10))

Shadowfae: As they approach the house, one of the second story windows opens. A woman's figure is silouhetted there, hands making smooth gestures in the air.

adowfae: 8,

Shadowfae: [To speed this up, we're going to run through actions from the top, because I don't think we have time to do it the long way around. Unless I hear serios objections?]

Karlos Basoalto: ((Fine by me, but I would say that, since I got a cruddy init *lol*))

Alexis Donovan: ((Works for me, hon.))

Jeremy Thomas: ((Not a problem here.))

Warren Cole: ((fine *G*))

Shadowfae: [Okay then. Lex and Josh, what you doing?]

Joshua Coil: ((Watching, as right now, there is no enemy. Held action to attack whatever comes out. A bite when it does.))

Alexis Donovan: (Moving towards the house...action held same as Josh, punch when it does))

Patches Malloy: [Just gonna wait for Discard to get pushed through, I guess. *G*

Shadowfae: 3,8,4,6,3,7,

Shadowfae: Green flames form in the woman's hands and go streaking toward Alexis, who throws herself sideways almost quickly enough to avoid it, but the green flames still catch her and wrap around her before draining into the ground.

Shadowfae: [And Karlos.]

Alexis Donovan: Lex clambers to her feet with a snarl, spitting repeatedly.

Karlos Basoalto: His gaze flits to the nice balefire-wielding lady. Temporary Amnesia is best for her, he believes. The less we have of bright green fireballs, the better. He slips into her mind and starts erasing willy nilly.

Karlos Basoalto: 9,9,5,2,2,6,4,

Karlos Basoalto: ((Go Karlos, it's your birthday, Go Karlos, it's your birthday!))

Jeremy Thomas: ((W00t!))

Jeremy Thomas: His eyes widen in surprise and his lips curls as the lady throws balefire-like lightning.

Jeremy Thomas: ((Lip, rather. Just the one.))

Alexis Donovan: "They try and get in your mouth!"

Karlos Basoalto: He freezes, twitching slightly, spitting.

Shadowfae: [And now Dream.]

Karlos Basoalto: He draws in a breath, as if to scream, then exhales warily, blinking, shaking his head a little.

Joshua Coil: *He goes over to the door, and opens it, leaping back defensively. Growl.*

Jeremy Thomas: ((Get to the door, making sure to help the momentarily distracted Karlos along so he's not caught out by himself))

Discard: 5,10,8,8,7,

Shadowfae: [Warren, your move.]

Warren Cole: ((Heads towards the building wall, below the window, trying to shift to crinos))

Warren Cole: 3,7,9,9,9,1,

Karlos Basoalto: ((You r0xx0rz!))

Shadowfae: Okay. This round ends with Josh at the opened front door, with Dream and Karlos not far behind. Warren is headed for the building wall beneath (I assume) the window the woman is standing in. Lex is out on the lawn, near the front porch. [And, Lex and Josh, new actions.]

Lex Donovan: (Lex rushes forward to catch up with Josh and get inside.)

Laidan: ((Lai is still searching for Discard))

Karlos Basoalto: "The men are Kin," he breathes softly, hand moving to his sword. "Concentrate on the women. I'll handle the Kin."

Joshua Coil: ((Inside, trying to find a stairwell to get upstairs.))

Jeremy Thomas: He nods to Karlos. "Got it."

Lex Donovan: "Keep an eye out for kids too," she growls.

Lex Donovan: "Keep an eye out for kids too," she growls.

Shadowfae: Josh is in luck, the stairs are right in the foyer. Lex makes it in with him. The woman vanishes back into the house. [Karlos' action?]

Karlos Basoalto: He follows the Garou. It would be unwise to split the group. Drawing his sword, he remains alert for any activity.

Shadowfae: [Dream?]

Jeremy Thomas: He moves up the stairs after everyone, not wanting to split up, but hoping they're not going to get pinched between two groups.

Lex Donovan: "We're packed too tight. Gonna bottleneck!"

Lex Donovan: "We're packed too tight. Gonna bottleneck!"

Shadowfae: [And Warren?]

Karlos Basoalto: ((I'm not standing on anyone's heels. Just following at a sword-swingin' distance *G*))

Joshua Coil: ((An' he went straight for the stairs, trying to block any attack from there.))

Patches Malloy: *She waits in the umbra for the other two to come back, her already smeared-looking fur being... blurred*

Warren Cole: ((k ill wait))Warren pauses below the window, looking around, watching for ambushes,

Warren Cole: ~WS~ "Incoming inside" Warren growls through the doorway.

Shadowfae: The front door swings closed with a crash, and bolts shut.

Lex Donovan: "Oh fuck me," she growls as the door slams shut.

Shadowfae: [And one round to react before I pronounce you caught up. Josh and Lex?]

Joshua Coil: *Not even noting the door, not looking back - it's a waste of time... he darts up the stairs, sniffing for her. No hesitation, no delays.*

Lex Donovan: She follows Josh up the stairs, burning Rage to slip to Crinos.

Karlos Basoalto: He backs calmly up the stairs. The Ahroun have his back. He and Dream have theirs.

Shadowfae: The stairs creak and moan under Lex's Crinos weight, the entire flight of them shaking with her footfalls.

Lex Donovan: Her tail droops, ears pressing flat to her skull. ~This was a dumb idea.~

Shadowfae: [Dream? Warren?]

Jeremy Thomas: He moves in sync with his fellow Body of Harmony member, up the stairs.

Shadowfae: 10,5,4,8,6,

Shadowfae: 8,7,5,7,5,7,

Warren Cole: And Warren attempts jump straight up and through the window, watching for threats if he makes it.

Warren Cole: 4,7,4,4,3,7,10,

Warren Cole: 1,4,8,9,6,

Shadowfae: 1,5,5,9,3,2,

Shadowfae: Okay, this round ends with Josh, Lex, Dream, and Karlos headed up the stairs. Warren is inside an upstairs room with a woman who just threw more of that lightening-looking fire at him, but sent it out the window instead, where it struck a tree, writhing down the truck leaving behind little licking flames in its wake. Laidan steps back into the physical world to try to track Discard, who comes leaping out of the air about three feet off the graound, practically the second Lai gets through. Izzy is still waiting in the umbra.

Shadowfae: Just as Josh hit the top of the stairs, there is the sound of a gunshot, but it just grazes fur. [Evil just isn't doing so well this round.]

Laidan: 8,4,5,2,8,10,7,

Laidan: She catches Discard's scent, quickly trotting to her and talking softly. ~ws~ "Discard! Are you alright? We need to get back soon."

Karlos Basoalto: ((At least Evil brought guns))

Discard: She turns, in hispo form. Her horns glint in the faint light. ~ws~ "No time," she expresses curtly. "We go now!"

Laidan: A growl and BACK to the Umbra.

Laidan: 5,8,4,2,9,

Joshua Coil: ((Hey! Good WOULD have brought guns, but good was dumb and forgot to get his holsters dedicated.))

Discard: (( *sigh* WP this time. ))

Discard: 9,3,2,

Karlos Basoalto: ((Good's gonna get fucking slaughtered))

Lex Donovan: ((Shhh...There are two little kin at the Concerto counting on Good to win damnit! Think positive!))

Jeremy Thomas: ((The other Good doesn't believe in guns, so... *Shrug*))

Shadowfae: Laidan and Discard both disappear into the umbra.

Patches Malloy: [What about the bad and the ugly? Are Josh and Izzy going to be the only survivors? Tune in next week...!]

Joshua Coil: ((They're REAL, I SWEAR. Demmit. But as soon as I get THIS guy's...))

Shadowfae: [Okay, people upstairs, or just coming upstars. Lex and Josh?]

Joshua Coil: ((Bite the hell out of whoever just shot at me.))

Lex Donovan: (Looking for bad guys. Will engage with claw swipe if any are seen)

Shadowfae: It's down the hall, but the hall is very dark. Still, Josh can smell the gun, about ten feet down the hall. [Roll to bite.]

Joshua Coil: 7,7,8,9,4,8,10,6,8,

Shadowfae: The hall splits in two directions, Lex can take the direction Josh took, or split to the other side so Dream and Karlos are less vulnerable to attack.

Warren Cole: ((JEEEEEEEZZZ))

Jeremy Thomas: (AND I SAY GOD DAMN, MUTHAF-A!!!!))

Joshua Coil: ((Apparently the Josh-puppy isn't happy.))

Karlos Basoalto: ((Go Joshie, it's Karlos' birthday! *G*))

Patches Malloy: [Shaft! He's a complicated man...]

Laidan: ((That beats Lai's roll from the warehouse fight))

Lex Donovan: ((Go Joshie! Daaaamn!))

Joshua Coil: 5,9,6,2,2,8,5,9,7,9,8,1,2,4,4,

Shadowfae: Josh goes flying down the hallway and attacks the darkness. Hi jaws clamp down on a man's throat, and he shakes, tearing out most of the flesh to the font of the spine, severing arteries to send blood slashing over his fur and the walls nearby. There's a clunk and then a thud, as first the gun, then the body fall to the floor.

Joshua Coil: *A snarl, a satisfied one, as he looks to the gun. One for the good guys. And they were worried that he didn't bring any...*

Lex Donovan: Lex perks, hearing the thud, her tail sweeping from side to side.

Shadowfae: And everyone, homid, human, or whatever brand of fuzzy, can smell the blood.

Lex Donovan: Lex splits off and heads towards the left, claws ready to tear into anything she comes across.

Shadowfae: [Karlos and Dream? Since you seem all in synch here....]

Karlos Basoalto: He continues backing slowly up the stairs, watching the stairs rather than the carnage at his back.

Jeremy Thomas: He hits the top, keeping an eye out down both hallways, to see who needs the most help, Joshua or Lex. Though the crunching sound and coppery smell must surely bother him, he doesn't let himself show it.

Shadowfae: A creature the size and shape of an elongated small dog, with dull silver scales with a faint green sheen to them clonks onto the stairs beside Karlos. The warped bones don't give a very good clue as to what it used to be before the Wrym twisted it. Feathers sprout from its slender, almost draconic head. It scrambles for balance, panting angrily. There's a jaged tear in its scales by one front shoulder, seeping blood.

Shadowfae: [And Warren - action?]

Karlos Basoalto: He grits his teeth, eyes flashing darkly at the state Magen is in. "Dream, go to the Umbra. They need help."

Shadowfae: [And, Umbra-side, regroup and roll init, you're all back together again, if you can spot Izzy.]

Jeremy Thomas: He nods to Karlos without hesitation. "On it."

Patches: [init 16] ~Ht~ 'Bout time! There's been green lightning and shit shooting out of there. *She hops to all fours, racing after laidan*

Discard: (( init ))

Discard: 4,

Discard: (( init 11 ))

Laidan: ~ws~ "Find the thread that leads to the bane!" Snarling and basically barreling towards the banes. Yay for crazy Fianna

Warren Cole: ((wp))

Warren Cole: 7,7,8,6,1,7,8,9,10,

Joshua Coil: ((Holy CRAP.))

Discard: Discard is off, running by Laidan's side.

Shadowfae: 8,3,8,6,4,9,9,

Karlos Basoalto: ((I love you, Warren...))

Lex Donovan: ((Yay for Theurgy goodness!)

Shadowfae: 8,7,9,4,2,

Warren Cole: 10,4,3,2,5,9,3,

Warren Cole: 4,

Shadowfae: The woman's skin oozes that crackling fire, right into Warren's mouth. Warren can taste blood and toxic sludge. [Mark one Agg dmg, and roll your second attack Warren.]

Warren Cole: ((wp))

Shadowfae: In the umbra banes swoop down. [You guys dodging or attacking?]

Warren Cole: 5,8,9,6,5,8,

Patches: *She does as instructed, clear brown eyes searching as they run for anything that could be a threadlike connector*

Discard: (( attacking. ))

Shadowfae: 9,2,6,

Shadowfae: 8,3,8,

Warren Cole: ((dmg))

Warren Cole: 3,6,10,10,4,2,4,4,6,3,8,5,

Patches: [Per + Alert, with WP]

Patches: 2,7,7,9,2,

Shadowfae: 6,3,7,8,7,

Patches: [and dodge split. *G*]

Laidan: 3,3,9,4,4,1,

Patches: 6,4,8,10,4,

Shadowfae: 10,10,8,

Shadowfae: 6,1,4,

Shadowfae: 3,3,2,8,

Laidan: 2,5,8,2,9,2,

Shadowfae: 7,4,3,4,

Discard: 1,6,9,4,7,3,3,

Discard: 3,8,10,3,3,5,9,

Karlos Basoalto: He guards the top of the stairs, gazing down them, trusting the Ahroun to clear out the top floor.

Shadowfae: And, from Lai and Discard, attacks, on the small banes swiping you.

Laidan: 6,7,8,10,1,4,6,

Laidan: ((dmg))

Laidan: 10,2,2,9,8,9,1,10,10,

Discard: 4,2,8,3,3,3,7,3,7,

Discard: 6,2,5,8,5,10,4,5,

Discard: ((that was dmg.))

Discard: 3,

Shadowfae: And, we have Karlos and Magen at the top of the stairs, Lex is down the hall to the left. Josh just practically decapitated someone with his teeth to the right. Warren is still locked in combat with that woman. Dream is prepared to head into the umbra. In the umbra, Izzy-the-ninja is charging for the largest bane thread with Laidan and Discard. The banes that swoop down slice talons into Discard and Laidan, but miss Izzy entirely. Discard and Laidan both snatch a bane out of their dives, with satisfying little crunches.

Shadowfae: [Everyone in the house roll me perception alertness, and then we'll start off a new round.]

Lex Donovan: 3,5,4,8,3,3,

Lex Donovan: 3,5,4,8,3,3,

Warren Cole: 7,2,9,2,4,

Patches: *Hits the dirt in a tumble roll to evade a swoop, barking out * ~Ht~ Here~ Thread, uh, thing!

Joshua Coil: 4,7,9,7,2,

Karlos Basoalto: 4,2,4,1,6,6,

Jeremy Thomas: 9,6,9,2,8,

Shadowfae: 2,3,2,5,6,

Laidan: She barks back to Izzy. ~ws~ "Good! Keep making noise, so I can follow!"

Patches: *And it turns out that a scrawny Gnawer crinos can crack out a sound surprisingly similar to bagpipes. Who knew?*

Discard: Discard snarls, wheeling to change her trajectory.

Shadowfae: Out the windows Warren, Dream, Karlos, and Josh note that the tree outside the house that was struck is engulfed in green flames.

Laidan: She charges after Izzy.

Shadowfae: [Okay, actions in the house. Josh and Lex, then Karlos and Dream.]

Karlos Basoalto: He frowns at the fire. Bugger. "I'm going to check the basement," he calls softly to the Ahroun, hurrying softly downstairs once more.

Lex Donovan: (She sweeps the left branch of the hallway-still waiting to attack anything she comes across)

Shadowfae: 6,3,6,4,5,9,7,2,4,

Shadowfae: 7,9,10,2,6,2,3,2,7,10,2,8,

Joshua Coil: ((Going across the hallway to investigate the source of the noises. Held attack.))

Lex Donovan: 8,9,2,5,3,4,

Lex Donovan: 8,9,2,5,3,4,

Jeremy Thomas: ((Going Umbral. Waiting to roll 'till the people ahead of me resolve their stuff.))

Lex Donovan: Lex snarls and stumbles as something hits her from behind, teeth sinking into the back of her neck.

Lex Donovan: Lex snarls and stumbles as something hits her from behind, teeth sinking into the back of her neck.

Shadowfae: Out of the shadows flies a dark brown-red crinos that jumps onto Lex, sinking her fangs deep into the back of Lex's neck. Not until she has her prey does she let loose the thunderous growl.

Karlos Basoalto: Alas he's-a-headin' down the stairs double-time.

Shadowfae: Across the hall Josh smells people, and sees one of them struggling to get loose from ropes that bind at the wrist and ankle. Just as he steps into the doorway though, he hears the fight down the hall.

Lex Donovan: Once her head clears enough that she can think she bellows for Josh, pushing the sound past the pained whimpers.

Lex Donovan: And then she attempts to smash the damned thing into the wall.

Lex Donovan: 1,4,3,4,8,9,

Lex Donovan: 1,4,3,4,8,9,

Lex Donovan: 9,9,8,3,4,1,2,

Shadowfae: 2,2,5,6,6,8,3,

Lex Donovan: 9,9,8,3,4,1,2,

Shadowfae: 2,2,5,6,6,8,3,

Shadowfae: [Dream?]

Jeremy Thomas: 3,9,3,4,2,

Shadowfae: [Drea will get across the Guantlet in a few moments. Warren?]

Warren Cole: ((spending a rage and biting the throat again twice, trying to take that head off.))

Shadowfae: [You're just copying Josh! 8) Roll it.]

Warren Cole: 9,5,1,7,10,9,

Warren Cole: 8,4,6,9,6,4,3,9,3,2,3,

Joshua Coil: ((Well, it was so damned sexy when I did it...))

Shadowfae: 8,8,9,8,

Patches: [that's cause you have baseball bat mojo]

Shadowfae: 9,3,7,

Shadowfae: 8,7,1,5,

Shadowfae: Warren bites into the woman's throat. She growls, and shifts to crinos, clawing him twice, but his second bite catches her by surprise, and tears through a lot more of her throat. Her body drops to the ground.

: (ninja! aaaand not so ninja! go side of righteous fury!!)

Shadowfae: [Umbra, dodge or attack?]

Patches: [She's gonna attack. C'mon lucky number 1!]

Discard: ( More attacking. )

Shadowfae: Okay, roll attacks and dmg.

Discard: 9,1,7,3,7,2,4,

Shadowfae: This time through the three in the Umbra each snatch one of the things, and the rest scatter. The thread on the larger bane starts to fray.

Patches: 1,2,4,3,3,

Laidan: She snarls, sock of these little things, wanting to find the big one. They had to kill it, kill it NOW. Still following Izzy.

Laidan: ((sick. not sock))

Lex Donovan: ((I liked sock better!))

Lex Donovan: ((I liked sock better!))

Warren Cole: ((lol me to, not enough socking going down))

Joshua Coil: ((Sock puppets!))

Karlos Basoalto: ((Sock puppet masturbation. What a great name for a band))

: (*cries*)

Shadowfae: And, in the house we have Karlos heading for the basement, Warren with a dead BSD, Lex fighting for her life, and Josh in the hallway. Dream is just getting to the umbra, which is hot where he is, full of crackling green energy over all the walls. In the umbra the tie is fraying, and wrapped in it's bonds is revealed a struggling phoenix. Dream too, can see the phoenix. [People upstairs, what you doing?]

Patches: [There used to be a band named that. Now thye go by the name of Creed. *Nods sagely*]

Lex Donovan: (Lex continues bashing the bitch against the wall.)

Joshua Coil: ((Going after the Spiral on Lex, telling her to go check on the people. To get out of here and let the Omega die for her. Which I'll do in a post!))

Joshua Coil: ~ws~ People in room! Bound! Go help! I kill!

Shadowfae: [Roll attack, then dmg A-K]

Patches: *A yelp of pain as the bane tears away some skin before escaping in its injured state, turning to follow the line gain, braying once more like a good track hound*

Warren Cole: ((moving into the hall)) "DREAM!!" he struggles through his nicely burnt up lips.

Lex Donovan: 3,6,6,7,4,

Lex Donovan: 7,3,5,3,10,5,8,

Lex Donovan: 7,3,5,3,10,5,8,

Lex Donovan: ((I rolled attack wrong! Rerolling!))

Joshua Coil: 5,8,8,1,9,7,7,9,3,

Joshua Coil: 8,6,9,2,3,4,9,1,8,3,5,10,4,5,

Shadowfae: Snap go Josh's jaws. Crunch goes the crinos' spine, and down she falls.

Shadowfae: [Umbral, what you doing?]

Joshua Coil: ~ws~ Not time. People. Bound. Help. Karlos where?

Lex Donovan: ~Where people,~ she asks, panting softly, her ears pressed flat to her skull, tail tucked with the pain.

Karlos Basoalto: ((The Umbral folk will note that the Celt has gone))

Lex Donovan: ~Karlos, down,~ She rowls, pointing to the stairs.

Warren Cole: "~ws~ Alexis Here" Gesturing for her to come,

Joshua Coil: ~ws~ Room. back. Go free. Karlos where?

Joshua Coil: ((End that post at "free".))

Patches: [Phoenix wrapped in coils, right?]

Jeremy Thomas: ((Spending Rage to go Crinos, and offing Banes. Bane offing is good.))

Lex Donovan: ~Downstairs. I don't know!~ She heads towards Warren, shaking her head now and again cause damn but her fucking neck hurts.

Shadowfae: Yes, the phoenix is wrapped in coils, trying to get out. The further out it gets, the less shadow hands around them.

Warren Cole: and Warren nods, hes a mess, fur torn everywhere, two huge tears out of his chest and his face seems burnt, he concentrates as he touches her. ((wp))

Patches: *Barks back to Laidan* There's a firey, er, bird wrapped up in this thread! Tear it free or what?

Shadowfae: [Anyone attacking, roll to attack.]

Warren Cole: 7,6,1,

Laidan: ~ws~ "Can you free it and not damage the rope?"

Laidan: Because the thread leads them to the bane. Loose the thread, they may loose the bane.

Lex Donovan: She rubs her cheek to Warren's arm briefly as he heals her a bit.

Patches: Probly not, I can try... *She scuttles over, to see if she can help untangle the thing without severing the threads*

Jeremy Thomas: 6,8,5,6,3,

Joshua Coil: ((Nope. Leaping down to the base floor, heading for the basement.))

Laidan: ~ws~ "No! Wait! Their totem is associated with fire!" A bark, quickly to her.

Shadowfae: The threads are oily and sticky at once, but with help the spirit is getting free faster.

Laidan: ((gwar. dlp))

Jeremy Thomas: ((Damage))

Jeremy Thomas: 1,6,4,4,7,8,8,9,5,5,

Patches: *She immediately stops* Dammit... *A frustrated growl* Den mebbe it's eating this. I don't know, come talk to it or... whatever!

Discard: Discard growls, wanting to run ahead but unwilling to leave those here in danger.

Patches: *If that was never said, then DLP as well*

Shadowfae: The rope seems to end with the coils around te bird. Dicard can't be sure where ahead would be.

Laidan: And unless someone says end of rope! She has no idea

Patches: [Give me time, i'm eating! *L* ] Doesn't seem to go past the bird, like this is the end of it or something

Shadowfae: The rope fras more rapidly now, and a beautiful woman with violet eyes steps out of a shimmering blur. "Get clear," she calls.

Laidan: Ears flick to the voice, a soft growl. ~ws~ "Who are you?"

Discard: ~ws~ "Friend!" Discard expresses, and moves out of range.

Discard: She can't really say names like this...

Patches: Prolly that Siren they were sayin'... *She skitters away, dragging her handpaws on the ground to get hte sticky-slick off them*

Shadowfae: Dream half tears through one of coils, and the bird calls loudly. It's almost free now.

Laidan: She seems unsure, but she puts her trust in Discard and backs off. Hoping they haven't made an error.

Shadowfae: [Warren and Lex, what you doing?]

Lex Donovan: (Going to get the people untied)

Warren Cole: same, limping and going to check people.

Shadowfae: Lex (and Warren, should he be helping, find three people, one female, two male. One of the males is struggling to get loose. The other two are unconscious.)

Warren Cole: "~Ws~ Wait" to lex as he tries to look at them.

"Patches": [Damnable browser]

Warren Cole: 5,8,2,

Lex Donovan: She almost feels sorry for them as she slinks into the room, hunching to get in the door, her coat thick and black, the back of her neck matted with blood.

Shadowfae: [Where they were, yes. If they get clear, not so much.]

Laidan: ~ws~ "What are you going to do?" She barks to Siren, itching to tear that rope

Warren Cole: "~ws~ Take them" he growls as he starts to free the females, readying to carry them.

Lex Donovan: She nods slowly and moves to finish untying the man.

Shadowfae: "Run, before this whole place is an inferno." The woman smiles, and starts to walk quickly away.

"Patches": Sounds like a plan? *Looks to the other two Garou*

Lex Donovan: ~He's not screaming...male kin...female dancers...Warren?~

Discard: Discard begins to run, but wheels. "Whole place? The house too?"

Discard: "Or just umbra, here?"

Laidan: She looks confused. Very confused. ~ws~ "We can't leave the spirit though. Is it almost free? What are you going to do?!" She barks again to Siren

Warren Cole: ~ws~"clean" he frowns picking up the women. "Careful"

Lex Donovan: She nods, looks to the man and grunts, picking him up, growling angrily if he struggles.

: She tore it free. *She nudges Laidan* GO.

Shadowfae: Freed, the guy starts helping untie the girl. Flames are starting to lick outside the window.

Laidan: ((Was that Patches?))

Warren Cole: Warren starts back out and down the stairs. struggling to carry the women

Jeremy Thomas: ((So what exactly can I see from my vantage point right now?))

Shadowfae: "She'll get herself loose. And yes, out of here. The house, the yard, that whole line of thought." Siren says. She's certainly headed away from the flaming bird.

Lex Donovan: And since the man is mobile, Lex propels her ahead of him, burning rage to shift down to a rather nekkid glabro. Damn is she ugly.

Shadowfae: Dream sees a bird made fire starting up from those coils, almost completely free. There's Siren, and Discard and Laidan, all near him.

Discard: Discard barks at Laidan. "C'mon!"

Laidan: She starts to slowly back away, trying to call to the spirit... asking if it needs aid.

Shadowfae: Everyone gets out of the house without further incident.

Laidan: 6,9,7,6,8,6,3,

Laidan: ((per alert to sense Jeremy)) She smells Jeremy, barking to him quickly. ~ws~ "Siren says the place is going to burn! Get everyone out!"

Jeremy Thomas: ((So they are near him. It was kind of sounding like they weren't, thus, my confusion. Danke.)) He growls, shaking his head. He's not leaving until he knows the others are okay. He goes to melt back through the Gauntlet.

Warren Cole: And Warrens heading straight out to the truck with them, whining with pain but carrying on doggedly,

Shadowfae: The spirit responds with a triumpant cry, spreading its wing and beating them once, twice, and the house catches fire in their umbral sight as it rises to hover over it.

Joshua Coil: *He roars in lupus, outside. Roars to attract attention to himself, to make himself easier to find to Karlos.*

Jeremy Thomas: ((Spending WP))

Jeremy Thomas: 8,5,10,7,10,

Lex Donovan: Once out of the house she does a quick head count. "We're missin' people! Get them out of here!" She turns, starts heading back to the house. "JOSH! KARLOS!"

Jeremy Thomas: ((Whew))

Laidan: Oh, its free now. NOW its time to bail. She turns to follow Discard and Izzy/

Patches: [Bah... *Kicks it*] *She Yips and dashes off the way they came*

Joshua Coil: *No, he is clearly not responding to Lex's command. Looking, sniffing around for Karlos, for the five that he scented.*

Discard: Discard goes to phase out of the umbra.

Discard: 9,3,4,

Laidan: Laidan follows Discard.

Discard: and she begins to move back into the material world...

Laidan: 7,7,9,2,2,

Lex Donovan: She hurries to Josh's side. "Where is he?"

Joshua Coil: ~ws~ Went this way. Out window. Follow. Cannot find!

Shadowfae: And Dreams in the house, which is slowly filling with smoke.

Jeremy Thomas: As soon as he's through the gauntlet, he does a quick look around upstairs, then runs downstairs. Keeping his breath held, hoping his increased lung capacity in Crinos will help him out.

Lex Donovan: "The house is burning, Josh, get out of here!"

Shadowfae: Two dead crinos upstairs, oe head human. No one else in the house.

Patches: *She does likewise*

Warren Cole: Warrens standing outside caked in his own blood, looking for the other three returning, 3 people at his feet.

Joshua Coil: ~ws~ Not without Karlos. GO, will catch up.

Patches: 8,5,

Lex Donovan: "No! You have kin. Two of them last time I counted. Go. That's an order." She snarls at the wolf, lips pulling back from her teeth.

Jeremy Thomas: Yes, he will stay inside to do a thorough check downstairs. The hell with his own well-being, he's making sure everyone's out. Once he's satisfied the entire house is secure, THEN he leaves.

Laidan: Once through the gaunlet, she moves back into lupus, moving towards the scent of Warren and blood.

Discard: Discard phases in some distance from the house, in hispo form. She looks about, sees that not everyone is there, and looks to Warren.

Joshua Coil: ~ws~ I heal it. Don't worry! Go, please. *A slight whine, as he sniffs around to catch some scent of Karlos.*

Lex Donovan: "Then I'm staying. Do you smell him at all," she asks, rather glad of the fire warming her pale skin even if it is threatening to destroy eveyrthing around them.

Laidan: ~ws~ "Warren? Who needs to be healed?"

Shadowfae: Dream gets out of the house, without too much trouble, since it does do the same instantaneous combustion it did in the umbra. And everyone but Karlos is out on the lawn.

Laidan: 4,3,9,3,6,7,8,

Warren Cole: Warren turns to Laidan smiles, nodding "~WS~ look after " to discard.

Laidan: She inhales, deeply, taking in scents. All but one. A worried whine deep in hr throat

Jeremy Thomas: He looks around, quickly sizing up the situation. ~WS~ Where is Karlos?

Patches: *And whumph, about five minutes later, Izzy rolls out of the Umbra, snorting and sneezing in crinos*

Joshua Coil: 6,8,7,6,10,

Lex Donovan: "Can't find him," she grunts. "Fuck! If he aint' in the house then someone took him."

Joshua Coil: *sniff sniff...*

Laidan: The lupus paces, slightly. ~ws~ "Warren, who needs to be healed? Where is Karlos?"

Joshua Coil: ~ws~ Five! Here... car, was car. Where? FOLLOW!

Warren Cole: "~ws~ Me, Then I Look" he growls

Lex Donovan: "How?"

Discard: ~ws~ We must rescue him.

Laidan: Her head jerks up at Josh's bark. ~ws~ "where?! What?" She steps, anbd then goes back to Warren, to heal him (spending one WP)

Discard: Her posture is unsure. She is worried.

Laidan: 4,1,3,1,4,4,

Laidan: ((Son of a bitch -_-))

Patches: *She licks at the gashes on her shoulder with a soft growl. shaking her head* ~Ht~ still have someone inside?

Warren Cole: ((oo jeez))

Jeremy Thomas: He gives a snarl, and looks back at the house. He shifts down to Homid, not giving a rat's ass about his nakedness at the moment. "Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK!!!"

Joshua Coil: ~ws~ You hurt. I not. Go find Malcolm. I follow Karlos!

Discard: Discard shifts to Homid form, her simple clothing on, but her hair and horns exposed. She looks down the road silently, her expression sober.

Laidan: ~ws~ "I will go with Josh, my nose is good. I am not hurt. Jeremy, can you help Warren?"

Lex Donovan: She growls and scrapes a hand across her shaven head. "We need to leave. This place is burning. The fire department will be here soon and the police. We need to get back to the Concerto, regroup and get let Fausto and Malcolm know what happened."

Joshua Coil: ~ws~ No time.

Discard: "Josh, me too," she says. "Let me come. I run fast."

Lex Donovan: "EIther of you have a cell phone dedicated to you," she asks, conceding.

Discard: Discard shifts down to Hispo, preparing for a long run.

Laidan: ~ws~ "Josh, Discard and I will go. The rest, back to the Concerto to let them know what happened. No time. like Josh says." Trotting over to Josh and stick her nose to sniff. "Mine is in my coat."

Patches: *She looks to Lex, shifting to Homid, her black shirt holding a bloodstain quite well* Alright, we don' wanna be 'round when the cops or whoever show up and see us bloody and hte place on fire

Laidan: ((Meaning her cell is in her coat))

Shadowfae: They find the direction of the car quicklu enough.

Jeremy Thomas: He nods to Laidan, and moves to heal Warren.

Lex Donovan: "Track them only, don't go in until you've gotten us."

Discard: Discard moves next to Josh and readies herself.

Joshua Coil: *Running. He moves.* ((Dex+Ath?))

Laidan: ~ws~ "We'll wait if we can." And she starts off after the scent of the car and Karlos.

Jeremy Thomas: 9,6,7,10,

Lex Donovan: LEx shakes her head and moves back to the car, dragging her extra clothes out and sliding into them. "Everyone in the truck...We gotta get out of here."

Shadowfae: Won't be needed. They aren't far enough. Unless you want to see who gets there first.

Laidan: ((I'm good))

Joshua Coil: ((Me too...))

Patches: *She nods, jogging back to the truch*

Discard: ((Same.))

Warren Cole: Warren shifts back to homid, now just in his jeans a destroyed basktball vest covered in blood. He holds a fist out to Jeremy, nodding, "S'good.."

Shadowfae: They come across Karlos with a carful of kids, and one decapitated body not far from the car. The little spirit is sitting in the passenger seat.

Karlos Basoalto: He notes the truck going by. Goddamnit, this goes from bad to... Hold on, that might be Alexis... He peers at it.

Joshua Coil: *He looks around, and he growls slightly. Looking around. Sniffing the body mainly, and then Karlos to make sure he is all right.*

Discard: Discard is, of course, easily recognizable from a distance, and she hurries over to Karlos with visible relief.

Lex Donovan: Yup. Lex. Driving, her cell phone in hand, trying to hit the fucking speed dial but the girl is upset.

Jeremy Thomas: Once he's done with Warren, he does the fist thing, then gives a curt nod to Lex before moving to the cab. He pulls a T-Shirt and jeans out of his backpack and pulls them on, puts his jacket on, and slides in. He's quiet as he gets in, looking at the burned remnants of the house. Saying a near-silent prayer to Gaia for the souls of those who died tonight.

Warren Cole: and warrens in his pack on the back of the truck searching out his flask.

Patches: *And with the skinny waif clinging to the tailgate so she doesn't fly out of the excited Ahroun's truck*

Laidan: She let's out a very ting whine of relief, smelling Karlos alive, and the spiral dead. Carefully going towards him, as he smells others.

Laidan: ((tiny, and she. Not he))

Karlos Basoalto: He scritches Josh's nose. "Anyone know how to drive a car?" He's splattered with blood, his woad is dry and cracking, his face streaked with tears.

Shadowfae: The four kids in the back of the car range from almost two to seven, two girls, two boys.

Discard: The horned wolf lopes toward Karlos hurriedly, then moves a little slower to avoid spooking the kids. She clearly wants to give the man a big wolfy hug.

Lex Donovan: FInally she manages to hit the right button.

Lex Donovan: FInally she manages to hit the right button.

Lex Donovan: And frowns as she gets the disconnected message...Fausto never gave her his new number.

Shadowfae: And all four kids are unonscious. No spooking there.

Laidan: She nuzzles Karlos, gently nudging. Asking if he nees to be healed.

Joshua Coil: *He nods at that, in lupus. A slight whine.*

Joshua Coil: *A shift to homid, then, the big naked man with the bloody teeth.* I can drive, sir.

Discard: No spooking indeed. Discard shifts to homid as well, though she has retained her clothing. Her horns remain exposed.

Karlos Basoalto: He shakes his head to Laidan. "I'm all right." He gives out lots of fussins to various incoming wolves. Then he slips across to the passenger seat, gazing at Josh. "I think the flaw in my plan was killing the driver."

Discard: "I'm glad you're ok, Mr. Basoalto," Discard says quietly.

Warren Cole: Warren reaches into his pack and tosses a can of warm beer to Izzy. "yah did good ragabash.."

Shadowfae: The spirit in the passenger seat licks daintily at his shoulder wound, or as daintily as a critter whose bones are warped to the point there are little crunching sounds as he moves can be.

Laidan: She rumbles a soft greeting with Discard. Carefully, and a little unsure, making her way to the car. Staying in lupus.

Laidan: ((agreement. not greeting))

Joshua Coil: *He squirms into the car, and sighs.* Gum. There is GUM on the floormat. That is disgusting. Let's go.

Shadowfae: And then clambers into Karlos' lap when he moves, watching all the Garou.

Karlos Basoalto: His hands wrap protectively around Magen, stroking the little... thing's head reassuringly.

Patches: *She catches it with a snort* I wait real nice... *A smirk at Warren, popping the top and taking a deep gulp. She likes it, even though i'm personally gagging at the thought*

Lex Donovan: ((To da bat concerto!))

Discard: Discard looks at the creature with interest. She doesn't get in the car; it's crowded enough.

Laidan: Laidan VERY carefully curls up into a ball on the floor of the backseat as they drive. Silent

Shadowfae: There is a little chirping trill and all the creature's feathers smooth back so they won't be ruffled.

Laidan: That noise makes her ears perk up curiously

: ((to concerto))

Joshua Coil: *He tries not to look over to it. He is clearly wound up. And he'd been wanting to kill that spiral himself. He drives behind Lex to the Concerto.* Fausto can get rid of this truck later, right?

Laidan: ((To the Concerto, it seems))

Discard: (( huh. Maybe I should have had Discard get in one of the vehicles ))

Joshua Coil: ((stay with the kids in the back of the truck?))

Discard: (( ok. truck it is. ))
