[As Teen Wolf as it would be for Cora to just drop through the hole Faye left in the floor, she's not gonna. If she hadn't been the one to open the hatch initially she probably would have but for right now she'll just force the hatch open the rest of the way before dropping down onto the stairs to follow her mission leader.

She shifts as she goes, eyes flashing gold in the darkness as she tries to find some sign of where Faye went (spot 28, listen 21, survival 29).]

Faye!

[Meanwhile Kenzi is just hyperventilating over here because that right there is some b-grade-horror shit that she is in no way ready for right now.]

Oh yeah, sure lets... go see what just did that up close and personal now, shall we? [For all her muttered protests however, she will move to follow Cora because while she might talk like an ass. She isn't one.

Most of the time. (Spot 11, Listen 16.) It's dark and she's maybe peeing her pants a little so that's probably the best she's got right now.]

Oh, this is great. [Too bad she already used her daily dancing lights. It'd be pretty useful right now. But at least she's got low light vision so that... might help. She creeps forward after Kenzi and Cora, and apparently the adrenalin's making her super focused (spot nat 20 (29 total) listen 9).]

[Down beneath the hovel, the dark, earthen cellar is awaits them. A giant, hunched, mockery of a woman who stands roughly 10-feet-tall leers at them, Faye tapped in her arms. Her skin is pale gray and glistens damply. Her dugs lie limp beneath a torn, bloodied, and soiled wedding gown made for a much smaller being. Her face is twisted into a rictus of psychotic glee.

Faye struggles in the creature's grasp, but cannot seem to break free. Her voice is pitched high in panic, trying desperately to free herself.

time for a new init plurk!]

[Cora doesn't hesitate and continues to charge forward, claws flashing as she does. Clearly the tiny werewolf doesn't afraid of horror monsters twice her size and his going to lash out and attack twice (attack 30, damage 18, attack 31, damage 27 with penetration damage).]

[Cora literally tears into the giant, monstrous woman, causing her to howl and release Faye from her grasp just so that she can go after the werewolf with full force of her own claws!! (attack nat 20, damage 44)

Faye stumbles away from the creature, eyes wide and clearly terrified of what just happened.]

Cora! [She can't cast a fireball or something with Cora locked in melee with this thing, so she takes the rest of her turn to draw out her gun since she was 100% not ready for this bs and understandably needs a second to catch herself up.]

[Taradiddle's running out of spells, but the least she can do is try and alleviate some of the damage (cure light wounds - 6 hp). It's not nearly enough, but hopefully it can at least keep her alive a little longer.]

[Cora is startled by the force of the attack, knocking her slightly off balance for a moment, but she still comes back at the creature again, slashing with both sets of claws (attack 27, damage 16, attack 25, damage 15).]

[The creature goes to let out a growl of rage, but Cora just... rips her throat out. The sound is nothing more than a gurgle as the last bit of life escapes her and the massive, hideous woman collapses to the ground in a heap.

Faye, finally having drawn her gun walks over and puts a bullet in her head.]

Just... to be safe. [this has been way too horror movie for her to take any chances. She glances around the dark room for a moment before she remembers something slightly handy...

She has robot flashlight eyes... so you're welcome everyone, Faye's eyes are lighting up the dark room a bit better.]

Let's look around fast and get the hell out of here.

Woah, what spell is that? [She isn't too distracted by how cool it is to keep her own eyes wide open. She searches the room super carefully (search 23).]

[Things that happened and nobody here is surprised by it?! The scary thing got destroyed before Kenzi even had a chance to pull out her gun.]

And that right there is why you're Team leader! [Which, actually sounds like a compliment tbh. That was for the bullet in the head not the flashlight eyes ftr.]

Big fan of fast... [As she snoops ar- Are you kidding me right now?! As she fails to do anything but stand there and recover her bladder cause she crit failed her search check.]

[Cora is just going to stay in wolf form for a bit because it seems easier if something's waiting in the woodwork, and she's just going to sniff around and see what she finds (survival 21, search 14). She's still looking for Autumn's scent, if it's anywhere to be found.]

[They find some stuff! Well, mostly Cora. Those crazy tracking skills. There's more gold/jewels for Kenzi and Taradiddle to be excited about. And also a small, worn book. Autumn's scent is also in the air but it's extremely faint, and the overwhelming smell of mold makes it hard to follow from down here.]

Anything?

[Cora will reach forward to pick up the book and flip it open to see what's inside as she speaks. If Kenzi and Taradiddle want the gold and stuff they can go for it - she doesn't really care.]

Autumn was here, but she's gone now - there's too much mold for me to follow it from down here, and she's been gone for a while.

[Sweet, gold and jewels! Taradiddle stuffs her pockets and beckons Kenzi over since no one else on this mission is any fun.]

So where do we go now? She's just... gone?

[Mental brofist for T-Diddle to be honest as she... gives herself an extra cupsize or two by stuffing shit down there.]

Aren't there like, magical GPS spells or something that can tell us where to find her?

[While Kenzi and Taradiddle scoop up the treasure, Faye gently plucks the book from Cora's hands and opens it up. She starts reading aloud:]

I told Mrs. Henchal about Big Sister, but she doesn’t believe me. She just whooped me for fibbing. But I know Big Sister is real.

Most miserable day ever. Marcos the boy I liked, the one I told you about a few pages ago, is just like the rest only meaner. He lied when he said he would go to the Solstice Dance with me. He just stood there and lied. And Gracelle was there with him and everyone else laughing at me. I hate them all. I wish they all died. Big Sister says that they deserve it, but I’m so scared ... I wish my folks were still alive....

Everyone wants to kill me—even Mrs. Hench! I had to run. They say I’m a witch. And I think I am one too. I can move things and make fire. I’m evil....

I skinned my knee on some roots and was crying when Big Sister found me. She’s like this old lady (when you can see her), but she somehow reminds me of mom. She gave me this necklace with a big pearl —it’s real pretty —and she took me to her house in the swamp. It was real scary with the wolves and the blackbirds and all, but the scariest was her sister. She’s called Lonni and she’s real tall and pale like a drowned person. She has these teeth like....

Big Sister lives in a magic castle to the Northwest. She says that one day she will take me there.

[Pulling the book back, Faye just shakes her head.]

Jesus, this shit is creepy.

[Her head tips the side as she listens to that, before looking around and directing her attention to the corpse of the monster she just murdered.]

I'm gonna guess that's Lonni. But who's Big Sister?

[Not that that's a question anyone wants to answer, but ... ]

Maybe we should try and find this "magic castle"?

Wasn't the ghost on the boat ranting about her sister? You don't think..? [Faye snaps the book shut and jerks her head towards the stairs.]

Whatever we do, it's not going to be in this creepy murder basement. I say we get back outside and figure out a game plan.

[And unless anyone objects, she'll just lead the way to get them out of this gross smelling hovel.]

[Cora nods in agreement, because she doesn't want to be down here either. So up the stairs she goes to collect her kitty friend so they can keep moving.]

[Yep. As soon as Taradiddle and Kenzi have finished gathering the treasure, she's gonna follow right after them.]

[Assuming Kenzi will follow too and not hang out in the creepy murder basement... As soon as they make it outside and away from the worst of the stench from the house, Cora would more easily catch that scent, stronger here, coming from the northeast of where they currently are. The little cat friend in her arms would also start to struggle a bit, trying to get down.]

[Which Cora will let him do, ready to follow him to wherever he wants to go.]

This way!

[Bad memories of creepy murder basements for this one she is... so coming. And... seeing the cat struggling.]

I swear to Bob if this turns out to be a Mummy. [Muttered under her breath. Apparently she thinks this Mission is like, every movie she's ever watched coming to haunt the fuck out of them.]

[Between Cora and the familiar, the group is able to navigate a path to the northeast with little trouble. They end up deep in a wooded area, with no road in sight. By now, night is starting to fall.

Honestly, Kenzi's horror movie theory may not be that far off.

Listen checks please!]
