The murder the Knights are sent to investigate took place in an abandoned warehouse, near the largest highway in London. The aging and dilapidated structure is covered with graffiti and bits of rusting metal.

Squad cars and emergency vehicles have surrounded the building. Outside the main entrance, police officers are questioning a small crowd of people when the Knights arrive.

Fred parks the car, and looks across through the passenger window.

"Must be the place. Let's roll."

[ he nods, and fred and faye head off alone?? it seems like. this is obviously the gang's best idea yet. ]

[reallywicked]

[Yep. Nothing can go wrong.]

You know-- If you wanted to ask me out, there are much simpler ways.

[Look! It's a joke! But no really Fred you're hot.]

[nepotism]

[ he chuckles at that ] This wouldn't really be my first choice of date locale. [ after another hundred feet or so, the tunnel comes to a crossing. the water is now waist-high, making it even more difficult to move through. other than the sounds of their sloshing, and the ever-present rush of water ahead, the tunnel is deathly silent.

well. for a moment. suddenly, the water around them erupts, and the heads of two dinosaurs appear, ready to attack. yaaaay. ]

[godblessyou]

...this is boring. [Yep, T-Diddle's just quietly wandering after them now theoretically she'll hear eating sounds if... the other guys get eaten.]

[nepotism]

[ since he's already drawn, fred wheels on the dinosaur down the left hand tunnel, stabbing down into the water too quickly (13), as barney the dinosaur splashes aside. his next attack fares even worse (atk 11). ]

Where's the other one?!

[cuivre]

[I'm going to...assume it's my turn? lol dinos errywhere. I will also assume they're still close enough to hear that.]

I don't know, man!

[Looking, looking. (Spot 20)]

[reallywicked]

[Faye tries to glance for any sign of the last one but... her spot of 10 leaves her mostly useless. Unfortunately, that glance must have thrown off her aim because she sure misses Barney (attack 13).]

Ugh, please just die already.

[herebemonsters]

[ actually they're about a hundred feet of tunnel down from miles :x so idk if he would have heard that, he'd need to make a listen check. i had thought he and astrid were staying behind for now. if they hear what's going on they can start moving that way tho!

yoshi lunges at faye from behind, raking at air (atk 12, 16 dmg), missing her with its foreclaw (atk 6), and then being so overeager that it slams its snout into a wall when it tries to bite at her, rendering itself... dazed as it falls into the water with a loud splash. (crit... fail :|)

t-diddle, wandering after them, would suddenly have dino burst out of the water at her down the tunnel a few feet from where faye & fred are struggling (atk 24, 11 dmg), raking her with its claws. ]

[cuivre]

[Listen check 17, so all should be well. XD WHOOPS]

[pathology]

Holy shit! [astrid sees the surprise dino attack t-diddle (spot 25) like she was already over there, so she draws her gun. that her whole action since she doesn't have quick draw tho. WHOOPSIES.]

[godblessyou]

[T-Diddle lets out a shriek and backs the fuck up, drawing her gun because she's down to 3 hp and has like none and she would rather not die. SHE CAN FIGHT FROM A DISTANCE.]

[nepotism]

[ wow team, we've caused zero damage to the dinos so far, let's turn that around. fred chops into barney brutally twice (atk 20, atk 24, dmg 29), blood spurting everywhere, sending supernatural-style blood splatters onto the wall. the dinosaur is only barely hanging on. hearing its friend's horrible screeching, dino wheels away from t-diddle to pounce at fred. its claws miss him, and it snaps beside his head as he dodges away. ] Whoa there, cheetah!

[cuivre]

[Wow asshole dino, don't hit the gnome.

Miles moves forward to engage, despite the fact that he's totally going down if he gets his again, and proceeds to try and punch a dinosaur in the face.

Yep.

(atk 16, 6 lethal if it hits)]

[reallywicked]

Hell yeah! [Okay, Faye may be a little too excited about Fred nailing Barney with two shots. She aims for Barney as well and fires off her own shot (attack 16, also 6 damage if it hits... weird).]

[herebemonsters]

[ miles' fist connects with dino's snout. and then faye's shot goes right through barney's neck and his eyes roll back, as he falls into the water unconscious. yoshi is still dazed, getting slowly to his feet, then slipping in the water and falling back down (double... crit fail a++ dinosaur) ]

[pathology]

[NOT HER HOT MENTOR DINO YOU DICK. she fires a shot at dino (ranged atk 15; 8 dmg if it hits.)]

[godblessyou]

[T-Diddle points her gun at Yoshi bc she's all for shooting things while they're down and fires a bullet (atk 17, dmg 19 fuck yeah double penetration).]

[nepotism]

[ astrid's shot goes wide, but tdiddle shoots yoshi right through the chest while he's down, dammmn. fred turns around to chop at dino. the dinosaur dodges his first attack, but the next one bites into him (20 dmg), more blood spraying against the side wall of the tunnel. dino's still holding on, though and wildly attacks fred with claws and teeth all over town, but he bats back every attack like a fucking pro aw yis ]

[cuivre]

[Guess who's going to kick the dino while he's down?

This guy.

Unfortunately apparently the water makes it hard to aim or something idefk. (atk 13, which i'm guessing will miss? if not dmg 7)]

[reallywicked]

[FAYE ATTEMPTS TO VALIANTLY SLAY A SECOND DINOSAUR but apparently forgot how to gun (attack 7 wtf)]

[herebemonsters]

[ both shots miss, and yoshi finally regains his balance, attacking fred again wildly, but he fends the thing off DESPITE HAVING DINOSAURS ATTACKING HIM FROM BOTH SIDES JFC ]

[pathology]

[astrid tries to shoot dino again ... but it goes wide. (ranged atk 11) :( SORRY FRED-SEMPAI SHE TRIED. /plays i will remember you by sarah mclachlan]

[godblessyou]

[T-Diddle turns her gun on Yoshi now bc apparently she's the only one who knows how to use a gun (atk 17, dmg 7).]

[nepotism]

[ both dinosaurs who are still standing are bloodied and staggered, and fred slams his greatsword into dino's skull (atk 26, dmg 14), yanking it out covered in blood and brain matter as the dinosaur slumps, very dead, between him and miles. he turns without stopping back towards yoshi (atk 22, dmg 14) and swings the sword... cutting his fool head off.

barney over there is barely breathing, unconscious and wheezing. /init as fred lowers his sword with several large, panting breaths. ]

[reallywicked]

[Since she's still right near him, Faye walks oover to put a hand on Fred's shoulder.]

You okay? [And then a glance to the others, too, I guess.] Everyone alright?
