CHAPTER THREE ♔ what's done in the dark will be brought to the light
♬ god's gonna cut you down - johnny cash
WHO || The Knights
WHAT || The aftermath of Chapter 2
WHERE || London, England and variou
WHEN || Evening of June 7th --> onwards
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread.
In less than twenty-four hours, everything has turned on its head.
A Knight and her allies were kidnapped by Iscariot agents for execution in Rome, barely escaping with their lives.
A mission meant to free one Knight from the influence of a dark god succeeded - at the price of another's life.
A simple recon mission at a Keijen Blade concert nearly led to two Knights committing mind-controlled suicide in front of an eager crowd.
Several Knights went to see Draken Crombe, leader of the Church of the Lord's Humanity, speak in person, and learned just how sinister his religion's dogma is.
A call from Sir Hathaway alerted Wynn to the escape of the doppelganger from the Knight's dungeons, an escape perhaps aided by Elena Gilbert.
A demigod interrupted what might have been a simple smash and grab retrieval of an artifact.
And most horrific of all, in the middle of the night, hundreds of Shadowkind in New York City awoke, and walked in a mindless trance down to the Hudson River to drown themselves. Only the quick thinking and combined efforts of the Knights present and their allies prevented all of them from succeeding.
Beset on all sides, a dark time awaits for the Knighthood - who were already suffering from the capture of Dragon's Claw Sir Thomas Bancroft at the hands of their long time enemy Dimitris Sarandis of Andres Isle.
In times such as these, the light can be difficult to find. Hope itself seems somewhere just out of reach.

But as effective as them talking to nat-20-chan was for the moment, Adam wasn't going to feel comfortable dipping out unless this air traffic control operator was officially a member of team help keep them all out of jail. Which meant getting in his head.]
Help them with whatever they need. [I guess the operator in question was too busy staring at Lydia's tits because his combined will save and +5 bonus of knowing what was up only added to 13, and that ain't enough to keep Adam out this time. At least this way he wouldn't be asking a million questions and potentially doubting their story.]
I'm gonna go find Lila and her boyfriend. [Unless there was anything else he is gonna head off to do that.]
no subject
Meanwhile downstairs, Jaime shoots the other two men a look.] Ser Barristan Selmy. [He sounds a bit more believable this time (bluff 13) as he turns cautiously towards them.] Who are you? And what is this strange place?
no subject
Where're the cameras? [Their new best friend will show them the way, probably.] You got things in here while I go get this sorted? [They still had to get the word out that this was a bomb threat, right? That was the other part of the plan other than wipe the security tapes so that they didn't go to jail? All of that is probably thought out to Adam btw. With some sprinkled in quick mentions of how pretty Lydia's hair is or some shit.
MEANWHILE. OUTSIDE. I rolled Jaime's guards' sense motive and he got a six. oh and the other one got a 10. I can read. there are two of them. SO WELCOME TO LONDON.]
Jesus. Calm down, Barry. My name's Tom. [Grumbling to himself] I don't get paid enough for this shit- Look, put the sword down and I'll get someone to explain everything.
no subject
[ She invites herself to the air traffic controller's chair, turning to glimpse his nametag—Mark. Okay, Mark. She spins back towards the switch boards and scoots forward. With her computer use check of 26, she's got this shit on lock. Adam is probably picking up considerable vibes of Lydia's self-satisfaction rn. She moves from one channel to the next. ]
Hi! Yeah, I know he didn't give you a lot of information. We think he might have come down with something, but my name's Linda, and I'll take care of it from here. [ bluff 28 omg she's scary rn. ] We've been experiencing some equipment malfunctions due to increased magnetism. We've been advised to put all planes on the ground until we can be sure it's not Eldritch activity of some kind coming through the Veil, and we thank you for your patience.

Adam—where are we with Lila's end of things? Have you found Elena yet?
[ That out-loud thought was actually intentional. Annnnd probably about 50% intended to drown out Stiles' aggressively loud opinion of Lydia's beautiful curly red hair, let's be honest.
Downstairs, one of the guards holsters his weapon and approaches Jaime with a pacifying hand. The other starts back up into the tower. ] We're working on it, champ. They don't teach patience where you're from? Just cool your heels, he'll be back in a minute. You're in London.

Hold, ser! Stay back from the building! [He raises his sword threateningly (intimidate 14).]
no subject
At least it's helping him focus to get shit done???]
no subject
lydia keeps the communication headset on, moving for the door and pulling the chair over to barricade it. granted, it's ... a rolling office chair. ]
Stiles!!
[ don't mind her vaguely panicking around the door, searching for something that she can use to better barricade it with a search of 22. meanwhile, outside, the guard stops at jaime's threat (will save 11). he looks down from halfway up the stairs, and the other guard takes that as a prompt to demand what the hell is going on. ]
Why would he do that?
no subject
Do you need me to double back? [He was literally standing in line with Lila and her boyfriend at Starbucks--not that he was going to ... advertise that right now. Unless he did on accident (unsure).]
no subject
[He advances on the guards again.]
It may not be safe, and you've no armor. [Bluff 8. HE'S STRUGGLING A LITTLE.] Best stay back here, or at the very least let me go first.
no subject
And there goes Lila. And her boyfriend. Yep, they were doubling back now.] We're on our way.
no subject
Stiles!
[ What do we do what do we do. All she's offering for Adam's mind link is more of what she's shouting and that inherent panic. ]
no subject
Get a hold of yourself, girl! I won't let them harm you! Ser Adam, have you actually searched?
[Cause it seems like he's just left. Meanwhile, Jaime advances on the guards. Intimidate 19.]
I'll ask you again, Ser. Step away.
no subject
He'd ask if Stiles was dead but they'd probably be able to tell since they're all linked up. Plus dat internal soundtrack...]
no subject
He will just... rush up to the door and try to use his weight to hold it closed, I guess. (str 14)]
Is there another way out of here? [He directs to her in the mindlink but everyone's all connected so feel free to chime in.]
no subject
Wait. Hide. Stop holding the door, just—I have an idea.
[ she doesn't wait to make sure that stiles takes her advice. she just marches into the security booth and grabs the attendant that stiles had been strong arming. this time, she strong arms him, except with her ... vagina. with a charm of 21, she pulls him in for a very sudden, frantic kiss and backs him against the tv screen board.
THERE IS A PLAN HERE, OK. the attendant is like a 6/10 so she's totally not just trying to get an excuse here. her mind is very much broadcasting don't come up to everyone on board. the further away they are, the easier it will be to sell that the attendant was just trying to get nookie without the guards in the room and nothing strange is going on here.
the guard still down at the base of the tower critfailed his will save against jaime's intimidate, so he's freaking out and dropping his gun and holding his hands up. the other one, however, is out of range and still trying to get in the upstairs door. the attendant is resistant, but swayed by lydia's charms and they're definitely making out rn (18). ]
no subject
[Since Lydia is clearly up to something and also not saying all that much. She... has a plan of some sort? Maybe? It sounds like?]
no subject
[And because Stiles trusts more than he rightfully should some days, he does as she asks. He stops holding the door and backs the fuck up so that he'll be behind it when it opens, out of sight...hopefully. (hide 13)]
no subject
... Do you mind?
[ The guard isn't discouraged. He does entirely miss Stiles as he walks further in, however, and pulls his radio up to his mouth. ]
He's Kowalski's buddy. He dragged some girl up into the tower again.
[ At 'again,' Lydia turns her attention towards a very sheepish, very petrified (will 7) air traffic controller. Whose name is apparently Kowalski. The guard down by Jaime rolls his eyes and shakes his head at Jaime, saying "All right, that's enough. Get out of here." He waves him off passively.
In their minds, Lydia thinks aloud, Did you erase us from the footage? for Stiles' benefit. ]
no subject
[And he'll start to walk away. But not too far away. He needs to wait for Lydia and Stiles.]
no subject
Yeah. We're good. Can you get them out of here?]
no subject
Well? We're gonna need a minute.
[ Out loud, she thinks: I think getting US out of here at this point will take a miracle. You should really, really go. The guard moves further into the room and puts a hand on her arm, ready to drag her away from Kowalski but she's already standing stubbornly. ]
Excuse me!
[ She pulls her arm away. ]
I don't know what he told you, but this is a restricted area, lady. You can't be here.
