WHO || Lanston Wellington, Drax the Destroyer, Wolverine, Nathan Young, Faith Lehane, Maxwell Briggard, Sam Winchester, Rocket, Eric Carpenter, Cora Hale, Dimitri Belikov, Alanna, Jaime Lannister, Klaus Mikaelson, Gus Harrison
WHAT || A team of Knights is tasked to assault the site of Shadowkind experimentation on Andres, free the Shadowkind within, and recover Sir Bancroft, if he's being held there.
WHERE || Andres Isle
WHEN || September 19th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam

[ Having spent months scrying on areas of the Island scouted out by Sir Bancroft and Sir Chessing, Hasmed is able to send a few groups to the Island via greater teleport spells, with a fairly small margin for error, as to where they're going to land. The Shadowkind prison teams land flawlessly, and the very big group appears in a clearing in the middle of the woods, abruptly finding themselves surrounded by trees and mostly darkness. The moon is in its last quarter, and with the trees so thick above them, there are only patches of light that filter down here and there. Those with darkvision or lowlight vision can see perfectly, but anyone with normal vision may find themselves squinting to see much of anything.

The teleport spell only works if the entire group is physically connected, so when they arrive, Wolverine yanks his hand off Nathan's shoulder, and gives Drax a Look like stop touching me if you value your hand. Eric runs his Drakenet app to determine their location, then announces: "Dead on." In other words, no spell mishap sending them miles off target. Beside them all, Lan's mount, Daisy, stamps her feet slightly, obviously unnerved by the magic. He whispers "Whoa, there" and reins her in, causing her to settle. ]

Comments

[druidisms]

[ gus isn't too fussed, letting go of daisy's flank and mellie's fluffy paw as the huge bear drops down to all fours, snuffling her snout against the ground and letting out a low rumble of displeasure. mellie does not like teleportation.

and someone smells like lunch lemurs...

gus's eyes search out for cora and max, checking to make sure both his squires arrived with all limbs intact, and faith, ditto on the limbs. ]

Everyone good?

[beatupgrass]

[Rocket's up on Drax's shoulder and turns to Sam to fix him with a Look of his own that says in no uncertain terms that he has no problems with you missing any fingers today if you don't let go of him.

He is, most assuredly, very tense, but despite his drunken fit the previous evening, he's buried all his anxiety in favor of his normal belligerent I-am-gonna-shut-the-fuck-out-of-everything-with-this-unfeasibly-large-gun attitude. There's no room for any other feelings here.]

Aside from never wanting to do that again? [He shudders. Fucking magic shit. He hops down off Drax's shoulder and looks around. Yaay darkvision.]

[autorevive]

Would've been better if someone let me hold their hand. [i guess the person on nathan's other side was chopped liver. sorry, other person. HE HAS DADDY ISSUES WITH WOLVERINE. w/e, he adjusts the straps on his BACKPACK FULL OF GRENADES.]

[familybusiness]

[Yep, letting go of the talking raccoon. Seriously, strangest thing he's ever seen. And he's seen a lot. Never over it. Please, let him keep his fingers he needs them.

Also wtf teleportation this world is insane.]

We should probably get moving. The farther we get before they realize we're here, the better.

[impetere]

[Cora is just ... surrounded by a sea of tall people. If Gus misses her on the first go, then it's probably because she's standing next to Sam, who's got a good foot on her as it is. She doesn't seem too bothered by it, however, and releases him and Faith pretty much as soon as they have the all clear.

Teleportation spells? Definitely weird. She's just grateful they didn't merge into some kind of freakish beast.

But she does have all her limbs. And dark vision, so seeing is not a problem for her. She peers around the edges of the group, catching sight of Gus with Mellie and then starting to wander her way over.]

Which way is the prison?

[msattentionspan]

[Faith doesn't care about the raccoon that talks, or the shirtless guy, or the whole magically teleported thing. Her main thought is how when she signed up to become a knight she had done it to stay away from prison. Who knew a mission would just drop her right on the front door? Not that prisons really have a front door. At least she's got a few familiar faces around her.

A simple roll of her shoulder and she's pretty much ready to figure out where they need to head from here.]

I'm ready to get this taken care of. [ie: let's just get going.]

[asuma]

[Klaus wants to know why he was grouped with the animals tbh, but beyond that he doesn't really care about any of y'all and can see perfectly fine. That said, he's paying much more attention to his surroundings at the moment than he is any of his teammates and their inane chatter. But he's present and accounted for all the same.]

eric, cora, dimitri, alanna, jaime, klaus, gus

[sirstickuphisass]

[ meanwhile the woods team has been patiently waiting for the jail team to breach the interior... and in so doing would be treated to the sound of blaring alarms issuing from the facility in the distance. ]

[trebond]

Well, I suppose that means they've made it, then.

[impetere]

[Cora takes a deep breath and shifts her weight so that she's ready to be on the attack. She remembers Vi saying that there was stuff in the woods, so she turns her eyes out to the trees, ready to fight if something does decide to come at them (spot 24, listen 25).]

[lionbrave]

[Jaime draws his sword casually, patting the neck of his horse with a gentle hand.]

Time for our share of the fun.

[druidisms]

[ mellie roars cheerfully bc bears gonna bear tbh, while gus draws his quarterstaff and casts shillelagh on it so now it does 1d10 + 6 dmg. on each end. :) ]

[likeagod]

[Dimitri follows his comrades, pulling out his silver stake as the alarms continue to sound in the distance.]

logan, nathan, drax, rocket

[adamantiumed]

[ up on the roof~~

i forgot to ever mention what rocket discovered about the remote?? it appears to be incredibly fucking basic, actually. like a remote control, but without a control stick. the screen hosts a wide array of serial numbers, and when one of them is selected, a very short list of commands is there - "Attack, Defend, Return, Destroy, and Stop."

meanwhile, logan gets up there and deposits nathan beside him, going to join drax and rocket, who've discovered that the door he ripped off leads to ... a set of double doors. ]

Well?

[beatupgrass]

[Rocket could give the remote to the people down there to give them an edge against the next line of defense the prison guards send out, but nah. It's his. Are you really gonna take something from an entitled raccoon?

Anyway, he marches over to the doors]

Give me a tic. [It's a good thing he came prepared. He gets a lockpick kit out of one of his pockets and uses Drax as his own personal stepping stool, so he can work. (Disable device 25)]

[autorevive]

[aww, his romantic moment with logan is over. as he climbs off, he spies rocket doing his thing and decides to be helpful with] If that doesn't work, I've got plenty more grenades. [LET'S BLOW UP EVERYTHING!!!!!]

[msattentionspan]

[Faith isn't the type to just stand around and wait for people and even with her bullet wound she's still gonna climb up the drain pipe - since she doesn't have claws - (climb 23) to join up with the group of them.]

Keep the smoke ones to yourself this time. [Only useful commentary for the moment.]

[adamantiumed]

[ rocket unlatches the door, and they open into a long, sterile corridor that ends with two imposingly tall double doors at the far end as well. a few doors line the corridor here and there on either side. the walls and floors have odd black streaks on them in places as well. there's a strange smell in the room, and logan's nose twitches as they make their way in. ] Something burning?

[spinerip]

This entire place will be, by the time we're through with it. [A beat.] Possibly metaphorically. Dissembling it through blunt force is also acceptable.

[But (wis 15) means he recognizes the scent as well. He frowns.]

It would be inconvenient if the fire starts while we're inside.

[He's gonna draw the twin blades from his boots, just in case. Does he believe he can fight fire with knives? We just don't know.]

eric ♔ cora, dimitri, risa

[sirstickuphisass]

[ eric stares in horror from the treeline as lan transforms, shock written over his features, as he struggles to come to grips with what he's seeing enough to actually register lan's order. he gestures to the others to move ahead through the woods, where the prisoners are already running for it. ] Come on!

[likeagod]

[W E L P. That was unexpected.

The two orders are enough to break through his surprise, though, and he moves to head through the woods, trying to gain some ground to lead these escaping prisoners through the woods.

It wouldn't do them any good to run headfirst into a threat. Better he than them.]

[impetere]

[Cora lingers a little bit longer, watching the transformation with something that isn't so much discomfort as it is familiarity, possibly even a bit of longing. Other werewolves, while they've been around in the castle, it's still not a pack like she's wanted. Lan was hiding in plain sight all this time and she didn't even notice.

But it's not a long linger because there's fire everywhere and her eyes flash in response to the memories it brings up and she turns to egg the horse on, following after Dimitri and keeping her arm on the smaller prisoner to keep them sitting on Daisy.]

1/2

[sirstickuphisass]

[ on they go in silence, leading the way through the woods. cora and dimitri would catch eric looking over at risa for a moment, before he asks: ] Did you know?

[layonhands]

[ she doesn't respond for a moment, but then nods. ] Just a few of us did.

[impetere]

[And Cora, who is totally eavesdropping (listen 28), glances back to them.]

Why was it a secret?

[It's not like Wynn has something against werewolves. Obviously, as one of them was sent on this mission in the first place, and one is fighting with him at his side now.]
