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. ]

Let's see what's behind door number three. [ logan just goes straight for the double doors that had closed after the ember guard upon its arrival, and when they don't open at first push, he decides to make his own door. two swipes of his claws later, he kicks in the ruined section of wall and makes a passage into the hallway beyond. ]

[beatupgrass]

[Rocket pockets the remote again in one of his little pouches and readies his machine gun. Aw yeah. And this time when Rocket looks at Logan's claws, he's not eyeing them because they're shiny... he has other reasons. Everything's getting #tooreal for him right now. He's hyperaware of things.

And he's not even being subtle about his staring either. Enjoy that.]

[adamantiumed]

[ STARING IS RUDE ROCKET. ]

What.

[autorevive]

[nathan crit failed a wis check to notice what rocket was up to, so he just walks beside logan and blathers] He probably has to shit. Don't raccoons shit every five minutes? I read that somewhere.

[beatupgrass]

[Rocket looks away abruptly, like he's the most tsundere thing ever. Also just ignoring you, Nathan. Because if he doesn't, he's going to probably do something no one will appreciate except maybe Sam Winchester.]

Them claws of yours. I was just thinkin' nobody's born with that much metal inside 'em.

[msattentionspan]

[Faith is also pretty sure raccoons aren't just born... talking, but she's not gonna go with the obvious thing, because she's curious about the claws, too.

Also, she's gonna glance back over her shoulder... at the ember guard they're just leaving there??]

Not that it's like leaving the keys in the ignition, but are we good to leave that behind? No one else has a remote like that one that'll just start it up again? [Because - ha ha - no one wants to go through sudden lava at their feet while they go exploring.]

[adamantiumed]

[ logan keeps staring at rocket for an extended moment, mouth set in a grimace, but faith gives him the perfect segueway to just... not answer. :) he looks back at the ember guard instead. ]

Then we kill the guy with the other remote.

[beatupgrass]

[Yep. Moment over. Rocket rolls his shoulders uncomfortably and promptly pretends none of that just happened.] 'Sides if we find a guy with another remote, wouldja rather that thing be back here or right on top of us?

[msattentionspan]

[Faith shrugs.]

Alright, then we just keep going.

[adamantiumed]

Right. [ and with that, logan disappears through the hole he made, looking back through it to say: ] You comin'? [ before moving down the sterile, high-ceilinged hallway beyond. massive doors flank it on either side, most secured with keypads. the first few have no windows whatsoever, but some further down do. ]

[msattentionspan]

Yeah. [Her response is a bit defensive, as if she wouldn't come all this way and then keep going. She follows behind him, making sure to stay as much in the middle as she can.]

Definitely not like any prison I've been to.

[beatupgrass]

[rocket is two and a half feet tall. if you think he's gonna be able to peek in those windows you are crazy. he does look towards them with a wary look and off faith's comment, he tenses.]

Then that makes you one lucky broad.

[autorevive]

[2spoopy. nathan stares around for a second before looking over at faith and blurting out — ] What number prison is this for you?

[adamantiumed]

[ logan has stopped up ahead, staring into one of the cages with a what the fuck look on his face. when anyone catches up, they'll easily see why. the window affords a view into a very low-lit chamber, where the horrible sound of multiple legs climbing on metal can be heard clearly. multiple monstrous creatures lurk within, on the ground, and climbing up the walls - even on the ceiling hanging down: that sport the body of enormous spiders, and the torso and head of female drow. ]

[beatupgrass]

[wow suddenly Rocket doesn't wanna talk about the number of prisons he's been in. He quickens his pace until he catches up with Logan... and stand by his feet like yo???]

It's the ones outside the bars we gotta worry about. C'mon. I can't promise that remote trick's gonna work on all of 'em. [And he takes the lead again.]

[autorevive]

[nathan's mouth gawks open when he gets to the spider lady, then ... words fall out.]

Hey, she kind of reminds me of Felicia.

[*fiona. he means fiona.]

[adamantiumed]

Wynn given any thought to what we're gonna do with all these when we're done? [ he jerks a thumb at the cage, even as he starts moving on ]

[beatupgrass]

Depends. They're victims like the rest, but they're dangerous. It's either they go down with the prison or we risk lettin' 'em loose on the island.

[Rocket shakes his head.] They ain't my call. These things were responsible for keepin' me and the rest inside. I don't got any love for 'em.

[autorevive]

Probably best not to be setting them free into the wilderness.

[just fucking saying ok.]

[adamantiumed]

Is that what he was talking about a bomb for?

[beatupgrass]

You really thought he was gonna leave this place standin'?

[Logan pls. Rocket scoffs.] Even if your boss was too soft for that, I'd take care of it. I've been in a lot of prisons and none of 'em have been nice, but this one... This one oughta burn.

[He's still pretty mad about it, okay. Like it was only... two days ago.]

[adamantiumed]

[ logan shoves open a door near the end of the hall, after glancing inside, and glares through it. ] Yeah.

Think it oughta.

[ the room beyond appears to be some kind of operating lab, trays and instruments next to various gurneys. old bloodstains color the floor, and logan's expression darkens instantly as he looks it over. ]

[beatupgrass]

[♬ unsteady-x ambassadors

Rocket looks like a deer standing directly in the middle of oncoming traffic with every muscle locked up. Everything seems to be going into breathing and he's not even doing that very well, given the unfortunate rhythm of the rise and fall of his tiny chest. After a second or two, he finally grabs a hold of his own good sense and backs away from the door, putting himself against the wall so he doesn't have to peek in, hugging his gun to his chest like it's a security blanket as he sinks into a sitting position.

He's fine. Really.

Just give him a moment.]

[autorevive]

[oblivious to rocket's meltdown over there, nathan just states ... exactly what's on his mind. as usual.]

This place is a dump.

[adamantiumed]

Yeah. [ logan's tone turns a bit wary, his attention fixing on a glass mirror along one wall. he steps that way slowly, and then abruptly slams out a fist, claws extending and cutting through the glass like paper, breaking the one-way window, behind which several men and women in lab coats gawk and takes steps back, cowering against the wall of a little side room. a few raise their hands instantly.

"Let us go, please!" ]
