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. ]

[ uh red is still fucking running for it b/c JAIME IS CHASING HIM WITH A SWORD. so another full retreat over here, despite his promises of letting him live. ]

[impetere]

[Cora just stops right where she is, still shifted. She's not convinced it's over yet, so she's just going to stay a little wolf girl and look around for any sign or sound of something else coming their way (spot 19, listen 13). So held action? I guess? IDK.]

[asuma]

[Are these people for real right now? Klaus does not look pleased to hear the call to stand down, but he eases his grip on orange to keep from causing any further damage as his face reverts to normal (will/concentration: 25). At least the immediate threat of Klaus nomming this guy's throat is gone for now, but he's not letting the bitch run free even if he's holding his attack.]

Looks like this might be your lucky day. [:/]

[trebond]

[ excellent.

not the best showing, but pretty good. alanna has to take it where she can get it. sheathing her blade, she pulls zipties from her bag. rope of the 21st century. she goes for purple first, since he's nearest, and tries to ziptie his hands behind his willing back. ]

[likeagod]

[Dimitri aids Alanna in securing the prisoner and will see to it that he's kept quiet and watched over while the others are secured as well.]

[sirstickuphisass]

[ orange stammers "Who-- who are you people?" to klaus who i'm sure is totally about to start a conversation with him. eric doubles back towards alanna and co, holstering his weapon. ] Are there more of you on their way?

[ purple shakes his head. "We were on patrol when we heard the alarms. As far as I know, we were the only ones out here." ]

[lionbrave]

[Meanwhile Jaime tried and Red still seemed to want to run off so Jaime sees no reason to hold back. He charges again, lowering his sword at the guard's back (atk 26, dmg 28).]

[sirstickuphisass]

[ jaime's sword goes right through the dude's torso.

so very dead.

/init because the other two are surrendering?? ]

[impetere]

[Cora's continuing to survey the area, making sure there's nothing else out there. That alarm is probably going to draw a lot of attention.]

If they were patrolling, eventually someone's going to be looking for them.

[So they should radio in or they should have a plan or something, yes?]

[sirstickuphisass]

If we're lucky, we might be out of here by then. [ anyone who gets a 20+ listen check will abruptly hear the approaching sounds of many, many footsteps, coming from the direction of the prison. ] If we're not--

[likeagod]

[Dimitri only got a 16, so he's sitting the guard down near a tree, unaware of anyone approaching.]

Then we'll hold the line.

[impetere]

[Go go gadget werewolf hearing (listen 22). Cora's ears twitch, and her head turns in the direction of the prison, trying to see what exactly is stampeding their way (spot 23).]

We're not.

[Just to state the obvious. That's about ... as helpful as she's going to be though, other than immediately going on the defensive.]

[asuma]

[Yeah, Klaus doesn't even bother to pretend to be interested in answering orange's question. It isn't until they're alerted to the approach of something new that Klaus even grants this bitch any attention. He should probably zip tie him but he kind of wants the soldier to stop pissing himself and try pulling something so that he can gnaw on him a little.]

Friends of yours?

[trebond]

[ Her listen was only 16, but she's taking Cora's word for it. Alanna levels her sword at Purple in warning, then lowers it and turns to Eric. ]

We've hostages: they may well surrender if we demand it of them, just as these two have.

[technophobic]

[ "No need," says eric, nodding towards the group bursting from the trees. a variety of well-worn shadowkind are running for it, accompanied by risa, faith, sam, and lan astride daisy. they look less like they're returning triumphantly - and more like they're running from something. ] No time to waste!

[familybusiness]

We need to get these people out of here now.

[Mostly just a repeat of what Lan said, but...he's stressing its importance, okay?]

[sirstickuphisass]

I take it there are more guards on their way?

[familybusiness]

More like computer-controlled weapons in the form of monster science experiments. Possibly lots of them.

[This is real life.]

[impetere]

Seriously?!

[Yeah, that's all the helpfulness Cora has to contribute to this conversation. She's all for running if that's what's heading their way, but she's not leaving without Gus and Mellie, so she's holding still for now, glancing to Gus for a cue as to what to do.]

Shutting the computers down wasn't an option?

[familybusiness]

They are shut down.

[Nevermind the fact that...that was part of the problem.]

What we need to do now is get them to safety. Wynn's aware of the situation.

[technophobic]

[ ♬ hey ho (on the devil's back) - katzenjammer ]

Take them through the woods, get them to the boats. In the meantime--

[ a crashing sound breaking through the woods cuts him off, and he pales a bit, glancing back. ] Helm's blood, one of them's on us.

[ 'one of them', indeed, as what breaks out through the trees, felling those in its path, is a massive reptilian monster, grayish in color, with a light yellow belly, and amber eyes glinting off from its six - count 'em, six - heads. it has to be about twenty feet long, and lets out a roar as it smashes towards them across the clearing. ]

There's not enough of us to hold it off! Carpenter, leave us some of yours, and go!

[familybusiness]

It's a Hydra!

[Here comes Sam with his walking textbook brain. Aren't you glad he came along?]

Don't cut off any of its heads unless you're prepared to deal with two more. And watch out for its fire breath!

[druidisms]

[ HYDRA YAY GREAT. gus looks back at cora and yells at mellie, again in korean. ]

Cora, go with Mellie and the prisoners.

[ this is an order, pup. because the best way to deal with hydras is... also fire. he has read a book once or twice. mellie will now follow cora for the rest of the mission. dont touch her puppy. ]

[impetere]

[Yeah, Cora does not like the sound of any of this because fire breath + leaving Gus = unhappy squire, but she's also smart enough to know that she's not going to be any good to any of them if the hydra's fire breath is triggering childhood trauma flashbacks.

So she just nods in agreement, one hand moving to Mellie's shoulder to indicate for her to follow and head off with the rest of the prisoners.]

[layonhands]

Lan, are you-- [ risa watches the paladin with growing anxiety as the group starts to divide, particularly when he dismounts daisy and lifts one of the younger, struggling prisoners onto her back. holding her reins, he gestures to anyone going with eric's team who thinks they can manage a good ride check to take her. ]
