WHO || Anastacia O'Keefe, Bambi Dalton, Frankie Matera, Helen Magnus, Alaric Saltzman, Alice Lincoln, Edain, Thoster Chatwyn, Hook, Adi Laskaris, Max Rast, Brantley River
WHAT || A team of Knights is tasked with providing transport off the Island for local Shadowkind
WHERE || Andres Isle
WHEN || September 19th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam

[ The two groups responsible for evacuation of Shadowkind travel to the island via stealth boat, which puts their arrival a little behind everyone else's.  They run aground not far from both the woods, and the harbor.   Edain grins out at the sleepy island, dressed in full armor, hand on the hilt of his sword.  Anastacia frowns as she watches the woods, however, clearly more on edge about what they have to do. ]

From here, everything looks so peaceful...

[ abigail looks absolutely horrified, visibly paling as her eyes skip and skitter around the room. if you think she isn't having some serious flashbacks to beverly and gideon you are so very wrong. her hand lifts to cover her mouth and her shoulders heave before she shoves it all down. get a grip, hobbs. you've seen worse. MAKE LIKE ELSA AND LET IT FUCKIG GO, CHILD. ]

What happened? [ its clipped and sharp. details, she needs them. ]

[unhand]

He stepped on a crab and it nearly bit off his foot.

[fixyourproblem]

[fort save 13. How can a crab bite do this? Maybe the crab bit his leg off and now he is bleeding to death. Even Brantley doesn't know, he can't feel his legs. Well, he is out cold, he literally can't feel them.]

[lurings]

[ with a firm nod, abigail moves forward, tugging out her med kit and crouching down next to brantley and going to fucking town to stabilize him (treat injury 20 total) and then revive him (treat injury 22). wakey wakey! she will work on hit points once she is sure he is conscious. ]

[oftheband]

Think we've bigger problems than crabs. [ edain looks grimly at his phone as wynn's voice spills out for them all to hear. ]

[unhand]

[Welp. Hook draws his sword as voices come out of the talking phone.] Guess we've our work cut out for us, then. [A beat.] Someone should make sure Thoster heard.

[fixyourproblem]

[What? He doesn't get a wake-up kiss? That's dissapointing. He gets back to conciousness nevertheless. He slowly opens his eyes and makes a grunting noise as soon as he starts to feel the pain again.] Uhhh... My foot, is it... still there? [He asks the nearest person without even thinking who they are. With -6 hp, it's hard to know since all you can think is the pain.]

[necessaryevil]

It's not pretty. But that's something that can be fixed later. [ max nods to hook, taking another look around grimly ] This place, we can come back for, after all's said and done. But it's pretty damning evidence to show the people of Andres what's been going on.

[lurings]

[ abigail quickly finishes bandaging brantley's would, and even though her heart isn't in it (BECAUSE WIIL IS IN THE PALACE OH NO) she manages to restore a whopping 3 hp. (treat injury 31) she rocks back on her heels and glances around at all these people she doesn't know/care about as she straightens up and decides max is close enough to the boss for her purposes. ]

That's all I can do for now. Should I go back to Sir Solace? [ or stay here with them??? help??? ]

[oftheband]

Aye, you're free to go, lass. I'm sure he's glad ye came so fast.

[lurings]

[ with a nod, she takes off like a shot. bye fellas, good luck, don't die. ]

[daredtobelieve]

[As Abigail leaves, Helen and some bitches appear.]

Weren't there more of you before?

[Assuming Brantley is on the ground out of sight/recovering from his crab battle and I know Thoster ain't here so...]

[theshameofcain]

[Bambi has her gun out and pointed at the floor, but she's still sort of hiding behind Helen and peeking out.]

Are those body parts?!

[icouldbe_bess]

[ /casually pukes in a nearby crate. ]

[fixyourproblem]

[Thanks, Abigail. Sure, Brantley is still at -3hp, but at least you didn't use magic, so you get a star from Brantley. I'm not sure if you can do anything while at negative hp, so he just raises his body and sits on the floor, looking around the shack. Oh, look! Ladies! Hi, there.] Captain Thoster is watching over the escape ships. And yes, those are body parts. It is better to not look at it. The stench is bad enough.

[unhand]

[Hook gestures at Brantley.] He's still not in great shape.... [Brantley may look slightly less on the brink of death, but only slightly.] If there're monsters afoot, we should get him somewhere defendable, where he's less of an easy snack.

[silvermaid]

Or we could get him back up on his feet. [ and anastacia will put a hand on his shoulder and cast cure moderate wounds to grant him 23 hp ]

[fixyourproblem]

[Brantley can't possibly know what she is going to do. So when she casts the spell on him, he just stays in place, waiting for the spell to end. The spell feels nice but it feels like something is taking over your body for a moment. He doesn't like magic but he can't get mad at someone who is trying to help. Besides, who can resist such beauty?]

Thanks, but can you refrain from doing that again? I'm one of the people who believe in natural healing.

[He smiles toward her, but his frowned brows show his dissatisfaction.]

[unhand]

How do you feel about natural dying? Fairly sure that was a lot more likely than healing at your point.

[fixyourproblem]

[He gives Hook a quick glare before getting back on his feet.] Not good, of course. But at least, it seems someone here will get a good laugh when I die.

[icouldbe_bess]

Okay, boys, can we try to be less dramatic, please? [ still looking sick to her stomach, alice manages to look far more exasperated. ] This is one of those desperate times, desperate measures moments and considering that we're trying to keep the impending death in the if category and not the when, I'm sure we can all agree that sometimes we have to do shit we don't like in order to make that happen. What we think is irrelevant right now and petty bitching will get us no where. [ diplomacy 19, basically shh. ]

I'm going to get Thoster. Meet us at the end of the dock.

[ she puts a hand on anastacia's arm briefly before she turns and flounces out with a toss of her red hair. ah the bossiness of the youngest child used to getting what she wants. ]

[theshameofcain]

[Bambi watches her go with an "uhhhh" look and as soon as she's of and away to fetch their missing pirate, she blinks and sighs.] Gingers are so demanding.

[Right. Well. Let's do a thing then.]

[heavensend]

[ anastacia, meanwhile, looks a bit chagrined, and offers brantley a quiet apology, hanging back. ] I should have asked, I'm very sorry.

[fixyourproblem]

[Brantley turns his attention to Anastacia, responding to her apologies.] Oh... Don't worry about it. You couldn't have known. It is normal and actually very nice of you to think quick and help people. Besides, I am actually grateful a charming lady like you would help me. [He smiles again without any contempt this time and he even adds a bit of a charm. No one told him not to flirt while in a mission. (Charm 15)]

[silvermaid]

[ nat 20 will save, sorry brantley i guess she just lOVES HER HUSBANDO VERY MUCH, but she is nothing if not polite, and just smiles back obliviously. hooray.

off they go down the harbor, to meet up with thoster, their pirate bro. ] We'll need to keep an eye out for any locals brought our way, and get them onto the boats immediately. If something attacks, it's a priority to keep those people safe.
