[likedillinger]

♬ monster - imagine dragons

WHO || Alainn O'Rourke, Sydney Bristow, Felicity Braddock, Jameson Bennett, Dean Winchester, Rose Hathaway, Will Graham
WHAT || Two teams of Knights are tasked to find the source of Sarandis' control over Kat Samcelot and stop Kyp and Elena Gilbert from interfering with the Knights' plans
WHERE || Andres Isle
WHEN || September 19th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam

[ Two groups stow away on a barge bringing imports onto Andres, aided with invisibility and silence spells.  The members of both groups sneak away from the docks, to congregate between warehouse buildings.  Dean checks his weapon in the dim light, glancing down towards the mouth of the narrow alley, and then glancing back at the other group. ]

Castle can't be more than a half mile.   Odds are that's where Elena's headed too - that or the prison in the woods.  Depends on what they're here for.

[Rose bobs her head, listening to Dean's assessment.] Wwe should probably go one at a time. Keep a little distance between each other just to be safe. [Voice low.

Easier hiding one person behind a pillar as opposed to three and if one gets caught they don't all get caught... Not that anyone here was likely to let that stand. (Wis 18).]

[mydesigns]

[will nods in agreement — no better plan up his sleeve at the mo.]

[likedillinger]

Yeah. Fine. So who's first?

[littledhampir]

[Rose just gives Dean a look like, You really need to ask before edging in to take the first run.

Opening the door a crack, she checks to see if the coast is clear (Lis 31, Spot 33) annnd if it is, will move as quickly as quietly as she can to the first pillar. (Move Silently 12 AP says 23).]

[likedillinger]

[ rose makes it quietly across the floor, seeing only the retreating guards' backs as she hears them move into a doorway and up a staircase further down.

dean goes next with a move silently of 18, nodding to rose as he approaches for her to move to the next one (no need to reroll) ]

[mydesigns]

[move silently nat 20. will is apparently fucking snow falling on cedars over here as he goes last.]

[littledhampir]

[And this is going to be how they roll pretty much until Arden prompts us for another check cause you can't really talk hiding behind separate pillars and damned if I know how to even begin writing out baseball style hand signals.]

[likedillinger]

[ a 15 listen check is enough to pick up the footsteps coming from another room, approaching the hall. dean curses under his breath and waves them into another darkened room about halfway down the large hall, ducking in there swiftly. ]

[mydesigns]

[will catches the footsteps (listen 18) and goes ducking into the room after dean. and definitely not any other words with ucking in them.]

[littledhampir]

[Spending another action point because hahahah crit fail. With a listen check of 18, Rose picks up on what Dean does and follows him and Will. No yaois for you.

Lemme also, throw in a spot check for this room they find themselves in while we're at it. (Spot 25).]]

[likedillinger]

[ they hold still while the other guards or whoever walk by, and a glance around reveals they're in some sort of fancy drawing room, a piano in one corner and a fancy davinci painting on the wall. another door leads out of here on either side, as well as the one back into the hall, and there are large windows that look outside on the opposite wall. various fancy chairs dot the space, which is arranged for 'casual' conversation.

after the coast is clear, dean lets out the breath he was holding and shakes his head. ] We just gonna keep hopping from place to place until what? We see someone wearin' that guard's face? [ plz make wisdom checks also ]

[mydesigns]

It seems inefficient, but I don't have anything better. [wis 15]

[littledhampir]

Maybe if we had any idea what the hell they were doing here we'd know where to look... [Wisdom 7 Brooke just spends all the saved up Action Points. 20 total.

And she's eyeing that door thinking something other than a corridor might be a plan.]

[likedillinger]

Depends. Going for Sarandis. Going for Bancroft. [ betraying everybody... ] If they're disguised as guards, they might be trying to get close to others, so they can scan their thoughts. Avoiding everyone we hear coming might be the last thing we should be doing.

[ rose gets a weird feeling crawling up her neck as they talk, the distinct feeling of being watched by a sinister, unpleasant presence. ]

[littledhampir]

[Yep and Rose has somewhere along the way, stopped listening to anything Dean is saying as she looks around the room (Spot 28), clearly distracted.

With her whole body tensed, she slowly steps away from the door and reaches for the stake at her hip and if anyone so much as tries to talk right now, she's probably gonna 'SHH' them quick smart as she tries to listen for somebody else in the room (Lis. Crit Fail AP says 26).]

[mydesigns]

[will was about to reply to dean, but now the world will never know what he was going to say because he listens to rose's shushing. and then listens for himself. (listen 27)]

[likedillinger]

[ dean's listen check sucks ok i'm not even gonna spell that one out. but rose and will both hear a strange wind blowing through the room, that lifts the curtains a bit, even though the window doesn't appear to be open. and both of them would swear they hear strange whispering with that breeze, a mournful sound almost like someone crying. ] What?

What is it? [ he pulls up his gun, glancing around ]

[mydesigns]

Sounds like ... someone crying. [he frowns like werwatey and is going to ... draw his gun too. just to be safe ok.]

[littledhampir]

[Rose shakes her head, nothing useful to add as her gaze falls on the door again, the one she'd spotted when they came into the room and while somebody should probably tackle her ass to keep her from doing this, Rose isn't that smart (Wis 9) and she continues her slow cross of the room, a hand closing around the door handle and testing it to see if it will open.]

[likedillinger]

[ as she goes to open the door--

something comes through it, passing right through her body as well, a wispy translucent figure in the shape of a woman that wails as it glides across the room. as it passes through her, she feels excruciating pain as her body fights against the cold, icy drain of its touch (dmg 28, fort save dc 18 to half it). what's more, rose's face seems to almost shift as it moves through her, as the ghost actually ages her with its touch. effectively seven years if she doesn't make the save - 3 years if she does, as she literally feels it suck some of the life out of her.

dean fails his wisdom check to remember they're trying to be fucking quiet and: ] Rose! [ falls from his lips, even as he lowers the gun and yanks out a machete from his belt.

time for init~ ]

[mydesigns]

[WERWATEY????????? will nat 20'd his arcane lore check so he is legit ghostbusters over here. good thing he already had his excalibur out and ready for action bc it is the only thing he has that will help him in this situation.]

[littledhampir]

[A scream becomes trapped in Rose's throat (WS 24), eyes wide with shock and her features twist in agony as the stake in her hand threatens to fall to the floor.

It's Dean's voice that breaks through the pain, prompting her to breathe again, ,to steady herself (Fort Save 25 - So. 14dmg + 3yrs) and she looks back over her shoulder at the other two and readjusts her grip on her stake, readying to attack.]

[likedillinger]

[ the ghost stops to face them and throws its head back, unleashing a frightful moan. everyone must make a will save dc 18 or become panicked for 7 rounds. dean barely making his save slips the gun into a holster as he leaps forward between rose and the ghost, swinging the blade through it (power atk 20, dmg 14). the ghost touch weapon tears right through the spectre, clearly harming it. ]

[littledhampir]

[Three action points later... (WS 19) Dean if you think she's going to be smart enough to sit this one out, you're underestimating the stupidity of Rose, the Dhampir moving around Dean to attempt to slash the spirit with her stake. (Atk 31: DMG 18. Atk 26: DMG 18. +3 DMG if either hits land.).]

[mydesigns]

[will makin you all look bad with his nerves of steel over here (will save 29) maybe faye isn't the only one with a cyborg nervous system. or maybe he just dreams of fucked up shit like this all the time ... the world will never know.

anyway, he tries to take a shot at the ghost while avoiding his teammates in melee ... imagine how that goes. (atk 15; 15 dmg if that hits somehow....) and also he will tell them (or more specifically, rose with her stake wtf)] It's only hurt by magic weapons!
