Hugues' fire bolt roasts the Capra demon so badly that his horns crack in the heat, as it bellows in pain and fury. It is unlikely that the creature expected the fire bolt from the tiny human, or maybe he was too lazy to have dodged, but Hugues has his Full Attention now. So I stat up my shiny new demon and he proceeds to roll Athletics: ---- +3 = -1. Takes 6th + Severe on the first turn, (and that's catched!) I think it hates you Krysm. I think it hates you forever. pre:Capra Demon Catch: Magical Fire Athletics 3, Weapons 4 (weapon: 4) Hulking Size, Inhuman Str/Tough Physical: ()()()()()(X) + ()() Armor:1 Mild -2: Moderate -4: Severe -6: Fire-Cracked Horns

Hugues Turner Fate Points: 0 Really? The thing didn't even try to dodge? And oh poo poo it's coming right towards him! (//// +4 = 4. An average roll isn't enough to avoid 4 stress, so I'll tag the Horns for a +2.) Even though the thing telegraphed it's moves like crazy, that swing came too close for comfort.

The enraged Capra swings his axe like the giant hunk of steel that it is, right at the puny human child who dared to injure it so. But its mangled horns catch against the ceiling, throwing off its aim. Hugues manages to fling himself out of the way as the axe cracks the concrete with a thundering boom. -- Warden Cole FP:1 "Fire? Got it." Cole throws his hand forward like he's pitching a baseball. "Umlilo!" A glowing fire orb lobs through the air in an arc, splattering against the Capra's chest in a burst of flame. It roars again, and the burned fur smell is starting to overpower the sulfur. Cole tosses a fiyahball. 5 shifts, Disc: /-+/ +5, so 5 w:5 catch'd.

Jenny Hirsch FP: 4->3 Jenny yawns, grumbling a little as she glares at the mirror the demon vanished into. "Come on, we've got to get to Alyssa's room. I don't want to think about what the demon might do to her, and it'll mean we can draw her out if nothing else." Jenny moves into the living room, heading for the stairs she saw in Steven's memory, before pausing a moment to snag a heavy-looking fireplace poker and experimentally twirl it around. Satisfied with the heft, Jenny moves upstairs and to the door of Alyssa's room, trying the handle with her free hand while the other takes a quick look around. Declaring "Convenient Fireplace Poker"

Jenny Hirsch FP: 3 Jenny leans in to the door. "Alyssa? I'm not that... that. You talked to an associate of mine earlier, Ada duSang. I'm here to get you out of here. Open the door, please." Steven adds a friendly bark. There's sounds of movement and the click of a door unlocking. The girl opens it just a crack. "Who are you? What are you doing here? She'll know!" "I'm Jenny Hirsch. I'm... uhm." Jenny concentrates for a moment and gently levitates the crowbar. "I'm like Ada, and like you. And I'm a friend, and I'm here to get you out of this place." "And yes, I know that she'll know. We've met." Jenny furrows her brow. "We'll deal with... it." Alyssa doesn't answer for a minute. "Hurry. Daddy will be home soon. I'll get my things." An arm shoots out of the door, dragging the dog in by the collar. "There's no mirrors for her in here, I got rid of them a long time ago. I'll be ready when it's safe." Jenny pauses, looking at the closed door. So... who was Steven, then? In which an awful truth is revealed. Athletics ++-/ +2 = 3 to reach her room, Rapport //++ +5 = 7 to talk to Alyssa.

Ada duSang - FP: 1 -> Between Hugues' gauntlets and Cole's magic, it looked like the demon would soon go down...but 'down' didn't mean 'out'. Grimacing, Ada reached for her knife. She really, really wished she was better at handling fire... ...And then her hand stopped, as she recalled Mel's words back at the church and remembered the pain of the burns. Slowly, Ada lowered her hand. "Not now. Not in this place. It's too dangerous." Repressing her frustration, Ada raised her hand. As she did so, she heard metal tinkle. "That's the way." Reaching deep inside, Ada looked for things to use against the demon. Her frustration at not being able to cut loose against it provided an initial supply of energy. Her disgust for the horror of the dungeon then did the rest. Extending a hand, Ada concentrated and exclaimed, "Gisofania!". At once, the still air of the dungeon quickened, surrounding the Caprapigros and pressing down on him, fanning the flames eating the burning fur...but it wasn't as easy as it should have been. For some reason, it felt like the very air was fighting Ada, refusing to bend to her will. "Dammit. What the hell is going on?" She muttered, as she struggled to control it. Foxxbot returns and brings terrible rolls with him. Ada's attempt to manipulate the air backfires with a roll of +2 instead of +4...and then another +2 after rerolling. She can't even move with Athletics because she gets a 0.

Jenny Hirsch FP: 3 Jenny steps out onto the balcony, turning towards the bathroom in time to see Alyssa's mother step out of the mirror and turn towards her. Jenny waves her left hand, the other adjusting her grip on the fireplace poker resting on her shoulder. "It's a lovely home you have here! Very well kept." The poker had been part of this house for a long, long time. It remembered the wood, the support beams holding the house in place. It was kin to the iron and steel securing the pipes in the bathroom, moving heat and air and water through the house. With the poker as a focus... Pipes explode out from the wall as the wood warps inwards, bringing down the wall on top of the hapless thing wearing Alyssa's mother's body. "You may need to remodel the bathroom, though." Taking a supplemental to move onto the balcony. Summoning 6 shifts of power with ++// +7 -1 = 8 to control, as well as tagging the poker for a total of 10 with W:6.

From the wreckage of the former bathroom, a hand pokes up in true zombie fashion, clawing at the air. Then the rubble shifts as the body heaves clear of it. The corpse of the woman Alyssa once called Mother is in awful shape. The limbs hang limp and bones protrude through skin. There's no blood or gore, and Jenny can see why right away. The creature wearing the corpse stares at her with an insect's multifaceted eyes, its yellow carapace half revealed through the torn skin. Mandibles protrude from the broken jaw, and it chitters angrily. There's a squishy wet sound and the body splits down the back and sloughs off of the thing, leaving behind a demonic wasp the size of a child. Wings extend from behind the back, but the thing does not lift off when it buzzes them. It looks half squashed already. The antennaes are broken and bent, one leg doesn't have a match on the opposite side, and it's completely unable to fly. But the stinger is the size of a combat knife and the creature looks as fast as is it enraged. It is exactly at this moment when there is a noise at the front door as someone turns a key in the lock and walks in. "Honey, I'm home!" a man calls cheerfully. Mother Wasp defending: Athletics +-/- +3 =2. Taking 16 damage, -2 armor from shooting through the wall, leaves her with 2nd and all consequences filled. All hail Jenny the Crusher. pre:Mother Wasp Athletics 3, Weapons 4 ()(X)() Mild 2: Missing Leg Moderate 4: Broken Antennae Severe 6: De-Winged Warden Cole FP:1 With the Capra out of the way, Cole turns his attention to the Hellhound. It hasn't quite gotten loose yet, and if he has his way it never will. "I can trap it if you three can whip up something more permanent." he says, approaching the cage. The dog snaps but the Warden doesn't flinch, instead drawing the water out of the steamy sulfurous air and freezing it solid between the bars. "Iqhwa!" he commands. Cole puts up a block on the cage door, 6 shifts: /-++ = 7, so it works. Dog rolls a might: -/-/ +4 = 2, so it's stuck while you all ward the crap out of it. mistaya fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Sep 26, 2012 |

Elbridge Hardley - FP: 2 "Quick!" Elbridge shouts, "We need to put a warding on that cage!" With no time to spare, he withdraws a piece of chalk from his shirt pocket and traces a circle around the cage. Thinking quickly, Turner snatches up a stray hair on the ground near the kennel and places it in an adjoining chalk symbol on the edge of the circle. Ada pricks her thumb with her knife and anoints a hastily-scrawled verse with a single drop of her own blood. All four practitioners weave their magics together, turning the ring of chalk into an impenetrable barrier in what might well be a world record for "fastest thaumaturgy under duress." Ada rolls Disc to add a tag: +/++ +4 = 5. Aspect added: "Bloody Hail Mary". Hugues does the same with Lore: -+-- +5 = 3. Aspect added: "Hair of the Dog". Elbridge channels 4 shifts: Disc +-/- +5 = 4.

Ada duSang - FP: 0 Working on the ward was handy in more ways than one. Collaborating with everybody else on the ward helped Ada focus and handle the dungeon's atmosphere better than before. After the ward was in place, Ada turned her attention to their next move. "That wasn't all of them, right? There's still two rooms we haven't checked yet. We should take a look and see if we can find what we came here for." Between her failure to pin down the pig demon and the grimness of the dungeon's purpose, Ada felt rather unnerved at the moment. She didn't want to spend any more time than the strictly necessary in that place if she could help it. Transient People fucked around with this message at 08:29 on Sep 27, 2012 |

NOTE: Group Hellmouth is out of combat for now and can go in any order. Warden Cole "That'll hold it until we're gone." Cole said, wiping the sweat out of his eyes. The hellhound threw itself at the bars and glared furiously through mad red eyes but it was done, and it didn't take it long to realize that. It settled, pawns crossed under its chin. Only a low growl came from the cage now. "We should hurry before something else shows up." -- The Mother Wasp demon lunges for Jenny's ankles with her stinger, but she's too badly injured to make much of an attempt. Mother Wasp attacks! weapons: -/-/ +4 = 2, tagging Jenny's Drowsy for 4.

It has spines and thorns all over it's carapace, and its wings buzz furiously as it flies just high enough to keep itself at eye level. The stinger drips clear liquid onto the floor. It hisses as it burns the tile. Quick as that, it dives for the cowboy, stinger first. Daddy Wasp has joined the party!

Elbridge Hardley - FP: 2 The warding finished, Elbridge wipes the sweat from his brow and does a quick check of both rooms in the west hallway. The demon's room contains a card table with a half-finished game of solitaire, an open family-size bag of Cheetohs, and an empty fifth of rotgut, but nothing else of interest. Satisfied that there are no more traps in the immediate vicinity, he goes to inspect the man strapped to the chair. A strip of duct tape seals the man's mouth shut; Elbridge carefully removes it. "Please...no more...just...just kill me now..." The man is hysterical and barely coherent. Elbridge suspects he may have been the victim of a Skavis vampire's feeding, but he can't be sure. "Don't worry," he reassures the man, "it's alr- well, no, it's rather far from alright, but we are here to rescue you." Investigate to check for anything else of interest: +/-+ +4 = 5.

Seems like you got the lovely end of the deal when Mel sold you out." Jenny raises her right arm, sighting focusing in her power and leveling the outstretched hand at the demon's torso. "See you in hell, bitch. I don't leave these jobs half-done, and I'll be coming for you real soon." The blast of power pulverizes the creature's body, crunching it together and forcing ichor out everywhere as Jenny moves down the steps.

Hugues can see the front of a cell block to his left but he's more interested in the door and creaks it open. Inside there is only a dim orange glow emanating from the long straight ramp leading down that takes up most of the room. Testing the air with his magical senses, Hugues can tell that the veil is very thin in the remainder of the room. This place is used as a gate, constantly. Given the nature of the residents, and the fact that Mr. Capra's size wouldn't have let him up that spiral staircase, there's only one place it's likely to connect to. --- The prisoner gasps a breath and stops gibbering long enough to give Elbridge a sullen glare when he mentions a rescue. "Stop LYING and kill me already! How stupid do you think I am?! You win, just finish it! I don't want to play anymore!"

Before he bothers to say anything, the Warden shoves his head out the door so he can see the dead Capra and the warded Hound. "Look, we're not lying. What's going on here?" The man's eyes dart back and forth, as if he doesn't quite believe it. "I... I don't know. I got grabbed off the street by some guy.

The demon is as agile as JR, and nearly dodges the bullet entirely, losing a single spikey spine from it's back. It does not appear to be bothered.

Jenny Hirsch FP: 3 Jenny winces as the creature's stinger nicks JR's skin. Given the demon's coloration she hoped it wasn't poisonous, but if it was anything like the natural world it probably was. "Hey, moron! It wasn't the cowboy who killed your wife." Jenny raises the fireplace poker in her right hand, the tip still coated with green ichor from demon's corpse. "It was me. Bavegn!" The poker flies straight and true, hurtling towards the demon as it twists itself to face the new presence. "And you're about to see that process in action." Summoning MAXMIMUM POWER of 7 shifts. Discipline +-+/ +7 = 8 with W:7. pre:Defenses: Athletics +2, Shield Ring (+4) Applicable Aspects: Apprentice to..., Ingenue's Intercession, "Inhuman Means Subhuman" Physical: ( ) ( ) ( ) Mental: (X) ( ) (X) (X) Social: ( ) ( ) ( ) Any Mild (-2) Consequence: ( ) Any Moderate (-4) Consequence: ( ) Any Major (-6) Consequence: ( ) Any Extreme (-8) Consequence: ( ) Used:

Jenny's poker lodges in the joint between the upper body and the thorax. The wasp wobbles in the air and falls aside just as JR shoots it in the chest. The chitinous armor holds, however. "You're right, Crusher Jenny." The meat suit's voice croaks. "I will drag your body down to the Pit. My mate will feast on your blood and regain her strength." The giant wasp flies up and closes with Jenny, intent on poisoning her too. Daddy Wasp dodges Jenny, Athletics: ++-/ +4 = 5. Takes nine, spending a FP on Vespar Demon Speed to reduce it to 7. 5th and a mild. Dodges JR: ++/- +4 = 5, takes 6th. Turns on Jenny! BZZ BZZ POISON: -/++ +4 = 5. pre:Daddy Wasp Catch: ???

Jenny Hirsch FP: 3->2 Jenny steps back, ducking under the wasp's furious sting as it thunks into the wall above her. "Yeah, yeah, you're going to suck out my marrow and grind my bones. I've heard it before." Jenny pivots rapidly, barely dodging another blow from the creature as a mandible comes slicing through the air. "But Crusher Jenny? I haven't heard that one before." Jenny digs her heel in, pushing her body forward into a roll and coming up in a crouch at the creature's feet. The blast of force lifts the creature up off his feet, throwing him into the ornate chandelier suspended above the living room. "But I think I like it. Tell your friends! But make sure to tell them fast, because I'm coming for you down there. The darkest pits of hell are not a safe refuge for you, demon." Athletics /+++ +2 = 5, and I'm invoking on "You Killed My Wife!" to dodge and taunt at the same time. Discipline ++++- +7 = 9 with W:5, filling in my last mental box. pre:Defenses: Athletics +2, Shield Ring (+4) Applicable Aspects: Apprentice to..., Ingenue's Intercession, "Inhuman Means Subhuman" Physical: ( ) ( ) ( ) Mental: (X) (X) (X) (X) Social: ( ) ( ) ( ) Any Mild (-2) Consequence: ( ) Any Moderate (-4) Consequence: ( ) Any Major (-6) Consequence: ( ) Any Extreme (-8) Consequence: ( ) Used:

Elbridge Hardley - FP: 2 "No, there's been no attack on Florida, and for the sake of getting this out of the way, the people who've been holding you are vampires, the things on the floor and in the cage are demons, and we're wizards." Elbridge snaps his fingers, and the light bulb overhead dims as the incandescence flies from inside it to float above the palm of his hand. "No, really." Another snap, and the light flies back into its bulb, now flickering noticeably from the hexing of even this trivial magic. El clears his throat. "Under the circumstances, I'm afraid there's no time for pleasantries. There are other prisoners here, and we need to get all of you to safety. While we're doing that, we'll need to hear everything you've seen and heard since your abduction - everything. Your captors are planning to destroy this city, and the tiniest detail could be crucial to stopping them." Investigate -/+- +4 = 3 to pick out the useful intel from chairguy's infodump.

The man shook his head back and forth, clearly unable to process much right now. But he did answer Elbridge, a little slow at first but soon the words were tumbling out like he just wanted them out of his head. His name was Paul and he was a tourist from Miami. He'd been walking home from a bar at night when someone had thrown bag over his head. It smelled funny. He'd woken up in a cell with other people, and didn't know how long he'd been out. Some of them had been tortured. Some of them were vegetables. No one would talk to him. A monster brought food and water, and sometimes it took people away. It never brought them back. One day it took him. Brought him to this room, where a scrawny blonde man in a suit had tied him to the chair. He said he was CIA, that Miami was nuked. WWIII was going on outside and it was all his fault somehow. Crazy things, lies that no one would ever believe. And eventually the monster took him back to the cell. He was tied up and questioned again a little while later, and Paul couldn't see any reason for the man to be lying, so he started to believe. But he still denied the accusation that he had anything to do with it. After the fourth or fifth questioning, thinking of his family dead and the world in ruins broke him. He was convinced it had really happened and it must be his fault because the man said so. That time, when he broke down and believed, the man had said that Paul was free to go. He tried to leave, made it all the way up the stairs and out onto the street, but then the bag got him again, and he woke up tied to the chair again. "Lies, all lies." Paul finished. "Everything he said was a lie, I know it." he slumped back against Cole, exhausted. Cole looked at Ada and Elbridge, and Hugues as he came back into the room. "Remember the poem." The Warden said softly. "This is how she tricked the ritual. It makes sense now." In which a clue from 7 months ago finally makes sense!

Hugues Turner Fate Points: 0 This gate could not be allowed to stay open, but Hugues wasn't able to do that with his current power. At the very least he needed to put something up in case something decided to do come through at the worst possible time. (Thaumaturging a quick 2-shift Wardflame, Disciplne rolls: +--++4 = 4 --+++4 = 4) With the paper thin magical barrier established, Hugues made his way back to the rest of the group just in time to catch the prisoner telling his story. "Not to break the moment, but they got a gateway to Fire and Brimstone in another room on the floor. Nothing's going through, but it probably needs to go down."

J.R. - FP: 1 JR can feel the poison slowing him down, but he's not about to give up. As Jenny blasts the demon into the chandelier, JR puts another round into it as it falls towards the floor while it was still stunned. Of course, he still focuses on the most important thing. "How come I ain't got a fancy name, anyways?" Endurance +-/+ +3 = 4. Guns -/// +5 = 4, tag the consequence to make it 6, burn my last FP on No sympathy for the devil to make it 8, with a weapon 3 that ignores armor. pre:Defenses: Athletics (Dodge) +5, Armor:1 (one use) Applicable Aspects: The Last Gunfighter Ballad, The Devil's Right Hand, The Man Comes Around Applicable Stunts: Shoot 'Em Where It Hurts: Ignore armor 2 or less Physical: () () (x) () Mental: () () () () Social: () () () () Any Mild (-2) Consequence: (), Any Moderate (-4) Consequence: () Any Major (-6) Consequence: (), Any Extreme (-8) Consequence: ()
