04 Wenatchee Night Lands
The experience is new for all of you. While crossing over at the Training Grounds got you used to the eternal twilight of the Nightlands, the change from an endless desert to this strange mockery of Wenatchee is hard to deal with. The building all look like pail imitations of clay or stone lacking the fine details or the real world, the lack of lighting gives everything a black and white look, as if all color and vibrancy was stolen from this world for some past sin.

Raphael waits patiently as they are shunted to the Nightlands. He looks around a bit with his strange blue eyes, and manages to stay perfectly still, so much so that he seems to blend into the local flora and fauna as if he were some statue that just appeared out of nowhere.Raphael, Guardian http://savagerifts.com/sr/viewtopic.php?f=166&t=2711

Notice 7, Stealth 5
Signal crouches low, his hood up and his mask keeping most of the glow of his Morphus contained as he seeks some kind of cover. Manny didn’t come across; Manny had more sense than Signal did.
His head on a swivel, he keeps an eye out for the foes he knows are waiting for them, and he’s inwardly grateful they didn’t cross over exactly where the hounds expected.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Notice 11, Stealth 11
Clatyon readies himself to enter the Nightlands. He whispers, "Godsspeed, friendss." Then, they're there. It was exactly like they had expected - a large group of hounds were waiting for them by where he assumes the van would be in the real world. This is downright unnatural. Ah'd just as soon sunbathe in the mojave at high noon. Its like seein ah ghost town...through the ghost's eyes.
Quickly looking around, Clayton spots the closest cover to shelter in momentarily and motions everyone in that direction. He uses gestures that should come across as: Stay. Here.
Then he flits forward from dark spot to dark spot, cover to cover looking for any sign of Mary.

Before teleporting into the Nightlands, Jack had assumed that there would definitely be more trouble. He prepared for this by already being armored up.
Stealth 13, Notice 3
When the group arrives into the unknown, he immediately contorts himself down into as small of a shape as possible and takes cover behind the nearest rock just barely big enough for him to be behind. Due to how quick he took cover, he didn't really spend any time looking around.Jack "BiOden" Tillmun, Prototype Nightbane
Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Notice 5 and Stealth 11
The Nightlands is just as creepy as Catie had feared. She’s incredibly grateful they listened to the suggestion to move away from the van before heading over as it clearly was a trap. What does this mean for Mary? Is she already dead? Has she been freed after they laid the bait for us? I hate not knowing things. It feels good to have the jump on the hounds, though.- Mel Richter

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
On seeing the Hounds and Hunters splayed out before her, Triessa knows she has seconds to act, at best. She holds her hands out and murmurs an incantation, invoking a Veiling spell. Those sensitive to magical auras and power were witness to her seeming to vanish from their awareness. The effect extended even to mundane perceptions, to some extent. Shadows seemed thicker around her, and she became...dim, after a fashion. The eye slid off of her, as if whatever part of the mind that distinguished between important details and unimportant was filing her firmly in the latter category. Someone alert, or knowing she was there could see her, but it took a little effort to focus.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
As the resistance cell forms up in the nightlands each taking what cover they can they see the world around them is not the passive inactive lands of their training. Although only 1/10th the population of world we know, they cell members see there is still plenty of activity. Some hunters circling above let out a cry as it becomes apparent they must have spotted at least one of you. Looking up you see they are still circling, but none of them are looking at you. Instead their cries are general cries of predators communicating.
As the team begins to gain their bearings Clayton can clearly taste Mary in the air. She not only came through, she was moved away from here alive. Her and Michael had been clear that if any of you were captured alive that they would torture you until they learned all they could, then they would deliver you over to a nightlord to feed him for months before allowing you to die. This must be the fate Mary is looking at. Months or even years of torture as her soul is slowly devoured by a psychic vampire as her mind breaks increasingly into smaller and less sane bits until there is not enough left for her to even be identified as a living beings.
As the groups looks to each other thinking of what actions are needed, suddenly a strange feeling can be felt on your legs. Looking down the members of the resistance cell see strange pail white vines crawling up on their unmoving body, digging into cracks in clothing and armor trying to worm into their skin. Moving suddenly and ripping them free or otherwise destroying them is easy, as you see them retreat back into the ground. But as they break they release a putrid and acrid smell that can only be compared to rotting meat and rancid vinegar. You know that standing still for even the briefest of times will allow the vines again to climb on you and feed on you.
You know that the odor from the vines breaking could easily be smelled from some distance and you will need to move.

Tracking
The idea that Mary is likely being tortured at that very moment brings out Catie’s vengeful and bloodthirsty side. She sniffs deeply, hoping to be able to track their missing friend and demolish those who harmed her. Using smell to track while standing by the disgusting broken vines is anything but pleasant. Man I hope these things aren’t all over the place here. Hopefully once we’re moving it will be a nonissue.- Mel Richter

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Triessa purses her lips as Gravely goes to enhance Clayton's abilities. It burns her a little to admit it, but the guy had a decent idea. Normally she'd use her magic to help herself hunt the target...but it was always easier and more effective to work with skills and talents that already existed. And lets face it, without magic she was pretty useless at following a trail.
She went to Catie, pulling out a little cigar-box from her pocket.
"Hold still for a second."
A little sprinkle of ashes over Catie's face. A pinprick on Triessa's thumb to smear a drop of blood in a little hooked shape on Catie's forehead. All the while invoking the guidance of the Great Star Hunter; what was now called Orion.
Then Triessa nodded to the werecougar.
"Go for it."

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Notice 7
Signal, seeing that he's not much help compared to actual trackers, opts to simply try and extricate himself from the smelly vines. This could be more pleasant, he thinks, stepping carefully and attempting to break as few of the vines as possible. Unconsciously, he also reaches out with his senses for the presence of any electronic devices in the area.

Clayton swats a vine away quickly and regrets the smell instantly. He moves back towards Gravely, avoiding the vines as much as possible. When the agent attempts to use his powers, Clayton cocks an eyebrow at Gravely and whispers quietly, "Ah don't feel anythin' bosss, but It lookss like Catie'ss on the trail."
Clayton turns to follow Catie, tongue flicking out and depositing particles into the sensory organs inside his mouth, checking for the scents Catie is on to.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
As the Cell members pull themselves away from the grasping vines, they retract with an unnatural awareness. Moving from their hiding location the Cell works together as a unit going from one discreet location to another maintaining as much cover as possible.
Meanwhile Catie and Clayton are able to track the path mary was taken on for some distance. The dangerous trip leaving everyone on edge at the risk of being found out until several hundred yards from the scene of crossing over. When the environment changes to one of strangeness as men and women with blank eyed stares walk about doing chores and errands as if mindless.
Among the mindless masses of people there is the occasional man or woman with a fully alert look to their eyes, occasionally directing people. Combined with the awkward twilight lighting and tension of knowing your friend is in need there is no room to relax or destress.
The trail followed leads across the bridge spanning the sandy bed of what should be the Wenatchee river. Looking down in the sand several giant invisible beings can be seen moving underneath the sand, following the movements of your cell as you cross the un-river. Two of the hidden beings appear to even follow into the hardened ground of the city.
Soon you find yourselves standing outside of a medium sized two story structure. The building itself looks on the outside to be an organic imitation of a dark ages castle complete with a draw bridge over the apparently plain dry sand around it. The battlements above are surrounded by only a half dozen hounds and another half dozen men and women armed with modern firearms.
The cell appears not to have been spotted, but such luck could not hold forever.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
”Thanks for the help,” she says to Triessa before they start following the trail Mary’s scent has left.
As she sees more of the Nightlands Catie is torn between curiosity and wanting to get out immediately. Things are so different but in dangerous ways.
”What do you guys think? She hisses once they hit Mary’s location. ”Would we be able to sneak in? I think we could take the guards but there are likely more waiting to ambush us.”

Signal nods. In a whisper, he replies, ”Yeah, stealth seems the way to go. And heads up, team, I can’t sense any electricity in this place at all. No wires for me to ride in or out, and no elecronic devices for me to fritz out. However we do this, it will have to be the old, old fashioned way.”
It’s hard to tell with the mask, but Signal seems a little glum as he says this last part. Stupid, backward world. Who has a whole world without tech?

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Notice 9 __
Gravely looks past Caite and the others and tries to assess another approach. The goons with guns on the front step are a sure sign of trouble.Castles are a pain. Normaly made of stone, there are entrances normally reinforced with steel and the doors are solid wood. Gravely scopes out the entire side of the castle. He notices two things.
One is a skylight and odd thing for the Nightlands but the reflection is clearly seen in the gloomy clouds over head.
The second is something known as the murder gate. A small side entrance at the base of the castle with a heavy iron porticulus. The murder gate heads down a flight of stairs and would have access to the cellar first then ever\ntually the upper floors via stairs.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Unsure about the direct approach the tech maneuvers around the dark center of the city. With guards posted all the way around there does not look to be many openings. To make matters worse Signal notices that there is indeed some technology as he is able to sense radios on the humans around the building.
Sneaking to see what they can the team is able to find that there is an hole in the security though. Simple it may be there is a sewer outlet in the back. The entrance is only 18” diameter making it a tight fit for anyone large. However you each think you can make it through with a little effort. Upon tasting the area of the sewer Clayton can tell that something frequently comes and goes from this point.
Alternately there is a rear loading ramp that appears to see occasional use, currently locked from the inside there is only one Hound watching over it. Ever alert and aware the Hound was almost missed as its eternally vigilant form stood so perfectly still.
As the team scouts around the area and evaluates the options they can suddenly hear a near inhuman scream. It take nearly half a minute before you recognize the voice is that of Mary, strained and broken. The guards on the outside appear unconcerned without so much as a twitch from the hounds or humans either one.

Gravely pats the boy on the shoulder. "For me to fit in there, I would need to either shrink down to half my size of strip all my gear off and crawl Shawshank Redemption style. And I don't have any soap." Gravely thumps the kevalr and reinforced long coat and pulls out his compact rifle on a sling.

Triessa digs her flashlight out of her fannypack and checks the batteries quickly. When surrounded by magic-smelling monsters, it was nice to have a good, old-fashioned light source that ran on 100% free-range Laws of Physics.
"There's a good chance we're going to have to make this fast," she said. "She's probably restrained, maybe behind a locked door. Anyone know how to pick locks?"

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Sliding in through the most unpleasant way possible Clayton is able to make his way into the basement area of the building. While no damage is needed for his tiny reptilian form to emerge, he can see some damage will be needed for the others to come through the 3" wide hole with a small grate over it. However it seems well withing their ability to turns a 3" wide hole into a 2' wide opening if needed.
Getting to the top of the stairs the basement is completely empty of guard having only tortured and unconscious prisoners. The few emaciated prisoners who are awake watch him move buy with cold disinterest, knowing their lives are already over. As he nears the top of the stone stairs leading up he can hear the light snore of a man sleeping on the other side of the door. Looking through the unconscious guard seems unconcerned with the screams filling the building from what sounds like down the hall.
Looking in that direction Clayton can hear the mockery of what sounds like 3 voices, including one very confident voice relaxed in tone with a slight slurring of words as if his mouth was chewing while the torture is happening.

'Ah reckon tha Nightlands ain't so differnt from the real world after all. Shit stinks no matter where yah go,' gravely thinks as he slithers back through the muck, out the hole and back to his friends.
His friends get to watch the filth-encrusted snake morph back into hybrid form. His body elongates and the upper portion thickens. His face grows larger and more humanoid, but it actually isn't that big of a shift. Two arms separate from either side of the torso, and then the show is over.
Clayton tilts his head back towards the sewer entry and says, "Well, tha good newss iss that the goin' iss good. The bad newss iss ain't none of y'all fine folk fittin in the hole I went through. Ah reckon we could make it a mite bit bigger eassily enough, but we'd have to be real careful not to causse too big a ruckuss."
"There'ss three guardss or ssome ssuch outsside the room, and ssomethin' else - but Ah'm not ssure what. Ah think thiss iss a good option if we get in an' get out quicklike," Clayton reports.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
As the two teams split up to go their separate ways. Clayton and Manny heading through the sewer, and the others to the dock they know that alertness and subtly are the strengths that will see them through.
Sliding in through the narrow tunnels Manny and Clayton both know this matters. Once inside having a divided force will help them with options, but being a smaller group they will not have the same options as the rest of the team. Meanwhile as Gravely, Raphael, Triessa, Catie and Jack move into the docks. Both teams being as cautious as possible to not give themselves away.

Catie tries to keep her steps light and breathing quiet as they approach the loading dock. There may only be the one hound there that they know about but that’s never a guarantee. Besides, even one hound can be dangerous. And they’re not used to tracking for no reason- she may be sneaky at times but hounds can spot you when you least expect it.- Mel Richter

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Triessa paused, murmuring a spell over and over as she passed her hands over her forehead, heart, belly, arms...weaving a protective ward around herself. When she was done, she was...different. Easier to overlook, somehow. Muted, she seemed to fade into the background.
"This is dumb," she said softly, tensely, "Lets do it."
Meanwhile, Jack's body twisted and contorted as his weird spikey bio-armor grew out of his skin and engulfed him. Despite that though, he could move surprisingly quietly for a monster. Silent as a nightmare. But then again, maybe that's something any monster had to know how to do...

Reaching forward he grabs Clayton's tail getting his attention to save his life. However the snake unknowing of the cause spun impossibly fast with a strike at the offending grasp. Luckily Signal was fast enough to pull his hand out of the way. showing his strange hand he signals there are 4 or more men waiting above.

Notice 20; -1 Benny
Clayton feels a tug on his tail and his instincts see him striking at Signal's hand, of all things. He gives his rattle one good shake say 'Sorry 'bout that, Sparky.' Then he notices the agents. He thinks he sees a grenade, and then he feels an urgent need to rush forward combined with a will to protect.
Those feelings and desires quickly become his own when he realizes that Signal isn't as sturdy as himself! Clayton shoots out of the hole, and he notices that the foul smell is worse here than ever.
He looks into the corner and sees the monstrous Harvest. Clayton furiously rattles his tail several times as if to tell Signal, 'Danger in the corner!'
Clayton knew trouble when he smelled it. 'That's one tough hombre. We ain't gunna be able to deal with him and his pals. Ah reckon Ah ought tah show Sparky why Ah used tah be called Snakebite.'
Clayton threw caution the wind, praying none of these agents were packing anti-'thrope gear. He quickly snapped at three of the agents, seeking any place he could sink his fangs into.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
As Clayton enters the room something does not feel right. Turning to survey what he can before attacking he looks and hidden against the south wall is a giant 10' monstrosity prepared to kill.
Somehow even knowing, seeing, and tasting it there Clayton has trouble focusing on the thing as if his mind was struggling to hide it from his reality or perhaps to hide from its reality.
Please take you action, in the room are four guards and Harvest.

As the two agents fall to the ground moaning from the pain of the bites gripping their faces their grenades drop to the ground. The Third agent attacked staggers and shakes his head, the bite absorbed by his armor gives him the strength to keep fighting. Lifting his arm he rolls the grenade to the strange serpent as he staggers back. Such insane sacrifice, why would anyone do that? the grenades dropping and hitting the ground explode filling the room with pain and noise. As the room fills with dust visibility is reduced to 0, Harvest can be heard to stumble. but without visibility it is impossible to say where he is.

Signal watches as Clayton slithers off, faster than Signal can follow, and swallows a sigh. The thanks I get for saving that guy... And then, the explosions. Shrapnel fills the air, even on this side of the wall, and cracks Signal square on the jaw. He sees stars for a second before his vision returns, the unnatural hardiness of his Morphus saving him yet again.
He's not built for combat, though, and so he reaches for the one ability he has that he knows can hurt. Sorry, Clayton. This won't exactly tickle, but at least it won't have any permanent impact on you.
With a thought, he fills the small room with electricity, doing his best to burn away anyone that Clayton may have left alive. Hopefully, I took out that creepy thing.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
With a turn of its head as it receives the orders from Gravely a dark and mocking energy can be felt as the hound says nothing. Then moving towards the back door with a sudden and swift spin of it pole arm the door is sliced open followed immediately by a loud shrieking noise, a loud rumble, and vibration so deep and echoing it sinks to the bones of everyone. A large puff of dust and debris breaks free of the strange structure with a cloud of green and blue powder blowing from the edges of the building. The effects lasted only moments when it is all said and done what must have been less than half a dozen seconds the dust clears showing the hound standing next to the open door way staring at Gravely without expression.
Still wrapped in the racking pains of the previous moment Clayton begins to gather his senses from the swimming sea of endless pain when something thrusts through his body with enough force and pain he can explain or comprehend it. Again his mind retreats from the pain dazed, confused and unable to clear.
Clayton
As Signal shakes of the pain and moves to climb up he spies where the dark abomination was earlier and focuses his mind. Suddenly a burst of incredible power reaches out, however instead of being controlled to the limited area Signal planned it jumped through the path of the metal fragments in the room, both floating in the air, and sucked into lungs. The power almost pulled from him as its damage manifests with a crackling pop of joints and the screams of two guards in pain.
CLAYTON, SIGNAL, and TANIA
Tania recovering in her cell is surprised when she hears Squire Danielson order several men to go and drop grenades on the intruder when he returns. Intruder, who could the intruder be? But then she senses another nightbane, now four of them all in one spot. Straining to listen the chains holder her prevent her form getting closer she listens as the explosions come breaking the chains holding her to the wall free enough for them to dangle loose. She was free, starting to move as her body recovers from the pain of being stretched out and the the force of the explosions crushing the breath out of her, suddenly the room is filled with lightning the pain scorches her but does not incapacitate her.Shaking off the pain as if it were nothing Harvest steps forward as its body shifts suddenly into view for the briefest of moments and the giant sickle like arm swings the battle field missing Signal and Clayton by inches. The desperate attack seemed to have taken it toll mentally on the strange being as it steps back into nothingness.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
The room she is in appears sealed except a couple of narrow slits for air, but through those slits she hears the voice of the one who calls himself Squire Danielson ordering an attack on an intruder. She senses another nightbane entering her range, could this be the intruder the squire is speaking about
The chains that hold her, well she thinks she can escape them, but there has not been any point before. The two forms have different bone structures, when she shifts, there has to be some play in the chains unless it magically shifts with her. Actually, the ghoul has thinner lower legs and longer arms with possibly larger hands and wrists. First, in human form, while everyone is distracted, flex the hands, ignore the pain as bones are disjointed and skin scraped...
Whether it would have worked she will never know, as the explosion combines with her force against the shains to break them free of the wall. She is able to escape easily...well once the electricity stops causing her muscles to spasm and she recovers from being hit against the wall by the force of the explosion (which rather knocked the breath out of her). She squirms her arms free then switches to her "Ghoul" form to free her legs. Switching forms also helps with a few of the bruises, contusions, and the side effects of the electricity arcing through her.
Fortunately, breathing is not as vital in Ghoul form, because the air is filled with ozone and dust and smoke. Something big is going on, if she can find the way out of this room.

Moving silently as possible, Gravely takes up a position to the right side of the door and carefully peers into the space beyond.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Cut Scene: Looking up from the explosions Grimm is surprised looking towards the man standing next to him he says. "Squire the nightbane is still alive?"
The voice was empty of feeling or desire at all as the prince began moving towards the door before disappearing from view. "I guess we need to get involved then."
Nodding to himself Grimm smiles, then as he walks towards the door his body crumbles into a swarm of wooden locusts the buzz filling the air they move but to where.
As the hound opens the door and looks it is makes no sound, so Gravely deciding he needs to take a look looks cautiously around the corner. With a burst of dread energy half a dozen hounds burst around the corner leading into the room coming in fast and hard three of them swing their glaives cutting down your pet as he tries to raise his own weapon in defense.

Tania attempts to twist free of her chains, assuming whichever form she needs to in order to get free. She fails to get her hands free, as her wrists do not change size enough, but she does manage to slip out of the leg cuffs. Well, she knows how to fight using a chain as a weapon, it will have to stay on until she finds a way to free herself.Once she is finished trying to free herself (for now), she seeks a way out of the room.

Shocked by the sudden disconnect from his Puppeted Hound, Gravely is caught off guard and the other hounds get the drop on him.
The middle and right hounds managed to coordinate their attacks and initially had the drop on Gravely. By pulling back flat against the wall, Gravely manages to pull out of the way of the attack and pull his slung weapon up and pushing the muzzle of his M4 Carbine into the muzzle of the hound in the right side of the doorway.

The hound coming from the left missed due to reach as he was on the left side of the doorway coming out and Gravely was on the right. Essentially it was a large tangle of arms, hands, spears, and snapping maws. The middle and right hounds managed to coordinate their attacks and initially had the drop on Gravely.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
There were way too many of these things, and while magic could eat through whatever forces kept them together, while she was blowing one apart the rest would be hacking her friends into kibble. So Triessa decided to try to even the odds. The spell was one of the more complicated ones she knew, but it was good against groups.
Hopefully the Nightlands had something like winters.
Triessa held out her right arm, and the handflower wrapped around her palm flashed with energy as she gathered it from the world around her.
"Infriga," she said, and she felt the air ripple. Snowflakes began condensing out of nowhere and Triessa smiled. "Infriga arctis!"
Crackling lines of ice radiated out from Triessa's feet and spidered across the ground to where the Hounds towered over everyone. From the ground under them fingers of frost reached out, climbing up metal feet and ankles and growing over their hides like frosty serpents seeking their throats. In just seconds they were fighting off being virtually encased in ice!

Stupid hounds. The only good hound is a dead one and these ones are on their way. I wonder how many we’ll be able to eliminate during this trip?

LOADING DOCK
As gravely unloads his weapon into the Hound he sees the rounds bounding off the thick metal plating, leaving only scratches and scrapes in their wake. The realization is soon overcome as two of the hounds to his left are suddenly struck with a light so alien to the perpetual twilight of the Nightlands as to be blinding.
With their new holes in their chest of two of the three Hounds they stagger turning to give the Guardian their attention. when somehow ice starts forming on one of the staggered hounds and the one missed by the Guardian, encasing them so completely as to cover more than half their bodies and leave them immobile.
Catie pounces first killing the encased uninjured hound before finally destroying the abomination already struck by Raphael.
The remainder of the hounds on the dock however seem undeterred in their desire to see the cell killed.
BASEMENT
Tania is able to take advantage of her shape-changing ability to relieve herself of the chains and prepare herself for battle. When she feels a tingle in the air as it begins to ionize again, the jolt running through her. Who ever or whatever the hell is doing that is going to kill here it if persist. From within the murk of the filings and dust in the air a moan of pain can be heard, chilling and despair.

Tania, Clayton, and Signal must make a fear check at -2, this is a monstrous ability not a spell so if you fail it becomes a +2 on your d20 roll.
THE DOCK
The Hound already fighting Gravely sees the weakness of his armor and swings to cut off his leg as the three still in the building come pouring out. Lining up they take apart the monstrously size cat destroying the other hounds.
In Basement Attacking Harvest requires a -4 to your roll for his concealment like power, which forces your mind to ignore him.
Harvest Shaken
Harvest slides out of nowhere again flashing into sight just as he attacks only to disappear completely after the damage is done. This time Signal is the threat targeted by the hound.OOC Comments
With a cold certainty something fills the blood of the Cell members in teh basement as they realize there are more threats in the room than Harvest alone. Suddenly Tania hears the voice of her tormentor fill the room. "You must be Mary's children. Surrender and I will let the mortals and the lycanthropes leave alive." Even worse as the voice fills the air Signal and Tania both loose any sense of Grimm as if he left the area.Tania, Clayton, and Signal must make a fear check at -2, this is a monstrous ability not a spell so if you fail it becomes a +2 on your d20 roll.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Eventually Tania manages to slip free if the chains, but keeps one as a weapon...it is possibly not as good as her teeth and claws, but has a bit longer reach. She is seeking the exit to the room...which was concealed...when the surge of electricity bursts into the chamber. Fortunately she is no longer grounded to the wall by the chains, so it does not hit her as hard as the last one. Still, her muscles seize up and she falls to the floor. She hopes there are not too many more of those, she is tough, especially in her Nightbane form, but enough electrical jolts can kill her, well she thinks they can at least.
Then she hears the voice of her tormentor, she does not know what he is saying about Mary's Children, but can feel her hackles rise as he speaks.

Barrier 21
The hounds appear and attack his team mates. Raphael, ever calm, responds by holding his hand up in a "stop" gesture. The hounds are immediately trapped in a thick wall of glowing white light, which spares Gravely from being trapped within. Raphael walks closer to the group, intending to help Gravely if no other adversaries appear.

Clayton feels an irrational fear tug at his mind, and he almost succumbs to it. Then he feels a protective urge again, and he remembers he has Signal right behind him. Clayton shakes it off and tries to get a good read on Harvest's location.Fighting Crit Fail, 7: 9 Damage
Clayton's a crafty fighter, but none of his tricks seem to be working against Harvest. His lunge with the main gauche misses completely, and his grip slips and the dagger goes flying. Celeste strikes Harvest, but it slides across his skin without doing more than leaving a small scratch."Keep it up, Ssparky. Ah thank you're pisssin' him off more'n Ah am," Clayton tells Signal.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Tania growls and gives a giggling cry, the famous 'hyena laugh", she is not going to let this sourceless fear conquer her.
Now that Tania is free and has a chance to look around, she realizes that the wall against which she was chained has been blown inward, it must be what freed the chains. She cautiously climbs up the unstable stone to where the opening is large enough and squeezes through, not sure where it goes but it is probably not anywhere worse than here.

Notice 4
Fighting 16
Damage 24
Signal tires of this dance, and says so. ”This is getting old,” he yells and charges the creature. He doesn’t have far to go, thanks to it having come so close to try and attack Signal... which was a mistake. The electricity flows from him. His eyes crackle, the air turns hot, and flashes of deadly blue and white light dance across his knuckles. With a shout, Manny drives his fist at Harvest and buries his hand up to his forearm in its chest, residual arcs of energy dancing in every direction.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
On seeing Gravely so badly injured...and on realizing she couldn't hit the Hounds with an attack when they were behind the barrier he'd raised, Triessa hurried to his side and held a hand over him.
"Fortius," she said quietly, concentrating. "Fortius..."
Energy poured into Gravely, seeming to come from the earth under him, the air around him. Like drinking a 32oz Big Gulp of Mountain Dew all at once...it did nothing to ease the pain of his injury, but it chased away the cobwebs of shock, jolting him to full awareness again!

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Tania enters the room, but before she can really evaluate the situation she is swarmed by wooden locusts. She realizes, with her Nightbane perceptions, that these locusts are all part of one Nightbane. She has not encountered the talent before, but can feel the presence of a Nightbane spread through them all.
The wooden locusts bite her, no individual bite doing much harm, but by sheer numbers accumulating significant damage, like a swarm of bees.

Triessa sat where she was, eyes wide, breathing hard. The only thing in her head was oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit.
The skin on her hand itched and crawled. When she looked down at it she saw the monstrous black bladed polearm the Hound used had fallen there, inches from where her hand was braced on the ground. The same blade that had almost cleaved straight through her.
What the fuck am I even doing here?! I'm just a human being, not some crazy shapeshifter or light...elf...thing! I could DIE!
She knew that voice, oh yes. She knew it of old. The same voice that, when watching a dark ritual carried out with her parents bound to plinths, had told her to stay back. Stay quiet. Wait for the right moment.
There was still one of these bastards left.
The sorceress rocked over onto her left side a little to free her right hand to swing out and point at the remaining Hound. Magic crackled along her arm down to her fingertip as she shouted, "Fuego!"
From the string of gems wrapped around her arm and hand exploded a burst of flame, yellow and white, turning the air into a shimmering mass of distortion as it lanced towards the towering black metal of its target!

Notice 7, Spirit to Unshake 9
Signal's entire body stings as the weird wooden bug things strike him, filling his mind with white hot hurt. This place sucks. This place sucks so bad.Swatting some of the bugs away, he glares at the newcomers: a swarm Nightbane and a super-creepy ghoul looking one. The swarm is clearly more bad news, he called that thing 'Harvest', and the other seems to be fighting on the same side as the team... but is also standing in the line of fire.
Harvest looks like he's going to run, and Signal can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing, given how hard of a fight this has been...
"Okay, Clayton, clench up! New guy, watch yourself!" Signal yells, gathering lightning in his fist and thrusting it forward, once again filling the air with arcing electricity.

Catie brushes off the damage the hounds had done to her and is grateful to be part of a team that was able to take care of them while she was distracted and hurt. ”Thank you,” she says to Raphael, Triessa, and Gravely. ”Sorry I zoned out there for a minute. Should we go in before more come out?”
She heads towards the door, hoping to find Mary before anyone can be more seriously hurt.

To make matters worse as the tempo in the room calms suddenly Harvest cannot be sensed as if he has again been removed from perception. OOC Comments
As the dock team runs into the building the hall is empty with no sign of danger anywhere as a strange feeling begins to settle down over the cell of would be rescuers.

The aggravated and frustrated voice of the your previous attacker can be heard responding just as clearly. "No, I will not be chased from my house by mear mortals and lycanthropes. They will pay for their trespass."
The whispering thousands return saying. "They have brethren with them and my assignment was simply to keep you alive." Then just as suddenly as the swelling and shifting walls arrived they are gone revealing half a dozen hounds moving in to perfect positions ready to under the cover of the illusions.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Tania suddenly finds herself deprives of enemies, which seems strange since Grimm was on the verge of overwhelming her. Why would he flee? He should have knocked them out and then taken them prisoner...unless something called him away or there is another threat he is aware of and considers more important. Those are the only two reasons she can think of, and given she has met his master (even if she knows nothing about him) she is betting on the former.
Grimm was up higher somewhere before he vanished, if his master called him, that must have been where he was called to. Possibly a clue to where they went can be called there.

Our equipment, we need a serious retrofit.
As he is literally the first man in the room to experience the world turning and unraveling. Gravely finds a point among the hounds and releases his Silent Attack once more.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Catie lashes out at the hound that was unaffected by Gravely, striking twice with her claws and gnashing her teeth in fury before taking a bite at it as well. Hounds in general make her angry but these in particular are making her see red. Being attacked over and over again on this one incredibly long day is pissing her off. Sure they chose to go to their home but that was only after Mary was taken! How’s a gal supposed to control her blood lust when there’s no break from fighting and killing?

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Seeing so many Hounds weakened by Gravely tells Triessa this is the time to try something different. A big fireblast would almost certainly take one of these things out, but there's too many...and her friends have taken too much hurt to risk more getting through. Go big or go home, right?
She closed her eyes, gathering her will, and held her hands out, fingers wide and outstretched. Her eyes opened, and she said, "Fulminos!"
Electricity curled up her arms, around her fingers, and arced out in dancing jabs of blue light towards the reeling Hounds! As quickly as it jumped to the nearest one, it lanced out at another, then ANOTHER, before the charge was finally insufficient to arc to a fourth.

The Cell is easily able to dispatch the last two hounds as the look around to take stock of the situation they can see the door open about 10 meters down the hall as those who went through the basement come up to the top floor. An unsettling moaning can be heard as the door opens and the voices of those held or tortured in the basement can be heard.The battle has concluded, and the Resistance Cell is alive, but something does not feel right. The way they left felt to abrupt and the suspicion they will be returning with a full hoard of hounds won't go away.
Edit: You are all gathered together at the doorway exiting the stairs from the basement. This is a great time for some RP to include tania in your escape. Clayton can point where he scouted earlier, and the three Nightbane can all point right to where Mary is.
, and of course update your signatures!

BIOden gets down on his haunches sniffing the air. He flicks his razor sharp talons, droplets of black blood from the hound falling off of them. He points and then whispers in a gravely voice "She's there. Mary." He slowly stalks in that direction, waiting for the rest of the group to follow him.
