04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Raphael carefully assesses his teammates, attempting to discern whether any of them need healing. When he's satisfied that they all seem healthy enough to move along, he follows BIOden without a word.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
As the team approaches the door they believe Mary is behind there are no signs of alarm or even the abnormal. Other than the weeping and moans coming from the prisoners through the still open basement door there are no sounds to hear or odors to smell coming from the door or whoever is on the other side.

Clayton reaches up to tip his hat, forgetting he's currently a snake, then drops his hand and tells Tania, "Howdy there. Ah'm Clayton. Thiss one goes by Ssignal. We're here to resscue one of our own, but you're welcome to come with uss."
The grifter leads Signal up and towards where Mary should be when they meet up with the others.
"Y'all wouldn't believe how downright nassty it got down there, and ah ain't talkin 'bout tha ssewer. Ah reckon we oughta retrieve Mary and get out while the gettin' iss good. Sshe sshould be jusst ahead," Clayton says with a nod of his head towards the door.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Triessa goes to the door, then pauses on the macabre soundtrack. With a glance at the others she says, "Alright, be ready. No telling if there's trouble waiting inside, but it doesn't exactly sound encouraging."
When the team looked prepared, she pushed the door to the 'prison' open...

Tania nods in grim agreement, "I am Tania, and I have to agree Clayton, this place is nasty. I am not sure why they let us go, but it can not be any good reason. Let us find your Mary and get gone while we can."
If they have been torturing Mary they way they did her, than she might not be in very good condition by now.

Notice 11, Smarts to Listen In On Any Encrypted Signal 4
Signal emerges from the basement with Clayton and Tania and gives the rest of the team a nod. ”We ran into some trouble going in the back way. How’d you guys manage?” Oh, this is Tania, by the way. She looks creepy as all get out, but we found her down in a torture cell and she helped us fight a sentient bug swarm. That’s a real thing.” Once they reach the door, he reaches out with his senses for any trace of electronics, either on the door or behind it. He also listens in on any radio or other chatter he can pick up (even if it’s encrypted) and feels around with his mind for any outlets, power or other lines he can jump into.
Before they move on, he shrinks himself down to present a smaller target, just in case.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
As the door opens Mary can be seen strapped to the wall with chains that appear to be made of pure Talent. It is obvious from the look of the room that she was not alone as in two other locations corpses of young women of like build can be found likewise bound to the walls.
Strangely there are no implements of torture in the room, only smooth stone walls and smooth stone furniture. All three women look to have no injuries, yet somehow two of them have died already and Mary looks like she will join them soon.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Triessa glances at Tania and for a moment purses her lips. It wasn't impossible that she was a plant. It'd take time and observation to confirm though. For the moment...
"Tania huh? Alright unless you know how to undo these chain things you may want to stand back a little."
She held up her left hand and snapped her fingers sharply. "Disperdorius." There was a subtle flash of pale lavender that radiated out from her hand in a rapidly expanding circle.
The chains crackled with dark energy, writhing as if alive...and then shattered with a sound like muffled breaking glass. Despite Triessa's warning, there was no shrapnel or other dangerous explosion. Each link broke apart, and they dissolved into black smoke and dissipated before even hitting the floor.
The sorceress nodded with some satisfaction, then looked around.
"Don't think I don't know you're watching," she muttered irritably.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Tania stands out of the way and lets the wiz do her thing. The Chains are broken or banished or whatever with minimal fuss. The question is, what next? Tania will have to let the others take the lead, as she does not know he way around here (actually, she is not 100% clear on where here is even).

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Tania looks over at "Raph" with a slight snarl on her Hyena-like features. What is that? It is not a Nightbane, she can tell that much.
Her ears perk up at the mention that Raph is a healer, that could be a useful. Granted she heals pretty fast, but faster healing is never something to complain about.
She comments, "I am pretty strong, I could help carry."
It is a bit grudging, she does not want to be tied down again after being tied up all day. If they ask her to help carry, she is going to make sure her back is being guarded, though it may upset someone.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
As the Cell heads for the exit they stop occasionally to scout for and sense danger, but no threats are seen. Getting to the exit they see only the corpses of the hounds they killed. The whole thing feels odd, they are easily able to avoid hounds as they make their way to the limits of the city and find an apparently safe hiding place at the edges of the city.
The whole time they still feel they are being watched. The sensation enough to steal the sense of victory from them as they make their way through the town. During the journey Mary stirs a few times but does not wake, simply too exhausted from whatever ordeal she went through. Her some human form at incredible risk in this environment.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Actually, Tania is pretty new at all this. Sure she knows how to change forms and a lot of what she can do, including her talents, but she is pretty ignorant about Nightbane in general. (I am not even sure she actually knows about Mirrorwalking IC.)
Because of her general state of ignorance, she obviously can not answer the question of others following. The idea of possibly being caught again makes her nervous.

"It depends," Triessa says shortly. "But it may not be someone following. Scrying or remote vision can feel creepy like that too. Truth is, I don't care. I'd rather face this on our side of the mirror regardless. They're holding too many cards here."
She scrubs her face with her fingers.
"Alright, lets see how this works."
Triessa takes her glasses off and passes her hand over them, murmuring, "Inveniet verum..." Then she set them back on her nose and peered around.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
After adjusting her eyes and casting her spell Triessa scans her view around and up. But it is as her vision turns down towards the ground that she realizes what is happening. Something, an awareness of sorts is watching you through the earth scattered about on the ground like leaves. Once it is aware of you perceiving it the awareness burrows down into the ground and you can see it scattering in all directions. While gone for now, Triessa ha no way of knowing if it will stay gone or what its motivation was.

"Jesus Christ," Triessa breathed, startled in spite of herself. She wasn't sure what she'd been expecting, but it wasn't that. What was that? A diffuse kind of awareness, like a genuis loci or something. In other words, nothing anyone sane would want to mess with.
"Okay, new plan. We're getting out now. Fuck this noise. Come on."
She looked around, focusing on the mundane world this time...as if anything in the Nightlands could be considered mundane. Between a pair of buildings there was an alleyway she thought would be serviceable. With a wave of an arm for the others to follow, Triessa went to the alley.
"Alright, you, with Mary..." she pointed at the spikiest Nightbane of them all and waved him over in front of her. Then she paused and thought about it. "Actually, no. You go second. Someone else needs to go first and make sure the coast is clear."
"Any volunteers?"

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Tania says, "I can take the lead, just a moment though..."
She invokes her second talent, summoning a Guardian to watch her back. Bones seem to fly in from all around (whether or not any are nearby) and assemble themselves into a skeleton, then into bone armor and weapons on the skeleton.
The Skeleton speaks in a breathless hiss, "Mistress..."
Tania orders, "Guard me from harm."
She then takes the lead and keeps alert.

Tania gets instructions on how to go through the mirror from one of the others. Keep a hold on what you want to bring with you, look into the mirror deeply and let your power flow into it, it should become like a curtain of liquid silver that she can just step through to come out on the other side, if there is one.

Triessa nods at Raphael and says, "Okay. Hold still, and when you feel a...pull, I guess...just let it happen. Be ready, just in case we haven't gone far enough. I'll send more through after you, so hold out."
She glanced at the others, rooting around in the drab alley for castoffs, and nods.
Holding out her right hand, draped in the silver and gemstone links of her handflower bracelet, Triessa drew a circle in the air and said, "Speculum aperire."
For a moment, nothing seemed to happen.
Then there was a high pitched squeaking sound, like dry ice being pressed against cold metal. A silvery disc manifested in midair behind Raphael, rippling like water as it cascaded down and formed. When it's surface calmed, it was a perfectly reflective mirror.
Abruptly, with a sound like a large glass pane shattering, that shining silver mirror broke. The pieces shivered to tiny droplets and vanished, and sunlight flooded in through the circular hole in the air. Sunlight, the sound of cars, the constant murmur of a city in motion. Through that hole was Earth.
With a sudden inrush of air, Raphael was drawn backwards through that disc, and the instant he was through the whole thing collapsed in itself with a hollow WHUMP.
Triessa watched, her eyes wide with something like surprise, then looked at her hand. "That...went better than I thought it would. I think I could try more than one at a time."

Gravely has been a mix of of overwhelmed emotions and confusion. Call it his investigative senses but he is unnerved and becomes solely focused on observing everything in his surroundings
He says little as he follows and continues to observe. Clearly deep in thought and very concerned he holds his M$ at the ready and attempts pin point threats unseen.
"Triessa, I hope whatever you are doing is working and that you will take the time later to explain it to me. Having two of us that can replicate escapes will certainly be better for everyone."

Tania sighs, "I suppose, since I failed at using the mirror, I will have to have you send me and my Guardian."
She can not be sure, but she thinks she might have mentally bruised or strained something trying. She would rather not try it herself just now.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
"All right, time is short, lets do threes," Triessa decides. "Tania, Clayton and Signal. Step on up, get your 'I'm a totally normal mortal' faces on..."
She wove her spell again. The resulting floating 'mirror' was much larger this time, enough so to engulf all three of them, even if creating it left Triessa noticeably winded for a moment.
"Ugh, okay. Uh, Gravely, Bioden...you bring Mary too."
Again she worked her spell, weaving the mirror portal, then smashing it to draw the three into Earth.
Now with her forehead beaded with sweat, Triessa took hold of Tania's 'guardian' or whatever it was and looked up at it.
"You play nice, or I'll hand you back to the new girl in chunks, understand?" With a sigh she then muttered, "One more hill, Triessa...one more hill..."
The spell was cast one final time.
Once again, Triessa felt an unexpected barrier between worlds...a kind of resistance that she had to push past. For a moment she wasn't sure she could do it...she could feel her concentrating starting to waver, her will faltering... As usual, in that kind of situation, it was stubbornness and anger that saved her. Punching through the dimensional barrier was tiring as hell, but she was NOT going to let some stupid interference stop her NOW!
She climbed that hill...and emerged into the now-quite-crowded alley with everyone else, arm on the guardian's like it was escorting her to the goddamn prom.
The air on Earth was the crisp cool of gathering twilight, with the sun bunched orange and red on a horizon obscured by the houses across the street.
"Tania, loose the giant...thing here and Bio, gonna need you to go human," Triessa said, looking around. "Wrong side of Neverland for that."
"We'd better get moving. Whatever was watching us will know where we punched through, and if they have Earthside assets, they're already on the way here."
She ducked out of the alley and started heading down the street, trusting the others to follow.
She wove her spell again. The resulting floating 'mirror' was much larger this time, enough so to engulf all three of them, even if creating it left Triessa noticeably winded for a moment.
"Ugh, okay. Uh, Gravely, Bioden...you bring Mary too."
Again she worked her spell, weaving the mirror portal, then smashing it to draw the three into Earth.
Now with her forehead beaded with sweat, Triessa took hold of Tania's 'guardian' or whatever it was and looked up at it.
"You play nice, or I'll hand you back to the new girl in chunks, understand?" With a sigh she then muttered, "One more hill, Triessa...one more hill..."
The spell was cast one final time.
Once again, Triessa felt an unexpected barrier between worlds...a kind of resistance that she had to push past. For a moment she wasn't sure she could do it...she could feel her concentrating starting to waver, her will faltering... As usual, in that kind of situation, it was stubbornness and anger that saved her. Punching through the dimensional barrier was tiring as hell, but she was NOT going to let some stupid interference stop her NOW!
She climbed that hill...and emerged into the now-quite-crowded alley with everyone else, arm on the guardian's like it was escorting her to the goddamn prom.
The air on Earth was the crisp cool of gathering twilight, with the sun bunched orange and red on a horizon obscured by the houses across the street.
"Tania, loose the giant...thing here and Bio, gonna need you to go human," Triessa said, looking around. "Wrong side of Neverland for that."

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Gravely stepped through and quickly got his bearings. Mostly using local landmarks and features to determine where the cell had stepped through.
Keeping the cell to the alley while they switched or maintained human forms and he was able to ferret out some information from the locals were his primary concerns.
He was rather amazed at how quickly the reality seemed to snap back into place once they touched feet on solid ground.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Tania reluctantly agrees to shift back to human form before stepping through. She wonders what will happen to her bone guardian if she steps through without him. She decides it is worth finding out.
Of course, there is the problem of her clothing. She does not really have any.
"Ummm, guys, right now I am kind of naked under my fur. Does someone have something I can wear," Tania inquires?

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Clayton shifts back into his human form. He body grows slightly taller and his usual rugged self begins to reappear. His face rearranges, shrinking down and his arms and hands shorten down to a more human sized length. Finally, his tail shortens and splits into two legs.
He smiles at Tania and says, "Well, Ah reckon we cain't have the li'l lady exposin' herself to the world."
Clayton nods his head backwards at Triessa and says, "Especially when we got us a genyoowine private investigator peepin' around. Let's keep ya decent."
The old grifter takes off his long leather duster, wrapping it around her, and says, "Ah'd greatly appreciate it if ya didn't make a mess out ah this old thang. We go back quite a ways. Hell, it's probably older than your grandpappy."
He winks at Tania then turns to face Triessa, "Ah'm ready and willin'."
On the otherside, Clayton lets out a massive sigh of relief. The tension melts out of his body, and he feels relatively safe for the first time since they left to make a supply run.
"We're out ah tha fryin' pan, but lets stay out ah the fire, ya hear? Don't get sloppy just 'cuz we're back home," he cautions.

Re: 04 Wenatchee Night Lands
Tania responds, "Thank you." She dons the duster, which at least covers her enough to be decent, then steps through the portal once it is open.
Without her here to animate it, the Bone Guardian collapses into a pile of bones, which would likely be difficult to carry across as the bones, without the animating magic, do not cling together.
