Silver Bluff - The street(s)
There are also a verity of rumors going on around town. If you are interested in finding out more info about the town, throw in some narrative on who you are talking to [ feel free to make places or people up] make a Persuasion roll. If you want to talk to some of the seeder kind of folks make a streetwise roll. Depending on the roll I'll let you know what rumor you find.

Silver Bluff/Streets
Morning
“You’ve all been very kind,” Jude said to Jessica and her friends. They lounged in the shade of a tree just south of the well at the center of town. Jude passed his flask around among the young women. He noticed a few jealous looks from the young men of the town as they passed, going about their business. “I’ve never been to Silver Bluff before. Never really heard of it. What can you tell me about the place? The architecture is really interesting.” He brushed a lock of hair out of a redhead’s face and flashed her his smile.

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
Jessica gives Jude's arm a quick squeeze. "Wait right here, let me go get my father he knows everything about the town, I think I saw him go into the garage with his glitter boy.". Jessica runs off and comes back with Bronze in tow.
Bronze smiles at Jude, and clasps him on the back as if he is family, "So son, Jessica says you are interested in learning more about the town?" Bronze's eyes drift off thinking for a moment, Well 25 years ago Durbin, Doc, a technowizard named Lighthelm I beleive...". He stops squinitng his eyes, " yeah Lighthelm a dwarve. We were escorting a bunch of folk through the wilderness. We saw a beam of light, pure white, extend from this bluff area. When we investigated, all we found were a few standing empty buildings like the inn, library, and well. Several more buildings that had been destroyed by fire, they looked singed all to hell. Very few personal effects were around. I think Durbin found a book. He would swear the folk that disapeared were monks of the white petal. I don't know. I found some training dummys almost dystroyed but they clearly had sword notches in them, and I found a few small peices of plate armor near one of the bridges.". Bronze pauses, his daughter and friends are listening to every word.
Jessica whispers afraid to break the moment, "You never mentioned the technowizard, bright light or those armor peices before."
Bronze nods and smiles " It must be Jude, my mind is focused. I think these monks of Durbins might actually be knights. Dr. Dan said that the arcitecture is oriental in design. But we settled in and adopted it as our own and tried to stick as best we could to that design. 5 years later a well todo man and woman came in and contracted Lighthelm to make that still that hangs over the well. I always thought Lighthelm left with them, but it seems weird that our curator of our library would up and leave like that."
One of the odd things, is if pressed for more info of the TW it seems as if he barely remembers this person if at all. This does cause some concern with his daughter Jessica.

Jude is a bit more careful with his affections with Jessica when her father shows up. He does listen to the story with interest, though. “I’ve never heard of this white petal,” Jude mused. “Knights, you say? Wonder what happened to them. That still is interesting. What did those people want you to build it for? Do they still come around? It does seem odd that this Lighthelm just left.”
Jude glanced at Jessica and noted her concern, giving her a brief touch of reassurance on her back. “So you have a library? That seems interesting. I always did like books,” he admitted. “I might have to check it out later if I have time.”

Bronze scratches his nose, and happly loops his arms underneath both Jude and Jessica's. "Those two affluent folks, had the still built to help our community have an endless supply of fresh water.

“Did they say why the wanted to build a still? That seems rather...altruistic,” Jude mused. “I don’t meet with that much out here in the wilds. Or in civilization.”
Jude studied the rubble of the library with a sad look. “Maybe there’s something that can be salvaged from it yet,” he said hopefully. “Maybe organize a work detail to get the books into another building before it rains.”

Leaving the general store, Cantrell heads off into the side streets of Silver Bluff, looking for the sorts of folks that trade in information -- old men, young children and shadier sorts.
First vampires, now mention of some hag ... and "special" babies that disappear every year or two. Too many mysteries and not enough intel, she thinks, formulating questions as she looks for the sort who might provide answers for a flask of whiskey or a handful of credits or sweets.

Broze scratches his head, " I recall meeting them in the morning, the man... Ah I don't recall his name, but struck me as someone very interested in helping us out. He had a strange accent. They were obviously well off, he had this ring with a large dark colored stone, black or purple. They wanted to just help us out, they had the means and will. The odd thing was I assumed they were married, but sometimes She would treat him as a servant, kind for sure but almost as if she... How did he put it, oh yeah She was his mistress."Jude Maverick wrote:Silver Bluff/Streets

Jess gathers her friends and they all go over to library at Jude's urging. Jess squeezes Jude's hand excitedly as she leaves.
Bronze claps Jude on the back laughing. " Well son, I best be getting back to my glitterboy. If you want to stop by our house for lunch you would be welcome."

You meet a bushy bearded man with feirce brown eyes at this hole in the wall dive. It appears from the ricky sign it used to becalled Mud's, but that has been painted over and now says Lucy's. It seems few people patron this kind of joint, and the barman points you to the back. Trapper Jackson greets you sullenly a bit of drool comes out of his mouth, it looks like half his head was at one point smashed in only to be replaced by somekind of steel plate. When you ask about the Hag, he tells you a bit of a story or by snickering of nearby patrons a tall-tale.Cantrell wrote:Leaving the general store, Cantrell heads off into the side streets of Silver Bluff, looking for the sorts of folks that trade in information -- old men, young children and shadier sorts.

" I was up North, way North near that energy line that passes through the forest. I saw her and it, as if she was walking a dog. You see I was there in Tolkeen for a few of the years, I've seen what I seen and know what I know. It was the hag, glorious and fearful, I've seen her kind before they all look different, but the more they do the same they are...". His voice drops low, "Whitchling it was, she larger than most I've seen, her hair had yellow eyes in its locks....". Trapper Jackson laughs nearly knocking himself off his seat, " Haha, and the best part was she was out walking her Hangdog!". He starts laughing and blubbering jibberish.

“Thank you, Bronze,” Jude told the old glitterboy pilot. “Thistle has invited me to lunch today, but if we end up staying longer, I will definitely stop by your place for a meal,” he promised, looking off after Jessica fondly.
When the old man left, Jude got the call from Max to help out at the store.

Kesslan steps out into the streets, still sniffing around having heard about the one vampire that had been discovered. For now he seems to just be wandering around town, still sniffing away and trying to see if there were any others that might be hiding. Daytime after all, would be the best time to deal with them.

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
Unfortunately you do not find anymore vampires. But you do see two men with sunken eyes, dressed in black garb come wondering into town. They are not exactly trying to be stealthy, but they are not saying hi to anyone. Sort of like they are trying to go unnoticed. They have a stench of magical death wafting off them. Following them you see that they enter a hole in the wall establishment called Lucy's. From the small dive bar called Lucy's you do also smell some kind of aura similiar to a vampire but the smell is far weaker.
Let me know if you want to follow them in or keep wandering arround

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
Kesslan wasn't quite sure what he was dealing with, but also didn't want to just go in alone without anyone knowing where he was, so he radio's the rest of the group in hopes at least one of them has their radio on. "This is Kesslan, I'm checking out some new arrivals to town at some dive called Lucy's. There's something off about them." and then the dogboy rather cautiously heads to follow the pair in after staying back a little bit so it doesn't look deliberate. Or at least that's his hope. He might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he at least knew enough to make the effort of trying not to be super obvious.

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
While you are outside of Lucy's discussing your plans, a 60ish crotchety man comes grumbling by. He is pretty dirty, like he works out in the mud fields often. He looks up at the sign that now says Lucy's picks up a rock and tosses it at the sign. He misses horribly.
Just above a whisper he indignately curses, " Damn Heroes! Always meddling in my affairs. She's my daughter, the baby's mine! Hero better watch his silver toungue or I'll rip it out." He pushes his way past the four of you without paying you much heed. "Lucy's?". He curses one more time before entering the hole in the wall establishment.

Lucretia frowns at the man;s comments - particularly the part about the baby being his.
No one owns that baby. People are not property.
Then she grins...in a bit of a mischievous way.
"Can you disguise me as Jude? And make my voice sound like his?"
She flicks on her radio.
"Jude, I don't know what you did to piss the old guy off, but I bet he deserved it. I need a quick run down on what happened. Skip any er... details... that you don't think are relevant. Also, I'd advise keeping that baby clear of town for a little while. It might not be safe and you might not like what you see."

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
[So it looks like Kesslan went in ahead of the group. So while folks are getting there and discussing here is what happens to Kesslan.]
The dive bar is a fairly small place, about 5 small tables. It is a bit hard to find the "back". The lighting in the place is fairly dim, perfect for conducting unsavory deals. The bartender nods to you when you come in. There are about two tables being used. You see the two individuals dressed in black talkimg to another person. This other person seems familiar like just someone you might have seen arround town. The person is maybe 40 or so his nose gives him a hawkish like look. On the table is a package about the size of a loaf of bread(it smells like vampire). You catch a bit of the conversation the three are having.
One of the men says, " We got Daggen's message. A vampire attack, very interesting."
The other one says, " We heard rumors of the hag, but vampires have never been a problem over here. Yes very interesting."
Their contact nods, " yup a vampire attack, Daggen promised it would be worth your while...". The contact peels back part of the package, making sure to keep it out of any sunlight. It looks roughly like a vampire hand.
The two men laugh joyfully and rub their hands in glee.
The three talk for a bit about what could be done with such an item. The contact continues. " Daggen should be along shortly, said he would come by after lunch with the baby."
One of the men almost unable to contain his excitement whispers, " Is it true? The child was in a vampire?"
The contact just nods his head. At that time the door opens and a 60ish year old man, named Daggen comes in cursing something about troublesome heroes. It is clear he knows the three men and joins them.
Daggen seems fairly pissed about something, " Melin, Victor, the baby is going to be a problem, we got some damn heroes in town, maybe we wait them out, just like any hero they'll leave and we can get the baby." The unnamed contact coughs slightly. The men at the table look arround seeing who is in the bar.
What do the other three: Bane, Lucretia, and Cantrell do?
Gm clarification
-The two men dressed black reek of death magic
-Daggen also smells like magic, both the faint magic that is affecting some members of the town, and also he smells like a kind of magic that deals with interacting with supernatural creatures.
- the contact does not smell like magic. But a laser pistol is on the contacts hip.

Kesslan can make a stealth roll to remain unobserved( they got a 14 to see who is in the bar), or do something else...Any kind of attack action will initiate a quick combat combat.What do the other three: Bane, Lucretia, and Cantrell do?

Jude caught Lucretia on the radio and frowned. “Where out of town? We’re in the middle of nowhere. I thought we might bunker down in the inn,” he admitted. “But okay. I will find someplace safe. Be careful.”

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
Kesslan knew something was up by this point, but he wasn't quite sure what. Just that it was 'not good'. Those kind of scents always meant 'not good' and the talk of taking a baby again was a sign of 'not good'. 'Good' people didn't just take babies! And if they were dealing with the likes of vampires, or the demonic or anything else of that nature no doubt they wanted it for a sacrifice or something equally horrible.
It did however occur to him that maybe he should try being a bit more subtle about his presence at this point. He'd at least picked up some useful things but.. well. What was 'subtle' to a dogboy really?

OOC Comments
Deciding that sticking to the shadows would be best, Kesslan moved off to one side, seeking out a table or booth that could potentially keep an eye on the lot, or at the very least an ear. Failing that he'd just slink back against the wall somewhat unobtrusively. He might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but sneaking was something he could do well when the time called for it. At least usually, and certainly this appeared to be one of those times he was on top of his game. After that what was he supposed to do? Uhh.. be still. Be very, very still. Movement draws notice! Right...I bring the fire

Turning to include Bane and Max, she continues.
"The three of you wait here, off to the side. I'll draw them out - worst case scenario I'll 'let' them 'capture' me and 'force' me to lead them to the baby. Be ready to turn the tables on them when we come out... but try not to kill anyone. I think some questioning is in order."

She flashes another Jude-esque smile.
"Showtime."
She turns and enters the bar. Making a 'visual' sweep of the room, she locates Daggen's table.
If there's one kind of acting I'm good at, it's acting like I have eyes. Weird to think that I do have eyes now. Sort of.
Locating her targets, she approaches as if she's got a bone to pick with them. Which of course she does, but not quite the same one.
She puts her hand down - hard - on Daggen's shoulder.

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
Cantrell hesitates for a moment as Lucretia disappears inside the bar.
The sergeant said to stay outside ... but would I let Jude walk solo into a fight with a bunch of Federation of Magic goons?
"Not a chance," she says. Waving off Bane and Max, she quickly steps inside, as well.
Abruptly, a large, hairy arm reaches past Cantrell's head and pushes the bathroom door fully closed. Another meaty hand falls on her shoulder, spinning her around.
"Well hello there, gorgeous," the big man says, a gap-toothed grin spreading above the wooly beard that hangs over a chest as wide as a Grackletooth's.
Oh, shit. Men's room, Cantrell thinks, acutely aware of the two inches of space between them.
The hirsute man -- or ogre? -- smiles even wider, then licks his lips.
"People done say I'm a little backwards, but I sure do love me a forward woman!"

Eyes adjusting slowly to the dim light, Cantrell doesn't wait to get a better view of the room but immediately moves right, past the bar toward a door that - judging from the character crudely carved into the wood - must be a restroom. She's fast, and she doesn't think anyone had a chance to see her as she grabs the handle and turns, sliding in sideways so she doesn't lose sight of Lucretia. If I keep the door cracked I can keep an eye on the sergeant and be that much closer if she ends up in trouble ...Abruptly, a large, hairy arm reaches past Cantrell's head and pushes the bathroom door fully closed.

Max's voice comes over the radio, quietly. "13th, more confirmation on some funny business around here. This kid, Alex, looks like he lost his dad this week. He mentioned something happened to his mother after he was born. This is a long-running issue in this town. Also, I think we should take this kid with us. He's got a gift for tech, and there's a ton he could learn from Lib, Markus, and me."

Before Bane has a chance to object, Cantrell walks into Lucy's causing Bane to curse his luck. "By the gods, Cantrell! I guess three Judes are better than two! With that, Bane shapes his features to match those of Jude's/not Jude's (a.k.a. Lucretia). (Disguise -3 PPE) Then for good measure, Bane casts Natural Talent (Greater Boost Trait, increasing Fighting), shadow boxing to work on his fighting techniques in the expectation that things will go sideways in there, but the spell doesn't take effect.Spellcasting - Disguise

Once his spell has taken effect, Bane strides into Lucy's and looks around for not Jude and Cantrell. He sees not Jude talking to some men but no Cantrell at first, then he hears a deep voice talking about forward women coming from the bathroom. Well doesn't that just beat all! Bane walks over to the men's room door and pulls it open and says (in Jude's voice) "I hope you aren't talking about MY forward woman! Sweetcheeks, there you are! I've been worried about you!.

Daggen looks up at Jude/Lucretia and snarls, " A Lady? Why do you think we call this Lucy's. We heard you call that blind one that. If she came in, we would treat her just right." He raises his voice to the few patrons in the bar, in a very nasty tone he yells, "We know how to treat ladies right fellas?". The bar gets a small chuckle.
From the bathroom a booming voice cries out "Danny, you better pour me a fresh one a lady just walked into the stall."
Daggen chuckles with his friends at the table, and looks at Jude/Lucretia's hand on his shoulder.
He just shakes his head, " Heroes, always thinking they are better than us simple folk. They always know, they take what is ours. I don't suppose you brought that silly hex shapped pendant with you. I think Pete, here, could find a buyer for such a Techno wiz peice of jewlery...Ah well." Daggen laughs spilling his drink. Kesslan notices Daggens eyes are solid black, and the smell of magic is like a tidal force just waiting for the right moment to be released.
Daggen's tone turns a bit more firendly, veild with sarcastic hatred, " But I like you, you got the gift of gab, not many that practicse that fine art.". He touches Jude/lucretia's hand, his tone switches to menacing, as if someone far more darker is talking through him, " So I am not going to kill you, but Mel, Mitch, and Pete will. I will kill the other one of you that just walked in."
Mel and Mitch look at Jude/Lucretia if Lucretia could see their sicken eyes she might find it unerving. A rustle from the package on the table catches her attention as a claw extended vampire hand lunges out of the package going for her face.
Everyone, especially Kesslan and Jude/Lucretia sees or feels Daggen's skin ripping away until Jude/Lucretia's hand is resting on not Daggen but a creature of nightmarish origion. The creature is about 8ft tall, four arms, a few tentacles, and small spikes adorn its body. Strangly the creature does not look completely formed, like it is in a youth state. A strange aymbol is carved into the creatures chest.
The Orgreish man tries to grab Cantrell out of the bathroom in the confusion. The Brute's face is a mixture of terror and confusion.
Some of the floor boards start to creak and grown as skeleton hands start to rip through, and pull themselves up striking out at the members of the set team, and the rest of the folks in the bar.
Lat but not least, Sitting at the table, Pete the gunslinger, quick draws putting his laser pistol point blank at Jude/Lucretia's head. The man laughs and snears, "This aught to shut you up nicely."

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
The bearded ogre winces in pain at the psychic scream that accompanies the assault on Jude/Bane.
"Head down, gorgeous, you're safe with me," he bellows, scooping up Cantrell, exo-armor and all.
"That won't be ... oof!" Cantrell has just enough time to draw her pistol, but not enough time to decide whether to use it on the ogre, before she's tossed over the brute's shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
I don't know what a particle beam will do to any of that, she thinks, her thoughts straying back to the near-invulnerable vampires at the bridge. Then she sees the gunslinger with a pistol to Jude/Lucretia's head. But I know what it'll do to that.
The hiss of super-heated air comes a second later, as smoke drifts from the two-inch hole her particle beam pistol burns from one of the gunslinger's ears to the other. He topples backward, upending a table full of cards.
Her second shot burns through the Queen of Diamonds before putting a smoking hole in the forehead of one of the two necromancers. Half the skeletons collapse into bone dust.
Mitch and Mel can go to hell, she thinks as she starts to line up a shot on the other. Then Ogie the ogre muscles through the door out into the street, taking out part of the door-frame with her armored hind end and throwing off her aim in the process.
Once in the street, he swings around, forcing Max to jump back in surprise.
"A little help?" Cantrell says, as the Dog Boy seems caught somewhere between shock and amusement. "Oh, nevermind."
"I appreciate the chivalry, but I think our date's gonna have to end here," she says, leveling the particle beam pistol at the bushy triangle of chest-hair exposed at Ogie's collar. She notices a thick gold chain around his neck, holding a pendant shaped like a set of swollen bull testicles. Of course.
"I'm gonna go back in there, with the demon and the skeletons, to see if my friends need help. Then I'm going to go home alone, okay? Because no means no -- and in this case, the name of my particle beam pistol is 'No.' Comprende?"
"Head down, gorgeous, you're safe with me," he bellows, scooping up Cantrell, exo-armor and all.
"That won't be ... oof!" Cantrell has just enough time to draw her pistol, but not enough time to decide whether to use it on the ogre, before she's tossed over the brute's shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"Now just wait a damn minute!" Cantrell manages to say, before the ogre swings toward the door, giving her a clear view of the unfolding chaos in the middle of the bar. Daggen -- or whatever was inside Daggen's skin -- is quickly changing from old man to young demon, and skeletal arms are clawing up from the floor.I don't know what a particle beam will do to any of that, she thinks, her thoughts straying back to the near-invulnerable vampires at the bridge.

Reaching down to grab the ogre's belt, she manages -- just barely -- to pull her legs free and roll forward, spinning to face him as he turns."I appreciate the chivalry, but I think our date's gonna have to end here," she says, leveling the particle beam pistol at the bushy triangle of chest-hair exposed at Ogie's collar.

"I'm gonna go back in there, with the demon and the skeletons, to see if my friends need help. Then I'm going to go home alone, okay? Because no means no -- and in this case, the name of my particle beam pistol is 'No.' Comprende?"

Oh all things hellish and holy! Can't we just have ONE thing go right in this town?! Bane barely is able to think to himself as he momentarily clutches his head. In the back of his mind he registers that an ogre just carried Cantrell outside as she snapped a few shots off at the more mundane targets, so he briefly considers the young Neuron Beast before him before casting a spell.Knowledge Arcane 5
Spellcasting 7
Bane remembers hearing that Neuron Beasts really hate the cold, and also considers casting Banishment to get rid of the undead, or Sun Bolt against before ultimately deciding a single Sun Bolt against the Neuron Beast would be his best bet.Sun Bolt Damage 24
The energy of the Sun Bolt hits the Neuron Beast in the arm that was holding he Vampire's Arm, disintigrating it and seriously wounding or even possibly killing the thing.OOC Comments

Silver Bluff/Aunt Thistle’s place

"13th, more confirmation on some funny business around here. This kid, Alex, looks like he lost his dad this week. He mentioned something happened to his mother after he was born. This is a long-running issue in this town. Also, I think we should take this kid with us. He's got a gift for tech, and there's a ton he could learn from Lib, Markus, and me," came Max’s voice over the radio.
Jude clicked on his radio. “Wonderful. More weirdness. I don’t know the kid, but I don’t have any problem with him tagging along, as long as the town thinks it’s okay and he knows it might be dangerous,” Jude told Max. “We don’t want to get accused of stealing kids, though, so talk to Grease and Bronze about it.”

With his team in sudden danger, the previously lurking and hidden Kesslan launches into sudden and furious action with a challenging growl. If that didn't give his presence away, the darkened area he's in soon lights up quite brightly as his hands come out to his sides and each fist forms a brightly glowing ball of flame. The first is whipped towards the gunslinger Pete, while the other is spun about and slung at the Neuron beast moments later. The blasts are to say the least... intense. Maybe it was his pure, raw fury, or maybe he'd simply momentarily lost control of himself and his powers, but in either case, each ball of flame lands like a miniature nova, setting all they touch aflame (or at least anything not immune to such effects). The super heated balls having reached the point of being pure plasma. Fortunately, given his ability to control the after effects, if need be Kesslan will snuff out any 'undesirable' fires so as not to burn the whole place to the ground.
He was so incensed by the presence of yet more foul creatures and people in this apparently beleaguered town that he couldn't even form words by this point. But the anger burned as clearly in his eyes as the fires he created.
He wasn't a hateful individual in general. He was dumb, happy go lucky and loving of life. But monsters like this? There was no pity in his heart for such creatures, and his animal instincts take over fully. Kill, or be killed, and he had the all instincts of a killer deep down inside.

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
This is exactly what I didn't want. A fight in a crowd of... well, innocents is hardly the right word.
Lucretia deftly catches the hand, interleaving fingers like lovers might, giving her total control over where those claws go.
"Sorry to disappoint, but you've got the wrong hero."
As the Jude disguise fades, her psi-sword extends out of her hand through the vampire hand, impaling it and thrusting it out of her hand as it crumbles into dust.
Now that demon and the rest of these fools.
She flips forward onto the table and immediately jumps again to the side, her psi-sword sliding almost effortlessly into the chest of what used to be Daggen. Using the impalement as a point of leverage she swings herself around - narrowly dodging the sunbolt, fireballs, and gun blasts that strike mere inches away - which had the double effect of allowing her to kick the other two in the head, rendering them unconscious and slice the demon in two as her momentum levers the psi-sword through it's body. The head and right arm falling to the floor in one direction and the rest of it in the other.
She proceed to weave her way through the crowd, slicing skeletons to shreds while 'counting coup' on anyone who laughed at Daggen's remark about treating her right with a disrespectful slap upside the head.
When the room is cleared of threats, she nimbly leaps up on a table.
"Now, which one of you is going to be first to 'treat me right'? If I hear a single story of any woman in this town being disrespected I will teach the women of this town to defend themselves... and they will probably strike a bit lower than I did."
She turns her attention to the bartender, pointing toward him with the tip of her glowing white-silver blade.
"...and you! My name is Lucretia."

The Bartender Danny drops to one knee. Kesslan can smell something dark seeping from his mind, dissipating into nothingness.
After a moment, the Bartender shakes his head and rises concerned primarily for what just happened in his bar, and that the lady of Justice wants him to change his sign.

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
"No need to fire up Nadine, Max, I think we're ... uh ... okay," Cantrell says as the sounds of violence fade in the inn behind her and Lucretia gives the remaining bystanders the what for.
She keeps her pistol trained on Ogie, waiting to be sure her own words made it through the ogre's thick skull.
"What's this about a spell being broken? We may have survivors here ... How about we all meet somewhere to question them and compare notes? Maybe the garage again, or this saferoom Libertas found under the library? And where the hell is Jude -- the real one?"

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
Ogie, nods shakily to Cantrell. He murmers, " I can help too.". More forcefully he bellows even though Cantrell is just a few feet from him, " Daggen was a monster? He was always strange but I can help." Despite any protests and a few folks with welts on their foreheads( I think Lucretia slapped those that laughed) running out, the big Ogie man lumbers back into the Bar. He comes out with a glass of refreshing water in each hand, and is kicks the necromancer Mel from the door way so that he lands in a heap. As the necrmancer lands, singed to hell, and possibily a large chunk of shoulder missing, he groans in pain. From his black jacket a baseball sized round peice of quartz rolls out, it has some arcane markings on it.
Ogie, hands a glass of water to Cantrell and Lucretia. He gives Bane and Kesslan a look like, I only got two hands, and these are damn impressive women.. Although if Kesslan growls he will get them two water as well.
Ogie cheerfully Bellows, " I got it, I can help too! Not a date, but maybe more.". He grins at Cantrell. He gestures to a house down the way and whispers to her. " Big house.". He stolls away unless someone stops him heading home. Out of his pocket you can see a few bottles of liquor that he may or maynot have stolen.
The barman comes out noding at everyone still shaken from the near destruction of the bar. " Daggen has always been a weird one, he never came back quiet the same after the war ended... I found some red paint here, let me fix this sign...". As he gets to work you can hear him murmoring about a technowizard named Dwalin Lighthelm. " One moment I can't remember him, and the next I can... He helped me figure out how make alchol using the worms."
Gm clarification
-Mel the necromancer is alive, questions of him should go into round table discussion.
- the baseball size white quartz object that rolled out is worth 10,000 credits. Kn arcana on it, kesslan can smell some residual mental magic on it. Successful kn check, it is a telepathic communicator, capable of at least a few hundred miles. As a set they could be worth a couple hundred thousand credits to the right buyer. Basically it allows communication between the two per the telepathy power. The kn arcana check will determine range. 100 miles per success. ( thanks Libertas to catching, 100,000 miles per success would have been crazy)
- the other communicator is not in the bar.

She shakes her head.

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
Cantrell takes the glass of water from Ogie, then sets it down out of the way as she moves to secure the crispy but still breathing necromancer, Mel. She makes no move to pick up the magical orb, content to leave that to Bane or Lucretia.
"Uh, thanks, I guess, for the assist," she says to the ogre, trying not to say anything that might be taken as encouragement. She sighs in relief when the hairy brute heads home, trying not to think about his offer to move in.
"Okay, up on your feet, bone-caller. We're gonna go have a little conversation, and if you're not generous with your answers, I'm gonna start carving off the well-done portions of your limbs and feed them to the rats."
Cantrell waits until the others emerge from the inn, then heads toward the garage with the necromancer.

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
Speaking up Kesslan says after a moment of sniffing about to make sure there weren't more signs of that 'darkness' about. "I think some of them were possessed by that creature." he explains. "Or at least by something. I could sense it fading moments after the fight." he explains, though he wasn't sure how else to put it. "What ever it was, it's gone now though."

It is not to hard to find Jess. She is at the town well filling up a couple of pitchers with water out of the silver spigot. A few others are in line waiting their turn to use the well. She seems a little flustered. You can see her father nearby walking away occompanied by the kid Alex. Some of the towns folks in line are a bit confused and some sound scared. Two in particular at the back of the line, the owners of the general store, seem to be having a quiet discussion.
" what did he mean retire?"
" Who is going to protect us?"
" I think he said Jess would..."

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
There is a small tree and bench near the well. Jess heads over there carrying her two water jugs. Her face looks pensive as if she has a lot on her mind. She sits figitimg slightly. Still reeling from shock she stammers looking up at Lucretia and Libertas.
" My father... We have been training for the last few years...". She motions her arms in the beginning of a martial kata.
" He said... The suit is mine, I am not ready...". She bites her lip holding back tears. Shaking her head she smiles meekly and asks, " You wanted to talk Lucretia."

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
Max's voice comes over the radio. Libertas, we've got a lone hermit out here near the line. Looks like he might not be all there, if you know what I mean. But we're good for now.

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
Lucretia listens to the radio chatter, but pays it little heed - no emergencies.
Watching the kata, she notes two or three ways it could be improved, but quickly pushes those thoughts aside. That is not what is needed right now. She sits next to Jess, and takes a deep breath before speaking in soothing tones.
"No one is ever 'ready'. I wasn't 'ready' to carry on my cyberknight mentor's mission when he passed, but I did it. Not because i was special, or strong, or 'ready'. We do our best, and that's all there is to it. I don't know you very well, but I have believe you will do your best, to protect what you care about. Not because you are special, or strong, or 'ready'... but because you care. That's the important part."
She smiles.
"Of course, training does help. When I can get a message to Castle Refuge, I'm going to ask them to station some troops here, at least until we can be sure that the vampires are truly gone. If you would like I can ask that a glitterboy pilot be sent, to continue your training. I don't know if they will be able to send one though. You could always go the castle yourself for additional training, if needed. With Legion protection, I'm sure the town could spare you for a little while."
She looks over at Libertas, and remembers that they have something else to discuss.
"That's something to consider for the future, though. In the meantime, we are looking for something, and we think that you might have seen it. It's a key of sorts, but technomagical, so it might not look like a key. it opens a chest in the lab we found under the library, which holds a weapon that would help is defeat the vampires. We believe that the technowizard that used to live here may have given the key to your father. with the day he's having, we thought it might be best to talk to you about it first. Libertas, can you tell Jess anything else about the key?"

Libertas finds an open patch of dirt, crouching next to it with a stick."It would be about this size, and have a hexagonal shape--something like this." He does a crude sketch as he talks, portraying the shape that best matches the lock on the chest.

Re: Silver Bluff - The street(s)
Jessica looks at Lucretia with relief. A small smile washes over her face.
" If the community out reach team could stay on, maybe I could get the training I need at the Castle... I have not seen anything that is out in the world. Carol has shown me some things..." She chuckles slightly before realizing she was rambling and glances around nervously. She lets out a sigh.
" Yes heading to the Castle would be great. Thank you."
She grasps both Lucreta's and Libertas' hands and shakes them. "Thank you so much, that Castle sounds like the place I need to be at right now!" She laughs at the joke, but something in it rings of truth. " Let me know what you find with that Key, it has some interesting crystals on it. When ever I concentrated on it, I could get them to glow! Ever-since I was a little girl I wondered about it."
If there is nothing else she gets up with her water jugs and heads off presumably home. Although you see Carol meet her as she is heading down the street. After a brief exchange of quiet words, the the two of them hurriedly head off in the same direction Bronze and the kid Alex went.
The Major and Cyborg are thwarted from entering the store as it is locked, and its current proprietors are in line waiting for water. One of them calls to the Major, " We'll be right there Major!" The Major shakes his head pointing to the west where a majority of the home steads lie and the two head off.
What next for the dynamic duo?

After Libertas describes the key she nods her head emphatically. " I knew it was a key! I gave it to my friend Thistle a while back." She points the way down the street heading south-east. " She lives down that way." Something catches her attention she tries to hide it, but she just does not do it quite good enough. She spotted the CS Major and the cyborg heading toward the general store in half a hurried manner.She grasps both Lucreta's and Libertas' hands and shakes them.

A woman with a fair amount of mud on her britches comes over to the folks in line. She exclaims enthusiastically, " Did you guys see what happened at Lucy's...?" She gives a fair description of the scene as left, although clearly her account of what happened was third hand. " Daggen was a beastly monster!" Some of the folks in line cry out, other just think she is making it up.What next for the dynamic duo?

Libertas nods, listening to Jessica, then blinking as she runs off, and looks at Lucretia. "Thistle... isn't that the one Jude is currently Galahading off with the baby? They're just outside of town, right? Maybe we can head over there, talk to her--unless you've got something else in mind, of course, Sergeant."

Lucretia is slightly stunned at Jude being in trouble, again.Jude hit his comm as he tucked baby Krave into his arm. “Um, Top Dog? I got a problem here that seems more up your alley than mine. How are you against death knights?”
"I can handle it." I'll have too. "What's the fastest way to get to you from the town center?"
