As you should be.  I've been scouring for good scenes of calling out demons and so far all I've cinematically gotten is articles about people claiming they have been possessed, or the infamous

This is Constantine... John Constantine, asshole.

not as impressive as I would like.  Been having one of those weeks where I am expected to do three jobs today...

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 415):

Brennan/Ciryl, let me know if you want to prepare anything or be standing anywhere with respect to Titus when he calls out to the darkness for the sweet release of death to spring a well-planned trap

In reply to GM (msg # 416):

Got him right where I want him.

I'd just like to be standing out of Titus's arm's reach.  If the Inquisitor's visibly present for this, put him between me and Titus.

In reply to Ciryl Fontaine (msg # 418):

Why would you want to go do a thing like that?!  I'm totally fast enough to duck behind you as a shield from any distance :P

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 419):

Well, make you work for it.

In reply to Ciryl Fontaine (msg # 420):

I'm as ready as I'll get.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to attack this thing using the Wind or my Astral form. If I run out of echo before it's dead, I hope you fine folks won't mind if I make a hasty exit... :)

(Leaning toward Astral attack as I think I used the wind on it during our first meeting and it didn't do anything to it).

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 421):

Titus will only be pissed if you dont leave a way for him to find you.

Both I and Ciryl are a bit at a loss for what to do here.  Given how this party has acted I kinda expected we'd end up literally stabbing Jack in the back, not charging headlong into him.  I swear if Titus gets decapitated in the first round...

In reply to Ciryl Fontaine (msg # 423):

I realize we're paused for the time being, but I also don't actually know what the next step is. There's no initiative right? You just say what you want to do and roll it out and once they are all laid out, the rolls decide how fast things happen?

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 424):

yeah, it's been a while but that's combat in this system.  I'm just at a loss for what I'm going to be doing.

In reply to Ciryl Fontaine (msg # 425):

Yeah, it has been a while.

Correct, you declare your action and the results of your roll.

The width of your set (i.e. if it's a pair vs 3-of-a-kind) determines your initiative, with your special abilities and Traits possibly also modifying.

I then do a summary of the round.

As far as WHAT you should be doing: that's a harder question.  The only "mundane" means for hurting Jack directly are Titus and the sword.

Whether your other abilities or equipment work remains to be seen.

In reply to GM (msg # 426):

Titus: are you swapping out your planned attack for torch-assault?

In reply to GM (msg # 427):

OH i thought the attack had been resolved by him vanishing.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 428):

Nope.  He's just hard to see, hasn't done anything in particular.

In reply to GM (msg # 429):

Sorry, dropped the ball this week...

Titus, still charging in sword blazing before Jack does whatever he's going to do?

In reply to GM (msg # 430):

I think I'm waiting on Brennan to declare an action?

In reply to GM (msg # 431):

Action is to Brennan

In reply to GM (msg # 432):

If Jack could.. y'know stop hitting me directly in my chestplate over and over again it would be great!  Kthx!

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 433):

It's just such an attractive target

In reply to GM (msg # 434):

WOAH WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!

Nice shot!

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 435):

He stole it from Titus.

In reply to Ciryl Fontaine (msg # 436):

The knife or the headshot? :P

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 437):

Yes.
