HP:58 AC:19 FF:19 TCH:19 Init:13

Colin was tempted to rush to the aid of the other group, but he knew a cold, hard fact. Heroes died quickly. Always. He was going to take stock and a few seconds to find where he could be most useful. He laid the shotgun down at his feet, the clumsy weapon being dangerous in a close fight. Instead, he drew out his newly acquired knife and paired it with one of his folding knives. While he was absolute garbage trying to fight with two at once, it was never a bad idea to let your enemies think otherwise.

Colin waited until he could strike with a favorable outcome.

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

ooc: Initiative is as follows: Father Simon, Colin, and Stefan. However, since it looks like Colin is holding back for the time being I will let him go whenever he feels it is appropriate. Since it is play by post, I am usually nice and will have the enemies go last so no one has to wait on me. So go ahead and roll/post your first attack or action as they may be. I will then post for the demons.

Here's a really quick layout of the fight so you can choose your actions accordingly:

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Now that he had their attention, he spoke the exorcism rite.
"Regna terrae, cantate Deo, psallite Domino
qui fertis ascendit*1 super caelum
caeli ad Orientem
Ecce dabit voci suae*2 vocem virtutis,
tribuite virtutem deo. *3

Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus
omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio
infernalis adversarii, omnis legio,
omnis congregatio et secta diabolica.
Ergo draco maledicte [*a]
et omnis legio diabolica
adjuramus te.
Cessa decipere humanas creaturas,
eisque aeternae Perditionis venenum propinare.

Vade, Satana, inventor et magister
omnis fallaciae, hostis humanae salutis.
Humiliare sub potenti manu dei,
contremisce et effuge, invocato a
nobis sancto et terribili nomine,
quem inferi tremunt.

Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine.
Ut Ecclesiam tuam secura tibi facias libertate servire
te rogamus, audi nos.
Ut inimicos sanctae Ecclesiae humiliare digneris,
te rogamus, audi nos. [*b]

Terribilis Deus de sanctuario suo.
Deus Israhel ipse truderit virtutem
et fortitudinem plebi Suae.
Benedictus deus. Gloria patri."

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

As the demons rush forward, Stefan's spell is activated and two of the demons drop where they stand, clearly unconscious. Meanwhile Father Simon's spell seems to have had an effect all it's own. A bright haze seems to surround him and two more demons stiffen in awe and hold perfectly still. As they hear the exorcism rite they screech in fury, but they make no move to attack. The two demons left look to be a mixture of horrified and enraged. The remaining pair surge forward, their hands raised. You both go flying back into the crates you are taking cover at, the wood hitting you painfully as you make contact. Meanwhile Lily has regained herself and is running towards the wagon with the scrolls, which is now unguarded for the time being.


ooc: Next round! Collin, feel free to join in anytime you feel your character would. 4 out of 6 of the demons are temporarily down, and you do see Lily trying to get the wagon with the scrolls, so there's plenty to do. Also, you are well aware that there are far more demons to come judging by the sounds of your companions....

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Simon groans in pain as he hits a pile of boxes. His Exorcism has been interrupted, and thus he will have to try again. He knows he holds two of them in his sway so he looks at them, "You two are on fire, stop drop and roll!"

He draws his pistol and takes aim, firing at one of the remaining  unsuggestable demons.

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Colin rushed forward as much as he dared. For him, a normally swift fight was preferred to a brawl, but he was decent at both. These demon things did not play by the rules. He was going to have to take those on the ground without the others noticing. He held his knife up cautiously in preparedness and he inched forward, trying to remain unseen as long as possible. His first target was the unfortunate soul to be possessed on the ground near him.

Stefan groans loudly as he brushes the pieces of crates from him. He was not prepared for the power of the beast. He pulled his derringer taking aim at the beast, but as he took his shot something felt off and he was not sure of the shot.

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

The demons under Father Simon's control obediently drop to the ground and start rolling. Under other circumstances it would be amusing, but currently you are too busy to enjoy the spectacle.

Stefan and Simon both miss their targets and the demons are closing in by now. They raise their hands, stopping in their tracks as they smile confidently. You both feel a squeezing in your chest as though your heart is being crushed. The pain is overwhelming...Meanwhile Lily starts to turn the wagon around, but stops and takes a shot at one of the demons, likewise missing.

ooc: Please post your next round of combat and please roll a fortitude save so I know how much damage you'll take.

Colin: You appear to go unnoticed and come upon one of the sleeping demons easily...

ooc: I think it's stupid to roll an attack against an unconscious person, so please just roll damage and double it for critical. I will roll his save to see if he lives.

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Simon felt the stifling attack as the pain struck him. His heart felt as though it were being crushed. Of course these monsters would fight back. He dropped to his knees not from pain but in supplication. He prayed for guidance. When he was done he opened his eyes and the monsters seemed less fearsome...

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Stefan left the pain and for a second felt fear, but he remembered what he was taught. It is the mind that has the power. If one gives in to the fear, then the mind will make what the demon was doing real. It will empower them and he would not give in to this. "I... vill... not... give... in... to... you... beast."

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Colin frowned at the man on the ground. It seemed a great wrong to slit a man's throat while he wasn't awake and upright. Then Colin remembered that these were no longer men. They were demon creatures from the bowels of hell sent to look like men. Without further hesitation, Colin placed the demon killing knife to the man's throat and gave him another smile that went from ear to ear.

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Father Simon and Stefan: You both feel as though a hand has been wrapped around your heart and has been squeezing it. You feel dizzy, nauseated, and most of all your heart feels as though on fire. Still, you manage to shake it off after much effort, though you aren't sure how much more you will be able to survive...By now they are almost upon you, looking incredibly confident and walking fast. Lily has the wagon with the cargo, but she is loathe to leave you and instead readies for another go at the attackers, this time with another tomahawk. You also see a man go up to one of the sleeping demons and slit his throat. You assume it must be one of the hunters that came in the second group.

ooc: Next round folks! ;D

Colin: As your blade enters the flesh there is a flash of light and the buzzing sound of pure power. Whatever these men of Letters did to your weapon is clearly most effective. The demon awakens and glares balefully at you with black eyes. He tries to sit up, gurgling and looking surprised to be dying. Blood pours from his throat and he moves as if to grab at you but it doesn't take long for him to bleed out, his eyes returning to their human state as they stare lifelessly at the stars above him.
ooc; Obviously he failed his fortitude save....

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Stefan shuddered under the attack, but somehow shook it off. He knew that is was his mind and will that pushed the attack back, but he was not as prepared for such an attack. He steadied himself once more drawing some blood and calling upon his power he begins to cast his spell. "Vita an nex audite meus dico. EGO dedi is cruor. Iam textus lemma angustus."

Life an death hear my call. I offer this blood. Now web them tight.

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Simon/Stefan: ooc: I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume Stefan just cast web? If I'm wrong let me know and I'll fix it!

As Stefan's spell is completed, a large silvery web forms, attached to a stack of crates and one of the ships, entangling one of the demons, though the other tumbles out of the way in time to avoid it completely. The demon in the web attempts to attack you as before, but he appears to be having difficulty concentrating. Meanwhile, the free demon is within range by now and he gives Stefan a swift backhand, sending you stumbling backwards with its strength. Release him and I will make your death quick. He growls. Meanwhile Lily hurls her tomahawk but misses, looking extremely frustrated. Get out of there you two! Fall back to me! She shouts desperately. 

ooc: Colin, let me know if you want to slit the other sleeping demon's throat or if you have something else in mind. If you do want to kill him as before, be sure to roll your critical damage again.

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Colin looked up in concentration from the body of the demon. He crossed himself and muttered in Latin a short prayer. He then darted towards the demon that had just swept the other man aside. He flipped the knife in a reverse grip and stopped short of the thing. He threw his normal knife at the thing, the knife sailing fast and apparently true.  He gave a cocksure smile. "Oi! Hands off the man! Come play with someone more your size," Colin taunted the creature with a come hither motion of his open hand. He noted the movement of the man, looking to turn any telling habits into advantages.



Declare free demon as dodge target.
Attack free demon with throwing knife.

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Colin's knife hits true, burying itself in the demon's stomach. However, since it is a normal blade and not the blessed one, it has little affect other than to distract and irritate the man. He turns towards you though, his hand outstretched and a rather nasty smile on his face. You really think your puny pigsticker will have any affect on me?He laughs. You feel a vice like grip around your heart as though he is squeezing it with his fist. It hurts like nothing you've ever experienced and it's all you can do not to sink to your knees. Fortunately, Father Simon's shot does more than get the demon's attention. He gives a cry of absolute fury and pain as the bullet buries itself in his back. He stumbles a moment, and you can see an almost electric sizzle in the flesh. Impossible!!! He snarls, turning his attention to the priest now in shock. It is clear he has been wounded by this, but he's still standing. Meanwhile Stefan seems to be regrouping from the blow he's recently received. The man does not look well. In the distance you hear gunshots firing continuously. They seem to have their hands full.

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Simon begins to recite the 23rd Psalm in English. Clearly not a prayer, he prays in Latin, more likely it is simply a way to steel himself for what is to come. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."

At the same time he thumbs the hammer and pulls the trigger again.

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Colin gasped and gripped his heart with his now free hand. He had never felt such pressure on his heart. Maybe in his head after a good night of drinking or after getting thumped pretty well by a nasty, but not like this. In an effort to alleviate the pain, he rushed forward, stumbling a few times as he did. He made a clumsy attack, but ensured that his defenses were not going to suffer. Last thing he needed was for a powerful foe to jump on a momentary lack of judgement. Now, if the demon saw a perceived opening and got his just reward for trying to take advantage...well, that made Colin smirk despite the pain.

Re: Chapter 2.1- A Precious Cargo

Father Simon's bullet hits the demon once more and this time he gives a scream of pain and rage. He nonetheless manages to evade Colin's attack, but he is less concerned with fighting back as he is with running. (attack of opportunity for those who want it!)The demon in the webs has broken free but he is still partly entangled and is moving very slowly the opposite direction in an attempt to escape. Lily has the cart now and waves at you to come over. We need to go, now! She shouts, looking a bit frantic as she is exposed and she is in custody of some rather valuable cargo. I will peel the skin from your faces! The master will feed your hearts to your loved ones when he catches you! The escaping demon snarls.

ooc: So you can take your AoO and either attack again with a ranged weapon, attack the second demon in the webs, kill a sleeping demon as there are a few, try to figure out what to do with the demons who are rolling around like fools, or just plain get the heck out of there! Plus, I'm sure there are a plethora of other options too. Just letting you know what the scene is. One running, one trying to get the rest of the way out from the web, one still asleep, one dead, and two rolling around on the dock. Next round! :D

Simon nodded to the Native Girl, helping her to her feet. "Right if you have what we came for lets push off." He also makes sure Stefan was coming. To Colin, "Sir we appreciate your help, but I fear you have made yourself a target. Are you a Hunter?"

If Colin says he is, then he is welcome to come along with them as well.
