John/Stefan/Father Simon:

Westbrook has organized your team with expertise. There are two teams ready for the delivery at the harbor. The first consists of the three of you as well as Lily, the Indian woman with the spirited eyes. She seems to be in charge, though she mentions that Stefan has been given equal partnership in this particular outing. The second team will be waiting in the distance should you run across more trouble than you can handle. It appears to consist mostly of hunters, though in this case they seem more like soldiers than anything else. Their hard eyes and faces depict them as seasoned warriors and it is a relief to have them at the ready. Hopefully there is enough of them though....

As you exit the wagon and head towards the docks, you look at your surroundings. Night has fallen and the gas lamps flicker and hiss as you approach the water. There are many ships, though things are surprisingly quiet. An almost eerie stillness covers the area and all you hear is the sound of the water and an occasional seabird. Lily frowns and pulls out a scrap of paper. Well, according to Kimi's notes the delivery should be to a ship called the Black Rose. I have no idea which one it is. Do we dare split up? She looks uncertain.

Simon motion for them to close ranks. "Whether we divide ourselves or not, give me a moment. Please place your weapons here in the middle and your ammunition."

He takes out his own revolver, removing the chamber and then three more chambers all full. He gestures for them to place their weapons with his own. He takes the Aspergillum from his bag and scatters holy water on them while reading from his prayer book inside his Bible.

"Et dixit Dominus: 'In trecentis viris qui lambuerunt aquas, liberabo vos, et tradam in manu tua inimici: omnis autem reliqua multitudo revertatur in locum suum.' "*

*And the Lord said, "By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Enemy into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place." Judges 7:7, paraphrased

Cast Bless Weapon on the weapons made available.

When he finished he returned his tools to his bag, reloaded his weapon, and put the spare ammunition into his pocket. "These weapons will be far more effective against supernatural evil creatures. They will act normally against people. I strongly urge you not to use these weapons against people, who are Children of God and deserving of a chance to repent."

John placed his revolvers in front of the priest as instructed, if he were to look closely the holy man may notice four names carved into the wooden grip of each gun. Dinah, James, Sarah, Robert. "I've seen more than a few men Ah'd label as evil too Father, but Ah'll do mah best not to shed any more blood than we have to."

In reply to Artemis (msg # 1):

Stefan shook his head no. "Ve do not know vhat ve vill be facing. I vould dhink dhat dhey vill have dhis vell guarded for it is very important to dhere cause. I vould radher 'ave da team stick together at dhis point, but I am open to suggestions."

Stefan takes his cane and derringers out placing them down the for good father to bless once he is finished he picks them back up and waits for the others to respond.

Simon looked at both John and Stefan, "For a ranged weapon, I must bless the ammunition. Put your bullets down and let me bless those, ok?"

My fault I did not read the spell description thoroughly enough.

Stefan removes the bullets from the derringers and his spares placing them down for the Father to bless. He then slides the sword cane out and places it there for his bless as well. "I am not sure if your blessing covered da blade or not. Vill it need ta be blessed separately?"

Simon nodded for Stefan to place his sword in the weapons. "It will be blessed as well."

Lily likewise puts her weapons in the pile. She has several throwing knives, small three small tomahawks, and a shotgun. As everyone puts their weapons away she gives a nod at Stefan's suggestion. Very well Doctor. I will take your advice. The second team will shadow us at a safe distance, but they should be ready in case things get out of control. Still, things may go sour faster than we are ready for if we're not careful. I have no idea which of these ships is the one we want but we had best find it quickly. Keep your eyes sharp and stay close. She frowns. Your weapons have been upgraded and are now effective against demons. They can kill lower demons, but if there are any of higher power it will be a lot more difficult. Still, we may live through this if we're careful. Let's go.

She leads the way to the eerily quiet docks. The hour is not late yet, but it is dark. The fact that there is no one in sight is very unusual and you can't help but feel tense and uneasy.

ooc: Roll spot/search/and listen please

Stefan looked at her taking her in and was a bit surprised for he thought they were told the ship. "I dhought it vas da Black Rose?"
