ooc: Ok, I'm going to be merging everyone into one thread again, at least for the time being. I think we're only down to 5 players now so we'll see how everyone does in one thread for a smidge. You will still be splitting up naturally here and there due to the nature of the storyline, but I'm going to see how it goes with everyone together for a bit since there are fewer of you. Just be sure to not get too far ahead of those who can't post as often as others.

Kimi: ooc: Go ahead and post your rolls here from now on if you would be so kind :) I believe the next move is yours.

Father Simon/Colin: Lily looks amused at Father Simon's disapproving reaction to the Irishman but stays out of it. Thank you Father. I will send someone up to relieve you straightaway after I find Victoria. She informs you reassuringly. It was quite a fight indeed Mr. Browne. We're lucky to have survived it! Thank you for your help in that. I have a feeling you will be a fine addition here. She says approvingly. She moves to open the secret entrance to the tunnels and as she does you suddenly hear the sounds of a scuffle from below. ooc: I took the liberty of rolling your listen check Colin ;P

Kate/Penny: You take the hansom cab back to the headquarters and find Frederick out front looking expectant. Ian carries Penny and the red haired man looks concerned at the sight. Ian quickly explains that she will be alright and the fellow eases up a bit. What happened? Did you find anything out? We had quite the run in at her home. We were nearly caught, Kimi practically saved me singlehanded. He shakes his head. We found a journal of sorts I think. But it is written in a language I'm not familiar with. I'm hoping our boys can translate it somehow. The place was rather heavily warded. Nasty little spell too, made ya spit up bloody pins. He shudders at the memory.

Again with reflexes born from determination, Kimi went for the heart.

She yelled out "TO ME!!!" as she drove the stake down.

Simon nodded to Lilly and let them leave. He was ready to make himself useful if anyone else needed.

Still held by Ian, Penny answered Frederick with 'Kate suffered the same. We had a scrap with the Bentlys and their shifter minion. I'm afraid we learned little of use, and what we did learn is highly disturbing. But, by Jove, we gave the Bentlys what-for!' she boasted with British triumph.

'Wait, who nearly caught you? Both Bentlys were surely out of the house at the time, leaving only the maid.' Penny asked, trying to puzzle out what other minions or staff the Bentlys had.

Colin smirked at the priest. "Aye, father, I should watch me tongue. I can't promise it will stay civil, but all we can do is try," he said as he began to shrug out of his shirt. He threw the thing down in a bloody heap and started to inspect his injuries. He spoke again without looking up. "So, what was all tha fuss 'bout?"

"We did kick ass" Kate threw in with Penny's excited triumph. "How did the others do at the docks?" If Fredrick and Kimi had problems at the Bentley's house no doubt the others had a confrontation of their own.
