Simon is rushing to get Lily to safety. Her question catches him off guard. "Lily I know very little of Wendigo other than they are demons created out of cannibalism. Perhaps you have begin to see evil in other places and are having the same reaction. I pretend nothing, Lily. You are the woman I love, the woman I intend to marry. That is wholly true and not mere conjecture on my part."

The sound and smells within caught Darren's attention and his instinct to protect his friend took over and Darren moved into action, his adrenaline coursing through him, empowering him to action. Darren released a roar right before charging into the woman who was treating rudely.

" I'm coming!", Darren shouted just before making contact. Darren wasn't sure what he was doing was the right call but he had already taken the action now and had to follow through. Assuming Darren lived, he'd have to determine later if this action was the right one.

Darren: You are able to force the door open to her surprise, but you realize it's most likely because she wasn't expecting it rather than a lack of strength on her part. You realize this particularly because she brings a fist smashing into your jaw and it hurts far more than a woman's fist has a right to cause. You are inside now, and as you ready against this lunatic woman, you see to your horror the room is littered with bodies. Well, what's left of them. The pieces strewn about have clearly been eaten on  by something. With a screech of rage she lunges at you again...

ooc: Ok, go ahead and roll your next round. Her AC is 20 so you will know if you hit or miss and can post accordingly. I appreciate the detailed way you've posted thus far so I don't have to look up your AC, etc. Go ahead and roll your attack and damage totals as well as your intentions and as the fight continues keep me abreast of your hit points too please. I don't worry about initiative when it's one on one so much so you can ignore that for the moment if you like and just go for it. Also, if you want to roll a knowledge check you can determine if you have any idea of what she may or may not be. I think that should cover it! Also, you'll be joined by Josephine quite soon.

Jo: You make it to the inn by hansom cab. The door is wide open and even from the walkway you can see a man and woman struggling inside!

Simon: She looks up at you in shock at the last part, green eyes wide. Well aren't you confident? she grins after recovering. What makes you think I'll say yes? There's a teasing glint to her eyes, but you can tell she's still worried about her previous question. The rest of it has definitely distracted her though and you can tell she's touched and also quite surprised.

Having seen witches that were female, and knowing that the guy she's supposed to be saving is named Frederick, Josephine did the only obvious thing a clearly thinking woman would do in this situation...

Charged the woman, and jumped on her,

"Don't worry Frederick, I'm here to save you!" she shouted, leaping at the woman to tackle her and drag her down...




Rolled an 18, no idea what my mods are! And he has 173 hp, holy shit!

Simon shrugged, "I don't know for sure, but I have a good idea. I just have to save up for a ring...oh wait I don't make any money." He smiled at his own self deprecating humor.

Darren: To your surprise a blonde woman rushes through the door and attacks the stranger, shouting something about saving Frederick. At first it seems she is doing well, but the dark woman is clearly the stronger and they wrestle a bit, giving you a nice opening... ooc: Go ahead and post for an attack of opportunity as well as a regular attack :)

Jo: pm

Simon: What would an Indian need a ring for anyway? she smirks. Not that that's a yes mind you. I haven't been properly asked yet after all. You'll just have to live with uncertainty until then she wrinkles her nose in a laugh. Then her face falls somewhat. Are you sure it's safe? Being with me? When my memory goes...people die.

Simon nodded, "You've never so muched as given me a strange look. I am unafraid of you"

AoO rolled (20) total, hit. 13 dmg.
Standard attack rolled (22) total,
Hit 15 dmg. Ability surge: 5rounds left
Dx all nonleathal damage

Oh, I'm a tank, baby...only good thing about a focused tough hero with a high Constitution

Adrenaline coursed through his views, Boon was suprised by this dame's strength but he was more suprised at the scene around him. Darren, however let the battle focus him. Darren did like always, putting up his guard and letting his mass and endurance win the fight fore him.

Darren threw a punch that connected solid. He felt it and used his street smarts to drill it home doing a little more damage. As he drew back to turtle up, a blonde woman crashed into the crazed dame.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, Darren took the opportunity to get a free hit in. His father haD always said not to hit a woman but judging from his surroundings he doubted she was a proper one.

Josephine had no idea what she was doing, so she did the ultimate move and grabbed for some hair,

"Stop fighting unless you want to be shot!  My friend behind me has a big enough gun to make it difficult to identify your body!" she tried, still wrestling and pulling hair.

Darren/Jo:
Darren's blows obviously shock her, though she withstands them better than any human woman has the right to. You're definitely dealing with something here. She is about to retaliate but the strange blonde tries again frantically to help. Now that you have a better view of things you realize perhaps she is not as strong as she appeared (Jo) now that the crazed thing has a chance to ready herself.
She simply pulls away from the hair grab so that disturbingly a chunk of it remains in Josephine's fist. If it pains her she doesn't show it. Instead she gives an animalistic snarl of rage and strikes Jo hard across the chest, sending her reeling backward.

ooc: Next round! Sorry I'm in a bit of a rush. Crazier week than expected so if I miss something I do apologize.

Simon: She listens with a small look of relief but worry still hides beneath. Hopefully it stays that way. Come, let's hurry before the police arrest me. I'll need to wash this off somewhere though, and change my clothes. I don't know how I'm going to explain this to the doctor so I may need to hide until we can figure that out. There aren't many Indian women in town that I've seen, I'm probably going to stand out.

Simon nodded, he had an idea. There were a lot of people here he still knew. He lead her to abbey, and asked for the monsignor. He ignored any odd looks from the peanut gallery and waited for man in charge. "I need your help. Can you get her cleaned up and...maybe...a habit?" No one would look twice at her if she were dressed as a nun.

Josephine winced as she was hit, grabbing her chest and sliding back a foot. Holy crap this woman was strong!

Now she had no doubt that she was dealing with a witch, or something similar, and she stepped to the side, hoping to give the big man a better shot/angle at her, and instead of just recklessly attacking, she darted in when the big man went for another shot, and dove at the woman's legs, trying to prevent her from avoiding his attacks, and tripping her up.


Is there an "aid another" action in this game, where I roll a basic DC 10 or something attack, and instead of attacking, I grant him a +2 or something?

EDIT: I rolled a 14, success! I grant him +2 to whatever he's doing!

The young reD head wasn't sure what to make of everthin except this crazed lady was in a house of bodies and the lovy Blonde seemed to have a similar goal. Darren used the blonde's wrestling to buy time to slip his hands into his pocket and draw up his knuckle dusters.

Darren withdrew his hands now wearing a matching pair of metallic knuckle dusters. Wanting to end this before fatigue washed him Darren drew back his fist putting all his power into his punches. His first jab connected solid to the crazed dame's face. Darren's follow up missed coming up short perhaps more from his being unprepared for the raw power his first hit had behind it.

Darren showed little sign of fatigue but the gleam in his eye showed his inner animal was enjoying this. " That's fer tha folks here, Darren said with a smirk.
Thanks for the assist. I'd missed both without it xD. rounds left for Ability surge: 4

Simon: The monsignor looks startled at the bloodied woman before him, nodding slowly but asking why. He will accept your need though, should you give him even a slightly good reason and in that respect it doesn't take long for Lily to change. She looks completely at a loss for words, gaping at the habit as though she wants to rip it off. At last she stammers, This feels....wrong on so many levels. All I can think of is the nuns at school who used to give me such trouble. That and this thing is going to catch fire with me in it

ooc: I'll catch you up to the others soon Simon.

Darren/Jo: Jo is more a nuisance than anything to the woman but any help helps. She takes Darren's punch well, though anger flashes in her cold eyes, and returns him one straight to the jaw, which fortunately is made of strong stuff, leaving him upright in spite of the power of the blow. Whatever she is, she's not human to hit like this.

ooc: Next round, also please roll knowledge checks to see if you can piece together theories of what she is. Even if you don't have ranks in it, as hunters you'll have some inkling if the roll is any good. Thanks!

Simon's vague explanation is that there was a fight, which she won. He smiled at Lily's complaining. "Just keep your eyes down. No one will question a Nun, it would be unseemly. Remember it is for Victoria."

Rolled a 5 on Knowledge and my second attack missed.
(Boon) rolled 3
(Boon) rolled 11 =14 on one hit
18:44, Today: Darren (Boon) Calhoun rolled 18 using 1d20+7.  Power attack punch w/o aid another. I forgot to add bonuses from brawl feats, it makes it a hit
Ability surge: 3 round left


Darren had flexed his muscles, bracing for the impact. He wasnt nimble by any means but he'd takwn plenty a beatings growing up in Boston, despite this, this woman hit like a mule. Darren considered what he knew and mulled it over a moment while he brought up his guard looking for an opening.

Coming up with bumkis Darren shrugged and threw his weight into his punches. He could feel the additional power ebbing, fatigue was coming soon. He just hoped the blonde might know how to end the crazy.

" 'ey, pretty dame...d'ya know what this thin' is? Darren said adressing Jo before sending out two more hard jabs, the first landing but just. The second went wild as the crazy dodged.

" If'n ya can stop 'er do it, I can fend 'er off fer now," Darren said through pants. He was fine but an after effect exerting himself like he was.

Raising an eyebrow at the man's first question, Josephine shook her head,

"Maybe a demon?" she guessed, stepping back a foot from the woman to give herself space.

When he asked her to stop the girl, she paused a moment, then shrugged, reaching back and pulling her 12 gauge shotgun from her back with a cute smile,

"Ok!"

...and then she fired.



14 attack roll
10 damage

Darenn/Jo: The woman gets a blow from Darren in the neck, but recovers well. Her strength clearly lies in her toughness. As tempting as it is to label her a demon, there are a few things that don't add up. Unfortunately for both of you, a fight is a poor time to try to puzzle out such answers and nothing springs to mind.

Jo's shot goes wide, but the woman is unconcerned, not fearful of the firearm in the least. It should be interesting if Jo ever hits, considering it is no normal shotgun, but the woman has no way of knowing that yet. In response she clocks Darren again, hissing at Jo, When I'm done with the brute I'll rip your pretty little face off and eat it

ooc: Well the knowledge checks didn't go well...lol! Go ahead and try a spot for me both of you and roll your next round

Father Simon: Yes. For Victoria. Perhaps I don't mind that I ripped that woman's liver out after all she mutters. It's an almost comical statement considering her attire.

Soon you go back to the doctor's where you find Victoria asleep and Jo gone. A quick questioning of the doctor reveals she had asked for directions to Stalder street, an area Simon would have heard of.

ooc: Timing wise I'm just waiting another round or so before I have you join the others.

Spot : 20 total
Heroic surge : 2/3 daily uses left
Ability surge: 2 rounds left
Attack 1 : rolled 21 doing (24)dmg
Attack 2 : rolled 21 doing (14)dmg

Think the roller bugged or I got lucky for once also I didnt know about the blessed weapons! Are my silver knuckles blessed?

The young auburn haired brawler was starting to show fatigue, his brow had sweat drops beading up, his breathing though controlled was starting to show signs of becoming labored. Darren could normally fight for hours but he had tapped his muscles for more than their usual capacity and that always took it out of him. Darren'S eyes watched his opponent for equal signs, hoping it was waning in resistance.

Hearing the bat threaten the blonde beauty was the motivation Darren needed however causing the youth's eyes to take on a harder edge. Darren dug deep and went on the offensive striking with more speed and equal force. A straight hard jab landing hard in the bat's face followed by a weaker but effective hook to the jaw and finishing with a strong uppercut. Each hit resounding, each hit backed by force and Darren's mass. Breathing hard but smirking smuggly, Darren resorts to his guard hoping the bat had enough.

"Bats, ya aint gettin' past this here brute...," Darren said feeling smug and knowing he could have fell men twice this bat's  size with the hits he landed

OoC: C-c-c-Combo!

"That's not very nice to say to somebody whose going to be in charge of your funeral arrangements!" Josephine called out, swinging the shotgun around to fire it once more, blasting with everything she had.


24 attack roll, yay!
13 damage roll, except I forgot my point blank shooting stuff last round, I added them this round.

Don't worry Darren, I have the precise shot stuff so I don't have to worry about hitting you :) also, if I kissed your knuckles, they'd feel blessed... you can always try that :P

Simon lifted a brow. "Seems our young pigeon has flown the coop. Lets get over there and make sure she isn't harmed."

ooc: For time's sake I rolled your spots

The woman is fatiguing too, starting to look stressed between both of your efforts, and eyeing around her as though for an escape. She is still able to take a surprising amount of damage, but looks startled by how it is affecting her. Considering her strength and the half eaten bodies around you, you wonder if this could be a ghoul...For Darren, that theory is confirmed when you spot a similar looking body in the corner, closely matching the woman you're fighting now, at least from what you can see that's left of her. Ghouls are known to take the form of the last person they've eaten. It only makes sense.

Head shots are the best course with a ghoul, though with your blessed weapons you may be able to chip away at her anyway.

Meanwhile, as you're piecing this together, she decides that perhaps Jo is the easier target and she slams her fists hard into the poor woman. Twice.

Simon: It takes a bit of time to find an available cab. The local police are doing quite a bit of questioning considering the murder, but they don't seem to notice you two yet, thankfully the habit is doing its job.

Eventually you come to the street, a row of residential houses from the looks of it, though an inn stands in the middle of them, a large sign out front though it looks pretty quiet from the street. That is until you hear the shotgun blast...

ooc: I'm going to wait another round before you join them, but feel free to make any preparations in the meantime!

Simon shook his head, "Can't leave her alone for five minutes. Come on then." He drew his pistol and reloaded it.

Josephine grunted in pain as she was hit not once, but twice, but she reloaded like a trooper, and grit her teeth, pulling the trigger once again. She nearly hit the window with her shot, and her mouth opened up wide in surprise as the shot went errant, unfortunately missing the woman,

"Stop... hitting us!" she gasped in between dodging, "We just want to talk, and get your... perspective... on current... fashion!" she taunted the woman, trying to keep her face from being pulverized.




That's a miss, I'm not even adding it all up, lol
