“We got plenty of time to help out.”Michael walked over and helped Nefertiti move the debris out of the way. He also checked out this strange fruit hanging from the vines. “Anybody eaten this fruit before? How does it taste and is it filling?”

 Several of the locals offer the group a piece of fruit each, all saying that it tastes like cake and is extremely filling.

 With some time and effort, the group managed to help the people clear some rubble though there was still much to go and the day was getting closer to its end as the people outside began to head back in for the day.

OOC: everyone here gets a temporary willpower point that can exceed maximum value and is burned upon use as a reward for helping the locals.

 However, now nearby the group could hear the sounds of glass breaking and the sound of gunshots.

While helping the people she couldn't help herself in getting a fruit from the vein and sampling it.  It was drawing her to have a taste of its nectar.

When she heard the glass breaking and gunshots her head turned in that direction and then to Michael and Jay for she was ready to move and see what is happening and how to stop it.

Notes

 Nefertiti takes a bite of the fruit ad finds that its texture is reminiscent of baked goods moreso than fruit. It is soft, spongy, and sweet and eating the fruit (which is roughly the size of two normal human fists), she feels as though she's eaten a full meal.

Michael gave Nefertiti and Jay a nod for them to investigate. He quietly and deftly vaulted and flipped over debris and pits as if they weren’t even there on the way toward the sound. Once he had arrived in the general area of the commotion, he unsheathed his Zweihander and held it in a low stance. Waiting on the others to arrive and get into position, he tried to figure out what was going on.

22:34, Today: Michael rolled 2 successes using 7d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 8,8,7,7,2,7,7.  Athletics 4+Dexterity 3.
22:32, Today: Michael rolled 1 success using 7d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 4,6,5,4,5,7,9.  Stealth 3+ specialty 1+dex 3.

After eating one of the fruits she looks to see if there was more around here and where was the main roots of the vines coming from.

"Very tasty.  I would hope there is more of these around.

"Wraith, seek!" Jay called to the wiry patch of shadow that was his second canine companion and the animal darted away towards the sound to provide eyes-on. Meanwhile he whistled another command to Yuka to bring her to his side and accompanied Michael in his approach, though he moved more slowly, not trusting his weight on the loose piles of debris. As soon as his form was blocked from sight by any humans he had noticed he initiated his shift, bones and muscles stretching and toppling him forward onto all fours. A brief second later he emerged from his cover, now in the form of a horrifically large rottweiler, standing fully four feet at the shoulder and eight feet long and drooling long ropes of saliva from his snarling jaws.

With Yuka at her side she moved a bit quickly to the location where the commotion was taking place.  Her eyes scanned the area for any wounded people first near broken glass.

OOC: Sorry should have mentioned.... Spending 1 Essence to activate the anybeast gift to shift to Urshul, becoming a size 7 (grizzly bear-ish) dog

 Michael had seen Jay's terrifying transformation once before but that didn't make it any less horrific to see as Wraith darted forward as Yuka left Nefertiti's side to join Michael and Jay.

 As the three went through a street/alley, it opened into a parking lot with a church in the middle. Half man, half beast monsters had kicked in the doors and leapt through the windows. It seemed combat was occurring within.

The huge dog bellowed a resonating howl of challenge in the hope of drawing attention away from innocents and thundered towards the combat. He trusted in his pack to fulfil their roles, Yuka would be by his side while Wraith would hover at the outside, the spirit Red~Muzzle~Broken~Tooth would remain immaterial unless he was needed or a golden opportunity presented itself.

OOC: 21:24, Today: Jay rolled 1 success using 8d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s ((4,6,2,6,2,3,10(+2),3)). Perception

21:25, Today: Jay rolled 10 using 1d10+7 ((3)). Initiative

Nefertiti was a bit behind the rest but she was willing to allow those that were skilled at fighting to go first while she would aid when needed.

Watching the transformation of Jay was interesting but she wondered where did his clothes go....

Her eyes scanned the area as well to make sure there wasn't any other Halflings watching to attack later.


Initiative 4 + 6 + 1 (Celerity) = 11
16:42, Today: Nefertiti rolls of 4.  Initiative.

He had always been at least a little disturbed by Jay’s transformations, but it was a natural to the werewolf as the lord’s blessings on him so he wasn’t going to judge. Michael kneeled momentarily as he prayed first to St. George and then to St. Martin for the strength and protect to defend the weak against those who would defile a church of the Father. His muscles seemed to swell and veins pop out. Then a spectral, radiant armor covered his entire body complete with a set of bird-like wings and a halo hovering above his head. He looked to Jay and Nefertiti. “Time to go and say hi.”He charged through the front door to confront any of the creatures that would defile the church.

15:20, Today: Michael rolled 2 successes using 9d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 4,5,6,8,1,10(+5),3,5,5.  Armor of St. Martin.

 As Jay and Michael stepped through the front door, they saw a large bipedal wolf beast with baleful red and yellow eyes, slavering at the mouth with patchy black fur.

 Below him, on his back, was a young man scrabbling to his feet in an attempt to run away.

 Form back further in the church was the sound of another gunshot and one of the beasts went flying out the back door into the vestibule with a giant chunk torn out of him. It's wounds were still sizzling.

Stepping slightly to the side to see if she is able to see the direction the one beast that come from the back door went.  So to follow any drops of blood later.

As she stands there she looks over the Church for a moment.

Michael charged in with his hand gripping the mid hand guard on the sword using it almost more like a spear to stab the werewolf in the back twice with his silver Zweihander.

12:08, Today: Michael rolled 3 successes using 12d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling on 9 or more with rolls of 3,2,5,8,4,2,6,6,4,8,6,9(+6).  Half sword Double cut 2 on werewolf silver Zweihander .

12:07, Today: Michael rolled 2 successes using 12d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling on 9 or more with rolls of 4,3,5,3,6,2,4,10(+3),10(+2),6,2,4.  Half sword Double cut 1 on werewolf silver Zweihander .

Michael loses defense for the turn, but gets two attacks due to rank 4 Langschwert: Double Cut fighting technique that do aggravated damage to the werewolf. Any attack that hits has +2 aggravated damage from Rank 3 Langschwert: Half Sword technique. Overall, horrible rolls.

The massive rottweiler moved alongside Michael, bearing down on the target with a singular focus and a thunderous growl as he tried to clamp his jaws on the creature attacking the downed man.

OOC: 19:24, Today: Jay rolled 2 successes using 11d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s ((1,4,3,1,6,2,2,3,10(+6),9,6)). Bite Attack

 Michael's blade managed to pierce the beastling's hide as Jay's beast mouth clamped down. Though they were double teaming the beast, they were not nearly enough to bring it down. The beast slashed at Michael, for he was the more pressing threat.

Michael has trained for this and knew the beast would underestimate the timing of his attack. Just as the beast tried to claw him, he brought up his blade to bat its talons away.

23:50, Today: Michael rolled 4 successes using 13d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling on 9 or more with rolls of 7,2,10(+9,5),2,1,9(+1),9(+3),7,2,7,2,1,2.  Fool’s Guard w/Half Sword: strength 4+skill4+Specialty 1+weapon 4.

Used rank 2 technique of Langschwert style: Fool’s guard. Essentially, I roll my attack pool versus its attack to reduce the damage by the number of successes. Each success over the opponent equals damage against it from my weapon. Result was equal so no extra damage.

Nefertiti moved inside the building to see if she was able to help the others, as she entered into the building she witnessed how Michael's fighting skills and Jay's new form attacking the one Beastie in the room she also noticed there was a door leading else where.  Surely that was where the loud noise was came from.

She wasn't good at fighting but she had her staff in hand ready to attack if it came near her.

"Holy shit, another one? Did someone open the gates at the zoo?" Chance asked to no one in particular as another one of the furry death beasts rushed past him to attack the one that had tried to grope him. "And an angel? What in the hell is going on here?"

And then there was the dark, radiant beauty that followed after them. He felt there was a joke in there somewhere, and if he hadn't just been attacked by what he assumed was a werewolf, he'd have spent more time thinking on it. Instead, with the werewolf thing apparently being handled, he jogged over to the woman and asked, "who the hell are you guys?"

Examining each with Supernal Vision

Tried to find out more, but got 0 successes for the Unveiling Resonance

19:06, Today: Chance failed (no successes) using 6d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 5,7,6,5,1,7.  Unveiling Resonance.

Nefertiti looked at the very attractive man that was being attacked and then moving next to her as her two companions were attacking the one Beastie.

Turning to the man "It seems your savoir. she smiled as she then returned her focus on the Beastie and if it planned to follow the man next to her.

Seeing no real alternative, Jay continued his attack, worrying at hie foe with slavering jaws as Yuka darted in and out trying to distract the monster.

OOC: 10:23, Today: Jay rolled 6 successes using 11d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s ((7,7,8,10(+8),10(+6),7,8,7,4,9,2)). Bite Attack

 Michael parries the claw deftly as Jay clamps down on the beast, finally ending its life as a third beast exits the room where the gunshot came from, fangs dripping with gore and saliva, its companion now rapidly shifting back into human form.
