"Hey beautiful want to come untie me whilst those folks kill each other or are you here to finish the job that the insane preacher started?" he wastes no time working the angle in the room. "What is going on and where are the police when you need them? Gotta be more careful with my clients. And vette them better in the future."he mumbles to himself more to distract himself from the pain than anything else.

The huge hound roared again, although whether it was because of the new foe that had presented itself or being called beautiful by the bound man was distinctly unclear. Upon completing his bellow he rushed the new target, jaws seeking purchase.

OOC: 00:09, Today: Jay rolled 5 successes using 16d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s ((10(+4),3,7,10(+3),4,9,9,4,5,7,6,1,3,7,5,9)). Bite Attack + WP + All-Out

Looking into the room she was a bit shocked to see another man, but this one tied up.  Moving to help him but making sure the Beastie don't come after her and she allowed Jay and Michael to deal with it while she helped the people as best as she could.

"Preacher she replied softly.  It only showed that the preacher was of a false god and allowed such things to happen.  It only gave her reasons to further her own mission later.

"Be still while I try, but if you turn into something nasty my friends will rip you in two. she said to the man tied up.

Michael charged the new foe and stabbed it right in the gut.

19:17, 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 6,2,3,7,8,6,5,2,5,9(+9,2),3,5.  Strength 4+skill 4+specialty 1+sword 4-Half sword 1 on werewolf.

Werewolf takes 5 aggravated (3 from successes +2 from Half Sword). Another crappy roll

 With Jay locking onto the neck and Michael thrusting his giant 2 handed blade through its vitals, the beast came crashing down to the ground. It quickly began to transform back into a human.

 Nefertiti began to untie Hans as the group recovered from the fight. Father Gregory was gone and Tammy was nowhere to be found.

Nefertiti now looked at the two new men and the body that the one was chopping on "Are you both alright?  What happened here? she asked in a calming tone.

She took a step toward Jay's new form making sure no one moves to attack him.

  As he gets up he runs his wrists. "No ma'am if I could shift my shape into a giant slavering beast I would not have gotten caught by these amateurs. Now if you could tell me where I am and if you have a phone or a way to contact some friends of mine I will see if I can't prevent them from leaving."

Chance looked at Hans, a smirk growing on his face, "Wait, so you're saying that old preacher and his fairly incompetent sidekick captured you? What the hell did you do to incur their wrath, excessive littering?"

Nefertiti looked to Michael when the one she untied started asking question and wanting something called a phone.

Moving over to near her companions as these two men wished to talk to each other.

"Michael shall we search this place to see if there are more hidden things? she asked.

Seeing the conflict had ended, Jay unleashed a final howl of victory to inform the local spirits of the action and shrank back into his Hishu form amid a profusion of popping joints and cracking bones. These others already knew of the existence of Werewolves thanks to the recent conflict so he didn't concern himself with secrecy from them, and when he emerged he was fully clothed, as he had been prior to changing. As a man he stood a mere 7'6". The big man gave his accompanying dog a grateful scratch behind her ear and joined the others as they gathered. "Is everyone well?"

Looking to Jay "I am well.  But these two might need something.  That one is asking for a she paused to think "a phone. giving him a puzzling look.

  "I'm a private investigator by trade. I had a couple of folks hire me to investigate the area. They got the drop on me. So now I owe them a couple of broken bones. They were trying to beat a confession about a little girl out of me." he looks at the werewolf as he asks about being fine. "I'm good just in some pain."

Her thoughts were on Hans "A little girl.  Why would they be asking you about a little girl. What did she do?

  "They thought I kidnapped her. She didn't do anything as far as I am aware." he explains.

"The people that hired you attacked you?" Jay shook his head, he was glad he had few dealings with normal humans these days, very few of them had honour enough to stick to their agreements beyond self-advancement. "And if there's a child lost with the city in this state we must try to find her." He dropped to his haunches and whispered to what appeared to be a patch of empty space. "Red~Muzzle~Broken~Tooth, seek out spirits of fear and anxiety for me, but don't engage anything alone. Find this lost child if you can and come back to us."

 "No they didn't hire me. And I doubt there is a missing child they are crazy after all." he clarifies.

She thinks for a moment "If someone is seeking a little girl, it could be that they are her parents.  Do you think that could be the case, and they were seeking their missing daughter? she asked in a calming tone.

Looking to Jay as he spoke and she focused on the area around him to see if she was able to see who or what he was speaking to...

 Jay seemed to speak to no one in particular as if that were the norm for him.



OOC: so search the church or leave?

OOC: Searching the Church... if no one else wants to join she will do so herself.

OOC: Jay will assist in searching, going so far as to assign a dog each to Nefertiti and one other searcher to help in sniffing out anything unusual.

 The top level of the church seemed relatively normal, aside from the arsenal stashed in the back. Guns and blades of varying descriptions, molotovs, and silver.

 What was unusual was the basement, which had been modified into what appeared to be a torture chamber of sorts, with chairs and leather straps, along with various, seemingly well used, surgical tools and other, more esoteric items.

Nefertiti looked at the place and it was defiled, surely not a holy place anymore and it would take a very long time to cleanse the foulness from the walls, floors, grounds and air.  This place wasn't a safe place for anyone for the Spirits would claim this place soon enough.

"It seems that the people have come up with many new ways to torture one for answers or to convict. calmly saying as she has seen things that were horrible to many but still this didn't want to make the sweet fruit that she ate to come up.

Looking to the two new men "I am Nefertiti and this is Jay and Michael.  Who might you be?   Seeing that we sort of saved you from a deadly or more painful day.

Jay looked around the basement disparagingly, gathering anything of material value to be moved to Michael's building. The place was quickly affirming itself as the hub of the territory he planned to claim. "When we have everything of value, whether goods or information, this place needs to be cleansed. I dislike the smell such evils exude."

The angel cut the heads off the creatures after they turned human just to be sure. You never knew when these things were playing possum. Michael cleaned the blood off his blade and took a look around the room. He was very quiet during the exchange between Jay, Nefertiti, and the man who had been tied up. His heart was sad at the desecration and death that had to occur in the house of the Lord. The celestial armor and wings lit up the room like sunlight as they investigated the building. He recognized immediately the cache of weapons and what it meant. Hunters.

When the torture chamber in the basement was discovered, Michael’s face visibly twisted in anger. “Such an abomination right under the nose of the congregation? Blasphemous!”He took a few seconds to calm himself down. This was no doubt the safe house of a hunter cell. It was a conundrum. He didn’t want to destroy the safe house of fellow hunters, but how could he allow such evil to be allowed to continue again?

He looked to Jay. “Jay, has the actions here turned the torture table into a locus? Regardless of if it is or not, we will take the cache with us and return home. I’ll leave a note for the hunters here to meet with us if they want their cache back where we can talk about their actions here. I don’t believe they are too far gone from redemption if another man of the faith can speak reason to them.”Henry loaded himself up with weapons and silver from the cache and left a note in the cabinet. <<I have also lit my Candle here in town. The dogs have been taken care of. Your cache has been claimed by me for safe keeping in case you didn’t return or away for too long. We will need to discuss your actions conducted in the basement. I am Michael and you can locate me at the address below. Do not try and pull anything sneaky. I just want to talk and know your tactics. -Father Michael>>The address of the Haven was written at the bottom.

  "I am Hans Drakonov formerly of the Danish military and currently a private investigator as I said before. Normally my cases are a little less dangerous than this. Cheating husband, Little Tommy is buying drugs from Los Noches on 45th and Haight. That sort of thing. This one was a bit more dangerous as there had been rumors of people going missing in this area. I am at bit of loss as to what your friend means by Hunter. Hunter of what exactly and why?"
