Yay, we're back :D  I'm out of town right now, but I'll try to get a post up soon!

Hmm, is Nef using a telepathic ability here?  It reads like she's just speaking aloud, and I'm not sure Mist can hear it unless she's actively spying :P  GMs, can I hear it?

 Pretty sure Archmages (of Space, at least) can hear when their names are invoked.

Is Noah's portal still open?

It will last the scene or until its broken.

Hows everyone doing out there?

Been a bit quiet here so checking in.

Good. Just waiting to see what happens next.

Same here.

 So, is there anything you guys want to do during this?

I'm searching in the sunken palace for any life signs.  If nothing shows then I will be reaching out to find a Teacher for my Arcana

 Ahhh! My eyes!

 I will resume posting when the background isn't making my eyes bleed.

I guess I'll go hang out with Dracula while he tears the city asunder and feasts on the blood of hundreds of mortals ;P

"This is fine" she said, as the flames licked all around!

OMG Noah, kudos for putting the city to sleep with a fantastic APC song :D  Recognized it from the first lyric!

Dunka

First time I used everything. X.x pulled a mana muscle.

Should Michael and Fate come out to play too?

 Well, you CAN, for sure (especially now).


 You know, sometimes I feel like I end scenes abruptly... but I don't necessarily like to linger in places where the players aren't front and center. I like to think I've dragged you guys along enough for this scene... so now back to you and exactly how the group plans on handling the fallout of this crusade :P

Lol I had posted this before I looked into the IC thread and read the end result. I guess two things: 1) Glad Michael ditched the Hunters before Dracula showed up, 2) we can all just disappear back at pace or go after a god while the city wonders what the heck happened. I suppose we could talk to the Mages to let them know the Hunters are no more.

I think this is perhaps the 4th or 5th major cataclysm to befall the NYC area on our watch, that some of us had a hand in to varying degrees?  Rationalization of upsides is getting increasingly challenging :P

Michael is probably now the highest ranking hunter in the city by default, so I guess there's that?

Can we teleport the bodies off onto that graveyard island and call it a day? Michael can run around with a bucket of water and rags to clean up the blood lol.

Going to wait to post till Michael does. Its not every day a holy warrior gets their hand on a real holy avenger.

Michael should know Abbot Cavera right?

 Yes. He's one of the higher ups in the Malleus Maleficarum. If Dracula was gunning for him, it was likely him who gave the order for the Hunters to occupy New York.

 Also, Michael, it has been a very long time since the scene happened so it's probably been forgotten but Michael would know that many Hunter bases have "interrogation rooms" aka "torture chambers".

 It would also probably be prudent for Michael to want to gather the research of the Maleus Maleficarum that was left behind. It may just be seen as the ravings of madmen but there are lots of potential things that may go poorly if that stuff finds its way into the wrong hands.

Ah yes I forgot about that.

Sal was opening the werewolf girl's manacles. Michael was helping the changeling. Not that I think that should affect Sal's current mental struggle, I just wanted to make sure to clarify who Sal was interacting with.

Also, just to make things clear: The dark blue, italicized portion of my post is Sal's thoughts. His words have quotation marks around them.

 That's fair (but also the changeling would have died anyway if someone hadn't taken off his chains).


 Also, Sal does not currently see the call that is happening in Nefertiti's thread.
