Pointing to a van with torchlight.  Three hooded figures

Remaining silent, Jay raised a questioning eyebrow to his companions. They knew nothing of what was happening here but there were few good things that came from gathering corpses.

OOC: Any particular spirit activity around them?

 As the group gathered at the top of the rubble to watch, they saw that there was a 10ft drop at the base of the rubble and, off to their left secluded behind a building, were piles of bodies that did not look fully human.

 Three men in robes carrying torches were loading the bodies into the back of a van and seemed to be almost done.

  "Looks like there are a few folks hunting these days. Do we stop them or not?" Hans asks. He isn't scared just unsure of himself. He is a confident fellow just the situation is kinda messed up.

She looked to Hans "Do you think we should allow them to defile the dead bodies of those that are there. Even if they are not all fully humans? there was a bit of harshness in her tone as she then looked to Jay and Michael to aid her in the task of not allowing them to defile the dead.

She was ready to jump down the rubble and move over to the dead pile where it was being looted.

“We definitely have to investigate. I’ll take out the tires and runners. He hit fast and hard. Do not kill them unless they use lethal force against you. Try to take them alive for questioning.”Michael easily hopped down like a cat landing on his feet. He readies his bow and darts to come around the other side of the building. He would be there to snipe them if they try to run.

She was glad that Michael was interested in investigating this as much as she was.  Moving along the building to give herself some cover till they were closer and Michael was able to take out what he called tires and runners.  Still she knew very little about these things but hoping that she will get a grip on them sooner than later.

 Nefertiti and Michael made the drop without incident with Michael setting himself up in a position to strike from afar while Nefertiti began to make her way up to them.

Keeping a slight distance but close enough to allow her AWE to captivate them if it was possible.

"What have we here she asked with a smile "Would you happen to need any assistance in gathering what you desire?

The hulking Dalu form that Jay currently wore jumped down from the pile with surprising agility and began to move directly towards the men, ensuring any of them heading for his companions would at least have to bend their run around his presence. Yuka and Wraith flanked him, sticking to the shadows with little real expectation of hiding their presence.

"Manifest behind them, brother," he whispered to Red~Muzzle as he approached, his close to 8-foot frame lending credence to Nefertiti's offer of help.

08:17, Today: Jay rolled 2 successes using 8d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 1,4,9,3,7,8,1,2.  Strength + Athletics + Spec.

If the 'jumping' speciality in athletics doesn't apply shout at me :)

 The men immediately draw weapons upon being startled but hesitate as they see a beautiful woman appear out of the dark. They almost seemed ready to speak until the monstrous murderwolf form emerged from the darkness behind her. They immediately began screaming and shooting as they retreated.

 In the dark and the panic, one missed entirely and the other two grazed him as the third member of Jay's pack finally revealed itself... a large ghostly wolf leapt onto one of them from out of the darkness.

Nefertiti moves for any cover and looks to be scared of the big beastie behind her. She will have to have a talk with Jay after this to let him know that sometimes it is easier to lure the bee to honey with a sweet temptation, instead of fear.

Her power of Awe was working but now its worthless cause of the fear and they are now fighting for their lives from a murderwolf.

  Hans brought up the rear behind Jay and ducked for cover when the firing started. For at least a few more minutes he didn't have to worry about the Hunts and the Others because he was getting shot at yet again. "Guess if I'm gonna be hanging around you guys I need to brush up on my modern firearms and combat skills." he quips not expecting a response at all.

Giving a bellow of pain and anger, Jay growled to his spirit companion as he approached the man the spirit was seated atop. "Do not hurt him, Red~Muzzle~Broken~Fang, perhaps he can tell us what he and his associates were about."

With the one being pinned down and the other two running to the big box thing, she allowed them to focus on that and knowing that Michael was on the other side ready to attack as well.  Not to let them escape.

Nefertiti turned to the pile of bodies and slowly walked around them hoping to unravel what is going on here and trying to see who might be alive still that she could help, if possible.

Michael was having a hard time seeing the robed figures in the dark despite the robes but aimed for the leg of one of them as they tried to run for the van.

22:36, Today: Michael rolled 1 success using 12d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 1,1,5,4,2,4,3,1,3,2,1,9.  Dex 3+skill 4+specialty 1+bow strength 5+arrow 1-called shot leg 2.

I believe that they are considered surprised and don’t get their defense against this attack

They did have torchlight for themselves so you should be able to see them a bit.

 Michael manages to tag one of them in the leg with an arrow as they pile into the van and speed off, the back open with the bodies inside exposed as they left, leaving behind the one man in robes pinned beneath the giant wolf spirit.

 The cultist stares at the spirit wolf, remaining quite still as the wolf watches intently, tense and ready to strike at a moment's notice.

"Easy, friend," it wasn't really clear which of the two combatants Jay was speaking to, but either way it was in about as conciliatory tone as he could manage with his jutting, bestial jaw. "No-one will be hurt if you stop struggling. What were you up to here?". Crouching to examine the bodies, he shifted down into his slightly less intimidating human form again.

Nefertiti watching in awe as the big box machine moves down the pavement in an accelerated speed.  It was something that she never saw before and it was something that she couldn't sense being run by magic.

Moving over the bodies she tried to help those that were able to be helped out of the pile and see if they can be of any use for extraction.  Helping these first then she will want to have some time with the robed cultist.

 The cultist eyed away from the spirit to the man wolf that was Jay. He was frightened but his words were clear. "In the storm! The Harvester escaped! The Agents must be purified lest the Harvester reap the world clean!"

 As Nefertiti pulled the first body from the pile, she could plainly see that it was not human. These creatures had been beaten, burned, shot, stabbed, and dismembered... worse yet, some had survived being thrown on the pile and the collection of dirt and grime on them suggested that they had been exposed to the storm.

 … and, yet, many still clung feebly to life, struggling to survive even though their bodies had all but failed.

 One of them reached up and grabbed at Nefertiti's arm, looking deeply into her eyes. Though its skin was pale white and it did not look human at all, she could still see fear in its eyes. "Please stop! I don't want... to die."

 However, that grasp was the last of its strength and its grip weakened as it seemingly lost consciousness.

Nefertiti looked at the pile and she began to weep over the feelings that was emitting from them.  When one reached to take her arm and with the fear in its eyes she gasps as the form then wen limp.

It seemed that there was a lot of bodies here and she didn't know what to really do with them.

Looking to Michael and Jay "What do you think is best for them?  There is some still alive but their bodies are in very bad shape.  I don't think I'm able to heal so many without causing myself harm. the sadness in her eyes was there.


Was a quick death best for them or was there a way to save them. This was all new territory for her and she never seen such creatures before.  They weren't human.
