Michael, Jay, Nefertiti, and Hans made their way back to Haven, though it was up to Jay to lead the group to someplace they could rest. Night had fallen while the group was searching the church and now the darker beings of the supernatural world stalked the streets.

 Even though many of the buildings were now gone, the vines and rubble made the darkness claustrophobic, especially with the street lights out. With only the beams of flashlights to illuminate the night, strange shiftings in the surrounding rubble make it seem as though there is a predator behind every pile.

Thus far, Jay had spent his nights sleeping in wolf-form in order to keep warm. With the addition of two extra bodies that were unable to pierce Michael's wards something more substantial needed to be established. He issued instructions to the two dogs and the spirit accompanying him, asking them to seek for safe shelter as close as possible to Haven itself and set to seeking for an appropriate area himself.

Nefertiti looked at Chance as he left the group to find his own way in the city.  She too wondered if there was any others like her in the city that she could talk with but still she had a lesser chance of finding a being like herself than he would.

As they moved during the night her eyes slightly sparkled as she was allowed to see in the darkness with no trouble and her sight became better while she wished it to be.

Michael was reminded of why he wanted to get back to the Haven before nightfall. It was also a reminder of why it was good to have an Uratha as an ally. He had his flashlight baton in his left hand helping him see while he had a throwing knife ready in his right. He did his best to keep an ear out for danger.

Nefertiti looked to Jay and spoke softly "Do you smell that?  I smelt it when we was at the temple.

Can we investigate it closer? asking but they can see that she has already started walking in a direction.

  Hans followed along merely out of the thought of strength in numbers. He wasn't particularly combat effective. I mean he could throw a couple punches, but that was about it.

Glancing among his companions to ensure everyone near him already knew his nature, Jay focused for a moment and forced his body into Dalu form, his usually large body expanding to become unnaturally massive. His head bore the hallmark signs of beginning to appear wolfish, the snout extending and ears rising on the skull, but he would retain the ability to speak human languages. The reason for his shift was the heightened senses that came with any of his non-human forms, and once the bone-cracking change had finished he set his nose to the air, seeking the scent Nefertiti spoke of.

OOC: Spending 1 essence to change reflexively and without a roll, hopefully there's no humans around so technically I'm not breaching the oath of secrecy.

16:59, Today: Jay rolled 1 success using 7d10 with the World of Darkness nWoD system with a target of 8, rerolling 10s with rolls of 4,5,6,8,6,5,7.  Perception.

 Jay saw no flashlights around other than Michael's and it was far too dark for any human to see him without one so Jay was relatively confident in his secrecy.

A look of disgust shows on her face as she watched the horror.  Taking a moment she focused her thoughts and energy on what pulled her here in the first place.  What was pure here.

Nefertiti seemed to move away from the group and traveled up a rubble where she is sitting at the moment.  Looking in the far distance.

Michael didn’t like the way things were going and handed the other man a silver switchblade he had hidden in his sock. His flashlight was attached to the straps of his quiver pointing forward but leaving his hands free to grip his Zweihander. He looked over at Hans and whispered. “The Blade isn’t much, but it’s silver.”

  "I'm better with my bare hands. But I will take it just in case." he says as he looks around. "I find myself at a bit of a loss. What is she searching for?"

OOC: Nefertiti is on a pile of rubble looking at something none of the rest of you can see and she seems to have no intention of moving. What are the rest of you going to do? Join her? Leave her? Something else?

"What's up?" Jay's long legs made easy work of the rubble pile Nefertiti had stopped upon and he approached her, concern beginning to tint his voice.

OOC: I won't be moving on without a member of the group, its the pack mentality beginning to kick in :)

Nefertiti placed a finger to her lips making a shhhhhh should, then she pointing in at direction for him to look.

Michael covered the head of the flashlight with one hand as he easily ascended the rocks. He had a general idea of where she was. The moon and stars helped to light at least part of the night. The hunter waited for explanation as he knew that if he shined his light on the area she motioned to it might alert whatever it was to their presence.
