"And they would rather have someone do their thinking for them rather than doing the hard work.  Sounds like you like to be confrontational and not admit that you created the mess. You expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter? Be careful what you wish for." Warhammer doing his best not to shred them.

First he directed his statement to Malleable man.     listen to Weird Al much? ( who wrote the song "Everything you know is wrong ")

so a bunch of bleeding heart Liberals and an Injun.  You all think you know everything.   I see PRIMUS approaching.   You will be taken down.   Then you will see I was right

In reply to Sharks (msg # 9):

Najewa brandishes the blade of her spear and levels it at Shark's throat. "You would prefer to be the wizard's bitch to being a man? Typical White Eyes attitude. The People protected the land, and lived in conjunction with the bison and elk. We took only what was needed and we did our own work. Unlike the 'privileged' Whites who kept slaves and stripped the land bare, destroying the ecosystem, destroying entire species, destroying the Earth herself, only for the illusion of Wealth? If you weren't so pathetic I would avenge my tribe, but your blood would only taint a blade that has only known honor. Leave this one to fend for himself. I'm sure Enforcer will look after him, if he bothers to return..." she ends with a sneer.

The mystic listens silently to the words of the youth, speaking with the unswaying authority of ignorance.

"Would you like to see them then?" he's asked the speaker in a calm but cautious voice, "See them in their natural forms in the Netherworld?  I can take you there."

With no more words of caution or rebuke, Sentinel holds out his hand for any foolish enough to take it.

"Let the police handle them
we might start with reforging the metal in the scythe as it was the proper alloy to hold the magic

In reply to Wraith (msg # 12):

Ooc.  The metal looks rare.  Without analysis,  you are not sure what kind.

"If we can get all the pieces, I might be able to analyze it and see what you are dealing with. With that, I should be able to provide you a recommendation on putting the scythe back together." Warhammer said. "You might want to research how it was created for the bibbidi bobbidi boo part." he added, starting to realize there was more than just science out in the universe.

Malleable man returns to his 'default' appearance, and nods, "I'm gonna go out on a limb, here, and say clearly that I've got no idea how any of that works. I do know that any time you're trying to reverse engineer someone else's product the first thing you ask is 'what part of this is something I already know how to build.' Which, again, leaves me out."
"So why don't I meet the PRIMUS people and let them know what we've got, here."

In reply to GM (msg # 13):

With her gravitic perception she should be able a clear sense of density vs cubic volume to see which substance this is closest to by weight

Ginormica finally starts to stir again. She'd been out for a while. That was some heavy hitting she'd taken. She was analyzing the fight and decided that perhaps it was more psychological than real damage at her size. Hopefully she'd learn to control that better in future fights.

"So what's going on? Did we win?" she asks.

"Well you woke up not being a sacrifice, I'd say that would be a win"

In reply to Wraith (msg # 18):

The sacrifice is about to make a snide remark back when PRIMUS arrives.

We cleared and secured the lake.  What is happening here? asked a native American officer

The sacrifice speaks first.     Yeah, these so called heroes interrupted a private religious ceremony.   We have the right to worship how we please.  If you Injuns want to worship Chief Running Bear, or whatever the hell you worship, That’s perfectly okay,  but heaven forbid we want to worship demons.   That's not okay?  It's called freedom of religion. 

Najewa scowls. "If you want to call it a religion, that's your right. But as far as I can tell, the wizard never applied for Legal status for this cult. Regardless of Religion or not, willing sacrifices or not, there are legal ramifications for performing bloodletting rituals on U.S. soil. And the Wizard was using Stolen materials in the ritual. You are all guilty of Grand Theft by your participation in gathering those stolen items."

"Quite right," Sentinel nodded, impressed with Najewa's knowledge of law.

"Toss in the museum that your boss broke into to try getting the scythe, so if you have knowledge of it, you are accessories for failing to report it to the authorities." Warhammer said

"Freedom of Religion does not give you the right to murder people by letting demons consume their souls," Ginormica says. She would have argued against demons a few weeks ago, but science believed in the application of reason and evidence and there was she had seen here evidence that demons were real.

In reply to Ginormica (msg # 23):

I don't know anything about stolen items or museums.   I only know Wizard went to get the scythe,  which may belong to him.

Did the early Christians have to apply for legal status.   No.  And we've been around a lot longer than they have.

He wasn't going to kill people,  he was going to transform them.  There is a difference.

"You foolish mortal would have become the wizard' soulbound slave"
"Doing his bidding ,and you would have no control over what you do, other than feel remorse if you had any to  begin with"

"let the police have them we have more important things to work on, like reforging the scythe to return the others no normal"

In reply to Wraith (msg # 25):

I'm not going to be drawn into an endless debate.   Just get me out of here. 

Primus finished taking the statements.  Unless the group can prove that the Sacrifices did something illegal. They get to go home.  But the demon possessed go to jail.

(Let me know what you do next)

OOC: Any feedback on Sentinel's skill rolls from msg 1?

None of the sacrifices responded to Sentinel's offer to take them to see the demons on their home plane in msg 11?

Lacking Criminology or the wherewithal to ascertain whether any of the thugs participated in the theft (OOC : Correct me if I am wrong, but only Powered Agents were in on the heist?), Najewa stands down. But before she depowers, she takes a sample of each gang member's scents. If they did not undergo a metamorphosis,  she'd be able to track them in the future.

Malleable Man becomes a passable imitation of Strother Martin, shakes his head, and intones "some men you just can't reach."

Afterward, he asks the PRIMUS people if they need anything else before wondering, aloud, if anyone had a ride back.

"Can we get a lift back," Ginormica asks the PRIMUS agents

(How did I miss that?)

There is almost a dimension for everything.   Even one where all the heroes are villains.   There is a dimension where Foxbat got the scythe,  but he is more competent and evil.

But there is a dimension of elder gods.   Been trying to get into the dimension since the dawn of time

They may have opened a portal just big enough for the scythe with a material that doesn't belong on this dimension.

Oh. And the Sacrifices don't trust you,  so ignored you.

In reply to GM (msg # 31):

@Ginormica
  sure.
