<Storytelle> A day has passed since the loss of Erik
<Storytelle> Billy has left to be trained at the Hall of Oracles
<Storytelle> and you all are left with a sense of dread.
* Gerard grieves over the loss.
* Remy makes frequent checks on his daughter, to see if she is okay.
* Simon is looking for Remy
* Remy is at the Legion hall
<Remy> Giving the report of what we found
* Simon walks into the Hall of Oracles
<Simon> "Hey Remy."
<Remy> "Hello Simon. Did you need me?"
<Simon> "I was just here to help you with the report."
<Remy> "Okay then."
<Storytelle> you are in the office of the Anaceron of the Legion Of Fate.
* Remy continues to fill in Ambrose
<Storytelle> she sits behind her desk listening intently.
<Remy> "Ah, oui! The Cult of the Blighted Sun."
<Ambrose> "I have never heard of that."
<Ambrose> "Tell me more."
<Storytelle> As she says this, there is a knock upon the door
* Remy lets his hand drop to his pistol, ready for trouble
* Gerard looks toward the door.
<Ambrose> "Come in."
<Storytelle> The door opens and a wraith with the Legion of the Silent walks in.
<Storytelle> He hands her a message and walks out.
* Remy subtly looks him over
* Ambrose opens the letter and she shakes her head.
<Ambrose> "It looks like this is to be cut short. I need you to head over to the St. Jude hospital."
<Ambrose> "There has been a mass killing."
<Nachabe> "What?"
<Gerard> "Lets go."
<Remy> "I have de sneaking suspicion dis is not a conicidance."
* Remy sighs
<Remy> Remy says to Ambrose "Be careful, please?"
* Gerard exits the door.
* Nachabe turns to leave
<Ambrose> "Don't worry about me, and Remy? Wear your mask more."
* Remy smiles. "Okay, chere."
* Remy puts on his mask
* Remy walks out the door
* Simon heads out the door.
<Storytelle> You walk out of the Hall, and head over to the Hospital
<Simon> "Umm anyone know how to get there?"
<Nachabe> "I know how....."
* Nachabe begins to lead them to the hospital......
* Remy follows Nachabe
* Gerard follows Nachabe.
* Nachabe leads them to the hospital where he died
<Storytelle> It takes a while to get there, and when you arrive, the scene is one of gruesome
excitement as a crowd gathers to watch the police, and fire crews carry out the bodies
<Remy> "What sort of mass killing could occur at a hospital?"
<Simon> "A terrible one."
* Nachabe looks around
* Remy takes a look around, too
<Storytelle> There are police and ambulance crews everywhere, at doesn't seem to you that
they are evacuating anyone.
<Remy> "Don' it seem a bit odd that we were de ones chosen for this assignment?"
<Storytelle> Off to the left you can see a wraith hovering over his owm body
<Gerard> "Everything seems odd once you have died."
<Nachabe> "It is curious......"
<Storytelle> "Oh Jesus, oh Jesus." he keeps muttering
* Remy allows his voice to float into the world of the living. Originating his voice from
a near bystander, he asks "What is going on here, officer?"
<Cop> "Oh seems some nurse went on a drugging spree."
<Cop> "Even killed a doctor, before offing herself."
* Cop looks to the voice and gives a strange look when no one is seen.
<Nachabe> "This is Markova's doing....I can feel it."
* Remy looks to the cohort. "Skinrider? Maybe we should look at the body of the nurse."
<Simon> "Great."
<Nachabe> "She is over there."
* Nachabe points to the side of the room
* Remy goes over to the body...
* Gerard examines the body.
* Nachabe stands guard as they look the body over
<Storytelle> The nurse has a slender build, short with dark hair
<Simon> "Jeez. She's cute."
<Gerard> "Please Simon, remember why we are here."
* Nachabe looks at Simon
* Simon looks at you.
<Simon> "Sorry."
<Gerard> "Give the ones that died some respect. This is not a peepshow for you."
<Simon> "Ok ok."
<Gerard> "Anyway, she was manipulated by a skin rider."
* Remy holds up a scale, to see what her condition was when she died...
<Storytelle> They are zipping up her bodybag
<Storytelle> it sounds ominous and frighteningly familiar
<Remy> "Oh my god! She...she was with child." Remy turns away, disgusted
* Nachabe looks at Remy
<Simon> "Oh no."
lt;Remy> "The baby is tainted...with Oblivion..."
<Gerard> "She injected herself with a heroin/cocaine drug."
<Gerard> "Everybody, the child is becoming a spectre!"
* Nachabe gets his flute ready
<Remy> "It sure as hell doesn't make sense, though. A healthy nurse, who would know
about such risks, would do such a thing?"
<Storytelle> The room darkens and it seems that everything you see is becoming dark
<Remy> Nach: {Aaahh...what a cute child! Can we keep him?}
<Storytelle> Tenticles are beginning to form around her belly
<Remy> "Christ!"
* Remy fires at the emerging spectre
* Gerard readies his sword.
* Nachabe begins to play
<Storytelle> They strike quickly and the baby emerges. It is covered in Oblivion
<Storytelle> It screams unintelligbley it's rage.
<Simon> "Holy shit!"
* Remy fires at it, not wanting the child to suffer that fate
* Gerard strikes at the baby.
* Nachabe continues to play
* Simon pulls out his gladius
<Storytelle> Remy fires and hits the child squarely it blows into a paste against the wall
<Nachabe> "Something else is coming."
<Remy> "What? Where?"
<Nachabe> "The baby was a distraction."
<Simon> "That's it."
* Remy tunes himself to the will of fate
<Nachabe> "I can feel a dark presences."
<Nachabe> "Its getting closer!"
* Gerard looks around.
<Remy> "Grave danger to de left of us!"
* Remy aims his pistol
* Nachabe turns to the left
<Simon> "That's the old folks wing!"
* Nachabe begins to play his song
* Gerard turns to the left, ready for anything,
<Simon> "It's in the old folks wing come on!" says as he runs to the wing.
* Nachabe begins to follow after him
<Remy> "We WANT to go in there?" Remy ponders
* Remy follows
* Gerard follows, looking around for signs of danger.
<Storytelle> You run down the hall and see Simon enter the wing.
* Nachabe follows after him passing through the quick as he goes
* Gerard follows discreetly.
<Storytelle> You run into the room and see several old men and women sitting watching tv
* Remy uses cloak of shadows
* Nachabe too
<Storytelle> One of the old folks look at you
* George shakes his head.
<George> "I knew it."
<George> "I knew it was my time."
<George> "When I saw that," he points up to the ceiling, "I just knew."
<Remy> Nach: {darkness covers a multitude of sins. *wicked laughter*}
* Gerard looks up.
* Remy looks at the ceiling
<Storytelle> Upon the ceiling you see an old granmotherly lady on her hands and knees
crawling on the ceiling as if gravity had meant it to be
<Storytelle> She looks at you and smiles with a mouth full of nails
<Storytelle> She points to you
<Storytelle> "You lied!" she screeches
<Storytelle> "You said that it was over! You will be doomed!"
<Storytelle> "He's coming! He's coming for the girl!"
<Simon> "What does she mean?"
<Storytelle> Suddenly the floor begins to shake
<Storytelle> You can barely stand as it rolls and quakes
<Storytelle> "He's here! He's here!"
<Remy> "What girl??"
<Storytelle> The floor begins to vein with Oblivion as it rumbles
* Remy looks panicked
<Remy> "Damn it, you crazy hag, WHAT GIRL??"
* Remy backs away
<Remy> "I have a REALLY bad feeling about dis..."
<Storytelle> "You will know! You will know!"
* Remy backs away from the cracks
* Simon backs away
* Gerard backs away.
* Nachabe backs away still playing his flute.
<Storytelle> The floor breaks open and the veins bubble over with Tempest
<Storytelle> The veins widen and widen until the floor is almost covered with them
<Remy> "Markova's ship?"
<Storytelle> The Tempest breaks and something begins to emerge
<Storytelle> A ship flushes through the hole
<Storytelle> There is a familiar scream
<Storytelle> The deck is littered with crew members, and one in particular strikes you as the leader
<Storytelle> In front of him he holds a wraith
* Remy leaps into the air, and hovers
* Remy backs into the hallway. "De baby was obviously the least of our worries..."
<Storytelle> He turns the wraith around to face you, it is Brianna
<Gerard> "Markova I presume."
<Storytelle> "Hello Remy, Gerard, Simon, and Nachabe. My name is Usher,
and we have much to discuss." with that you hear several swords being raised
as you see several wraiths around you holding swords in your direction.
<Storytelle> "Drop your weapons and hop aboard. Come let's talk."
* Remy gasps
<Remy> "Brianna!!"
<Storytelle> to be concluded...
