Knave Posted December 22, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Sigurður leads his rescuers slowly and quietly from his room and down the communal stairwell. You pass a couple of inebriated students returning from a night out, but they pay you no mind. He leads you to the far end of the ground floor corridor, where there is a rough plywood door bearing a number of warnings, the most prominent of which reads: Construction! Keep Out! The man takes a deep breath and pushes it open, stepping into the space beyond. Beyond is a large room, dimly lit by a chain of hanging workmen's lanterns, and with the rough plaster walls, exposed electrical conduits and open floor that show an extensive renovation is underway. But it looks at though the building work has been interrupted: in the centre of the room are the tools of a different trade: archeological trowels, brushes and miniature hammers are laid out around a deeper hole in the ground. Looking inside, there is a more ancient floor beneath the current one, bearing two inscriptions, the first of which reads: sicariorum et homicidarum sors haec est. Anno Domini MI The second is smaller, the engraving less deep, and it surrounds an empty recess. libera nos a malo David's Latin is serviceable, and he translates the first after a few moments: This is the fate of assassins and murderers. AD 1001. The second, he doesn't need to puzzle out, as it's taken straight from the Lord's Prayer: deliver us from Evil.

ImmortalYou do not age or sicken, and whenever you suffer harm you suffer 1-harm less. IC The circumstances unfolding, coupled with David's translation, cause the words to form in Sophie's mind unbidden. A century of accompanying little ones to Sunday mass, of leading them in their prayers before bed, of doing the same with Sophia in the dream. The invocation comes to her lips as a reflex. "O Glorious St. Brigid, Mother of the Churches of Erin, patroness of our missionary race, wherever their lot may be cast, be thou our guide in the paths of virtue, protect us amid temptation, shield us from danger. Preserve to us the heritage of chastity and temperance; keep ever brightly burnin' on the altar of our hearts the sacred Fire of Faith, Charity, and Hope, that thus we may emulate the ancient piety of Ireland’s children, and the Church of Erin may shine with peerless glory as of old. Thou wert styled by our fathers “The Mary of Erin,” secure for us by thy prayers the all-powerful protection of the Blessed Virgin, that we may be numbered here among her most fervent clients, and may hereafter merit a place together with Thee and the countless Saints of Ireland, in the ranks of her triumphant children in Paradise." Then, realizing that there may be power in words, with respect to this thing, she glances at David. The idea is right there, carved into the stone. Part of the Lord's Prayer. And they already knew this creature took issue with the Church. If they wish to draw it out, maybe words are all they need. With an eyebrow raised in David's direction, she starts to recite: "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen." And then she starts it again. "Our Father who art in heaven..." OOC Full disclosure, I am not the least bit religious and I'm just googling stuff here. So apologies if I'm misusing anything. The first is a prayer to St. Brigid for protection from evil and danger that comes from Ireland.

It’ll go for allies, other hunters, and innocent bystanders. Sometimes, every so often, it might even hit an enemy. Cast the Bones Once per mystery, you may perform some kind of divination (tarot, casting the runes, reading entrails, or something like that) to glean information about the future. When you seek guidance by divination, roll +Sharp. On a 10+, hold 2. On a 7-9, hold 1. On a miss, you get some information, but it’s not what you want to hear. Spend those holds to ask any question from the investigate a mystery move, or one of the following questions: • What can I gain from this person/place/thing/creature? • Who has touched this person/place/thing/creature before me? The Keeper will answer truthfully, with either a direct answer or how to find out more. Sympathetic TokenAs long as you carry a personal object belonging to someone, such as a lock of hair, a full set of toenails, or a treasured family heirloom, you get +1 ongoing to use magic against them. You can also use magic against them at a distance. If you try to use magic against them and miss, the token is lost, destroyed, or loses its power. Force of WillWhen you apply your will to dispelling a magical effect, blocking a spell, or suspending a Phenomenon, roll +Weird. On a hit, momentary magics are cancelled completely, and long-lasting spells and effects are suspended temporarily. On a 10+, you can also spend Luck to instantly snuff out a powerful spell or strange effect. On a 7-9, you take 1-harm as the strain of dismissing magic unravels you. Rotes: Leeching Enchantment(Must be cast at night. Requires the burning of pressed flowers.) This ability works similar to the Use Magic ability: Enchant a Weapon, but with extra bonuses. On a 10+ Enchant a weapon. It gets +1 harm and +magic and + Vampiric (1 healing for each time it deals damage). On a 7-9 The effect is weakened. Choose two of the three tags. On a miss The weapon turns on you as you attempt to enchant it. Take 1 harm ignore armour. Apply no Effects. Gear: Athame(2-harm hand magic silver) Staff(1-harm hand balanced large) Annika follows trepidatiously as Sigurd leads them to the construction site. She keeps her eyes trained on the young man, looking for any signs that her spell had either failed or worn off, allowing the monster to possess him again. Everything seems to be happening so fast. She had been able to come to terms with the fact that monsters — or at least the undead — are real and threatening. But the spiritual aspect of it all still messes with her head. If someone can be possessed, it means that consciousness can be transferred. It means ghosts, and spirits, and possibly other supernatural entities exist. That makes the world a much more dangerous place. How long can she last as a monster hunter? How long have the ones before her lasted? She peers curiously at the collection of digging tools. “I’m pretty sure there’s a slew of HSE violations in there. My Pa would be pissed.” She smirks at her own humor, but given the situation, it seems everyone else is not exactly in a joking sort of mood. David translates the Latin and Annika is surprised to find that she actually would have been able to translate a word or two of the text. It turns out that being dragged to Catholic Mass every Sunday as a kid has its benefits. But when Sophie starts spouting off prayers, Annika is incapable of taming the scowl that forms across her lips. “Ugh…really? Are we really relying on religion to save our asses?” She glances towards David and repeats a phrase that she’s had to say daily when in his presence: “No offense.” With an exhaled sigh, Annika begrudgingly begins repeating the Lord’s prayer in unison with Sophie. But her heart isn’t in it, and her focus is centered on the chamber beyond, searching for signs of an ambush or latent lines of magic. She isn’t exactly sure how she might see that last one, but she knows magic when she sees it — or ‘feels it’ would be more accurate. It was like a subsonic thrum; a vibration. It smells of ozone and tastes of iron and pure, bitter cocoa. OoC Im gonna read a bad situation! A 7 gets me one hold.

Anything to draw its ire and lure it out... Annika, like the lapsed Catholic she is, doesn't close her eyes to say the words of the prayer, but keeps a careful watch on the proceedings. Just as Sophie goes to repeat them again, the new witch spies a familiar set of dessecated and charred fingers, one missing from the hand, rise silently from the stone floor and begin to encircle Sophie's ankle.

Ekram hadn't expected the guy to go to such lengths for them here, but David seems to have a way with people that he can't quite explain. He had been pretty quick to trust the doc with his own concerns early in their association so it doesn't exactly seem out of place for this man to do the same. Following the crew, he keeps the iron spike in his hand as they descend into the lower level. The sight of the construction and what it had uncovered paints a picture in his mind. Workmen digging through old flooring, a revelation of the ancient words beneath. It could have been a bloodbath if the creature had wanted it to be. Was it bound in some sort of slumber here before the interruption? Sophie's call and Annika's half-hearted refrain elicits little more than a sidelong glance from the artist. When the words actually have an effect, though, he is slower to act than most because he had no reason to believe anything would actually come of it. Annika's shout, Hal's forward lunge, the scattering of a hand across the floor. As the monster rises up behind Hal, intent on revenge for the dismemberment, Ekram finds his feet again and leaps into that insignificant space between monster and prey. It takes effort to force them apart in that moment, but effort is something Ekram has in abundance. "You can piss off back to viking zombie hell!" He puts his forearm into the creature's chest to force it back, which unfortunately puts him in the direct path of the dragr's swing, but it also gives him just the opening he needs to plant that iron spike square in its gut. He takes the fist hard to the side of his head but the spike finds solid meat as he jabs it forward. The muffled groan that follows is more pain than excitement at the successful stab, but the excitement is in there. OOC Stuff Going to Protect Hal, and I'm going to use Never Again cause I don't trust my luck to get a 10+ for the 'take little harm' option. So I'll be sucking up some or all of that armor-piercing blow, and since I'm limited in my choices I'll also opt for 'you inflict harm on the enemy'.

Next thing he knows his feet are backpedaling of their own volition and Sophie's grapple is all that lets him put that distance between himself and the zombie. Pressing his hand to his throat he can feel the hot, wet slick of blood against his fingers. It's not bad, the cut, as the blood flow doesn't jump with his heartbeat like an arterial slice would. The real problem is what's inside that's broken. He can't breathe, and his body does what every body does when that happens. It panics. He spits blood onto the ground as he sinks to his knees, making a god-awful gurgling sound as the swelling in his trachea refuses to let it do what tracheas are supposed to do. His mind flutters through desperate images of his own demise, a funeral, his mother weeping at losing the last of her immediate family. Gotta fight through it. He growls, blood bubbling between his teeth, and yanks the knife from its place in his belt. After he lost his first pound of flesh to a ghul he began to pay close attention to books on first aid and trauma surgery. Hospitals in Sarajevo were often filled to capacity, if he could even reach one in an injured state after throwing down with clawed beasts. He'd had to wrap up cuts and splint bones before but this was something he'd only seen on the screen. Turning the blade on himself, he presses it up against the hollow of his throat below the rings of cartilage and closes his eyes as tight as he can, tears streaming past the lids despite it. Do it or die. One quick push, just enough to clear the skin and pop through the trachea. He keeps his head tilted forward so the blood flows with gravity, out onto the floor instead of back into his lungs. Lungs which are screaming for air, the pressure in his chest like a vice. His hand comes away from his pocket with a Bic and he yanks the back plug out of the pen with his teeth, a flick of his wrist sending the ink cartridge spinning across the stone floor. Lining it up with the cut, a single smooth push plants the empty tube in place and his lungs immediately fill. There's a soft whistling sound as air is pulled through the pen and into his body, then another as he pushes himself to his feet, one hand wrapped around his throat to keep the makeshift trach in place. The other hand holds the knife, slick with his own blood, and despite all of this he seems damn intent on adding this monster's blood to it.
