Clean up crew: Hunters house

**Witch** · Mar 31st, 2026 08:47 PM

A shrug was completed, "No worries." Destruction in place it would be.

"They had space down there to work- so more than just a tunnel." Moving toward the ladder she shone her phone light down to make sure she had a good idea of where she was going and then slung a leg down. "I need to go take care of the blood," she said.

And for her sanity sake, check for bodies, even though she knew that they wouldn't have left those. Would they?

Glancing at Skye she offered a faint smile that was maybe supposed to be reassuring? "If you want to stay, I promise to yell if I get into trouble."

The tunnels do present a more confined space then the the shed or basement, requiring hands needs or at absolute best for the those small enough a cramped crouch and squat. The tight space had been a serious factor in what prevent Corn and Philip from aiding Witch against Hercules as she fought him in the mouth of the tunnel sending both her fellows scampering back up and into the gas filled house to find the staircase.

And then as now it was an awkward fit, clearly meant for short secretive travel more then convivence.

Witch begins the clamber down much less hurried and desperate then the last time she had been pulling bodies along behind her. It is a short descent all in all and back in the cramped narrow earthy darkness. The tunnel is like a grim museum exabit or macabre archeological site. Left persevered since the day of the explosion. The trails of blood, the spots of ash and dust, caught fibers, in closer proximity the still lingering smell of burnt and rotten meat even ... burnt flesh having oozed or maybe come off in places along the way, now eaten by bacteria.

But no bodies. No weapons or traps, nothing so absolutely blatant as all that. Even so this was clearly a mess and not all that well made. It occurs to Witch having dealt with the man himself in a fashion, there was a brick layer in the hunter cell, someone in the construction industry ... is that how they have kept this under wraps?

Well she hadn´t picked up on anything dangerous this far, still who the F knew what might be down there, putting someone else in danger not really something she exactly enjoyed but they also needed speed.
”Please do, do you a means to get rid of it? Else let me know.” It had worked quite well the last time they had a lot of gunk to clean so why not again? ”Ill get started here in the meantime and keep the escape route safe.” Hmm wait, the shed had been locked before, walking over to the door to see if she could lock it from the inside and just how hard it would be to break down if it would come to it, mimicking her earlier deals with the inside door, checking both the door and the general walls with soft taps.

Waiting to see no sound would be heard from Witch before starting to look over the mountain of stuff, shaking her head with a sigh. At least their alarms should be long dead right? Getting up to walk around, taking a mental inventory of the things before starting to slowly build a small stack of things in the middle of the room, taking care to see that there are no trip wires or setups that would make them crash with a loud sound. Wanting a little pile of stuff at the ready before letting her claws out to begin and add further damage to the various cables and thingamajigs that could house some kind of storage keeping part be it a HDD or SD card.

"I think so," was the reply given. Her voice carrying back to Skye even as she herself moved into the cramped space of the tunnel.

Even though she had known there wouldn't be, she felt a relief at the lack of bodies. The idea of one of the Hunters being in the industry itself hit her and it fit nicely into place. Explaining why the false wall had been put up, how this was even still here ...

They would have to keep that in mind for any future interactions on the Hunter's turf.

But that was for the future. She was in the now. Shuffling to where she thought the approximate middle of the tunnel was, she dropped to sit cross legged on the ground. It was a risk what she was about to do, take the slow road, but sitting in the middle of blood, the smell of human damage in the air ... she felt it was worth it.

Quietly she began to chant in High Speech, building up for the spell to come.

Witch will take 30 minutes to chant before casting. She is upping the target count to 3 to aim for destroying evidence from all 3 mages that were here

A few things here. If Witch is spending 30 minutes to chant high speech then she is performing a ritual? Which requires the drawing of the Atlantean pentagram. (The site removes the need to burn sacraments).

The spell forensic invisibility stops a mage from producing/leaving incriminating matter behind but does not remove/obscure marks or things in the area, the spell evidence shroud is needed for that.

To target Philip and Corn with Forensic invisibility would require them to present (to stop them leaving biological evidence. With space 2 and appropriate penalties they could be targeted sympathetically regardless of location.

So all in all I am going to have to say that spell does not work.

Skye looks at the door and with a built in lock yes it could in theory be locked from the inside if they had the means. But it is a sheet metal door held in place by basic hinges and the lock when it is engaged. So all in all it could hold for a brief period but a dedicated effort would likely see the door open. So for the foreseeable future she beings to slowly work through the mounds of tech doing what she can hear and there to add further damages.

Down in the tunnel Witch has an idea and tries her utmost to implement it, unfortunately even magic has rules and conditions and steps that need to be followed and she skips a few key steps in her attempt to form the imago which crumbles before it is complete leaving her in the dark 30 minutes passed to no progress.

Beginning to chant in high speech as softly as she could to unleash her will upon the world all in vain, eyes drawn down towards her hand, looking towards the door considering if any of her current spells would be worth dropping in the moment but not really wanting to weaken herself should something occur, shaking her head and starting to over.

Control sound lowering,1 success

Again not feeling quite satisfied with the effects but at least it was something and she did not have endless mana to waste for this, taking the little pile she had gathered, knife out and starting to search for where the storage seemed to be located, what she could either open and make sure to squash or tear it beyond data saving capabilities. Taking smaller parts or well anything that would fit in under her shirt comfortably, bending forward to crack them open where needed whilst just routinely keeping up her job of making as much destruction to anything and everything with a storage she could find. Admittingly not being an expert on this kind of hardware opting to rather leave to much destruction than to little, whilst making certain to stay in her little bubble of at least lowered sounds whilst doing the destruction as silently as possible.

Making certain to take a stack of computers as some of her first targets to then place them by the door in a neat line, a simplistic trap yes but if anyone of them would try to barge in so would it with some luck buy her at least a couple of seconds in addition to the warning of their approach.

Had a message from delta saying to progress on.

Skye please remember the cumulative penalty for retrying failed actions, subtracting the dice in this instance does not effect the result over all.

Skye works her will to help deaden the sound of her attempts at vandalism while Witch remains below in the tunnel.

you can either make 3 strength+weaponary+knife rolls to commit general destruction or 3 wits+crafts-2 rolls to commit more specialized acts of sabotage

**Skye** · Apr 23rd, 2026 10:41 AM

Alright time to be sneaky, taking the first computer, using a combination of raw strength along with one of her smaller knives to help get inside of the innards ready to show her skills in assembly and disassembly of stuff ready to make this a breeze only to find herself blinking at the....thingamabobs, snarfblatts, dinglehoppers, and scibbleflow´s, needing to quickly admit the simple fact she had no clue what any of these things were, spending a minute to try and look over each little detail to find what could contain storage. A hard drive contains it and a hard drive is square right, but wait the gpk and the SD card and the processing thingamajig which means that I should also. Tracing a cable or what is left of it with her eyes between the various damaged components realizing that no she has no clue what anything other than the shell is.

Sighing, grabbing her larger knife and starting to the only real path she could see on this, slicing some stuff here, some cables there, cracking where needed, ripping, tearing, flipping the knife over to hit things whilst trying to bend over as much as possible to use her body to soften each sound whilst systematically leaving as much silent destruction as she could manage on the things whilst waiting for her ally, ready to go replace her trap with the already hopefully damaged beyond repair had it been possible without supernal means to begin with.

Damaged beyond repair is a very subjective state of being, especially while physical elements still linger. But they were not to there knowledge dealing with mages, spirits, ghosts or anything else that could posit a supernatural solution to Skye's warrant vandalism so every cut wire, every punctured component every smash chip and every broken board each thing puts another obstacle between the hunters and whatever might be on these devices.

With knife in hand Skye uses her strength and skill at arms to wreck some effective damage across a range of the devices, between prying open this and that and working her way through the not small pile of electronics she does eat into a reasonable amount of time, bur remains undisturbed and spookily quiet thanks to the effects of her will working more then anything. Use brute force to break things would not normally be a quiet process.

**Skye** · Apr 24th, 2026 08:06 AM

Phew now that was a relief, and true to the areait did indeed seem like she was permitted to work undisturbed but now what?Looking down after Witch, knowing she should give her time to do whatever sheneeded down there but this was starting to become a tad to long to wait withouta sound from her. She would scream if things got really dire or somehow let herknow right? Should she head down after her to see what was taking so long, andif things were even safe anymore?

Rapidly beginning to tapping her foot, she was a guardian first and foremost, being separated like this not exactly a nice sensation. True true, the woman was more than capable to take care of herself ,but not a sound for this long what was happening down there?

Starting to move each piece back into place of where she had taken them, or somewhat at least, trying to make the damage she had caused as hard as possible to see from their current position, when looked at closely or taken out sure it would be evident but hiding it from a cautionary glance might buy them a little bit of time at least.

Doing her best to work as quietly as possible whilst dropping the dampened sound, the work was done no need for a little quiet space anymore.

Clenching her hand, letting the symbols hiding in each corner of the room race to her hand, warp and twist before opening it to send out the image of endless bugs to go over and eat up any biological remnants of her presence there. Uncertain but for some sweat or accidental strand of hair to have come loose during the process would hardly be unlikely, and better to not give them the chance.
