Lanky Chain Saw breaks from the milling mob and follows the wall, heading towards the side of the building where Ale lie in wait. His masked head swivels as he searches for prey.
Robert Cross unlimited sink is UP!

[Robert Cross]

Shit is sideways. There's too many of them and not enough cover in this space for his crew. And Leatherface is closing the distance. What’s needed is something to draw off the pressure, to divide attention. A distraction. In that moment, Cross spots the youth still outside the shattered door. The one with the shotgun. If he can make it outside, take that kid down, the Burned Man might be able split the battlefield, draw some of them back outside. And acquire some more fire power.

To that end, Cross begins moving toward the door. Careful not to break into a run, not wanting to lose the Cloak wrapped about him. Once through, he steps to the side of the door, out of the line of sight of the interior, and squeezes off a shot at Pretty Boy.

Cross's walking speed is 13 (with vigor active). If he can pass through the door and then fire on Pretty Boy this turn, he'll do so. If not, he'll finish his transit and fire next turn.

  Surprise! Pretty Boy, 6 suxx

The Brood fans out, less a pack of wild animals than a group of Champions in the ancient sense. Each an individual warrior hunting a challenge.

The Brood move around Cross in a strange and macabre game of chicken. The Haunt does not move as the band flow around him. Silent and Cloaked, he is invisible to their senses as they rush, en masse, into the building.

The Claw Chick pads softly through the dim interior, claws whispering as her fingers flex hungrily. She is closing on Robert Longstreet's position but wont reach there for another turn.

The Monstrously Scarred Haunt has slipped back onto all fours and is moving towards Alessandra's position. He won't reach it either, as he burns his movement in mini leaps and bounds and sniffing much as if he were a dog on the trail.

The Ugly Gunner slips quietly into the corner on Robert Longstreet's side. From the click he has readied his weapon.

Wild Man simply... keeps on running. And screaming. His cracked voice bounces off the metal walls as he waves his arms. Aimless and apparently clueless, he runs right by Robert Longstreet's position without even bothering to notice him. The slavering maniac winds up at the top of the stairs leading to the basement.

@Robert Cross unlimited sink could have been anywhere. So yes, his action is fine. I'll detail the results of his action at the end of the turn
Alice Hart Saber Sloth is UP!

[Alice Hart]

The rush past, there are thunks and heckling sounds, the blind haunt shifts in the bushes, slipping her little fang into her hand, she knows where the door is, and just where they might be headed, but in the dark of her world, it's easy for things to get turned around.

She cocks an ear, and prays her inhumanly keen hearing wont lead her astray...

Alice is now armed, and will spend her turn Listening!
Orianna Alessandra is up!

[Alessandra]

Ale isn't deaf, in fact, her hearing is enhanced and knows it's only a matter of time before one of them finds her. She plays out her options quickly, not liking them, but settling on one that might work. Key term? Might. But she was Reeve, she couldn't wait for these Brood to take one of the Domain.

She drops to her knees, guns raised, and listens. Trying to pin point the closest target with her hearing.

Ale is on her knees, guns raised and listening for the closet Brood....over to you Yumyumcrow

[Alessandra]

Oops...misread the order....over to you Robert Longstreet

[Yumyumcrow]

The Suit strides forward acting as if he was completely unconcerned and walking into a Board meeting which he knows he'll have completely under his thumb. He strode right into the middle of the space... and noted the two Kindred using the pillar's as cover. He could see them, even if he couldn't get at them. Not yet.

Outside, Beauty Boy was still adjusting his shotgun. Frowning he checked the weapon again... and stood open mouthed when Cross snapped into existence in front of him.

The shot cuts into the quiet night, abruptly loud and horribly present. Beyond Cross, the Brood made a muffled racket as they swept into the warehouse: drone of chainsaw and the Wild Man's unearthly howling challenged the quiet stillness of the industrial lots.

The shot bought the pretty boy to his knees, blood bubbling from his luscious lips. Alice hears the shot and the thud of the unfortunate's body; he whimpered and he bubbled his potentially last breaths.

Fresh blood pumped from his shattered body.

Inside the warehouse, Ale drops to her knees and prepares.

Longstreet darts out from behind his pillar and fires a solid shot at the leather clad Kindred; she didn't rock with the blow, nor did she drop. She simply turned toward his position as the Haunt ducked behind the pillar.

She smiled.

Chain saw continues stalking down Ale's side of the building... He's close. Almost too close for comfort.
