She hears metal flying through the air finding their targets with a soft thud. Guns go off. Mable stands very still listening, smelling, and waiting. She can smell and hear things being set on fire. She notes the nearest exit, just in case.
As she stands there, she can feel her claws ready to push their way out. But she holds them in for now. She waits for the action to get nearer to her.

Josef bursts from his hiding place among the shadows and lunges with dramatic speed and purpose at Old Hand. He gets his man in a near perfect thrust. Old Hand doesn't feel it, such is the speed and deadly grace of the attack. He only knows that Josef is suddenly in his face with a fencing foil in hand.
Funny, Old Hand had never given such flimsy looking weapons much though. Till now. A light of panic starts to shine in the old fellow's jaded, vacant, eyes.
The Ventrue's move is almost completely obscured by the rushing, noisy, explosion of the Giant. Bellowing an inarticulate cry, the hulking Freak launches himself at Twist. His arm moves almost delicately past his belt and there is a faint popping as a ball and chain materialise from his hip. He hurls his weapon and himself against the Archon.
With his inhuman speed he is now delicate ballerina of death. Instead he is a bull; a comet; a meteor blazing a trail of destruction across the floor.

Twist was truly a magnificent sight as she felled Dirge with the throw of her knives. And instantly, Ale is thankful to be on the good side of the delicate Daeva.
Dirge falling sets everything into motion. The dogs attack, and in her dead heart, she wants to defend Alice, tear those dogs off her. But she can’t, there is a bigger threat.
Those cocktails, once lit and thrown, threatening to send them into a mass frenzy. And she didn’t know enough Animalism to pull them back from that.
In her mind she apologizes to the Haunt, her Coterie Mate, silently hoping she can hold the dogs off long enough to let one of the others help her.
The gun shot brings her thoughts back in time to see Josef appear with his fencing sword and actually hit his mark.
Dark eyes focus on one of the followers with the cocktail, they needed those gone.
In one fluid motion hands reach into the holsters at her side and the guns are drawn, leveled at one of the followers, the one closet to her, and she gently squeezes the triggers. She would need to close the distance at some point and rend the flesh of his body, but for now, she lets her guns do what they do best. Rip and tear through flesh and muscle.
Ale has both the gunslinger and ambidextrous merits

A faint lifting of an eyebrow is all the reaction that Twist gives, or perhaps has time for, as Dirge collapses from her thrown knives. As the warehouse explodes into motion, she feels the sting of the bullet only a moment before the Giant rushes her with his own gift of damage.
The plus side was that now she didn't have to choose who her next target was.
Again, a knife is drawn but this one is different than the previous two. Instead of the smooth contours of carefully formed metal designed to cut through air, this knife is solid in blade and hilt. It is meant to damage and it makes no qualms about it. Spinning it into a reverse grip, she grins and launches into her next fight.
Twist spends 1 Vitae to heal 1 lethal which I will note when I get to a computer that has advance posting capabilities

Ale burst into action while Twist continues her deadly dance with the giant.
Twin shots ring out, the sound accompanied by shrieks and the shattering of glass. The two camp followers, mortals both, collapse from their wounds. The molotov's drop from their palsied fingers, shatter and burst into consuming flame with a hideous whoosh. The hapless camp followers fall into their own flames. And burn!
The dance between the ballerina and the comet changes when Twist turns on a heel and lunges at the giant. He is moving fast (thanks to his ongoing Celerity). No sound comes from him as Twist strikes, only a great effusion of blood exploding from his side.
The Bearded Lady swears loudly as thecamp followersburning flames go off on either side of her. The Daeva Freak retains her composure while she hefts Dirge bodily onto her shoulders and flees through the nearest exit. The whole range of motions in lost in a Celerity fuelled blur; only her harsh croak is left, echoing in vacant space.
In the midst of it all, the hell hounds continue to tear madly at Alice. The first, already wounded by the Haunt's fang, scrabbles vainly in the fray. The second, merciless, almost clambers onto her back in a primordial frenzy.
And an Old Hand yowls and fires madly at the nearest thing (Josef) while trying to fathom why it hurts all of a sudden. Surprised by the screams - and smell - of his comrades; completely flummoxed by Josef who has suddenly appeared, sword in hand, at his side, the Old Hand fires off a panicked shot that only shreds nearby crates into flinders.
INITIATIVE
Twist (2L) (C)20 - Bearded Lady (Left) 13 (C) - Hell Hound #1 (3L) 12 Hell Hound #2 12 - Old Hand (4L) 12 - Alice (3A 4L, torpor) 11 -Camp Follower#1 11-Camp Follower#2 11- Josef 10 - Mable 10 - Giant 10 (5L) (C) - Dirge (Torpor, Left) 9 - Alessandra 9
Bearded Lady, Giant - Celerity Activated
Quick Draw - Bearded Lady, Giant,
NOTE: Hell Hounds use raw dice rolls. I have calculated Alice' Defence into the results.
The Camp Followers are burning to death in puddles of their own flames. I'm calling for Rotschrek rolls in addition to your regular combat posts - its in the middle of a fight and there a very naked flames nearby, not to mention all the writhing and screaming...
The roll: Resolve + Composure + 2 (reasonably safe distance) requiring 2 success (sight of a torch, not quite a bonfire... yet)
Alice would go next but she has been savaged into Torpor. She drops in a bloody mess with dogs all around her...
Josef CMS is up!
Josef saw the flaws before anything else, and fear gripped him. A sudden betrayal of his beast, a roar that only had one goal: Flee. But Josef mastered himself, remembered all the nights he had lived through, and how he would not fall at this crucial moment. He was a Lord, and with an arrogance unrivaled by the demons of hell, Josef steeled himself against the threat, and with slashed once again, his conviction bringing fury down on the worm who had dared to try to injure him. The shot had not anything vital, but there was a insult there: The guy had dared to shoot at him.
Out of his eye, Josef noticed that the Haunt had gone down, as he pushed his attack, he wondered if he too would join her, or if the could somehow save her.
Pardon my mistake.

Mable was hiding in the back of the warehouse near Alice. The hell hounds attack on Alice was horrifying and enrage Mable. Her claws pushed through her fingers as she charged at the und who was on Alice's back.
In a barely controlled rage Mable sank her claws into the hound. The smell of blood surrounded her. Mable's beast screamed in her head... BLOOD.... Must have Blood. Mable in return gave a gutteral growl as she torn into the hounds flesh with both hands. "GRAAAAHHHHHH"

@Mabel Psychangel Please read above - I've also asked for Frenzy checks due to the two fires burning in the warehouse. Thanks
