(Time Peace) Old London Town

[Yumyumcrow]

The Clock rings out again, summoning those who have prepared themselves for another desperate flight through time.

This time the contest will be in London, on a winters night in 1665. The year of the Great Plague. Somewhere in a fear stricken city, an old man works to complete a clockwork device. Somewhere in the city, four assassins move through the dark streets, heading for their next victim. Somewhere in the city, travellers from a distant time will either save an old man, carry away a clockwork device, or stop four assassins before they can do their grizzly work.

But which fate is set? Only Time will tell...

This is a TIME WAR scenario.

Post below with your character's entrance to the Circle and I'll take it from there.

Given the situation, a character may join in the Time Travel or in the Present Day Sanctum Assault - but not both!

Remember, include any equipment that your character's will be taking and the spells they have put in place in your first post.

As in previous Time War plots, character death is a possibility. In this conflict there are no prisoners.

Please, enjoy.

Quick note - I had originally Stickied the previous Clock scene. That meant it hits Continuity before the December Consilium thread. Characters have a month, almost, to prepare for this

[Winter]

No regrets my dear, always move forward never left nor right, as Ariadne told Theseus. The clock had called and they had to respond. It was as easy as that.
For hours he had practiced his craft, engraving both the palms of his hands with the runes of the misconstructed language now lost to the ages. Even smaller was the number of people who could perceive the small threads lining both his palms.
Like a shadow he moved furtive, clad in a black velvet jacket , a disguise to trick those, he figured, who could pierce the shroud of clandestinity his mind was projecting forward. A backpack stuffed with military rations, a torch and bottles of water on his back.
He moved closer, still wary of the other Obrimos, lingering on him for a few seconds. "Hmm", he says, shoving a cigarette in his mouth.

Vulgars Casted in scene: 0

OOC

Casted the rituals because afaik, the average successes rule applied just to higher than month-length duration rituals. HS has been included in the pools.
Runes have been engraved with Prime 2 supernal script, should be visible to anybody with Supernal Vision. Cancelling a rune means suspending the spell but its duration still runs out.
Anybody with mental Shield up can attempt a reflexive contested Gnosis + Mind roll vs pot 2 to notice him.
Let me know Yumyumcrow if everything is alright or something needs to be fixed, for example if I should take a +1 on the dox pool already. And thank you in advance

[Winter]

"You guys all packed?", he says, puffing on his cig, "got your vaccinations in order?", the tone is serious, but the intent is playful.

[Sand]

Clothing swapped, denim and jersey 4/ time appropriate material. Backpack replaced w/ leather satchel type bag. Various items w/ random value tucked carefully inside. Gender concealed b/c screw those dresses.

"Looks like it's going to be a path-building adventure unless someone else shows up..."

Tone = humorous b/c what else when it's January but costumes surround?

Nods offered to others in greeting after commentary.

Equipment: small first aid kit, quality knife, a length of rope, full water canteen

[Kaze]

"Yes, Sir." Kaze says seriously to Winter at his direct question, "I do know just enough Life to fight off an infection...but not enough to clear it from someone else, unfortunately." he says, apparently taking the part about vaccinations seriously too.
