    I believe there's still time for Abe to perform his last action (the Occult roll) before Init is rolled, therefore I pasted the dice here. Please let me know if this is incorrect

    This needs to be done quick. Those flames sure burn hot, and every second wasted means a bigger chance of reinforcements appearing. It'd be a shame to turn this whole place into a slaughterhouse before its time. With spring in step, Abraham thrusts his blade on Wax Dreads, the one not coerced by his words, the one not smelling of his own Court.

    With any luck her more timid companion will give up, and they can go their separate ways - Abraham informed, these two, well... alive.

    Abraham activates the Moulinet maneuver of Fighting Style: Fencing. If his attack is successful, it deals (whatever damage is left after subtracting Defense and Armor) + 4 (Abe's Dexterity). If the attack didn't require him to move, he'll also try to position himself between his opponents and the door leading to the corridor.

    Wax Dread's cocky smirk freezes. Seeing the knight in action, then she gasps, blood coating her lips, she collapses to the ground, wounds pooling bright, sizzling as her own flames continue to burn.

    Coal Eyes roars! Glamour burns off him, as his flames jump and dance, in time with the spray of the dying womens sputtering heartbeat. He and them craving to devourer, destroy, burn!

    His blade sinks in the flame-coated flesh, then pulled out swiftly - it's enough. One foe down. But it means not enough attention is paid to the other one, and the fire makes Abraham pay dearly for that mistake. Teeth are grit so strongly they almost turn into dust as the smell of burned meat and fabric permeats the air.

    The Flowering turns to face Coal Eyes, pain numbing his arm, but the blade flies straight towards its target. That's for softening the man. Let's see if we can make him hesitate using the very same Desire that gives him such power.

    Sloth Edit: Combat turns, you can only say 3 syllables unless you want to give up your action to speak. I've made the assumption that you want to carry out your attack instead of speaking if this is wrong tell me. Woland

    I cannot think of anything worth saying in place of the attack, so we could assume Abraham stays silent. I've also seen the attack roll, so I guess it means he's (effectively) dead?

    Another roar, covering the gurling of his companion, pain spearing him, glad of his Blessing, he presses forward, once more needing to burn.

    Coal Eyes, kneels next to Wax Dreads, grabbing a shirt that was one the floor, he wraps it around his lover's wound. It's not enough. The shirt soon stained with blood. Panicked. He picks her up, with hurried strides, she makes his way to the bathroom door. When he opens it, it opens to the hedge.

    He closes the door behind him and the pair of them are gone.

    Circe enters, closes the door, and tries to navigate towards the window that Abraham used. She would probably have to start bullshitting to get him out of whatever trouble he was in if there were people inside. It shouldn't be too, who gets lost in a small building?

    Circe Origins splitting the post like I should have done before


    Circe, has an eye for this. Stepping from the matanciance closet, and into the hallway, she can count the doors, and remember the number of windows between her and the one the Spring had climbed through.

    Finding the door, and moving towards it, takes a minute, but she dose find it. A brass 17 on the door. A do not disturb sign is hanging on the knob. There's a ringing silence, when there had been noise only moments before.

    Testing the door, Circe finds that it's locked.



    Abe



    Abraham Norton Knight of Spring lays in his own blood as it pools, hot and cold and sticky, by a thread he is holding on, thin and fraying. It would take a miracle bring the Knight back from the brink.



    Two posting rounds have passed, Abe is now at 4Ag3L. He will be dead in 2 minutes. It is nearly impossible for him to be saved at this point.

    Circe decides to get this door open too. It would probably be faster then trying to break it down or shoot it out without the proper munitions. Plus no eyes on her so she works in half the time.

    Circe's gotten plenty of practice in such a short amount of time, the lock pops, and the weight of the door has it opening itself.

    The scene the door opens to is a horror.

    The bed smoders, fire rising, the stink of the polyester blend snakes through the air, but it doesn't cover the scent of burned skin, and blood. Which pools, under the Spring Flowering. Sword gleaming, reflecting the slow, seemingly inevitable demise of it's Knight.



    Circe can try a Medicine Roll to Stabilize Abe, Dex + Medicine - 4 Lack of Tools - 4 Imminent Danger
