PrP J&V - To Kill A Fetch...

[Xadun]

First Floor

Titania moves up the stairs. She can spot Circe and Trip circling - Ram and Gerrit are no-where to be seen. Just in time for the shots of the handgun to ring through the air.

Focused on the "man" in front of him, Trip roars in pain and lunges at Circe, aiming to take her our of the fight.

2021-09-02 10:05:26	Trip rolls 11 to Fighting: Strength 4 + Brawl 2 +2 (All-out attack) (10 Again, WillPower)	1, 10, 5, 4, 9, 4, 2, 5, 6, 10, 6, 5, 7	3 successes

Trip's defense is 0 for this round.
Circe takes 2 or 3 Bashing (Defense pending).

Second Floor

Gerrit's call sounds more like a gutteral roar as his Ogrish instincts took over. As he pounds into the office, he sees the Fetch - a near copy of Ram's Mask - levelling the shotgun again and dives over the hulking fireman. He has just enough time for Michael to react with horror to the scarified Ogre's visage.

Feeling Gerrit's arm's wrap around him, Michael brings a firm elbow for the shoulder and knocks the Winter away - just in time to get another powerful slug from Ram in the face. The Summer feels the Fetch's nose break with a crak and blood starts pouring down his face.

He reels back staring panickedly between the ogres closing in on him. "The hell are you things?!" He stammers to himself, before firing at Ram again.

2021-09-02 10:34:46	The Fetch rolls 2 to Dex3 + Firearms2 +1 (Equip) - 4 (Armour) (9 Again)	2, 5	failure

From this distance the blast doesn't go wide, but Ram's riot gear soaks up the rest of the shot.

Michael takes the 2 Bashing. Aeolus if you wish Gerrit can make a Wits+Empathy roll for the Fetch. Ram can make the roll at a -2.
Scourge - Apologies for forgetting your armour. I crosschecked the Wiki for this - Armour subtracts dice and this shotgun has a base damage of 3. Even with the Armour and acommodating for the downgrading factor of Riot Armour, Ram still took 4B from the previous attack as 1 success was still gained.

Please can everyone include their defenses and relevant equipment in their posts to make things easier on me crosschecking things?

Titania is up!

Initiative Order:
Michael (the Fetch) 16 [Def 3, 5B]
Trip 15 [Def 2, 2L/1B, 1WP spent]
Titania 14
Circe 13 [4B]
Gerrit 12
Ram 8 [4B]

[Titania]

It's going to be in and out, they said. We'll just grab him and knock him out in the Hedge, they said. No other casualties or dangers involved.
You can understand her panicked reaction when not only multiple gunshots fly about (HINT: in a firestation its bound to attract authorities, sooner rather than later) but one of her own coworkers, well, alright, not a true coworker since she was here at the station just as a cover, but nevertheless, an a acquaintance is assaulted by no other than Circe.
Where did they learn about stealth and assault? Police Academy, the movie?

She stands back, all she can do - after all - is watch their backs and patch them up. Though, this whole thing is leaving a sour aftertaste in her mouth.

[Circe]

Circe's vest absorbs some of the impact that gets through her dodging, having to bite her cheek to not grunt at the surprising impact.


This was such a fuck up. At this point, the Summer was considering no longer trying to wound but just straight up drop the mortal, Ram's plan is already damned.

Circe's Defense is 3 and she has a general armor rating of 1 from her vest, further reducing the damage. Gerrit please prepare your pugilism post.

[Gerrit]

It would have been simpler - so simple - to just drop all the pretenses and worries and start bashing into that thievish monstrosity. He could bring himself to do it, though. He might be able to tell himself that it was really Ram's fight, that he didn't want to take that away from the Render.

The truth was that he was not ready to just dish out violence, much less so without any Glamour going through his body, with Stone's call being a mere memory in the back of his mind. What he did was resort to what he tried last time, to just replay the previous action in an exhausted stupor.

2021-09-03 16:35:26	Gerrit rolls 1 to grapple the Fetch (Str 3 + Brawl 1 - 3) (10 Again)	8	1 success

For some reason he managed to get a hold of the Fetch again. One of them would tire out first - he just hoped it wasn't him.

Equipment: Backpack - First aid kit, Rope (from climbing gear).

Ram is up.

[Ram]

Gerrit made another grab. Ram's mind tried to widen a little. Realize that another shot had sounded downstairs, that someone had shouted for 911, that he had a weapon he could use to deal lethal hurt, the pain thrumming in his gut.

The battlemind pushed it all out. It took note but all that wasn't the mission right now. Right now, he was beating the thing that had taken his life. Taken his face, killed his name. The Fairie's tool. They they had tried to make him. He wouldn't let it go on look like him! He'd pound in its face face till it was no longer his!

However, as much as he tried, he recognized the look he saw on it.

Sorry and thanks for waiting on me!

First Floor

Bleeding from the leg and chest, Trip is too focused on the gun-toting person in front of him to notice Titania. The beauty watches, and observes.

His wounds mounting up, he tries to protect himself by locking his target in a hold.

I did forget the defence, but it made it. Circe is grappled - if you make a Str+Brawl check you can act normally next round.
Being this close Trip's defence of 2 will apply to a firearms attack if you break free.

2021-09-06 07:58:17	Michael rolls 3 to Remain conscious: Stamina (10 Again)	2, 4, 10, 6	1 success

Gerrit can see the abject terror on the Fetch's face recognising it as no act. The Fetch's eyes glach to the floor where the sound of gunshots are coming from, giving Gerrit the opening to catch a hold of Michael again. This time he manages to pull the arms of the man behind him.

The hammerblow of Ram's iron fist feels something give in the Fetch's chest with a dull crack. Michael drops the shotgun, trapped in the grapple. Bruised and battered, blood leaks from his mouth, crimson red. He looks up at Ram, tears leaking from his eyes. ".... why?" he croaks.

Whether through his connection to the creature or some other means, Ram feels as if he can see into the creature's very soul and he just knows. It has no idea what or who Ram is. None of this is an act. "Michael" is just a man, full of fear, trying to defend himself from monsters. A man with a family, attacked out of the blue by a towering beast. So far as he can tell, without reason, without provocation. Just a man, trying to live his life.

He left Ram's old life behind, thirty years ago. Was he really the same person that did?

The air quivers, the Wyrd tentatively waiting for the act.

Michael takes the 4 Bashing, racking him up to 1 Lethal. His defence is 0 until his next turn from the Grapple.

Titania is up!

Initiative Order:
Michael (the Fetch) 16 [Def 3 (0 this round as grappled) 1L 7B]
Trip 15 [Def 2, 4L/1B, 1WP spent]
Titania 14
Circe 13 [3B, grappled]
Gerrit 12
Ram 8 [4B]

[Titania]

She stands back, ready to assist Circe in the unlikely case she's overpowered. As for Trip, she only wishes that Circe wouldn't harm him too much.
It's not their goal, after all.

Circe is up

[Circe]

As the fire fighter gets her in a hold, Circe's reflexes kick in. The safety is clicked on her gun. She needs to get free!

A kick sails out, but Circe is only a casual brawler. Why the Hell is Titania doing nothing?!

Gerrit tis thine turn.

[Gerrit]

Gerrits heart was beating quickly and heavily - this Fetch didn't know what it was. Were they doing the wrong thing? Should he feel sorry for it?
No. He was too exhausted to feel sorry. He went through too much himself and most of all he held nothing but contempt for this impostor that had everything Gerrit once had - even though this wasn't even his own Fetch, the Ogre's jealous mind latched onto the things others had and he couldn't have. He redoubled his efforts to make the Fetch unable to ward off Ram's blows.

2021-09-10 07:26:10	Gerrit rolls 1 to Immobilize the Fetch (Str 3 + Brawl 1 - 3) (10 Again)	6	failure

He didn't have anything left in him, though. It struggled too much and with Ram as its model there was just too much muscle for the tired Stonebones to overpower.

Ram is up.
