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

[Ram]

For the first time since entering the building, Ram hesitates. Not the small pauses to make a choice but in what he was doing.

He could… feel it. Him. The fetch. The confusion at what was going on. The genuine lack of understanding at what Ram was or why the attack was happening. The fear… of what would happen to his family if he died here.

“You’re Their tool,” he said, Voice weaker than before. Catching. It rang hollow from when he’d said before. He tried to summon his rage again. Bury the hesitation. The sympathy. To go back to the Battlefield where there was no space for seeing the enemy as… people. He wasn’t a person. IT wasn’t a person.

That thought rang hollow too.

But it was also too late. Ram was trapped. He’d brought his friends here on a mission. And violence… it was the only way forward. Summer demanded it. Seeming required it. It was the story that forced itself onto all Ogres. And the blows fell, though without the rage from before.

First Floor

As the fireman spins with Circe in the melee, he catches sight of Titania. "Elle! Get away! Call the police!" There is desperation clear in his voice.

He lunges for Circe again trying to pin her and prevent use of the gun again.

Circe is grappled - Origins , you need 4 successes on Str+Brawl to escape.

Ram's fist connects like a hammer with the Fetch's face. Bone cracks under the blow, and blood leaks from Michael's mouth.

2021-09-11 08:06:42	Michael rolls 4 to Desperate plea: Manip 2+Persuade 2 (10 Again)	3, 7, 2, 7	failure

The Fetch bursts free of Gerrit's gripand staggers backwards for the door. "Who's tool? Please.... dont do this..."

His words are slurred by blood and bruising, holding his cracked ribs. The last plea of a desperate man.

Michael spends 1WP to increase his defense to 5 for the round.

Titania is up!

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

[Titania]

All she can do is watch and wait, and fix the pieces in the unlikely case Circe falls.
One thing is certain, neither Trip nor Circe are going to die tonight.

She nods to Trip, and enters the next room, she's got a cover to keep up with.
Circe is next

[Circe]

Circe had tried doing this the mundane way, but that wasn't working! She couldn't beat a beefcake in a fist fight. She wasn't supposed to just gun down the mundy. And she'd not been given the time to get rubber bullets or a dart gun. And the guy was like a pro-wrestler to boot!

The only good thing about being this close, is that magical finger pokes were a lot easier! Time for some magic. Let's see how well you move when your belt won't. In the struggle Circe will grasp for his belt to try and trigger it with Frozen Moment.

And that doesn't work either! The snarl that the Summer unleashes along with her Mantle going full blast of heat right in the mortal's face might cause some concern. Circe is having a bad time.

Gerrit is up , Circe is probably down :(

2021-09-13 00:40:05	Gerrit rolls 5 to ignore the plea (Res 2 + Comp 3) (10 Again)	9, 9, 2, 6, 2	2 successes

The Fetch's plea fell on deaf ears. There was too much pain that was not properly dealt with in Gerrit's life, too much exhaustion and too many setbacks to find any room for sympathy in the imposter's situation. The thing would get down and it would turn into sticks and stones and Ram could try to get his life back. The Stonebones regarded Ram with cold, bloodshot eyes. "It's not real. You are."

Then he tried to get a hold of the thing again.

Gerrit couldn't connect - his limbs felt sluggish, his energy spent. Ram needed to finish it himself and Gerrit hoped he wouldn't lose his resolve.

"You don't know Them." He knew it was true. And as messed up as it was... Ram wished he could explain. That this was for the best. That as a fetch he could bring down the Fairies on his family. Even if unintentional. That he... they.... were the same. That right now, Ram could understand why he... it... had done it. That the fetch had done what Ram had wanted to do. Wished he could do all those years ago. Ram found he couldn't hate him... it... for that. But that didn't make it... him... less of a threat. A tool. Like Ram was. Like the Gentry had made him... it... both of them.

"I'm sorry."

First Floor

Titania slips back out of sight into the back of the first floor. In among the lockers and people's possessions, showers and communal sapces.

Holding her in the bear hug, Trip manages to clip Circe's arm on the side, shaking the pistol free and sending it scattering across the floor.

Circe is still grappled and 4 successes on Str+Brawl to escape.

2021-09-13 09:14:04	Michael rolls 3 to Not pass out: Sta (10 Again)	4, 10, 2, 1	1 success

Somehow, the Fetch sidesteps Gerrit's attack - though it leaves him wide open to Ram's unending assault. The fist ploughs into Michael's ribs again and this time there is an audible snap.

Michael coughs up more blood. For someone who isn't human, the Fetch is a terrifyingly accurate replica of the human form.

2021-09-13 09:26:04	Michael rolls 6 to Stone 1: Str4+Wyrd2 (10 Again)	4, 6, 3, 4, 6, 5	failure

There is a dull flare of magic, like when a contract fails that the two Ogres can feel rather than see. There is certainly no outward sign of the magic on thw Fetch

Michael roars desperate defiance, tears leaking from his eyes, and throws himself towards his assailant, the twisted version of himself.

2021-09-13 09:35:43	Michael rolls 7 to Lash at Ram: Str4+Brawl4 -4 (Armour) (10 Again, WillPower)	8, 1, 9, 10, 3, 2, 1, 5	3 successes

With the full riot armour, the Fetch lashes out with a haymaker that catches the ogre square in the face. Ram's nose crunches horribly and blood begins to run down the Summer Ogre's face.

Urgh - I remembered the armour but forgot Ram's defence since I got used to him All-out attacking! Scourge , you can deduct dice from the right for Ram's defence since I can't recall it off-hand. If his defence is 3 or less, that will take you to full bashing, so you will need to roll Stamina to stay conscious each round (no wound penalties). One day I'll remember everything going on!

Michael spends 1WP to increase his defence to 5 for the round (again).

Titania is up!

[Titania]

Her best bet right now is stand back until Circe has performed the deed. Or come to her rescue if Trip is the one emerging successful.
She looks around, curious that she's never been to the men's locker room.

[Circe]

Circe was going to punch Titania for being so USELESS RIGHT NOW! And then Ram for this shit plan! Punches for everybody!


And then ask the monkey to kick her ass in hand to hand, so she'd learn to get good.

At least she was resisting him this time, even if the mortal still won out. And was the magic going to be failing too? She grasps at something on the fireman to freeze in place.

Gerrit go for TKO.

[Gerrit]

This thing just wouldn't go down and when Gerrit saw Ram bleeding he knew he would have to contribute, move his ass. He couldn't hide behind the excuse that it was Ram's fight anymore - if things went on like that he would lose his friend.

He couldn't have that. Gerrit swallowed hard, tried to position himself favourably and swung at the Fetch.

0 successes; missed that the Fetch spent WP to increase his defense. Would have reduced me to a chance die, but rolled a 9 on that.

2021-09-16 07:09:49	Gerrit rolls 2 to punch the Fetch (Str 3 + Brawl 1 - Defense 2) (10 Again)	9, 1	1 success

There was one problem: without any Glamour in his body he didn't feel like a legendary terrible brute - he felt like an asshole ganging up on some unsuspecting guy. That image made him hesitate and ultimately miss.
Hopefully he at least created some sort of opening for Ram.
