    Night had fallen, the Lost were ready. Hidden a ways away from the 58,500 square foot warehouse complex, several warehouses lay, three of which are identical, with only one being rented by "A. Gentry." The fallen Queen Anne. Circe having planned ahead, and already hacked the blueprints knows which of those 635 square feet, two story buildings is the correct one.

    Which is the one on the far side of where they are now.

    They could chance it and cut through the complex to reach Anne's building, or they could take the long way and go around.



    This is a Direct continuation from Game Day Prep. If you spent WP/Glamour not it down with your Equipment/Stats which I want to see in every post!!

    Mien:
    Leathery scars, bruises and scaly scabs cover the whole hairless body. There is a certain symmetry to the disfigurements, the color of the visible skin ranging from pale pink to purple and dark red. Lately patches of dark blue and black - frostbite - have appeared on his skin and some of the scabs have frozen over and crystalized.
    His right hand shows a copper-coloured, wilted and flaky scar, engulfing most of his palm and the inside of his wrist. Next to frostbite and bruised scars it adds a third layer of wounds bore by the Ogre.

    Mantle:
    Contrast seem to grow slightly more stark around Gerrit, the crisp clearness of a winter morning. Sometimes the sound of ice forming or breaking can be heard in a short, brisk snap. When using Contracts a subtle, biting cold can be felt around Gerrit - pins and needles prick both the Onyx and those close to him.

    Crown:
    Solid, thick panes of clear ice symmetrically arranged around his head with fern frost at the base.

    Motley Pledge

    Only a result of 10 on a die is considered a success. Should a given die result in no successes, the failure is considered to be a dramatic failure, though the oathbreaker may spend a point of willpower to negate this, making it a regular failure.

    Doubts plagued the Ogre while he made his way to the meeting point. Had he been steamrolling the others into taking the sub-optimal plan? Someone had to make a decision. We were going in circles. Maybe. Maybe not. For now they had to move forward and make the best out of their situation.

    He wore and carried the same things he brought to the prep-meeting. He didn't own a ski-mask, so if Circe really wanted them to go that way, maybe she'll bring some. Looking around his dark surroundings, Gerrit considered asking Smoke for assistance. With his.. strained relationship with the Wyrd that could backfire immensely. On the other hand, he had always been able to rely on it and he probably needed every edge he could get.

    Gerrit looked for sooth-covered walls, the exhaust fumes of the city, and the remnants of fires big and small in the air - and asked for another favor.

    Dramatic Failure, prevented by spending WP


    The mark of the Oathbreaker apparently was more prominent than any frostbitten bruise on the Stonebones. Smoke heard his call, but rather than help Gerrit it wanted to shun him. It took sheer force of will and some apologizing for the Onyx to at least prevent the worst.
    But he knew that he was basically on his own.

    Was this the best plan? No, the best plan was Rhodes pledged Circe to buy proper body armor for all with funds from said pledge. And everyone mask up and flood the place with gas. Or just blow it up.


    Circe solution to "obvious armor" was stupid but plausible given certain communities in many cities. Cloaks were out of fashion for centuries but some overly dramatic folks still wore them. That and she'd not put the armor on until just after they got here. The fact that it came with a facial covering negated her need for a mask, thank you whatever country this came from. That said, she still got a couple for the others in case they wanted to not become famous.


    Or not want to wear a gas mask the whole time. As it was, the came up beside Gerrit, adjusting the cloak to cover what she wore and try to had the assault rifle. There wasn't a way to hide the bayonet sticking out.


    Circe pulls out the dart gun, ready to shoot someone to slumber. She looks to Gerrit and tries to break the tension, "Did ya want the leather jacket? Not the best armor, but I didn't think ta grab my Hedgespun."

    Softly shimmering gold flakes catch the light whenever she moves, delicate gilded and diamond scales extenuate the luminescent sapphires that are her eyes. The ocean lives in Sera's eyes, perfectly cut sapphires, gleam in the light. Deeper shades always shifting like the tide. The scales trail up to her temples and forehead. Her hair reaches down her back, brushing the back of her calves, spun silver and gold. Perfectly placed streaks of sea green are seen throughout her hair. Very fine diamond dust falls loose from her hair when she moves, reflecting rainbows from the light. The scales on her hands are dulled by the simple fact that her hands are translucent. There was an iridescent scale like skin that pulled delicately up from her ears. The membrane shimmered and created three curly points.

    Treasured Nix

    The Nix appears dressed as she was earlier; sturdy, fitted black tactical pants and a black tank top. Over which she had one of her Hedgespun jackets, this one designed to help protect her. On the left pocket of the pants, near her hip, there was a small patch of a rain drop. Steel toed boots were on her feet and her long hair was in a braid that was then wrapped into a bun. Best to not give anyone any hair to grab onto. Strapped to her right upper thigh was the dagger Circe had made her. But she had added a black knit cap.

    She had debated evoking her Contract before she arrived, but figured it could wait until they were in place. No use bringing unwanted attention until she needed to.

    Was she nervous? Very much. This could either good as planned and they all walk out, or badly and some don’t walk away. Each would have to be smart and careful if they were to all walk away. Oh, how she hoped the all walked away. Or limped. She could handle limping.

    Walking up, a hand absently touches her wedding ring, finding a strength in it.

    “We just about ready?” she asks, “Want me to enter first?” if the eyes were on her, the others should be able to get in easier.

    Circe did not disappoint in the equipment department. That was a little bit of comfort in the face of his failed attempt at using a Contract. Still, he declined her offer with a short shake of his head. "Thank you, but I think I've got that covered." Although he hadn't tried using his Kith-bound blessing ever since he got cursed. Maybe that would fail him too? Then again, continuing with that logic it was also possible that the leather jacket would trip him up or something.

    Best not to dwell on that.

    Seraphina got a nod and a weak smile. Should they be waiting for Rhodes? Did his enchanting wife know anything of his whereabouts?
    Also something he maybe shouldn't be worrying about right now. "I'm as ready as I could be. Do we want to risk taking a shortcut or go slow and methodically? Maybe we should get a read on the area first before we send you in."

    I'll give you guys a few days to decide if you want to cut through or go around while we wait for Rhodes Xadun but if he doesn't enter, we'll go on ahead without him.

    "So," she looks at those who have gathered. Not enough for how'd she would like it done. "Everybody got their masks for hiding flesh and for protecting vis ah vis gas? Might be best ta go the longer route. Sneakier and less likely ta be spotted by Anne's crew or some mundies."


    At least that was her argument for being stealthy in heavy armor. At least her kit wasn't clanking plate armor.

    She nervously looked around, a knot forming in the pit of her stomach.

    Where was Rhodes ? Did something happen to him on the way over? Did Ann already get to him?! That thought sent a shock of panic down her back. If Ann had found Rhodes and done anything to him, she rain hell upon her head!

    Swallowing, “I say slow and methodically. It will give us time, like you said, to get a read on the area.” And then she’d go in.

    To Circe, a shake of her head, “A mask will work against what I’m doing.” she'd just have to risk it, "So I say we get going."

    "I've got my gas mask." Although Circe asking about that and Seraphina implying that she wanted to charm any guards meant that they still weren't completely on the same page. Gerrit just hoped that he wouldn't have to mediate between two Fairest egos.
    But maybe he was just reading the room wrong.

    The Ogre followed with a short nod. "Slow and steady is fine with me." If they were lucky they'd get done without much conflict. But that was a big 'if'.

    Cutting through might have been quickest to their goal, but it was a risk. and everyone knows slow and steady wins the race. The Lost decide to go around.

    It's a benefit to Anne's aesthetic choices that this block of warehouses are the only buildings not surrounded by a flat plain of dead grass and asphalt. Instead there's a summer green lawn. Manicured and picture perfect. With sever accent bushes, and tree shaping and framing the property line.

    Which means there's places to hide.



    as it's been around 10 days since this has opened, we're going to move on without Rhodes Xadun for now, he can catch up later, (if he does want to, or is able to post in) I'll figure something out

    Also, can I please have Dex+Stealth and Perception(remember Clarity) rolls please!
