The Compound Resolution

[Seryna]

Cyrus kicks out at Conner. Cyrus’ expression is one of disgust at Conner or his actions. The kick shoots past Conner’s hand, missing Conner completely.

“Help me!” Cyrus compells.

He suddenly sounds panicked and frail. The mortal man stands behind Cyrus, his eyes wide. Those warm brown eyes turn to Conner at Cyrus's plea.

"What the!" The mortal man throws himself at Conner. The man appears to be acting recklessly, without thought of his own self preservation. With mortals in the room, each action should be weighed carefully.

Conner's left hand is hit by a well aimed punch from the mortal.

Albert notices that the man continues barreling towards Conner. Conner immediately notices that the masked man is now beside him, having grabbed at Conner and missed.

The door jolts in the frame and in a puff of dust and stale W40 residue, the hinges creak. The door hangs, not set quite right. Could Helen manipulate the door open now? It looks likely.

Helen can now push or kick the door and it will hang limply on the hinges and swing open. Helen can move into the room in her next post. Helen Kingsley should roll initiative - do not post an action into the fight. Take your turn when your turn in the initiative log comes.
Conner takes 3 B
Masked Man's total Resistance is 4, be sure to include that in your rolls, Albert Baker .
Masked Man's Defense is 2. Cyrus's Defense is 2. Mortal Man's defense is 2.

The initiative order Helen Cyrus - Masked Man - Conner - Albert Conner Wells is up!

[Conner Wells]

Another growl is wrested from Conner’s mouth as another player throws himself at him.

Good! More blood. More pain. More…

Shut up!!!

Conner turns Vitae in his form now to restore lost vitality, unwilling to lose any lead he might have in this fight. “He’s a monster!” He howls at the mortal, indicating Cyrus. There’s genuine concern in his voice as a little bit of empathy bleeds through his enraged countenance. He needs to get out of here. They all do!

He swings again at Cyrus, scoring another hit. Come on! Bleed you son of a bitch! Show yourself!

[Helen Kingsley]

Not so tough now, eh ?

Helen gives the door another kick for good measure and like that, the way is free... After a short look, she makes her way inside towards where the noise comes from.

[Seryna]

Cyrus gives a roar as the blade finds purchase. He lashes out, kicking his foot at Conner's midsection. It hits with supernatural force! Conner feels the flesh and dead organs take the impact. Cyrus is now studying Conner.

The masked man's eyes return to the sword. He grasps for Conner's arm. He manages to get a hand around Conner's sword arm. It does not seem to be a very good grip. Could Conner escape the grasp?

Conner takes 5 BASHING damage this round. Conner is now being grappled by the Masked Kindred. Break Grapple: Roll Strength + Brawl - STR to break hold. Masked Kindred has the same STR as Conner.

The initiative order Helen Cyrus - Masked Man - Conner - Albert Conner Wells is up!

[Albert Baker]

Al charged the masked man in pretty pathetic display of lack of skill and unfitness which indicated that some training might be necessary before engaging in situations like that again.

It seemed he either made some calculation errorwith the charge or the air happened to be somehow more dangerous than any of the opponents.

[Helen Kingsley]

Three on one ?

Not that those guys don't have the right idea, they're just not on the right team. Too bad, eh ? As she closes the distance, she sees Conner swamped in the grapple with masked guy and someone who matches the description of Cyrus pretty well. Theres another guy, but hey, Cyrus is the most important and he pummels Conner who's distracted, so time to even out the odds somewhat.

As soon as she's in range, she goes into Cyrus fist first to say 'hi!'

[Conner Wells]

Conner howls as Cyrus finally snaps and lashes out. This is a hit unlike any he's taken in a while...a desperate, flailing strike from something stronger than human. He swears he can almost hear ribs buckling under Cyrus' foot. No! More Vitae pulses through his body and mends fatigue and muscle, though Conner can feel his reserves running low. ​Got to end this soon. Where the hell is...

And then Helen careens into the fight, lashing out with her own superhuman strength and Conner smiles. The predator is pleased. Time to turn the tide...

"ENOUGH!!!"
Conner flexes both arms and, with more mundane strength than supernatural, turns his blade on the Masked Man as his aggressor's grip is broken. In the moment he's not too picky on who gets hurt right now, mortal or Kindred. What matters is that he perseveres. That his team wins.

[/vtr] Conner will spend his maneuver on the "Attack with Drawn Weapon" option (WoD core p. 158), inflicting I believe 2 Lethal on Masked Man (excess suxx for grapple break) [/vtr]

[Seryna]

The masked man grunts as he moves away from conner, a hand on the cut on his arm. He moves to tackle Albert, yet hurtles past the Mekhet.
