sure thing.. I'd have worried about the warranty otherwise…  I'm going in plainclothes tonight.. I'm not so much worried about you an Belle, but the rest havn't seen me yet so to speak.  I have no desire to need to get patched back together cause of "friendly fire" again… Maz looks worried as he dumps the box of ammo into a shoulder satchel

You'll understand if i'm a little reluctant to be around accellerant again.

Once we're through I'll do my best to start sniffing out Belle, and hope that hoodoo shaman guy can keep up.

This is it…

Maz steps one foot into the portal, and the colors start to fade out

A deep growling is the first thing heard on the other side.  A large grey wolf stands at the ready sniffing and trying to watch all directions at once.  A fairly large red haired man has his back turned to the gate squatting on his heels clutching a bone-white spear in one hand and a carved figure in the other.  Aside from the spear and figure he looks, plain, dressed in clothes that wouldn't be out of place anywhere.  He cocks his head and rises to his feet back still turned to the new arrivals.

I'm assuming you're the people I was waiting for right?  If you have no idea what I'm talking about this is a REALLY bad trip.  Go home and sleep it off k?

The wolf stops growling and slowly circles Maz, sniffing and looking him over.  Aegir catches the package handily before turn around to face the pair.  His long red wild hair almost covers a face covered in blue tattoos of lines and circles.  He has more tattoos visible on his neck and arms where not covered by a t-shirt.  He grounds the butt of his spear firmly and leans on it.

I can't say for sure what's really effective.  Sten here scared off what little resistance there was before I got a good hit or two in.  I'm still waiting on Gunnar to get back from scouting ahead so I carved up a little something from some of the extra antler.  It's not much but it's been imbued with a portion of power, enough it should atleast work if all else fails.  Good call on the gifts too, I'm sure you'll probably find out why in a little bit here.

Aegir laughs and steps forward, pulling a carved stag knife from his belt.  He hands it over to Andy handle first.  Sten meanwhile has finished his inspection of Maz and snorts before heading back to his watch.  He looks back and fixes Aegir with an amber eye.

"They better have brought steaks for everyone.  Damn imitations is all he is.  You know we could of handled this ourselves right?"

At the wolf's continued speech and the owl's chipping in, Andy pulls a small pill bottle from her pouch, gives it a close quint, then shrugs amiably and replaces it.  Awright, waal iffin' I ain't seein' 'ner hearin' things this time, 'en… 'ow 'bout you try lookin' fer stuff that don' look like it's outter some campy horror flick, Hedwig?  Folk we's lookin' fer's 'live an' breathin' – so's you gonna tell us you seen some folk like 'at somewheres, 'er are you sayin' yer cussin' 'cuz yer lingo outdoes yer 'bility ter spot th' broad side'a a barn?  'Sides, way I saw it, the spooks is huntin' our buddies – look fer where-all they's lookin, neh?

Gunnar puffs up.

"Hey lady, you try to dodge freaky %@#$'n bird monsters and creepy crawlers looking for people probably hiding underground.  It's not a &**'n walk in the park you know."

Aegir sighs.

Can't help who your family is or rather in this case was.  It looks like I'm descended from foul-mouthed @#$holes.

Both Sten and Gunnar snicker at the last line.

I suppose that Bear's Market is as good a place as any to start.  I have no idea how to get there from here so someone else is gonna have to lead on.  I'll try to keep these animals in line but I make no promises.

((OOC:Sad thing is, Both of them are based off my real family members!  It's all downhill from here))

Naw, thank'ye kindly tho, birdy, I got 'nuff trouble dodgin' all'a th' whinin' yer doin' ter cover yerself – think ya kin keep 'er down b'low a hunnert dessib'ls?  Andy grins and winks at Aegir.

Glad ter meet'cha all, 'course, e'en iffin' some'a ya did git yer names fr'm 'at Piers Anthony book.  As fer where ter go, nodda prollem, distance's all 'at's separatin' us fr'm 'ere, cuz I knows th' way.  Lemme jes git m'bearin's a sec…  Andy shimmies up the closest tall object, in this case a towering shadowy pine a short distance away, and returns a few minutes later.  Flicking her thumb more-or-less towards where town was, she continues.   'Kay, welp, we's almost where-all yer camp's at, Aegir, but what I seen fr'm up 'ere's kinda funny-lookin'.  Town's e'en creepier an' ragged-lookin' 'n b'fore, an' th' lighthouse's back up an' glowin' like a friggin' phosphor bloom – got me a bad feelin', 'ere.
