Aegir looks concerned.


I probably wouldn't suggest it either.  I've been in a few spirit worlds and not even the one filled with spiders was as creepy as this one.  I'm almost afraid to ask Gunnar to scout ahead around here.  Sten, you see anything?


The wolf looks around.


"I don't see jack.  It looks like every other human city to me."

Clotho and Lachesis snarl a warning as Atropos reaches behind her, her pack dropping a pair of pistols with extended magazines into her hands. She aims one toward the Court as the creatures suddenly start running from it and TOWARD the group.

Incoming!

Aegir whirls about as his tattoos glow a pale white, visible even under his clothing.  A ghostly armor settles around his form with a Norse-style helm.  His spear almost seems to be vibrating in anticipation.  He glares at the approaching creatures through the goggle-like visor on his helm before shouting.


STEN!  GUNNAR!  Cut the horse%@# and protect the newbies!


The wolf and owl sprout their own ghostly armor before they circle Maz and Andy.

Andy smirks and casts a small, glinting object into the heart of the approaching mob.  A moment later, the crowd is rended from its middle by a massive fireball and shrieks of pain and outrage.  Her face limned in crimson by the sudden flare of light, Andy grins viciously.  Who y'all callin' newbies, Beastmaster?

Atropos aims her handguns at an almost skeletal man covered in gashes and fires twin bursts into it, vaporizing it's head and the torso of the creature behind it.

The cougars leap onto a pair of other creatures, bearing them to the ground and quickly snapping their spines with hard bites to their necks as the other creatures flow around them and continue fleeing.

Newbies.


Aegir shakes his head slightly as ghostly threads sprout from the shaft of his spear.  The threads grow and thicken into wrist thick tendrils before he almost casually spins and throws the spear into the back of a fleeing creature.  The threads react immediately and begin to wrap themselves around the creature till it's firmly cocooned.


Never hurts to have someone to ask some questions!

Andy brays with laughter, draws a pistol, and serenely blows the left kneecap off a curiously-festooned obese clown-shape.  Not bad, tho I pr'fer ter keep m'weapon in, like, m'hand, y'know?

Atropos shrugs and points at what appears to be a rotweiller with a human head. The other two leap upon it rendering it semi-concious with hammering blows of paw to it's head before pinning it to the ground under their weight.


We prefer more…direct solutions.

Aegir looks back at the ladies and shrugs.


Direct?  I can do that too.


With a quick grin he dashes forward and seizes a vaguely humanoid creature with folds of shaggy, elephant like skin.  He spins the creature about to deliver a devastating head-butt before lifting it over his head and tossing it with a roar into a nearby wall.  Aegir barks a quick laugh before dashing towards the nearest creature and pummeling it.

Andy opens her mouth to make a suitable snark in reply, but the words freeze in her throat as her eyes bug out and her jaw works loosely, her arm tremblingly pointing at the approaching behemoth behind Aegir's unawares back.  Moha… mosssa… mohasa.. MONSTER!  Run!  Andy sprints a short distance down the street, turns at finding herself unaccompanied, and yells at the top of her lungs: Move!  Seeb it effing eat HOUSES in m'dream!  Fear lending her speed, she turns and sprints down an alley in the opposite direction.

Sten and Gunnar both rush towards Aegir who is standing victoriously shouting insults at the fleeing creatures.  In mid-insult, something surprisingly crude about a human-dog's parentage, both animals seize hold of him and try to drag him away.  Sten growls around a mouthful of pantleg…


"Time to go numbnuts!  Unless you wanna fight that thing behind you!"


Aegir starts and peeks over his shoulder.  He jerks a bit at the sight before facing forward with a vicious grin.  The grin fades as he watches the departing party before he starts to almost pout.  He dashes forward out his companions' grip and snags his spear dragging along the cocooned creature behind him.  He keeps peering over his shoulder as he dashes to catch up.

The cougars run beside Andy and Maz, occasionaly dropping back to behind Aegir while Atropos runs to the side, fireing a couple shots, causing small explosions on the thing's face and body before disappearing down a seperate alley. Her voice blairs from one of the Cougar's helmets.


Go!  Head toward the lighthouse, I'll run interferance.

Sprinting at her best speed, Andy nevertheless simply cannot match the cougars' of Maz's pace, hindered by her emaciated state.  Snarling a mouthful of curses in frustration she reaches into various pockets, skids to a halt, and pirouettes in place.

Flitting like doves from her hands and sailing serenely through the air, half a dozen brightly gleaming, spiked spheroids find homes for themselves, embedded in the surrounding buildings' facades.

Watching with devilish pleasure, Andy resumes her pell-mell scramble away from the beast.

Atropos drops down from a roof and onto the street. She reaches into a pouch on her hip and scatters a double handful of small ceramic spheres on the ground before catching up to Andy and the cougars.

As the creature steps on some of the spheres, they burst into blinding blue-white light for a moment, causing it to lose balance and stumble into the wall of a building.
