Sattler has just burst from her human disguise into her fully metallic, glyph-covered self, four arms and everything. She’s going for her machetes.

There is a guy in the middle of pulling the gun out of his pants.

And there’s a demon in human form flying at you, glamor flickering away to reveal something grotesque, a form difficult to understand up close and on such short notice. (Toad: 24 HP)

You stifle the impulse to rip into the leaping demon with your claws. Sattler’s watching, she expects fire. Fire. Lots of fire.

You don’t think. You go all flame on with the dude. (-5 PP: 34/41)

The demon sails through the blast, only lightly singed by heat that should have boiled the flesh off his bones. (Toad: 23 HP)

Fire’s not so hot against an Infernus mix. You didn’t think this through.

Then next thing you know, you have a hundred pounds of putrid demon frog bowling you over and grinding you into the pavement, and you barely manage to force Toad’s huge wide mouth full of rows and rows of jagged teeth from gnawing off your face. (+3 Stress: 54)

Though you’re no pushover, you’ve also already been pushed over. He’s got weight and leverage, and in broad daylight, there’s nothing you can do to change that, without giving up who you are, or blowing up the city block.

You panic, and Toad rages again at your face, a pain blinding you as your blood-inscription shoulder grinds over the pavement. (+2 Stress: 56)

You seize onto the first thing that pops into your mind. “Sakheritahn!” you shout, wrenching a hand against Toad’s throat, focusing your will through the inscriptions in your shoulder and into the rough flesh beneath your fingers.

The demon seizes up, skin splitting around his neck, and blood gushing out from beneath your hands.

You take advantage of his momentary distraction to shove him off of you. He rolls aside, clutching at his throat, blood spilling freely from his mouth and eyes. (Toad: 13 HP +Severe bleeding)

>>40116558

You can feel his pain, sharp and full. That’s what happens to people that mess with you. (-6 Stress: 50)

You roll to your feet just in time to see the gunman on the steps finally get his gun free and aim it at you. And then a machete whips into his chest, punching him backward against the wall.

Sattler sweeps the other two guys on the steps with automatic gunfire. One forgets the whole thing and takes off at a dead sprint, running right down the road. Sattler smirks, looks over toward the runner, and lets out a shrill whistle. The glyphs on her forearms blaze brightly, surging with power, and the fleeing man explodes, like he’d been carrying an armed frag grenade. The mangled body hits the ground like a sack of potatoes.

Sattler stands over you, a steely expression affixed on her segmented, mechanical face. “What the fuck? You figured you’d impress a fucking demonbane by pumping up with some black fucking demon blood magic?” she asks, her eyes and body-glyphs blazing with raging power, her gaze falling on your bandaged shoulder. (Satt: 24 HP; 59 PP) “How’d you even fucking learn Zeshic School shit?”

Meanwhile, Toad struggles in vain to not bleed to death, coughing and spluittering not a few feet away. Sattler doesn’t spare him a glance, but does spares him a couple rounds to the head to shut him up. The demon suddenly ceases his struggles and goes still.

I'd rather not imply that Isaac has books on demon magic. He might, and it might be well in his right to own such books, but Sattler is insane and might take it the wrong way.

That's retarded. We had no idea what her glyphs did and Satt will 100% for sure just rag on us even more over it.

>>40117042
That's how you deal with difficult people. Get her ranting so she stops questioning, then redirect her into killing the other demons.

You trying to trick me?

What the hell did we even use on Toad? I don't think any of our blood spells are capable of cranking out 10 damage without RR or supercharge, and that was on a critfail too.

You adjust the strap on your MP5 – maybe you should have stuck to shooting things, this once. But whatever. You just have to do damage control.

“Well, it worked a whole lot fucking better than fire did,” you say, getting indignant. “I mean, it’s not like blowing somebody up by giving them the evil eye is any better.”

“The how matters,” says Sattler, sternly. “Blood magic does things to people. How the hell do I know it hasn’t done things to you, already?”

“Well, how do I know you blowing people up by whistling hasn’t done things to you?” you reply, mockingly. You think your best bet is to make it not a big deal. “I thought the important thing was killing demons. We nuked the Japanese, why can’t I blood magic demons to death?”

“Don’t treat me like some damn communist coming after your second amendment rights,” she says, but she lets the point slide, acknowledging the wisdom of your position. “Nobody knows Zeshic School outside the furnace,” she says, changing her angle. “It’s not common knowledge.”

You scoff. “Hello? Landmaster, master of earth, wind, and fire and crap, right here,” you say, jerking a thumb toward yourself. “I know a goblin merchant guy, sold me some scrolls or whatever when I was tripping planes a couple months ago on the hunt for a landwell.”

>>40117358
Pretty sure it was Blood Curse. He was hemorrhaging, and the first half of out shout contained the Heltic word for blood.

>>40117409

That gives Sattler pause, and you feel a momentary conflict of feeling within her. “Fuck. You know, I keep forgetting the landmaster thing,” she says, wagging a finger at you. She goes a couples steps up to yank her machete out of the guy that tried to shoot you, and wipes off both sides on his shoulder.

“Whatever. Just don’t tell Isaac, I don’t need him thinking I’m some Satan worshipping spawn of Satan,” you say.

Sattler laughs unkindly. “Yeah, well I’ll think about it,” she says, shaking her head and scowling. “Blood magic’s no joke, and I’m just going to up and say I’m pretty sure you can’t handle it.”

Wow. Now that’s a vote of nonconfidence. (+4 Stress: 54)

If you want to get out of this without Sattler breathing down your neck after this, you probably need to prove to her how hardcore and competent you really are.

Enough to know that we sure as hell weren't quiet, and that they're going to know we're coming. So, let's see what fire DOES work for and activate plan B.

Do you think I could set the whole building on fire?

Shadowrun trap solving!

Okay, that wasn't serious. Pop Monster out and tell her we're going to get it to scout so that we can see if anyone is trying to get away (high value targets) and then we can use him to scout for our Dip-bro-mat.

Other than that, see if she has any abilities that can let us know what we're going into so we don't get a face full of shotgun when we go in the door.

So aside from fire stuff, is there anything we can use without blowing our cover?

Like can we stain of sin our bullets without being noticed?

>>40117536
No, summons aren't safe to use. They're all obviously demonic as fuck. You're a tard.

>>40117515

If Sattler is busy doing stuff (like engaging in mortal battle with demons) you can probably get away with a lot.

Whenever she's looking the other way, or you're a little further away from her, you can probably also screw around more as the situation permits.

But

>>40117534

Summons are part and parcel of the deal, she'll be okay with it.

>>40117569

>>40117556

And we'd have to explain why our summons are all Hell creatures instead of the glowing deer and shit like every other Landmaster that Satt's ever known.

And we told her that we never got any summons, just fire shit, specifically because it's a horrible idea to even mention ours around her.l

>Other (?)
If it looks like Satt is going to blaze a trail up to the top to get at Lucifer, use shadow shit to distract her and make her think that Verwelken is back.

Obviously, it is, because it's us, but she'll think it's a different person and start trying to kill it. Just move some shadows around and get her chasing them.

>>40117552
We brought grenades, yes? Can we get the shadows to whisper to us so we can blow up ambushes without Sattler knowing? Say it's some sort of Landmaster life-sensing skill if she asks?

Is there any external sign we're doing it, is what I'm asking.

“Just shut up already, Axos probably already bugged out of here with all his horns because you wanted to lecture me,” you say.

“I’m voicing legitimate fucking concerns here,” Sattler growls. “If I’m going to have you on my back, I’m trusting you with my god damn life, you understand that?”

“Just let me do what I came here to do, “ you reply, angrily. “What’s your idea for when we go in there? You have a plan, right?”

“Fuck yes,” says Sattler. “If it has horns, kill it. If it has a gun, kill it. If it tries to kill you-“

“Kill it,” you say. “Got that.”

She nods. “You’re not completely stupid,” she says. “They’re Stygians, so don’t trust what you see. Most deceit demons are total shit with illusions, they only cover sight – if it doesn’t make sound or you can’t feel it, it’s not there. You’ll probably feel which ones are real since you’re a landmaster, so use that. We go in hard and fast – I got a guy watching the back, they’re not scrambling out that way.”

Uh oh. He might have spotted Wolf or Ulam. That would be bad. But it’s also something you can’t help right now. You feel the weight of your blood tracker in the pocket of your jeans – you’ve got a surefire way to find Lucifer, but you might risk leading Sattler closer to the VIP. This is going to get hard.

Sattler waves you up to the main doors, and you join her on the frame, SMG at the ready, sword loose in its sheath, good to go for instant stabbing.

“On three,” says Sattler, gripping her machetes and gun tightly in her iron grip. “Three!”

You barge into an empty lobby, populated by dingy chairs, an empty office desk place, and a big hallway leading further into the building. There’s an elevator to your right, as well as a stairwell.

Everything in sight flickers unsteadily, as if unconvinced of its own reality.

>>40118173

Well, fuck it. FIRE EVERYWHERE. BURN IT ALL. We'll just grab Lucy while Sattler is distracted by the BURNING EVERYTHING IN THIS ROOM.

Anyways, I say we clear this room, tape a grenade in the elevator so that the pin pulls out when the doors open, then crawl out the top and go from the top of the elevator into the second floor and take the stairs from there.

>>40118198
Be kind of hard to hide the fact that the tendrils are originating from us, I think.

>>40118230
>>40118216
There seems to be some confusion on how Sierra's powers work.

>>40118250
Shadow Self (the tentacles)/VoOTT/the generic shadow manipulation are 3 completely different powers.

There’s too much going on for you to sort out all in one go. You flatten yourself to the wall of the entry corridor and fire blinding ahead of yourself, hoping to suppress anyone that’s got a clear line of fire on you. Your weapon kicks against your shoulder, and pieces of drywall, chips of wood, and dust explode into the air as you rake a line of bullets blindly across the room.

Sattler, meanwhile, leaps forward, machetes swinging, glyphs burning.

Screams and shrieks fill the space, and illusions fade and flicker away like paper over a flame. Blood and pain surround you.

About ten seconds later, your heart hammers in your head, pulsing like a big drum. Everything is dead before you. Like, everything. There are convulsing demons dead or dying all over the place, and the room is absolutely torn to shreds.

You feel out of breath, like somebody punched you in the gut. It’s not too bad, considering Ranthix has punched you worse in the gut, and you walked it off. Seems like you took a bullet to vest.

Sattler wipes her machetes on the couch as she simultaneously reloads her gun. She glances backwards, the light gleaming off the angled ridge of her skull. “You got shot,” she says, casually.

“Didn’t break the vest,” you say, sucking in more air so you can breathe better.

“Look again,” says Sattler.

>>40118445

You look down, and realize that there’s a dark stain spreading on the left leg of your jeans. Experimentally, you wiggle your foot around, and feel a kind of numb buzzing sensation, which is beginning to grow sharper and more painful the more you think about it. You decide to stop thinking about it. (HP: 30/34)

“You going to die?” she asks, unenthusiastically.

You go ahead and reload while you think of how to answer. You don’t think you’ve ever actually been legitimately shot before. Like, people have shot at you, but they missed. And that one time you got grazed doesn’t count.

>>40118459
>>40118639
Vote swap going on here that wasn't linked. Just thought you ought to know.

>>40118459
Ugh, these rolls. Can we stop embarassing ourselves in front of this hoe?

Also, im really starting to dislike sattler.

“It’s whatever,” you say, stepping over to her. You’ve done more with greater injuries – this doesn’t even compare with walking with a compound fracture. “Natural landmaster toughness immortality stuff, remember?”

“Sure thing,” says Sattler, watching the whole room with a suspicious eye. She’s not leaving anything to chance.

“You have gauze on you?” you ask. “Don’t want to be leaving my blood everywhere.”

Silently, Sattler pulls a small white roll out of her pack and tosses it to you. With mediocre skill, you pull up the leg of your pants, and roll up the wound in white. The bullet went clean through, so it’s not a problem, and you’re good to go. “Let’s keep going,” you say.

As you proceed forward, you get out your blood tracker, and use it to get a good idea of where Lucifer is. Looks like he’s upwards and forwards.

“What’s that thing?” asks Sattler, noticing your gadget.

>Excuses (?)

>>40118459
"Fuck no. I'm slapping some Gauze on it and letting shock and adrenaline keep me from actually thinking about it."

>>40118769
"Its a little thing I made with blood magic. It's supposed to help me locate nearby demons. Idea is it's got a drop of each kinda demon blood, and if it picks up on something it points to it. Damn thing is all buggy, though, and I'm sure as hell not asking Isaac for help until I know it works."

>>40118769
I've been trying to track demons with it, but it's wonky and unreliable.

>>40118769
Picked it up from that goblin. Supposed to track demons and stuff. Supposed to.

>>40118769
>"It's supposed to be how I break the fact I know blood magic to Isaac. Compass that lets you know where the nearest demon is. This is kinda supposed to be a test run, but...shit just isn't working. Found this place, at least."

>>40118849
>Supposed to.
Fucking Goblins, man. Greedy little shits they are.

>>40118769
Description of the vial.
>A couple minutes later, you head out the front door of the building into the sunlight, and pull out the small glass vial from your inside jacket pocket. The glasswork is exceedingly fine, with intricate designs laced over the exterior, inlaid with magic to keep the content fresh. The blood within glints strangely silvery under light of day.

It's my good luck totem. Got it from a goblin.

>>40118849
>>40118832
>>40118828
Let's think about this. Even if we do sell this well, she'll either want us to hook her up with one or it'll raise her suspicions of us. If it goes badly, hooo boy. I don't want to know what kind of spellcraft checks someone with 70+ PP can pass.

>>40118913
That's why we angle it as something we tried to make on a whim, but doesn't work yet.

>>40118913
We COULD hook her up with one that's just flawed enough to not pick up on Hellborn. Like us.

>>40118913
Hence why we don't her we made it and instead we got it from the goblin.

Also, we emphasize it doesn't always work great.

>>40118928
>>40118876
>>40118874
>>40118849
>>40118832

She's got more than a basic understanding of magic. I'm assuming that means she also knows about the concept of sympathetic materials, IE: the something has to be similar to the stuff it's tracking.

>>40118948
And? In Isaac's line of work, it wouldn't be hard to find demon blood. Mucking up the device is kinda expected.

>>40118936
don't tell her we made it*

>>40118913
Tell her we got the blood from a hellborn or something. Heck, we know even know a couple Stygian hellborn that just disappeared from the city.

Maybe the reason it's buggy is that it isn't set up to detect halfbreeds and it confuses the fuck out of it.

I'm just going to say that I have zero confidence in us keeping our cover around Sattler.

Something about goblins or blood magic might be good, but you’re not sure you want to incriminate yourself one way or the other. “It’s supposed to point to the nearest demon,” you say, jiggling the compass as if it’s stuck.

“And sometimes it just points north?” Sattler says, unamused. “Eyes up, quit screwing around.”

Sattler leads you mostly in the direction you want to go, except she avoids a staircase or two that would take you higher up to where you need to be.

On either side of the hallway, there are doors to apartments. Lots of doors. Lots of apartments. They’re probably just single room things, but there’s no telling what’s inside. Well, not no telling, exactly, because you can feel life shuffling around, vaguely.

“We clear each one in turn,” says Sattler, hunching over her SMG and holding her blades low.

Your danger ring starts buzzing uncomfortably against your finger. You wonder if it’s actually doing its job, or if it’s just like one of those mood rings you used to wear all the time.

You hold back at the start of the hall. “Hold up a sec. My spider sense is tingling,” you say.

Sattler stops. “Your what?”

“Don’t kick in any doors just yet,” you say. You adjust your grip on your SMG and close your eyes. “Let me feel them out.”

You can feel Sattler’s impatience, but you feel this is better than kicking in every door. You let yourself soak in the life around you, and specifically, the foreign-feeling life in rooms 113, 115, and 119. You tell Sattler what you felt. “They’re not from this plane,” you tell her. “I’ll watch your back.”

She nods, more serious now than frustrated with you. “Reasonable suspicion,” says Sattler, proceeding to the first room and kicking the door. It busts inward, almost cracked in half. She lunges inside, and after a round of muffled banging, emerges with her machetes stained with black ichor. She scrapes them off on the door frame and moves on, this time pressing her ear to the next apartment door. She steps back, raises her SMG, and pumps a steady stream of lead through the door for a good second, then kicks inside to check her handiwork.

“Not bad,” says Satt, nodding at whatever carnage lies within. “Two out of three. And the third?”

She crosses the hallway, and opens the last door. The angel turns smoothly out of the way as a hail of bullets and belching flame spit out from within, lighting the carpet on fire.

Okay so it doesn't seem like it yet. I was wondering because there has been no posts to like ten minutes which is a bit weird ya know?

>>40119714


Without much care, Sattler grabs one of the putty bricks out of her bag and tosses it inside, then keys a little remote. The ground rocks out from beneath you, and a blast of sonorous air and sound crash by.

Smoke and dust gush out from the broken door frame, and she rushes inside, giving rise to another explosion of bangs, gunfire, shouting, and screams.

A sound creeps into your awareness, much quieter than the battle. It sounds like somebody trying to shuffle a loaded refrigerator down the hall by shimmying it from one edge to the other. The sneaky sound comes from the end of the hall, and seems to be coming in your direction.

FULL STEALTH

We really need to break away from satter and get Lucy out of here soon, preferably while shes distracted

>>40120285
Wolfgang and Co. should be handling it. We just need to buy them enough time and then focus on not dieing.

>>40120285
We need to grab him, point behind her, scream "DEMON!" and then run.

If they think they’re invisible, chances are that they won’t expect you to run up to them and hit them with Zelathis the lightning sword. And while you might be able to drop them with the SMG, you know bullets can go through a lot of walls, and you kind of do remember that there’s probably regular people scattered around this place.

You sling over your gun, draw your sword, and hurry forward, as if hoping to get a peek around the corner or something. You pass by Sattler’s door, briefly glimpsing a bloody battle involving the angel and a harry demon with squat, ugly features, and leathery plates similar to Ranthix’s. Guy’s not going down any time soon, despite the many mortal wounds the angel’s inflicting.

You reach the end of the hall, finding the footsteps now quiet, just a couple yards off. Are they waiting for the opportune moment to ambush you? Or maybe it’s Wolfgang and Ulam, trying to be all stealthy? You dismiss the idea out of hand – you’d smell Wolfgang, at least.

The silent empty spot is suddenly not so silent or empty. “RAAGHH!” roars the demon, striking out of its hiding spot into a tall, wiry creature with spines jutting out of every limb, crooked horns, and no shortage of bladed appendages or mandibles. (Bubba: 28 HP)

>>40120462
Except you were expecting something like this. You turn Zelathis around to parry the oncoming attack, cueing the blade’s power as it strikes the thing’s claws. The rapier bounces back against your arm, erupting with a surging thunderclap. (Zelathis: 8/10 charges)

The concussive blast catches the demon full on, picking it up off the ground and hurling it back against the wall, propelling it through the flimsy wall in a jangle of limps. (Bubba: 21 HP) Hacking and coughing, the mantis-like demon hurls itself upright and starts pouring back through the breach toward you, emerging again and again as exact copies, shrieking and surrounding you.

You stop yourself from retreating immediately. They’re not real. At least you hope they’re not.

I'm on a hot streak this thread, and I was the guy who rolled the Nat100 that got Sattler's jimmies rustled at the beginning. Dice gods are funny. Best you can do is wish good things and smack them buttons.

If we get a chance to do it without Satt seeing it we should at least let Monster out to see what the hell is going on upstairs.

FUCK YEAH! HELLBORN QUEST!

One thing you know about illusions though, they don’t stand up to a thousand degrees Fahrenheit so well. You shake out your fire whip, and spin it overhead, lashing out at the crowding images of Stygians surrounding you. (-2 PP: 25)

The heat of the fiery line cuts a swath through the fakery, at least until it catches a solid figure at your side on the shoulder, exploding with an angry snap, blowing chunks of meat off of your insectoid opponent and momentarily staggering him. (Bubba: 14 HP) The smell of burnt blood floods your nostrils, reigniting your thirst for fresh blood. (-4 Stress: 50)

“Burn and die!” you laugh, bringing up your other hand and squeezing the trigger back as far as it’ll go.

The Stygian shrieks as bullets riddle his body. “AAAAGHH!” he cries, going down in a cloud of misted blood.

You inhale deeply, your hands beginning to shake with excitement and something else, something incredibly fucking awesome. (-3 Stress: 47) (+1 HP: 31) (+2 PP: 27)

You’re good to go find another mantis guy and blow him up too. Your danger ring is still buzzing, but you’re unsure if its for something new, or if it was always buzzing for the thing you’ve yet to encounter.

>>40121022

Sattler jogs up behind you, checking both ways before checking out the fried, perforated corpse before you. “Well done,” she says, jabbing you with a kind of friendly, kind of unfriendly elbow. The contact is solid and unyielding, like getting jabbed in the side with an aluminum baseball bat. (+2 Stress: 49) “Get it?” she says, laughing to herself as she climbs through the hole in the wall that you just put there.

>>40121233
I'm just worried that if she thinks there's a Verwelken that she'll just decide to bring the whole building down to kill it.

>>40121326
Well she didn't bring down the warehouse, and that was much more private venue.

>>40121502
Dude, the warehouse was burnt to the ground.

Well done. Like, as in, you cooked mantis man’s goose. Like. Because of the fire. You snort, and rapidly formulate a reply pun. “Shame, though, cause he got full on lead before we got to the main course,” you say. So bad.

Sattler chuckles at your rejoinder, and forges forward. You follow. Except, you can’t really follow Sattler forever, because you’re not here to kill demons, you’re here to save a demon. After another hallway’s worth of carnage, and after you bust out onto the second floor and get ready to clear it out likewise, you get a perhaps bad idea.

What’s the one thing a demon hunter never usually gets to hunt? Probably something rare, something exceedingly dangerous. Something like a Verwelken. If Sattler thought a Verwelken was mucking about, she’d forget all about you on the chase.

Sattler lops off the head of an unfortunate Stygian, causing him to drop the blocks of cocaine he’d been trying to run out of the building, and you gun down a dude with a shotgun before he can fill your face full of buckshot. Except he wasn’t a demon, but it doesn’t matter, because you don’t have to be a demon to get killed.

The smoke alarms finally manage to go off, and water sprays down on everything from above, making it annoying to keep your fire whip deployed. (-2 PP: 25)

Sattler squats down by the severed head of the Stygian. “Where’s Axos?” she asks.

“He is long gone,” says the demon’s head, scowling.

“You lie,” says Sattler.

>>40121523

“Death awaits. You have no power over me now, wingtreader,” the demon replies.

Sattler growls, stands up, and gives the head a swift kick, sending it down the hall. “Fucking horns,” she shouts.

You figure now’s a good time, what with all the water and motion everywhere to keep Sattler on her toes. You concentrate on the hallway up ahead, and begin rustling the shadows into subtle vibrations. (-2 PP: 23) “Uh. Satt, do shadows usually do stuff like that?” you ask, pointing to the hall in question.

Sattler turns instantly, her face a mask as she sees the unnaturally moving darkness. “Not so long as I’m around they don’t,” she says, spinning around her machetes and sprinting ahead at speed. She careens aroudn the corner and disappears, more gunshots and explosions calling out her position at regular intervals.

Huh. Not bad. You think.

That's what the Verwalken wants you to think

>>40121808
We just say we had no idea what she was doing. I mean, last we saw her she said something and ran around a corner at full speed.

>>40121808
We've got a couple possible excuses, saying our spidey-sense noticed something else that needed to be dealt with, we couldn't keep up after we got jumped by some goons, we were cleaning up all the ones she missed in side rooms or catching some runners.

>>40121837
Thankfully, not seeing a Verwelken shouldn't make her think that there isn't anything there. And hopefully she'll have enough mooks to keep her distracted from what we're doing. She'll probably get paranoid about the Verwelken nearby, which should make her take her time being careful.

>>40121538
>>Do stuff (?)
Call our lawyer boyfriend, see if he has the package.

>>40121808
We tried to get a handle on whatever it was she was chasing and the damn thing was nearly impossible to pin down.

Then it came back up, waved at us like a fuckin cartoon roadrunner, and walked right through the wall.

We could just keep the shadow manipulating up around us whenever Satts around and panic making her stay around us. Cause fuck running around with a verwelken around without everyone else. Not dying today.

>>40121808
"You are an angel, I cant keep up with you" alternatively we could make a very big explosion near her while we kill and actual demon,after getting lucy out and say it was gettin difficult. it would both be a good excuse make it seem like we hadnt snuck off

>>40121939
You're not making a whole lot of sense.

>>40121947
Wha?

>>40121538
Follow her a bit, then go your own way

>>40121931
>Call our lawyer boyfriend, see if he has his package.
ftfy

>>40121939
That's completely retarded. Wasn't a close family member of hers killed by a fucking Verwelken?

>>40121983
Her brother. Issacs dad.

>>40121983
Isaac's dad. I think he was her brother in law or something?

>>40121983
Kinda the point. Freak the fuck out and have Satt around us giving Wolfgang more time to get Luce out.

Why do demons call angels "wingtreaders" even though most of them don't have wings?

>>40122001
They aren't getting him out with us

You're not gonna convince 2 fullblood demons to walk into sattlers path when they think we have it handled.

>>40122020
without

>>40122001
Yeah.. So why would we do that only when she's around us? That obviously points to us being the cause of it.

>>40122020
I'm not saying run to Luce. Wolfy and other guy get him. Sierra keeps Satt distracted.

>>40122001
If we were gonna focus on that, then we shouldn't have tried the verwelken bit in the first place. Sticking to Satt has sailed, gotta get to Luce ourselves.

>>40122001
Runs the risk of outing us as one. You're retarded.

>>40122011
Wing treader is a pejorative that demons use for angels. Similar in use to 'nigger' or 'slope'.

>>40122011
I figure its because Serpahs are the ones who do most of the actual demon slaying. Satt being something of an exception.

>>40122001
Better to just corner step our way to him and bust the fuck outta there asap. This is a race against time.

>>40122034
No, they can't even find him without us.

I want to get off Sattler's wild ride.

>>40122040
Yes, I know. I was wondering why it became a thing at all when most angels don't have wings in the first place.

It's like calling all black dudes "gold toothers" instead of nigger.

I'll stop. Did we ever check the fridge?

>>40122073
If this post means what I think it means, then congrats. You win the "I don't read" medal of the day.

Sattler can really move, and if you want to stay far enough ahead of her that she doesn’t spot you, you have to really move twice as much. You double back toward the stair, finally free of the burden of being seen by the eyes of this world, moving with liquid speed. You get your blood tracker out, and follow its guiding arm up and up until you get to the right floor.

You slide through the barricaded doorway, through the frame, dodge behind the backs of a couple demons working furiously on burning a bunch of papers and books, and catapult yourself through a corner into a portion of the building that looks like it’s undergoing renovations, with tarp covered walls and torn up flooring, darkened in every corner.

Until it’s not dark, but blinding light. Light everywhere. You can’t see, and wind up running face first into something unyielding. Stars explode before your eyes, and you go down. (-1 HP: 30)

You come to a moment later, a vague bulbous figure towering over you. Your eyes are having trouble adjusting to the brilliant light filling the room. “Hi there,” says a light, mellow voice. You roll aside, a sledgehammer punching through the floorboards just behind you. You shove yourself to your feet, but get a kick to the back that sends you into a pile of cardboard boxes. Some of them crumple under your weight, some of them are full of what feels like bricks. (-1 HP: 29)

“I was actually more worried about you than the hunters, if you can believe it,” says whoever or whatever is behind you. You are in trouble.

Ninjas can't catch you if you're on fire.

Inflict Pain, then shoot the fucker. Maybe toss the grenades and roll through the wall and then pop back in to

We can't retreat or else Satt will eventually find him and tell her all about how WE are the verwelken. There's no way here doesn't know. H was standing right in the middle of every light he could get his hands on, waiting for us.

NEEDS MORE HELL HOUNDS

What about using Cardio Paralysis and then emptying our gun into his head?

>>40122086
>>Retreat through the wall.
peace nigga

>>40122211
We need to be touching him

>>40122234
Cardio-paralysis: Seize control of target's circulatory system, temporarily paralyzing all movement. Target may attempt to resist and move anyway, though such action will be difficult, painful, and harmful. Requires full attention if not touching target, little if touching target. Must be inscribed. Target must have blood. Cost: ~4 PP, 1HP, but varies with target restrained, and with resistance. Range: 10m. Inscription Length: Lengthy.

>Range: 10m

Nope.

>>Retreat through the wall.
drop a grenade and dip the fuck outta there

>>40122142
I think we only took some flashbangs and smoke nades, I don't believe that we have any frags.

Though if we have any frag grenades, dropping SoS on one of them before Corner-Stepping out should take care of some problems.

>>40122234
No we don't, it just takes our full attention if we're not touching.

You don't really have frag grenades, but you'll drop in a smoke and a flash bang, roll out, then roll back in, summon hounds, inflict pain, and follow up with the MP5.

Explosions are anticipated if things go poorly.

Roll dice.

Touching him just makes it easier, we can do it from range.

Shit.

>>40122251
SoSing a frag grenade seems suicidal. The shrapnel would chew through near any obstacle in its path and kill whoever's behind it.

Including us.

>>40122266
Oh no you don't! Your rolls have saving us all night! You're not going anywhere!

>>40122278

Pun intended?
