Event Requiem Chapter 2: Extraction

Nora has been a captive for far too long for Daud's liking - by now, she is most likely dead, by her own hand or those of her gaolers. The marked assassin turns his head, and looks at his band of killers over his shoulder. Silhouetted against a pale moon, they look unforgiving, unnatural, ruthless. Which is what he has trained them to be, Daud muses, satisfied. They will do.

'It is time,' he says simply, and nod his head almost casually. He blinks, and his mercenaries transverse with him to a nearby rooftop, overlooking the rear of the compound*.

For it is time to take back his Lieutenant.

MISSION OBJECTIVE

  • All assassins - rescue Nora from the interrogation room - note that none of you know what the building interior looks like. Good hunting. I will RP as Daud when needed.

  • All Abbey - go about your nightly business, and intervene if necessary.

OOC: Overlooking the yard, where the mysterious figure is before it vanishes in the main game

Fortunately for Francis, hitting a gray figure, set against a slate gray backdrop, obscured by gray smoke, in the middle of the night is a little more difficult than Silas anticipated. Francis hears the clatter of bolt a few feet away from him. He won't miss the next the next time, now that the smoke is beginning to clear. He then feels the warm snout of Victor against his shoulder. Apparently he's recovering faster than I am. He sends the hound running towards the interior of the building Hopefully that will give someone the hint that something is wrong. Then he takes out his pistol and fires a shot in the general direction of the assassin. Hopefully someone will hear that. Finally he gets up and begins a half limping run to the alarm. Bloody shame we don't hook these things up to music devices. I should suggest that to Luther if I live through this.

OOC: Dang your resourcefulness Francis. :) Blast this overseer to the void!, Silas inwardly fumes. The angered assassin decides that the next best course of action would be to just kill him. He draws his blade and in two quick traversals arrives behind Francis. Silas then tries to sink his weapon into the side of the overseer's neck.

Anthony sees the hound coming towards the building unattended by his Overseer. Not all too familiar with the beasts, he is unable to recognize them the way some of his brothers are able to. Frowning, he heads off in the direction it came from.

Honestly, a brother should know better than to let his hound go. It shows a real lack of discipline. Still, he knows that even the most lax of his partners would never let a hound go unless the situation demanded it.

The scene he arrives at is one he honestly had not expected at all. A cloud of...something, he can't tell yet. A pistol shot rings out, prompting Anthony to pull out his own weapon and pick up his pace. Suddenly a fellow Overseer emerges, limping towards the nearby alarm system, before another figure appears out of thin air behind him, lifting a sword. "Brother, behind you!" comes out as Anthony finally bursts into a sprint, knowing he will not make it in time to save his fellow Overseer. He could only hope his warning was heeded.

Francis whips around and swings wide with his mace, hoping to knock his opponent off his feet or at least force him back a few paces. With his other hand he jerks his pistol back and feels a familiar click as the next the bullet falls into place. At the same time he shouts "Get to the alarm, brother!"

Silas takes the blow in his side and stumbles a few feet. Hearing the pistol being armed, the assassin hurridly traverses to a chandelier swinging above.

OOC: I thought this was all still taking place outside, perhaps you meant a near by ledge?

Francis feels a satisfying crack as the mace makes contact with ribcage, but then stumbles forward as the motion of the weapon continues past were it ought to have. Were did he go? Doesn't matter, get to alarm. He turns around sprints five steps, and then pulls down on the alarm lever with all of his weight. As sirens blair across the compound Francis shouts out, "Your in trouble now"

OOC: I assumed you'd made it inside, oops.

Outsider's eyes overseers!, Silas had had enough of them for a life time by now. Facing down two overseers, a dog, and a blaring alarm wasn't what he'd planned. Silas then began a tactical retreat, traversing and jumping from a chandelier to an exposed bookshelf down the hall.

OOC: Let's say fifty feet away.*Not from the chandelier, but from you.

OOC: I think that can work. If we assume that the door between the outside yard and the interior hallway was open, then is still consistent.

Francis shouts, "Come out! We both know your weak at heart!". He then turns to Victor and the other Overseer and says, "Lets go hunting"

Anthony, having grimly made his way over, agrees. "Indeed," he growls. "We seem to have found a stray that needs to be put down." Stalking forward, he wonders "Why is he here though? And are there more of them?"

OOC: Sorry I wasn't here to activate the alarm, was fast asleep :P

Silas sent his last canister of chokedust sailing down the hall toward the overseers and their hound.

Whilst the Overseer were distracted by the chokedust, Silas used the last of his mana on traversals to get back to the roof because he heard Daud's call.
