Log:20100411 - Shattered - Part Four

Setting

Graceland Cemetery: Eastside Graves - Clarke Street: North

Death does indeed walk amongst us here in this part of the cemetery. The statues true name is "Eternal Silence", though the local moniker of "The Statue of Death" seems far more appropriate. Voluminous robes billow about the bronze work, the weather having stripped it of its black coloring, turning it to a pale greenish hue from the biting elements, yet those elements have yet to touch the dark confines of the hood of this figure, the black interior swallowing all light still. The figure's arm raises to its mouth, wherever it may be within that darkness, or is it actually beckoning? Calling you forth into that silence that has no end.

Pushing back further towards the east the lawns are cut into rows, separated by hedges, these winding back to several larger mausoleums in the distance. These appear to be ancient structures, worn and weathered, and also appear to be rarely visited.

IC Date

Sunday, April eleventh 2010. 12:09 am <midnight>

The sun is down. The last quarter moon isn't up. <43.3% full and fading>

The tide is low and rising.

The sky is grey-black, moonless and starless. It's hard for human eyes to see anything in the deep shadows round about, without a light. It's cool and a light breeze blows from the north. The average temperature is around Forty-nine degrees Fahrenheit, Nine Centigrade.

Scene

Normally this part of the graveyard isn't visited much. But tonight, or this morning as it's after midnight, there is a "Spirit Searchers" episode being filmed. It's a 'public access channel' show where a bunch of University of Chicago students go to allegedly haunted places with night vision cameras, homemade EMF detectors, and thermometers to hunt down possible spirits for the entertainment of the local home audience. They make it an open call for locals to come watch on the sidelines then party in the haunted place with them after.

A half dozen of the infamous Spirit Searchers are standing by the Statue of Death, wearing their Black T-shirts with their tombstone logo on the back. The show's primary host, Ralph, and his girlfriend Talula, are heavily pierced and wearing thick black eyeliner to add to the goth of their leather pants. They're doing camera and mic checks while their sidekicks, the much more mundane appearing cameraman Otto and EMF girl Janet, stand nearby running the tests. Freshmen additions, the brother and sister team of Penny and Peter are standing by the path, indicating to spectators that it's as far as they should go so they stay out of the camera shots.

A few yards behind the crowd is where a crew of a dozen or so frat brothers are setting up for the after party. There are kegs and piles of plastic cups set on top of folding tables beside big bowls of chips, dips, and pretzels. Signs for Graceland Cemetery Funeral Services are pinned to the ratty tablecloths. One of the managers of the cemetery is standing nearby with two security guards he's hired to oversee. He wasn't about to pass up the free advertising, even if it means a bit of cleanup come morning.
Bert has driven a few of the students out to the place and is now out of her cab and standing near the party table after being invited to stay for the drinks and eats afterward.

CEMS was sure to get one of their rigs out early, with Rodney getting the short end of the stick. The man's partner was waiting in the truck with the more fragile gear while he was wandering the back of the crowd that was gathering, his gear back slung across his shoulder.

Talen wasn't planning on coming to this filming thing but the girl was so nice who told him to come. He is wearing a black hoodie and jeans. His hands are in his pockets and its clear he is listening to his iPod. He leans against one of the large graves and watches carefully.

What a lovely night to explore, and what better way to see the local gravesite than a party. Seems no one respects the dead any longer. Lenore has a blanket over her arm and wonders close to lay it down, front row seating.

"Isn't this exciting!?" A perky blonde notes to Talen where she bounces in place to keep warm. "I mean we get to see a TV show being filmed! A real TV show!" Not that Spirit Searchers is a real TV show by any stretch of the imagination mind you. Groupies. Ugh.

A frat boy at the beer table is already making eyes at Bert as he stacks plastic cups. He isn't wearing a toga, so that might be a true blessing of the slightly chilly temperatures.

Rodney and his partner get their fair share of college kids asking if they can turn on the sirens during the party for giggles. More than likely they're hanging about the ambulance with the hopes there might be something drug-like to steal inside.

A couple young guys grin and try to phenangle their way smoothly onto Lenore's blanket.

Bert pulls her cap off to tuck into a pocket then shakes her head to free the long pony tails that sprout from the top of her head. With one hand in her pocket she drifts toward the frat boy that is making eyes at her. "any chance for a beer now?"

Rodney and co decided early on that one of them would remain in the truck, for that exact reason. The front of the rig is locked, and his new partner sits at the back, the grumpy old medic shooing off any college kid that gets near. Rodney keeps moving, every so often checking his radio, seeing if his partner has noticed anything odd yet, each time receiving an exasperated "No!" normally followed by an "and when you get back here YOU can deal with these Haroldson!"

Talen turns his eyes to the girl and blinks. "Yeah…I guess…." He mumbles. His hands reach into his pockets and the music in his ears gets conspicuously louder. He crosses one leg over the other and keeps his eyes on the other people.

Jeremy has come for his own reasons. There's a few graves in the cemetery that he doesn't want screwed with. Though at least one of them is empty. Its reason for being there is for friends to have a place to mourn. He watches the college crew with a mix of interest and annoyance. It depends on what they're doing.

Frat Boy looks at Bert sheepishly, reaches for a cup, then remembers the security guards nearby. He chews his lower lip and shakes his head. "The liquor permission thing isn't til 1:30 AM, Hotstuff, or I'd get you one right this second," he assures the cabbie.

Bouncy blonde girl pouts when Talen turns up his music and she sniffs imperiously. And futilely as he can't hear it with the music so loud.

Penny and Peter begin calling for quiet from the crowd, using the 'shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh' method of silencing that seems prevalent when dealing with toddlers and college students.

Noticing Jeremy the medic shifts his course slightly. He waves to his friend, and gestures to him as if asking what the heck he was doing in this crowd as the hosts try to silence everyone.

Looking up as the frat boys near Lenore lies down slowly and stretches out, green eyes lighting up a bit when she notices the gathering and the cute blond boy being harassed by a groupie. "Talen! Hey!" She frowns and picks up a pebble to toss at the boy in order to get his attention.

Bert grins good naturedly at the frat boy, "not a problem," and she looks around again then toward the people trying to get the crowd to shut up. she whispers to him. "Been to many of these things?"

Jeremy smiles a little as he sees Rodney. The young man heads over to the medic and tilts his head. He keeps his voice low as he speaks, "Mostly checking to see that these idiots don't mess up the cemetery. I have a few friends laid to rest here. And I'd be pissed if one of them was messed with while they're playing their games." He rubs the bandage that covers his lower right arm absently. "What about you. Most everyone here is a little past your skills…or perhaps yer waiting fer one of the college brats ta break their skulls on a tombstone?"

Rodney nods solemnly as Jeremy mentions about protecting the graveyard, followed by a chuckle at the ending. "The second tonight." He thumbs the bag that lies over his shoulder, full of all the goodies that medics keep with them to work. "College kids, alcohol and a graveyard… someone is getting hurt tonight… we already know this."

Talen quickly turns off his mp3 player and removes his buds. He doesn't notice the pebble and pulls up the hood of the hoodie over his head. He turns a little to the girl and grins. "Shy…" He mumbles and returns to looking at the scene. He wraps up his player and puts it in his pocket. His hands go to rest in his hoodie pockets.

"All right, let's get this show rolling!" Ralph declares as he makes a roundup motion with his hand. Otto turns the camera on him in a tight focus on his face and he grins at it. "Hello out there Chicago, and spooky greetings from the Spirit Searchers! I'm your host, Ralph Darkheart here with my best girl Talula Blacksoul at the Graceland Cemetery! Tonight we're going to explore the graveyard's less visited area and see if there are any restless spirits that we can pick up on our special cameras." You know, the kind that show ghostly images manifesting on them after a lot of computer editing later.

Otto pans to Talula who looks about as thrilled to be here as one might be for a visit to the dentist for a root canal. She eyerolls and Otto quickly shifts back to Ralph. He frowns at his girlfriend but then puts on his charming face once more. "Janet! What are our local EMF readings?" he asks with an uneasy look on his face.

Janet gets focused on and she too is glaring daggers at Ralph. "The readings indicate that a show host is in line for an ass kicking because he knocked up the freshman behind his girlfriend's back," she announces with a smirk at the camera. "Cut! Cut!" Ralph calls quickly to Otto, making the neck slicing motion at the man. Otto sighs and clicks the camera off. Penny turns scarlet over by the roadway and Peter gapes at her in disbelief.

Frat Boy holds a finger up in a shush to Bert as he turns his attention with the rest to the show hosts.

GAME> Rodney rolls 90 against 25% <+15%> : 50% failure (Notice Check)

Jeremy chuckles softly. "There's a bunch of idiots excited over nothing. If these kids actually saw what could be in a cemetery…well I'm sure you'd be changing underwear on the babies and not changing bandages."

Talen doesn't move much from where he is. His hands are in his pocket and he glances around. He sees only two faces he recognizes. He gives Lenore a small smile and a larger one to Jeremy who probably won’t notice.

Rodney nods his head in agreement. "It's amazing, even with what's out there for real, people like these still get engrossed in the charlatans and shams." He shrugs his shoulder, adjusting the bag on it again. "Ahhh well, at least it's only one night. Hopefully these two will graduate soon and this part will be over."

Bert nods at the frat boy when he shushes her and begins to wander again. She stays away from the beer so as to not get him into trouble. She winds up at the other end of the table and looking a one of the bouncers.

Looking annoyed Lenore picks up a rock and tosses it at Talen just as he turns to face her. Covering her mouth and giggling when it hits him, she offers a shy little wave and waves the boy over. "Sorry! You ok?" She's chuckling as she looks back at the 'Host' the announcement making her jaw drop as well, guy is so screwed.

As Penny and Peter have a heated argument in low tones by the path, Ralph has a quiet, intense, conversation with the two girls who seem cowed by it. He signals Otto again and he resumes filming Janet who speaks with a false smile and in clipped tones. "EMF indicates that there's some light activity in the graveyard tonight, Ralph. Higher than normal readings which seem to be coming from," she holds up the device towards the east side graves, "Over there." She squints and Otto pans the camera that way and flips on the night vision mode. He makes a weird sound at the back of his throat. "Hey Ralph, what's that?" he asks.

That's definitely not on the night's script, and Ralph looks like he's going to call for another cut as he turns on his heel to see where the cameraman and EMF girl are looking. Talula snaps her gum and leans back against the statue looking bored out of her multiple skull pendants.

At the very edges of visibility and hearing, something is happening at one of the older graves. Darker against the surrounding night, clods of dirt and chunks of splintered wood are flying out of a hole in front of the headstone. The sounds of wood being ripped apart drifts faintly on the night air.

Jeremy rubs his head with a annoyed look on his face. "I think all their equipment is only there to make noise. At least you get to do something useful here. Though hopefully you won't really be needed."

Talen grins to Lenore but his eyes go to where the sound is and unfortunately the kid is curious as always, more curious then smart. He makes his way towards the headstone. "Hello?" His voice low and unthreatening.

"I hope not, but seriously?" He gestures his hand towards the stage, not really looking at it. "The drama that they keep around them, all it does is incite the college kids to either have a drunken orgy or riot."

Picking up a scent that doesn’t really belong Lenore is on her feet and heading to a tree closest to the commotion. Her emerald eyes stay pinned in that direction as she cans the near by tombs for activity as well, not wanting to get surrounded. Looking back and placing a hand on Talen’s chest as he gets close. "No way… don’t think this is part of the show Kitty cat."

Bert has heard something then it was added to by the cameraman's comment and she takes a few steps in that direction, looking to see into the darkness there… she sniffs a bit then mutters softly. "crap, it's them again." but she continues in that direction, sniffing again to make sure.

The security guards step into Lenore and Talen's path to turn them back as the cemetery outside of the party zone is off-limits to the spectators.

As Ralph and Janet shine flashlights towards the disturbance, from out of the dug up grave climb a handful of critters, seven in all. They're covered in dirt but the burnt orange of their scaly skin and the shiny white of their sharp teeth gleam in the light directed by the Spirit Searchers. One has a bunch of bones in his clawed hands, most likely belonging to the body in the grave. He has dark spots like Freckles all over his hide. He grunts something at his companions, and the other half dozen beasties turn and begin charging at the hosts and crew at high speed. One has webbing from elbows to armpits, another has sharp spines sticking out of his back, a third has tufts of yellow hair sticking out of his ears. The veer towards the t-shirted Spirit Searchers. The other three, one which can't seem to stop giggling maniacally, another with a kink in his tail, and the last with gobs of snot leaking from his nose, turn and head towards the tables where the party is set up.

"Otto are you getting this!?!?" Ralph shrieks, seeing ratings gold even as the gremlin-like critters are closing the distance. "Otto?" he asks. He turns in dismay to find Otto high tailing it towards the party area screaming "SAVE THE BEER!!!" Man has priorities, you have to give him that. Talula and Janet stumble back against the statue. Penny, Peter and the rest of the crowd of spectators scatter and run screaming for the exit of the cemetery. The cemetery director is right behind them, flanked by his brave security guards. When he yells at them to get back there and get those things, they both flip him the bird and keep running. Monsters were not in the contract.

GAME> Jeremy rolls 100 against 30% <+30% +25% -10%> : 25% critical failure (Jeremy attacks Giggles - Unarmed)

Jeremy startled by the sudden screaming, the young man instinctively turns toward the danger and growls. That's all the warning that Rodney might get before Jeremy is starting to move. "Stay back" Now Jeremy is damn fast for a shifter. He's got moves. He charges at the one giggling maniacally and at first tries to hit the critter with his casted right arm. He slips on the dirt and whips his arm again to try and go for a hit again. Unfortunately the cast is not made for such use. It flies off his arm and flies into the face of a fleeing college kid. Jeremy ends up on the ground probably thinking he should have stayed home.

GAME> Bert rolls 76 against 30% <+40% +20% -10%> : 4% success (Bert grabs Kinky - Unarmed)

GAME> Success: 37, Muscle: 40, Multiplier: 1, Max.Damage: 8 (Bert damages Kinky)

Someone somewhere is yelling save the beer and just at that second Kinky runs by Bert heading for the table. She reaches out, bending slightly and grabs at his tail. "ha…" she got it and swings him around, looking for something to slam him into. Just as she was ready to hit him into a nearby headstone, her grip slipped and Kinky hits the edge of the beer table then slides to the ground hurt but still moving.

GAME> Talen rolls 69 against 30% <+31% +11% -10%> : 7% failure (Talen attacks Snot - Unarmed)

Talen sees the things running and his first instinct is to kick. He nicks one and goes for a second kick. He misses the second time. He is now going to make sure he kicks the snot…outta Snot…

Looking at Talen, Lenore growls and throw both hands out to its respective side, the dark barely able to hide her hands changing as she pops claws and tears into the snot filled critter in front of her. One hand going just under the things ribs and getting stuck, she throws it down in front of her and hisses as she notices the thing still moves.

GAME> Rodney rolls 49 against 50% <+15%> : 16% success (Rodney finds a weapon)

Rodney watches as all hell breaks loose about him, blue eyes catching each movement while he backs away. One hand goes to the radio on his shoulder, and he presses the button, bringing it to life. "CEMS # 333 requesting police back up at Graceland Cemetery, civilians and my crew are in danger, unknown preters attacking the crowd." His back his the ambulance, and he fumbles with the gear door, pulling out one of the smaller backboards used for pediatrics. "You know, if I worked for the FD I would have an AXE on board."

GAME> Eleanor rolls 48 against 50% <+30% -55%> : 23% failure (Giggles attacks Jeremy - Thrown)

GAME> Eleanor rolls 70 against 50% <+30% -57%> : 47% failure (Snot attacks Lenore - Bite)

As his seeming minions rush to fight, Freckles takes off deeper into the cemetery in the darkness with his armload of bones. Looks like he doesn't have all of them, though, as Tufts has a femur in his clawed hands. He charges at Ralph and swings at his kneecap with his makeshift club. Goth boy Ralph goes down screaming and clutching at his knee. The gremlin whacks him upside the head with the bone and knocks him out cold.

"Serves you right you basta-aaaaaiyeeee!" Talula's berating of her boyfriend is cut short as Webs scampers up the back of the "Eternal Silence" monument and jumps off Death's head onto hers, clawing at her face with his sharp talons. She runs around screaming and trying to dislodge the creature. With half his body over her eyes, however, she only manages to run smack into Death's visage and knocks herself out. That's what you get for the earlier schadenfreude, girly.

Spines dashes past Janet and snaps jaws at her ankles en route to heading for the party area with the others. She screams and runs as fast as her feet can carry her down the path after the cemetery manager. Otto makes it to the nearest keg on one of the tables, but seeing Ralph and Talula attacked, he hunches down behind the table and begins praying for the safety of his beer.

Giggles and Kinky race side by side to the food and beverage table, with the former ducking expertly under Jeremy's swings. The latter gets grabbed by the tail and flung into the table. He rolls with a grunt of impact before leaping up on top of it beside Giggles where the two begin flinging bowls. Pretzels and Ruffles fly everywhere as Giggles turns the ceramic containers into projectile weapons aimed at Jeremy and Rodney. His aim is about as bad as his laugh and he doesn't even come close to hitting them. French Onion and Ranch dip splatter over the keg guardian frat boys and Otto as Kinky flings those bowls at Bert and Lenore, both going wide.

Snot lets out a roar. Well, it's more of a loud, high pitched squeal really. It turns shrieky when he's kicked first by Talen, then clawed to all hell and back by Lenore. With a not-so-mighty leap, he lunges and snaps his jaws at her calf but misses.

GAME> Jeremy rolls 71 against 30% <+30% +25% -25%> : 11% failure (Jeremy tries to widearm tackle both Giggles and Kinky)
GAME> Jeremy rolls 62 against 50% <+30% +15%> : 33% success (Jeremy recovers well from the missed tackle)

Jeremy snarls as he hears all the screaming and yelling and breaking of things. He hears the familiar laughter of the one that made a fool of him and heads in that direction. Seeing the pair on top of the table, he bumrushes the little bastiches. However the sour cream ruins his trajectory. He slips at his launch and just manages to put enough jump to get some height. Giving a startled 'ACK!' he manages to vault over the table and land upright on two feet and a hand.

GAME> Bert rolls 2 against 30% <+40% +20% -10%> : 78% success (Bert grabs Kinky - Unarmed)
GAME> Bert rolls 96 against 30% <+40% +20% -10%> : 16% failure (Bert swings Kinky - Unarmed)

Bert makes another grab for Kinky, her hands finding his legs and grasping them as she attempts another swing shot with his head against a tombstone. She curses with frustration when the little bastage manages to wiggle out of her grasp and lands back on the table and totally unarmed from her last attack.

GAME> Talen rolls 94 against 34% <+31% +11%> : 18% failure (Talen attacks Snot - Unarmed)
GAME> Talen rolls 87 against 34% <+31% -10%> : 32% failure (Talen attacks Snot - Unarmed)

Talen growls and goes for two kicks. He misses once and misses again. He stomps his foot onto the ground and eyes Lenore. "Get him…I am going to see if I can help Jeremy…" He mumbles. He takes off running towards Jeremy.

GAME> Lenore rolls 67 against 34% <+37% +30%> : 34% success (Lenore attacks Snot - Claws)
GAME> Lenore's melee attack does _2_ damage. (Lenore damages Snot)
GAME> Success: 34, Muscle: 35, Multiplier: 2, Max.Damage: 14 (Lenore damages Snot)

GAME> Lenore's melee attack does _8_ damage. (Lenore damages Snot)
GAME> Success: 2, Muscle: 35, Multiplier: 2, Max.Damage: 8 (Lenore damages Snot)

The thrill of battle and blood scenting the air has Lenore's eyes slowly bleed into that of her beast. Claws dig in deep as she drops to her knees and tears at the giggling beasts hide until there is no more giggling and under all that black ichor oozing from the wounds there's not much hide either. Oh but the girl does look like she's having fun as she smiles over the beast.

GAME> Rodney rolls 36 against 30% <+10% +2%> : 6% success (Rodney attacks Tufts - Melee)
GAME> Rodney's melee attack does _2_ damage. (Rodney damages Tufts)
GAME> Success: 6, Muscle: 10, Multiplier: 2, Max.Damage: 4 (Rodney damages Tufts)

Rodney watches the crowd carefully, noticing the chaos about the stage. Seeing two people collapse there he shakes his head, and adjusting the shoulder bag he begins fighting against the crowd that's fleeing. When he gets there he looks between the two gremlins that are hovering near their victims and takes a strong swing of the board, dinging the one that carries the bone in the back of the head. "Take that.. now go away!"

GAME> Eleanor rolls 63 against 50% <+30% -70%> : 43% failure (Giggles attacks Bert - Claws)

With the crew's members either unconscious or fleeing, Tufts turns towards the party area where Otto ran, waving his stolen bone overhead like a diminutive barbarian. He gallops towards the tables but stops when he gets smacked by Rodney. He hisses menacingly at him before he WHACKS him in the shin with the femur. That's gonna leave a mark.

In unison, Giggles and Kinky duck under the flying form of Jeremy and watch him sail harmlessly over their heads. Giggles cackles like a mad, er, thing, and leaps off the table to slash claws across Bert's abdomen, missing completely, before landing on the grass beyond her. Webs and Spines follow Tufts into the fray, charging on all fours and snapping jaws at Talen and Jeremy's legs respectively. Web's teeth sink into Talen's calf but Jeremy remains unmarred.

Kinky goes for a little trip after Bert grabs his leg, but he wiggles out of her grasp and drops back to the table. Hissing at her, he trots over to a beer keg and uses both feet to push it off the table and onto Otto's head. The camera man goes down like a pile of bricks and one can almost see the little birdies flying around his head. He's out like a light. The valve on the keg bursts and begins spraying the entire area with cheap beer.

With growling sounds reminiscent of an angry dog, and a splattering of mucus everywhere, Snot slashes his talons at Lenore's thigh. He's bleeding everywhere though, and he can't seem to hit the clawed woman whatsoever.

GAME> Jeremy rolls 25 against 30% <+30% +25%> : 60% success (Jeremy grabs Webs)

GAME> Success: 72, Muscle: 30, Multiplier: 1, Max.Damage: 10 (Jeremy damages Webs)

Jeremy jumps about to avoid the attacks of Tufts, web and spines as they go for his feet. His time in the circus has apparently paid off as he deftly avoids their attacks. But then one of them latches onto Talen. Snarling fiercely, Jeremy dives at Talen's attacker, digging his nails in. There's a god awful squealing that comes from Web as he's ripped from Talen's leg.

GAME> Bert rolls 92 against 30% <+40% +20% -10%> : 12% failure (Bert grabs Kinky - Unarmed)

Bert does the grabbing the feet/ankles of Kinky again, this time she's able to hang on and finally swings him hard into a headstone. He looks more hurt and she is cheered up.

GAME> Talen rolls 94 against 31% <+31% +11% -10%> : 31% failure (Talen attacks Webs - Unarmed)
GAME> Talen rolls 93 against 31% <+31% +11% -20%> : 40% failure (Talen attacks Webs - Unarmed)

Talen screams out as the stupid thing grabs his leg. He doesn't get a chance to attack as Jeremy is already on him. He does go to punch Web and misses twice. Luckily he also misses Jeremy. "Sorry…" He mumbles to Jere even when he missed.

GAME> Success: 53, Muscle: 35, Multiplier: 2, Max.Damage: 18 (Lenore damages Snot)

Pressing both claws deep between the beasts ribs Lenore lifts Snot up over her head and splits it in half and is bathed in the black ichor. Tossing both halves aside she runs to help Talen and Jeremy a wild playful look in her eye.

GAME> Rodney rolls 58 against 30% <+10% +2% -10%> : 26% failure (Rodney attacks Tufts - Melee)

Hopping back as his shin gets cracked with the femur, Rodney swears loudly. Stamping forward he takes another swing at the boned gremlin, once again cracking him with the backboard. "Take that… and…" His second swing however isn't as successful, smacking the board against the table beside them. "Ow…."

GAME> Eleanor rolls 60 against 50% <+25% -60%> : 45% failure (Giggles attacks Bert - Claws)

It seems like Tufts fancies himself some sort of club wielding D&D fighter class. He makes a squeal-y sound of challenge and holds the femur in a one-handed grip as he tries to batter Rodney's kneecap into submission with the makeshift weapon. Whiff! He swings himself around in a dizzying circle but doesn't connect with the EMT.

Webs gets jerked bodily off Talen's leg and makes a confused "urk?!" He begins clawing frantically at Jeremy's arms, unable to get out of his grasp. He doesn't connect. Spines dashes in and out at Jeremy, gnashing teeth wildly as he tries to sink them into flesh. He lands a bite on his thigh.

Kinky dances in his beer shower for a moment, opening his maw to gulp some of the skanky stuff down before he is snatched up by his leg and used as an instrument of bludgeoning by Bert. He makes a squealing sound as he is smacked into the headstone and claws at her arms. Giggles laughs and laughs and laughs. The sound is as annoying as the claws he slashes at Bert's thighs. Maybe his laugh means "Don't use my friend as a club!" in gremlin. Either way it doesn't help his aim. He misses.

Snot drools, well, snot onto the grass before he sneezes violently. A glob of mucus flies to hit the downed Otto in the forehead before the gremlin looks up to see both of Lenore's claws coming down at him. Then he's in gooey black ichory pieces on the ground. Dead.

GAME> Success: 13, Muscle: 30, Multiplier: 1, Max.Damage: 4 (Jeremy damages Webs)

Jeremy grins wickedly as he still has at least one gremlin in his grip. He debates squishing the little monster but his thoughts are interrupted by the bite to his thigh. He yells in pain and uses the only thing available to hit spines with. The other gremlin! He slams Spines with webs and some of the spines are ripped off of the one via the other's webbing. There's a nice satisfying chorus of squeals that result from the collision.

Bert curses in Spanish as she begins to use Kinky as a baseball bat against the headstone, whapping him hard and connecting at least two more times. Poor little Kinky is groaning with his hands on his head with the headache that has really got him down to being very hurt.

GAME> Talen rolls 91 against 31% <+31% +11% -10%> : 28% failure (Talen attacks Spines - Unarmed)

Talen kicks at the thing on the ground that bit Jeremy. Go figure. He misses both times. He shakes his head. "You're on your own, man… I can't hit the broad side of a barn door if it was right in front of my face…" He sighs. He takes a few steps back. "Hey Spiney things! I dare you to try and eat me. I bet you couldn't even scratch me… Stinky bastards." He is trying to lure them all on him.

Who has not seen the way Sabertooth runs? Awe, too bad because that is almost exactly how Lenore runs over to Jeremy and Talen. Her last stride used to pounce Spines and tear at him, the creature hurt and screaming but still wiggling after her flurry of slashes stops. "Hmmm I miss this…" Her voice a husky mix of the girl and her cat.

Dodging the swing of the bone, Rodney laughs at the ugly little thing. "You think you can do that to a Medic? Listen… learning how to heal… you learn how to hurt!" He changes the angle of the board, leading with the narrow edge. His swing of course misses, and the medic takes another wild one at him. "Why you little… go down! I have people to help!" His voice is starting to sound frustrated though, perhaps a little hint of being out of breath.

Tufts changes up his technique as he shifts to put both hands on the bone and chokes up on the femur bat. He draws it back up behind him in a baseball stance and does the old 'swing battah battah swing!' at Rodney's ankles. It would be awesome if his aim didn't suck.

Webs is used as a club. He looks kind of dizzy after being used to pummel Spines, but he still leans over and CHOMPS on Jeremy's stump. OMNOMNOM! He begins gnawing on the end of it bloodily. Spines gets CLOCKED in the head with Webs. He makes a frantic sound before he turns around so his back is to Lenore, gathers his legs under him, and leaps bodily in reverse at her, trying to impale her on his spiky growths. He sails past her, lands on his back, and gets his spines stuck in the ground.

Giggles sticks his tongue out and raspberries Bert before he lunges in to try and climb her like a tree in defense of Kinky. He can't get a foothold and slides back off her harmlessly. With beer dripping off him in rivulets and his head kind of dented by the tombstone, Kinky is not looking so good. He feebly tries to turn Bert into his own personal pincushion as he attempts to drive his claws into her wrists. He actually sinks them in.

GAME> Jeremy sustains 20 points of damage <major injuries -15%> (Jeremy damages himself smashing Webs)

Jeremy has his satisfaction of smashing the gremlins together shattered by the sudden mastication of his stump of a right forearm. He screams in fury and pain and begins slamming Webs into the nearest tombstone. He manages to crack the monolith and the gremlin's skull at the same time. His fury causes him to slam it at least two more times. Its teeth end up clicking together from the force of Jeremy's hits. The gremlin is dead but ends up removing more of Jeremy’s arm.

Bert is getting tired of whapping Kinky on the headstone for again she's bapped him against it and he's still moving, not much, but he's still moving.

GAME> Success: 95, Muscle: 28, Multiplier: 1, Max.Damage: 12 (Talen damages Spines)

Talen sees Jeremy kill the one and he glances down to Spines. "I am sorry…" He says to the little creature. He stomps hard with his injured leg. "That hurt!" He growls and stomps again with his other one. Spines squishes and Talen pouts a little and looks at his feet. "I'm sorry…"

Smiling warmly Lenore turns away from Jeremy and Talen making a beeline for Rodney and Tufts. Slamming into the wannabe baseball goblin Lenore smashes him against the statue and tears at the creature with her claws until it is dead and gone and still she tears and rips and tosses flesh all about her.

GAME> Rodney rolls 46 against 40% <+10% +18%> : 22% success (Rodney determines best treatment for Jeremy)

Blue eyes light up as Lenore appears before him, shredding the gremlin he was preparing to finish off in his mind. "Yeah… take that…" He said the words rather weakly as he looks around watching as Jeremy seems to get injured worse. With a frown he shifts tactics, moving towards his friend rapidly, one hand unzipping his bad as he nears him. "You idiot, D's gonna kill me if I let you get hurt… hold still." Studying the arm he quickly grabs at his supplies, and begins securing the spurting stump with a tourniquet.

GAME> Bert sustains 4 points of damage <passing injuries> (Kinky damaged Bert)
GAME> Eleanor rolls 74 against 50% <+28% -60%> : 56% failure (Kinky damaged Bert)

Tufts seems to be taking this combat to a very personal level. He yowls in fury and the frustration of being unable to connect with Rodney, but that gets cut off when Lenore turns him into so many colorful ribbons with her claws. He dies very, very messily indeed.

Webs' meal of Jeremy's arm is cut short when he is repeatedly smashed into a tombstone. His only revenge is the fact his already dead self managed to take a good bit of Jeremy's stump with him into the long dark. Spines reaches up with his arms to try and ward off Talen's stomping feet but it's to no avail. He gets splatted into black goo on the ground where he was unable to jerk his back spines out of the dirt.

Giggles tries once more to climb up Bert to her shoulders but he only manages to bang his head harmlessly into her behind a few times as he bounces behind her. Kinky, near death, still manages to make a single magnificent swipe at Bert and catches her across the face with his talons.

Jeremy hisses and tries shoving his forearm under his left armpit to get the bleeding to stop. Silvered eyes look up in momentary confusion as Rodney comes to start bandaging. He does go as far as to growl at Rodney before grumbling. "If yer bleeding ya need ta NOT be workin on me. I don't wanna get in trouble." He shivers a little, looking at all the pretty blood and the nasty blackness that comes from the gremlins. His nose wrinkles at the not so pleasant smell.

GAME> Bert rolls 95 against 30% <+40% -25%> : 50% failure (Bert attacks Kinky - Melee)

Something is at Bert’s back and she spins around with Kinky to bat it away, misses makes another swing and misses yet again. The woman is frustrated and thinks she should stick to driving a cab.

GAME> Talen rolls 61 against 31% <+31% +10%> : 11% success (Talen attacks Giggles - Unarmed)

Talen takes a few long strides towards Giggles and hits that one a little bit. His eyes are watering. The vision of the one guy on the ground getting to him. He barely hits the thing. "Run…" He mumbles to it.

Looking at Talen smacking the monster as if in a pillow fight, Lenore growls and uses the boys weak distraction to her advantage and jumps the thing. Taking a few good swings she draws it's attention to herself and chuckles. "No, he runs others get hurt… I'll take care of this." She sounds annoyed but not really upset. Lets see him keep giggling now…

The medic's blue eyes flash to Jeremy's silver ones for a moment and he speaks up, returning his attention to the wound. "I knew the risks when I took the job… and if something happens… well…" Rodney shakes his head, tightening the tourniquet another twist, watching the blood flow begin to stanch. "Come on.. where the blazes is that regeneration you guys are supposed to have?" He reaches an ungloved and bloody hand back into the bag, grabbing a few bandages to apply pressure to the end of the stump as well.

Kinky is close to being an ex-gremlin at this point. But with Bert holding him, he has a pretty good vantage point for raking his claws up and down her arms. The little bugger seems bound and determined to take her with him to the grave.

Giggles is distracted from trying to climb her by Talen kicking the crap out of him, then Lenore shredding him a whole lot. He looks down at the gashes in his torso then shrieks and tries to bite the clawed woman to no avail.

Jeremy laughs shakily. "It doesn't work very well with me. I can heal others like nobody's business. But me…I'd nearly die of things that wouldn't bother others. He looks a little woozy as he watches Rodney work. "Dyson is gonna be pissed at me…."

Bert swings another mighty swing and this one hits, with ace's. Kinkys brains are now a black splotch over the headstone and Bert swings one more time and lets go to send the lifeless body flying over a tree nearby.

Talen has too many tears in his eyes as he starts hitting the last one standing. He hits until the thing is smushed. He bites his lip and sinks to his knees uncaring of his injured leg. He covers his face with one hand while trying to pull the hoodie more over his face with the other.

Otto groans and he wipes Snots' snot off his forehead as he sits up slowly, rubbing his aching head. "Did I get hit by a truck?" he asks groggily. Then he blinks, because all the rest of his frat brothers are long gone. Yeah, that's a concussion. He'll probably be thinking the gremlins were a hallucination by tomorrow.

All falls silent after the last of the creatures is killed. And moments later, the corpses melt into black ichor. Stinky, sticky black ichor. Gross.

Bert looks around trying to find at least one beer that wasn't done away with and pulls out a small keg from under the table and puts it on top of it. "Anyone for a beer?" she calls out as she draws herself one in a cup that had fallen over.

Shaking his head at Jeremy, Rodney glances back to the others that had been up and fighting. "Keep pressure on that… I need to check on the others." Bert and Lenore both seem to be moving well, despite splatters on them, but he notices Talen's form as he falls to his knees. He rushes over to him, reaching into his bag for a pair of gloves, despite the blood from his friend that already coated them. "Where did they get you… let me check it…" His voice is short of breath, but in command again. This is a situation the medic is familiar with

GAME> Lenore rolls 2 against 30% <+38% +20%> : 86% success (Lenore steals the videotape from Otto's camera)

Running to Otto Lenore drops to her knees and fawns over the poor camera man. "Oh you poor baby, your head hit that table really hard… Does it hurt?" She kisses the guys forehead and attempts to help him up her claws retracted as she does so and 'trips' over the camera. "You need to get to the hospital, come on." She gets him to the side and then takes off, no need to be in the way as the cops pop up.

Jeremy stuffs the arm under his armpit and sighs softly to himself. Yep, he's going to be in trouble.

Talen shakes his head. He drops his hands. "I need more help getting the image out of my head." He turns to his butt and pulls up his pant leg revealing a nice little bite mark. He glances up and sees Jere. He bites his lip and sniffles a few times. "I am not even hurt that bad but his little hands…" He makes a little face, obviously holding back the tears.

Rodney nods to the young man, and squeezes his shoulder briefly. "Go to the back of the ambulance… once I check on the people at the statue we'll get you back to the hospital, they can make sure it's not infected or anything." He smiles at the kid and nods his head as he rises again. "You did good…" With that, he goes to move towards the statue, to check on the 'stars' of the show.
