[jigglypuff69]

At the explosion of wood and blood, Gerrard, slipping his hand into his jacket simply says, "Well... being right all the time IS a burden."

still going to be slow. I posted that in the character section. I will let you all know when i'm back up to normal speed with posting. skip me if necessary

Calliopea sees the werewolf threat and begins to close the distance between herself and the door. Speed should come in handy here... she thinks as she moves forward, but not as quickly as she could.

She begins chanting and concentrating on what the outside area of the doors looks like. She must be very precise on this in order to spare Jonathon a lot of hurt.

Display

Spell time! Path of thorns- on the ground outside the doors to get the werewolf mostly.

Tom didn't survive long enough to make Ghoul by dashing head-first into combat. He looks around for something sharp - barring that, the arm of the pew will serve just fine. With that in his off-hand and the cufflinks between his fingers, he waits for whatever makes it far enough to get knocked around.

Witching's all well and good, Tommy, but the Master didn't take you for your cunning.

OOC

Holding for now, seeing where an attack would do the most good.

Callie in the heat of the moment rises from the pew and runs towards the back of the church where the unbound Johnathan now hangs suspended two feet off the ground. She realizes quickly however that she was not created by her sire for combat. As she tries to use her disciplines having forgotten that she had not seeded the ground with her blood...

Display

The level two ritual, "Path of Thorns" requires that the ground be seeded with the users blood before another creature crosses the area to be effected. As this is your first combat online. If you wish to ammend your actions. I will allow you to change your action this time.

Otis stares in amazement as the ghoul of Sampson stands in response to the attack. Not because the man doesn't seem to cower like most mortals in the face of the unknown, but because his first reaction is to kick violently at the end of the pew. Sending several large chunks of wood to the floor with a resounding *CRACK*. Tommy bends down and pulls a club sized section of wood from the wreckage and advances towards the now struggling Mr. Weatherby.

Action: Strength(3)+Brawl(3)-Hardness of pew(3)= 3 die pool. Two successes. Tommy now armed with makeshift club and 20' from the doors.

Gerard, his hand shuffling in his waist coat...

[jigglypuff69]

The lanky, dark man reaches into his jacket nd pulls for an engraved pistol. Finely made and well balanced. "I knew this would come in handy..." He takes a few steps forward and levels the gun at teh door, where the arms and ghoul are. "For the love of all that's unholy, man! Will you get out of the way...." Gerrard waits, holding his action to fire until his shot is clear...

Calliopea pulls the small pistol from her bag. She moves closer to the door to improve her accuracy- as she is a decent shot but only from about 30 ft. I must learn to shoot at greater distances... she thinks as she does not really wish to be any closer to the werewolf than she needs to be.

Callie draws out a small hold out derringer from her drawstring purse. She nows that the weapon only has two shots and are of a small caliber.So takes time to make her shots count. Beginning to aim at the arms keeping Weatherby pinned to the chuches heavy doors. Johnathan watches while he struggles to free himself. "Shoot witch!", he suddenly screams out.

Tommy is on the move the pews leg in his hand. He blocks Gerard for the briefest of seconds. While trying to find an opportunity to strike out at the beast.

Gerard now stands ready. A beautifully ornate .44 five shot revolver in his hand. He pulls the hammer back with a stiff *click*. "Will you get out of the way...", he hollars at Sampson's man. He almost savors the chaos of battle and is waiting to pull the trigger. Just to see where the shot will take the madness.

Andrea stands from his positon, angry that these beasts have violated a house of God. "A church is sanctuary!" he yells at the beasts, and moves towards the broken pew, to pick a piece of wood for himself, sorry as he is for using a pew as a weapon. "I wish I had brought my rifle," he says to himself in English.

Action

Stand up and if possible, move to the pew and pick up a large peice of wood.

[Vardaen]

"The Lord Protect us and keep us safe from this attack! Grant your loyal kindred the tools with which to fight these beasts." Otis takes up a crucifix off the alter and slices open his forearm. Blood begins to flow from the wound, rolling out under the force of gravity, his still heart not pumping. As the blood flows from his wound he raises the cross into the air and recites some ancient Aramaic speach, a prayer from the time of Longuist. As he prays the flowing blood congeals mid stream and never reaches the floor it begins to form into long scourge, a two lash whip. Taking up the scourge in his blood covered hand Otis steps from behind the pulpet, "Beasts of the Devil! You have chosen the wrong sactuary to attack!" He cracks the whip made of pure blood and steps forward moving toward the fight at the front of *HIS* church.

Some bad news folks. With the current time constraints that I have been suffering lately I have decided to cull my load for now here at Brennor's. Playing character's in others games and creating quality posts while doing so. Has unfortunately caused my own games to suffer terribly. Therefore until further notice I will be moth balling the "Black Files" and "Vampire a Love Betrayed" until further notice. When I have more time to post correctly to these games I will notify all the players involved and they will have the option to rejoin if they wish. I thank you for your understanding.
