Vince runs his tail through his hands....

A sheepish lion!

Rollo says "We're going to shave you when this is over. Just saying"

A sound of frustration. "Out! Back to the hunt!"

And Augsust gets a call from Magnus!

August steps outside to take it, although the thumping of the music is probably still audible.

Vince sidles over and is talking to the bouncer. Green exchanges hands as he apologizes. A wince, and more green.

"Yes?"

"Hey dad? It's at a church.." he names the one, who is there, and so on "Better move fast. Courtesy of the Witch of The Book and River"

"A church!??!" He repeats the information to Tylar, just in case.

"Tell her thank you, from the bottom of my heart."

"My Lady! I have the information!" He calls to Coradel.

Vince looks up after nigh emptying his wallet. Well, not completely empty, he still has his FBI members card.

Tylar nods and blushes furiously

Coradel is stalking over to her steed, but she pauses at August's call. "Where?"

August jogs over as the mounts are readied and gives the information to Coradel.

And NOW they've got the right path.

Vince stands near the doorway, looking hangdog and lost - unsure if he is to be left behind. Then again, "Any place where thy heart doth worship is a church..." He says, in defense of the establishment.

Oswald helps him onto his Tauntaun because Rollo is already driving off

He wisely does NOT comment on the smell.

August gets a MIGHTY kiss of thanks before she mounts Samson again. "We have our target! Follow me!"

Oswald says "You realize, Shalimar is going to love this" And they ride

August swings up as well and is underway.

"I live for his amusement." Vince says, dolefully.

"Oh, then you're really going to thrive after this" Oswald says

Not since the last time a viking too a catherdel has a church been sacked with such ferocity...

Samson turns and BOOTS the front door open reveal the Shadow courtiers.. who draw their weapons

August pulls up outside, leaps down, and dashes up the stairs behind Samson.

Coradel leaps down from the saddle and flicks her hand to aim her bow at the Shadowed ones. "I am Coradel, Baroness of these lands. Lay your weapons down, and I must take mercy on you...so by all means, hang on to them." A smile.

An intense young baron lunges in to stand beside her, sword drawn and shield at the ready.

Vince circles around to check for any back door that one might try to escape from.

"We'll take those initiates of yours. And you will clear completely out of my lands, and not return. That's me being generous, in case you were wondering. I'm quite happy to destroy you here, if you prefer."

"the initiates? " the woman sahys "How interesting... all of them? One IS mostly dead you know"

August glances, perhaps surprised, at Coradel but says nothing as he turns back to the evil-doers.

"Only mostly? Worthy of display, at any rate. An object lesson for others who might be tempted." Her aim with the arrow is centered on the the sidhe.

August remains ready to defend Coradel as the rest of the hunters fan out around the building outside and in.

"From what I understand, none of yours were actually truly hurt.. oh a scratch and a scare..." The sidhe says

Jeannettte's eyes flare

"Oh, well, when you put it that way...." Coradel lowers her bow.

...only to raise it again immediately and fire at the sidhe.

She takes a step in and fires again at the sluagh.

August stays with her, sword and shield ready to defend her between shots.

Something catches Vince's attention, and he leans in and Shout/ROARS at the top of his lungs, eyes on the Sluagh!

The Sidhe woman curses and turns as the first arrow cuts in her.. the sluagh was... only now, it it revealed, preparing a bunk, but Vince's ROAR defeans him

Tensed and ready to pounce - yet not getting in the way of the Baroness's shots.

allowing time needed for Coradel's arrow to strike at the sluagh

"TAKE THEM!" August orders those from EarthRunes.

And he charges forward himself.

Seeing them start to Fade, Vince launches himself for the nearest baddie, shield out and weight atop it to try to bowl them over!

August swings and misses as hif foe fades before him...
