Sir Jack ap Liam stagggers in, wounded and hurt. In his mortal mein.

One imagines someone tells Jessica?

Ellie comes running! "Jessica, Jessica, something bad..."

Jessica is on her feet and moving instantly. "Ellie? Are you ok? What's wrong?"

"I don't know, something bad. Hurry!" She grabs the troll's hand and pulls her towards the Liam - possibly just as others are discovering him.

Coy is helping a wounded Jack along

"He's been shot"

Jessica can hurry; her longer legs, in fact, allow her to outpace the little Sidhe. No worries, if needed Jess can scoop her up and carry her.

"Shot? Jack, have you been working with Duff?"

"Let's get a healer here, or get him to the springs...."

"Nope... just saved a girl from getting ..raped" Jack passes out from blood loss as Coy carries him to the springs and Fontaine is already waiting, pants on

"Oh jeeze....."

"Thank you, Fontaine. Let's get him in....." she will help Coy get him into the water.

"I have him" Fontaine says as Coy lowers him into the water

And Ellie feels woozy.. and not from blood

She holds on to Jessica's leg to keep steady.

Jessica shifts so Ellie can support herself; her attention is mostly on Jack.

She hides her face.

When Jack is submerged (not too much!) Jess glances at Ellie.

"Where is she?"

Jack's eyes open as the healing waters surge around him "The woman? Four streets south..." He names the one "Near a warehouse"

"We have to go."

"Jessica..." Tug.

"We do?"

"Ok, ok, Ellie. Coy, Fontaine, stay with Jack. I'll bring back up."

Jack huffs "Feeling better, give me an hour or two and I'll join you"

"We have to find her." Quietly insistent.

"Jack, you obey Coy on this one." And she's moving, bringing Ellie with her and getting her maul and a few of the others as back up.

Ellie insists on bringing Fireheart.

Ellie grabs Fireheart. Jessica gets her maul, and Demos and Sir Buce come to Jessica's call!

"Sir Buce, good." She asks Demos to send three or four more, and increase the patrols throughout the day.

ANd they are heading out.

Ellie threatens to run ahead in her eagerness. Luckily, she has short legs.

And out they go! Ellie feels drawn, compelled almost by a vision of a womann exploding in light but the light begats darkness...

Jessica allows Ellie to lead them.

"This way..."

That way....

And they move and.. holy crap! This could be bad!

Chimerical images of rapists the ones Jack stopped, have come about in nightmares- This being the dreaming, the monsrosity of their attempt has been turned into flaws of form- Tentacles isntead of hands, mouths like a lamprey....

Ellie's sword alights with purple flame, and she slashes at the monsters!

Ellie's blade cuts off a tentacle!

Buce says "FIENDS FALL!"

"Take them down!" Jessica steps in with her maul and attacks!

It can be easy to forget that Ellie is a trained fighter - THIS little hellcat is an ancient sidhe soul, even if she is in a tiny body.

Indeed, Ellie finishes her foe with a shot to the gut, even as a maul swung by Jessica splatters another!

She focuses on the fight, but does try to keep an eye out for the girl that, she assumes, spawned these things.

And Demos bites a chunk out of another

One does turn on Ellie, drawn by her innocence and claws slash into the little girl's shoulder trying to dig in

A little yelp, but she fights back!

And with a flip of Fireheart Ellie drives it into the belly of the monster clawing her from behind! It screams and staggers back
