B.P.R.D. Issue #1 "City of Night"

[Drakknyte32]

Christopher follows the others out to see what is happening. When he sees that everyone is getting ready to leave he grabs the books that the others seemed so interested in and dumps them in the Landrover.

"Just in case we don't get a chance to come back for them later. I'm sure the B.P.R.D. will be interested in them."

When they reach the Red Knight Christopher orders him to get in.

"I really need to get back in shape. That wolf ran circles around me."

Lia

Lia will wait wait to watch the machine for a moment before she gets any closer. She waits at least till the landrover arrives while she tries to understand what the thing is doing.

Andy stuffs his backpack with all the magical tomes along with Christopher before hopping onto a seat in the landrover.

"Out of the frying pan and into the fire!" He cries as they race after Lia.

(OOC-I'm assuming during that hour Andy learned the ritual to bring the wall down? If so, what DCs does it require?)
Edit-Fixed the html tags

[occ]Andy has the basics for the ritual to bring down the "wall" as it were, but not a complete understanding of it... he would guess it would take ten, DC 35 checks, 24 hour ritual for each roll... something you could do over years and have a chance. But it could be he is missing some parts and it could be easier if he studied it longer. Also he found some notes about 'opening the last gate into the city' that was probably five or six, DC 25 rituals, each taking 10 minutes to cast[/occ]

The Silver wolf waits for the land vehicle to move up...

Michael sees her and stops the landrover maybe 50 or 60 feet behind the wolf. Everyone in the landrover notices that the huge gates and 100 foot tall wall in front of them (the gloom almost seems to part as you get closer when suddenly the wall is 'there'!)

Everyone in the vehicle can make a Spot roll...

IF the silver wolf starts moving closer see needs to make a Move Silent and Hide roll...

Lia

She waits and tries to spot if the way after the machine is clear or if the strange barrier blocks the way.

iooc: rolls just in case, not going forward yet:
move slilently: 13+5=18
hide: 8+5=13
spot: 16+5=21

 

[Karl Green]

There is just the flat desert sand between the Silver wolf and the strange walking machine... The wolf slowly starts advancing on it... the smell of rot and death is strong on the machine. The machine does not notice her, and continues to pace back and forth in front of the gate, speaking in its strange tongue words that almost hurt to listen to... but she senses something else, it almost feels like another hunter is present and watching her, waiting to strike.

The others can hear a strange booming voice coming from a loudspeaker mounted onto one of the shoulders of the walking machine mech; on the other shoulder is mounted a old medium machine gun and belt clip. Strange runes and symbols can be seen on the side of the machine, painted or etched in its metal.

[occ - Andy can make a Comprehend check to see if he understand what is coming out of the loudspeakers…otherwise it is totally incomprehensible]

This whole area is thick with a sense of evil and magical...power undreamed of and best left asleep, now slowing awakening

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Andy remains silent, waiting for what the rest of the group deems appropriate to do int his situation.

(OOC-Comprehend check roll of 17+6=23, Spot check roll of 6+1=7)

 

[Karl Green]

Andy can understand the hateful, hurtful words coming over the loudspeaker, they are some kind of chant, or ritual... The language is very alien an old, it is saying...
{transplated from some old dead, alien tongue} "The seal is broken, the veil is down, open thee gate, open now.
Awaken she that should always slumber, awake and rise and greet your lost son...
Necropolis, house of the dead, arise, arise, arise…those that slumber, thee that sleep, arise and bow to thee lost son…
Heaven above, Abyss below, all will bow, and she will rule…despair ye fools your day is done…
"The seal is broken, the veil is down, open thee gate, open now.
Awaken she that should always slumber, awake and rise and greet your lost son...
Necropolis, house of the dead, arise, arise, arise…those that slumber, thee that sleep, arise and bow to thee lost son…
Heaven above, Abyss below, all will bow, and she will rule…despair ye fools your day is done…"

"They're trying to open the gates to the city of brass to free their queen..." Andy wonders dumbly, his jaw dropped, I have a bad feeling about this...

"Not trying to be hasty or anything, but you guys gotta stop that thing about...oh, right about now!"

"You're kidding, right? That's the start of some apocalypse, if the book i've read tell the truth."

If you've been less Chicken, you wouldn't be too late.

Paul whispers some words and turn to stone (activate his Force Field.)

"What we do? Fast!" he asks nervously
