B.P.R.D. Issue #2 "the Hunger"

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Andy goes along with everyone else, silent after the visions he had from the ritual. They didnt unsettle him, his heart hardened to such mystical rituals, but instead he was curious as to what was going on exactly. He smiled at the slight conflict between the frog-man and everyone else, it was at least entertaining to the "teen".

"Actual investigation isn't my specialty, so I'll just stick around here and see what happens, eh?" Andy says, stretching his limbs a little.

I wonder how Paul is doing... he thinks.

 

[Velmont]

Having made a lot of research in his life, Paul is used to find what is interesting quickly enough... and it seems he may have found something that is worth.

He goes in his room and purify the place for the rituals. Than he slowly review the ritual he has found and go over it calmly and slowly. He try to empty his head as much as he can, trying to ignore Leo's complains and the other three comments that he hear in his head.

OOC:
Ritual is made slowly, taking twice the time to lower the DC by 2
Know (Hist): 16 + 6 = 22
Know (Occult): 14 + 7 = 21
Rituals: 19 + 13 = 31

And a note. I'll be able to post twice a week, is that fine with you?

"s'okay that I call ya sssarg, right?...."

"Yeah, Rudy, Sarg will work, Ace or Michael as well," Michael replied. "Go ahead and take point, but no more than hundred or so feet ahead of us, radio contact's bound to get spotty in these tunnels. Don't engage the enemy if you can help it, come back and report."

Rudolf takes POINT

"Yeah, Rudy, Sarg will work, Ace or Michael as well," Michael replied. "Go ahead and take point, but no more than hundred or so feet ahead of us, radio contact's bound to get spotty in these tunnels. Don't engage the enemy if you can help it, come back and report."

"right sarg..."
Rudolf says as he finished hop-stepping to unload his bulky trenchcoat off his husky frame...
The damp coat flops to the ground not concerned for adding more wrinkles to the mess and any dirt it could pick up would greatly be outdone by the old brown mustard stain on the lapel from those DELLICIOUS soft pretzels he'd had for lunch Friday morning...

"Little Mouth" continues peeling off his faux-leather gloves and brown suede shoes looking up he glanced back giving Lia a smile, twisted his poker hat around on his lumpy head and then gave a jump onto the sidewall of the inner subway tunnel and starts to "take point" as Michael asked him to do...
at first he scampered to the center and top of the round NYC subway tunnel then stopped as if thinking to himself...
Looking down from the upside down position his fat red tie swung down like a ticking pendulum.......
"geeeezzzze Sarrrrg, I don't know where you come from but I ain't about to engage anyone - yer thinkin a Britney Spearthhhh or J-Lo...."

turning down the dark tunnel he says in a low tone, to avoid any sort of echo...
"uhhhhhh, you don't think they're be any sthorta ENEMY down there to engage.... do ya Sarg?!?!??..."



[RULES & ACTIONS:
Rudolf leaps up to the ceiling and slowly starts down the tunnel...
as far as he can go with Full Defensive. (Def 13 +4 = 17 Full Defensive)
Ready at anytime to scream for bloody mercy or stop dead still to hide and blend.
He'll scan the area (darkvision) and listen as best he can as he goes... here are my numbers, I'm not sure what you'll want and do you want US to roll? - if so go ahead and roll FOR me this time to speed it up.

Spot 0 (Darkvision)
Listen 0
Move Silently 2
Hide 6 + Blending 3 = 9
Clinging 1 + Climb 5 = 6
Leaping 3 (15')]

Paul has set up some search engines to look around some History and Occult ideas that he had while he set up the Ritual.

The ritual provides him a bit of a strange "reading"… there seems to be four different locations within New York; three of them are moving, while the fourth is stationary. Very strange…

Checking his searches, he double checks and looks over some books to look into a theory that he gets… Spoiler for Paul only please…

Spoiler

Kongming said something about Prime Numbers before he left, and looking at them in order of when the victim numbers you get something like this…

1- Canoe
2- Rattlesnake
3- Owl
5
7- Turtle
11- Owl
13
17 - Night

Running it through some programs, it suggests one thing… what if just the first letter is used could "CROATOAN" which was the name carved onto the side of a tree at the site of the lost Roanoke lost colony in 1586.

BUT the letter and symbols would never have lined up; who ever is doing this might just be playing a sick joke!

Up to you how you want to present this BUT cellphone reception is not very good right now. Also if you want to head to NYC you can, it will take about an hour and a half to two hours. YES posting twice a week is cool with me… more then some

Rudolf starts down the tunnel, the way Andy said has the "feeling" where one of the victims should be… but Kongming kind of gets the feeling that this was not want he saw in this vision. That was somewhere else…

You can make a half-move (15ft), moving along the ceiling of the tunnel. Lucky for you all, most of the subways have shut down. There are a few still running but they are pretty rare and you have plenty of time to get out of the way of them as they barrel down the tunnels. How are out going down the tunnel (marching like order)? Everyone going? If Andy does not go, it is going to be hard to follow the trail. Also Kongming can make another Precog roll if he wants to try and get another idea of which way to go…

[OOC: I believe that Andy (the Sarge) wanted me/Rudolf to move down the tunnel no more than 100' AHEAD of the group. I/Rudolf chose to do so on the ceiling from a different vantage point, to perhaps witness anyone/thing down the tube that shouldn't be there..... I/Rudolf is completely trying to do this without being heard/seen to then report back.]

"Stop whining, I've got your back"
It's meant to be reasuring and Lia even manages to make it sound just a bit like that as she leaps behind Rudolph.
Once in the tunnel she crouches down and thick myst gathers around her, soon obscuring her completly. Only seconds later a huge grey wolf emerges and runs after her newest team member, eyes shimmering yellow in the darkness.

Looking back and down through his legs down the tunnel toward where Lia is coming from Rudolf is taken aback a bit by the change and then settles into the idea, remembering what HE himself is...
and then he thinks humerously to himself -
hehh, ... bitch...

With Rudolf and Lia out somewhat in front, the group starts making its way down the subway tunnel. It is very cool down here, ice forming on some of the pipes that Rudolf crawls by.

After about 30 minutes, Andy calls up to Rudolf and says that one of the 'leads' seems to be moving this way, that everyone should take cover. Within a few minutes a subway car can be heard coming this way… it buzzes by very quickly. As it pass it by, Andy is sure that one of the signals is on that Subway car!

Rudolf spot roll 16 +0, Lia spot roll 9 +5 =14
But nothing out of the ordinary could be seen on the car while it flew by. Lia might be able to keep up with it before it gets away, but none of the other characters could hope to keep up with it…
