Brownout Part I: Into the night

"That's what that guy buried? Feathers! Obviously this guy was wacked. He probably was wanted for trespassing or something. He just buried these damn feathers because he wasn't right in the head. I can't believe we went to this trouble for feathers. Jeez!"

Jeremy stomps back to the HumVee in disgust. He takes off his night vision goggles and tosses them onto the hood of the vehicle and then lights up another cigarette.

"'Cause he's a loon! We should get the hell outta here and on to Dallas. If you're convinced the feathers are something special then bring 'em along."

Jeremy throws his cig down and grinds it out. He climbs into the vehicle and starts it up.
 

Ben

"Well, it seemed like a good plan at the time." Ben dusts himself off in disgust and gets back in the Humvee, making sure he knows exactly where the feathers are.
 

Father Flannigan will pick up the feathers one at a time and examine them. "Hmm...very curious. I wonder what they could be..."

Know: Arcane - Roll 13 + 10 = 23
Know: History - Roll 18 + 4 = 22
Know: Theology & Phil - Roll 9 + 11 = 20
Spot - Roll 13 +5 = 18
 

Adrian studies the feathers that the father seems so interested in.

Know: Arcane - Roll 15 + 17 = 32
Know: Theology & Phil - Roll 6 + 10 = 16
 

Seeing the others studying the feathers intently Jacque decides to think about whether he's come across references to something like this in his past.

Knowledge (Arcane Lore) 24 = 14 rolled +10

If he doesn't determine anything he shrugs and goes back to take his seat in the Humvee.
 

Father Flannigan: (With major bonuses from the faith :))

Something you recall from one of the texts kept secret within the vatican. It's one of those "eyes only" things that your order is privy to.

From the Book of Azrael (circa 1423):

In those days the Nameless One did walk the halls of Heaven, and he did beseech he-who-is-called I Am to give to his firstborns a third of his domain, that it might be ruled by the Nameless One. I Am, blessed be his name, was angered such that he cast the Nameless One into the Abyss, where he would reside for a day and a night.

And in an act of rebellion, the Nameless One did rip out his plumage, throwing it to the winds. And so did St. Frederick gather them up and hide them so that they may not be gazed upon by the flock.


If you remember correctly, St. Frederick's abbey was in Prague.

Adrian:

Possibly the rumored feathers of the Nameless One. You've read about them somewhere before. If you remember correctly, one of these incredibly rare feathers is a primary component in some sort of spell of summoning.

You can't remember anything else, but they're probably worth a LOT of money in certain circles.

Jaque: They look like a couple'a feathers :)

OOC: What route will you be taking to the Dallas Brounout. Off-road is reasonably flat, but travel will be slower; while the road would be faster, but will have numerous checkpoints.
 

Jacque sits in the Humvee, strumming his fingers on his knee.

"Hey, you two, we had best be going," he calls to Adrian and Flannigan, then leans back into his seat, "I say we go off-road, no need to try to bust through blockades and such. We have a big jeep after all, it will get us where we want to go, yes?"

Jacque checks the bullet wound he received to his arm a short while ago.

Almost forgot about you.

"Anyone have any bandages or something? I thinks this needs to be looked at," he tells noone in particular.

"Offroad sounds good to me. Even reserve guardists can shoot tires on a vehicle and we've got no way to explain driving a military Humvee."
