[hr]
Garret glances back for a brief moment to be sure his Troll
companion hasn't fallen to the werewolf, then to the heart once
more, frowning deeply as it seems to be just barely hanging on.
"Gah! Just die already! Stupid tainted goopy webby sticky piece
of-" and rather than actually finish the sentence, he brings his
ivory sword up and then makes an attempt to just slice right
through any of the remaining 'arteries' so he can sever it from
the world it's trying to infect.

He's clearly not a seasoned warrior, but he was indeed telling
the truth; he does know how to put the pointy end where it
belongs.

Fianna Kinfolk | Troll
[hr]
Garett lunges forward, slashing at the arteries of the Heart --
burning shadows into light as he closes the distance. He manages
to do just enough damage to the critical parts of the Heart’s
structure to cause it to tremble and erupt in black oil
everywhere: Which he’d have been coated in were it not for his
bardic spell.
[quote]Whiskey’s 7 dice to attack, spending 3 Rage for bonus
actions.
8, 6, 7, 3, 5, 3, 6 = 4 sux
Aubrey parries again: 8 9 2 7 10 4 3 = 5 six
Aubrey’s remaining actions: 3
Whiskey’s remaining actions: 3
Aubrey full-on attacks, WP auto: 1 9 8 10 7 3 2 = 3 sux +1 WP =
4
Whiskey’s defense: 5 10 2 8 = 3 sux, 1 left over.
Aubrey hits for damage: STR 4 (Hulk Smash) + 1 Troll + 6
Greatsword + 1 MoS: 10 6 1 5 3 4 10 7 6 10 10 3 = 8 sux.
Soak of 6 dice: 4 7 5 4 5 5 = 1. 7 health levels of damage, JUST
enough to kill him.[/quote]
That tension releases, and in an explosion of movement the troll
and the werewolf burst into a blur of lightning, blue, and
black. It’s over almost before it starts, their speed is both so
beyond comprehension that the human eye cannot follow it. By the
time it’s done, Aubrey has run Whiskey through with
RIghteousness and pinned the werewolf to the floor, stabbing a
solid three feet of the blade into the softening earth through
the oil.
With the heart destroyed, the shadows panic and start to flee.
It becomes obvious at this point that the thick blackness isn’t
a blanket, but a hive. In a moment, the temperature snaps back
to normal and that sense of gut-wrenching paranoia lifts.
The troll is panting. Even the body of the werewolf is missing.
“What…”
She looks up to Garret.
“...The fuck?”

[sub]Fae Blood 3 || Changeling's Eyes, Spiritually
Noticeable[/sub]
[hr]
Wrenching his sword back out as oil sprays everywhere,
thankfully dissolving before it can really cover him, Garret
stumbles back a few steps and then immediately turns towards the
others. Of course... all he really sees is a flash of lightning
and rage, movement he couldn't possibly keep up with. Even to
follow it he'd need to cast a spell that takes longer than the
fight.
Thankfully, by the end of it, Aubrey's the one that's standing,
and Garret lets out a sigh of relief, sword lowering to his
side. The timing is perfect, as things slowly fade back to
normal around them with the shadow-hive's disappearance.
"We won," is his answer to the troll, a grin on his face. "Told
you it would be simple. The evil pulsing heart is gone. Granted,
we now have unanswered questions of who the wizard was that must
have been responsible for it and what it was truly heralding,
but for now, we won," he summarizes with a content nod.
He could really use some Tass right about now, though.
"Should we go check on your ephemeral friends?"

Fianna Kinfolk | Troll
[hr]
The troll considers Garret’s questions, and then his proposed
plan of action.
“Yes.”
That’s all that needs to be said to the proposal. Shadows
purged? Check. Totem rescued? Check. Threats to the kinfolk all
eliminated? Check. Unknowns quantified? Check.
Sure, some repairs will be needed in terms of the church’s
structural wooditude, but that’s for the kinfolk to sort out.

Chimera | Big
[hr]
As Aubrey and Garret leave the church, Nine-Tails is in fox
form, curled up in the lap of a young man who’s sitting down on
the porch of the building that Garret had seen Rhox and
NineTails retreating to earlier.
It’s the voice that gives him away. Distinct, exactly the same
person taking on a different form.
“Looks like you fucked their shit up,” he says, leaning off to
the side and inspecting the now-rotten, but no-longer-bleeding
church for a moment.
“Any idea what it was?”

Spirit
[hr]
“They came for me,” Nine-Tails purrs, tickling Rhox’s underchin
with her tails. “This is the second time I’ve seen them. I fear
for the others, this time.”
“The others?” Aubrey quirks a brow. This is obviously the first
time she’s heard of there being others.
“Return to the Cafe. I give you my blessing, Garret:
Alone-in-Honor will guard you as you investigate this further. I
do expect her returned in one piece.”
Aubrey points at herself for a moment, then to Garret. Then to
Nine Tails. “But I need to--”
“--you need to do as you’re told,” she chides the Troll. “Garret
will be needed again. Keep him alive.”
Aubrey slumps a little, at that. She didn’t want to keep Garret
alive.
Nothing personal, of course. Her place was here, in Hoogsport.
Not in some weirdo dreaming cafe with a bunch of strangers in
it. Guarding a wizard was practically desk-duty in her eyes.

[hr]
Garret, capable of putting 2 and 2 together when needed, does
make the connections quickly enough about the alternative forms
of the chimera and the totem spirit, so he gives them a wave as
he and Aubrey arrive there.
"We did indeed do that to their shit!" he confirms to Rhox,
"Though she," motioning to Aubrey, "did the hard work of dealing
with the werewolf-creature. I just set a barely-moving target on
fire," he explains with an amused look.
"As for what it was, some corrupt mess of spirit and chimera. A
hive of gross shadows. Like someone used the most corrupt parts
of the entropic leg of the spiritual triad to melt away the
boundaries between them. There's likely more to it, but that was
what I gathered at a quick glance," he mentions, before looking
over to NineTails.
When she mentions that Aubrey will protect him, Garret actually
claps, hopping once on the balls of his feet. "Ooh really, my
own Troll bodyguard? I thought only the Sidhe got those," he
says, far too excitedly despite the changeling's reaction to it.
"Don't worry, it'll be fun. There was definitely something
interesting about that Cafe. A lot going on here. I can see why
Will'o'wisp brought me there," he mentions. Granted the cafe
itself was only a minimal part of the adventure itself, but
still, it's all connected and he knows it.

Fianna Kinfolk | Troll
[hr]
“As you wish, NineTails,” Aubrey slumps again. But she doesn’t
argue.
“Just let me… go change.”
She turns on a heel and heads toward one of the nearby houses.
When she returns, she will be a man again.
Still looking for excuses not to unpack that…
