*Hanna gets up and walks out of her room. She looks at everyone in the hallway the walks to the main room. She sees that everything is mostly broken and frowns.*

*She then heads towards the exit to the room for some fresh air.*

----

*After Walter finishes extinguishing the library get looks around it with a hint of anger.*

Walter: Even if a lot of it was stories for human children... Burning books is never good...

----

*The figure sees someone walking out towards the door and quickly dives into the bushes.*

*Black tendrils rip through the ground and coil around each remaining skull, crushing them in the process*

To help one Devil kill his own father. Mortals make little sense.

*Karma flies at one tendril, but a black thorn (about three feet long, and covered in spikes) fires out from it, and impales her. The same tendril then wraps around her, keeping her in place*
*Lecter growls and looks around*
Lecter: Show your face.

*The humanoid figure near Sydney is missing a half of a leg, which has been replaced by a large ass blade. The figure himself looks like a cross between a scarecrow and a jester. It keeps limping towards Sydney, occasionally doing a flip as well, with a surprising skill in acrobatics*

*Jillian nods, but keeps on alert.*
Jillian: I'm fine, just a little singed. Xan just stay seated till we can get you healed.
*She holsters her magnum, and looks around the kitchen for medical supplies.*

---
*John sighs with annoyance, and starts blasting holes in the tendrils. As he does that Sasha keeps near John, with her tower shield up to ward off any attacks on both of them.*

*Xan doesn't know what the word 'seated' means, but she assumes it means stay down and does so. She props herself up against the wall and starts licking her wounds like a cat.*

*Iris feels horrible over what she said to Hanna. She slips from Horus's grasp, and wraps herself in the singed blankets. She steps outside the bedroom and looks down the hall at Hanna's room. She walks to the door and knocks lightly*
Iris: Hanna? Hanna can I talk to you please? I want to apologize...

*Hanna's door opens when Iris knocks on it because it was not fully closed and there was nothing to stop it from swinging open.*

*Hanna walks out the front of the room. She pauses and sniffs the air and looks around. She could smell something she didn't like, but she assumed it was probably some smell left by the bat monsters. She then climbed onto the roof and looked over at the storm.*

----

*Walter is slightly distressed from looking upon all the burnt books and he quickly looks out a window to check on the storm. Seeing that it's still there he frowns, he'd hoped the bat monsters were somehow connected. He then headed off to his room to make sure it was still in order.*

----

*The figure watched Hanna climb onto the roof the waited a few moments before getting out of the bushes and walked towards the room. He mad sure to be quiet just encase the inhabitants were less then friendly. He wouldn't mind a fight but he doesn't want to be caught off guard.*

*Zeta decides to not let Jillian do all the work again, then stands up while cradling her injured hand to her chest. She stands behind Jillian, and peers over her shoulder, cause she doesn't actually know what she's looking for, due to not being able to read text in asterisks.*
Zeta: Er, what're you looking for, and can I help?

---

*Vaseraga is silently singing I Need A Hero in his mind while he pivots on his feet to hack at the tendrils with his massive scythe. Again, he isn't fazed one bit if he gets poked in the chest by a tentacle, although that isn't saying he'd willingly let it happen.*
Vaseraga: Are we enjoying ourselves yet?
*His question is mostly directed at the rest of the group, but also himself partly.*

*Major walks over unsteadily and pulls off uniform outer jacket to be able to treat his wounds revealing the compact Armour underneath over vital organs*
*Grabs one of med kits from cabinet and starts dealing with burns gritting teeth as applies the ointment*

*tosses gillian one of the med kits*
Think everyone be needing one of these, this place seems to be a magnet to every damned mutant and raider in the sector.

*goes back to working on his own wounds and treating them having worst burns to arms where the electric arced off pistols metal components and both pistols holstered at hip with pounces for energy cells*

*Iris looks into the room*
Iris: Hanna? Hanna!?
*She searches the room, worried over Hanna. Not finding her, she runs out of her bedroom towards the main room*
Iris: Hanna?! Hanna!?
*She screeches to a halt when she sees Jillian and Zeta*
Iris: Jill! Have you seen Hanna anywhere!? I can't find her!

*Sydney looks sluggishly over at the creature*
Sydney: What the f&#$ is THAT!?

*The tendrils heal as fast as they're damaged, and begin shooting the thorns at the group as well*
*Lecter heads towards the tendril holding Karma, his demonic reflexes allowing him to block the oncoming thorns with his blade*

I had hoped that you wouldn't make me hurt my own blood. But I must do what is necessary.
*Karma's tendrils squeezes down on her, causing her bones to shatter*
*The earth shakes violently as a massive, black centipede bursts from the ground near the group, and heads straight for the group*
Lecter: Damnit Be'lak, let me kill you!

*The humanoid laughs as it vaults forwards, spinning through the air as it angles its leg blade at Sydney's throat*

*Hanna could probably hear Iris calling out for her, but she's not to happy with Iris at the moment so she closes her eyes and rests on the roof. She bites off her thumb then shoves her fingers in her ears so she doesn't have to listen to Iris call for her.*

----

*The figure pokes his head in the doorway.*

Figure: Hello?

*Vaseraga stops trying to cut the tendrils after the one he was focusing on regrows several times, and so he turns his attention to the centipede coming towards the group. He laughs at it again, again, completely unfazed about his torso almost looking like swiss cheese, and steps inbetween the centipede and the group, leveling his scythe in its direction, sending out a massive ripple blast along the ground, which is used to displace things rather than kill them.*

Jillian: We are looking for...
*Jillian takes the med kit, and nods to Major.*
Jillian: Thanks, we are all good Zeta, now to Xan.
*Jillian then goes over to Xan, and does a inspection of her. She is pretty well trained in healing (Like all gunslingers.), and does her best to help. Also subtly treats her own wounds as she works.*
Jillian: Have no clue where she is Iris.

---
*Sasha sheaths her sword, and swings to face the centiped. As she does this she opens her gauntleted palm, and like magic her lance jumps from the ground to her hand. After that she aims her lance at the insect, which glows brightly as it prepares to unleash it's beam.*
*She keeps her shield up towards the thorns, and manages not to get impaled.*

*John's armor blocks most of the thorns, but his non vital areas are starting to get glanced. He staggers as one slams into his knee, and cures a great deal.*
John: We all just fucking peachy...
*He puts away his blasters, draws his quad barrel, and prepares for the centipede.*

*Xan is more than a little cautious, but allows Jillian to treat her wounds*
Xan: Thank you... Jillian show much... niceness...
*She offers Jillian a small smile of thanks*

*Iris looks into the kitchen for Hanna, still calling her name worriedly*
Iris: Oh.. Thank you Jillian, just keep an eye out for her okay?
*She can't hide the worry in her voice.*
Iris: Hanna!? OH! The Library!
*She rushes off to teh library and looks very upset when she sees the damage dealt to it*
Iris: Oh no... All those books...

*Xan looked very surprised at Iris's appearance*
Xan: I did not know there were Dragonlords here...

*Zeta nods, and looks for threats while Jillian helps out Xan. Eventually, she sits down against a cupboard and closes her eyes from tiredness.*
Zeta: You got this covered... I'm gonna... rest up a 'ittle bit...
*She's already passed out before anyone can respond, and her spear floats above her hwad, keep8ng watch over it's blonde companion.*

*Jillian nods to Xan, and finishes treating her own wounds.*
Jillian: I wouldn't say that, but thank you.
*She frowns at Zeta passing out, and decides to check her for wounds.*

*Xan is still obviously concussed but stands unsteadily and walks alongside Jillian*
Xan: Welcome. What was that? That thing? It not like anything I ever see before.
*She leans heavily on a chair, looking almost as tired as Zeta*
Xan: Hm...
*She would say she's dizzy, if she knew the word*

*Hanna is now sleeping on the roof rather happily. She kind of likes the solitude.*

----

*The figure frowns and walks into the main room.*

Figure: Wow this place is a mess.

*Xan walks into the main room, aiming for the couches. She flops down on one, then looks at the stranger. To him, she would seem odd, dressed as she is in scant tribal looking furs, with several necklaces, bracelets and tattoos over much of body.*
Xan:...Who you? I not see before.

*The figure look at Xan and tilts his head.*

Figure: The name is Hugo. Nice to meet you.

*Hugo then looks around the main room and the spikes jutting out of his arm slowly retract back underneath his skin.*

Hugo: I've come here looking for someone. Well. something would be a better word...

*Zeta is just completely passed out, with very little hope outside of her spear that can wake her up anytime soon. Her spear points itself at Jillian, putting itself inbetween Jillian and Zeta. It flashes a bright red to warn Jillian to not get any closer, cause it isn't as trusting as Zeta, with good reason.*
