@AdobeFlash Well I'd say I go first with Jaklo and the enemy. Then three of you then me using only the enemy. Then the last two. Then it's Jaklo and the enemy again. basically makes it 3 and 3.

I know that post may seem a bit meta since none have you stepped inside, but otherwise each of you would have to discover each part a post at a time, and really that would just drag things out and slow you guys down from getting to investigate the area.

((Investigations))

The house had held up well considering the weight of snow on top of it. There was a thin layer of ice coating the whole building giving it an eerie otherworldly look. With the door defrosted the group was free to enter. The power was out and the snow blocked all of the first floor windows making the area very dark save for the open doorway.

The house was a two stories, but still very small. The first floor was almost entirely open. From the doorway there were stairs to the right, on the left was the kitchen, and across the way was the living room. The whole place was in disarray. It looked like an earthquake had knocked over anything not secured. Not there was much to fall. The whole place was very lightly furnished who ever lived here probably only moved recently or wasn’t able to afford much.

The second floor was pretty much just the bathroom, bedroom, and closet. Once again the rooms were largely lacking in furniture. The stairs up were very noisy creaking at the slightest amount of weight and making a thud with a person’s full weight. There were no signs of a basement despite the space under the stairs being walled in though.

Overall only one thing was clear whoever lived here wasn’t here now.

((Combat Team))

Jaklo had been trying to get a bead on where they were so he could start tracking their quarry. His senses were some of the keenest in the office and he had by far the most tracking skills being a beast hunter first and foremost. Out here though with this weather he was still having trouble. While the winds howled deafeningly there was another sound echoing through the vermont countryside. Jaklo’s ears noticeably perked up as he raised a hand to them.

“One… two… One… two…” He began to count.

His eyes widened noticing the pattern.

“It’s moving, it’s actually walking, and I don’t think it’s a mage anymore.” Jaklo shouted rushing back to the group, “Whatever this is it’s a lot bigger than we thought. We should try to get a closer look so investigations knows what we are dealing with.”

Jaklo hadn’t even noticed the witch that joined the group. His focus was purely on the hunt now. He had Legacy in one hand, Arcane Justice in the other, and a devilish grin on his face.

I swear I haven't been stacking the deck for the best conflicts or anything. It's not like I want to sow drama in with the character interaction.

Anyway since everyone seems to be listening to Azai for his plan I'm gonna format the last bits of the investigation post. and give you all the details for the outside and inside so you can wander as you need.

As for the combat team prep now cause there is a thunderous footstep echoing through the howling wind.

No one's even met her yet, lol.

I wanted to hold off on making a post until the plot moves forward a little more or until another Jaklo post so that I've got some lead in. If that's not necessary, then I'll start working on something.

@fdeviant

Just post now we're literally just standing in the snow.

@fdeviant You do realize your boss is a witch (technically any mage) hunter right? You probably wouldn't last long going to the darkside.

Ologies: A Study of Arcane Specialists {Paranormal Investigations and more}

@fdeviant The only problem is that Witch cat now is entirely useless comparitively. Welcome aboard!

I'm just gonna assign you here to the combat team for a healer role if that's alright.

@fdeviant Yeha I'm capping it at 12 and we're at 10 right now. But the barrier to entry is much higher. Ya have to have something very original that adds to the group.

@shinigami94 ya didn't change the thing so my post still fits at least.

“...” Jaklo was entirely silent as his eyes narrowed and he began to growl after Azai finished talking.

He grabbed a boot from the shelves and chucked it at Azai’s head as he entered the portal shouting,

“My name’s not Jak damnit!”

The boot went through the portal only a second behind Azai, but appeared on the other side striking him in the head about ten seconds later. Jaklo grumbled and muttered about his name all the while tossing the other boot back and forth unsure if he wanted to throw it as well. One was good for now, so he dropped it and hoped Azai heard him.

Jaklo now properly pissed was ready to rip the head off whatever was messing with the weather. He headed through the opposite portal and met up with the combat team. He loaded Arcane Justice here with four Dragon’s Breath rounds. These weren’t standard issue either. Like all the rest of his gear Jaklo only used what he made. These were very similar to his hunter’s firebomb, and would easily melt through even enchanted ice at close range.

“Alright, the hunt is on and the plan is simple. We find it, we kill it, and then we all take a photo with the new trophy.”
