You walk into the room. The stack of cash is sitting on the table beneath several newspapers and inside a tin case. To anyone else, this is a pile of garbage right at home with the house. To you, it is some much needed money.

The nereid walks in like if she owned the place, gracefully and confidently. Her eyes glow like an anglerfish antenna, that lures prey into its jagged teeth to devour them. If the people in the garage were already engaged with the poltergeist, she could exploit that situation. Getting to the door, she pushes it open. Her eyes now explode in light, as she intones another deep and dark spell. This time the humans feel their resolve fading, and their minds enthralled by the light of the deep.

With your gaze, you call upon their minds, breaking their wills. They have become entranced and unable to focus upon anything, or even notice their (very dangerous) surroundings.

"I only bit her a little!" The Va'kar says defensively as she wipes the blood from her mouth. "And of course I'm not eating her; I'm not a savage! I would never do that without the proper utensils."

"Ugh. The mortal flesh truly is weak. Whatever, it's not as if I'm the one who killed that one. Just please mind her ghost, could be useful." Vincent says, as if everyone should be aware that the woman might've left a spirit behind. He moves into the house proper, getting a look at the garage first hand. With a snap of his fingers, the hangman's sack opened even wider as it screamed, avoiding his mythical companion.

OOC: Since I keep getting called that, may as well own up to it. Changed to poltergeist.

Another wail rings through their bodies and souls. Their wills are shattered one by one. The guard with the shotgun falls to the ground, vomiting on himself as he collapses. Conscious, but only just. The dealer, a moment before shouting words of encouragement, has now lost the ability to stand. He finds himself gripping the table to keep himself from falling. The buyer gasps quietly, her breathing shallow and rapid. The only man left standing is one lone guard. Tomlin Wyatt didn't have a good childhood, but despite his problems, he always used his iron will to keep on his feet. That last wail may have laid his friends down, but his Desert Eagle was raised high.

[Buyer 1's turn]

Mercy Jemma Rimely was stunned. She had a need. She just needed to satisfy it. She didn't know who these people were, but she knew her life was in her hands.

[OOC: Ok... I had to recalculate your attack because, well, it didn't seem correct. I did a lot of math and reading the rules to figure out that... nope you are right. Good thing PBP protects you from my fifteen minutes of rules and math. That would have sucked... Also, you are just barely fast enough to get into the area. I considered the possibility that two people in front of the door should slow you down, but they are 'friendly' so figured they wouldn't try to get in your way.]

[Toughness Resistance 23 vs 25, One Degree of Failure http://orokos.com/roll/733667]

Tomlin had his pistol out and ready. He was going to kill one of these pricks that hurt his friends. Probably that german. Suddenly, what he could only describe as that #&%$ing alien from the movies leaped out from the kitchen. Tomlin tried to shoot it, but the shot went wide as the alien gored him. He gripped his now rent gut and went to a knee.

"%&$^ you." He said quietly as he fell over.

"Must get out... Must" The dealer stood up, barely. His extra reserve of energy getting him up and that is it. He couldn't see, or hear. He had no idea what was happening anymore. He just needed to get out. He stumbled in the direction of the garage door opener, his arm outstretched.

Breach
HP: 1; Condition: Gots Money

Stuffing the cash in a pocket, she rushes over to the garage and sees a bunch of folk on the ground and the guy bumping into shit. "Great, let's grab this money and get the hell out of here. Try not to touch anything, too."

She gives a look at the clothing worn by the guards. [ooc: is anything "her size" and not covered in blood? If so...] "I'm calling dibs on that one's clothes. We can't buy clothes wearing these prison jump suits. But with normal clothes we can just walk into the mall and buy stuff quickly. Also catching a taxi is easier when you aren't wearing prison clothing."

[ooc: She is also looking to score a few "individual" packets of the drugs here.] She picks up a couple ziplocks. "Hey, these might be useful at the casino."

[OOC: This sounds like an investigation check. Rolling for you. Investigation Check 22, http://orokos.com/roll/733683]

You give a look through their stuff. On the table is a small Tupperware container with four stacks of cash. A quick look at it verifies that there is $34000 in cash. [Roll: http://orokos.com/roll/733684] You also see a couple of rolls sitting on the table valuing $450. Clothes wise, there is a pile of clothing on the dryer. Searching through it, you find plenty of male clothing in sizes a bit too big for any of you. You could wear the shirts, but the pants would fall off without a tight belt. The washer has a pile of dirty clothes. This mostly contains men's sizes again, but there is a blouse, jeans, and panties that approximate clean. There is also a bra stuffed along the side of the dryer that looks like it hasn't been washed in the current decade. Whoever the female guard is, she made a good choice not washing her clothes here.

In addition to what you have found through your investigations, you notice that the buyer in this room is largely untouched as are her clothes. She seems to have relieved herself however. You also remember that the female guard you left behind in the family room was wearing a decent set of clothes that would roughly fit you.

Drug-wise, they are not lying around for the most part. Two baggies containing what looks like heroin lie on the ground. You suspect that the rest is in the kitchen (which you passed by on your way here) or on the dealer himself.

Whoops, forgot to do this. I am the world's best GM :)

[OOC: Also forgot another secret roll, -3 http://orokos.com/roll/733688]

You hear a faint scream from outside. You aren't sure what it is, but you suspect it has to do with the gunshot that was just fired.

[OOC: Cops called, shots fired. Unaware of powered villains presence. ETA: 66 rounds or 6 minutes and 36 seconds. http://orokos.com/roll/733689]

[ooc: I meant the clothes the unconscious female guard was wearing.]

Breach grabs the tupperware container full of cash and heads for the unconscious guard to see if her clothing is salvageable.

"Damn, someone must have heard that gunshot."

[OOC: Add the money to your inventory]

Her nose is broken and a bit of blood dribbles from her mouth, but does not affect her clothing. They are simple solid colors with a random logo in front. You take them off and check their fit. Not perfect, but it'll do.
