The Merge: Agents and Powers Chapter 2: Agents Abroad

[jmucchiello]

"Yes it does sound important. Hopefully the fools we're looking for didn't go in that direction." Adeleth says to Amy. To the dark clad figure she says, "Out of curiosity, why can't you go there yourself? And can you give a better description than 'dead things'? Do you know anything about the pair of humans we are searching for, presuming you heard our chat with the spiders?"

Amy

"Well they were interested in bunkers and other places like that." she said, disapproval in her voice evident.

"Out of curiosity, why can't you go there yourself? And can you give a better description than 'dead things'?

"Yeah, different 'dead things' have different ways of being killed. Going in without proper information will get us killed." she smiled a little at the vampire, not in the least bit discomfited by his appearance. After all, the worst monsters usually had a pleasant face and smile for you in her experience. Right before they did something horrifying to you. "No loss for you, but it would be rather unpleasant for us. I personally would rather avoid that at the moment."

[Neo-Paladin]

The vampire shrugs. " Thingth that we do not know but thmell of death. Thingth that eat other creatureth and grow...or make them like them once they are dead..."
He adds, " We cannot go there becauthe we would die. Thomething eath thoulth there."

[kirinke]

Amy

Uncharacteristically sober, she looked at the others. "We need to call this in."

[Bladewind]

Torque
Condition: Normal
HP: 1

"Agreed." Unless anyone objects, Torque indeed calls in the new information.

[Neo-Paladin]

Hagen answers directly. " That's bad. However, we still need to save these two Youtubers. Can I count on you to at least attempt, if the risk for you is manageable?"

[kirinke]

Amy

"Yes I believe we can. We'll also try to get some video of the bunker and the critters if it's possible to do so." she told him.

[Tony Jones]

"When you say the things from the bunker eat souls," Lilly asks the Nosferatu politely. "Can you tell us how that works? How close do they need to be? How fast does it happen? Can they affect more than one person at a time? What happens to the person whose soul is eaten? Are they vulnerable while they are 'eating'?"

[Neo-Paladin]

The Nosferatu shakes his head. " I wathn't there. But we hear and know all. One of the thingth got clothe to a neonate. Touched her and the jutht crumbled into dutht. But the thame doth not appear to happen to living creatures. Thothe they just kill."

[Tony Jones]

"Do you know how many of them there are?" Lilly asks. "Is there anything they seem to avoid or dislike?"

[Bladewind]

Torque
Condition: Normal
HP: 1

"So instant unlife won't occur." Torque adds, thinking aloud, "We still need to be alert and attempt to gain intel on this situation

"So, for safe passage, we will investigate this matter and if possible find a means for you to be protected against it. Amenable?"

[kirinke]

Amy

"Is there any sort of poison or energy that affects people if they get too near the place?" she asked.

[Neo-Paladin]

The Nosferatu nods. " Then we have a deal", he says to Torque. " No poithon ath far ath we know. There were two groupth headed there not too long ago. And thome of them did look human and went inthide. None have yet returned."

[Tony Jones]

"Can you tell us what sort of non-humans they were?" asks Lilly. "Were they with humans or in a separate group?"

[kirinke]

Amy

The Nosferatu nods. " Then we have a deal", he says to Torque. " No poithon ath far ath we know. There were two groupth headed there not too long ago. And thome of them did look human and went inthide. None have yet returned."

"So we don't follow the old horror tropes and go exploring in the damned place." she said sensibly.
