    A bit distrustful, but since Doreen backed away when he gave her good reasons to examine her daughter, Brando sees himself in a similar situation. He agrees but let's her known he'll stay nearby aniway

    The ghoul is set on fire, sealing its fate. The walls and ceiling are catching fire as well. Smoke starts filling the warehouse...with Amber going unconscious inside!

    Brando notices nothing unusual for the time being, but please give me an Alertness roll with every IC post for the time being.

    As the spell goes off, Grim watches for a moment in fascination as flames erupt and go ... well, everywhere. He started to get a little nervous when he heard Amber moan and stumble. Turning, he caught the Warden before she face planted, trying to support her.

    Lifting the slight woman over his shoulder, Grim made for the door, eyes constantly scanning for any last minute surprises. Once out, he headed for across the street, where he could watch the warehouse from the relative safety of the shadows.

    Looking down at the dazed magician, he shook his head with a grin. She certainly doesn't do things halfway ... Brushing the hair out of her eyes, he stared for a moment, then shook his head and leaned her up against the wall, somewhat unceremoniously.

    Waiting outside, Brando walks around a bit, paying attention to his surroundings. This would've been much easier if he could enter his other form but it wasn't a good idea

    So, his human senses would have to do. He also keeps telling himself not to get overconfident and thinking he'd be able to notice something this way too

    Brando still doesn't quite notice anything strange quite yet. Doreen looks like she's taking her time to calm down her daughter. It seems like it's working, and Doreen starts dialing.

    Please make another Alertness roll.

    Meanwhile, Amber is still unconscious. She looks absolutely *exhausted* and won't be back up for a little while. The fire grows bigger.

    As he looks into the booth, Brando gets a bit more relaxed. Stacey seemed to be calming down. He still had no idea of what the ghoul's bite might have done, even if it should've been like any normal bite.

    As he strolls around a bit, looking, he begins to list in his mind what kind of tests one should make to find out if she has been..."infected" for lack of a better word

    Brando can't be quite sure, but he thinks...he smells smoke? Coming from the direction of the warehouse they were all in. Keep in mind he has no idea about Amber's plan to burn the whole place down.

    Sighing, Grim watched the flames and smoke increase. Starring down at Amber, then back to the flames, he shook his head. Finally, he reached down and put the Warden over his shoulder, then started looking for the direction in which Brando, Doreen and the girl went. Shrugging to himself, he started in whichever direction seemed the best, trying to put some distance between himself and the soon-to-be raging inferno

    It is difficult for Grim to use his smell to track currently, as the flames and the smoke takes up much of the smell "spectrum" right now. Grim would need to move further away from the inferno before he might use smell to track.

    Looking at the direction of the warehouse, and sniffing a bit, Brando begins to wonder what the hell is going on there

    He keeps his eye opened just in case

    Brando's Alertness roll of Average (+1): (4d3-7)[2]

    Now actually paying attention to that direction, Brando can tell that the warehouse over there is ON FIRE! Doreen appears to be waiting for someone on the other side to pick up.

    What do the PCs wish to do?

    Btw the fire is growing bigger. Does anyone wish to call the fire department? If not, that's fine too.

    Grim grumbled to himself, carrying the comatose mage over his shoulder. He was so out of sorts, he didn't even try to cop a quick feel ... although against a sleeping target, it wasn't nearly as much fun.

    Glancing back and forth, he decided on walking back in the direction they originally came from. Best to put some distance between him and the building before the fire department showed up.

    (I'm here O_o. I never saw this post, I tought I was the last one to post)

    Approaching Doreen, Brando opens the booth a bit, and just as calmly states

    "It seems like the warehouse is on fire. Once you're done with that call I think you should also call the Fire Department..."

    He holds fast there. He had to protect those two for now. On the other hand he is already making plans as to wether having them riding him as a Liger will be acceptable(and possible). Sometimes people don't want to be practical

    Next time, if you don't see activity in a few days, you should check the thread (and the OOC thread) anyways


    As Brando speaks with Doreen, he sees...another Ghoul? This one is moving very, very quickly towards the direction of the fire...or is that towards the booth? The booth is actually in the way so you're not sure what the ghoul's goal is. What does Brando do? If the ghoul is gunning for the warehouse for some reason, Brando can shift into something with high athletics, he might be able to keep up and warn Grim and the unconscious Amber (and perhaps help out if any fight breaks out). Of course, there's always the possibility that the ghoul is here to try to attack you or Doreen directly. If attacking you, brando might also choose to lure the ghoul away from Doreen and Stacy to keep them safe. Last option of course is to just try to fight the ghoul right here, next to the booth. Brando would have the advantage of mom with combat shotgun, but the girl would be in danger.

    I'm here, too ... Grim started walking back in the direction they came from with Amber, since he couldn't find which way Brando went.

    And once again, Brando has to annoy Doreen, but this time he stands in front of the booth in the direction the ghoul is coming from, pretty much positioning to intercept in case it's coming after them

    (College tests are messing up my times X_X)

    "Not cool"

    Not wanting to leave Doreen behind, he signals for her to hurry and looks around his clothes for his cellphone

    He had to call Grey (cause Amber probably doesn't have a working cellphone)

    I will edit if this isn't what actually happens


    Grim felt the vibration of the phone, rolling his eyes as he tried to carry Amber inconspicuously out of range of the burning warehouse. Who the f(*k would be calling me now?

    Pausing in a doorway to prop Amber up in the corner, he reached down and pulled the phone out of his pocket. "Yo."

    (the call goes through. Go ahead and roleplay it out, but the ghoul is FAST so you don't have much time to talk)

    Doreen appears to talk more quickly, and the little girl Stacy hugs her mother's leg closely as the ghoul runs by.

    Grim snorted into the phone, now looking over his shoulder. "Uh, Amber can't come to the phone right now ... she's having sleepy time. I'm rabbiting in the direction we came in. You'd best hurry, or you'll be picking Warden chunks out of our friend's teeth."

    Of course, Grim didn't add that he'd most likely dump the wizard if it meant saving his own a$$, but it was probably best left unsaid. Glancing at Amber, he decided to screw inconspicuous and go for 'Get the Hell Out of Here!' Grunting, Grim threw the woman over his shoulder and put the pedal to the medal, flitting in and out of the shadows like a silver ghost.

    Ok, so basiclly you're grabbing the unconscious Amber and heading out the way you came into this district, and letting Brando and Dorren and Stacy catch up later?

    Grim carries Amber with haste, and behind him the fire grows steadily bigger. He does not see the ghoul chasing after him (or see the ghoul at all).

    Meanwhile, back at the phone booth, Doreen seems agitated, but the converastion seems to be winding down. After another minute or so, she hangs up.

    "Sorry Doreen but I'm in a bit of a hurry so, I'm afraid you gonna have to mount my liger form..."

    Brando speaks and once finished starts the shapeshift without caring to remove his clothes. They end up pretty shreded and he gets rid of whatever straps are left that hamper him. Then he lies on the ground waiting for the woman and her daughter to mount.

    It had been one hell of a day...

    Have you practiced letting people ride you before? If the mount does npot have experience as a mount and the riders are definitely not trained to ride a feline form...


    Doreen looks reluctant. "Can't we just run? I can carry my daughter."
