Re: Cleanup in the Labyrinth, Rescuing a Verbena, Late Night at Steelhaven Hall IC Thread 52

"Well with your skill with spirits chances are you will get there one day child."
Amadeus said with a nod.
"Jeffry is a damn Hermetic snot but he is a good teacher."
He admitted with a deep frown

"There's much to do before I could indulge in creating a vacation spot."

"Be careful mea filius, try to keep Mr Wainwright otu of further trouble."
Your Mentor added before he hung up on the call.

"I'll try..." he said, more to himself as he put his phone away.

He chuckled, "I wonder if we could get away with landing your Pater's shuttle in the Star Wars area of the park?"

He laughed. "Better lock it down good before you leave it, if you do or you'll find a bunch of literal kids at the controls."

He waited for the door to slide open, and started walking toward it, "Alright you two in there, I know you're hiding in that room, hoping to avoid the battle and sneak out unscathed later. Now, if you surrender politely, I'm inclined to send you safely to the dockside, where Mr. Dalic was sent a little while ago, unharmed and unruffled. Well, unscathed by us, at any rate."

Attempting to keep Colin behind his shield, he moved forward with him, unsure what his game plan was getting closer as he was but wanting to protect him nonetheless.

"There's much to do before I could indulge in creating a vacation spot."

"Duty before play eh?"
Amadeus muttered with a chuckle.

Colin sighed, "Yes, life over death... but death feeds new life, and while it is decaying flesh, this place is still alive, thinking and feeling. And yes, I will... I'll do my best."

"Death have it's place yes but this...creature still feels wrong to me."
Amadeus grumbeled.

He nodded, "Likely, even."

The old Verbena nodded at that.

He sighed, "Please do... best if they can hear us coming, I think, so we can offer them a better option than fighting their way out."

"Good luck and be careful."
Tali said as the doors the the room the vampires was hiding in slowly begun to open.

The bone doors receded, for a moment there was no reply, but then a nervous voice muttered.
"Ehm...surrendering, what will that entail...will we be restrained?"
A male voice asked and it was clear what he meant about restrained, the vampire sounded rather nervous and both of them was still hidden in the now open room.

"Living in a war...as the younger apprentices put it...sucks, but it is what it is."
George said with a sigh.
"I hope one day we will be done with this conflict and can enjoy our magick and seek enlightenment in peace, but that day have nto arrived yet so for now all we can do is try to keep our lvoed ones safe."
The old magus said and he gave the young Cultist a gentle pat on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your help child."
He said.
"You did well."

"Thank you Primus." Serge said with a nod.

"Death have it's place yes but this...creature still feels wrong to me."
Amadeus grumbeled.

Colin nodded, "Well, that can hardly be disputed. It's not life that belongs on our side of Reality, but it's alive, nonetheless, and not Qlippothic."
He smiled wryly, "Miss Mandis approves of him, at least... but she's admittedly a little special, in that regard."

He laughed. "Better lock it down good before you leave it, if you do or you'll find a bunch of literal kids at the controls."

He smiled tiredly, appreciating seeing Adley briefly less tense, if only momentarily.

Attempting to keep Colin behind his shield, he moved forward with him, unsure what his game plan was getting closer as he was but wanting to protect him nonetheless.

The bone doors receded, for a moment there was no reply, but then a nervous voice muttered.
"Ehm...surrendering, what will that entail...will we be restrained?"
A male voice asked and it was clear what he meant about restrained, the vampire sounded rather nervous and both of them was still hidden in the now open room.

He slowed down his pace to keep Adley close, "Honestly, it's been a rough night, and I'd just like you out of my Labyrinth as soon as possible. I don't care for carrying dead weight, if you'll pardon the phrase. No, we'll just escort you via a shortcut to the exit, from where you'll be teleported somewhere out of the way and out of sight. Though I can't promise Mr. Dalic will have lingered in the area for this long, of course, he'd have no reason to stay there."
He paused for a moment, "We might want to ask you a small favour first, though, if you know a bit of, er, Kindred-specific medicine, as it were."

"Duty before play eh?" Amadeus muttered with a chuckle.

"Yes, miles to go before I sleep and such."

He was not sure where Colin was going with the last half of what he said to the (presumably) vampires within, but for the moment he kept ready in case the conversation turned.

"Yes, miles to go before I sleep and such."

Amadeus nodded at that with a tired sigh.
"For us all child, for us all.

"Thank you Primus." Serge said with a nod.

"Well then, I will nto take up more of your time. I would say go to bed child but I have a feeling none of us will rest much before our friend who are attacking the Labyrinth are back safely."
George said with a sigh.
"If you need something to do checking on my apprentice and youngest brother might be useful, just to make sure Kyle is resting, the boy needs it."
Helena said.
"But if you want to go to bed Mr Yager I will not stop you."

[Labyrinth intersection]

Colin nodded, "Well, that can hardly be disputed. It's not life that belongs on our side of Reality, but it's alive, nonetheless, and not Qlippothic."
He smiled wryly, "Miss Mandis approves of him, at least... but she's admittedly a little special, in that regard."

"Well it do nto suprise me that Miss Mandis approves of the Labyrinth creature her Tradition have their own...ehm...peculiarities."
Amadeus said then he sigh.
"But this critter will be your concern Mr Wainwright so I will not say much about it."
He said but he clearly did not approve.

He paused for a moment, "We might want to ask you a small favour first, though, if you know a bit of, er, Kindred-specific medicine, as it were."

"So...we will not be...restrained and not harmed just teleported out of here?"
Another voice this one female asked, she sounded rather nervous as well.
"Kindred medicine, there is not much really, setting bones and sewing up a wound before using blood to heal it will lessen the amount of blood used, other than that blood mostly takes care of things."
The man commented.

'Would seem insane not to... the amount of resources a place this size would have.' discovering a half-smoked cigarette and lighting it with her old lighter.

"Resources and hidden dangers, I would have preferred to burn the place to the ground, but your Cabalmate made a deal with the woman maintaining this place and such deals have to be kept."
Jeffry said with a frown.

A small shrug to this, then readied herself to follow the two seniors.

Crexia and Jeffry lead the way back to one of the eyeballs and waited until everyone was gathered before requesting transportation back to the hub Amadeus and the rest was waiting at. Again there was that feeling of passing trhough rotten flesh and then you, Fran and the two Masters was back at the hub. Amadeus gave a nod when he saw the four of you and Helga who was there now looked in your direction and grunted. You did not see Adley or Colin though they migth have already gone to deal with the vampires.

Before or after the salvage operation?' the Etherite replied, vaguely curious, trying to not let herself drop her guard.

"I would rather burn this place down than salvage anything from it, but I can nto deny that your Cabalmate's deal with the Labyrinth Keeper have been useful Miss Bouchard, as a side effect of that this place will be searched from ehm...bones to bones as it where."
Jeffry said glancing around.
"But nothing good can come from somethign this Entropic in my opinion."

Shaking off the feelings of disgust from the method of transport, Nicole first looked around to see if Antonio was present and/or okay...

You did not see Antonio, probably he had been teleported out already and sent back to Steelhaven to rest...if he was alive that was.
"You just missed your two Cabalmates Miss Bouchard."
Amadeus said with a tired look in his pale, gray eyes.
"Do you or Miss Mandis need any healing?"
He asked and Fran shook her head.
"No Lady Crexia helped me at least Sir...what about you Nick?"
The death maga asked and she looked over at you.

He said but he clearly did not approve.

Colin smiled thinly, "True... He's a big sweetie, though. He'd probably try to crawl into your lap for petting if he could..."

"So...we will not be...restrained and not harmed just teleported out of here?"
Another voice this one female asked, she sounded rather nervous as well.
"Kindred medicine, there is not much really, setting bones and sewing up a wound before using blood to heal it will lessen the amount of blood used, other than that blood mostly takes care of things."
The man commented.

He nodded, slowly stepping into view of the door, "Quite so, we'll take out back to the entryway by means of a shortcut, so you'll avoid any nasty wards and traps on the way, too; I wish you to leave the premises, not give me more work."
He frowned, "Hm, my injured friend is a Kiasyd who took a nasty hit to protect my fellow Mages... a brave, good man. I guess I can only hope he recovers quickly, then. Well, in any case, if you'd be so kind as to come out here, both of you, and we'll lead you to freedom. The old Tzimisce is long gone, in any case, so you shouldn't have to worry about any repercussions from him, either."

Colin smiled thinly, "True... He's a big sweetie, though. He'd probably try to crawl into your lap for petting if he could..."

"Yes well that do not make him any less wrong."
Amadeus said with a frown.

He nodded, slowly stepping into view of the door, "Quite so, we'll take out back to the entryway by means of a shortcut, so you'll avoid any nasty wards and traps on the way, too; I wish you to leave the premises, not give me more work."

A man and a woman stepped into view, the man was tall and thin with pale skin and dark blond hair that he kept short, he was wearing a white shirt and black west over black jeans, a silver cross hanging on a chain around his neck. The woman was shorter though she to was thin, she had tan skin and her hair was black and kept in a ponytail, the woman had on a long, black skirt with a loose, pink blouse, a rope of red stones, agates perhaps hung around her neck with similar stones at her ears. Both of the vampires held her hands where you could clearly see them.
"We would very much like to leave in peace."
The man said.
"As long as you do not try to harm us we will not offer you any trouble."
The woman chimed in.

He frowned, "Hm, my injured friend is a Kiasyd who took a nasty hit to protect my fellow Mages... a brave, good man. I guess I can only hope he recovers quickly, then. Well, in any case, if you'd be so kind as to come out here, both of you, and we'll lead you to freedom. The old Tzimisce is long gone, in any case, so you shouldn't have to worry about any repercussions from him, either."

"This Kiasyd is it Mr Amelie, it is not that many of them after all?"
The woman asked.
"He is hurt, well that sucks, he is Kindred though so he should heal...and the priest is dead...hum, well not many will grieve for him."

[Labyrinth, 4.15]

'Seems kinda wasteful...' shaking her head.

"Some things are not worth having even if they are valuable when corruption cling to them."
Jeffry commented.

'No, I'm okay... where's Riez?' she said, looking around the room.

"Mr Riez was sent back to Steelhaven, he needs rest even with his wounds healed he was still unconcious, he could not continue and I do not want him in harm's way if there are more trouble, but he should be okey with time and rest."
Amadeus replied.
"He took a nasty hit though, it was not easy to heal."

[Adley]

[Labyrinth intersection]

Colin smiled thinly, "True... He's a big sweetie, though. He'd probably try to crawl into your lap for petting if he could..."

"Small favors that he is too large for such," he said, looking disgusted. "Perhaps we can at least release it to an entropic area, or in the outer Umbra where it might find it's way back. I don't know. But we can figure it out later."

A man and a woman stepped into view, the man was tall and thin with pale skin and dark blond hair that he kept short, he was wearing a white shirt and black west over black jeans, a silver cross hanging on a chain around his neck.

He didn't make any aggressive moves as they came out with their hands up, still holding guard and listening to the exchange between Colin and the pair.

[Dealing with the vampires]

The two vampires glanced over at Adley, they did not seam hostile more scared, they glanced from Colin to Adley and back again.
"Well here we are "
The woman said.
"What should we do now?"

[Warpmind]

[Labyrinth intersection]

"Yes well that do not make him any less wrong."
Amadeus said with a frown.

"Small favors that he is too large for such," he said, looking disgusted. "Perhaps we can at least release it to an entropic area, or in the outer Umbra where it might find it's way back. I don't know. But we can figure it out later."

Colin nodded, "True... eventually, he might grow into something very much like a battlecruiser, and having one of our own, without the qlippothic link, might be something our Lords and Masters on Horizon may be interested in. But yes, he's still got a wrongness to him. He's... a little too close to Earth for comfort."

The woman said.
"What should we do now?"

Colin slowly and calmly holstered the pistol again, nodding to the two, "Now I am holstering my weapon, and guiding you over to the eyeball here... it's a bit of an unusual experience, but I assure you, it's harmless. The big, lovable doof works for me."

"This Kiasyd is it Mr Amelie, it is not that many of them after all?"
The woman asked.
"He is hurt, well that sucks, he is Kindred though so he should heal...and the priest is dead...hum, well not many will grieve for him."

He nodded, "He's a good man... quite caring and honourable. He was... not supposed to be at the front lines, but he risked himself for us, all the same. Hm... well, if he's not regained consciousness before we depart, I suppose we'll have to let him rest safely in the basement here, far from the sun. Not that that will mean anything to you, of course, since I doubt you'll see the building on the outside - that's no threat, we're just sending you by a magical shortcut."

But yes, he's still got a wrongness to him. He's... a little too close to Earth for comfort."

"A Battlecruiser would be interesting Mr Wainwright, I am not claiming otherwise but even so this...this creature is just wrong."
Amadeus muttered sourly.
"Well be that as it may, this place is your problem now Mr Wainwright, Jeffry said you can keep it so I will not protest."

Colin slowly and calmly holstered the pistol again, nodding to the two, "Now I am holstering my weapon, and guiding you over to the eyeball here... it's a bit of an unusual experience, but I assure you, it's harmless. The big, lovable doof works for me."

"Yeah...we have been transported though the eyeball system before, it is not plesant but yeah...it is effective."
The woman said she gave a wry smile she seamed a bit more relaxed when you put your weapon away though she and her friend was still nervous.

He nodded, "He's a good man... quite caring and honourable. He was... not supposed to be at the front lines, but he risked himself for us, all the same. Hm... well, if he's not regained consciousness before we depart, I suppose we'll have to let him rest safely in the basement here, far from the sun. Not that that will mean anything to you, of course, since I doubt you'll see the building on the outside - that's no threat, we're just sending you by a magical shortcut."

"Well if he is in torpor, that is a sort of deep unconciousness that vampires enter into when badly hurt, it is allmost like with old laptops that had a falling sensor that would shut down the hardisc when the machine was falling so it would not get mroe hurt from the drop."
The woman said.
"Then he can be waken up by a bit of vampire blood, the stronger the blood the better but be careful as to much of it can enslave you, through our group have a bit of a protection against that. However if he is badly hrut it is generally better to feed him human blood regularly and just let him heal. I was pretty badly hurt once, dozens of bullets to put it like that. I only remember the first few hits and then i woke up three weeks later in a dark attic, my body had just shut down while I healed, I am sort of glad I did nto have to experience all of it."
The woman said with a shrug.
"But if you need Mr Amelie awake then vampire blood will do it."

[Labyrinth intersection]

Colin holstered his weapon, Adley did not. But he did not point it at the pair either and kept it neutrally angled in a safe position, low ready, as if there was not an immediate threat. He tried to make it clear that if they weren't hostile to himself or the others, then he wasn't going to be either. But there were other dangers possible and they were after all vampires. Otherwise, he appeared alert to the pair as well as general surroundings as he could be and was quite happy to let Colin discuss things and herd the pair off to where they could soon be rid of them.

No one but your group and an occasional spirit seamed to be around. Jeffry nodded at this, he spoke with Crexia then he said.
"Once your Cabalmates return we go back to the marble room and return to the villa from there."

Amadeus muttered sourly.
"Well be that as it may, this place is your problem now Mr Wainwright, Jeffry said you can keep it so I will not protest."

Colin chuckled softly, "Oh, do feel free to protest its nature. If nothing else, it might help keep me on my toes, and venting is almost always somewhat cathartic, anyway."

Colin holstered his weapon, Adley did not. But he did not point it at the pair either and kept it neutrally angled in a safe position, low ready, as if there was not an immediate threat.

The two vampired eyed Adley nervously for a moment as they walked towards the eyeball as directed but none of them made any threathening moves or seamed hostile as they spoke with Colin.

He gave Adley a small smile, then turned his attention back on the vampires, "We should not linger long here; there are still spirits of unknown inclination in the Labyrinth, some are more likely than others to be malevolent."

"Yeah...we have been transported though the eyeball system before, it is not plesant but yeah...it is effective."
The woman said she gave a wry smile she seamed a bit more relaxed when you put your weapon away though she and her friend was still nervous.

He nodded, "It has its advantages, but I fear I won't feel clean again for some time."

"Well if he is in torpor, that is a sort of deep unconciousness that vampires enter into when badly hurt, it is allmost like with old laptops that had a falling sensor that would shut down the hardisc when the machine was falling so it would not get mroe hurt from the drop."

The woman said with a shrug.
"But if you need Mr Amelie awake then vampire blood will do it."

He paused for a moment, "I am not entirely unfamiliar with your torpor, I have, well... I made a mistake I am trying to make amends for. It takes time. But vampire blood accelerating the process, hmm... As a hypothetical, would a thin-blooded vampire be able to help without this risk of blood bonding?"

He patted the wall by the eyeball, "Alright, buddy... back to the entrance with all four of us, please."

[Anja Rebekka Schultze]

[Labyrinth intersection]

Colin chuckled softly, "Oh, do feel free to protest its nature. If nothing else, it might help keep me on my toes, and venting is almost always somewhat cathartic, anyway."

"There is not much to vent about, I do not like this...creature but had the decicion been mine I probably would have done the same as Jeffry, Tali have been most useful, probably helping to reduce our casualties by quite allot, keeping this mass of rotting flesh alive is a small price to pay for that, but let it be known that I do not like it!"
Amadeus grumbeled.

He gave Adley a small smile, then turned his attention back on the vampires, "We should not linger long here; there are still spirits of unknown inclination in the Labyrinth, some are more likely than others to be malevolent."

The two vampires nodded their agreement to that and came along.
"Yeah some of those spirits, msot of whom can not really be seen are scary as fuck!"
The man muttered sourly.

He nodded, "It has its advantages, but I fear I won't feel clean again for some time."

"Yeah...it really feels like passing through road kill."
The woman complained.

He paused for a moment, "I am not entirely unfamiliar with your torpor, I have, well... I made a mistake I am trying to make amends for. It takes time. But vampire blood accelerating the process, hmm... As a hypothetical, would a thin-blooded vampire be able to help without this risk of blood bonding?"

"I don't know, I have never met a thin blood, not one weak enough to not cause blood bonds though. It is possible their blood is mroe potent than that of mortals, but I doubt it will streight up wake someone from torpor the way the blood of elders will."
The woman said with a shrug.
"I mean if you have accsess to a thin blood you could always try, I doubt it would do any harm."

He patted the wall by the eyeball, "Alright, buddy... back to the entrance with all four of us, please."

You felt that the Labyrinth did not really like to trnasport the vampires much but even so he did and soon you, Adey and the two vampires was back in the marble room, where the two undead got a few glanced and a few of the mages put their hands on their foci and or weapons, though no one made a move assuming that you would not have brought them if the situation was not under control. You saw Mr Amelie on the floor a fist sized hole burned through his midsection and another hole through his chest, he was quite unconcious.

Anna came bouncing over to Colin.
"Hi dad."
