Event 3: The Corrupted Hero

[letsplayamod]

Another week of Typhon's threats and promises. At some point, they really should start falling on deaf ears, wouldn't you think?

But, on this balmy Wednesday morning, there's another far more alarming sound coming from the lowest levels of the temple: someone screaming.

[That's. Not a good sound! Ranma races into action nyooming down to the screaming!]

Crap crap-!

[Don't tell him there's already been-]

[markofnobility]

[Ferdinand snatches up his shield and spear in case this is about to be a fight and runs for the lifts]

[pariunt]

[Well, that's one way to get Astarion to immediately leap to action.]

[yourheroine]

[Screaming? In the temple that might have the center of the universe? Aoi is there!

Though she does knock on several doors because if something is up she's not gonna be able to do much alone.]

Let's go check it out.

[stringup]

[ Suddenly Velvet finds herself wishing she had finished the doll sooner.

Nonetheless, her unfit self is running down there. ]

[latinumsbetter]

[WELL THATS SURE A THING he can hear that loud and clear, almost wincing. He doesn't exactly rush ahead, but he's not exactly staying behind either]

[sweetsynergy]

[Well that's probably fine.]

[...yeah she's heading down too.]

If Omega fucked up this soon I'm going to be real disappointed.

[murchada]

[hey girl, she'll. go ahead and come with. how can she not?]

...Mm. Just do me a favor and stick close, okay, Aoi?

[fillets]

[ She's headed down there, but only after changing clothes! What's going on, folks? ]

[letsplayamod]

[What a shame, it appears to be coming in the direction of the bar.]

[eeeonetwothree]

[ Omega is out on the outer edges of the island, patrolling, when he detects the scream, and begins rocketing towards the sound immediately. ]

[yourheroine]

Ok! Aoi will stay within five feet of Cerejeira at all times!

[taintedfayth]

[For once, Seymour is actually armed, though it's not like he really needs it.

He's just going to be following the vanguard down because this sure sounds like a situation that is going to need healing, firepower, or potentially both.]

[eeeonetwothree]

[ I hope you didn't want Omega to keep that ban going, Quark, because Omega is immediately zooming down to the bar once he's back inside the building. ]

[murchada]

[within a square on the grid, perfect!]

Good.

Now let's go see what the hell it is this time...

[fillets]

You don't need to be told this, but stay b—

[ and omega just kind of nyooms by! ]

Well, then.

[catsgothistongue]

[It's fine, Ranma's rushing in right behind Omega into the bar! Don't tell them they're too late please!]

[latinumsbetter]

[You know what? He'll make an exception this time. But he is hollering at everyone else:]

They're in the bar!

[brokenhabit]

[ Oh hey gang ]

I'll come with you too...!

[ girl squad let's go-- ]

[yourheroine]

[On her way, boss!]

[letsplayamod]

[From the sounds of it, there's some sort of commotion happening inside, but that's not going to be what first happens here.

Because, outside the bar, there's a figure, standing still, reeling back in frozen fear. It's like a statue. No, it is a statue, but it certainly wasn't here before.

And it certainly looks like Laurie Strode.]

[markofnobility]

Right, stay back.

[Ferdinand doesn't charge in, instead guarding over the non combatants while Omega and Ranma secure the bar]

[yourheroine]

Boop boop! Buddy system!

[LET'S GO GIRL SQUAD]

[catsgothistongue]

[!!!

That girl... He hadn't seen her in forever and yet--]

Laurie?

[You good gurl? Ranma's eyes scan around the room, looking for whatever scaring her witless.]

[fillets]

[ any aura remaining on the statue or....... ]
