Freeing the Bird

[piwakawaka]

The shortcut through the Dreaming leaves them close to many warehouses and the water in Kaiwharawhara but only one has a palpable feel of magic and about ten young men simply hanging about.

As everyone starts to appear, a few of the men pull out various objects to focus as the magic grows in the air as the others who are a bit too pale just grin.

Teams: 1-Alex, Aiden, the Baron, Hamlet
2-Carl, Ben, James, Peron

Starting things off again and I'm just going to do the James' thread later and make it work.

The ghoul doesn't have the skill of Hamlet but he keeps pushing, trying to get him away from the warehouse and towards one of the cars.

Try as the ghoul might, Hamlet, if not making progress, will stand his ground.

Re: First Team

[piwakawaka]

Finally he yells and punches towards Hamlet's face.

It catches the prince offguard, and he drops like a stone - it'll be a few moments before his senses allow him to get back to his feet.

Which causes the ghoul to laugh and hoist him onto his shoulders, his master will like another one to feed on.

... Unfortunately for the ghoul, Hamlet is still carrying his rapier.

As it happens, the prince has no intention of becoming lunch.

Re: First Team

[piwakawaka]

The rapier slips into the ghoul's torso and he yells and squeezes Hamlet,

"He will feast."

Re: First Team

Hamlet yells in protest, still thrusting the rapier at the ghoul, a task which is not extremely hard to complete given their proximity.

Re: First Team

All the blood loss is starting to hurt and the ghoul yells and tries to slam Hamlet on the ground.

Re: First Team

The prince takes the opportunity to get both feet back on the ground, immediately jabbing at the ghoul's arms in an attempt to free himself.

Re: First Team

So the ghoul simply grabs tighter as he struggles towards the door, he will show his master what he can do.

Re: First Team

And in response? Hamlet drops the rapier, pulls a knife from his belt, and stabs at the ghoul's arms.

Re: First Team

[piwakawaka]

And the ghoul tries to bite him and punch him. Then the ground trembles and shakes as there's a BOOM. In confusion the ghoul lets go of Hamlet and turns to try and get inside to where his master is.

Re: First Team

[piwakawaka]

His master is very irritated that his guard has turned tail, this shows in the way he lashes out and strikes him.

Re: First Team

[the-rest-is.livejournal.com]

Hamlet falls to the ground, back on his feet almost at once.

He follows the ghoul, picking his rapier up off the ground.

Re: First Team

[piwakawaka]

The ghoul is at this point trying to get away from his master who is luckily diverted by Alex on his back. This leaves the way clear for Hamlet to get the unsuspecting ghoul.
