The Destined Hosts Operation In Navorost
In the enigmatic city of Navorost, The Hand's forces were embroiled in a desperate struggle to complete an arcane ritual and strengthen their ties to the demons. As the ritual commenced at the city's central square, a flurry of activity unfolded with agents of The Hand positioning themselves to protect the ritual's completion. Among them, Jett, with a playful yet focused demeanor, brushed off the ire of his compatriot Tomas and raced towards the objective. Samantha, encumbered with her rifle, found herself an immediate target as a camo-clad figure emblazoned with demonic sigils tried to take aim at her. Undeterred, she charged corners, drawing runes to aid her cause, while arrows whizzed past and were deftly avoided. Each member of The Hand seemed caught in their personal battle whilst juggling the overarching mission of aiding Jett with the ritual.
The confrontation intensified as weapons clashed and allies, like Peyton and Yasmin, coordinated their actions. Samantha, wielding her tridents with precision, parried successive attacks from the demonic assailant. Peyton kept a careful eye on Samantha, knowing her to be a formidable adversary. Jett, with little affinity for the dark arts, ploughed through the ritual with the finesse of someone assembling furniture rather than summoning otherworldly forces. In the midst of the chaos, Tomas suggested Yasmin exploit her swiftness to aid remote rituals, heightening the pressure to succeed. The skirmishes continued, with the Hand members guiding one another and their demonic foes fading from the fray. Ultimately, Samantha lay in wait to take her shot at Tomas as the Hand finally emerged triumphant, their ritual concluded and their power with the demons assured.
At Tue Dec 5 2023, in the city of Navorost
Mission: Get to one of the three designated sites and continue performing a dark ritual until the process is complete.
The misplaced city of Navorost, shrouded by shadows and mystery, is the setting for an impending play of power. The Destined Host has identified a site of significant ley line intersection at the city's central square, a place where they can solidify their alliance with demons. The mission goal is to perform an arcane ritual, drawing power from the ley lines intersecting beneath the city. Protection of the ritualists is crucial as opponents are suspected to disrupt the operation. Success will bind more potent demons to the city, an essential step towards the end goal of the Destined Host.

Tomas says "Okay, move for the alleyway for now. Cover Jett."

"Peyton," Tomas says, pointing to Samantha. "She can match you for range, and she's put some practice in, so keep an eye on her." His eyes shift to a small, dark green baby crocodile, and he grunts, "That one's no threat until it gets close, and it can't get close without running into range of all of us, so Sam's the bigger threat for now."

"If you want to speed things up a little," Tomas murmurs over to Yasmin, "You should be able to go to one of the other capture points and join in with the rituals - you're fast enough to get there reasonably quickly. Your call, though - there's risk in goin' out alone."
Dark rituals really aren't Jett's thing, he is muttering beneath his breath though as he works through the motions. Alas, it sounds like someone reading the instruction manual for how to properly put together his new piece of Ikea furniture instead of someone savvy in the arcane arts.
