Autumns Ghost Banishing 240411

On a hauntingly misty afternoon at Arkwright Cemetery, Carmine and Autumn find themselves confronted by three spectral entities, each garbed in a nightmarish fusion of ballroom and pirate attire, wielding weapons ranging from flintlock pistols to sharp knives. As the eerie melody of a piano fills the air, Autumn is quickly targeted by the ghosts, one of them managing to stab her from behind. Despite her pain, Autumn attempts to chant a spell to banish the ghosts, her dedication unwavering even as the situation intensifies with the other ghosts joining the assault. Carmine, albeit less inclined towards the arcane, tries to aid with a polymer handgun, but quickly realizes its ineffectiveness against their incorporeal foes.

The skirmish escalates as one ghost repeatedly stabs Autumn, another slices at her with a cutlass, and a third sifts through her pockets, symbolizing their relentless harassment and Autumn's desperation to end their torment. Despite Carmine's suggestion of using blood for a ritual, Autumn declines, focusing solely on her chants and her will to drive the spirits away. The confrontation reaches its peak under a barrage of spectral bullets from Miss Flintlock, forcing Autumn and Carmine to take cover. Bruised and driven to her limit, Autumn gathers all her strength and, with a surge of magic from her glowing bracelet, finally commands the relentless ghosts to leave the mortal world. The story concludes with Carmine stepping back, effectively leaving the resolution in Autumn's capable but battered hands.
(Autumn's ghost banishing)

[Wed Apr 10 2024]

On the Sprawling Hillside of Arkwright Cemetery

It is afternoon, about 63F(17C) degrees, and the sky is partly covered by dark grey stormclouds. Ankle high mist flows through the area.

A haunting piano melody suddenly creeps over the graveyard as one by one, three spectral forms raise up into sight. Each is somewhat decayed and dressed in a mix of ballroom gown and old pirate garb, one wields a pair of flintlock pistols, another a wicked cutlass and the third a pair of sharp looking knives.

"For fucks sake." Carmine says when the ghost appear, she reaches into her inner coat pocket to grab a flask, uncap it and take a swing of it for either confidence or to blunt the irritation and then she stows the drink away. "I am not inclined the arcane arts."

"...Well damn," Autumn curses when the melody echoes through the mist. "Time to deal with them... again." Sensing the ghosts, Autumn lifts her hands to chant with her hand bracelet beginning to glow.

The double knife weilder appears suddenly behind Autumn, cackling right in her ear before rearing back to stab her in the back.


"Ow!" Autumn yelps in pain upon getting backstabbled by the knife wielder. There is another curse under her breath before she resumes chanting.

Carmine retrieves a polymer handgun from her bag and after clicking it on it gives a soft hum. "I doubt this works for this case, but it's worth a shot."

The cutlass-wielder attacks Autumn, driving her back as the flintlock lady appears behind her, using the distraction to go through her pockets.


Carmine is on watch for the next appearance of a ghost and the second the flintlock lady appears to points her polymer gun at it and pulls the trigger. The dark passes harmlessly through the incorporal being though the ghost does decide to disappear for a moment as it's disrupted by the physical option passing through. "I really do need to get salt bullets."

"I do not know why these three spirits always come back after several banishings," Autumn murmurs while she channels her magic onto the spectral trio. "Perhaps there is some sour-Ow!" She bellows when she is attacked once more and staggers until she catches Miss Flintlock pickpocking her. "Hey! Get your own!" She calls out at the ghost as a ball gag flies out of her pocket. With a clench of her fists, she grabs it back as the warm glow pulses.

The double knife weilder appears suddenly behind Autumn, cackling right in her ear before rearing back to stab her in the back.


Autumn flinches upon getting stabbed again by Two-Knives. "What is with these ghosts?" She croaks, tensing up and going into a guarding stand. "They seem too attractive to me..."

"They don't like an old hag like me." Carmine comments dryly as she stuffs the polymer handgun away. It wasn't all that useful to the situation. Next she draws a switch blade and ask Autumn, "Blood any use to what your doing?"

The cutlass-wielder attacks Autumn, driving her back as the flintlock lady appears behind her, using the distraction to go through her pockets.


"Never used blood before," Autumn shakes her head towards Carmine. "I have yet to learn how to properly use hexes. But I can channel my magic and willpower- Ack!" The assault from Lady Cutlass causes the dusky woman to rear back and fall to her knees, and Autumn uses her other hand to bat away Miss Flintlock while her chants grow harsher.

Carmine pulls back her hand and comments, "Well it'll be nice not to slice my palm this time." as the assault goes on, mostly against Autumn. The dark haired woman seems to show minimal concern for her companion

The flintlock wielder unleashes a stream of spectral bullets, somehow not needing to reload as the group is forces to drop to the ground to avoid getting struck.


With Miss Flintlock making it rain bullets, Autumn turns to crawl towards a nearby gravestone to take cover, gritting her teeth while the bullets graze her. "You have stayed in this world for too long, foul ghosts." she seethes in pain. "Begone from this world!"

The double knife weilder appears suddenly behind Autumn, cackling right in her ear before rearing back to stab her in the back.


Just as she takes cover from the bullet storm, Two Knives appears behind Autumn again and stabs her back. Suppressing a scream, Autumn clenches her hands and the magic from her bracelet sends out a glow that surrounds the ghosts. "Get out of this world!"

Carmine has no finisher or trick to pull out at the end to try and make these ghost go away, she ends up leaving that to Autumn
