(Jakem’s Anti Legion Hunting Party!)
[Mon Dec 15 2025]
At Hawthorn and Sycamore
It is night, about 15F(-9C) degrees, and there are a few wispy white clouds in the sky. The mist is heaviest At Hawthorn and Oakwood
There is a waning crescent moon.
Buck looks at Mercy, “Do you need a ride to get your crossbow and back?”
Jakem nods to Buck “Shit, shoulda got a portable for you to watch while we do the slaying.”
Buck chuckles as he looks around, “You’ve got plenty of folks here to do well.”
Avalon hops off his horse, only to point a finger at Mercy and telling her “My ring”
Buck nods to Jakem, “Got a few other plans tonight, but I’ll keep it in mind.” he looks to Mercy, “You got an address?”
Mercy sags into the passenger seat with a huff.
Avalon shakes his head a couple times before telling Mercy “Why the obsession with that store anyways?”
Jakem says “You folks are on your way right?“
Jakem says “If Matthew’s still changing clothes, just throw a parka over his naked ass.“
Jakem says “That’s quite a walk, where you at now? Stop 164.“
Jakem waves to Conrad, calling out “Ahoy, over here!”
Esme looks to Conrad, “Are you woefully unprepared?”
Conrad puts down his gps, “Woefully, most likely. I have a baseball bat though.”
Esme snorts, “Yeah, if you need a vest, I can give you the one Jakem gave me.”
Esme waves to Matthew
“Well, how deep in are we planning to go?” Avalon asks with a tilt of his head “And who are we following? That person should be the one taking the hits”
Conrad says “I do not have any armor or protection, so that would be appreciated!“
Matthew climbs out of his car, offering a wave to the group. “Yo,” the guy greets, “just so you all know, I’m mostly here to make us look good, cus…” he’s shaking his head, “all I got is this knife and a piss poor aim.” A pause and then he glances towards Conrad, “Yo, you the new Rothwell in town?”
Esme hands over the vest to Conrad “Esme, good to meet ya.”
“Thanks” Conrad says as he puts on the vest. “I’ll need need an introduction at some point. And yes, I’m the new Rothwell in town. Hey, Esme.”
Jakem nods to Conrad “Good to meet you, name’s Jakem. Usually. You’ll be following me.”
Matthew flashes a smile, “Great, good to meet you, I’m Matthew Montrose.”
Jakem says “Yup, we’re waiting for Mercy cause she wanted to smell good for this.“
Avalon checks his phone for a moment before telling “The center is at Foxglove and Oakwood, so likely the first signs of wreathed mist… Shouldn’t be too bad” He tells after Jakem, commenting “You are taking the hits then”
Jakem says “Yup, 164.“
Matthew then upnods Avalon, “Yo, glad you’re here to keep this boat straight.”
Esme nods, mental notes of remembering made!
Jakem says “What’s with everyone walking today? Mechanics on strike or something?“
Esme says “Maybe all their cars are snowed in“
Jakem says “Stubborn or poor?“
“Already managed to duck four points from the Legion in any case, this whole trip shouldn’t need to be too popular to offset them” Avalon comments with a shrug of his shoulders, checking the weather report once more before adding “I probably don’t even need to get naked”
Matthew says “Take an Uber. “
Jakem says “Doesn’t she date the city’s only Uber?“
Buck waves, “Well, you all have fun with it. I’ve got some folks to catch up with.”
Matthew glances over at Mercy when she arrives, “Yo, your number one duty is keeping me safe, Peacekeeper.”
Esme says “See ya, Buck“
Jakem says “I’ve got some complaints about his service right now. I think my pizza’s free.“
Jakem says “You’re bringing us pizza right?“
Buck shoots Esme with finger guns, “You betcha. Oh, Pizza?”
Jakem says “Don’t worry, it’s free. Because you’re late.“
Jakem waves to Kaelyn “A’right, follow me. We need to get into Elysia soon as we can.”
Kaelyn snorts, shaking her head.
Kaelyn peeks in the bag doing a quick count before looking between Buck and Mercy, “Thank you, both.”
“All in a good day’s work.” Buck says with a grin and a tip of his hat.
Jakem turns and starts into the mist “A’right, we’re only going a little ways in. Oh, and if anyone starts cutting things up, it’ll attract monsters unless it’s me.”
Avalon shrugs “Well, so long as you’re not doing the same”
Mercy says “Rudolph..? “
When Mercy explains she’s injured Matthew doesn’t seem to cock that as an issue, instead he pulls out a sandwich, “YOu want some sandwich, I guess I can offer you some food in exchange…”
Jakem says “Oh, the mists moved again huh?“
Matthew says “Yeah, moved south. “
Avalon says “Well, west since we last checked“
Matthew charges after the little msuhroom man and begins tossing out his knife in its direction.
Jakem starts to whistle a tune “Who let the pigs out, uh.. uh.”
Jakem OOCly suggests everyone ‘butcher assist avalon’
“For the most part, I’m just watching the rest of you murder things.” Conrad says with a laugh.
Avalon says “Manticore “
Matthew has an endless supply of knives, it would seem, pulling them from his belt to throw at the Manticore.
Avalon says “These things shouldn’t be too worrysome, they’ll die before they get to use with so much firepower“
Jakem says “Oh see, that one almost got here.“
Conrad laughs.
Avalon doesn’t know if we want to butcher or not
Kaelyn says “Are we planning on moving much?“
Jakem bellows at pumpkin horror “You are out of season by two months.”
Matthew thinks Avalon should butcher
Jakem says “Looks like the kobold’s confused.“
Avalon says “I can go get it before we have to chase it further“
Matthew nods at Jakem, “Thanks.”
Jakem says “Can probably leave the last one to Avalon.“
“So…” Conrad ponders aloud, “Do they often fight each other in here?” Of course, he still has his bat in hand, ready just in case.
Jakem hmms to Conrad “Not sure what they do when we’re not around.”
Jakem says “We’ll go a little deeper in. Everyone follow me.“
Conrad says “jakem I don’t know just yet. And I don’t really think I’m earning it. After this, I’ll probably get a ranged weapon most likely.“
Jakem says “Feel free to help me out here?“
Matthew moves on in to help, the way he help isn’t to actually get his hands dirty, he more like points and recommends places where those more experienced than him should make cuts (usually incorrectly). “Good work, team!”
Jakem nods, looking over the strings “Oh man, these are terrible craftsmanship. Who taught the faeries in the Other how to make dolls?”
Jakem fires off into the mists as he criticizes the doll’s unknown creator.
“Oh, a willow, careful with these, they tend to be more resistant and all… And hit hard if they get you” Avalon says with a little yawn, before adding “But uh, I guess we have a wolf”
Kaelyn(wolf) shakes herself, a wet snort coming from the wolf as she pads around the group.
“I am trying to determine what’s durable enough not to be killed by fists… Do you think one of those willows would resist?” Avalon asks with a tilt of his head, though not looking at anyone in particular
Kaelyn huffs softly to herself.
Conrad says “Well, that was close!“
“Anyone else hungry… thirsty?” Matthew asks as he pulls out a huge sub and munches right on into it.
Jakem says “Oh, we can get some jewelry when we’re done out here.“
Jakem moves to the southern building and starts window shopping as the beasts approach.
Matthew proceeds to attack the creatures encroaching on their position casually, between bits of his sandwich and the occasional flick of his wrist that sends a knife sailing towards the weeping willow.
Esme is seemingly just locked in on shooting shit.
“You taking notes?” Matthew asks Conrad, like he might be some kind of expert on this process.
Jakem looks westwards “Lots of angry plants in this borough. Huh, good to know.”
Jakem says “Oh shit, the mist moved again. Guess we’re leaving the jewelry shop.“
Jakem says, calling eastwards, “Over here.“
Jakem says “Let’s get one more, and then head back.“
Jakem says “Let Conrad have a swing at it!“
Esme says “Hit the one with golden eyes!“
Jakem says, calling out, “Wrong animal! The dog.“
Jakem says “The wolves are on our side.“
Jakem says “There yah go.“
Conrad says “I was fighting a hound!“
Kaelyn(wolf) makes a grumbling sound as she twists about from friend and foe.
Jakem says “A’right, let’s get out of here.“
Conrad ahems, “Sorry about that.”
Kaelyn(wolf) chases after Conrad nipping at the coat and not the person.
Jakem says “Woo, looks like the mists went quite a ways.“
Jakem glances back at Conrad “Oh, your coat has some battle damage looks like.” he comments of the mysterious bite marks that apepared there.
Jakem gestures to the willow, looking to Esme “Will you do us the honor?”
Esme moves in with a nod, “Sure thing.”
Kaelyn tosses on the clothes she had been wearing before this adventure. Watching as her bag traveled about. A problem for later.
Conrad says “I guess I’ll just need to buy a new coat.“
Kaelyn says “It gives it character. Make you look tougher.“
Jakem nods to Conrad “Show off the damage, people will be impressed with your public spirit.”
Esme says “And you can make up a new story about how it happened every time“
Conrad arches a brow at all of this, then looks down at the tattered outerwear, “Still, it’s my own actual coat. I’ll need a good one for special occasions.”
Kaelyn nods along, “Exactly.” Her gaze flicks to Conrad and the bag he had been passed along. “But, uh, would I be able to get that bag back?”
Esme looks between Mercy and Kaelyn a moment and then grins to Kaelyn, “Guess not.”
Esme yanks the final bit of bark free and hands it over.
Jakem slaps his hands together to brush them off as he steps back from the corpse. “Well folks, thanks everyone for coming to our get out the mist campaign. I think we’ll call this a resounding success.”
Kaelyn chuckles shaking her head, “My fault for tossing it in the first place.”
Mercy says “Hope it made a difference.“
Conrad ahems again, “I’m afraid I didn’t get either of your names….” He does look just a touch sheepish.
Jakem says “It’s a real disability, and one we should have empathy and respect for.“
Kaelyn sticks out a hand as if she wasn’t the cause for the wardrobe issues, “Kaelyn.”
Esme laughs, stowing her bow away in her duffel bag that certainly shouldn’t fit one.
Conrad says “None of you will ever forget this, huh?“
Kaelyn says “It happens more times than you would think.“
Conrad lifts a finger, “Hey, Kaelyn.”
