The Strangled Lantern Alleyway
It is noon, about 76F(24C) degrees, and the sky is covered by dark grey stormclouds. The mist is heaviest At Autumn and Darkwater/span
Lieutenant Andracen spreads his oil-black wings wide, and a low, resonant shriek tears from his throat , a sound that doesn’t just pierce the ears of Remy and her allies, but claws straight into their minds.
Remy runs towards the objective.
The supernatural discord of Lieutenant Andracen’s shriek shatters Remy’s sense of friend and foe alike, leaving her reeling and striking out blindly at whoever stands nearest.

Remy runs towards the objective.
Arriving on fast response, Selene shows up to the darkened alleyways where today’s intel suggests a second round of conflict is due. And there it is, indeed; The Legion’s ilk are found, searching the area for pilfered valuables from Ivory Quarter’s ancient treasuries and reserves.
Someone continues gathering power.
Selene charges toward fire-escape.

Sighting assistance, Selene books it through the alleys, gun in hand. “.. No time like the present, huh.” she hollers over, spotting work on the safe already commencing.
Selene runs towards the objective.
Remy gets out her knife to start trying to pry at the back of the safe. It may not be the best way, but she starts trying to get the back panel loose enough to get into it. “Hey,” she greets to the other woman as she goes.
“Allegiances?” comes the inquiry from Selene, closing the distance to where Remy is hunkering down and doing some safe-cracking. She pats her hip, where several simple IEDs dangle from a tactical belt. “Need a hand opening that up?”
Remy says “We’re against the Sixty Third… And so far, so good.“
Remy continues working on the safe.
Selene runs towards the objective.
“That I know. Beat them back earlier this morning, already.” Selene reports, with a hint of pride present. “.. wondering who you fight for.”

Remy ends up blind and sighs, shaking her head to try to clear her vision. “I’m not sure it matters,” she grumbles as she continues to pry at the safe. “They may just rush us soon,” she says with a sigh as another impact occurs near her.
Lieutenant Andracen rolls his shoulders back, his massive black wings snapping open to their full terrible span as he locks his smoldering amber gaze onto Remy with cold, executioner’s calm.
Remy continues working on the safe.
With a single devastating downstroke, Lieutenant Andracen sends a cyclone of razor-edged obsidian feathers tearing into Remy, the cursed ichor seeping from her wounds refusing to clot as an infernal weight settles over her, sapping the strength from her every limb.
“They will, the second that safe opens.” Selene announces, worry evident by the tone and look she’s casting northwards. Watchful is one way to describe it, but there’s cautious concern. “.. We at least have some cover we could reach, after.”
“Though it might be within range of their rifles..” continues Selene, continuing to (try and) assess the peculiar battlefield these alleys present. That draws in a sharp breath, and has her checking her pistol’s magazine to ensure it’s properly loaded for what is surely to come sooner, rather than later.
“If I can even make it there. Under fire, that’ll be a stretch,” Remy notes, finally getting a hold on the back panel try try to open it with her fingers. “I don’t stand up well to focus fire,” she explains with a strained grunt of effort to get the thing open.
Cracks open the safe.
“We could try rush the doorway behind us. Buy some time..” Selene suggests, agreeing with the statement of Remy. “Neither do I, really.”
Selene says “Let’s head south. There’s a doorway there.“
Remy has Annotated Grimoire.
Remy says “Alright! “
Selene charges toward doorway.
Selene gets into cover behind the doorway.
Lieutenant Andracen spreads his oil-black wings wide, and a low, resonant shriek tears from his throat , a sound that doesn’t just pierce the ears of Remy and her allies, but claws straight into their minds.
42Drawing in a deep breath,46 Selene42 readies into a Chapman stance and lines her handgun’s iron sights up with52 The 63rd Legion Haemomancer42.
Selene says “Incoming! Run, girl!/i>/iSomeone continues gathering power.

Someone continues gathering power.
“Focusing their mancer, first.” Selene/i>/iSelene, baby-blues catching some action happening further down the shadowy alleys.
Remy starts throwing knives and directing the Hollow forces where she can. “This is gonna get rough,” she says with a nod to Selene.
“Rough’s better than vanilla.” notes Selene under a breath, chuckling at.. something. “.. I’d be suspicious if it’d go along swimmingly. Let’s be glad the sewer water isn’t up to our knees anymore.”
42Putting52 a soldier of the 63rd42 in her sights,46 Selene42 sends a round their way with smoke and noise bursting from her handgun’s vents. It misses him.

Selene says “Being.. tricked.. Can’t get a solid aim.“
Selene says “Careful! “
With a single devastating downstroke, Lieutenant Andracen sends a cyclone of razor-edged obsidian feathers tearing into The Hollow Conclave Haemomancer, the cursed ichor seeping from his wounds refusing to clot as an infernal weight settles over him, sapping the strength from his every limb.
Selene says “They’re.. mancing away..“
Remy says “Sorry! “
Selene says “All good.. Happened to me, before.“
Remy throws a small knife end over end at Lieutenant Andracen, it sparks off the ground near his feet.

“Someone’s in for a shanking..” Selene/i>/iDefinitely gonna be rough… Brace for impact.“
“Those reinforcements couldn’t have come sooner.. Was wondering if it were yours or mine who’d join us here…” Selene remarks next, quickly sheathing her pistol in a thigh-strapped holster. Deftly, a switchblade is flipped into sight, and she nods. Posture shifting, the little thing is bracing for impact..
Remy says “Mine. “
“Yours bleed, today. So I’ll do my best to secure the item for your group.. If you fall, and I retreat.. Reach out. I’ll hand it over. Fairefield needs the help.” Selene quickly offers before chaos ensues..

Remy runs towards the extraction point.
“Hah!” hollers Selene, as down the last of the Legion’s forces fall. A nod at Remy, and off the Kingpin goes, moving in line with today’s second serving of some fat loot.
Selene charges toward Remy.
With the chaos ended, Remy makes for the extraction point all the way back where she started. She motions the reinforcements to come with her, and while she is slower, she tries to go as fast as she can.
Selene says “Saw a remnant soldier. Shouldn’t pose an issue.“
Selene says “West of us.“

Remy manages to get to the site, and she rests on a nearby surface to catch her breath without putting away the objective. “Well done, and hopefully, we can see each other again soon to celebrate,” she calls out once she can breath.
“I’m always around.” Selene notes, having dealt with the last soldier and back on her way to exfil. “.. Fairefield’s polls should be swayed plenty by this. I made a severe blow on them in All Saints with the earlier beat-down.”
Selene moves protectively towards Remy.
Selene says “Watch how one lone commando will show up JUST as we withdraw.. Always seems to happen, for me at least.“
“I think the returns are slated for elsewhere,” Remy explains, but rolls her shoulder nonetheless. “I told them to come to me, but they won’t listen now,” she says, motioning to the reinforcements.
Remy says “Oh, they came with you.“
Remy says “I am just blind.“
“All good. I’m not one to meddle in Hollow business.” Selene shares, before nodding once. “Had them meet up with you. A single soldier I can shank, no probs.”
Remy waits for the extraction and tells Selene, “Find me on Myhaven.”
Selene says “See. There’s always one.“
Remy says “He won’t make it in time.“
Selene points westwards. “Think I sent you a request, long ago. Can check. I matched just about every account I could find a few times now, just for the heck of it.”
Remy and Selene have successfully got away with Annotated Grimoire.
