The Cobblestone Corner of St. Brendan’s Crossing
It is night, about 37F(2C) degrees, and the sky is covered by dark grey stormclouds. The mist is heaviest At Autumn and Blackstone/span
There is a waxing crescent moon.
After receiving reports of more commotion, this time in All Saints, Selene races to the location of today’s trouble on the back of a custom-built chopper. And right upon arrival it becomes evident what she will be in for; It’s the Legion trying to secure some stolen loot, with some of their troops sighted crossing the street with weapons drawn. She unholsters her handgun, flicks off its security, and puts a free hand to her ear. Some quick instructions are barked into an earpiece, and then the lass begins to advance, head on a swivel as she surveys the streets for cover, for trouble, for bystanders, and for allies.
Selene charges toward corner.
Lieutenant Liliane tilts his head and exhales a low, hollow tone that ripples outward through the air like a psychic tremor, washing over Selene and her nearby allies in a wave of smeared, unraveling sound.
Selene staggers as her senses betray her, distances bleeding and warping beyond recognition as Lieutenant Liliane’s Lullaby of the Hollow Dark unravels every instinct she once trusted.

Selene retreats from corner.
Out of cover runs the little lone Kingpin, who quickly blasts a volley of shots at the distant Legionaires. While they may initially laugh at this attempt, when they peek out of cover they see something that worries them.

With the cavalry charging straight past her and at the Legion’s ilk, Selene rises up from cover to continue cheering them on vocally, while shooting rounds at their cover until nothing’s left for them to hide behind. And you know what that means – Without cover nearby, they’re due to charge, and this has the Kingpin send a shrill whistle across the battlefield. A call to join her, with all Sons redirecting their advance to join her near the mailboxes and toppled-over fending machines.

Selene has Warding Lantern.
And that’s a wrap. The Lieutenant and their soldiers put up a brave fight, but the sheer surprise of this cavalry charge, the positive leadership of the Kingpin, and the numbers game did not grant them many advantages in this battle. With the last fallen, Selene gestures for the Olympians to follow along, and they move straight for exfil from here.
Selene runs towards the extraction point.
Selene has successfully got away with Warding Lantern.
