Solomons Nightmare Battle With Ryan 240410


(Solomon's nightmare battle with Ryan)

[Tue Apr 9 2024]

In A Large, Well Appointed Bedroom
Easily one of the largest rooms in the apartment, this master bedroom has been decked out in all the comforts one could need. On the eastern wall is a king-sized bed piled high with a mix of white and silver bedding. Decorative throw pillows are heaped high against the dark oak headboard and a wispy, sheer set of curtains hangs from the four poster canopy bed's top rails. At the foot of the bed and facing the western wall is a two person love seat. The floors, most of which are covered by a mix of blue and silver rugs, are grey stained oak. There's a conspicuous lack of natural light here, a section of the wall that formerly overlooked the street now bricked up entirely. Finishing out the area is a fireplace that dominates most of the north side of the room. A pair of chairs, high backed and silver-upholstered, face that focal point.

It is about 55F(12C) degrees.

"And who is this?" Solomon wonders.

Ryan says "I am Ryan Harris, who is this?"
Solomon says "Mr. Harris, it's good to see you. It is Solomon Inigo."
Ryan says "Why do you attack me in my home? I am cooking dinner. I have no quarrel with you."
Ryan says "I'm warning you, I don't want to have to shoot you, my dude."
Ryan says "We have castle doctrine or something in this state."
Selina looks around for a moment and says, "This is new." She looks over at Solomon and says, "I suppose I'm on your side for this then. If so, tell Legion to get out of Meri."

Solomon says "I was drawn here without weapons at all, Mr. Harris -- but this is perhaps the price of your foolishness earlier."
Harriet squints over at Ryan.

Ryan says "Foolishness? I'm trying to not have The Hunters hunt supernaturals? That doesn't seem foolish, bud."
Solomon turns to Selina. "I don't have any control over those I serve," he says. "But if she abandons her efforts to destroy those I represent?" A pause. "I am sure they will stop bothering her."

Alexander says "Somehow I don't think I'll be able to wield the power of nature here."
"We're allies. You hampering my people is hampering your own cause, so," Selina says, trailing off in anticipation of a fight getting ready to start.

"The lack of weapons may prove to be unfortunate," Solomon shares with Selina. "Though I still have some..." A smile. "Tricks."

Harriet lifts her naturally arched brows as she listens.

"Meridith is my enemy," Solomon tells Selina. "She could be my ally. I offered it to her."

Alexander says "I've got a few, could use more"
Solomon comments, "The lack of weapons may prove unfortunate, though."

"She fights on the side of the Covenant, which is your ally," Selina points out to Solomon, rolling one shoulder and readying her bow and rapier.

"Does she? She's attacked me many times," Solomon tells Selina.

Solomon shakes his head. "I've never seen her fight by my side, not once. She's tried to hunt me in my home."

Ryan says "Meridith is kind of a dick sometimes!"
Harriet listens with the utmost curiosity to the gossip that is being shared.

"I have aided you. Would not that suggest some form of reciprocation?" Selina asks before the comment about Meri being a dick filters through the darkness. "I can't disagree with that," she allows from behind her gas mask.

There's some gesture, Solomon chanting, low. "I am happy to help you," he says. "I don't engage terribly often in operations, though one of mine went to aid you today, I think. My fights are -- on the whole -- those with blood and steel. But if you'll assist me in raiding those who oppose me, I'll release Meridith to you if you leave me with Hull and Matheson to do with as I WISH."

Solomon coughs. "As I wish."

Solomon says "But my work concerns often the real world. Still -- the fight is soon to be joined. It will be... more difficult, with my arms and armor away."
Solomon offers a charnel smile. "But not impossible."

Alexander checks his rifle, humming quietly

Raising up his rifle, Ryan moves towards, Solomon and shoots him, missing him at such a range as he says, "No solicitors! This is my house, my dude!"

"The Templar likes to use toxic attacks. You should carry a gas mask," Selina points out to Solomon helpfully before staring hard at the darkness, prepared to start. "I'll help here if you and Legion just leave Meri alone until Lusaka is secured," she offers to Solomon as her final point of negotiation before the wall falls and the battle is joined.

Alexander says "She's gonna take me down in seconds, sorry!"
Alexander says "I'll lead 'em to range!"
Ryan says "Holy shit! Who's the goat man!?"
Alexander says "Solomon! "
"I told you even without weapons, I am not defenseless," Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) rumbles as he moves for Alexander.

Alexander fades out of the nightmare.

"Sorry, Harry. Legion's in Meri right now," Selina mentions to Harriet as she moves to dispatch the next person on her list.

Ryan says "I'll protect Miss Harry."
Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) says "I don't have control over those I serve. Do you control your dragon?"
Harriet narrows her eyes at Selina and she asks, "Why are you apologising for that?"

Ryan says "I'll soften him up for you!"
"It's the whole reason I came," Selina says to Harriet as she closes distance with Ryan. "I do not control Shemra, but if I asked her to stop, she might," she insistes toward Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur).

Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) says "I can make some prayer. But if you wonder who has cursed her with illness, it is me, not those I serve."
Ryan fades out of the nightmare.

Harriet listens to this news, and then she nods to Selina in understanding.

Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) says "She swore to kill me. She is seeking a way to break Sanctuary to do it."
Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) says "If she swears off that quest? We can parlay."
"She says a lot of things she can't actually do," Selina says as she moves to engage with Harriet, despite being teamed up with Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur). "Did you maintain the ritual, or will it fade naturally?" she asks of Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur).

Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) says "It will fade."
Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) says "I will fade shortly, I think."
Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) says "But you will win."
Harriet fights along, outnumbered three to one, but she's still keeping on keeping on.

Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) says "And the trio of them can probably do it, if they put their minds to it."
"Do you really think Meri is the lynch pin there?" Selina asks Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) a little incredulously from behind her gas mask as she steps in front of the goat to block Harriet from taking him out.

Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) says "Matheson is, of course."
Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) says "But all of them oppose me."
Ryan says "They overwhelmed me, Solomon, that one lady, and his hellhound."
Harriet winces a little, looking between the talking Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) at the lady with the gas-mask.

Ryan says "The masked lady?"
Harriet is so very weakened right now, but here she is, trying so very hard to swing that warhammer.

Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) says "Alas, without armor shifting to use my magic is too dangerous."
"You fight with spirit, and I acknowledge and admire that," Selina says to Harriet as she fights on, between her and Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) to try to keep the goat from falling just yet.

Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) says "Fairfax is one of the bravest I know."
Solomon(monstrous fusion of man and goat with black fur) nods to Harriet, all terrifying black goat as he does.

Harriet fades out of the nightmare.
