Mystic Troubleshooters: Agents of Z [IC Thread]

Clay, who’d stayed near the door with his pistol in one hand and his knife in the other just in case something decided to try and come in to stop the others from working on the circle, didn’t say much as the twin girls aired their thoughts about the next part of this fight being more physical.

He didn’t have a problem with that happening. In fact that was more to his liking if the truth were to be told, it was all this hocus-pocus, spell casting stuff that he didn’t care for. His biggest problem was he couldn’t ever recall of hearing anything about this father-of-the-Wendigo-spirit thing really.

“I got nothing on any kind of weakness it might have but maybe there’s something in that book?” The older man pointed to where Kilroy had dropped the book.

Expertise [Magic] Check: 1d20+10=14. I’m assuming that roll isn’t good enough for Clay to know anything about the spirit in question.

"Unfortunately, it doesn't have much in the way of details on any specific types of spirits," said Angela. "It's... well, it's sort of a 'Summoning and Binding Evil Spirits for Dummies' book."

"A reference for the rest of us," said Barbara, which caused her elder sister to facepalm again.

"ANYway," Angela continued, "Nothing specific about Wendigos, and we don't know much about them either. Not enough to contribute to what's already been gone over."

"Well, we've already beaten up the bad guy." Kilroy indicated the unconscious cultist. "We could try putting him in the circle but I don't think that will help us to close the portal. Absent any other ideas, I say we try it."

Without the aid of someone who has cracked the cipher, the book may as well be written in Sumerian for all Clay can understand it. He does get a vague sense that there is something wrong about the book. A sense of evil intent.

"I believe that to be an unwise venture," The angel says carefully, "The creature of which we fought was only a minor aspect of what could be released. We may be only offering another chance for it to escape its bonds should we act rashly."

Clay Jackson:

Clay regards the man Anteriael had carried in, he really wanted to question the him more in depth than they'd been able to a while ago but wondered if that would only be a repeat of the previous Q&A session. "I'll be honest here; I ain't gotta clue how to deal with this."

The older man looks around at everyone in the room. "Portals to other places is totally new to me, I normally just hack the monsters to pieces and move on."

As the group talks, the storm continues to grow in power. It seems to be getting colder in the room.

Kilroy shivered as he felt the cold getting worse. "Anyone else have the feeling we have about until that storm reaches full strength to get this business wrapped up?"

"Sucker bet. Portals are outside my area of expertise too - before coming to Zalman's office, I'd never even used one. Does anyone have any ideas?"

"As it stands we seem to have only four options," Anteriael considers the circle, "We place him in the circle, or we destroy the circle. We have no means in which to know what either will accomplish, which is far too dangerous in my humble opinion."

He looks to the man he holds, "We could attempt to wake this one and try to wrest more information from him about the circle, this place, or even where we might go to learn more."

"Or we can attempt to search the area again in the hopes that we might find something we missed the first time." Anteriael bows his head, "I am afraid those are the only viable options I can surmise. Much like Mister Jackson I am more suited to martial efforts and life choice philosphy than investigation or magical theories."

"I don't believe that one understood what he was doing enough to repeat the task, much less explain how to undo it." Kilroy shook his head at the thought.

"I agree. We must have missed something important. What have we got so far?"

Clay Jackson:

In answer to Kilroy’s question Clay produces the two silver pendants he’d found earlier from the pocket of his vest they’d stayed since he’d first found them, followed by the wavy bladed knife from his belt. “Found these; a kris styled knife I picked up and there was ‘bout maybe ten books in the building I checked out.”

As the wind howled louder and with growing strength, Clay looked at the others considering their situation. “It might be a good idea to give all the buildings another once over, and this time let’s use any tricks up our collective sleeves to try and find something we might have missed before.”

"Other than the book we already went over, all we found were a couple generic tomes; Spells and Charms for the Modern World, Ways of Magic, and Ye Olde Tome of the Lore. I... thought those books were harmless."

On hearing Clay's suggestion, Angela continued: "Yeah, rechecks are in order. You say there were books in your building, Clay? We'll give it a look; see if there's anything of use there."

"We found a ring." Kilroy looked in Samantha's direction. "It didn't seem all that important to me."

[Jalinth]

Since The_Watchman hasn't been on the ATT in a month, I'm going to NPC Sam for now.

"The ring looked like really bad news to me. I felt all cold and evil when I picked it up."
