[Lethe's got gloves on so there's no bare skin touching anything. SAFE (rip to everyone else tho)]

Ugh.

[activates his stealth so the wolf can't detect him, though it doesn't do anything for either of the other two people in the room with him. so he also grabs some of the Forever Scales and takes aim at the door, ready to chuck the lot of them at whatever wolf walks through]

[ rolled an 8, so whoops!!! Becomes An Adult Wolf.

but there's absolutely no time to worry about that, because he's immediately drawing his sword and holding it in his...in his furry paw. oh, this is so stupid. meanwhile, concentrates on the water outside!! will it bend to his will? because if so, he's definitely going to be controlling it to grab the wolf and trip it or even drag it underwater ]

[it will in fact bend to his will!

If he wants to will it. It seems like that pesky wolf brain is in Full Effect--someone outside will need to command him to Do The Thing if it means attacking proper.

the wolf meanwhile is vaguely distracted by the water like, was it just bubbling or. . .?]

[ well THAT'S A FRANTIC REACH OUT TO CHARON AND/OR SCARANKE

i need one of you to tell me i can use my power. there's kind of this wolf i wanna drown. ]

[tiredly pings the Lily Mental Group Chat(tm) as he watches a giant wolf go off in another room:

No drowning. Are we doing murder now? What happened to stealth? Let me kidnap one so we can nicely ask a few questions later.]

[Well, Charon said 'Kill it', so.

Cepheus will suddenly feel the urge to do just that.

Oh speaking of! The door is swinging wide open, a wolf in a mask and a suit, barking out a surprise]

What the--who the hell are you?!

[CHARON DO NOT ORDER THE TEENAGERS TO MURDER INDISCRIMINATELY THAT GIVES THEM TRAUMA oh for the love of--

fires a single shot of his mana gun at the wolf to kind of propel him back a step and then lets Cepheus take care of the rest]

[ luckily, there is nothing he wants to do more right now than kill a wolf.

so he is going to be reaching for the river once again to grab it and drag it under until it drowns. ]

[jeezus

well he's. he's dead. the mask eventually floats to the top and floats away,,,

DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN YA DID IT!!1

You can move forward if mission control says so!]

[vividly imagines giving Charon a noogie]

Stealth. Stealth. Why did we even bother with stealth if we were just going to come in guns blazing...

[Charon, Ananke, Scarab, please direct us to the next room and let us pick up the mask on the way.]

[ well, that felt,,,

actually we are simply not going to engage with how that felt at all. possibly ever! good thing there are new instructions to follow and stuff to steal.

breathes out, puts up his sword, and...going to go back and grab some antlers, actually. why not. who is going to stop them at this rate. ]

[ WHO INDEED

Kevin has been quiet and present this whole time. maybe hyperventilating. and. assuming the orders align, he is taking that damn mask. ]

[He's able to fish the mask out the water yes! And they move on.

However, there is one last wolf sniffing about in front of the room they're heading to, and it immediately zeros in on them, seeing the mask they're holding]

Y--you! Agents of the Wolf King?! Stand down!!

[throws his handful of Forever Scales directly at the guy, no hesitation]

Edited 2024-06-23 21:10 (UTC)

[ we're standing by braced with the water powers to step in if need be ]

[......dodges the scales like, HE'S NOT JUST GONNA STAND THERE. He then looks HORRIFIED LIKE ARE YOU JUST CHUCKING HOLY ARTIFACTS??? MY GUY]

Who the hell are you. . .!

[he takes in a breath

and then blows.

They weren't around when Ceo demonstrated this ability, though it's not nearly as strong as his. The wind he produces is still strong enough to knock them off their feet if they aren't expecting it tho.]

[ Kevin was NOT fully expecting that - he winds up teetering and staggering back - but that frankly makes him madder about it.

He plants his feet stubbornly, summoning up shadows around him in what he hopes is a very intimidating way. ]

Back off.

[ distraction go?? ]

Ugh! At least wait for an answer before being rude to your guests!

[welp he wasn't expecting that blow-your-house-down move so DOWN HE GOES!! though he just kind of does a backwards roll and pops back onto his feet, albeit wobbly

Someone want to run distraction so we can try that again? Do we need orders for this?]

[ FALLIN OVER, yeah, though he rolls back to his feet as well

it's more annoying if we need orders, so we probably do ]

[well the rest of your guys are comin' in, and you get marching orders at a fast clip as they take in the situatio-- oh FUCK Kevin please don't fall into the Wolf King

Grab Kevin if those shadows go awry! If not all but Lethe distract and restrain the wolf; Lethe, try again with the scales when you see a good moment!

he himself is gonna try to grab the back of Kevin's shirt and drag him from the shadows if need be]

[ Scaranke rounds the corner and waits just long enough for Charon to get his orders out. Follows up with another command—

Close your eyes for 1 second..

They'd better listen, because his fist is flaring with a bright light that quickly intensifies until it's blinding, aiming to harmlessly disorient the wolf to buy them time for another attempt ]

[jeezus

Well while you're regrouping security wolf just pulls out a gun. BOY HOWDY ARE YOU LUCKY SCARANKE JUST CAME BY

The flash immediately throws off his aim with a howl, but he does get two blind shots out, so like, look out for those!.]

[ SCRUFFED BY CHARON

also the light ruins his shadow magic so that works out better for everyone ]

-- Hey!

[while the wolf is distracted by Scaranke's flash and demigod distractions, Lethe transforms into a cat and zips past the wolf, turns back into a furry (gloves on! no touching Forever Scales directly, we've learned this from Cepheus) and slaps some scales right onto the back of the wolf's head]

[ meanwhile we're going to raise a brief wall of water to try to catch/absorb those stray shots before they hiT anyone ]
