...I think Ananke's right. Maybe we should come back after the last room.

...

All right. But. After that I wanna break something so bad.

What happened to stealth...

I'd like to check out the last room more than I need to grab a few masks, if we're picking and choosing.

Stealth went out the window when we blew up the file room. We've just gotta keep going forward.

Mm. If there's instructions or a facility map in there that's even more valuable than the masks, but...we can just talk to the Holy Beasts, in the end.

[he misses their ghosts SO BAD. but they have the materials anyway and can just. talk to the Holy Beasts.]

Let's check the final room first and break into this one on the way out. Kevin, you may also break the vending machine if you like.

[TO THE FINAL ROOM AND--oh, huh. The door is locked. It seems like a normal key-locked door, but it also feels like.....stuff has been piled on the other side of the door, as if trying to make sure it stays closed.

If Scarab's scanners are going, they will actually pick up a LOT of bodies on the other side, most running away. . .evacuating?]

[steals a look at everyone]

Well? Are we breaking it down or going another route? I'm open to alternatives. If we tell them it's a false alarm they might open the door for us.

And if they do open the door, Kevin and Lethe and I especially could be like. You know. "Hello, fellow wolves." [...] "We come in peace."

[argh argh argh]

It doesn't serve us to break into a space where we're outnumbered.

Scarab, Ananke, go back to the microphone room and use this dead wolf's voice. Tell them it was a false alarm. Refugees looking for a priest, not the Wolf King.

--take the corpse with you, if they open the door it will give us away.

Or I could animate it.

[ looks at the time-blorted corpse.

Looks at Kevin.

Looks back at the corpse.]

I don't think anyone's gonna believe he's okay if you do. I'll just...take him...

[ Scoops it up and heads off to the security room to use the mic again.

Once in the security room he looks around to see if he can disable the alarms from here at all, but whether he can or not he flips the mic to broadcast to the 777 room, and Scarab surfaces to handle modifying his voice to match the dead guard's ]

False alarm!! It's not the wolf king! It's just some refugees that broke in looking for—a priest?

. . .

. . .

. . .

[a two way radio in the wolf's back pocket suddenly crackles to life]

Hey, [CENSORED], is that you? What's going on? The filing room has been incinerated!

[ Oh man, is he going to go to hell for impersonating a dead guy?? Oh well!

Grabs the radio to respond and reaches out across Lethe's teacher skill to update the group on this new development ]

I know! One of them tried to get into it to find info on a priest, but they couldn't guess the password and the security system kicked in.

[oh thank goodness Scaranke have got the radio with them

MENTAL THUMBS UP YOU'RE DOING GREAT]

[ YOU GOT THIS SCARANKE

also muttering to charon, ]

Shouldn't you be standing back a little, in case they open the door?

[ you are obviously human-shaped and, maybe more pressingly, Look Like Yourself And Everything ]

A priest. . .? What are you talking about?

Whatever, have the intruders been apprehended? Are you okay? Ugh. Make sure they're restrained! Everyone's nearly evacuated, We'll unlock--

[sudden static]

You'll unlock—? Hey, is everything okay on your side?

[sweats, grabs some rope from Lethe to make it look like his wrists are tied

If the jig isn't up, you can say you brought a sheep prisoner to identify the priest.]

[there's a creaking and sound of heavy lifting from behind the door, clearly the sound the barricade being cleared. Those with good senses may hear a muffled alright, everyone stand back. . .

But otherwise, nothing. Do they enter?]

[that rope is coming in clutch so far. does his best to look like he's escorting a human prisoner

If they're not opening the door then we might have to walk in on our own. Everyone good?]

[ entering a room we know nothing about, full of wolves who might want to kill us. what's not to feel good about?

reaching for that door handle though ]

[he's got the Lady's brooch clutched and hidden in one hand now lol

I think we'll need to. Ananke--use your best judgement on whether to stay or move, but be ready to run with that body.]

[ I'll stay out of sight. If anything goes wrong, I can be there in seconds.

And then, over the radio ]

I'm okay here. I gotta make sure the fire's out, but I'm sending them through to you.

[a crackle of the radio. It's unsure if they heard it all entirely, but something went through.

they enter and.........

It's something resembling a literal underground casino. Huh. There are slots and tables and such all for entertainment purposes. Or that's what it looks like on first glance. They might notice there's no (known) currency at use, or even stand ins like poker chips and such. Things on the table include actual food, like bread or packs of meat or fresh vegetables. They'll also notice scattered belongings here and there. A jacket here, maybe a scarf. It looks like the people who were evacuated were done so in a hurry.

More immediate though, to their attention, is the dozen or so security wolves staring at them with utter confusion. Like the security they had faced up til now, some have masks, the power of which keeping the ink-like ooze on their fur in place, while others are just, y'know. Normal wolf furries in suits. Judging by how they all look the Lily 'wolves' up and down with bafflement, they're clearly on guard, guns drawn, unfamiliar, but not ready to pump them full of lead yet.

They all look between each other tensely, before a flatscreen tv on the wall flickers on. The wolves immediately all turn their heads toward it, ears perked up in attention.]

[And that's when a familiar face (to some) appears. Ceo, glaring through the screen, over his glasses.

His attention seems to be focused solely on Charon, and he sneers.]

Well. At least it isn't Clover.

[he stares even harder.

Lethe, Kevin, and Cepheus will hear an incredibly hard to resist order in their heads as their bodies move on their own:

Kill the captured sheep. The Lily.

roll 1d10 - if 5 or lower, you can't resit at all. If 6-9, you still are compelled to attack but can control it somewhat. If a 10, Charon can counter-order you.

And then Ceo speaks outloud.]

If they resist, take them out. I don't believe those are refugees.
