*Gharn ignores Kara and leans over Izriel to allow her to see him*
Gharn: H-hello....


*Quetz raises a eyebrow*
Quetz: Hmmm?

Leo: It's just strange. Please continue. It's interesting.

*Rita watches, not knowing what to do.*
Rita: D-don't talk conserve your strength! Just get better okay... please.
*Tries to calm herself down, as her suit keeps sending stims into her body.*
Rita: You're gonna be okay... you're gonna be okay...

---
*Jake nods, and opens the door.*
*As they enter the room they see what appears to be some form of dungeon, the walls are covered in blood, and barbaric tortures tools.*
*In the center of this hellish room is Denny, crucified to a cast iron pentagram. She looks in bad shape, deep slashes run up and down her body. It also looks as though her left eye is missing, and only a black cavity remains. *
Jake: Denny!
*He immediately runs over to her, and tries to help her down.*
*Her remaining eye is still a clouded purple.*

*Billy's gun-arm drops as does is jaw*
Billy: Holy-...
*Appears lost for words for a moment, then snaps to it and goes to help Jake*


*Gharn leans over Izriel*
Gharn: Yes, please, conserve. We can get you help, or.. just...
*Looks at Rita, seeming scared then back down at Izriel*
Gharn: Please be okay...

[Commissar looks horrified] ... [Keeps pistol raised and tracks his eyes around the room]
[Perron lets go of Commissar's shoulder and slowly makes his way over to help Jake] [Curses, and a brief spatter of flame appears in the air as the word makes contact with oxygen]

*sighs and nods*
You're right. But Gharn still needs help, soon.
*looks down at Izriel*
Will she be alright?

*Ali drains all of Ramsey's blood and slowly stands up with a groan*
Ali: Feth, I haven't done that in a long time.

*Wade looks around*
DP: Pentagrams? For feth's sake.

*Nods, and leans back down*
I'll...I'll be...
*Trails off, and passes out again*

~

*Maiev nods, and holds Kara closely, incase she needs support*

~

*Denny barely responds to the new people, thinking it's a trick*
D: Jake...? No god...Jake...

*Gharn gives a small cry of fear and leans forwards*
Gharn: Izriel!?

*hugs Maiev and nods before suddenly looking Maiev up and down*
Are you alright? There was a lot of fire.

*Ali walks over to the group while wiping blood onto his robes*
Ali: Are you sure you want to take on the demon? Those two golems did a number on your group.

*Wade steps forwards*
DP: Yo Denny. We're getting you the feth outta here. These cultists are throwing the wrong kind of party.

*Rita looks mortified and she openly cries in front of the group.*
Rita: No..no please be okay... please...

-----
*Jake shakes his head, as he feels Denny sadness.*
Jake: No, Denny... I'm fine..
*Starts taking her down from the pentagram.*
*From the ceiling, Dakva silently floats to the ground a few paces from the group. She is in her red robes, and her strange leathery wings are spread wide.*
*A strange green orb silently orbits around her head.*
Dakva: My Beloved! Oh how I missed you... and you brought friends.
*Billy sees Jordan.*
*Deadpool sees Lady death.*
*Perron sees Dakva.*
*Commissar sees Sam.*
Dakva: What fun we will have...

[Commissar tears his eyes away from Denny and keeps looking around] We're here to help, Denny. You'll be home again soon.
[Sees Sam] ...No, I told you to stay home; stay safe. [His face falls]

[Perron stays quiet as he assists Jake]

[Yarrick sets Kimmy up a camp bed and clears away the models for the night] [Sits her in bed with a couple of spare stuffed commissars that for whatever reason are in the wardrobe]
[Kimmy reaches up as he stands]

[Sebastian looks confused]

*Billy looks confused*
Billy: Jordan? What are you doing here?


*Gharn's face goes the wrong sort of shape, like when someone's holding back tears as he tries to keep some semblance of strength*


*Quetz continues explaining, continuing on up to the story of Easter*

*Ali turns away from the group while running a finger along the blade of his knife*

*Wade frowns*
DP: You fething died. Can Death even do that? That's... what the feth.

*Veil slowly breaks off, little by little*
*Face looks surprisingly untouched, compared to rest of body*
*Still breathing, dw*

~

*Maiev nods, and continues holding Kara*
M: I couldn't do much, I'm sorry...

~

*Denny's without energy, so there's not much she can do*

[Kimmy keeps her hands raised]
[Yarrick looks down] ...I don't- I err.
[Leans down and gives Kimmy a cuddle] [Goes bright red] I'm not like your dad, Kimmy. I don't cuddle people very much.

[Kimmy gives him three stars out of five]

[Perron looks at Dakva] ...the hell are you doing to them?!
[Keeps himself between Denny, Jake and the figure]

*Rita is still pretty sad, and looks at Izriels face.*
*She sits next to her, and lets the stims in her system run their course.*

----
*Jake with the help of Perron manages to get Denny off the pentagram, and lower her to the ground.*
Jake: Denny, it's okay.. It's a trick.. we're getting you out of here.
*He wraps his duster around her, and hugs her. Then in a quick motion draws his magnum, and aims it at Dakva.*
Jake to Dakva: You... will... pay...
*He empties his gun at Dakva, who manages to put up a energy shield in time.*

----
"Jordan" to Billy: I am here to save you! Silly!
*She puts up a energy shield.... which is sorta weird.*

"Lady death" to DP: Of course I can come back... I am death. Silly!
*Her energy shield not so weird.*

"Sam" to Commissar: I got lost and found my way here... help! Silly!
*Sorta strange.. Sam does know magic.*

Dakva to Perron: Why are you free? You should still be in your hole...
*Grins at Perron, showing off her needle like teeth.*

*Gharn still kneels next to Izriel and Rita, trying to hold back in his tears*


*Billy frowns*
Billy: But you said you didn't want t'come... and since when could you do that? Is that somethin' new y'found?

*kisses Maiev and shakes her head*
Don't be sorry. You're alive, and unharmed. That's nothing to be sorry about.
*looks over at Ali and frowns*

*Wade shrugs*
DP: So, I gotta save Denny. But after that, are you free Saturday? We've got some catching up to do. Well, I can multitask...

*Maiev notices the glance, and follows it*
M: What's up Kara?

~

*Denny barely moves on the ground, and continues shivering and and watching Jake die over and over(if ZK says yes)*

*Leo listens to Quetz*

Leo: So you give presents to those you care about?

*Leo Leo squints and rubs her chin*

*Leo's tongue flicks out while she thinks*

[Perron hits the ground as Jake starts firing to get out of their way] [Kneels with Denny] He's really here for you, just hang in there. [Doesn't touch Denny, and keeps his hand to his chest]
Keep thinking of him, he's right here for you, and you're going home...
[Hears Davka and turns his head] [Spits on the ground] [Swears at her, and the word combusts again as it touches the air]
[Turns back to Denny] ...

[Commissar whips around] Jake! What the feth are you playing at?! [Looks between Sam and the gunslinger] [Pauses] [Looks back at Sam] ...?

*Quetz nods*
Quetz: That is the idea, yes. But it is certainly not a requirement


*Gharn stinks of burnt flesh, and he's paling slowly*

*sighs*
Be ready.
*kisses Maiev's forehead before breaking from the embrace and walking over to Ali*
*puts a hand on his shoulder as the elf goes to turn around*
You have explaining to do, blood mage.

*Ali sighs*
Ali: It was so you wouldn't lynch me, or try to. The same reason as why you shouldn't tell the templar that you ally with demons.

*Kara tightens her grip, making Ali grit his teeth*
K: Do not, under any circumstances, unless it is to save a life, use those abilities again. Do you understand?

*Ali nods*
Yes. Loud and clear.

*Jake reloads his magnum and keeps firing at Dakva, going for the green orb orbiting her head.*
Jake: It's a fething trick! That thing isn't your beloved, *looks at Deadpool* or feth buddy!
*He keeps holding Denny.*
Jake: Shoot her!
*Dakva/Jordan/Lady Death/Sam growls, and lifts her hands. As she does this the green orb emits a high pitched screech, and glows with unnatural light.*
*Jake's magnums dissolves before his eyes, next the skin of his arm flakes away.*
*He screams in horrible pain.*

*Billy looks between Jordan and Jake then growls*
Billy: I dunno what's goin' on, but you are NOT Jordan.
*Aims his arm and then does the spiderman gesture to shoot webs, which triggers a small rocket to fly from a hatch his wrist towards Dakva*

*Wade frowns and looks between Jake and Death*
DP: If you are Death, you'll come back, yeah?
*draws a pistol and fires a round at Dakva's head*
DP: Goodnight, sweet prince.

[Commissar's eyes widen and he nods] ...Jake wouldn't lie, from his reputation...
[Throws his pistol to Jake, and it clatters to the ground by Jake's side]
[Draws his sword and activates the energy field, charging at Davka to distract her] For all that is good!

Ooc: Stupid thing to do, but as everyone in the room with a gun has legendary skills, he's counting on them not shooting him in a vital organ.

*Leo finishes her hunk of meet and waves to Quetz*

Leo: Thanks you the story Quetz. I'll see you around.

*Leo walks to Scatty and Aiofe's room and knocks on the door*

*Maiev crosses her arms and smiles at Kara setting Ali straight*

~

*Denny passes out after witnessing Jake in pain(again)*

*Gharn doesn't leave Izriel's side, but is slowly paling still, as his adrenaline fades and the pain from his arm becomes more severe*


*Quetz nods and smiles*
Quetz: Of course, Leo. Have a good day.


*Scatty looks up*
Scatty: Come in!
*She's still on the scrying stone talking to someone, Aoife is passed out in a chair next to her*
