Monster Hunters: Justice [IC]

"Yes, you're safe now, and we'll get you out of here in a minute, I promise. Are you alright?" Jack does his best to calm her down and comfort her, and then leads her to the first hostage that Marcus released*, and helps him out of the web. "What do you guys remember? How did you get here?" Jack tries to keep them calm and focused on him, and watches them carefully to make sure they don't go running off into another web (or try to escape).

Spoiler:  

Was there confirmation somewhere that there are only three hostages? And if so, was Jack around to hear it? Otherwise he would probably keep searching (and would ask the two conscious hostages if they know if there are others).

Also, how old is the girl Jack is talking to?
* If she's really young, Jack would try to avoid taking her directly past the bloodbath around second hostage.

The presence of his friend helps the guy on the web to calm down.

Girl: "I'm Dorthy, that's George, and... and I hope Melanie is alright."

George: We were out after dark when they attacked us. They hit us with the webs before we knew they were there. I don't know what happened exactly after that."

Dorthy: I didn't see much until after that thing hung me upside down like a piece of meat in a butcher's shop. Then it was just waiting, and watching, and trying to figure out ---"

She breaks out crying. Jack can tell she didn't want to. These people weren't just captured and held hostage, they were being fed on. Who-ever summoned the demons must have picked ones that would prolong the lives of the captives for quite a bit -- ones that fed on fear, hopelessness, and that sort of stuff.

Brother Man will make a circuit around Shawn's house, looking for anything out of the ordinary. If he passes within reasonable earshot of the faehound and the faehound doesn't appear to have taken notice of events, he will say "we have company". He won't go out of his way to do so as he doesn't want to reveal the faehound unnecessarily.

Randal heads back the way he came in. He will try to super leap the fence if it is short enough.

((I waited a week for the Laura Knight response before continuing...))

Marcus leaves Laura a message "I have some victims of my latest case here... Ive got the situation stabilized, but one of them could use a follow up with some conventional medicine or magic, and a cover story, so get back to me when you can."

Marcus concentrates to extend his range and does a search for "Jake Mansfield" to see how far the shadow might have gotten...

He hangs up his phone and carries his patient over to her friends.

"Melanie is going to be okay." He says as he carries the girl to her friends. "She's going to need some rest, and some time, but she should fully recover. I've put in a call to a specialist to help."

Shawn Fen: Hermit, Brother Man

The faehound isn't close, but is still around. No one seems to have tried anything at shawn's house.

Warehouse: Randal Kane

The shot comes, but its slow, and Randal isn't where the gunman hoped he'd be. He jumps a couple of fences, hoping to throw off pursuit.

It seems to work -- only a few more shots ring out as he makes his escape. He isn't sure if he's actually killed any monsters, but he might have put one or two down for a bit, and has drawn a lot of attention to their base of operations -- they'll have to move it. He's burned his lead on them, but they've at least been slowed, and now he knows at least a little about what they are

GM Rolls:
Dodge

OCC: what mode of transportation does he use anyways?

Brother Man will head over to check on Hermit and update him on the situation, then return to Shawn's house to keep watch. Since he has thus far failed to detect the foes, the best he can do is prevent them from moving on Shawn and hope to track them come morning.

[Talosian]

Jack stands awkwardly still, unsure of how to console the girl. He clears his throat, "It's over now, they're both gone, and we'll get you home as soon as we can get Melanie taken care of." Jack pauses and scratches at the back of his head, knowing that he needs to not be insensitive, but not completely sure of what would qualify. "Uh, so... did they say anything that you can recall? Did anyone or anything else come by? Anything you can remember about them or what happened might be help us find out where they came from..."

"Thank you. Good to know the boy has other watchers, even if the purposes are different" "May I borrow the dart?"
OOC Any lore on faehounds he can pick up? Will do a Hall of Records search but most likely its a High Fae leading that.
Will do a divination to see if can determine the director.
If get the dart will do a divination on it forst.No book at the momemt but looking for the person who through it. Lesser Sense Mind might be enough.

Three Fae:

'Jake' is out of range, the coward.

The two don't remember many details-- they spent all their time confined, upside down, and mostly blind. They do remember a third man who sounds a lot like Jake. There may have been some reference to 'mage' who arranged the whole situation when they were talking, but they never got any indication on the mages' location.

The two aren't even aware of where here is -- they were taken a fair distance away from where they were abducted. They think a car was involved, but they really couldn't see.
