Chapter 8: The Bone Merchant

In the sprawling region of Flanders an old covenant has laid dormant for a long time, long enough to be forgotten. Filled with ancient mysteries and new challenges the magi must try to make their struggling covenant emerge from the winter and survive the spring.

Iolar will swoop down low and try to keep track of any runners , but her magic is sadly unsuitable for taking prisoners she could burn a lot of them but that is rather waht she is trying to avoid

Not so concerned with the largest one, more so I am looking for a mastermind or conniving type. Someone who doesn't fit in, doesn't look like the others.

If he sees nothing of the sort, his next priority for concern is Marcello's beserk frenzy. He will whizzo-leap over by him (but not too close), and shout We need prisoners, not corpses!

No thinkers in this lot.

Marcello barely pauses. He has a wild look in his eye you have never seen before.

They are abominations to the eyes of God! They can not be redeemed!

And with that he kills a child that got close.

Dios Mio!

Roberto will Spontaneously cast a variation of Spasm of the Uncontrolled Hand upon Marcello, taking into account the situation and his size. Since he is gigantic and has a Size of +2, I need to add a magnitude. Since I am sponting, I will set the duration for Diameter so I don't have to concentrate.
So...
ReCo10 Spasms of the Uncontrolled Gigantic Hand for a Diameter (Base 2, +2 Voice, +1 Diameter, +1 Size)
Sta +1, Rego 6, Corpus 3, Loud Words +1, Subtle Gestures -2 (I do have my shield in hand, but my sword is away and I am casting with my right)
base Casting Score = 9
Spending Fatigue for a Stress Die roll…
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2411677/
1!
Follow up roll…
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2411681/
An 8, doubled equals 16, plus 9 equals 25, divided in half equals 12.5

See, that’s what having Confidence does for you. Having just received two points, I was prepared to spend them if I had to, but it turns out I didn’t have to. I think that’s what Jebrick was hinting at earlier

Aelianus cast another sand spell. Yet again Aelianus tries to summon enough sand around a fleeing group to capture some fleeing mundanes. He tires to spread the sand so that adult will be up to their waist with sand.

Base level 1 (create sand) + 2 voice + 1 diameter duration + 1 for extra size = total level 5

Creo 12+ Terram 0+ Cyclic magic 3+ gestures and voice 2=17 +dice 2 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2415274/ = 19/2 = 9,5

Finesse roll for spell casting: Finesse 1 + 1 for specialisation with precision + 6 from dice http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2415276/ = 8

Roberto forces Marcello to drop his sword when the spell hits. Marcello falls to one knee trying to control his hands.

Between Aelianus, Halvard and the Knights you have captured most of them ( that Marcello did not kill). No runners got away.

Halvard:

Now that we have them, what are we going to do with them?

Investigate and interrogate them! Use Mentem if you need to! Right now I am dealing with a situation!
Roerto takes Marcello's sword away and attempts to talk with him.
Marcello! Hear me, you have been afflicted by the devils, they have driven you mad by preying upon your anger. You know that the bible says that all children are forgiven, there is no such thing as a damned child and there is so sin that cannot be redeamed by the infinite power of Christ. The demons are messing with your mind, you need to resist them!

Aelianus walks to the trapped mundanes with Diodorus at his feet. Diodorus hisses at the captured mundanes. Can someone speak with these mundanes? Please translate for me. First off all it must be clear that I can kill you and your children in a instant. The only reason that you still are alive is that I believe that you have information that I need. Enough with the threats and give me my answers. Why did you attack us? Who gave you that order? Where can we find them?

Diodorus will walk to the large human who was better fed than the others. He pulls out his claws on his pright front paw, hiss and scratches the man (in the face if possible). The scratch should be hard enough to draw blood but not injure the man in anyway (no more injuries than would occur from washing a cat). Then he returns to Aelianus feet.

Iolar lands behind Aelinius and resumes her human form , for the moment she says nothing as she suspects these poor lost souls do not speak latin or any other language she speaks. For that matter she does not think they are going to understand any language Aelinius speaks

I try to say it in Occitan (Provencal). This should work somewhat, even if using the correspondances from Lion and the Lily

Everyone near the cave have a bad feeling as if something is wrong. Some feel sick to their stomachs while others have nagging feelings. You feel like their is something in the corner of your vision but it is gone if you look.

Marcello seems to be struggling in controlling himself. He is not responding to Roberto.

Does Second sight reveal anything like a spirit nearby?
Iolar
I think perhaps a malign spirit may be nearby and spreading its influence over Marcello
OCC Pity we left Kilica behind this looks like a situation for Sense Holy/Unholy to be useful

There is a boundary of something at the mouth of the cave. It looks like the air is sicken.

On a hunch, Roberto tries casting Demon's Eternal Oblivion on Marcellus, in an attempt to purge any spirit that may be afflicting him. If that fails, Roberto tries to spont a PeVi effect to dispell infernal powers. If *that* fails, Roberto will presume it is because his Perdo was insufficient, so he shouts out to Wirth asking for emergency assistance.

No visible effect with the DEO. no visible effect with the PeVi.
