It seems your work is done here, and it's getting on to evening. Do you all stay the night here, start after the Deevils, or continue your trip back to Castle Refuge?

Once the debris had been cleared and the wounded had been salved, so much as they were capable, Adatahl waited for his companions near where they had landed. Presumably, they would return to discuss the situation. With two arms folded, leaned against a tree, he let his opinion be known.
"We should stay the night. Our journey is already paused, and the beasts may return in the night for revenge." He motioned to the wreckage.

Cass was anxious to get back to report, but Adatahl's words speak to the heart of her vows. "Of course, an excellent proposal, Adatahl, and I add my vote to yours."
She wonders, though. To the old man who greeted them, she asks, "Does the town have a radio with which we may contact Castle Refuge?"

"That seems like a statistical probability. I concur, Adatahl." Sun Li said, looking back at the town. "We will take the usual watches after securing a good vantage point for the evening." The man turns and begins to look through the town's remaining defenses and structurally sound buildings.
OOC:
Maybe an Academics roll or something? Perhaps a Lore roll to find a location that makes sense for dealing with Deevils? If I roll well, I want to create the aspect "Strategically Located".Rolls

You have successfully created said aspect, and Sun Li gets one free invoke. After that he and the rest of you can invoke it by spending a Fate Point.

Lanval found a rooftop perch from which he has good sightlines throughout the villiage.
Oct 20, 2022 1:29 am
Cass leaves Lanval to overwatch, and finds a central place from which to charge to glory and a red ruin, once the cry goes up. She nestles into a chair on the street, and as darkness falls, will shoo away any urchins that seek to have her endlessly repeat stories of daring and adventure.

Adatahl negotiates an upper level to rest in, one with a large barn-style door to emerge from if there comes a battle. He is happy for a roof over his head and a room large enough to stretch out in, though his ears are perked and his radio turned up.

We lost KingHotTrash. At this point I think we just soldier on without him. What do you all think?Oct 22, 2022 9:52 am
As the sun sets, most of the villagers retire for the evening. A great number of them have to stay with friends and neighbors as their homes are now unlivable. Three of the armed villagers, including the older man you've been talking to, agree to set up a watch and patrol the village over the night. You all settle in to your hiding places and wait.
Lanval, around three in the morning you see movement along the edge of the village. Several figures are approaching.

Lanval gets to walkie-talkie. "Several figures on the edge of the village." He announces to any listening. Lanval shifts forward to get a better look and brings a set of binoculars to his eyes to see what is coming.

Replying on the radio, Cass asks, "Confirm the other side that we're not being flanked. I'll move toward the ones Lanval has seen."
She quietly moves from her central location and using houses to keep out of line of sight as best she can, moves to intercept.

"I can circle the city to check for a flanking forces, but they may see me take to the air." He crouched at the upper exterior door, peering through the shutter. "Is it worth it? We may lose the element of surprise."

Lanval, you see a dozen more of the Deevils slowly moving through the light woods around the village. They look like they're trying to be quiet, but aren't really attempting to hide themselves.
Oct 23, 2022 1:32 pm
"Deevils. 12 of the them in the woods. Recommend we open up on them now and try to keep the fight out of the village." Lanval reports.

"Make the call Lanval, you've got eyes on. I'm headed in hot." She summons her psionic armor and sword as she runs, and ceases trying to be stealthy about it.
"What do we know of these Deevils, call it out?"

Cassiopeia and Lanval, you both have some knowledge of the Deevils. They are the most numerous of the beings from Dyval, and serve as that realms foot soldiers. They are aggressive, violent and vengeful, as well as deceitful. They're vulnerable to certain woods and to silver, and their hotheaded nature often leads to them making tactical mistakes. They also tend to underestimate mortals.
