Seth puts his phone away and shouts, "Hey! Thanks for your help!" to the wizard who helped them. He closes the distance with the guy quickly and extends a hand. "Seth Roland. And you are?"

Mags stays behind/beside Seth but within view of Harrison.
"Umm...name's Megs. How did you do that shield thing? What was that thing? "

"That?" Harrison seems confused. "You must be new to magic. It quite standard. Magic can be used to bar a specific individual from entry or exit. The effects vary based on what you have available. If you were in a building, you could use it on a door, while being outside means you must use it on a wider area. How did you come across you power? Were you trained? Or did it just... suddenly appear?"

Ajay followed the GPS which lead into a street. Was this really the right direction? It was so confusing. Were they in danger? So many thoughts raced behind Ajay's mind, but he drove on until he reached the location.

Ajay is taken out of the city and into an urban development, which later becomes a long road with no buildings in site. After about 1 more minutes Ajay will arrive. You are all in a field surrounded by a few trees fairly spread out.

She looks unsure if or how to answer. "Umm. I...Umm was never trained. Besides learning how to sort of control them. I..Um I don't feel comfortable telling you any more."

Harrison seems concerned. "Be careful. Magic is powerful, but it corrupts. I've known more than one friend who magic destroyed, no matter how careful they were. The less you understand it, the greater the likelihood you will become its victim." He then looks off into the distance and sees a car approaching and begin to pull over near the van Seth and Margaret got out of. "It seems someone else is here. I have a lot to do. I'll be going."
OOC:
If they want, Seth and Margaret can do 1 more than before Harrison leaves. if you want him to stay, you'll need to use manipulate someone on him, at the risk of him getting a bad impression of you two. If you don't want to do anything, please say so to prevent me from waiting without knowing.Mar 22, 2024 12:29 pm
Seth says, "Please wait, we could really use your help in our investigation. We have resources that you do not, and can help each other out. Can you tell us more about the creature we just faced?"

Rubbing the back of her neck Mags nods in agreement. She notices Seth's wounds from the creature. She rubs her hands together and the start to vibrate with a dark aura. She places them on his wound hoping to heal them...
[ +- ] Lay On Hands:
Your touch can heal injury and disease. When you lay your hands on someone hurt, roll +Cool. On a 10+, heal 2 harm or an illness, plus they’re stabilized. On a 7-9, you can heal the harm or illness as on a 10+, but you take it into yourself. On a miss, your aura causes them extra harm.

Cool - (2d6+1)

Harrison turns and seems hesitant to stay. With a partial success, he might do as you ask but not with words alone. You'll need to provide something you think he would value more than leaving to do what he has planned somewhere else. What would you propose?
As Margaret touches Seth's wound, the decay seems to reverse in real time. As she finishes, though, Margaret reals with sudden pain as she sees her shoulder start to decay. Seth heals 2 harm. Margaret takes 2 harm.

Dropping to her knees Meg's groans in pain. "Mother fuck..." She stays there for a bit getting used to the pain before gritting her teeth and standing.
"Please. Stay help us. I.. I do not know what I am doing." groaning and muttering swears under her breath. "Help us. I...Need training... this shit isn't working..."

Harrison seems torn, but not quite convinced with words alone.
OOC:
Since Seth already rolled manipulate someone and got a partial success, you need to do something for him to get him to stay. He seems concerned for Margaret, but you can see he has somewhere he wants to be and the sympathy he feels isn't enough alone to make him stay. You think you'll see him again, but as for now he is leaving is words are all that are being used.[ +- ] Manipulate Someone
This move is used when you want someone to do something for you and they don’t want to do it. To get them to do what you’re asking you’ll need a good reason. What counts as a good reason depends on what you are asking for and your relationship with them. For friends and allies, you might just need to ask. For witnesses to a monster attack, you could tell them you are with the police, or just offer them some cash for answering your questions.
Once you have given them a reason, tell them what you want them to do and roll +Charm.
For a normal person:
• If you get 10+, then they’ll do it for the reason you gave them. If you asked too much, they’ll tell you the minimum it would take for them to do it (or if there’s no way they’d do it).
• On a 7-9, they’ll do it, but only if you do something for them right now to show that you mean it. If you asked too much, they’ll tell you what, if anything, it would take for them to do it.
• On a miss, your approach is completely wrong: you offend or anger the target.
For another hunter:
• On a 10+, if they do what you ask they mark experience and get +1 forward.
• On a 7-9, they mark experience if they do what you ask.
• On a miss, it’s up to that hunter to decide how badly you offend or annoy them. They mark experience if they decide not to do what you asked.

Seeing the man wanting to leave Meg asks "Could we get your number? In case we have questions or need help. "

OOC:
Ajay is now out of the car and is without hearing range of Seth and Margaret Mar 24, 2024 4:27 pm
Ajay huffed and panted, "Uff....ohff.....ah....What....happened to you two? I came running and driving as fast as I could. Were you attacked? Seth told me on the call that you were in the middle of an encounter with a suspect? What happened here?"
Mar 25, 2024 5:46 pm
Seth turns to Ajay, his attention away from Harrison and Margaret as they exchange information. [b]"We ran into the suspect of the knife attack, and this gentleman here was already in combat with it when we arrived. We trapped it briefly but we ultimately let it go. It is apparently looking for some book, it would seem."[/b] Seth says, recounting some of the details for him.
Mar 25, 2024 6:34 pm
Ajay turned to Seth with his brows raised, "Wait, a suspect with knife that attacked you? Have checked the news? There is one who attacked the curator of the museum, the Vault of Learning. The curator said that the suspect attacked with sharp knife and was looking for something. Chances are that it is the same person. Also, interesting is the fact that the late Mr. Pennington is related to Vault of Learning. Apparently, he donated to the museum. Wait, are you perhaps injured? Let's go back to the infirmary and share each other's findings."

Meg's holding a few of her wounds in pain looks at Ajay..."I tried.. a spell I found in one of your books to heal Seth. It didn't go very well..." Handing Seth the business card he walks to the car. "Might need to take a look at both of us..."
