Lamia makes a bad vessel. We can easily overpower Benny without killing him. Not true with Lamia!

I say we try to drop the situation...

"look stop shooting... I have nothing against you, and we mean no harm... All I want is your help..."

>>155607
Ehh, that's true, but we can always find another Benny.

>>155709
Everyone's supposed to be evacuated, so it seems unlikely.

He shot you. Take him down with as much lethal force as you wimpy girls can offer.

I tell Lamia to attack him and try to get the shotgun away! Lamia slashes at him with her claws, she moves close and tears into his unarmored limbs. Blood and meat spray across her face and he screams as he falls. One of her swipes drags across his torso. I think he's wearing a vest under there because his guts don't come out.

He doesn't seem to be breathing.

>>155732
Yayyyyy!

Tell Lamia she did a good job, pet her and 'reward' her.

Take off the armor, wear it and tell Lamia she can have the rest.

Yaaaay! Now his buds might come!

>>155732
Well, so much for a nonlethal takedown.

"Um. Well, at least he's not shooting anymore. That's enough, Lamia."

Grab his gun, and any sidearm he has. Then check his pulse. Try to determine if his wounds are truly lethal, or if he's just unconscious.

>>155732
Ok there has now been screams and shoots fired, his friends are likely to come to investigate and not very likely to fall for the same trick twice, and it's likley they're looters so if they catch you I'm thinking there is going to be rape hopefully followed by a bullet to the head because the alternative isn't nice. Tell Lamia to drag his ass with you and then get the fuck out of there as fast as fucking possible while carrying/dragging his corpse. Bring the gun as well. Carrying is best actually. Less obivous bloor trail that way.

Find a good hiding spot and then see who he was and what he had on him.

>>155768
Looters? Yes, of course. The men wearing military uniforms, helmets, and driving a jeep with a FUCKING ARTILLERY WEAPON on it are looters.

And you know what? Let's not reward Lamia. That took about 15 extra minutes off the clock last time and here she misinterpreted our orders. If we reward her for every thing she does even partially right we're never going to get out in time.

Also Benny would get freaked out by the lesbian sex immediately following the brutal mauling of a fellow human being.

Could we please, please take this quest a little more seriously, and pay attention to what's going on?

>>155780
They have a rather distinct lack of any insignia. Not to mention poor discipline and a very distinct lack of being helpful towards civilians in trouble. Don't know where they got their hands of the jeep and what looks like a .50 cal, but they sure as hell are not military.

We should get the fuck out of there as soon as we can and bring the corpse with us so we can examine him in peace. Because I don't think his friends are going to let us get away with what we just did and standing around there with thumbs up our collective asses while they come in to search for him isn't likely to lead to a good end.

>>155784
Army men are less disciplined than you think. Military contractors are even worse. There is absolutely NO REASON to think these guys are looters. They even said "Oh this lady doesn't look like a looter". Why would the other guy be 'on break' if they were looters?

You're making no goddamn sense.

>>155793
Army men aren't always the most disciplined. But in no western army I'm aware of are you allowed to act that way towards civilians. You're certainly not allowed to take advantage of a situation like that to get a quick fuck, if I had done that my commanding officer would have been on top of me like a fucking ton of bricks in seconds. Then I would have been thrown out so fucking fast it would have broken the sound wall. Only reason army would have to be there is to aid in evacuation, something they sure as fuck ain't doing.

So as I see it. They're not military, they're not there to aid in the evacuation. Means they're after something else. In which case they're looters. Since they're out to loot something. And I guess he was on a break, because you know breaks are nice and after many strenous hours of taking shit that's not yours you might need to smoke a fag and relax.

Looters also tend to dislike competition. Hell in these circumstances that would be a rather natural observation to make. Doesn't mean anything aside from them having a brain and a couple of eyes behind those visors.

Urgh.

Search corpse for ID or information. If he's not a corpse yet, just let Lamia continue. Call it self-defense.
Wonder how tough Lamia really is. Too bad there's no safe way to find out of she's bullet-proof.

>>155819
Sorry about that, got carried away. Anyone who can do it please feel free to move my side of the conversation to the questdis.

We strip him quick. The shirt and pants are torn up some, and bloody but I could wear them instead of my toga. Benny shoves Lamia away and checks on the man

"I k-know a little first aid. Tell that creepy monster bitch to stay the hell a-away from me." He checks a few things and tries to press an extra sheet against the wounds. "H-he's dead."

I am pretty sure everyone heard the gunshot. This guy is as tall as I am and probably twice as heavy. None of us are strong enough to lift him. I could probably drag him, but it would be slow, and I'm sure his friends heard the gunshot. He doesn't have a sidearm. He's got some extra shells in one pocket and about twenty bucks and some pistol bullets in the other. I don't know if they're the same kind as the pistol I left outside.

So, should I change quick here? Who gets the gun and who gets the vest? Do we move or stay here and wait for his friends or try something else?

You get the gun, Lamia gets the vest. Benny gets to hide, he's no use anyway.

>>158036
Scream as loud as you can, then run. Leave everything behind.
Even a casual inspection will show that he died from something that wasn't human, and after his buddy leaves you can scavenge the corpse.

>>158037
...I basically agree here, since Lamia is more likely to get shot at than anyone else, and since Benny is going to be used as a vessel, he should be unarmed.

Oh also, tell Lamia to give Benny some space from here on out.

Benny sure as hell doesn't get the gun.

Give Lamia the armor since you still have the protective boon and take the gun for yourself.

Lamia puts on the vest. I put on the pants and undershirt and take the shotgun. The pants have pockets, so I stick my items in there.

We don't hear anything outside and this door doesn't have a window in it.

"I don't like this mistress" hisses Lamia. "It covers up my pretty dress"

Benny is cowered behind a cabinet.

So... what is the plan?

The plan is to level your gun at whoever is in the door, telling them the other guy freaked out and shot himself, and you're not taking the blame for that. If they attack, shoot them.

"The other guy freaked out and shot himself" I shout, realising how totally unreasonable and ridiculous that sounds, "I'm not taking the blame for it."

The door creaks open a tiny sliver and a hissing canister comes flying in.

Tear gas! Quickly, cover your mouths with damp washcloths and find some way to cover your eyes!

>>158183

OHSHI-! Get rid of is ASAP. Or let Lamia do it, in case she's unaffected.

Gah.. ack My eyes are watery but I feel OK right now. We scurry around searching for something to cover our eyes or mouth with but there isn't anything readily available. Lamia doesn't appear to be immune. She's doing worse than me or Benny.

Yea, I dunno what you were expecting. Those are blatant 'creature' wounds, so if you had just screamed "OH FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?!? IT GOT HIM!" things probably would have gone a lot differently.

Also: Stop letting the gun drift towards Lamia and keep it pointed at the door.

Blow a hole through the door with the shotgun and throw the gas grenade through it.

If there are any other exits, depart quickly through them.

Lamia collapses on to the ground. I start to feel woozy, but Campe flashes in front of me briefly

>"I can no longer Protect you, Karen"

I fire the gun, blowing a hole through the door. Benny scoops up the grenade and tosses it, but starts to cough.

>>158237

Hide Lamia somewhere.

Ask Jersey Devil to use his Flight boon to get you up against the ceiling so you can ambush the soldiers as they come through the door.

Yank the door open and shoot the guy.

I drag Lamia behind the equipment and hear the sprinklers come on overhead.

I hear nothing whatsoever outside and I can't wait in here to pass out.

I'm yanking the door open and taking care of this.

I yank the door open and am immediately fired at by a solider waiting behind the counter. The shots splinter the doorframe directly next to my head.

I immediately return fire and his arm comes off at the elbow.

>>158282
Fire again! Don't stop until he's a bloody dead pile on the floor!

Lamia is going to eat well tonight.

>>158282

He's still alive, screaming in pain and clutching his stump. I fire and miss.

Jersey Devil peeks around the corner

>"There is one at the door, crouching, still. Waiting."

I hear Benny coughing behind me, but I'm Ok for now. The air is sort of starting to clear.

Stop shooting at the wounded one.
Have the Jersey devil possess the last soldier, then disarm, restrain, and treat the wounded soldier. The disarm and restrain the possessed soldier before having Leonard leave his body.

>>158290
Move to the side so that you might be able to see the crouching guy- or at least part of him- and open fire.

Benny stops coughing. I hear a thump.

I pop around the corner and bullets chip the plaster right next to my head. I return fire and hit him in the chest, but his vest protects him.

Jersey Devil can't possess anyone. He can peek at things close to me or he can grant me a boon, that's it.

>>158314
I have an idea that might give us a better chance at this. Go back into the room. Tell Jersey Devil to inform you if the soldier starts to advance upon your position. Meanwhile, get that vest off of Lamia and put it on yourself.

>>158314
Get Jersey Devil to scout ahead, and yeah, get that armor for yourself for now.

I duck back in to the room. The gas isn't really a problem anymore.

I strip Lamia quickly and begin to put the armor on while The Jersey Devil watches the door.

Before I get the vest on, the Devil shouts

>"Man is running toward his truck Kyaa! Kyaa! One armed man is not moving."

Oh fuck he's gonna call for backup! Chase him down and shoot him while he's running!

Jersey Devil can't possess anything. Only grant me those boons or peek at something relatively close to where I am.

I grab the shotgun and run out, but it looks like he wasn't radioing for backup after all, or if he is there isn't a lot I can do about it.

The weather has turned downright Ominous.

I am putting the quest on hold for a while, and probably running something else that I previously had planned as my sketch quest in the interim. I want to rethink some stuff about it because I'm not really enjoying it right now. Futher suggestions, critique and comments are more than welcome.
