Tue 16th - Both Of Us Half-Damned

by **Theresa McMasters** » Wed Nov 26, 2014 2:14 pm

"Fight it, Murphy. It's me, Theresa." She was blinking her own eyes, a little dazzled by the light herself as she tried to maintain her distance from Murphy.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Wed Nov 26, 2014 2:18 pm

Murphy whines mournfully.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Wed Nov 26, 2014 2:21 pm

Theresa allowed herself to lightly touch the ground. "I'm sorry, but I couldn't let you turn me into werewolf-chow."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Nov 26, 2014 2:32 pm

And that's when Brigid does a two-handed vault over a fairly large log and skids to a stop near Theresa and Murphy.

It might not be the best plan for dealing with a skittish werewolf.

And the sizable branch she scoops up and grips might not broadcast friendliness either.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 12:04 pm

With a loud bark, a surprised Murphy pounces at Brigid.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 12:09 pm

"Dammit," Theresa says, bringing in a wind to try to knock Murphy off course. "Get out of here, Brigid."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 9:49 pm

"Look, I wouldn't have come here if it wasn't important," Brigid grunts, tumbling out of the way.

"If we don't deal with this, her sister's going to try something crazy."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 2:24 pm

Murphy hits the ground where Brigid was roughly and Theresa's wind knocks her into a tree. With an angry growl snaps at it, her jaws breaking the tree in half.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 2:28 pm

"Then stop her sister and let me worry about her," Theresa said, letting the clouds around her arms discharge lightning at Murphy again, trying to keep her attention.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 2:31 pm

"Steph's on that, I ran ahead to warn you," she says, circling around Murphy with the branch.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 2:41 pm

Murphy snaps at Brigid wildly, before being hit by Theresa's bolt of lightning. She lets out a loud yip of pain before glaring at Theresa and beginning to growl.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 2:52 pm

"Yeah, over here, sweetheart." Theresa said, moving back some as she tried to draw Murphy away from Brigid.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 2:52 pm

"Seriously, she's out there with a bow and arrows. Those weren't target shooting heads on them, either. It looked like silver."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 2:54 pm

Murphy growled, a low rumbling sound that echoed through your bones. She carefully stepped towards Theresa. She watched the girl with suspicious eyes.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:13 pm

Theresa let a small bit of lightning arc between the clouds on her arms. "Then maybe we should work on getting Murphy away from here," she said, still backpedaling. "Come on, come and get me."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:14 pm

"That's what I was thinking. We lead her as far away as possible," she says, backing up with Theresa.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:17 pm

Murphy suddenly springs and throws her considerable bulk at Brigid, trying to knock the girl over.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:26 pm

Theresa reacts quickly, trying to bodily knock Brigid out of the way. It is possible that she didn't think this through.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:27 pm

Brigid is reacting by bringing the branch up to brace against Murphy, but isn't expecting Theresa to body-check her, which does in fact knock her out of the way. Foul!

by **Hannah Murphy** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:29 pm

Murphy snaps at Theresa with sharp, gleaming teeth.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:40 pm

Theresa cried out as the teeth made contact with her shoulder.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:41 pm

Brigid leaps on Murphy's back, trying to bring the branch up under the wolf's chin to pull Murphy's head back.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:45 pm

Murphy struggles and snaps at Brigid as she pulls her head up.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 3:55 pm

Brigid wrestles with Murphy for a few tense moments, angling for position, but ultimately loses her grip on one end of the stick as Murphy snaps at her arm, going tumbling from the wolf's back while trailing blood.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 4:20 pm

Theresa rolled to her hands and knees, "That's enough!" She dug her fingers into the dirt and looked at Murphy with her eyes burning with green fire. The wind picked up under Murphy, trying to lift her into the air.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 4:39 pm

The winds slowly manage to pick Murphy up. She kicks her legs and struggles uselessly to try to gain some sort of leverage in midair.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 4:43 pm

Brigid scrabbles back to her feet.

"Can we move her like that?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 4:48 pm

"I don't know," Theresa said. "I'm doing good to hold her up right now. If I lose contact with the ground, I may not be able to maintain the winds."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 4:56 pm

"Okay then, here's the plan. She's huge. Even if she decides to go through things, it's gonna slow her down."

"So, you feel up to a run?"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:12 pm

And that's when Murphy catches an arrow in the eye. She roars in pain as she thrashes in midair.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:25 pm

"Gods dammit," Theresa said, the winds beginning to howl as she encased Murphy completely in a cocoon of air, hopefully to deflect any more incoming arrows. "Stop her!"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:30 pm

Brigid takes a moment to figure out roughly where the arrow came from, then scrabbles up a tree to scout in that direction.

by **Jean-Louise Murphy** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:33 pm

Murphy is in the branches of a tree, not far from Brigid, taking aim at Murphy. She releases another arrow, but Theresa's winds knock it wild.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:34 pm

Brigid quickly finds a solid enough branch to climb out on, and makes a leap for Mini-Murphy.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:45 pm

Stephanie pounced at mini-Murphy at the same time as Brigid. It was likely they would collide.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:47 pm

And once again Brigid goes tumbling to the ground due to being tackled by a teammate.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:49 pm

Stephanie snarled in frustration and her eyes widened as she saw blood on both of her other teammates. "Shit!" she growled. "Brigid! Fastball special to get mini Murph?" she asked offering a clawed hand to get up.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:51 pm

Brigid grunts, and kicks herself back to standing.

"You're on," she says, climbing up.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 5:59 pm

Stephanie snarled from the effort, but easily launched Brigid into the air towards the tree where mini Murphy was taking aim again.

by **Jean-Louise Murphy** » Fri Nov 28, 2014 6:49 pm

Seeing Brigid launched at her, Murphy tries to phase. Unfortunately, she goes the other way and the branch snaps as Murphy starts to fall out of the tree.
