Night...6/27 the Marlboro Inn

*Alex pulls his bike into the parking lot and walks in. He is dressed in his colors and walks to the bar..ordering a beer,. He looks around to get a general sense of the room*

The Red and White edifice of the Biker Bar looks largely unchanged by time or fashion. The only hint that anything has changed here in decades is the array of motorcycles outside is far beyond the standard "Harley, Triumph, Indian, or get the Fuck Out" of old. Heavy crossovers and touring bikes with bat wings, USB ports, GPSs, and Honda heavy trikes are also parked in the outside motley.

Within the bar is surprisingly well lit, the age of the average customer easily 45-50. While colors are common, the most common one is grey hair.

The bar tender approaches you, tall, wearing a baseball cap that says "If I'm Ridin' I'm Happy!"

((Whats your current Rage?))

(Current Rage is 5)

Alex looks at the bartender "A boilermaker"

The bartenders expression turns ashen.... with a shaky hand he pours the shot and pushes the pint forward.

"Whatever you want man... just don't start anything..."

The rest of the patrons start looking at you. Most are inching away from you or fumbling for their cell phones.

*Alex takes the drink...pouring it down his gullet and looks to the others...smiles a bit wolfishly then heads to the bathroom. He waits until it is empty and blocks the door...looking in the mirror...he shifts into the Umbra..*

OOC Spending a Gnosis and two mentals knowledgable and rational to go into the umbra

The Inn has been around long enough, and in the same spot with enough misadventure and such to have a presence within the umbra. You're standing in a place that looks shadowy and similar to the building... though bare and insubstantial. You can see some small banes floating around moving with some customers.

Off to a corner of the bar you see a large bane spot you and vanish from the umbra.

*Spending one primal urge to shift...and attempting to kill the smaller banes...going at 28*

They seem completely caught off caught. They are wormlike and shriek as they see you coming.

They're going on a 2.

Swing away

*I am brutal enough to hit them*

The member 'Alex Cage' has done the following action : 1 masquerade, 2 masquerade, 3 masquerade

'RPS' :

The shrieking worm relents. You smash a big furry fist into it.

(one agg...any action from them?)

The screaching banes level at you, a foul wind in the umbra whips up. The other bane springs forward and tries to attach to you.

You're down 2 traits on all tests as the stench and vileness

The second banes "attachment"

The member 'STBucky' has done the following action : 1 masquerade, 2 masquerade, 3 masquerade

'RPS' :

*dodge with athletic*

The member 'Alex Cage' has done the following action : 1 masquerade, 2 masquerade, 3 masquerade

'RPS' :

*dodge restest*

It won't cancel.

chop

The member 'Alex Cage' has done the following action : 1 masquerade, 2 masquerade, 3 masquerade

'RPS' :

The worm thing elongates and fails to grapple you in a lucky stroke. Neither have any more actions.

My bad

The member 'STBucky' has done the following action : 1 masquerade, 2 masquerade, 3 masquerade

'RPS' :

(I think I am winning ties at 18  )

(ok spending two rage..going at 18.. first action..drawing gun*

After some shots, punches, and so forth, you make short work of the two wormlike creatures ((there's not much a point of chopping the rest of this out...))

The larger bane which seems to have vanished is no where to be seen however.

*Alex will go outside looking for an alley and shift back. Also going back to Homid and head back to the caern*
