"Plebian" Donovan said, sitting down with a huff on the cart. "well, at least I wont get stabbed in an alley by some horrible monster."

Blackjack moved away from the cart, confidence radiated from her military jacket, and the shadow of the bulging helmet on her shoulder followed under the dim lighting. The crew watched, some moved and shuffled around, others set their box down to the sound of Blackjack's footsteps on the damp, cobblestone street. The light overhead flickered and buzzed.

As Blackjack moved down the street alone, the shuffling of something, grew louder until it became evident that the noise was sourcing from a small alley. Around the corner, no lights seemed to seep into the crevice. There was a sound of flapping as Blackjack peered into the alley.

The smell was overwhelming and putrid.

Something large, around the size of three boxes like the ones that were to be carried, was tucked away in the alley. The faint outline was hovered over something dead, and furry. The sound of ripping flesh sputtered and spat in the air, followed by the sound of chewing and chunks of meat hitting the filthy ground. Blackjack picked out the details of a snout, and the thin skin of wings with large tendons attached to the body.

Blackjack, slightly stunned, could  not confirm what this creature was. A glance of the eyes turned around to Blackjack. They stared.

((Zar followed, btw :v))

Blackjack took a step back, watching the bird-thing. There were bounties for monsters or something, maybe? The fucking Black Sea was filled with them, even if she didn't get paid it was one less vermin in the streets. She'd play this carefully, she was rash but she wasn't a damned idiot. She slowly backed up, motioning for Zar to do the same before putting her hand on the dagger on her hip and keeping her other hand free to grab the pistol holstered on her chest as soon as it made the first move... Assuming it did, of course.

Zar froze. Shit. He'd been expecting some street brats, rusty razors and wrapped hands, ready to try and pinch some drunken sailor and loot his drinking money. Well, unless street brats grew wings and got a helluva lot more ugly, then this was a damned Black Sea monster. Obviously a small one, probably not very dangerous, but he didn't exactly have experience in this area, he'd maybe seen three in his life. Crouching lower and nodding to Blackjack, Zar keeps his hand on his knife, ready to lash it out at the slightest movement from the beast.

The monster in the alley way hissed and crawled backwards. The sound of claws scratched against the ground as the beast moved up and over what it was feeding on. A dog, a large one too. It's abdominal region ripped open by this thing. The red eyes stared back at the two as it suddenly rushed forward and leaped into the air, catching itself into flight and soaring right over their heads.

Zar accidentally sliced the air and caught Blackjack right upside the head. A long gash ripped up the left side of Blackjack's head! Blackjack immediately lost hold of her gun and clamped her hands to her bleeding face. The gun skitters along the ground as Blackjack cries out in agony and kneels to the ground. Blood oozing between her fingers, and the wound burning like hot fire.

The flying beast over head screeched. Now in the light, is revealed to be a large Harbor Bat! The biggest the two have ever seen!

The Crew could hear the sound of screeching and a suddeny cry of agony. Down the street, they could the outlines of someone crouched to the ground, someone moving their arms, and something flying overhead.

BLACKJACK :: HEALTH |||||||||| :: SANITY |||||||||| :: !!BLEEDING!! !!HEAVY WOUND!!

Blackjack screams out, clutching her hand to her face as she gains a fresh cut on her face, another that'll add to the collection of scars she's accrued in her travels. "PICK UP THE BLOODY FUCKIN' GUN YOU BLEEDIN' IDIOT," she yelled. One fucking thing, one fucking mistake.  How the hell did people manage to fuck up in such spectacular ways? She stumbled back and glared at Zar with wounded face, blood streaming down from the wound Zar had made.

Well. Shit, that happened. Zar lost his cool for a bit, to say the least, and now there was a large, bleeding gash in Blackjack's face, courtesy of his blade. He doubted he'd be hearing the end of this later, but there were bigger things to worry about. Stooping down and leaping for it, Zar grabs the pistol, attempting to follow the bat's movements with the weapon and fire at the creature.

Thomas was going to follow them into the alley, but from what he could make out in the silhouettes that danced around in the alley. He was sure glad he didn't, instead he took this opportunity to head the damned beast off. Running down a different alley and unhooking either a torch or lantern to frighten the beast away.

Allan's composure is lost for a second when he hears the sounds coming from the alley. "Bloody fookin' Mother Mary of flippin' 'ell!" he draws his brass knife and runs down there. He couldn't tell if it was coming from either his friend Zar or... Blackjack. Regardless, it warranted an investigation.

Zar aimed the gun with shaky hands trying to get a shot off on the dexterous bat.

SKILL CHECK {Difficulty Hard}{ROLLED: 7}{FAILED}

There's a loud shot, the ring of ricochet, and the thick smell of gunpowder. A lantern overhead exploded, bringing down a hail of sparks and removing most of the already faint light. The bat screeched  as it flew to the side, and see the group of people coming down the street, it nosed dive in the other direction and flew up with immense speed back into the darkness of the cavern.

COMBAT HAS ENDED

Thomas ducked into an alley, unbeknownst to the other crew as the scrambled to the scene. In the alley was a lantern, though much higher than Thomas could reach, and though standing on something could've been an option, the rotted, moldy crates and run down trash bins made the trouble seem more than it was worth.

There was a bang, something crashing, and a screech.

Poking his head back out, he saw that the beast had left, and Zar was surrounded by a mist of smoke.



The rest of the crew, Allan and Donovan, just in time to see the main action go down. The miss, the smoke, and the flying away creature. Just before it left, both could make it out to be a large Harbor Bat, but more importantly, they could see Blackjack, crumpled on the ground with a small pool of blood gathering around her.

The remaining lights flashed and buzzed.

Zar was breathing heavy as he sat back up, the gun falling from his hand. "Shit.....fuck. I'm good, but.....fuck, Blackjack!" His voice was both worried and scared as he fully righted himself, running over next to her. "Gods damn it, you alright there?" Zar asked, stooping down and offering a hand. Part of him said she might punch him, using his vulnerable position and all, the other part didn't really care.

"F-fuck off, Zar!" Blackjack yelled, shoving past him and stumbling towards Donovan. "Get your bloody bandages and needles  together before my fuckin' face falls apart, Doc." she growled, holding her hand to her face to keep the bloodflow at least somewhat slowed.

"ZAR, GET ME MY FUCKING TOOLS" Donocan yelled "AND THEN FUCK OFF."
Donovan tears a few strips out of his coat to start a basic bandage before it gets too bad.
"look on the bright side, if you live, these will be some kickass scars.'
