Rune felt like a compass standing on the North Pole. The scent they had tracked seemed to permeate everywhere and everything yet led to no where else but exactly where they were. All she knew was the roogies were there, and she had no more concept of what or who was waiting around them.
As the first person through, she cringed at every little scrape and echo to waft up behind. Of course she had to wonder how in the world anyone (even a rougarou) dragged a victim in here. For all the threat looming nearby, the question really bothered her. Maybe the victims were awake at the time of captivity and forced to crawl on threat of force? Maybe they were dragged with rope and pulley? Maybe they were kids? maybe they were body parts shoved into backpacks. Maybe she was tracking the wrong scent? Rune stood there thoughtfully, puzzling it out, while Hood and Aria arrived.
Like Hood's question, she guessed the answer didn't really matter. Aria pulled the swords, and Rune nodded, impressed. She knew nothing about how to use swords beyond rule number one: stab the other guy; but Aria sure looked like she did. Frankly, Rune wasn't interested in getting close enough to the bastards to stab one since she liked to keep her distance.
With that, she cocked the SMG, checked all her supplies and consulted the new update on the glasses from Aria, swinging her glance around in that direction. How did Aria know where they were??? And how many there were! Two. The puzzle expanded.
"Aria, we really need to have a chat over a good..." she flipped Hood a smirk, "beer when we get done with all this."
But they seemed to both be looking to her for guidance, and Rune was accepting of the responsibility. So she needed to make some sort of plan. Whatever the plan was, she was not willing to sacrifice anyone to rid the world of a monster.
"Aria, if you're sure of the location, we have to make sure to save them. And honestly, thats the priority. No matter what Tehya says." she scoffed.
"I'm all for cowboy style: kick down the door, guns blazing." Surprising, huh?
It had looked like they came in some sort of back way, so they probably had the element of surprise in their favor. But either way, they needed to make a decision and fast before that advantage was gone... Or worse yet, before the poor victims were dead.
"Lets start out low and slow and get an idea of what we are up against. Then lets make it rain!"
