moves. The rest of the world becomes muted, blurred, like a half-remembered dream as she sprints across the room, the lightning-like creature frozen in mid-recovery as she takes hold of a wooden chair and comes up behind it. Flashes of dreamlike images threaten to overwhelm her, the feeling of pouncing on prey, warm flesh under her claws... wait, claws?
as the lightning-creature
detonates from the violent attack, so does the chair she'd used as a weapon, but that was fine. She was here now. Blood thunders in her ears, a wordless assurance. She was the Hunter. These were nothing but prey. There was no doubt as to how this would end.
CRITICAL HIT! 24 Damage! Prey Slaughtered! - You have recalled the process by which you can harden your nails into reaving claws. You may now spend 10 Blood to have your unarmed attacks gain a Quality of 1x for the remainder of the scene.
By manifesting both the Hunter's Claw and Power of Blood abilities, you have achieved new power. You may spend 20 blood in order to force your target to make an Endurance test against your Passive Strength (your Strength Skill +40). If this test is failed, they are knocked Prone and lose their action for the current turn. In either case, the target is Grappled, though they can attempt to break the grapple as usual with an action.
Meanwhile, Albert was undergoing his own revelation. He gathered up his emotions, his willpower, every ounce of mental might he could, and he fed them to the
other, until it felt like it would burst out of his skin like a hatchling from an egg, and then, with a distorted howl, it did. An enormous, emaciated hound, eyeless, with a mouth that stretched well beyond that of a mundane dog, the entire forward portion of its body seeming to unhinge and split open as it growls. It fairly glows with a raging, overbearing power, before diving into the floor itself, vanishing, faint ripples travelling over the surface of the wood as if it were water.
130 PPE Reserved.While Albert could dully recognize the strain he was putting on his mind, feeling the beginning of a migraine headache begin to set in, he could not deny the sense of
power that washes over him as he shares in the senses of this beast, ready to strike at a moment's notice.
But before he could, two more of the lightning-creatures move, turning upon the one that had killed their fellow and leaping into the Vampire's body, scorching her veins from the inside before emerging once more, their crackling energy more violent,
angrier, almost. Can't imagine why.

Dom reacts on a level below conscious thought. 'Don't think', he can almost hear at the back of his mind. 'Some of 'em can toy with your mind, make you second-guess yourself. Don't let them. Jus' square your shoulders, stay calm, and aim for their center of mass. Don' matter what it is, I ain't met nothin' yet that won't go down to a few shots in the guts.' Good advice, if from a less good source. Loud, sharp rapports ring out as rounds slam into the body of the lightning-creature, driving it back as sparks and blasts of lightning spray off of its form.
CRITICAL HIT! 24 Damage!Long drills with all variety of ranged weapons has given you a certain amount of skill with their use. When performing Attack Actions with a gun or casting spells using a gun as an Attuned Focus, add one-half of your Dex or Attunement (whichever would not normally be applied), rounded down, to your accuracy.
Lilly tries to spin her way around to reach the one attacking her fellow student, to help her fight it off, but doesn't
quite plan for the slickness of the ground under her feet or for an errant blast of wind, which combine to spin her off her feet and onto her backside, spoiling her attack.
Bernie herself, however, has no such problems, feeling the magic rise up in her blood, filling her with its power, before erupting from her outstretched hand, crashing into the middle of the figure that'd struck her. It didn't deal much damage to the creature, but the feeling of power was palpable, if unpracticed, and the creature stumbles backward.
7 Damage! -10 Fortune.The lightning creatures aren't dissuaded, however, striking back with renewed ferocity. The one Dom had shot was still too stunned to strike back, but its partner had somehow gotten around to his side while he was firing at its fellow, and he can't entirely avoid its surging force.
7 Damage to DomMeanwhile, while Bernie's bolt doesn't seem to have done much damage, it's certainly rattled her foe, and its own counterattack goes wide, though only by bare inches.
