Kitting up first sounds like a fine idea.
Prep, then become the ghostbuster! Or the ghost friend. Ya know.
I concur with the others, Lets go gear up, then come back and evict the 'geist
Alright, time to go back home, grab what we need, and finish this off.

The trick to doing weird things like carrying a jar of mulch and a mop into a library is to pretend you're supposed to be there.

Nyeh... Go home and kit up - Or chase that rat if it's still there.
Lets go home and get the stuff.
Check if the rat still there, obviously

No point trying anything with just what I have here. Now I know what I'm up against, it should be pretty straightforward with proper tools. I can have a look at the rat, too, if I see it.

Do those librarians want the 'geist around or something? What does everyone have to make everything so hard for us?

It's not as though they can tell it's there. They probably think it's teenage hooligans or something. Innocents, remember?

In any case, I should be going.



Combat roll: 2  vs. 3 (Rat's attack fails)

There's definitely something more than natural about this rat. I can stick around and fight, or make a break for it. Silver's anathema to incarnate spirits, so my shiv will cut like a hot knife through butter, but it's short and this jacket isn't much of a defense against those teeth and claws.

I think it's a feral spirit of some kind. The same thing as is responsible for werewolves, if it takes root in a human host. In a rat, they just make the host more dangerous - sometimes they kill cats. But, y'know, a rat is a rat and sooner or later it gets hit by a car, poisoned, starves, or dies of old age. I don't know what's with this one that it's stalking me and so eager to pick a fight.



1.  > Valour and discretion haven't got a divorce in the time you were at the library. Cut and run.
2.  > Go for the throat. You've got the size advantage.
3.  > Play it slow. Back off, try and trap it.
4.  > _

Go for the trap/bind. I'm telling you, even if its a rat, people keep rats as pets all the time. So if we were to keep this one as a pet, train it, treat it well...

ATTACK RAT!

Also, purposeful possession could be a thing - use the Wererat's power without the loss of control, that kinda deal.

Um, even if we trap it how do we get it home where our ritual stuff is?
Although I think it might already belong to somebody else.
Sure, I guess, trap it if we can, but keep that shiv ready to react in case it tries that again.

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

I've got a bit of space, I should be able to pull out the salt. I don't know if it'll be perfect, but it should do something.

Deftness: 3 + 0 = 3 [Partial failure]



Combat Roll: 2 vs. 3 [Rat's attack succeeds]





Alright Mel you can still salvage this just stop screaming for a second and

Deftness: 2 + 0 = 2 [Failure]



Great. The salt's mostly spilt from the bag, but at least it does look like the rat doesn't like it.

I can try and salvage the salt to corral the rat, or kill it, or just run. My ankle hurts like fury, but it's not enough to stop me.

Yeah, I'm in favor of rubbing the rat in the salt plan. It's already spilled and we're probably not scooping it up again, we should try to use it.

Happy Spring Festival/Lunar New Year!



Regular update again tomorrow or the day after. Unfortunately I will increasingly have university workload to deal with, so updates are going to slow. Hopefully not too far, though!
