The Port Portal was as expected, swarming with smaller demons, the best part was that it was quite funneled down the tunnel leading into the port, so it was easy to control. However her job was to close the portal beyond the swarm, so cutting through them quickly was the better idea, and then she can destroy the demon gate beyond. There seemed to be a side path that wasn't as thick with demons, leading through an abandoned facility wedged on top of the tunnel too. It seemed like it might be quite a detour, on the other hand if she went through the tunnel she would be dealing with almost literally a swarm, but she can see the portal just beyond that swarm, meaning it was in distance-terms, quite a short trip.

It seems the two... Or three, had decided not to engage in combat. As soon as the two made that abundantly clear, more demons began to crop up from the nooks and crannies of the area around them, they were all still the lesser demons, just Scarecrows and Marionettes. The lizard-like Blades and Assault that seeped in from the nearby forest were on the prowl, and in the distance, a clap of thunder could be heard... There were some rather powerful demons in the city right now. Still, it looks like these three were going to have to deal with a small swarm before they can break through and move to their objectives. They are free to join up after the short skirmish, or go their separate ways.

Gideon's rampage of blood left the last of the gang members shaken inside the warehouse, but the leader whilst still out of Gideon's sight, already began preparations to run and turn tail. From outside as he was entering, Gideon could hear conversations that went down and told him as much... The leader was in full self-preservation mode, as he prepared his escape, and honestly he'd probably be gone by the time Gideon entered.

The watercraft was not going to be that form of escape, as Gideon was on the waterside of the warehouse facing the small pier. As soon as he entered, he saw a jeep start crashing off through the front door as what little was left of the gang charged him with futility. The roads were not favorable right now, swarmed with demons and debris, but it would be best if he didn't let him get far.

It seems Akoni, and the angel Kushiel had made their choice, although that only left young Silas. Would he try and cover more ground going through the hospital? Or play it safe and run in a larger crowd with the other two? In any case, they had started off for the crypt, while Fiametta stood watch over the courtyard like a keeper.

Entrance to the crypt was rather straightforward, a switch that opened the back of a tomb, with stairs leading down. As they entered the darkness, with what light they could create to show the way, they realized that this crypt was quite spacious. Likely it connected into some kind of cavern network, in the distance and darkness they could hear the sounds of monsters, and the sound of bare footsteps, likely from whatever lurked in the catacombs themselves, but otherwise it was mostly darkness. With what little light they had, they could see a kind of chandelier up above... It seemed to be a magical construct that responded to energies, including fire. They could probably light these to make their trip through here easier. They can see tiny sources of light on the horizon of the darkness too, suggesting this place is quite active right now.

As Blair began to make her way through the garden she would come upon the cathedral proper, although the door was locked... Try as she might, the door seemed to have some kind of magical barrier around it, on top of that, it was probably too sturdy without magic anyways. After a few moments of looking around, the sound of crashing wood would grab her attention as three blood-covered men climbed out of what looked like a cellar door. They had a maddening look about them, and as soon as one of them properly stood up, he began to scream with intense agony as what looked like a bloody monster with eyes for a body, and bleeding fleshy arms without skin, coming out of his head. It stumbled and fell to the ground, but the arms picked it back up, and acted like it was the main body as it moved unpredictably. The metamorphosis was taking place for the other two as well, these didn't seem to be particularly sturdy enemies, but the way they moved could make it tricky to choose an attack route. The other two didn't seem to be able to do anything while they were transforming however.
