[b][color=9999ff]Skills[/color][/b]: Nakai, Pavati[/center][hr]	She did not know what this thing was and she pitied the beast slightly, yet it clearly intended to do them harm. She would have liked to learn what it was and what forces drove it to act as it did, but now was not the time. She threw one of her precious ebony axes at the creature, hitting her mark as the blade tore through the shoulder and embedded itself in the steps behind it. Depending on the force of the throw, it would take a fair bit of effort in order to free the blade and since she did not intend on leaving herself entirely defenseless, this next axe wouldn't be thrown - unless, of course, Vlad had brought with him several spare throwing axes for her but she doubted it. Given that she had never really thrown an axe at a shadow monster before, she was a bit intrigued to see the result. The smoke seemed to be lighter where the limb had been, a little bit clearer, and it must have been solid before. [color=#9999ff]"How [i]sublime[/i],"[/color] Virginia whispered, making a pun that would most likely be lost on those present. 

	The auburn haired woman behind her had used her trained skills, as glowing runes formed on the ground beneath the creature and it lashed out. Her new friend, Ny, managed to harm the beast and Virginia was hoping that they might be able to drive the creature in a different direction, that way she could retrieve her axe and gain another weapon in this fight. The windows had shattered as crows entered the Church and the entire experience was wondrous and lively to her - it was so sinister and macabre! Alarmingly and beautifully, the monster was increasing in size as well, despite the flames. The monster had so much smoke and such to it... she had to wonder if it somehow was incorporating the flames? 

	One of the Russians then started to shout information and Virginia's mind instantly went to Mosi - with the pure flames that had come when she was burned. [color=#9999ff]"Oh dear Mosi, if only I had brought some of you here to cremate..."[/color] Virginia mused. Part of her thought about suggesting that they take the purest person here and burn a portion of them - nothing too great as to likely kill them - and see if that would suffice, but she doubted the others would take kindly to that idea. There was likely an alternative pathway that they could try first. [color=#9999ff]"Do you know what sort of prayer - Christian prayer or any sort?"[/color] Virginia called back to the Russian, standing her guard should the monster try something else.

[b][color=ff6600]Skills[/color][/b]: Lorcain, Deasmhumhnach [/center][hr]	Maeve used her trained skill of Lorcain, unearthing an ancient Celtic site and causing the runic symbols to softly appear. It seemed to cause distress to the creature and for that she was grateful, especially with the combined efforts of the others. She was stunned as a flock of birds flew in through the windows and seemed to be directed in combat, having never seen anything like it before. She heard the information on how to fight this from one of the men towards the front - they needed prayer and purity, as well as positioning this vile thing over the altar. The explanation suited her - only the power of god could vanquish this foe. While she had used a Celtic site in defense, that didn't change that she was a Catholic at her heart and would be a proud Catholic until the day she died. 

	The pagan girl irritated her - [i]of course[/i] it would be Christian prayer. The other belief systems were simply nonsense. Why would anyone expect anything else to work in this situation? They needed purity and prayer, they were in a Church, the vision specified the altar - so logically, it had to be [i]Christian[/i]! [color=ff6600]"Ladies, let's 'erd de beast over ter de altar, shall we? An' yer, lad, yer stay 'ere where 'tis safe,"[/color] Maeve said, singling out William with the last part. The women with her were competent from what she could tell - Colette and Millicent both had their heads on right, at least so it seemed. She figured she could use the trained skill of Deasmhumhnach to attempt to fight the beast and push it towards the altar. However, she then got a better idea. Riada could stun the Soulless - why not try it on this monster?
