This story has similarities to Star Wars, now that I think about it.

So I've cooked up a few plans on how Maria is going to overthrow Alexandra, and I'd like to check them with you to see if they're viable, FL. I'll send them as PM's if you don't mind.
So where are we going to start? In the base, on the way to the dropsite or already in the field?
The moment one of the minion's eyes started to glow red Gehrman expected a ranged attack, considering the Doll itself was more inclined to sitting back instead of charging forward with punches and kicks. As the red beam shot forward, Gehrman used the doorway to its advantage, and used it as cover against the attack. He leaned from his cover and shot back with his nailgun, likely missing due to being pinned down by enemy fire.

"I'm not seeing as much crushing as I see cowardice, fiend!"

This was a problem to Gehrman. He couldn't enter through the door unless he wanted to get shot, and the constant beams the minions shot meant he couldn't get a clear shot of his own in. He considered flanking for a moment, but that would grant the Doll enough time to spread its minions around.
Speaking about fighting, have you set any rules regarding combat resolution between PC's, or is it completely up to us to decide?

"Indeed she has," Maria answered with certainty. "But soon she will pay for her crimes, and we will start an eternal age of prosperity."

She landed back on her wheelchair. "But I can't do it without you, Eponine. Aurora needs us. The world needs us." She held her hand towards her.

"Take my hand, and let's make our dream come true."
His gun arm unflinching and his eyes tightening, Gehrman couldn't help but keep his guard up. He was used to the Dolls making the first move against him once his hostility was made clear, but this one stayed back and attempted to provoke him, goading him into attacking first. In his time of slaying these creatures, the only ones who did so were more intelligent, and thus far more dangerous. He also didn't forget the missing woman, who was likely still hiding. He had to keep sharp, and not fall into any trap the Doll seemed to be setting.
He decided to counter the banter.

"Is that what you call your spawn? A fiend of lore should know better than to spout obvious contradictions like that. Why don't you come and show me how deadly your actual hands are?"
Maria's voice turned pleasing and comforting as she spoke.

"Oh Eponine, I understand how you feel," she said, and with her magic, slowly rose into the the air from her wheelchair. She floated slowly towards Eponine and then around her like an angel without wings. " But I must take this drastic measure to preserve peace in Aurora. Alexandra is too vacuous to rule her. She simply twiddles her thumbs and acts like a figurehead while the neighboring cities and nations gain in warriors and land, ultimately bringing war and suffering to Aurora and its people too. Were I to become queen, I would bring order to Aurora and all of those lands, until the entire world is in eternal peace and rest.

She now stopped and caressed her cheek as she floated before her. "Don't you remember the dream we had, my dear Eponine?" She then whispered into her ear:

"A world of absolute order. We can achieve that, you need only to believe in me and we will have it, together."
Gehrman stood his ground and stared at the entity that appeared, his grip on his nailgun tightening. He noted the doll's ability to create servant creatures, and decided to retreat back to the doorway in case he had to bottleneck the minions. After a moment of looking at Nuul, he was reminded of something he has read years ago.

"The Umbra Infinium has records of your deeds, Keeper of Secrets! You lure mortals with forbidden knowledge, and then consume their souls! My only desire is your banishment from our plane!"

"They went to the local church. There's a big event going on, you know. Wish I could have gone, but, eh, the hours are good, at least," Eren said, before smiling widely, "If that's all, then I shall return to my work. Thank you for stopping by, sir. Have a nice da-"

The blood curdling scream went through the house.


That was undoubtedly a human wail, coming from under the house. I was right all along in the notion that there were foul entities afoot, and this woman was hiding it!

"That damn cat. I have to take care of that bye sir," Eren said, before closing the door. She immediately turned the lock and bolted it shut.


"Wait-"

But before Gehrman could finish his sentence the door was slammed shut in his face, giving him further proof that the woman was involved.

"Nyarlodammit!" He cursed out loud, and aimed his Nail Driver at the door's lock. He activated his weapon, and sent the door falling as it was unhinged from the impact of his blow. He stepped inside with his nailgun drawn and pointed forward. He knew that she would try and ambush him, judging by the way she stayed silent and unseen.

"I do not seek to harm you, lady. But if you try to protect the doll, I won't hesitate to kill you as well, and have you judged upon Hostimor!"
I think I'll wait for Adorabadass to post before I do, unless he's okay with me doing two in a row.
