[Okay.

[Okay. The others are speaking up somehow--]

Mr. Priest...! They're right, there's five of us - you know you can't fight off all of us! You've lost, and you're being ridiculous, and you know it - you can't escape that by hiding away in there forever! Can you?

[INT: 25]

And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

[The voice is softer, now. It is no longer spoken into the megaphone, but whispered against the door, a soft, fervent whisper.]

And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

[The ground begins to roll - slowly at first, almost gentle, but as the priest's voice raises, so too does the pitch and roil of the earth beneath your feet. There is a horrific cracking sound, and then pieces of the church begin to rain down, the rock and crumbling roof tiles pattering down like rain.]

[Far above, thick, dark clouds have gathered. They are not the unusual shade of red that harbored the harbingers, but lightning forks across the sky, and thunder rumbles, so low and deep that you feel it in your chest.]

[Everyone roll Dex and Con.]

[Wednesday screams, pitched off her feet--

[This was a really bad idea.]

[DEX: 9]
[CON: 7]

[The force of the earthquake knocks you from your feet. As you struggle on the ground to find your feet again, one of the stones from the wall of the church shatters above you, plummeting to earth to shatter against you.]

[1 dam from the fall; 1 dam from the debris.]

[ Dex 29, con 17

She yelps and attempts to pounce out of the way as the church begins to crumble around them. ]

[You manage to keep your feet, though barely, nimbly dodging the falling debris.]

[oh what the fuck

Dex 28, Con 18]

Woah! Hey guy, we don't need to fight, let's be cool about this!

[Cha 21]

[You manage to keep your feet, though barely, nimbly dodging the falling debris.]

[ CON: 22
DEX: 27 ]

Enough! Come out and there doesn't need to be anymore fighting or killing! Your flock can go meet their god in heaven, the way it's supposed to be, and you can be free of this ridiculous burden you're imposing on yourself!

[ CHARISMA 25 ]

[You manage to keep your feet, nimbly dodging the falling debris.]

[The ground goes still; all is silent. Then, from within the church, the priest's voice lifts again, wild with some unnameable emotion.]

And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

[Above you, the dark clouds split wide; hailstones the size of golf balls begin to rain down onto the cracked pavement, making the sound as though a thousand boots feet are drumming all at once. The hail does not stop; it grows heavier, and heavier, and soon, with the ice comes blood. And soon, with the blood comes fire.]

[Everyone roll Dex and Con.]

[ Dex 25
Con 11

Noticing Wednesday get hit and realizing there's another wave coming, she whips a grav bomb into the air to shield them from the incoming hail -- dex 29 ]

[You manage to keep your feet, nimbly dodging the falling debris.]

[The grav bomb keeps the hail from falling onto you, though for now it is just hovering in the air.]

[She keeps her footing this time, healing herself up as she does so.

[She raises one arm as if to protect herself from the hail, glancing frantically around them at the others--

[This was a terrible idea.]

[DEX: 20]
[CON: 22]

[You manage to keep your feet, nimbly dodging the falling debris.]

[Holy shit this is all so unnecessary

Dex 23, Con 13

Also, calling Intensity or Yoshioka on the comms for advice. He doesn't want to wreck Hurricane's heart by destroying something/someone important]

[You manage to keep your feet, nimbly dodging the falling hail.]

[The fire scorches your skin for 1 dam.]

[It's probably best just to stay on top of this from the start, if she can.

[+2 HP]

[Yeah! He's feeling powerful!!]

Thanks, Wednesday!

[ this bible shit is FUCKED UP dodging debris and hal is one thing, but blood and fire!?

DEX 22
CON 10

]

[ Efforts at negotiating do not seem to be going well. Wednesday's gotten hurt again. And this has become rather ludicrous. She's gonna. Just go ahead and lob a grenade at the church. ]

[ DEX 29 ; Damage 7 ]

[You manage to keep your feet, nimbly dodging the falling hail.]

[The fire scorches your skin for 1 dam.]

[The grenade spins through the air, where it falls against the ancient wood of the door. When it explodes, wood shards go flying everywhere, leaving the door in ruins.]

[It is impossible to see the priest in the darkened church. His voice booms out, though, louder than ever before:]

And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

[Somewhere in the distance, someone is screaming.]

[Out beyond the walls of the churchyard, San Francisco is on fire.]

What should we do...?

[Wednesday hangs back, gazing anxiously into the body of the church.]

Cobalt-san... I think we're doing more harm than good.

Why're we even doing this again...?

[ She has no communicator she's missed 90% of the context ]

Yoshioka says if we keep fighting him it's likely to cause significant collateral damage, but he wasn't able to tell me what would even happen if we succeeded in subduing him.

Might be better to withdraw and try to find whoever's screaming, and soon.
