Aum-Ra
HP: 4

Aum-Ra lands at a penthouse door and changes back to neutral.

Then calmly knocks.

Then Troy blows out a window.

"Darn: I was going to try Candygram."

Aum-Ra turns into a shadowy shape with only her eyes visible, then oozes under the door.

Variable: Concealment 4 (all visual; Limited [shadowy areas]), Insubstantial 1

You find yourself on the ground floor of the apartment building. It looks rather dingy and run down, not at all like you'd expect for a downtown high class apartment. The carpet is threadbare and soiled, the lights are flickering, and the walls are cracked and yellowed with age.

There is a staircase going up, a Superintendents office, and hallways heading out in all directions with rows of doors.

Speaking of doors, when you turn, you see that the door you came through is gone. there is just another wall where the entrance should be.

(Make a notice check).

Troy reconfigures his armor's weapon systems and fires concussive beams at a window away from Dark Seraph.

Variable to Blast 12 (PF: Accurate, Split) and Super-senses 4 (Radar)
Take 10 at window opposite Dark Seraph; DC27 Toughness

The glass shatters, but something unusual happens.

Behind the glass is nothing. Just an inky black void where Dark Seraph should be. Around the edges of the hole you see that Dark Seraph seems to still be standing there.

"Okay. What?"

Troy blows a hole in the wall left of the window, and if its clear flies in.

Same numbers

(Make a notice check).

I arrived on the ground floor even though I tried to sneak into the penthouse?

Notice: 1d20+10=17

"Wait, how'd we end up--"

"Haunted house."

[Yeoman]

Ali ponders what's going on before flying in recklessly.

Kn: Physical sciences to see if I can figure out what's going on: got a 5, HP to reroll: 1d20+11=23

"They definately know we're here now," Xiao says, "And I can provide some countermeasure to their dark magics once we're inside."

Maven

Troy blows a hole in the wall left of the window, and if its clear flies in.

Same numbers

And same result, a yawning black void.

If you fly in, you find yourself next to Aum Ra.

In your scientific opinion, Whatever those Crown guys are doing, its making physics go stupid.

[Kreuzritter]

Xiao dives in after Troy, not waiting for any counterorder

[kenseido]

Maven

Yeah, troy flies into the black void.

"Oh, hey, Aum Ra. Looks like we get to find them the hard way. I am pretty sure that was an illusion in the window."

[EnigmaticOne]

Nothing I have to offer at the moment, so you guys know why I ain't posting.

"Wait, how'd we end up--"

"Haunted house."

(Yes.)

Out of the corner of your eye, you see something run down a hallway, when you turn and look its gone.

[Yeoman]

"I gotta find people who don't jump into hell mouths to hang out with."

She calls back to Relentless, "Hop off if ya ain't goin' in," and then, after giving him a few seconds, dives in after the others.

[SilvercatMoonpaw]

Aum-Ra
HP: 4

Out of the corner of your eye, you see something run down a hallway, when you turn and look its gone.

"Don't look now, Troy, but we've got barely-seen moving things."

"Follow me."

"Um, if you lose sight of us in shadows just let us know."

Aum-Ra starts moving into the house, heading up, still in shadow form.

[Kreuzritter]

did xiao arrive where they were or is the shadow portal reacting 'badly' to his holiness?
