TOIL AND TROUBLE ❄ PART 2

They say to never split the party but this Halloween, they absolutely need to. A quick flyby of the Sandersons' house shows it's empty - they're out trying to find the children that stole their magic book.

In the meantime, they have other problems. They are seriously outnumbered by the witches and there are still un-evacuated children in the town. They know that Sarah Sanderson will likely soon sing her song to lure children to wherever the Sandersons' intend to feed on them. There are also allies to try to gather, and other witch problems that have surfaced.

There is nothing else for it. The Guardians have to split up in the hopes the situation will get stable enough they can find Jamie's classmates who stole the book before the Sandersons do.

Or hope they can run down the clock until dawn, when they'll disappear in the light of day.

OOC DETAILS
❅ Format: The mod will be using prose because multiple npcs may need to be written speaking but players can pick any format they want, including actionspam.

❅ NPCing: This part of the plot will have mod npcing. If you can, please try to tag at least about once a day to your respective threads so the mod can try to block out some semi-predictable time for npc tags.

❅ Status effects: There will be more dangerous witches here. Witches have magic and that means curses and other injuries the myth healing might not instantly fix. (Magical burns, etc.) You can play with this as you want. Spells and effects can either wear off in a short amount of time, wear off when the plot is over when day breaks, or need magical healing intervention at the Pole. Player choice.

❅ Long-term effects: Players who go with some kind of status effect for a character can optionally have long-term consequences from it if they like.

❅ Environment: Feel free to manipulate the environment in each setting location. You will often have whole setting areas to work with or even the whole open town. In some places, you absolutely can hotwire a car to run over a witch.

That makes him actually smile, and it's a fond one. "That is more than many will give me." Not that he was seriously considering abusing her trust before, but now he'll feel bad if he does it by accident.

He watches, somewhat awkwardly, as her wound gets stitched up. "Is there anything I can do for you? Asgardians usually prefer drink to magic when it comes to distracting from the pain of wound treatment, but I have some spells I have used on myself."

"Thank you-" Elle says sincerely "-but I'd prefer not to. I like to know what my body's telling me, and I'm never sure how other places' magic will interact with mine."

She gives him a slightly crooked smile. Some of the mask is slipping now that she's getting treated, and that Loki's proven himself as an ally.

"You should probably get back to Burgess. You're one of our heavy hitters, they may need you. Just, uh- like I said to Jack before. It's probably best not to mentioned what happened. I'll let people know after they get back."

Of course, she fails to specify exactly how long after they get back she'll tell them, but she doubts that Loki will call her out on it.
