    Jacob and Dorian slip into the limousine. As Dorian passes James he produces a dollar bill, which is fairly impressive considering the state of his clothing. Slipping the bill into James hand he says "Keep us on the road and there will be more of the same boy."

    James opens the driver's door, steps calmly out of the limo, walks to the back reaches in and grabs Dorian by his arm, dragging him bodily out of the car.
    +1 on Might roll to grab him for a net of 5

    "You know, I was really on the fence after your little stunt with the talking snake there, but I'd like to say thank you ever so much for making the decision much easier for me."

    Holding the vampire up and away from his body in his left hand James reaches into his bag and withdraws his battery powered saw, revving the motor and sliding the safety shield out of the way.

    Dorian struggles to break free of Jame's powerful grip with all of his might but the young vampire of the White Court doesn't seem to have the strength to equal the half-troll. He looks at the saw fear clear on his face but manages to force a quick grin. Holding his hands up he says "Hey man if you wanted a bigger tip all that you had to do was ask."
    Dorian's Might roll to break free -3.

    Rey's attention becomes focused on James and his closeness to murdering the young vampire.

    "Look, James, I know you're upset. Dorian's kind of a douche, and I'd love to knock a few of his teeth out. But, we have bigger fish to fry right now. Lives more important than his are at stake if we can't get to the bottom of all this. So, could you please put him and the saw down?
    Rapport of 1+2 from invoking Peace-Keeper + (0,+,+,-) for a total of 4.

    As James revved the motor of his chainsaw, there was a blur and the leaves stirred up, swirling around Juliette as she stood, holding her arm between the chainsaw and Dorian, a cold frown set on her face.
    "James, put down the saw now. If you really want to embrace your troll instincts, think about what a war between the White Court and your family would cost your kin. If you don't want to be a bridge-dwelling psychopath, then maybe you should put down the chainsaw. Either way, you're not causing anything but suffering to yourself."
    Invoking Juliette's Princess of the White Court aspect for a +2 here. It seems appropriate.
    4d3=+,o,+,o
    I feel this is more of a Presence roll than a Rapport, in which case it's 8, but if you feel that Rapport is more appropriate, that's a 9.
    Woo, social power!

    A low growl rumbles through James's throat as he slides the safety catch back over the whirring saw blade. Glowering at Juliette, Rey, and finally Dorian he unceremoniously drops the vampire non too gently.

    "That's your only warning fuck-face. Any more smart ass remarks or killing of potential source of information and it's your ass."

    James shifts his bag to the passenger side seat, climbs into the driver's door and waits for everyone to get in before reversing to the road.
    I'm not even going to bother to roll a defense against that presence move. However, I did waste a great roll on the drive check. +++0 for a net of 4 on James's drive check.

    "Thank you for the restraint, James." Juliette slides into the back of the limo, once again taking up a relaxed position on the comfortable seats within as James puts the vehicle into gear.

    "Dr. Meyer, can you tell us anything about those serpents that just attacked us?"

    Once James has released Dorian and put himself out of earshot a bit of his swagger seems to come back. Muttering to himself quietly he climbs into the backseat. "Yeah you better walk away, go find a bridge to live under. Stupid trolls." Once has has sprawled himself across a seat he smiles at Juliette. "Thanks for the assistance Jules, I didn't know you cared so much."

    Jacob slides into the seat next to Dorian slapping the vampires legs to the ground in a fluid swat. "BoyI swear that if you don't shut that mouth I'll do it for you."

    The limo bounces a bit as James steers it backwards, skillfully avoiding the sucking mud of the small marsh they'd been driven into, but in no time at all the tires are back on solid ground. A trustworthy sense of direction and a lifetime spent in the city guide James much more accurately than any map or GPS ever could, he plots their route back towards Hartwood Acres with no difficulty whatsoever.

    "All I know for sure is that they were compelled by Phaunos, who were tried to seek out to begin with. All that I really learned is that his magic ability should not be underestimated. As for our driver, he seemed to be trapped in a Caroll poem, talking about some creature who is, in the end, defeated, though for some reason the first verse was left out. I'm not sure if it's any help at all though, beyond a general warning."

    Hawthorne Acres comes into sight all too soon. The grounds surrounding it more than surpass those of even the enormous Raith household. A brick wall two times the height of a grown man stretches lazily around the entire estate but treetops and ivy seem to show over nearly every inch of the wall. One can only imagine the jungle just waiting to greet them on the other side. Eventually James steers the car in front of a small unmanned gatehouse set to the left of a large wooden gate. More like something one would expect to find in a child's fairytale than a modern estate.

    An enormous man with wild unkempt hair barely restrained in a loose ponytail and wearing an olive green jumpsuit approaches the vehicle and peers in the window at James. He smells like compost. Tapping on the window which James is obliging enough to roll down he says "Do you have an appointment with Mr. Phaunos?"

    Wrinkling his nose at the odor, James shifts the battered limo into park, reaches into his bag with his right hand and suddenly slams the door open into the guard with his not inconsiderable strength.
    -1 on my might check for a net 5 unless the door counts as a weapon.

    Leveraging himself out of the door and striking the the flare to life, its acetylene sparks casting flowing red flames over his visage, James glares down at the guard "He asked nicely. This is as nicely as I can ask. We're going up."

    The brawny guard is shoved back a few feet before the might of James troll fueled muscles, unfortunately he seems unimpressed by his intimidating display. "You want in so bad. Fine. Go right on in, it's your funeral." The guard steps over to the gate and shoves it open with his bare hands. Beyond a well paved straight driver leads on into a a tapestry of trees and plant life.

    As James drives the limousine through the strangely alien forest that surrounds Hartwood Acres Juliette and Rey begin to feel increasingly on edge. Each of them begin to feel closed in and trapped by the leather interior of the limo. Rey looks out of the widow at the lush forest waiting for him just outside and a very odd urge comes over him. He suddenly longs to shed his clothes and transform. The urge to creep across the forest floor seeking out something small and weak is overwhelming.

    Juliette is battling with her own hunger. The beast in her chest has began clawing it's way to the surface inch by inch. When she opens her eyes she can see a car full of potential prey rather than people. All she can think of i staking one, or more, and devouring their life to the last drop.

    Unaware of the predatory urges being awoken in two of his passengers James continues driving until they arrive at what looked as though it had been built more than a hundred years ago. Hewn from hundreds of large grey stones it looked a bit modest to be called a mansion. For one thing it was only two stories tall. Four narrow chimneys jutted out of the tiled rooftop, all of them were currently producing long trails of light grey smoke which were rising into the chilly night air. More than a dozen windows barred with well carved frames of delicate looking slate dotted every wall, all of them were darkened and the curtains inside had been drawn blocking any view of what might be inside. The front door was wooden, a pair of brass lanterns holding candles had been bolted to either side of the entryway. Ivy grew up the walls in small clumps and a few small trees grew rather close to the house.

    A few wild looking men, much like the one who'd been guarding the front gate, were walking across the lawn in front of the house.

    Almost immediately after Dr. Meyers knocks the large double doors swing open to reveal a squat sallow faced man within. The man is wearing a very old fashioned looking coat and tails made up of dark mossy green and earthy brown fabrics. A powdered wig is perched atop his squarish head. Standing at a very unusual height, the top of his head is barely level with Rey's belt, he looks out into the night holding a silver candlestick with three burning candles.

    "Good evening gentlemen," The squat man looks betweens Rey's legs spotting Juliette who is hanging back towards the rear of the group. "and lady. My master Sir Phaunos bids you all welcome to his home, enter and enjoy what hospitality his house has to offer."

    "Good, good, lead on", Dr. Meyer says with a curt bow. "Good to see civility isn't totally lost out here, though perhaps a little training for the gate guard could improve the initial impression."

    "Sorry, my good man, but the hospitality of Phaunos is something I'd rather not endure. Direct me to the faun, please, and be quick about it. I have no patience for morsels like you."
    Juliette glared as she spoke, her hunger sharpening her tongue. Without a meal, she was bound to snap soon, and that would not be a good thing in the halls of a Summer Court faerie. Excess just felt too accursedly easy, and she had no desire to kill.

    Looking at the burly figures patrolling the lawn the butler glowers a bit. "I'm afraid that even a good caning would not be sufficient to flog the insolence out of that sorry lot sir. Step this way please."

    Following the butler down the hall your feet creak with each step on spotless wooden floors. Numerous oil paintings hanging from the wall portray a variety of scenes and portraits. The flickering candles lighting your way make it difficult to determine the exact dimensions of the house as you make you way down the hall, it also gives the eyes of the figures in the painting an unsettling appearance.

    The butler leads you into a a large well furnished sitting room that would have been more at home in the Victorian era than today. Several green overstuffed armchairs with dark wooden legs and an equally green couch are arranged around the roaring fireplace. A copper grate has been arranged in front of the blazing logs in the fireplace, it has been shaped in the likeness of a tree with strings of ivy stretching across it. A heavy rug in the center of the room is sprawling over the floor, it features a likeness of the mythological figure Pan playing the reed pipe that shares his name while being admired by a trio of women. There is a long window seat covered in soft looking pillows, thick green curtains hang in front of the window blocking what would certainly be a lovely view of the lawns outside. Several round topped wooden tables with unusually narrow bases have been loaded down with silver trays full of all manner of pastries and beverages. Wine, lemonade, crystal clear water, and what looks to be a variety of fruit juice are all in sight. A large bookcase with a glass face and filled with a collection of hundreds of books bound in dark leather takes up one of walls. The sitting room is occupied by a ingle young man wearing brown trousers and a high collared white shirt. He has blonde hair and blues eyes. He stands in the corner of the room like a statue not seeming to notice anything that is going on around him. More candles and the fire give the room ample light, although they do cast odd shadows across the walls, ceiling, and floor.

    "My master will join you presently, he asks that you enjoy some refreshments while you wait." "I have been instructed to see that your specialized needs are seen to as well if you would like Lady Raith. This young man is yours to do with as you will." The butler turns and leaves marching back out into the hall and vanishing.

    After ten minutes a narrowly built man with hanging dark curls of hair and a tightly trimmed beard appears in the doorway. He is holding a silver topped cane cast in the likeness of a stag's head in his left hand. Wearing a high collared white shirt beneath a striped grey suit jacket and matching pants he strikes a rather handsome figure as he enters the room. "Good evening, I am Steven Phaunos, I apologize for keeping you waiting." Phaunos steps over to the table picks up a wine glass and fills it with a rather large does of the red wine before settling himself into the armchair closest to the fire. Swirling the glass and holding it under his nose he takes a small sip before looking back up at the room and the people around him. "I welcome you all to my home, I hope you've found everything to your liking."

    Dr. Meyer bows deeply. "Quite, though you are probably aware of the, ahem, adventurous journey we had over here, much like the hours preceding them were. Are you aware of the current events surrounding the White Court and their property.... misfortune? "

    Keeping his back to the wall opposite the fireplace James watches impassively as the conversation plays out.
