"Not surprising he would flee there." States Adrian, watching the others sheepishly test the book. "They sound to be the dumbest and most violentest in the city, sure a few well crafted words from the doctor who gave them those hooks is all it will take to have them wrapped around his finger." Adrian sheathes his scimitar then. "Guess we best hurry then, catch them before they are all on guard."

::Meanwhile, high above the clinic, being careful not to be spotted by a trigger happy watchmen or gang member, Iole glides over the city streets, still carrying Oliver on her back. With her free hand, she listens through the mirror::
Did you hear that Ollie? Sounds like we're about to get in a tumble with the Hook gang.

"Tats gonna be a probem, it is." Replies Oliver, thrusting his hand forward, pointing towards the airdocks. "Tey hang a'ound ta docks, mos'ly in ta lower 'evels were ta oinkers don'dare go. Gonna be dark and dir'y, it will. S'ould we go ahead or wait for ta oters, Iole?"

We're not going to make it there before them. With me carrying you, Eva's the faster flyer. And Lillith isn't far behind if she takes off. But that's alright. August will be holed up in the gang's lair. But I don't think someone like him is going to count too heavily on stupid violent people like the Hook gang. So he's going to send Rena to the front of the battle with whatever trick she can throw at them. He trusts her enough. When we get there, I'll change, plow through the gang and Rena's monsters, to get to her. Then you can slip right past anything else. August is all yours.

"Well alright then."
::She grabs the book off the table and calmly walks back to the others.::
"I'm ready to go when you guys are."

::Eva had found a spot to land as she kneeled down before responding to Lillith::
"I hope you found something good...things had been a bit dull up here unfortunately..."
::She frowned a bit before looking out at the city::
"Was things too difficult down there?"

We're alright. August and Echidna have already left the clinic. And... Ames is dead. We were right. He knows we're after him. He's seeking protection from The Hook Gang. From what I heard, they have a headquarters at the docks. Head there. We'll meet up with you soon. Relay the information to Jas and Iole as well. We'll need to be full force.
::She stuffs the mirror back into her coat pocket and points the way out::
Come on.
::Without another word, she sprints for the exit. A fierce feeling of vengeance burns in her chest. One she hasn't felt since her time in The Coven. The only thing on her mind right now is making August pay. For Oliver, for the women he had slaughtered, for Ames, for all of them. This time he would be the weak one::

"Iole, les ge'ta docks fast before any of ta oters." Oliver tells Iole, calling her attention towards the docks once again. "I kno'f a place were ta gangs won be payin much attention!"

::The two renegade members of the group make their way to an area near the docks. Iole drops back to the ground to avoid being spotted::
Alright, looks like we were lucky. We beat the others here. So how are we going to slip past them?

Once on the ground in the dingy dark places of the docks, hidden in a crevice beside a warehouse, Oliver leads Iole to a spot along a rickety old airdock. "Here." He says pointing to a ladder leading under the docks. "Go down and un'er. Ser'ice routes trough ta dock, go s'raight inta Hook Gang territory. Com'on." Oliver takes her hand and brings her down the ladder with him, into a narrow, grimy, slightly frightening dark passage lined with rusty pipes and mold. Oliver guides Iole through the passage, rushing along at a quick pace. His eyes adjusting quickly to the darkness. Its a few minutes of walking when Oliver suddenly stops, ushers Iole to not say a word as he points above him. There, resonating through down are voices, grungy, crude voices that curse and spit. The talking is interrupted by the sound of stone sliding against steel, sharping stones against crude hooks and blades.
Oliver continues on, his attentive ears listening astutely for the familiar voice of August or the mad songs of Rena. With each step closer to his goal, his heart races and blood boils with anticipation. Revenge is close at hand.

*Jas was heading towards the docks, but decided to check in with the others* Eva, Iole, either of you two find anything?

::Eva flew up and started making her way towards the docks when she heard Jas::
Head towards the docks Jas, they ran off over there...
::She cut the mental link to think for herself::
Iole has been acting a bit strangely...even after we left...*sigh* knowing that girl she's gonna do something reckless...she's too much like me than I like to admit...but I won't tell Lillith or Rainii that...
::She gave herself a slight grin before speeding up her way towards the docks::

This is taking far too long.
::Through the floorboards, Iole and Oliver can hear a muffled conversation above them and the distinct knocking of shoes against the floor, pacing inside the warehouse above them. The voice is distinctly Augusts.::
The ship was suppose to be here, she assured me that it would be here. *frustrated sigh* We don't have much longer, Miss Williams. Every second we wait, the closer our enemies get. I can feel their hot breath on my neck as we stand here, and it makes my hair stand on end in a most sickly way.
::There's tapping of a foot right above them, it lasts for a moment, then moves away, toward what must be the front of the warehouse.::
To make matters worse, we're still lacking that one last piece... I do hope that this delay is her doing the job she assured us would be complete before we got ourselves into this position. *Pause in speech* Vile vultures those... creatures are out there. Why of all does the Hook Gang have this territory? I sorely lack their ability to think, much less defend this position.
::The rant carries on like this, August complaining about the situation at hand.::

::Rena's voice is heard next::
What is this that I hear on the breath of the wind? Further into our web they spin. Heading this way I can feel sweet Lilly, heart pounding and ready to do something silly. And with her also I can feel Rainii Loire, the sorceress with hope that burns like fire.
Our protectors are no match for them, to rely on them could mean our end. Shall I go out to greet them and play, while safe in the warehouse you can stay?

::Worried about their enemies hearing them, Iole uses her thoughts to talk to Oliver::
Good, she can't sense us. She can only sense Lillith and Rainii because they're sorceresses. This means a sneak attack is still an option. But we're outnumbered in here. I'll need you to help me get to Rena though. We'll have to wait until the others get here. She'll go out to fight and she'll be too distracted to stop me. And with her out there, that means August will be unprotected. After you help me get to her, he's all yours.

::Eva arrived a little bit outside the docks as she kept herself hidden in the clouds::
I'm here....and it looks heavily guarded...sounds like fun to me...
::She cracked her knuckles as her ring started glowing::
May I please wreck massive havoc now...
::She smirked as everyone heard it even Iole who she was sure was smirking::

::Unable to speak telepathically, Lillith speaks through her mirror to Eva, who can hear her perfectly::
That might work actually. You'll make one heck of a diversion to draw August's protection out. Brawl to your heart's content.

::There comes an ear piercing screech as a chair slides against the old wooden floor with the creaking of weight pressing down upon its surface as, what sounds like, August taking a seat.::
Go and support them but, I will not sit idly by during the fight. Oh no, I have plans that may give us an edge if you can stall them long enough, something I doubt will be any trouble for the madness of yours girl. Now, to arms, to arms, mad woman.

"But..." Oliver whispers into Iole's ear. "If Lillith sees me, is al'over. She won'let me ges near. 'aybe if ya wait til' Rena 'eaves an follow her un'er here, ya can ges ta drop on her whi'e ta gang is busy wit'a others?" He explains, trying to figure out a plan so Lillith won't see him. "I'l guide ya, don worry about tat, not one bit."

::Rainii stands next to Lillith, waiting to find out what their next move was. She had already put the book away for safe keeping, though she keeps worrying abut the possibility of it being taken again.::
I have to trust it'll be fine, I have to focus on what's up ahead.
::She massages her temples, trying to rid herself of a headache that had built up. She glances over at Lillith speaking to Eva through the mirror.::
Eh, I'll ask her what the plan is in a minute. No sense in bothering her when she's busy.
