They're fading away to teleport, yes.<br/><br/>And Jefepato, here's the quick version. A spirit already on the island had a meeting with another spirit (the decanthrope), which was planned before it knew about the Exalted being here.<br/><br/>Also heading to the island, following one of the bodies that the decanthrope has, were two Technocrats, who were trying to figure out why a vamp's toy was suddenly going to a new place and generally not acting like a blood doll.<br/><br/>Then shit went down badly, as they tried to get rid of the two spirits, got sidewinded by the extra bodies, and now are not about to take chances because, hey. You've apparently got either their summoners or cultists of a higher ranking spirit here, and they are now outnumbered approximately far too many to two.
