<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/XJroK22.jpg)</div><strong>Barir bin Yasha</strong>- Appearance 3, Black stain of Diablerie in his aura for those with who succeed on Auspex II roll<br/><br/>Barir jogs at an easy lope, covering the distance easily as he makes his way up the river. He hoped that he wasn't getting himself too far from the proverbial land for a few reasons. Werewolves had been mentioned already more than once tonight, and he wondered if he should give Art Morgan a call before dismissing the idea. First he needed to confirm what exactly was out here, and what precisely had killed those people. Still, there was no reason to worry too much about it for now, and he reassured himself by patting his pocket and feeling the weight of the phone within. At his other hip was his sword, lying in its fake sheathe, and its comfortable, familiar weight was far more soothing than either the phone or the pistol in its holster tucked below his armpit.<br/><br/>Suddenly, something caught his eye and he went still--almost supernaturally so. Claw marks? Very strange. Something with the strength to pull itself from water up and into the tree must have considerable upper-body strength, and while he had never had the cause or opportunity to fight one of the were-creatures with which vampires shared the night (and had to allow free reign during the day), he didn't relish the thought of going toe to toe with one. He was far from full on blood, and in this area the creature had all their advantages while he was left with little to work with. Furthermore, from the tales he'd heard, werewolves were faster, stronger, more resilient, and far more terrifying than anything he might be able to do. He might be able to do something about their regeneration, but a werewolf would most likely tear him apart from before he was able to land even a single blow.<br/><br/>These thoughts and more filled his mind as he tried to recognize the claws, and potentially follow their tracks to their source, regardless of whether they became more human or remained animalistic. Meanwhile, he would do his best to stay undetected--in this case, probably the best way of avoiding a fight.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Perception + Investigation</div><div class="spoiler_body">4 hits (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4511301/)<br/><br/>Edit: Forgot a die, but it was a miss (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4511304/).</div></div>
