"Well that escalated quickly" thought Marco
"but the further we are from these people the better. They are certain that we are heading toward death without them and yet they toss us out." Marco watched the invisible van gets away. It was cold and he was angry.
"Anyone knows where the nearest settlement is? I have a disguise kit with me, some cosmetics and wigs it should buy us some time."It was only few long minutes later when Marco was certain that he was not acting in anger - but doing what he felt was right that he gave a mental command to Wendy.
"Lovely Wendy, it was a process to learn why I came to this world. At first I thought that I came to this hellhole for Yelena - but she was right. I did it for me, because there is truth in life and truth in death. I needed to witness first hand that monsters like Nikolai exist. I accept my role in this world - most people deserve mercy but some people deserve to die.
What good is a pacifist assassin? Now I understand that I develop exactly as I should have. I am exactly what I was designed to be. I am the hammer, the left hand used to slay the monsters. Nikolai deserves no mercy as showing him mercy is showing cruelty to innocents. When confronted by a man like that one, even pacifists must take a stand. He killed countless of innocents, traded slaves and showed no remorse. He deserves to die and I was raised to be the person that ends him.
My path is finally clear, I needed to celebrate life to value it. I needed to witness
evil to understand that I am needed, that I came to this world to kill monsters.
I may be a daemon but Agrat taught me that even Daemons have their role in this world. By killing Nikolai I actually show mercy to many and justice to others.
My confusion was because, I did not want to kill for the priests that trained me. They were indistinguishable from the monsters they talked about. They used faith as a mechanism of control but I genuinely believe. The Lord works in mysterious ways - and my job is that of the left hand. The unpleasant, illegitimate job.
Wendy, your mission is simple. First use your accident power to help them reach the fate they deserve. That vehicle is barely moving as is and the ice and snow can undo even the best of drivers... I am sure that they only need a little push to crush badly. Why do more than we need to ?
If they survive the accident power kill both of them. After that you are free my avenging angel. I am forever indebted to you as it was the interaction with you that taught me who I really am." [spoiler]
For Smiles:
Marco asks Wendy to use accident on Nikolai and Hellfire and then kill them. After that he let Wendy go.
Accident power:
12d6t5 7Critters with this power can cause seemingly normal
accidents to occur. The exact nature of the accident is
for the gamemaster to determine, based on what the
target is doing and what’s going on around him. This
power isn’t, in and of itself, dangerous, but circumstance
and environment can come into play to make it so. Tripping on your own feet in front of rush-hour traffic could be hazardous to your health, for instance.
When a critter targets someone with this power, make
an Opposed Test, using the critter’s Magic + Willpower
against the target’s Reaction + Intuition. If the critter wins,
treat it as if the target rolled a glitch on a test. If the critter scores 4 or more net hits, the accident is treated as a critical glitch—it’s not just an embarrassing fumble, it’s a
potential catastrophe. A critter can use this power on a
number of targets at once equal to its Magic rating.
