Forget Ninjas, SEALs, or Super-Secret Special Ops... WE Own the Night!
21 September 2011~
It was a great night to be an invisible, insubstantial, super werewolf, but when is it not so?
We picked up with things out in the desert- Bruce's Ghost Wolf and Jeff's lich hunkered down under illusionary cover with Craig's Kensai and Kevin's Zen going through withdrawal from the drugs with which they had been sedated. Jeff's lich, it turns out, had a neutralize poison spell, so he quickly set them straight, but we didn't know what was going on outside our little illusionary shell, so Jeff turned Ghost Wolf invisible, and Ghost Wolf went out for a little recon. Being invisible and insubstantial, he was able to move effortlessly through the terrain, and having heightened senses made it possible (with a couple good rolls) for him to spot some very stealthy special ops types advancing slowly on our position with strange-looking weapons.
Not wanting to just kill the soldiers, Ghost Wolf grabbed one of the men and ran straight up into the night with him, then stopped at about 400' for a little conversation. The guy proved pretty resilient for someone snatched up into the sky by an invisible werewolf, but once Ghost Wolf tossed him into the air (and caught him, of course) he proved a bit more cooperative. Of course, the soldier hanging in mid-air brought the helicopter back, but Ghost Wolf charged the aircraft, then tossed the soldier on to the front windshield with instructions to "hold on". Ghost Wolf went insubstantial to slip inside the helicopter, then ripped off the safety restraints and yanked the co-pilot out of his chair and threatened to eat him (sadly, Craig pointed out that they couldn't see what he looked like, so that was perhaps an empty threat). Once the pilot stopped freaking out, he quickly decided to cooperate, and we had ourselves one heck of a taxi for the trip out of here.
On the ground, Kensai and Zen were having a hard time getting their bearings once they regained consciousness, and they couldn't initially get their powers to work. They finally powered up, though, and left the illusionary cover to go after our pursuers, as did Jeff's lich a few seconds later. The three of them got out of the arroyo and took out the remaining troopers mere moments later, with Kensai knocking a couple of them down into the arroyo, and Jeff's lich commanding the soldiers to shoot their buddies and then themselves with their knock-out darts. Our only casualty was Zen, who got entangled by a lucky (or amazing) shot from one of the troopers that wrapped him in sticky webbing of some sort, and who then kept shooting him again and again for good measure. Still, we got the helicopter pilot to land long enough to pick us all up, and now we'll have him fly us back to the rest of the group, whose fate we should learn next week...

Oh, yes- and we didn't kill a single person tonight! Remarkable restraint on our parts, actually (although I'm sure Jeff was disappointed).
