August slipped below the docks as quickly as he could. He found that he could hold shadows to him at a brisk walk but no faster. He instinctively worked his vampirey grip to walk over the rocks without jamming his ankles.
First, he saw some bloodied dudes. Cameron had been hungry, but fortunately, they were still ablaze with life.
Then, he saw Cameron - a pathetic puff of shadow stretched thin around him like disintegrating car exhaust, clinging to a pillar, and apparently unable to see August.

((BTW, Santi can't teleport and this has been a really short length of game time - though I imagine it feels like an eternity for Auggie.))

August shook off the slimy shadows, the last thing he wanted to do was give Cam a fright. He already had some pretty bad news to tell him. He moved slowly to his friend wrapping him and the pillar in a hug. "I'm so sorry Cam. I shoulda... I don't know. I lost ya arm.... I tried... Oh heck. We need to skeddadle real fast, Hambalos." ((Yuppers.))

Cam noticed something unpleasant that distracted him from the moment.
Cameron- "*too* *late*"
Hobo- "So gently dental. Wotta larf."
Suddenly, a freaky fluttering sound drew the monster's attention, and as it turned, they all saw the source floating toward them, feet not bothering with the uneven soil.
Santi- "*AHEM*"

August had felt a rush of fear that dissolved at the sight of Santi. If anyone could fix this mess, it was him. He felt almost giddy with relief. " SANTI!! Lawdamimbo, am I sure glad to see ya!" "This horse face bowed up and ripped off Cam's arm for no good reason. "

The beast kept August & Cam's side and Santi in sight at the same time, betraying at least a hint of caution in its body language for the first time.
Hobo- "Who gives a shite? 'S'my barber shop."
Santi got a little closer, not looking as hesitant as the monster.
Santi- "I don't have time to play games with sewer rats. You're leaving evidence all over the place, and many vampires don't appreciate that."
Hobo- "Evidents? Ye must be one of those Jerkle wankers I 'eard chant of. What then?"

"Help us find Cam's arm for one. Also ya should apologise, ya mean ol'gremlin!" August felt much braver with Santi around. He stuck close to Cam though, protectively keeping himself between Cam and the monster.

Hobo- "Like cobbler's awls, thou Zurish bankers!"
The beasty had his pride.
Santi- "We don't have time for negotiations or formalities..."
Santi- "Flee or die, thing. I don't care what you are."
Hobo- "'..." It was a hot moment, about to explode. What would August do?

"Whoa, shootfire! Hold ya horses, Santi. We ain't like that... We were in his backyard and trying to eat yuppies. We're real sorry though. Let's call it even stevens, yeah? Right, Cam?" August studied Santi's face, he wasn't serious was he? Santi was meant to be one of the good guys. You didn't kill people willy-nilly, even if they did rip friend's arms off. It could grow back... He hoped. Poor Cam. He was the real victim in all this.

Cameron- "Yeah man, hell, I'm like... Yeah."
Santi- "Well..."
Hobo- "Sod that." The monster started transforming into a horse again, and as its body convulsed, Santi drew a small knife and sprang into motion. ((Would an August do anything, or is it time to bear mute witness?))

"Lawdamimbo! Ya tried.." Then August sprang into the fight fists ready. He wasn't about to let Santi do it alone!"This is for Cam, ya aggro bogan!"

Hobo- "Right then!" As August got near, the thing seemed like a flapping paper bag randomly spewing horse-sized bony limbs that punched blindly with enough force to smash woodchips off the tarred, stony old pillars. But for all the power on display, August felt like it was slow - maybe slow enough for him to dodge. But how could he harm it?
Cameron- "August nooo!"
Santi- "damn"
In a moment, all of August's companions were out of his line of sight - Cam behind him and Santi on the other side of the monster. One image flashed in his sight between the flailing limbs-

August had been around real horses and knew to avoid the kicking legs and in this monster's case terrifying chomping mouth. This monster was all avoidy bits. He hadn't really thought to take it's centre attention, he kinda hoped for Santi to take it out in s swift action leaving him to give it a well earned biff. He stopped mid run, making a dive for the soft sand and hoping to find some kind of weapon lying about or at least distract it into hurting itself.

He was definitely gonna have to use blood on this deal - the decision was made for him, as a scary limb got too close and he sped up for an instant to clear it. He rolled over some rocks and a leg, avoiding the horse. Well, the rocks were too big /cemented to lift without more than an instant of effort. Could he and should he use a yubbie as a weapon?

*Confliction* August chose to take the moral high ground and not use human weapons. Instead he decided to try to give the horsey beast a taste of its own medicine. He monstered out again, which wasn't hard since he was getting more than a little hungry. "Grrr let's see how ya like it, ya mangy ponyboy!" August paid no heed to the blood he was using, taking a lunge in an attempt to bite down on one of the monster's legs. It was't very vegan.
