"I'll take that as a compliment, hon. Now let's figure out how we're getting you home to Sandy." "I'm gonna come down there in just a minute. Hang in there." She reckoned there had to be a stairwell somewhere that would get her down to the basement level where Davin was currently trapped. As she went, she looked for heavy blankets or curtains, anything that a hammock sling could be crafted out of to facilitate moving the injured man. She reckoned they could bust up a pew seat to make an impromptu backboard to immobilize him to minimize further injury.
She wasn't entirely certain they had any chance of getting him back before nightfall when they had to carry him, but A) she was worried any attempt at using a vehicle might attract the carterpillar, B) they didn't have enough people to split the party while there was a freaky-fast, indestructible cannibal running the streets, and C) she sure as shit wasn't spending the night in this slaughterhouse.

The only way to look for a basement entrance was coming in the back door, so she had to leave the building and walk around to the alley. She was quick, moving more easily over the snow than she'd have imagined possible when recovering from the kick.
Then she heard Davin shout, and the most direct route to help him was running back the way she came.
As she approached the door, she heard the voices...Colqhoun- "Calm down. It's not like I can eat you alive. Don't want to turn into a ghoul."
Davin- "FFFFFFFFUUUCK!!!! *choke* AAAARGH!"
Colqhoun- "Ooh, that's got to hurt."

Patti thought only of saving Davin. She busted in with her hammer swinging."Hey, Lector, I'm not gonna stop swinging 'til you stop moving this time!" Hammer swinging 16+2=18, Parkouring into the hole if necessary 15 (not sure if she's good enough for a bonus yet).

Patti leapt into darkness like the fool where the angels be trippin'. Colqhoun- "Fine." Part way through the crushination process, Davin- "Switch to the axe for a while..." As Patti was doing so, some other fine fellows showed up at the edge of the hole above. In the flare light below, they could see someone involved in frenzied axe maneuvers while Davin looked on blankly, holding a burning pink flare.

Ashley- "Shitfaced son of a...!" Ashley held a flare over the edge, and noticed the chaos below. He had left his rope secured here, and perhaps that was the reason that thing had gotten here so fast. Maybe this was its plan all along.
They were all such suckers. Ashley did his best not to slide down and give himself a rope burn on the way down into the action.
Somehow, inside, he knew it was a terrible idea to leave Davin alone.
He'd attack the Pastor if he could see him.

Micah stared down trying to make some sense of the scene. At least Davin was still alive, for now. He wasn't sure if he should go down there, it looked pretty wild."So much for coming back later for pastor Wendigo… I guess he got fucking peckish. Have you still got all your bits, Davin?"

((Cool. A Brett check-in and we can continue.))
Davin seemed to realize the boys were back, but was too weak to meaningfully communicate over the din of Patti violence and Alex shouts.

Patti tried to make a quick transition and accept the axe. She didn't need the peanut gallery to tell her that her best bet was dismemberment. She thought for a second that she might be able to throw the thing off with a taunt, but she wasn't feeling very witty. She really wanted to take this fucker's head off.5+4=9

It doesn't take much effort to sever the head of a completely immobile corpse even in the darkness. ((I'll say it took two whacks with that roll.)) Colqhoun was already kinda sludgy from hammering, and now chunks were loose for... whatever it is you'd like to do with them.
It was still hard for people outside the hole to make much sense of the scene, but by now it was obvious Colqhoun wasn't doing anything and Patti was busting him up with an axe. As Ashley entered the hole, he could try to make Patti aware of his presence to avoid her swings and start mincing the guy's legs or something.
((You guys can proceed in any order you like now - just try not to do more than two posts before I check in again.))

Micah called down to Ash."STILL WANT ME TO STAKE THE FUCKER? If we can find the damn heart, talk about chop suey, this why you don't make Patti mad..."

Ashley- "...Patti, I'm going to burn parts of him. Johnson, stake whatever is left of the heart. We should not leave anything left." Ashley tries to make his presence known to furious Patti, and would do his best to burn the head and other parts in-between trying to make them into mincemeat with his hatchet. "...Davin, are you alright?"

Definitely hard to hear in the ruckus. Also hard to see what you were doing with what body part. Davin- "...start fires...here...smoke..."

"Not sure there's anything left to stake. I might stay up here, keep a look out until you need me." Micah was trying not to chunder from all the gore that Patti and Ash were creating. He was glad for the lack of proper lighting but the idea of a piece flying out and infecting someone made him ill.
