Harry Dresden has posed:
IT had taken most of the day, who ever had the McGuffin moving and traveling, but finally, for the last hour or so it seemed to have settled. Getting out of The Beetle Harry Dresden unfolded himself, the small mammoth of a dog Mouse making his way out of the open drivers door to sit next to his Master happily wagging his tail. "This looks like the place Buddy. She said she suspects her Nephew to have taken it, doesn't want the police involved, but that it should be given over pretty easily. Why don't we make our way inside and see what we find?" he says reaching in to grab his staff and blasting rod, hanging the latter inside his duster as he makes his way over to the dark abandoned WArehouse.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake is in his Red Robin costume doing a circuit of the city. Dick was busy with some things tonight in his civilian id, and Tim did not want to attend it. He volunteered to do the rounds. He is here in the warehouse district, and seeing someone going to a dark abandoned one he finds himself a perch to watch.

Spike has posed:
Spike's out here because....simply put he wants his crypt to have the latest shiny new stuff. He's heard about better TVs and computers and wants one of each for his crypt. With the thudding of heavy boots, Spike's ready to go on his way in, duster? Check. Boots? Oh yeah. The only thing not black is his skin and hair. He's finding a way in, too......as he is all set to see what's in here.

Harry Dresden has posed:
Slipping through an open gate in the fence around the warehouse, Harry and Mouse make their way across the glass and rock strewn parking lot, his staff held up to not clack against the ground. At the main door he looks around reaching into the neck of his shirt to pull out his silver pentacle he quietly pours some power into it, the silver pendant glowing a faint blue as he tries the door finding it secured. "Well, rents due in a week buddy, keep an eye out." he says softly to the dog as he makes a pulling motion with his staff. "Forzare minimus" he whispers, a bar of force appearing on the inside of the door hitting the handle and opening the door for the wizard to slip inside.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake sees the light, and heads to have a closer look roof top to roof top he heads, and is soon hanging in a shadow of the roof looking into the window of the place. He cycles through his goggles, with thermal, low light and such.

Spike has posed:
Spike's followed Harry, though several paces behind...though he doesn't really bother with the main door. The glass is already broken as Spike just lets himself in, feet finding the flor. He sneezes, so much for being subtle, William. Then there's the flick of flame as he lights a cigarette. If it ends up burning the place down......

Harry Dresden has posed:
with the exception of Harry and Mouse, Tim's thermals don't find anyone else in the warehouse everything quiet, no movement other than Harry, and if he spots the non-thermal movement of Spike, that might raise questions. Harry though has taken half a dozen steps into the warehouse when all hell breaks loose, a Konnex box hanging by chains suddenly comes crashing down rusted chains making a loud racket as they fall through their block and tackles.

Harry barely has enough time to leap forward into a roll the light of his pentacle vanishing like a switch was flicked whith Mouse following as the steel container comes crashing down blocking the exit, several more of the containers opening with faint hisses as fleshy, demonic looking creatures come pouring out. "Wizard... You are not very smart are you.." comes one of the vampires teasing calls.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake frowns a bit at this and softly says "Great magic." He will break a window as the noise from the containers falling covers it an is coming into the place. He will move to a catwalk, and pulls out a few flash bangs, into one hand looking about trying to place where people are.

Spike has posed:
Spike hears a crate open as he grins evill, curling his lips. "Oh look it's the freak show. What's the matter?" he asks, throwing the first punch. It's like a leash is off him and he can fight. He can actually fight these things. Oh hell yes! He's not being too quiet, either, he's enjoying this fight.

Harry Dresden has posed:
Still unaware of the little red bird up in the rafters, Harry reaches into his duster pulling out his blasting rod. Two foot of ancient oak, covered in sigils and marks of elemental power. "Guy's gotta make a living, and you paid me for three days of expenses upfront. Thanks for the rent money." he says snapping it up and aiming at a group of the vampires.

Which is when Spike joins in the fray punching one of the demonic spawn. Jerking his arm away from where he /was/ aiming he calls out in a loud strong voice "Fuego!" a brilliant lance of oily black flames launching from the smoldering tip of the rod to completely engulf the vampire before slamming into the storage container behind it melting a hole a few inches larger than the beam of heat.

Mouse on the other hand just lowers his front paws letting out a deep menacing growl not leaving the side of his wizard..

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake frowns a bit at this but he has seen the things Harry and Spike are fighting have no body heat, mind you Spike does not either. Luckily Batman gets them all the coolest toys so his lenses auto adjust to the flash of flame rather quickly using the light from there, three small round objects will be thrown towards any containers and vampires that are not engages and the bang and flash will go off. He will give from the catwalk, ending up behind Harry almost back to back with him, and a staff comes extending from his hand as he hits a button on a small object about the size of a roll of coins. "Since they ordered kill first, I am taking it they are the bad guys?" Is said as he takes up a defensive postion.

Spike has posed:
Spike's taking the fight to the creatures, preferring his fists....but he's not afraid to use what's around him. That being said he does his best to shove the vampires toward the flame. It's funny, he'll eat the Big Belly Burger, but the idea of deep fried vampire gets him not hungry.....as Spike is caught off guard and struck in the head. He's stunned, but not that badly....until his head's used as a battering ram into a shipping crate. Fortunately, he's got the presence of mind to keep fighting up until it goes black. That being said, a falling Spike is still dangerous, even if he is stil swinging while in the last stages of conciousness.

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden Glances quickly behind him at Red Robin but doesn't go on the offencive with the newcomer and seeming ally. "Vampires, literally souless life sucking demonspawn." he says noticing Spike as he's starting to stand a bit wobbily. "Don't fight to subdue, their not human or redeemable in the slightest." he adds

"Mouse, go help blondie." he says nodding to Spike before he lets out another scything arc of fire cutting through three more Vampires and setting crates on fire lighting the warehouse more as they start to regroup, launching themselves at the four assailants.

Mouse just dodges under the attacking vampires the Doggosaurus Rex barreling into the two Vampires looking to relieve Spike of his existance.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake is not so sure about the whole not subduing, but he does start to fight a whistle coming as the staff spins slamming into one's gut and another's chin, but as they don't fall away as easily as thigs should Tim does start fighting a bit more dirtier as he starts moving to take out knees, and shoulders to hopefully stop limbs from responding to the users commands. He sees the fangs coming at him from one, and the responding kick sends the blood head through one of Harry's fire blasts.

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden's energy reserves are starting to lag, the magic he's been pumping out, the smell of acrid smoke wafting in the air, the warehouse well lit now. When the Vampires come swinging at both him and Red Robin the wizard switches attack modes bringing his arm up revealing a bracelet of small metal shields "Defendarius!" he exclaims a globe of blue force popping around him and Red Robin causing the vampires to bounce off the surface.

Only a handful are left one of the ones that Red Robin had dislocated a hip and shoulder socket getting back up with wet clicks as their bodies defend themselves the two on the downed Spike made short work by Mouse. "What part of not human didn't you get. Evil..demonic..spawn..not..human." he stresses to the younger man

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake spares the other man just a moment's look and says "Hey, I didn't know if you were telling the truth." He says and two of the ones left including the one with the broken joins get small R shaped shuriken into their chests with little blinking red lights on them, and as they look down the Rs go boom, not big explosions but big enough

Harry Dresden has posed:
The vampires go down, turning to dust where they lay, the final three seeing the 'jig is up' quickly move away, leaping with inhuman strength to vanish through windows and out into the night. "Thanks for the assist there." he says to Red Robin, walking over to where the unconcious Spike is laying Mouse moving over to his Wizard to wag his tail and lean into the idly petting hand. "You alright there buddy?" he asks squatting down and setting his blasting rod to the side to lightly pat Spikes cheeks trying to wake him.

Spike has posed:
Spike slowly comes to and looks to Harry. "Bloody hell you're one ugly nurse. Oh for the love of....I'm awake, I'm on a sodding warehouse floor with one ugly SOB making sure I'm fine" Spike groans. "My head feels like I got bitch slapped by a demon. What happened? Are those vampires dead?" Spike asks getting slowly to his feet. "I gotta admit, they were fun to fight with" Spike groans and looks like he's going to throw up. Hopefully not over anyone's shoes. Piles of dust though...fair game.

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden nods.. "You safe to get yourself home buddy?" he asks picking up his blasting rod and standing up.

Spike has posed:
"I could use a ride to Caernarvon honestly. I doubt the cabbies will like it if I tell em to drop me off in a graveyard" Spike grouses and smiles, "Thanks for helping with those things" he says as a thought strikes him. "You were saying demons. Why didn@ I just tell them to piss off?" Spike asks and starts heading for the door.

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden just looks at Spike with an odd look, not quite understanding the question, or if there even is one. Soon he's guiding the man over to a battered multicolored 1960's VW Bug, the wizard opening a door to let Mouse on into the back seat. "Buckle up." He says soon taking the vampire to said Graveyard and letting him out.
