[20:17] <@BradGM> +++Heavy pedestrian traffic slowed down Lyra and the sedan almost to a grinding halt. Only Jon and his smaller patrol bike managed to keep up the chase on the ground, while Mira kept very close to the Gloom Haunt.
[20:17] <@BradGM> . He suddenly disappeared from the view as he turned into a large cloud of smoke, similar to a blind grenade; but the assassin was too close for the deception to have any effect on her pursuit, contrary to the other cell members on the ground, whom effectively lost all sights of the Vigilante.
[20:17] <@BradGM> . Still being tracked, the man-thing threw a small gloom haunt shaped disk at Mira who dodged the projectile with ease, but did not even considered that it would come right back at her from behind, lodging itself deep into her guts. Despite her wound, she kept the pressure up, forcing the vigilante to confront her in melee.
[20:17] <@BradGM> On the ground, the other acolytes were driving blind, trying to spot the flying duo, but no avail. Meanwhile, the Gloom Haunt activated his power weapons but a malfunction occurred, his weapons damaged by the earlier plasma shot; nevertheless, he managed to render Mira helpless and make his escape.
[20:17] <@BradGM> A few minutes passed before Jon spotted Mira hovering over a building rooftop, her wounds cleaned and bandaged by Grendel, but the Gloom Haunt was long gone.
[20:17] <@BradGM> The cell decided to return to Muty’s house to search for clues to help them in their investigation. They arrived back at the scene, with Arbitrators already busy at cornering the area.+++

[20:49] <@BradGM> Grendel, you can cleeary see taht Muty was in a hurry ot pack his bags and was interrupted by the Gloom Haunt, who entered the house via a second story window, quite professioannly picked as well; no doubt some sort or sofisticated multi-key. The gunshots your heard are lodged inot the wall, having missed the vigilante. you also see a wireless vox phone on the gorund in the bedroom, where all the luggage are half filled. muty was surely on the phone wiht someone. you also detect a small, hidden vault under the carpet on the second floor.
