Hunter and Hunted

I fucked up....
I totally fucked up...

My mistake got someone else hurt.

Bryn warned me of this, and it doesn't feel good. It's not like I charged off into battle or anything. I was trying to be careful. Claire got hurt and it was my fault.
I'm pampering my girlfriend as an elaborate "I'm sorry." She's sleeping right now, so I'm getting this filled out (which is also why the last journal was so short. She can be a demanding woman.).

So, yeah, Wener Kreiger "ambushed us" as we got into the castle grounds. He tried to play the suave Sean Connery angle and we tried to play innocent. Though, he saw right through our ruse. He took a special interest in Lexi (and who wouldn't?) and tried to cart her off alone to "show her around".

Thing is, the reinactment is some sort of hunt. Usually animals, Kreiger claimed, though he dropped the word "Scion" in there. He also tried to relieve me of my axe (hidden in a guitar in a guitar case) and separate Ken from her wolf (who didn't like Krieger one bit). We talked our way out of that, but Claire let me know that we'd become surrounded.

After we got away from Krieger it became obvious that we weren't going to be allowed to leave. I got my axe out and we ducked inside a nearby building. I blessed my axe with silver and did the same for Lexi's dagger. Kenny told us the building wasn't secure enough for a siege and we decided to head for the basement and make a break for it through what (we hoped) would be a secret passage.

Then I tripped. Me. My divine ichor makes me capable of balancing on a wire in a hurricane, but I still managed to trip over my own damn feet.

I stumbled into Claire and at that moment, a werewolf burst into the room from the back and bit Claire in the leg like a chew-toy. Then more werewolves started breaking down the front door and....

I have to cut this short. Claire just woke up and she wants more attention.
At least I'm getting plenty of sex out of this, as well, so it's not a total loss.
