Re: Audrey/ Eden/ Nate/ Open
Did she mean EKP? Nate wasn't particularly fond of fighting, but he knew enough to keep himself safe, particularly with companions who'd take care of the close range. Even so, there was no way he would leave the streets when the monsters might start going after unprotected children if not taken care of.
Wait. "Sorry, we've met?" he asked, but she was already busy dismembering the downed zombie with almost gleeful practicality. Nate looked away, not used to the gore to this kind of work.
By the time he'd finished scanning the area - two creatures incoming, but far enough off to pose no immediate threat - the ninja had finished her work. She darted off towards the undead monsters - Nate made to follow, but she clearly knew what she was doing. Instead, he kept his distance, circling round to keep his eye on the monster she hadn't kneecapped.
Before Nate could decide which tool would work best, a blonde knight appeared out of the mist and took on the second creature. The ninja was faring well, but the knight didn't move fast enough and was caught by one undead hand.
The battle was too close for Nate to use anything wide-ranging enough to affect both monsters, so he went after the knight's opponent first, grabbing a frost-effect grenade from the right pouch by touch and lobbing it right at the zombie's shoulder. The limb froze up, and the monster moaned as its chest and half its face were caught in the magicite blast.
