Susan had been on her way to bed, intending to simply crash as she was, too tired to think about much beside that. Her steps paused in the hall though as she heard a noise. That had sounded like ... breaking glass.

Easing an arrow from her quiver, she fitted it to the bow as she started slowly down the hall. Fighting in tight quarters like this was far from ideal, but she would do the best she could. She wasn't certain what room the noise had come from, so she stood in the hallway, listening. She heard grunts and noises that she could only describe as primal, and she shuddered, her exhaustion all but forgotten. When the door - her door - burst open, Susan didn't even have time to scream. She fired one arrow very accurately, and very soundly, but before she had time to even draw the second arrow, they were on her ...

Lily had slept like the dead that night, though when she woke - early - she had vague recollections of ... breaking glass and thumps. Dreams, she supposed, inspired by one of the many fears playing chase in her mind. She'd checked the network before even getting out of bed, but there were no updates she hadn't seen. She showered, she dressed, and she stepped into the hallway. She froze before her foot even crossed the threshold. Something was wrong.

Leaning forward, sticking her head out the door, she peered down the hall. First toward the end closer to her, the end with the infirmary, and then toward the other end. She clamped her hands over her mouth to trap the scream as she saw the mangled body at the end of the hallway. She recognized the girl by the bow broken over her middle, and Lily stumbled back into her room, slamming the door closed.

For a moment, there was panic. Only panic. Simply panic. The blind animal instinct to run, run far from daner before her humanity reasserted itself and she tried to think. She did the only thing that made sense just then. Reaching for her Blackberry, Lily marked the post urgent and sent only three words, broadcast to the network:

They got in

Balthazar

Balthazar had soon discovered that even some of his best spells wouldn't have any affect on the reavers beyond slowing them down slightly, or pushing them back. Enough for him to have a safety net of protection, but not enough to destroy them completely. He wasn't sure how much of this was reaver's apparent immunity to magic, and how much of it was the fact that his own magic had clearly been limited since arriving at this place, but it was true all the same and he'd been forced to discover other means of destroying them. Magical swords, weapons, bullets from actual guns. He'd also found distracting them with scents and smells very effective. Well places spells caused odors which caught their attention, and they could be led all the way outside before they realized what was going on.

Once outside, he felt no remorse in causing a small spark and lighting them on fire, watching them run around frantically and burn. So long as he kept them away from the hotel by repelling them, there was no danger, and then he could head inside and kill more. It really felt the most... satisfying to him.

His eyes did drift over the Medical Centre once, briefly, but they seemed to him to be under control, so he continued about his business. He thought he'd look into getting some help later, though. Maybe someone with a weapon that was more effective against the reavers than his magical ones seemed to be.
