Soon after the plans were laid, Rozatonosky made a call then reported to Sarah. "The field lieutennant is waiting for you." He says. "I've told them you will be leading Guild troops to support the raid, and that you will have intelligence. Remember the keywords. 'You suspect someone may be in distress'."
The memory fades to the present, as she arrived, with a full platoon of Fayde guards with her... somewhere... that invisibility trick is far too subtle. Beside her was her father, in Guild robes, as was she, though they felt light and may be made for combat. A police officer walked up. "I'm Sargeant Smitt. You have new Intel?" He asks. "Where's Guild support."
"We're in position, naturally." Says Moltavious. Sarah heard it echo in her earpiece.
"Why the hurry?" He asks, looking at Sarah.

Sarah nods at Sargent Smith in greeting and replies "We suspect that there may be someone in distress, so that makes time an important issue."

"You're certain?" The cop asked. "Alright. All personel, prepare for entry, we suspect someone in distress." He says on the radio. To Sarah and Moltavious, he says, "Do not interefere with any arrests. I don't care if you're the Slayer's fling, this is still a police action." With a signal, cops started moving out of cars and alleys, surrounding the hotel.
Moltavious pats his hand Sarah's shoulder. "Don't worry. He's just blustering. We had better get to the back door."
Sarah arrived at the back. After a signal from her father, three Fayde guards materialized around them. "We await your signal." Says the guard to Sarah. "The police are moving to the front door with haste."

Sarah nods at the police officer with a polite smile and replies "Of course I will not get in the way of any arrests. I am simply here to help in any way I can."
Once they get to the hotel, Sarah will get into position and nods at the Fayde guards. "We go in the same time as the police. Once they have entered, we will follow suit. Any question?"

The guards do not respond. "Yeah, they're fine. These guys are pros."
"Stun or kill?" Asks the lead guard. "For the assistants. We recognize the leadership is needed alive."

Sarah almost looks surprised at the question and then is thoughtful. "Stun if possible, kill only as a last resort." A part of her is surprised she could say that so casually, but the part of her realizes that this is only the beginning and she will most likely have to make even tougher choices than this in the future.

"The order is relayed." Says the guard. "The police are entering." With a wave, two guards pull open the fire escape door, and enter one by one. With the top guard ushering Sarah and her father in.
Inside is a nicely marbled hall, like in the visions, but doesn't quite have the cavernous feeling. Her father pulls a weapon out. "Can you feel it?" As she looks around two of the guards are stealing along a hallway, and the place is high with magic energy.

Sarah looks around and nods at her father. "It'd be hard not too. There's so much energy it almost seems like I should be able to touch it." Sarah pushes her hand out as if she is trying to push through the energy in the air. She then starts to follow the guards quietly, keeping an eye out for any sign of trouble.

Even as she gets moving, she hears gun fire coming from within the building. In the soundtrack of the universe, the driving rock music has started.
"Police have engaged soldiers." Says a quiet report in her earbud. And then, even more things happen. "Demons, three. I have two. *Greek Yelling mixed with a roar, like from in the Arborium* Engaged. *static* (Moltavius) All personel, guard beasts, melee. *More Greek*." Then a roar, or many, up the hall. Demons, two at least. The Fayde Guards take up flanking positions, flaming blades bursting from their arms, flashing across the pristine foreign marble Zéké delivered... it really would look nice as a bathroom counter, maybe lining the walls...

Sarah says on the radio "Can we confirm what kinds of demons they are?" She takes a deep breath and continues to follow the guards, keeping an eye out for any signs of demons about to attack her.

At her request, a pair of her guards leap foward and into an adjoinging hallway. There is a roar, and then yelling, and then a crash as the demon is hurled into the hall. "Always doing things the hard way." Her father says, a magic net flying out of his hands and capturing the beast. When it's captured, the two men appear again.
The struggling monster is the same kind as at the Arborium. "It is branded." A guard says, his armoured hand hovering a flame blade over the beast's neck, his orange flame flickering off the helmet and body armour. After a second, the blade slices into the net, and the demon, and it falls limp.
"Guard animals. This is worrisome." Her father says. "Far to good a choice for inexperienced summoners." Turning to the lead guard, he says, "Get some anti-magic grenades prepped. Now."

Sarah nods at her father with a solemn look on her face. "if they summoned these monsters, they knew what they were doing and why. We definitely need to stop them from accomplishing what they're setting out to do."

Even as the guards seem busy subdueing the demon, one drops from the high ceiling with a roar, to attack Sarah. Moltavious and the others are similarly busy. "Looks like we chose the right door, pumpkin. Look at them all." Moltavious says, as he starts focusing to cast spells. Combat posties!

Perception: 18
JIC: 14, 58%
Initiative: 15+3=18
Sarah nods at her father and gets ready to cast the magic net spell. Once she's ready, she'll throw it at the demon getting ready to attack her. Assuming she manages to capture the creature, she'll throw a firebolt at it (strike: 17+4=21, damage: 17 md). If she misses, she'll get ready to dodge, in case the creature attempts to attack her. (dodge: 16+4=20)

The demon failed to dodge the net, or the fireball, letting out an angry bellow as it strains to reach her. Moltavios grins, his eyes glowing. "This takes me back..." After a second, the demon starts writhing as it burns from the inside out. "Next."
As she walks, Sarah notices her eyes are crackling with little blue lightnings as well.
"Clear!" - "Clear!" Call the two scout guards. "The police report the ballroom is over-secured. It may be the summoning space. Not room floors are occupied." Says a guard on the radio, gunshots are audible over it.
"Odd, we cannot hear them here..." Says the lead guard.
"Good carpetting. My den's the same way." Grins Moltavious.
The move into the next hall, where a few human military guards whirl, but pause, seemingly unable to see anyone.
