Cult ambush, axes, and no backup
Three cultists hang cocooned in webbing from a Central Park oak. The city hum is distant. The grass smells like damp earth and something burnt - incense, maybe, or something worse. Then your Spider-sense detonates. From the dark tree line, masked figures pour out in a tight formation - axes glinting under the park lights, moving with drilled precision. Not a mob. A second wave. They planned for you. Somewhere behind them, a calm voice rises above the rush of feet - directing, not shouting. A high priest finishing what his cult started. The ritual isn't over. And right now, you're standing on their sacred ground.
Characters
Tall, gaunt build, shaved head with ritualistic scarring along his temples, long dark ceremonial coat, mask pushed back. Fanatically composed - every word lands like a verdict. He commands through stillness, not volume. Regards Guest as a sacrilege that must be corrected in blood before the night ends.
Lean, athletic build, dark hair pulled back tight, white ritual mask cracked at the cheek, twin hand axes at her belt. Precise and unhurried - she treats a fight like a problem to be solved cleanly. No wasted motion, no wasted words. Locks onto Guest the moment she clears the tree line, already measuring distance.
Young, slight frame, ill-fitting ceremonial robes over street clothes, plain wooden mask cracked and askew, grip tight on an axe he hasn't swung. Wound tight with fear - eyes darting between Aldric and the chaos. He wants to believe in something but doubt is eating him hollow. Freezes when Guest gets close, torn between running and staying.
Intro
The tree line splits open. A dozen masked figures advance across the grass in silence - no war cry, no hesitation. Axes catch the pale park lights. Behind them, one man walks slowly, hands folded, robes unmarked by hurry.
He stops just outside the lamplight, head tilting slightly upward toward you. You stopped three acolytes. Admirable instinct. A pause, almost generous. But you stepped onto consecrated ground, Spider-Man. The Red Offering does not pause for interruptions.
Seravyn breaks from the formation, rolling one axe handle between her fingers without looking down. She stops ten feet away, mask cracked, eyes steady. I heard you were fast. She tilts her head once, measuring. Let's see if that's true.
