Saturday Dec 18, 2075. Freezing Rain til Sundown.

The fight continues, after the first arrow shot by the archer on the roof. Koryak fires back and a short burst sends him tumbling off the roof. Frank and Grelig move up to the edge or through the treeline with Koryak and return fire on grunts. Some grunts fall back to the house, ones in the house throw grenades. Ullr's spirit in the astral attacks some grunts who are assensing, killing a couple, at which time they stop assensing any further. Frank and Grelig flank as Koryak charges the house. Five grunts outside are dispatched as Koryak gets behind their cover after crossing the 70 meters of ground, and he shoots them, when he got there, some were already dead. He proceeds to the house, which is now enveloped in hot smoke from the grenades, and takes fire from inside, but mostly soaks all the shotgun flechette fire. Frank joins him. Ullr sends his spirit to scout inside the house, and report to him telepathically and he repeats it over the commlink. The spirit materializes in an adjacent room, kills on grunt, and then is dissipated. Ullr summons another, as Koryak is entering the house, and sees three guys with shotguns and one guy with a sword. Frank joins him, jumps in, and starts suppressing the room. Grelig gets there, just as Koryak goes unconscious. Three more badguys have stacked up in the doorway and are pouring shotgun fire into Koryak and Frank. The first four in the room are dead. Frank grabs Koryak and exits the way he came. Once outside, he tosses in a flashbang. The three new guys, and three more guys behind them, then back out as the grenade is cooking and avoid it's blast. They're fast. Ullr's spirit enters another room, and gets another grunt, but then dissipates. Grelig then hears more coming around the side, but not approaching. Ullr summons another spirit and sends it to slow the truck that is coming to pick up the bad guys, this is a remote service, it succeeds and leaves. Ullr summons another spirit during the combat in the room, and it knocks him unconscious. The invisibility spell they were all under goes down, and they retreat to the south wood. One grunt pops his head up as they're dragging a now stim patched Koryak backwards, and Koryak drops the grunt.

Back in the wood, Grelig goes to heal Ullr, and get him conscious. Ullr and he return to Frank and Koryak. Then team then is re-invisibled, and return to the house. They find it empty, and track the badguys to the north, they cross a road, and see the badguys made their way to a house to the northeast. Ullr returned to the van. The enemy City Master is now just a minute away. They run to the treeline to the southwest of the house, so they can see the house and the truck. They begin firing with rifles and grenades at the truck, but have little effect. Koryak is the only one that thinks he's hurt the driver. Ullr summons a spirit and it starts attacking the truck. It brings the truck to a stop in the driveway, as a gang of 10 grunts is sprinting in a V formation at the three shooters. A HMG on the truck suppresses the three, and then some leaders come out of the house and dissipate the spirit. The three shooters take down three of the charging grunts before they're all rendered unconscious. The badguys fall back, and form a perimiter around the truck, as they repair it, they bring out the girls and load them in. One of them finds the microdrone Cypher put on the roof and crush it, but not before it had hidden an RFID on the roof. A half hour later, the truck is operable, and they limp off. Ullr moves out to the team, gets them conscious, as they mostly took stun, and then they all hobble back to the truck. There they try to heal, but their wounds and bad luck impeded them, though Ullr heals all their physical wounds.

Later that evening their stun is recovered and they head off, albeit slowly, with Grelig driving, to The Last Station In The Barrens. They arrive in the early morning house of the 19th, and rest through to the 20th.
