Darian and Alice climbed down the ladder onto a metal walkway that ran the entire length of the building. "We're in Helena and the building looks intact-ish," Darian stated as he looked below them, seeing the dry dock filled with water with waves crashing over the edge. "The drydock is flooded, and the water is going over the edge of the dock onto the floor. It's probably due to the storm though."

"I can sense several grimm in the water, but I can't really tell what kind," Alice stated as she shined her light on the water, hoping to get a look at the creatures below the water. "They're big though...maybe like a small ursa. There are a few more on the ground floor, but they're all keeping their distance and not moving. Maybe they're some kind of plant-grimm like Drossel?"

"Hopefully they stay down there," Darian muttered as he cast his gaze towards the back half of the large building. "All the cranes and lifts look intact, if potentially rusted." Looking around further he noticed a pair of glowing yellow orbs deep in the dark recesses of the building. "Company," he stated, pointing it out for Alice to get a better look at it.

Alice spun around, pointing her gun in the direction Darian was indicating. By the time she had spun around the glowing yellow orbs had disappeared. The light from her weapon failed to reach far enough to pierce the darkness. "There's something there, but nothing glowing," she said, moving to lower her weapon only to be stopped by Darian placing his hand on her arm.

"I can see...something there. It's like some lumpy...pile." Darian stated, his eyes managing to discern a general shape in the darkness. "I don't like this it feels like these things are watching us."

Alice held her rifle steady on where she could sense the Grimm. "We've got space, a quick exit, and the high ground," Alice examined. "I think we should attack before they try to group up." Darian nodded in agreement, keeping his eyes on the Grimm in the dark corner. Alice flipped the saftey on her rifle to the 'Fire' position. She gently pulled the trigger, letting out a short burst of rounds into the center of the mass she could sense.

The rounds impacted with a wet thud in the mass. Suddenly the dark corner was lit up with a dozen of glowing yellow eyes, a strange squeeling noise eminating from the beast. "I don't think it much liked-" Darian began when several other screeches began to ring out from the ground floor of the building.

Alice quickly jumped up and tackled Darian to the side, both parties rolling back on the metal walkway and coming up to their feet. A second after they had vacated the spot, a large black toad-like grimm slammed down on the walkway where they had just been, its back covered in glowing yellow eyes.

"Okay this is a new one," Darian said as he drew his sword from his back, eyeing the creature carefully.

"Mom, we've got big frog Grimm, do you know anything about them?" Alice asked as she pointed her gun at the creature before them.
