( A second set of handwriting shows up here — hey, it’s him, ya boi. )

Here’s the kicker: it seems like they might be tourists. Monsters from back home. We hunted down a pack of Hellhounds earlier today, and unless I missed a big memo over the last year and a half or so, those aren’t native to this planet.

No more cute and cuddly Furbies from planet Vulcan, or whatever. This could be bad, Like, lethal bad. Hell, it already has been. We’ve got a body count. It’s an all-hands-on-deck situation.

The point here is to get a central repository of intel going. If you know anything, we’d appreciate a tl;dr here for other folks to reference. I’ll also start slapping notes on the Monster Board in the Roadhouse if anyone wants to swing by, but we figured it’d be good to have an open line of communication to reference on the fly in case you run into something with teeth and a bad attitude.

Hellhounds are ferocious, wolf-like creatures typically utilized to hunt down the damned and drag their souls to Hell. They’re sized anywhere between a large dog to a small donkey. They possess heightened senses, exceptional speed and strength, and prey may experience hallucinations when Hellhounds are nearby, used to inspire fear to either paralyze or frighten victims out of hiding.

Hellhounds will be invisible to undamned humans, but scorching a pair of eyeglasses with Holy Fire will make them visible to the wearer. For aid with Holy Fire, visit your resident Angel. In Thorne, find Lucifer. In Solvunn, Michael or Gabriel. I'm Castiel, you can find me in Cadens. A barrier of salt across all doorways and windows, or simply a circle around you, will keep Hellhounds from crossing. Typically, only Angel Blades could kill them, but it appears any conventional weapon here can work. Decapitation is advisable.

Stay safe, everyone. If you need help, call us. We’re here.

Comments

directed at cas but not private

[righteously]

So were you planning on mentioning the Gabriel thing, or was I supposed to just figure it out when I stumbled across Candy Land in the Horizon later?

[unwings]

[ oh. ]

Gabriel is here, Dean.

[ there, he mentioned it. ]

[vengeanceinside]

You're tellin' me Geralt was not pulling my leg about the fucking angels?

This place sucks.

[righteously]

Preaching to the choir

[unwings]

I suppose I forgot to mention it in the Pit.

[tobeclosetohim]

𝔸𝕤 𝕕𝕠 𝕞𝕠𝕤𝕥 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕖𝕝𝕤.

[gynvael]

I never jest.

[notrunninganymore]

Wow, I just got here and you're already volunteering me to do work?

[tobeclosetohim]

𝕍𝕠𝕝𝕦𝕟𝕥𝕠𝕝𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘, 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕝𝕚𝕜𝕖.

[unwings]

Is there something better you have to do?

[righteously]

Welcome back to the land of the living
Assuming you ever actually died in the first place, which frankly, I'm starting to second-guess now

[sleepfan]

How rude of them.

[magicalarchaeologist]

To Thorne people:

I'm working on getting us the glasses we need so Lucifer can use Holy Fire on them.

To everyone:

I saw large black canine creatures the size of a pony, they apparently have venom in their saliva, there were three. There was also a huge octopus with a giant eye that appeared at the castle first.

[unwings]

Istredd. Thank you for the assistance with the glasses, and you observation. We haven't witnessed those creatures yet here. How huge would you say the octopus was?

[thedevilwhorose]

I know my opinion will bare no weight but how dare y'all lump Castiel in with the archangels.

Truly though I am infinitely flabbergasted on how that solution for the hellhounds even came up.

You live dumb lives.

[righteously]

Didn't you just jump down my throat six seconds ago for NOT lumping him in? Pick a lane, man.

Unsigned

[everybodysterrible]

Coolcoolcool funfunfun. I had to figure it'd be too convenient to just have giant horse chickens and nothing fucking bad happen.

So do you guys do the whole- fucking biblically accurate anatomy here, or is that just a special thing for the Horizon?

[unwings]

Which biblically accurate anatomy? Our true forms do often contain a multitude of wings, wheels and eyes.

[aquilus]

I would like to bring a pair of glasses to be scorched.

[Which means he'll have to buy/steal a pair since his vision is fine, but whatever.]

I also saw an alarming creature in the badlands this afternoon. There was a

[Pause because...how does one describe this.]

enormous insect-like monster capable of diving within the earth itself.

[gynvael]

Describe it further.

[ Because there are multiple insect-like things in the Badlands that dive into the sand, and not all of them are new. Regrettably. ]

[sketchycharacter]

Awesome, thanks for the heads up, hey while we're on the subject is there any way to get some goddamn guns here in hippieville?

[He's already pretty sure the answer is no but he wants to COMPLAIN.]

[vengeanceinside]

They don't even know what guns are, buddy. Time to get good.

[yoke]

Does any kind of table salt work or does it need to be blessed by my friendly neighborhood Angel first
Genuine question

[unwings]

Any form of salt will do. It need not be holy.

[wiedzminka]

This is too long. Don't dilute important information.

Your Hellhounds, were they at the barracks earlier? I heard something about invisible beasts from some soldiers out there.

Right after we saw an enormous tentacled mass attacking the southern outpost. Lots of teeth. Smelled terrible.

And was sucked back into the portal whence it came after a brief time.

[unwings]

A template, for future entries, perhaps to be posted on the monster board in the Roadhouse:

Name: Hellhounds
Realm of Origin: World of Dean Winchester, Jo Harvelle, and the Angels
Description: Incredibly hostile, invisible, wolf-like creatures roughly 3-5 feet tall and 4-6 feet long. Affiliated with hell and demons.
Abilities: Heightened senses, speed, strength. Teeth and claws. Cause hallucinations when near.
Weaknesses: Cannot cross barriers of salt. Conventional weapons work.
Strategies: Eyeglasses scorched in Holy Fire enables visualization (see Angels for Holy Fire). Decapitate advised to kill.

Does that suffice?

Did your tentacled mass have one, large central eye?

[blackeyedprince]

You all might want to know the most unfun thing.

Those creatures, they can go into Horizon. Or project, or whatever. Looks and acts real enough there.

I just had an inn in my domain burned down by a fucking dragon. Someone tell me whose world it is from so I can file a complaint.

[wasalmostdaphne]

They go into the Horizon. Like we do?

[philancer]

Wait wait wait. There's a demonic beast in Solvunn???

[ ...Fuck. ]

[satanicpanics]

so
big question
what makes you damned to these things?
like if i TPed the principal's house in freshman year is that a sin or...

[unwings]

Specifically, if you made a deal with a crossroads demon in exchange for your soul - that kind of Damned.

You're fine.

[londonbound]

Can you explain what you mean by 'undamned humans'?

[unwings]

Humans who have not sold their soul to a crossroads demon, or entered into any other similar deal with affiliates of Hell.

[aquaveiled]

I suppose this shouldn't' be too surprising after what's already happened...but still. Thank you. Things like this could easily be written off as "reasons to not go into the woods at night" here in the Commune. Rumors are already circulating about the gods being upset for some reason.

But I have a question. What's "Holy Fire"? Is it a combination of Holy and Fire? And does the spell level matter?

[unwings]

Fire produced when oil that's been consecrated by an anointed or celestial being is set alight.

[flagrates]

We've got them here in Thorne, too.

[ ]

Does anyone recognize it?

[aquaveiled]

Hmmm...it looks to be some sort of vilekin,maybe?
