AS ABOVE (game thread)

She stops, looks over the group. Looks puzzled for a moment, but nods a little and whips out a phone. A few seconds later, she pockets it and nods to the group. "I can let you in, but I'm gonna have to stay by you. I can't allow anyone in the basement entirely unsupervised, sorry."

"Thanks, that should be fine."

"That's...no problem at all." It was, but Bonham wouldn't say it. They let the staff member unlock the door and step in first, but they remained close behind her, covering her back in case whatever was inside chose to pounce immediately. "Go on." They instructed the other exorcists. "Give this place a once-over."

"Certainly."

I figure I might as well lead. I'm suited for it, and I had a part in suggesting this. No sense in throwing anyone else under my bus.

Salem will position himself, when possible, to lead the way into the morgue. He keeps his hand poised, as casually as he can, to draw his axe from his pocket.

Glancing down at Orion, Erasmus looked at the others, nodding to the door and making a throat-slashing gesture. Then he pointed at the mortal, raising an eyebrow in silent query.

Lycaon, not understanding what the "thumb across the throat" gesture was supposed to mean here -- the only thing Kyle knew was killing someone, and he was pretty sure they didn't want him to geek some random nurse -- shakes his head dismissively and moves to interpose his own body between the door in question and anyone who might glance their way.

Salem starts chatting with the nurse, slowly working his way in a circle around her in an attempt to keep her attention focused away from the autopsy room.

As Erasmus prepares to work some manner of magic on the door,Bonham readies to take point,likely being the first to face whatever lies behind the door in the third autopsy room.

Taking out an oily rag and a hairpin from his pocket, Erasmus turned to the door, making sure his back was between it and the others so they couldn't see exactly what he was doing.
