*There are...remnants of bodies around the symbol on the ground, though the most prominent is the body right in the middle of it with arms slashed from elbows to palms.*

*It's not like anything Darnell has seen before, though when Hellboy has finished with the monsters... and he /will/ deal with the monsters... Hellboy will recognize it as a summoning circle, though there's something off about it. Probably why it summoned and /area/, and not /just/ monsters.*

*Other than the otherwise empty warehouse, there's a small office near the back. Poking around in there, Darnell will find it amazingly clean, but stacked neatly on the desk are papers with writing. It looks like a letter at first, but will prove to be more like a journal of, presumably, the man who killed himself in the middle of the summoning circle. He rants about the world and how terrible it is, and how he's going to end the world by bringing hell to earth.*

Darnell: ................well, he seems to have gotten that partly right. *grimacing as he reads . . . will continue poking around, seeing if he can find anything on the ritual itself - if he understands the mechanics, maybe he can try to reverse engineer how to destroy it, or UNsummon all the monsters, or.../something/*

*He'll start finding clues. Casey has seen all she cares to and is waiting by the door now, keeping watch until Hellboy can join them. Darnell...won't like seeing the solution being. It seems it may require the blood of an innocent, given willingly.*

Darnell: *grimacing - how /much/? And what constitutes an "innocent"*

Hellboy: *finally dispatches or runs off the last of the petal-heads. He's bruised, scratched, bitten, and covered in blood, but hey...he won. He'll head into the warehouse, pausing at the sight on the ground, /grimaces/* That's never good.

Casey: You beat them?! *straightens and glances at the office before heading towards Hellboy. She'll give him a wry grin as she gets close* Heh, you smell worse than I do now.

Hellboy: *smirks* Tends to come with the territory, kid.

Casey: *motions at the office* I think mister sniper found something.
