Summary

Hoof is called to an unofficial Knight Errant assignment in Redmond. Once there, he discovers that a blood mage has invaded a school. Hoof does everything in his power to save the children and the reporter.

Background

A free blood spirit has decided to teach a crazy blood mage and use him for his purposes. Frank has been on the trail of the two for a while and can finally put them in Redmond in a supposedly abandoned school building. However, the school was not abandoned but illegally continued to operate and there are many children and teachers on site. Frank has the school building surrounded, but KE is officially not responsible. To make matters worse, there is a reporter on site who could turn the whole thing into a media circus and Frank is worried that KE could suffer damage to its image. So Frank decides to call the only contact that could be stupid.... er brave enough to go in there and save the situation.

The Meet

Hoof, after a relaxing afternoon of math lessons from a teenage ghoul teacher, gets a call from Frank Grover who needs him urgently for an assignment in Redmond. Hoof doesn't mess around and accepts without asking for payment and Frank sends a squad car. On the way, Hoof is briefed on the situation at the school.

The Plan

KE shows Hoof an old escape tunnel that is laid out in troll size and Hoof decides to get into the school via this route. But let's face it Hoof didn't really make a plan.

The Run

Hoof enters the first room in the basement. It looks like no one has been here for months. After a short investigation, Hoof finds out that the door to the school is equipped with a trap. With some skill he manages not to trigger the grenade. Since he has been quiet until now, Hoof decides to take a tactical approach that is rather unusual for him. He sneaks into the building. At least Hoof thinks he is sneaking. But you can't expect too much, usually the enemies hide from Hoof and not the other way around.

He finds a staircase leading to the second floor and can hear something splashing there. In addition, soft sobbing sounds of children can be heard a little further away. Hoof looks around the corner and sees a blood spirit that he takes a closer look at despite the BGC. Since it's only a small blood spirit and he can't get any further without taking it out of the way, Hoof decides to put it out of action with a well-aimed throw. After the ghost has disappeared thanks to a good hit, Hoof storms up the stairs and is immediately confronted with a blood mage who summons another more powerful blood spirit. Hoof is about to teach the blood spirit and his master that he is the king of the food chain when a small reporter with a flying drone camera jumps around the corner and stands in the way. Hoof yells at her to hurry up and leave the building, but the reporter doesn't listen, so Hoof engages the blood spirit and the blood mage in hand-to-hand combat and takes them both out.
