Delores in the mask and Dex carrying Hirt proceed through the mass of creatures as the passage is opened for them. Behind them, the crowd fills in again. In moments they have passed from the open plaza through the portal into the chill of the crypt itself. The crypt is huge and mostly empty, the bla...

As Delores maneuvers the shoulder rig, Dex becomes aware that some of the procession members have turned and are staring at them. The first to look, call the attention of others and awareness spreads in a ripple through the crowd. There is no apparent animosity in the crowd, just curiosity. As Delor...

Abruptly, as the end of the last procession files into the plaza, all sound ceases and the marchers stand expectantly. Almost all eyes are riveted on the entrance to the crypt.

Dex,Carrying Hirt costs 1 Athletics point. Retracing their path through the twisting alleyways takes some time, but isn't difficult. As they near the street, they hear the clangor of another procession and pause at the last turning, peeking occasionally to watch the parade until it is past. Delores...

Hirt thrashes feebly as Dex binds his wounds. By the time he's finished, the flashlight is barely glowing, but Hirt looks somewhat stronger and is no longer leaking blood. At least not so freely. As to the Chrysler Building, you both have seen a pale simulacrum intermittently glowing on this side of...

A heads up - I'll be away for a few days next week, accompanying my wife for a conference. I'll leave Thursday morning and return Saturday evening. I may have internet access sufficient to keep up with posts, but not certain.

Delores's flashlight flickers on and off (probably the result of being dropped) and the batteries seem to be waning. The stench becomes greater with each step deeper into the darkness. When they are below the level of the surrounding ground, the steps end in a dank stone chamber with a vaulted ceili...

Delores Shotgun: rolled 2 using 1d6. There is a curiously flat report and shotgun pellets seem to spew out in slow motion toward the lead beast. But when they strike among the tentacles quivering on its snout, a fine spray of ochre gel splatters. With a low moan, the creature scrambles away, its co...

After a few steps down there isn't enough light to see your hand in front of your face. As Delores fumbles in her purse for her flashlight, the shuffling sound gets louder, closer. Looking back up to the outside, framed in the doorway, you see -- http://www.epberglund.com/RGttCM/nightscapes/NS14/moo...

The cat flees, complaining, up the street. Beyond the tacky puddle with its scrap of cloth, a trail of not-quite-dry spatters lead into a narrow alley. It soon branches into a labyrinth of other narrow alleyways, but the trail doesn't end. Around a corner and the latest passage opens into an expansi...

As you reach the far end of the bridge ahead of the procession You see one of the strange cats at the mouth of a narrow alley. It’s snuffling at a scrap of tweed fabric stuck to the cobbles with dried blood. [Roll Evidence Collection, TN 4.] If Succeed with roll,It looks like the scrap of cloth foun...

Dex and Delores approach a narrow bridge across an expanse of black water, the procession is steadily drawing away and over the bridge. Soon it is out of sight, lost amid the narrow thoroughfares on the other side. On that far side they see the many bone white buildings shining as though made of ala...

Delores,You are out of Stability points and so cannot make the spend, but the unmodified die roll was sufficient. Dex rolled 6 using 1d6 for Stealth. Delores rolled 7 using 1d6+2 for Stealth. The cats stalk after Delores and set up a howl in harmony with the music of the procession. Dex notices tha...

Thanks for staying with us here.

I'll try to make my turnarounds quicker.

Totally understood, Matt. I hope you'll be able to revive it in the future. Please let me know if you do.

Arthur Dodgson "Ah," begins Dodgson diffidently, raising his index finger, "I'd like it noted that I am no longer in the Army and not an employee of the Company. I'm glad to serve in any capacity required -- with suitable remuneration, of course -- but I'm not subject to military ord...

Arthur Dodgson I expect that somewhere in this great city there is some other bloke name of Dodgson, crying his eyes out at this very moment on account of I got the invitation that was rightfully his, Arthur muses to himself, Well, they're welcome to what use of me they can get right up to the mome...

OOC,Delores loses 1 Stability,dropping her to 0. As Delores clings to Dex and he realizes that she is wearing the mask from the cult priestess, there is a skirl of pipes and a rattle of drums, commencing a discordant march reminiscent of the wild music heard in the deep cellars of the cult strongho...
