(Mr. Foo's occult knowledge does not actually give him any working spells. He can do some mystical Chinese chant, but it won't actually protect him or increase the damage he causes. Nice roll, by the way. Too bad it makes Mr. Foo target #1 for the creature...)
In the project manager's office-
Jenny Cooper and
Mr. Foo heard
Michael call from the living quarters: "Hey! Whoever that is, we're over here and we have guns!"
Joe Barring shouted from much closer: "What are you shooting at?"
Mr. Foo chanted something in Chinese as he
unleashed a torrent of flame from the nozzle of the improvised flamer, striking the creature and
burning it somewhat. The tentacles that had gripped him,
Alice, and
Jenny got singed and charred, and they shriveled up and released them all. The flames had caused some damage to it, but it was far from dead.
Its tentacles shifted, becoming shorter and harder as new ones began to emerge from the creature's body. One of them
reached out and smacked Mr. Foo fairly hard on the right leg. His many years finally caught up with him, and the shock of the impact
rendered him unconscious. The flamethrower fell at his feet.
Three more tentacles reached out and
snagged Mr. Foo, Jenny, and Duke.
Jim Kerr could feel the weight of the creature start to crush him.
Joe Barring ran into view out in the hall.
Kimberly,
Sally,
Ellen,
Hockey, and
Willie were with him.
"It's another of those monsters!" called
Jenny, her voice full of terror. "Guns don't hurt it! Fire, acid, electricity, and water do!" She slung her M-14 on her back and took out her remaining flask of acid. She flung it at the thing with all her might, but
her throw was off and it shattered harmlessly on the wall. "There's more acid downstairs in the geology lab, and another flamer in the decontamination chamber!"
Meanwhile,
Kirby continued to speak: "November 2nd- The hatch has been locked down by order of
General Grey. Some of us were very upset about this, protested to the soldiers above, cursing them for leaving us here, trapping us.
Craig tried to shoot the hatch, but it's bullet proof and he nearly wounded one of the team. But most of us seem resigned, as if we should have expected this to happen. No further information is coming.
Duffy seems equally concerned and uncertain, but is following orders. What did they find?
Niedler and
Muth had a fight in the meeting room afterwards.
Bateman says it's the things below. The thing? What thing? Everyone on edge, acting strangely. I have contacted
Grey and Warren. They claim that by order of the President the lab needs to be placed into quarantine. He informs us that we are to continue to report our findings."
(All of the PCs are currently out of the fight. They're still alive, but two of them have been knocked out, one is temporarily insane, and another is paralyzed while being slowly consumed. Whether or not they survive depends on the other characters. Keep following this thread, and I'll let you know if and when you can act again.)
