Leo paid the trip. The voyage in the train was swift. The landscape started to change subtly: modern and well kept houses, were substituted by ruined farms. The Dunwitch station was actually abbandoned place near the countryside. It just had a signal: "Village Commons"
-Nice place. I will have to walk a bit.
After less than a minute he saw an incredible creature: it had the forms of a women, but at the same time, it seem alien, like a temptress made in some hell. Leo tried to avoid her.

OOC,Sneak (1)+dark cloak (1)=2d6. Need one success. 3,3. Failed http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2400397/

She spott him immediatly.
She jumped to him and he could see that she wasn't indeed human, but from what hell she came, he couldn't tell; anywhay, he wasn't affected, since he was busy saving his own life.

OOC,Horror check: Will (2). Need one success. 6,1 Passed http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2400406/

Leo resign himself to fight

OOC,Combat: Fight (3)+.38 revolver(3)+Axe(2)-Heat(1)-Combat rating(2)=5d6. Toughness 2 (need 2 success): 6,3,4,3,6. Success. One monster trophy http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2400439/

He hit her with one shot in her heart (If indeed she had a heart) and another in the head, and she falled in the ground, soundless; her body vanished, except her hair.
-Maybe she was half human, and this is all that left, and the rest returned to hell.

Edit: Leo lost one stamina from failing the evade but his leadership prevents that.

Having cleared his head on the banks of the river, Harvey sat down with the mornings paper in the nearby tearoom. The front page had caught his eye "Extortion bomb threats leave Merchant District quaking". Tea and scones were soon forgotten as the now alert professor spread the broadsheet and his map in front of him, circling the locations of the threats in the article.

OOC,Exhaust Map of Arkham for +1 movement

Tracing the pattern of the locations, his suspicions grew. He had seen a similar pattern in diagrams rendered in graveyard soil itself upon the leaves of the ghastly Cultes Des Goules depicting the telling arrangement of burrows and entrance ways to that dread underworld. Was the Mad Bomber some misguided crusader who planned to seal those ancient bolt holes hidden in the basements of the innocent townsfolk?. Of course such reckless vigilantism was disturbing but what gripped the old man now was a deeper dread. That this town was truly riddled with catacombs not built by human limbs. Finally the cryptic texts and baffling incantations he had memorised from that book made terrible sense.

Turn 9 Arkham Encounter
Merchant District

OOC,[b]Michael[/b] spends $8 to remove $8 from the Mad Bomber, leaving $16. He now has $0 remaining.

Michael finds a group of merchants and talks to them about what's going on. They are taking up a collection in the hopes of paying off the bomber to keep him from blowing up buildings in Arkham.

"We can't have that," says Michael. "It's bad for business." Besides, some of the threatened buildings are O'Bannion's fronts, he thinks as he forks over all of his hard-earned cash.

Turn 9 Encounter

Monty can be seen searching the shelves of the Shoppe. Every now and then he stops and picks up an item and examines it before returning it to its place with a muttered, "Nope not what I am looking for. I know I saw it around here somewhere." The owner came along about an hour ago to try and assist him but even then they couldn't find what he was looking for and the little man was sent running back to his counter.

After another twenty minutes or so Monty walked to the counter carrying a leather bound tome which he set down saying, "This isn't what I need but I may have some use for it. If you would be so kind as to wrap it for me while I continue my search again."

Purchase,-$5

Turn 9 Encounter

ooc,Jenny avoids taking 1 sanity with Ammi's help. Jenny removes the skill concealment and gains the skill Luck.

Jenny gets up off her ass and looks around in complete bewilderment. She had never before experienced the horror of inter dimensional travel. She had glorious plans of entering the gates in Arkham but she had no idea a gate would appear so close to her. She obviously wasn’t as prepared as she thought she was and her mind still reeled from being sucked through an inter-dimensional portal to the Lost world of Carcosa.



Jenny shivered uncontrollably as she led her trio through the twisted tangled streets of Carcosa. The plinky twangy sounds of terrifying stringed monstrosities that perhaps only devils called music permeated every corner of the city. Jenny covered her ears and called out to her lover.

Run Eric Run!

They ran and ran as the sounds of warped pipes too high for mortal ears and drums too deafening for Jenny’s already weakened mind pounded all around them. Jenny was about to kill the old gardener Ammi amidst a fit of hysterical sadomasochistic interpretive dance, when the music suddenly stopped.

Whatever lessons in life Jenny had learned, she now forgotten. She just felt lucky to be alive.

C’mon boys lets keep moving.

Finally, a path descends. The valley flattens into a limitless plain. Just as Wilson's spirit rises he stops at the edge of a cliff; the path has fallen away, leaving a terrifying gap of several feet. Without a pause in his stride, Earl Sawyer leaps across, like a two legged cat:
"Wooo-ee!"
"I can't do it, the void will pull me down." Wilson spits.
"The jump is easy, like crossing a brook, what are you waiting for?"
"Listen, you f_ck_n' farmer, I'm scared of heights."

Michael ponders where to go next to continue his investigation. He decides to return to the Silver Twilight Lodge to see if he can learn any secrets of the mumbo jumbo that they so jealously guard.

"I'll jist jump back over then, Willy," says a disgruntled Earl Sawyer, "and there wern't a need to cuss at me; anyways, what's wrong with farmers?"
Wilson Richards is humiliated by his failure to leap accross the void, he is in a foul mood: "Farmers are pig-thick uneducated idiots, who spend their day walking in cow shit."
"Hark at you! Mr Hobo, I s'pose you've bin college learned."
Professor Rice interrupts, "It's a riveting conversation you two are having, I can't deny it. How are we going to get down from these mountains and back to Arkham?"
