Location: Norman Street
Date: March 25, 1921, 2:00 AM
.
As you pull up in your cars and get out, you are blocked from driving all the way up to the now smoldering building. At least a dozen police cars, 2 fire trucks and an ambulance are blocking the road.
Smoke still lingers in the air along with the smell of fire.
As you start to approach you hear a gun shot, and a scream come from closer to the house, you can't see what made the scream from where you are standing.
.

Posted: **Wed Apr 09, 2014 9:33 pm**

Harrison moves towards the place where the scream came from with grim determination. He is clutching the pognus in his one hand (OOC: I'm assuming it's been handed over to him), and carrying the paint bucket in the other.
When he gets close enough, he'll pop the lid and commence mixing in the final ingredient.

"Good luck, you guys."

Posted: **Wed Apr 09, 2014 11:26 pm**

Richard follows Harrison until he stops and starts preparing, he then walks infront of Harrison towards the direction of the house expecting that to be the direction that Corbit will come from. Richard nods his head to Harrison as Harrison wish's them luck and says with a smile "We will give you as much time as possible but dont take to long, and by the way it's been good knowing ya" then turns and puts a lttle distance between Harrison and himself but makes sure he can still see Harrison.

Richard looks through his satchel and gets out some rope, makes a lasso and opens it up to about 10 feet and lays it on the ground about 15 feet in front of Harrison in the direction of the house. he then lays the loose end of the rope out to the side for about 20 feet in the direction towards the house. If Corbit gets past him he hopes to be lucky enough to have Corbit step into the lasso as he goes after Harrison and then Richard will run with all his might to try to snag Corbit in the lasso and bring him to the ground and possibly drag him away from Harrison.

He says to every one else "Look if Corbit appears to still be bullet proof and just goes straight for Harrison and the Pongus we need to try to get him into this lasso so we can try to drag him away from Harrison"

After setting up backup plan C Richard pulls out Plans A & B and makes sure the safety is off on both weapons.

He then turns towards the house and starts to watch for signs of Corbit

Charles follows closely on Harrison's heels. He realizes he'll probably be useless against Corbitt, but figures he might be useful if any of the police or firemen try to interfere with Harrison's ritual.

Posted: **Thu Apr 10, 2014 1:43 pm**

Scott pulls the .45 from inside his jacket and checks the safety. He just knows that the first cop to come out of that building seeing guns is going to start shooting but Harrison seemed fairly insistant that he needs to have time to do whatever it is he has in mind.

With the German Mauser steady in her hand, Jordie clenches the pistol underneath her coat as she approaches slowly by Scott's side, the sweat on her brow sizes in numbers the more she got closer to the fire.

Posted: **Sun Apr 13, 2014 5:16 pm**

Sonny joins you, his trumpet in hand.
.
As the 6 of you make your way up past the first set of road blocks, you can see the smoldering house and the carnage in front of you. At least 20 bodies are strewn about the area, and blood is everywhere. About 50-60 feet away from you, you can see the form of Corbitt hunched over a body ripping part of his neck out with his teeth. He is covered in blood on both his hands and his face. As he stands into a crouch, you can see his belly is slightly bloated now, probably from drinking too much. The horror of the scene is overwhelming, as well as seeing Corbitt again. An urge to run wells up in you, as you did once before.
. .
Harrison puts the bucket of paint down, runs the Pognus across his arm and lets his blood flow into the bucket while yelling out the name "Corbitt".

At the sight of the monster that is Corbitt, Scott comes to an immediate halt suddenly nervless fingers dropping the heavy pistol to the ground.

The dead bodies strewn in wild abandon around the place hardly fased him, but as Corbitt, chin wet with blood that dribbled from its mouth turned hateful eyes toward him, something snapped. Scott's mind did a back flip as blackness consumed him...

Posted: **Mon Apr 14, 2014 2:23 am**

Confronted with the horror of the blood and the destruction, Charles lets out a yell and staggers a few steps back. "We can't...!" he yells, a strained tone to his voice. "It's too... The things... THE BLOOD!"

Posted: **Mon Apr 14, 2014 3:14 am**

Posted: **Mon Apr 14, 2014 3:19 am**

Overwhelmed by the violence and destruction, Charles turns tail and runs blindly away, as fast as his legs will carry him, yelling incomprehensibly all the while.

Posted: **Mon Apr 14, 2014 11:03 am**

There was a sense of panic and despair spreading around, and Jordie wondered if this was what the Great War had looked like, as she saw the seasoned veteran Scott in complete shock more so by the creature, than the uniform men that laid mess. Jordie stood her ground and shifted her heels into the dirt, drawing the pistol ready to her shoulder and taking aim. Something inside her clicked, that made her raise her gun at the monster, it wasn't out of deserved justice or sheer bravery. Money didn't cross her mind, but she was ready to meet death not as an adversary, but as an equal.

Posted: **Mon Apr 14, 2014 1:09 pm**

Harrison saw the chaos, the bloody ichor dripping from Corbitt's claws. Though his mind reeled, he managed to steel himself for the coming confrontation.

Posted: **Tue Apr 15, 2014 12:29 am**

Posted: **Tue Apr 15, 2014 2:56 am**

.
Richard screams out and drops to his knees next to the nearest body and starts eating it.

Posted: **Tue Apr 15, 2014 5:35 am**

Sonny had seen a lot of things in his life, but nothing compared to this.
. . . . .
Sonny shakes off the cobwebs, he wasn't about to let this Corbitt do anymore damage.

Posted: **Tue Apr 15, 2014 5:45 am**

OOC: At this point Harrison, Jordie and Sonny are the only ones who can act. Richard has really gone over the edge joining Corbitt in a blood feast, Scott is standing there gibbering to himself, and Charles gave up and ran for the hills.
It is your tun to act, Corbitt is about 50-60 feet away. A long range for a pistol shot, but make-able. Let me know what your plan is for this round.

Posted: **Tue Apr 15, 2014 8:02 am**

OOC: That escalated quickly.

Harrison thrusts his brush into the paint and starts painting a great circle on the ground, the pognus clutched in his free hand to ward off any evil.

"Keep him distracted!"

Posted: **Wed Apr 16, 2014 5:54 pm**

Sonny watches the others freak out and he realizes he must have looked the same down in the basement. He had swore never again, but looking around, he isn't so sure. He looks down at his trumpet, "Well this damn thing won't do much if he just wants to rip us to shreads with his hands."
.
Sonny scans the ground and spots a shotgun laying not too far away. "Any thoughts doll face?" figuring at this point, he doesn't need to worry about formalities. "I don't see how we can hold him off for long," as he runs over to the shotgun and picks it up. Its still warm and obviously didn't seem to do much for its former owner. But if Harrison can drop the things defenses, it doesn't take much skill to use one of these boom sticks.

Posted: **Thu Apr 17, 2014 12:59 am**

Richard continues to flail away and howl at the body at his feet now that he has completly lost it with the sight of everything that is going on around him.

Posted: **Thu Apr 17, 2014 10:55 am**

It was an all-you-can-eat buffet with Boston's finest men that laid in pieces, as Corbitt feasted upon the slaughter, Jordie looked back at the rest of the group all standing in horror still — ripe for the bleeding. Not wanting to break the silence in the air, Jordie lowered her weapon down and looked around for anything creative. A fire hose or a fire axe? Jordie had a spare rope that might come in handy, but there doesn't seem to be anything promising.

OOC: Is there any emergency vehicles close by to Corbitt or in the direction away from Harrison? I can try sneaking up to the car and pulling the emergency sirens on. Could be my first time I can finally get to use my Sneak skill

Posted: **Thu Apr 17, 2014 12:17 pm**

Posted: **Fri Apr 18, 2014 12:04 am**

Harrison is staring intently at Corbitt, he puts down the brush, having completed the circle and then raises his hands, softly chanting some barely audible words.

"sanguine tibi do Haita!"

He cuts the palm of his right hand and slowly squeezes the blood onto the ground.

Posted: **Fri Apr 18, 2014 2:34 am**

Posted: **Fri Apr 18, 2014 2:47 am**

Corbitt begins moving over towards Sonny. He is now within 10' of Sonny. Sonny is standing there with his Shotgun pointing at Corbitt.
.

Posted: **Fri Apr 18, 2014 3:05 pm**

Sonny glances over his shoulder towards Harrison You nearly done back there? Mr. Munchkin has his eye on me and I don't feel like being dessert

Sonny takes a few steps backwards, towards Harrison the shotgun levelled at Corbett's chest.

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2014 11:54 am**

Jordie gets up from crouching beside a police vehicle, and immediately begins running to the left to circle around. Keeping a safe distance away, Jordie draws her weapon and lines up her shots, the police sirens singing in off-key harmony straining Jordie's focus.

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2014 5:21 pm**

Richard continues to howl uncontrolably as he drenches himself in the blood of the body he has been tearing into.

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2014 6:23 pm**

OOC: OOC All, We are starting the 2nd round. It should be Sonny, then Harrison, then Jordie. Those who went coo-coo are still that way. Charles, you can stop running as you are a safe distance away, but your mind is still gripped with fear.

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2014 8:20 pm**

OOC: Sonny will try and kep himeelf between Corbett and Harrison - he will use the shotgun if necessary

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2014 9:59 pm**

Harrison keeps repeating the same phrase, holding the dagger in front of him.

Posted: **Sat Apr 19, 2014 10:09 pm**

Sonny, Corbitt does not appear to be going towards Harrison, but looks like he is about to attack you.

Posted: **Sun Apr 20, 2014 1:48 pm**

Charles manages to stop and looks back at the carnage, still panting. Seeing Corbitt looking at Harrison, Charles feels like he should do or say something, but nothing comes. There's just the emptiness of the shock, that seems to have completely paralyzed him.

Posted: **Tue Apr 22, 2014 2:50 am**

OOC: I am still waiting on Sonny and Jordie's actions. If you want to wait to see what Corbitt will do, that is fine as well. I just need to know.

Posted: **Tue Apr 22, 2014 6:16 am**

Two shots fired, one hitting and the other zipping by.

Posted: **Tue Apr 22, 2014 2:18 pm**

Sonny let's fire with shotgun - the shot blasting wide of the mark.

Posted: **Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:40 pm**

As Corbitt closes in on Sonny, the shotgun goes off wild even at point blank range. Jordie takes 2 shots at normal range, 1 misses everything, but came too close to Sonny for his taste. One looks like it hits, but seems to have no affect at all.
.
Harrison continues to chant and cut on himself with the pognus.
.
Corbitt swings his bloody claws at Sonny.
. .
The first claw misses, but the second impales itself into Sonny's chest.
. .
Corbit hand rips out of his chest holding the heart of Sonny still in its claws. Sonny falls lifeless to the ground. He turns towards Jordie.
.

Posted: **Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:56 pm**

OOC: we are into another round. Jordie and Harrison, each of you need to make another Sanity check for seeing Sonny die so violently 0/1d6, then do actions assuming you don't suffer 5 points sanity loss.

Posted: **Tue Apr 22, 2014 10:51 pm**

Harrison
OOC: Awee, that was indeed harsh, 5 Sanity to see Sonny get mangled!

Posted: **Wed Apr 23, 2014 3:21 am**

OOC: Ben, I presume I'm still paralyzed in shock?

Posted: **Wed Apr 23, 2014 6:10 am**

OOC: I think Papa Gateau is able to use a Dodge roll or Parry with his shotgun, so long as he calls for it? Especially when Sonny sees the first attack missing and sees the follow up of the second?

Posted: **Wed Apr 23, 2014 12:01 pm**

OOC: sonny cannot use dodge as he attacked. But he could parry with the shotgun to prevent the untimely demise. Which would also stop Harrison from going nuts. Sonny please make a parry roll. For those who are temp insane there is a chance to come out of it at the end of this round. I will let you know. It's not looking good for the home team though.

Posted: **Thu Apr 24, 2014 2:06 pm**

Posted: **Thu Apr 24, 2014 2:07 pm**

OOC: So Sonny did have his heart ripped out and Harrison failed his rolled as well. I need Harrison to make an Idea roll for me. Jordie you need to make a Sanity roll.

Posted: **Thu Apr 24, 2014 7:49 pm**

"You are the music while the music lasts"

As Jordie watches Sonny's body tumble beside his trumpet, she grips her pistol harder and clenches her teeth.

Posted: **Fri Apr 25, 2014 7:13 am**

OOC: I couldn't see my Parry stat - but I rolled 31, so my bleeding heart is truly ripped from chest

Posted: **Fri Apr 25, 2014 11:16 am**

Though his nerves are frayed, Harrison remains in control and continues his incantation.

"Laudo Kaiwan astri dominu, accepet hoc sacrificium!"

Posted: **Fri Apr 25, 2014 3:28 pm**

Posted: **Sat Apr 26, 2014 1:46 am**

OOC: So we are going into a new round. It is Jordie and Harrison's turn.

Posted: **Sat Apr 26, 2014 4:56 am**

Richard continues to Howl at the top of his lungs and throw blood from the body he has been ripping at everywhere

Posted: **Tue Apr 29, 2014 12:42 am**

Jordie shoots at the creature, "Over here!" She shouts, grabbing Corbitt's attention.

Posted: **Tue Apr 29, 2014 4:49 pm**

For the briefest of moments, Harrison locks eyes with Jordie and nods. You're unsure whether he's wishing luck or saying goodbye, but he then focuses his thoughts on Corbitt again.

Repeating his chant in high-pitched voice.

"Laudo Kaiwan astri dominu, accepet hoc sacrificium!"

Posted: **Wed Apr 30, 2014 4:35 am**

Corbitt turns his head towards the screaming Jordie. He lopes over to her with an incredible speed.
.

Posted: **Wed Apr 30, 2014 7:02 am**

OOC: Can I try anticipating to do a dodge?

Posted: **Wed Apr 30, 2014 3:52 pm**

OOC: He cannot attack this round, as he spent the whole round moving towards you. You normally get 2 shots, so you can take your 2nd one now without worry.
Next round if you want to go defensive then don't shoot next round. He will get 2 attacks, if you don't attack you get 1 dodge attempt. You can't normally parry with a pistol, but if you have the stock on it, its more like a rifle so I'll give you a parry. So if he hits twice, you can dodge 1 and parry the 2nd.

Posted: **Thu May 01, 2014 6:12 am**

Jordie shot once more.

Posted: **Thu May 01, 2014 1:53 pm**

OOC: since you were point blank range for the 2nd shot, your shot impaled. But Corbitt gets a chance to dodge since he isn't attacking this round.

. .
Corbitt doesn't bother to dodge and takes the full shot.

OOC: please roll for the 2nd half of the damage

Posted: **Thu May 01, 2014 5:23 pm**

Posted: **Fri May 02, 2014 1:47 pm**

Jordie gets a great shot off, that would kill a normal man. Previous shots seemed to simply hit some shield and fall to the ground. This one appears to have penetrated the shield and a chunk of skin falls off like it was made of clay, and only his muscle structure is showing in that spot.
. .
Charles comes to his senses and realizes his friends need his help. He is a good distance from the action, but if you run back this round you could get back into the fighting next round.

OOC: This ends this round. We are now into the next round. Charles, Jordie and Harrison please post your intentions and attacks if any.

Posted: **Fri May 02, 2014 2:38 pm**

Charles makes his way back, half-running, half-walking, in a daze, thinking he should do something but terrified to do it. As he goes back, he looks around for anything that might be used as a weapon; half cursing himself from not having gotten a gun at the Museum earlier, half reflecting that even if he'd had, he'd be more likely to shoot off his own foot than whatever he was aiming at.

Posted: **Sun May 04, 2014 5:51 am**

Richard, covered in blood now, continues to howl as he tears at what little is left of the body before him.

Posted: **Sun May 04, 2014 9:21 pm**

Harrison's eyes widen as he sees the bullet tear through Corbitt.
With renewed vigor he chants the obscure phrase, waving the pognus through the air in a mesmerising pattern.

Posted: **Mon May 05, 2014 3:19 am**

With Corbitt closing fast, Jordie starts pacing away from him as she creates distance for Harrison. Jordie levels her gun behind her, ready for anything Corbitt throws at her, as she tries to find the nearest cover.

Posted: **Mon May 05, 2014 5:29 pm**

As Harrison continues to chant, Jordie is drawing Corbitt from him. Charles makes it back to the action, he sees his friend Sonny laying on the ground a huge gapping wound in his chest. Now the creature is on top of Jordie who seems to be trying to run from it. He notices a .38 laying by the hand of a dead cop, nearby. He can get to it next round and probably still get a shot off, if there are any rounds left in the pistol.
.
As Jordie flees trying to fend off Corbitts attachs, you here him hackling at you.
. .
Corbitt looks like his aim is true.

Posted: **Tue May 06, 2014 1:49 am**

Charles goes for the gun, silently praying Corbitt does not see him.

Posted: **Tue May 06, 2014 2:50 am**

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2014 7:38 am**

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2014 7:45 am**

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2014 4:05 pm**

Jordie screams out as both of Corbitt's claws pierce her back on each side at her kidneys. He pulls her close to him and you can feel his cold body against yours as the blood begins to run down your hips.
. .
The horror of realization crosses your face as Corbitt smiles and lets you slump to the ground.
. .

Posted: **Thu May 08, 2014 4:27 am**

As Jordie slips to the ground you can see she is still alive, but probably not for long. Corbitt looks around, Harrison and Charles are about the same distance. Corbitt looks at Charles and starts heading your way, he won't get there till the end of this round.
. .

OOC: Sorry boys, Harrison and Charles you are free act. Jordie you may do one limited action.

Posted: **Thu May 08, 2014 8:46 am**

Seeing Corbitt beginning to come towards him, Charles gives up hope for the gun and instead simply tries to get away as fast as possible from the monster.

Posted: **Fri May 09, 2014 7:55 pm**

OOC: Is everyone frozen with horror???

Posted: **Fri May 09, 2014 11:59 pm**

Richard covers his eyes with his blood soaked hands trying to screen out everything in front of him and get a handle back on his sanity, unfortunatly he continues to howl out and dosent listen to his quiet sanity trying to gain control of his mind again.

Posted: **Sat May 10, 2014 7:00 pm**

Harrison stares on slack-jawed as Jordie slumps to the ground. He only knew her for a few odd days, but somehow seemed rather shaken.

He fixed his eyes on Corbitt, blood and sweat streaming down the pognus as he gripped it tighter, his lips moving with unheard words.

OOC: Sorry for the delay, I was afflicted by an interesting combination of a stomach and head bug.

Posted: **Sun May 11, 2014 9:34 am**

Jordie couldn't move the way she wanted her body to do, only furious thoughts as she spit blood into Corbitt's face.

Jordan "Jordie" Lynch thinking: "But whether a mere man can know the [i]truth[/i], whether a seer can fathom more than I— there is no test, no certain proof though matching skill for skill [i]a man can outstrip a rival[/i]. No, not till I see these charges proved will I side with his accusers.... Never will I convict my king, never in my heart." ~ Oedipus Rex Sophocles

With her last breath, Jordie struggles her arm up but the weight of the pistol gives and her legs buckle, the gun tumbling to the ground.

Posted: **Sun May 11, 2014 5:01 pm**

The blood and spittle ran down Corbitt's face as he turned towards Charles. As Charles scampered away Corbitt jerked his head towards Harrison. A raspy voice that was more similar to fingernails on a chalkboard than to a normal voice screeched out across the macabre scene of the street.
"You do not control me Wielder. Only the King can tell me when there has been enough blood to sate his thirst."
. .
Instead of chasing after Charles, he instead strides up to Richard, his hands and face covered in blood and a wild look in his eyes. "What of this one Wielder, should we have him join us, or sacrifice him to the King?"

Posted: **Sun May 11, 2014 5:13 pm**

OOC: This starts a new round. Scott and Richard have come out of their temp insanity. Scott and Charles are both near Harrison, within 10-15 yards. Richard is about 25 yards away and Corbitt is standing next to him. Charles you had moved away from the firearms for now, so there is not one within reach. Scott there is a .38 near you, you could probably get it and fire 1 shot this round if it is loaded. Richard, you are on top of a police man, you realize what you have been doing and it sickens you, but the thought of death standing above you overwhelms the need to throw up. There is a shotgun on the ground next to you, you don't know if its loaded or not. And you have your own weapons still.

Posted: **Sun May 11, 2014 7:31 pm**

Harrison felt the bile rise in his throat. His voice was hoarse and strained, his eyes looking more haunted than ever as the blood dripped in thick drops from his cut hand clutching the pognus.

"The Wielder commands you to retreat to your unholy sepulchre, Corbitt, there to await the return of the King!Go back into the shadows or be destroyed!Obey the will of the King!"

Harrison kneels, seizing the paint brush in his free hand, he starts retracing the symbols as he utters more arcane words.

"Et incarnatus est de diis, donum quod dedisti tollere"

Posted: **Mon May 12, 2014 2:56 am**

As Richard finally recovers his sanity he briefly looks at his bloodied hands and arms trying to figure out what had overcome him.
As he sees Corbitt staring at him and yelling at someone about him he immediatly goes into a defensive mode.
Richard cautiously moves away from Corbitt in the oposite direction of where Harrision is, keeping his eye on Corbit ready to dodge any type of swing or attack Corbitt tries to through at him.

Posted: **Mon May 12, 2014 3:26 pm**

Posted: **Tue May 13, 2014 1:51 am**

Charles looks around to see if there is anything burning, anything that might be used as a torch. He figures that it's as likely to be vulnerable to fire as to anything else.

Posted: **Tue May 13, 2014 1:54 am**

Charles looks around, there isn't really anything on fire. The house was, but that was put out.
.

Posted: **Tue May 13, 2014 4:43 am**

Posted: **Tue May 13, 2014 9:00 am**

Scott shakes his head and blinks his vision clear as if emerging from a deep sleep, one filled with nightmares and horror.

Scott thinking: What the hell?

In one quick glance he sees what is happening. He also notices an .38 lying close by, no doubt dropped by a law officer. Without further thought he picks up the pistol and takes aim at the creature that he partialy recognises from the basement earlier.

"Hey asshole...eat this" he pulls the trigger...

Posted: **Tue May 13, 2014 7:34 pm**

Posted: **Wed May 14, 2014 1:54 am**

Charles begins moving back closer to the fray.

Posted: **Wed May 14, 2014 4:34 pm**

Charles is still dancing around hiding behind police cars outside of the main fray.
Harrison puts the final touches on his circle.
Scott, picked up the pistol and fired a shot, but it went wild.
Richard, rolled over the shotgun picking it up on the way as Corbitt hunches down and swings twice at Richard.
. .
1 of his claws goes wild but the other looks like it is going to hit.
.

Posted: **Thu May 15, 2014 1:43 am**

Richard rolls backwards away from Corbitt and Harrison just before Corbitts second swing makes contact with him continuing to try to draw Corbitt further away from Harrison.

Richard yells out "Someone get a car and try to run him down"

Posted: **Thu May 15, 2014 1:57 am**

OOC: Good Job, this is the end of the round. A new round of actions can begin. Feel free to post what you are doing.

Posted: **Thu May 15, 2014 2:01 am**

Charles looks at the cars near him to any where the key might be in the ignition.

Posted: **Thu May 15, 2014 2:21 am**

Richard keeps his eye on Corbitt preparing himself to dodge and parry Corbitts next round of attacks

Posted: **Thu May 15, 2014 4:15 am**

There are a lot of cop cars around, most look like they still have the keys in them.

Posted: **Thu May 15, 2014 5:07 am**

Charles does his best to get stealthily and quickly in a police car, turn on the ignition, and head for Corbitt.

Posted: **Thu May 15, 2014 11:38 am**

Harrison casts the brush into the bucket and stands tall inside the pentagram. He aims the pognus at Corbitt and chants in a loud voice.

"ET INCARNATUS EST DE DIIS, DONUM QUOD DEDISTI TOLLERE"

Posted: **Fri May 16, 2014 3:57 am**

OOC: Just waiting on Scott's move.

Posted: **Fri May 16, 2014 7:45 pm**

"Damn!" shouts Scott as he sees his shot go awry.
Gritting his teeth in cold determination, he moves crabwise away from Harrison hoping to draw Corbet's attention. As he moves he aims the pistol once more, hoping there is another shell in the cylinder.

Posted: **Fri May 16, 2014 8:45 pm**

Charles finds a police car and jumps in. The keys are still in the ignition and the engine roars to life.
Scott fires wildly, obviously worried about hitting Richard laying at the feet of Corbitt.
Richard in full defensive mode is rolling about wildly hoping to miss the deadly claws of Corbitt.
And Harrison chants in Latin.
.
Corbitt looks back to Harrison and takes a step towards him (away from Richard). "Traitor, The King will eat your soul for this betrayal."Corbitt then looks over at Scott and says, "Pareo!"
. .
He then continues speaking to Scott, "Shoot the traitor Harrison."

Posted: **Fri May 16, 2014 8:49 pm**

OOC: After Scott rolls, this ends the round. You may now post actions for next round. Charles, if you wish to try and run down Corbitt you need to make a Drive Auto roll. Harrison, you may try your incant again. Richard he is about 4-5 feet away from you at this point, he could possibly get 1 attack on you, but right now has his back to you. Scott your action will depend on your resistance roll.

Posted: **Fri May 16, 2014 10:26 pm**

Harrison seems put off by Corbitt's sudden shit in attention and he mumbles the spell.

"ET INCARNATUS EST DE DIIS, DONUM QUOD DEDISTI TOLLERE"

Richard is holding his action to see what Corbitt does, if Corbitt starts to move towards Harrison he will blast Corbitt with the shotgun to try to get Corbitts attention back on himself, if Corbitt turns and attacks Richard, Richard will attempt to Dodge and parry again.

OOC: I propbably will not be able to check in or post again until Sunday evening

Posted: **Mon May 19, 2014 12:24 am**

OOC: In an attempt speed things along.

.
Scott tries his best to resist Corbitt trying to control him.
. .
But Corbitt's will is too strong and Scott turns the gun on Harrison and fires.
. .
The first shot barely misses Harrison and with a click, the pistol is out of bullets.
.
Corbitt watches as the car barely misses him.
. .
Of course Charles has a hard time steering and the car misses Corbitt but instead is barreling right over Richard.
. .
Corbitt again speaks to Scott, "Tackle him, knock him out of that circle."
.

Posted: **Mon May 19, 2014 9:53 am**

Harrison braces himself, hoping Scott will be able to resist and cries out the incantation, but he finds his resolve lacking:

"ET INCARNATUS EST DE DIIS, DONUM QUOD DEDISTI TOLLERE"

OOC:Aarrgh, bloody dice!!!

Posted: **Mon May 19, 2014 12:52 pm**

"Damn it Richard get clear of..." Scott's eyes take on a glassy look.

OOC: Whoops! Just noticed that my reply is somewhat unecessary as things have moved on

Posted: **Mon May 19, 2014 1:07 pm**

Glassy eyed Scott watches his bullet go wild. He pulls the trigger and is rewarded with a click as the hammer lands on a spent chamber. Like a dreamer Scott drops the empty pistol and runs at Harrison like an enraged linebacker.

Posted: **Mon May 19, 2014 3:11 pm**

.

OOC: Please note we are getting a little ahead of ourselves. We still need Richard to resolve the issue of the car hitting him, or him dodging it first. So lets hold off on any other actions till that happens. Dr. V is usually pretty fast to post.

Posted: **Mon May 19, 2014 8:56 pm**

OOC: Damn it, Ben, I'm as excited as Jim Kirk on a planet filled with naked, Irish, alien ladies up for a good spanking.

.
Charles panics as he sees Richard in the headlights. He slams on the brakes but the car lurches forward increasing speed. He realizes too late he has pushed on the gas and not the brake.
.
The car slams into Richard slamming into his body and launches him through the air. His limp body hitting the ground with a loud thud.
. .
A loud groan lets everyone know he managed to live through the hit, but barely.
.

Posted: **Tue May 20, 2014 4:43 am**

OOC: Ok, that officially ended that round. In the new round, Harrison has already tried his spell and failed. Scott tried his resistance and failed, so is trying to tackle Harrison this round. Charles is free to act this round. Richard cannot do anything this round except lay there. But he is alive and awake. A small miracle, that would have killed about every other player in the game.

.

OOC: Scott and Harrison: Scott will attempt a grapple roll, if he succeeds, Harrison may attempt a dodge. If Harrison fails the dodge, then I want Scott to roll a strength vs strength resistance roll to tackle him out of the circle. Str 12 vs 9 means Scott has a 65% chance to knock Harrison out of the circle if he hits with the grapple and Harrison fails to dodge.

Posted: **Tue May 20, 2014 3:56 pm**

Posted: **Tue May 20, 2014 4:14 pm**

OOC: You missed on purpose. Just down to Charles and Corbitt now. Charles what do you do?

Posted: **Wed May 21, 2014 1:12 am**

Richard rolls over in complete pain taking in the situation in front of him then quitely says "I said to run Corbitt over not me" to no one in particular.

Posted: **Wed May 21, 2014 2:10 am**

Charles tries to hit Corbbitt again with the car.

Posted: **Wed May 21, 2014 2:58 am**

As you pass Corbitt and send Richard flying, you throw it in reverse and slam on the gas heading for Corbitt.
.
He attempts to dodge out of the way.
. Corbitt gets slammed by the car, but it just didn't have as much speed as it did before.
. .
While it threw Corbitt a few feet and he fell to the ground, it didn't appear to do any real damage. Perhaps if you were going faster.
.

OOC: We are ready to go to a new round. Scott, you are still controlled, you may break it with a resistance roll of 25%. If you fail you will continue to try and tackle Harrison. Harrison you can continue to try the incant while trying to dodge from Scott. Charles, you are only a few feet from Corbitt, running over him may do more damage. Richard, you may act this round, but no running.

Richard moves as quickly as his aching body will let him to a nearby fire hose laying unused on the ground.

Posted: **Wed May 21, 2014 3:32 pm**

Posted: **Thu May 22, 2014 3:14 pm**

OOC: Still waiting on Harrison and Charles for this round.

Posted: **Fri May 23, 2014 2:12 am**

Charles tries running over Corbitt once more.

Posted: **Fri May 23, 2014 5:40 pm**

OOC: If Dr. P doesn't post by this evening I'm going to do it for him and move things along. So be prepared to move on tonight.

Posted: **Fri May 23, 2014 7:03 pm**

Harrison bend like a reed in the wind, evading Scott's clumsy tackle.

He straightens himself up, rips open his shirt and slashes the pognus over his chest above his heart. As the blood runs thickly, he exclaims in a loud, imperious voice.

"ET INCARNATUS EST DE DIIS, DONUM QUOD DEDISTI TOLLERE"

Posted: **Fri May 23, 2014 8:09 pm**

Scott dives at Harrison but trips on some blood, sending him sprawling out of the circle. At that same time, Richard turns the hose on Scott trying to keep him away from Harrison. The water making it very difficult for Scott to stand up.
.
Harrison cuts his chest and screams outloud in Latin and an ice cold wind swirls around Corbitt laying on the ground. He screeches out in a language you have never heard. .
Charles guns the car again hoping to catch him under the tires. Corbitt tries to roll to the side and towards Harrison.
. .
He nimbly avoids the car and is on his feet sprinting towards Harrison. You can see his mouth moving, but over the screaming and water spraying and car revving, you cannot hear what he is saying.
.

OOC: A New ROUND is begining. Everyone please post your plan. Scott you are on the ground, to resist the control you need a 30 or lower. And to get up with the water spraying you need a combo of Str and Dex. So lets say (Str*5 + Dex*5)/2 = 55% to get up. That is all you can do this round, If you resist you may choose to stay down or get up.
Richard, the hose had a lot of power when you first turned it on, but now it seems to be losing force. Charles, Corbitt dodged the car and is running towards Harrison perpendiculor to your car. You would have to spend a round getting the car turned to make another run at him. Harrison, Corbitt is almost on top of you and can attack this round. You can attack him or do something else. You see hatred in his eyes as he continues to move his mouth. You may make a listen check.

Posted: **Fri May 23, 2014 9:57 pm**

Fighting the flow of water Scott begins to rise to his feet, "Hey Richard turn it off!"

Posted: **Sat May 24, 2014 5:33 am**

Richard drops the hose and pulls out one of his pistols and starts towards Harrison & Corbitt, he tries to take an angle to give himself a better shot at hitting Corbitt next round without hitting Harrison if he misses.

Posted: **Sat May 24, 2014 7:08 am**

Posted: **Sat May 24, 2014 2:49 pm**

OOC: Looks like we are just waiting on Harrison again to move forward.

Posted: **Sun May 25, 2014 2:36 pm**

Harrison bolts, trying to draw Corbitt with him and in front of the car.

OOC/ Here's a random roll in case you need one:
[dice]0[/dice]

Posted: **Sun May 25, 2014 5:02 pm**

Scott manages to get himself off the ground as the water lets up, Richard draws his pistol but not having a safe shot at this distance hobbles over to the side of Corbitt and Harrison to get a better angle. Charles struggles with the clutch and stick but with a bit of grinding gets the car realigned to make another run at Corbitt next round. Harrison lures Corbitt out into a spot directly in front of Corbitt trying to get away, but Corbitt strikes like a serpent and attacks Harrison.
. .
Harrison tries to dodge out of the way and fails. One of the claws strikes home. A scream emits from Harrison's mouth. He tries to block the 2nd attack with the knife in his hand.
. .
Harrison blocks the 2nd claw with the Pognus, but now isn't sure if that wasn't his target all along. He grabs the blade of the Pognus that slices into his hand, down to the bone. But you are more worried about the claw around your throat. Then you can hear the Latin he has been speaking. In these final moments when things seem lost a clarity of mind comes to you.
. .
His claw scraps across your neck,doing minimal damage. He seems to have missed anything vital but blood is still flowing from you and down your chest.
. .
Everyone sees a small black spot appear near Corbitt. It is about 2 feet tall about 6 inches wide and is floating about 2 feet off the ground. It has a glowing aura of different colors around it.
Harrison appears to be hanging on, only by a thread, blood running down his neck. His hand on the hilt of the Pognus, Corbitts hand around the blade. A dark icor is running down Corbitts arm from where his hand has been cut by the blade.

Posted: **Sun May 25, 2014 5:28 pm**

OOC: This starts a new round. Richard, You are directly to the side of Corbitt and Harrison. Not point blank range but close. As long as you don't fumble you should be safe to shoot. Charles you are lined up to run Corbitt down, but Harrison is right behind him. There would be almost no way to hit one without the other. Scott you are off to the side and behind Corbitt. If you want to look for a weapon make a spot hidden check. Or you are free to act any other way you like. Harrison, you are holding the pognus, one of his claws is holding the blade. If he attacks and you don't let go you may not parry and dodge would be at 1/2. If you let go, you may dodge normally. Or you may attack in some way or do something else.

Posted: **Sun May 25, 2014 10:38 pm**

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2014 1:51 am**

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2014 5:20 am**

Richard now with a clear shot takes aim at the side of Corbitt's head and fires off a round from his pistol.

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2014 8:26 am**

Harrison lets out a defiant roar as he tries to pull the pognus from Corbitt grasping claws.

OOC: Can I still try to attack or run like a crazy monkey?
OOC2: RIchard shot me, didn't he? :p

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2014 9:59 am**

Charles holds hsi position, waiting for a chance to hit at Corbitt without dealing Harrison the coup de grace.

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2014 5:08 pm**

.

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2014 9:22 pm**

OOC: Oh how I hate the dice rolling on this website, Sorry Harrison

Richard squints trying to block out all of the pain searing through his body and the blood rolling down his face, arms, & and hands.

He stands there dumb founded realizing that he shot Harrison and not Corbitt

Posted: **Mon May 26, 2014 10:18 pm**

Harrison lets out a voiceless scream as he tries to plunge the pognus into Corbitt's face, but his arm seems to be failing him. Dizzily, he looks down at his chest, the torn shirt and the incredible amount of blood gushing out of it.

"Oh my..."

As he fades out, he imagines hearing the rustling of a cloak.

Posted: **Tue May 27, 2014 6:26 am**

Scott, now free of the water, picks himself up. Has a fast look to see what's going on and attempts to run at Corbitt. However the combination of blood and water was not good...

Posted: **Tue May 27, 2014 2:28 pm**

Charles sits by in the car, revving the engine ready to make a run at Corbitt. Richard aims carefully having a clear shot, and pulls the trigger.
But just as he does so, Harrison pulls the knife free of Corbitt's hand and stabs at him. Corbitt steps back as Harrison lunges forward, stepping right into the path of the deadly bullet. It strikes him directly in the chest. He is already dead before he looks down and sees the blood gushing out.
.
Scott tries to tackle Corbitt but misses. Corbitt uses one hand to rake across Harrisons dead face as he falls and uses the other to attack Scott with.
. .
But misses. We now have Scott and Corbitt side by side. Richard again you have a clear shot at Corbitt. Charles if you go to hit Corbitt you will probably hit Scott as well.
.

Posted: **Tue May 27, 2014 2:30 pm**

OOC: Taking this back, not end of round yet. Richard, if you pass your sanity check, or roll less than 5 points sanity loss you may take a 2nd shot. Scott is still there if you want to help Corbitt out again. Sorry couldn't resist.

Posted: **Wed May 28, 2014 1:24 am**

Posted: **Wed May 28, 2014 1:30 am**

Richard still beside himself that he hit Harrison refocuses his aim and takes a second shot at Corbitt and hits his mark this time.

Posted: **Wed May 28, 2014 3:16 am**

As the 2nd shot hits Corbitt, a large section of skin on Corbitt's back shatters and falls off. It reminds you of a pottery jar shattering. Underneath you can see his muscles. Something is definitely different.

OOC: Now it is a new turn.

.

Posted: **Wed May 28, 2014 3:33 am**

Charles stays in the car, revving the engine, waiting for a clear shot (as it were) at Corbitt.

Posted: **Wed May 28, 2014 5:08 am**

Richard calming himself now that his aim has finally been true and now noticing that Corbitt seems to be actually taking damage fires off 2 more shots.

Posted: **Wed May 28, 2014 4:32 pm**

As Richard starts firing again, Scott ducks down. The first shot hits Corbitt in the chest, shattering his skin there as well. Pieces of flesh colored pottery rain down on Scott. Richard can now see the muscle, lungs and black heart of the creature that had killed so many of his friends. A second shot rang out piercing the heart of the creature that hardly resembled a man anymore.
.
A loud screech emits from Corbitt's throat as he drops to his knees, gasping he searches for the Pognus laying somewhere at his feet. "Help ME!!" Corbitt screams out, while looking to the stars. But no help comes as he falls to the ground, and with a sigh, he exhales his last breath.

Posted: **Wed May 28, 2014 11:29 pm**

Richard starts to limp forward, still in great pain the beating his body has taken, towards the body of Corbitt to ensure that he has finally met his end.

Posted: **Thu May 29, 2014 10:44 am**

Scott quickly turns his head away from Corbitt, hoping to avoid the mess that Richard's shot hitting home has produced.
As Corbitt crumples to the ground, Scott hears his final words and glances down to his feet where the pognus lies still covered in Harrison's blood.
He bends and scoops it up, looks around at all the carnage that this thing had caused and in a burst of anger plunges the curved blade into the grinning face of the corpse.
"You want it buddy, you have it"

Posted: **Thu May 29, 2014 2:50 pm**

As Scott shoves the Pognus into Corbitt's face his body twitches then goes limp. You see a black gem in his mouth.

Posted: **Fri May 30, 2014 1:36 am**

Charles dashes out of the car. "Is it dead? Are we sure? Be careful!" he babbles, his voice a mixture of anxiety and relief.

Posted: **Fri May 30, 2014 1:52 am**

Richard limps up to the bodies with his gun still out and replies to Charles "Lets hope so"

Posted: **Fri May 30, 2014 10:08 pm**

As the 3 of you draw closer to Corbitt, he is not moving or breathing and now has a dagger stuck through his head, no skin and a bullet hole in his heart, that you can see. And you can see his heart is not beating. He appears very dead.
.
All 3 of you are now close enough to see the black gem in his mouth.
.
You hear sirens heading your way.

Posted: **Sat May 31, 2014 4:59 am**

Richard bends down and pulls the Pongus out of Corbitt and says "someone grab that gem we need to head out."

Posted: **Sat May 31, 2014 1:09 pm**

Charles takes a deep breath. "This is going to end badly," he mutters, and reaches out to get the gem.

Posted: **Sat May 31, 2014 4:22 pm**

Charles reaches out and takes the gem. As he does so it crumbles in his hand. The part of Corbitt you touch also crumbles.
.

Posted: **Sat May 31, 2014 4:28 pm**

You get to your cars and drive back to the museum passing several police, a fire truck, ambulance and a platoon of soldiers including a small tank.
.
As the 3 of you return to the museum Ms. Patton looks stunned, "only 3 of you? Where are the rest, oh please don't tell me?" And she pulls out a handkerchief.
.
As you make your way into the lounge and pour yourselves a drink the professor is there. "This was much tougher than I ever imagined it would be." He pulls out a handkerchief and wipes his brow. "Rest now, I fear there will be more work soon enough."
