IC: Ch 12: The Final Showdown

The old Corbitt house is shrouded in dark rumours and fearful whispers. Its past residents have all had grisly experiences in there, and the few which are able to speak of it will not. Now, pulled in by the promise of money, several investigators try to to find the house's dark secret.

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.

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!"

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.

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.

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  
The other children cheered him on. His name voiced in a steadily rising pace, urging him to do it. “Am I really doing this?”, the young boy thought and struck his victim with a rock.

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.

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.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
