Location: Chapel of Contemplation
Date: March 21, 1921, 9:30 PM


As you pull into the dead end street and get out, only seconds later another car pulls up. You quickly recognize it as the rest of the team from the Museum. It doesn't look like you were followed.

It does look much more ominous than it did for those here earlier. The shadows were bad enough, but all you have now is a 1/4 moon.

I reply to Warren "Yes are you?"

Richard continues "That file dosen't have much on the Chapel at all unfortunatley, we already know everything that was in it."

"Look what the cat dragged in," as Jordie throws a surprised remark towards Warren and Richard, she fishes around for a flashlight in her satchel. Lightheartedly poking fun at Richard "Richard, if you're gonna run off with your friends, at least finish your dinner before it gets cold."

Jordie walks up to Warren, "Bring me any gifts Texas?"

Harrison joins the party and lights another smoke.

"Well, if this isn't nice and romantic, sorry to disturb you guys like this.
So, how did the chase go? It looks like you caught the wrong reporter, Richard.
"

He looks around at the dismal place, peering into the darkness.

"What a hole...", Harrison knits his brow together as he's suddenly hit by a strange thought.
"Remember the bolted door in the house I told you fellows about? What if it connects to this creepy Chapel/cult's basement?"

Richard looks at Harrison and says "Lets just say I kept our pictures out of the paper until Monday"

"And what the hell do you mean the door in the house being connected to the door here you know how far that is?"

Before I answer to Richard's question, I cast an eye over the shadowed ground noting that it doesnt look that much worse than earlier, just that night gives it a more ominous aspect. Probably just my imagination, I think, "No, never carry one".
To Jordie I smile shake my head, "Sorry sweetheart, just him"
I give Harrison's comment serious thought, "I don't know, how far is the house from here as the crow flies? I saw tunnels in France the complexity of which would blow your minds. You'd be suprised how ingenious humans can be when properly motivated, and what ever was going on here may have been motivation enough"
I finish digging around in the cars trunk and produce an old, but working, flashlight. I look at the flashlight then at the expanse of wilderness, "Anyone else got a flashlight? And does anyone have any suggestion as to how we carry out this search?"

Harrison snorts at Richard's comment.

"It's about a block away, over there abouts."

He points in the general direction of Corbitt House.

"Jordie has a flashlight, so that makes two. I suggest we look for rectangular shapes that could indicate a subterranean stairwell, or area's that are more covered than others."


"If that albino was looking for the same, he's sure to have left some tracks or disturbance for us to find. We'll start over there on the far side, you guys start over here and we'll meet in the middle."

I look to where Harrison is pointing and nod, "Sounds good to me".
As I turn to walk away I light a cigarette and pull the small flask of booze from my coat pocket, "Helps keep the cold out and the heebie-jeebies at bay" I unscrew the cap and take a quick belt.

Pointing the flashlight between Warren and Richard, Jordie lets out a deep sigh as she walks alongside with Warren, "You should've just left him where you found him. Now we have to look after him before he gets himself into another jam. We could've had a bigger cut out of this gig."

Reflecting on Richard's comment, she didn't like the idea of having her fifteen minutes of fame, being a ghost hunter. Jordie imagined herself writing some great revelation of misunderstood humanity, or unearthing a long forgotten relic marking a historic moment in Egyptian archeology. She had thought she would amount more into life, than housecleaning an old home.

"OK, let's go," says Charles, walking alongside Harrison.
OOC,How big is the lot? Will the two groups be in sight/earshot of each other the whole time as they search? Or is it too big for that?

"Warren? I understand you want to go for a cosy walk with legs over here, but would you mind lending me your flashlight? It seems a bit unevenly distributed that your group should get both the looker and the lights."

He lights another fag as the exchange takes place and grins.

"Thanks, pal, you're a real trooper."

He flicks on the light and looks at the two other men.

"Alright boys, let's find some secrets."

OOC ALL,Love it guys, love the interaction. Also looks like I have a replacement for Muchinator who hasn't been on in almost 3 weeks. Now to answer some questions: 1. The old Corbitt house is less than a block away. Having a tunnel from here to there is not out of the question. 2. The lot is big but with no standing structures you can see each other or at least their flashlights across the lot. Its a U shape lot with the parking lot in the middle. Though the rubble on the front left and front right is not nearly as big as in the middle. 3. There are trees here and there and towards the back of the lot they start getting dense. If someone goes back there you could easily lose sight of them, even with a flashlight on. 4. Everyone of you have a flashlight in the satchels Ms. Patton backed for you when you got the job. 5. I am going by the assumption that 1/2 are going left the other 1/2 going to the right arm, then work around to the main rubble in the middle.

As the 2 groups split up, and start to walk the old lot you hear crunching noises under your feet. Shining the flashlight down you find pieces of old burnt wood, it is charred black, but you can see the wood that has broken open under the weight of your feet has a white powder inside the wood.
.
The warm hot muggy evening quickly gives way as a cold win whips through sending a chill over your arms and face.
It doesn't seem cold now that you think about it, just so different than what you have felt all day.

I bend and pick up a piece of the broken wood, carefully inspecting it by flashlight, "Now what the hell is this?"
I gesture towards the back of the lot, "It was over there by a fence that Jordie and me encountered our mysterious watcher. Although I am now convinced it was either Phil or Joe from the Globe" I grin at Richard but I don't think he notices in the dark, "You know, your new best pals"

Richard reply's "I figured it was them once I tracked them down and overheard there conversation, but if our albino is not connected to the church it brings up more questions to me on what the connection was and how Tom got involved. Currently I think the Reverend may have recruited him as the Reverend escaped from jail a few years back and has been in hiding ever since, so maybe recruiting a vagrant to do his errands would be how Tom ties into this."
ALL,ok so it looks like we all have flashlights and it is at least Warren, Jordie, and myself on one side (I will say the left) and the others on the right side? If anyone is doing something different or wants to change this please post so we all no where and who everyone is with

Having fallen into an introspective mood, Micheal had spent the last few minutes glancing around the chapel's ruins. The sight combined with the low amount of light unnerved him a bit, not that he'd admit it. This was all nonsense anyway, he was sure of it. They'd go into that damn house ready to exorcise a restless spirit, only to stumble on some bootlegging operation or something akin to it.

As the groups split up, he stomps out his cigarette and looks at Harrison and Charles. "Think I'll come with the both of you. Make sure you don't break anything."

"I'd run to the hills too if I saw your face," as Jordie gives a devious smile to Warren, playfully hitting him in the shoulder. Kneeling down beside Warren, Jordie holds her hand up into air and rubs the ash out of her finger, "Though if they wouldn't come within a yardstick to say hi, I don't know who you call friends Warren." Jordie wondered to herself how the weather and its elements haven't washed away the explosive makeover that littered the lot. Regardless, these were clear signs she was closer to ground zero of the truth. Or their doom.

Jordie left Richard's food for thought hanging in the air, as music seemed more appetizing food for the soul than listening to Richard serenade to the wind. Jordie wanted to dig up dirt on this albino clown that's been making all this trouble.

Harrison holds his flashlight against his chin and in a deep, almost ominous voice, he asks Michael:
"You mean our legs or the rubble?"

He lets out a chuckle and lights another cigarette.

Blinded by the light of the torch, Harrison fails to notice anything.

"We have company?" as Jordie whispers and clues in, she turns around and covers the rear with her flashlight, backtracking along with the group. She's a lover not a fighter, the thought of confrontation made Jordie's satchel stir nervously in the cold wind.

Harrison steps up next to Charles and looks at the white stuff on the wood too. He rubs it between his fingers and gives it a whiff.

"Do you think it's ash? Or some fire accelerator?"

You can tell its not ash. Your best guess might be salt. But you're not sure.

The team on the left is moving up towards the trees, while the team on the right has fallen behind looking at the wood.

"Let's take a sample and show it to the others and the Professor, maybe he knows something more. It just looks like salt to me."

Harrison pockets a sample and then brushes of his fingers, licking his thumb to get an idea of the residual taste.

"All right, let's move on, we've still got some ground to cover."

I nod in response to Richard's comment, "Yeah sounds like someone having a whisper party".
I follow Richard towards the woods keeping behind him as he has the gun and keeping my flashlight's beam low so as not to spotlight him.
"Jordie" I hiss out of the corner of my mouth, "Keep you light on the ground so as not to illuminate Richard and make him the perfect target".
I have a horrible feeling about this in my stomach, similar to the feeling I used to get waiting for the whistles to blow in the trenches. Half to myself I say, "I don't think its Phil and Joe having a meeting".

Harrison walks over the Sonny, shining his torch around the disturbed area.

"You a good eye, Sonny, I missed it completely."

He looks between Charles and Sonny, the one the rather bookish type and the other with the bruised arms and picks up the shovel, handing his torch to Sonny.

"Let's see how deep the rabbit dug his hole..."

Harrison starts to remove the disturbed earth, a few inches at a time.

Jordie draws the pocket knife from her satchel with her small feeble hand, as she covers the rear with her flashlight. This wasn't quite the lady's touch she had in mind, but she was ready for anything. Even some blood underneath her nails.

OOC,would someone please go ahead and roll for Charles. target = 24%. All those that failed roll 1d6 for damage, if charles fails roll for him as well.
.
As the ground gives way you can't help but shreak, Sonny was on the edge of the collapse and jumps away.
.
Warren, Jordie and Richard hear the sreams, then a second later hear the screams again from the woods. As you turn to look its tough to tell but some of the members seem to have disappeared and you're not sure why.
.
As you are trying to figure out what is going on with the group on the far side of the lot you hear a noise from the woods, much louder, you turn back to see a man in a robe. He is carrying a curved sword in one hand and a curvy dagger in the other.
He is charging right at Richard.
.
Richard Warren and Jordie,we are into a combat. If you are not familiar with combat in CoC, it goes in Dex order. However, a gun drawn and ready goes before Dex order. So if you want to take a shot, it is point blank range. After you shoot we will go in Dex order. So Warren, then Richard, then Jordie. Go ahead and roll if you plan to shoot, then just state your intentions, for the first round.

Jordie,Yes, you can do that, but you might want to write your plan as a conditional order, so: If Richard shoots and hits, I'll do this, If he misses I'll try throwing dirt in his face. I mean it isn't very lady like to walk to a guy bleeding with a gunshot wound and throw dirt in his face on top of it. ;) You will also be going last, due to your wonderful dex. So you can wait to see, but I'd rather get conditional orders up front so I can run through the combat round.

As you fire, you see the hooded figure tumble to the side and come back up on his feet.

.
You can now see another figure who is mostly behind a tree. He also appears to be hooded. You got a very good look at who you are shooting at. Its Tom the Albino.
.
Combat Order,We are now in DEX order. Tom would actually go next but cannot attack since he did a dodge, but will run up on you. Warren is up next. Warren what do you want to do.
.
For those that fell in, it is dusty and debris is flying everywhere, the pain from the 12 foot fall is intense. You hear a gunshot from a distance away.
.
Sonny, you see see someone run towards your companions on the other side of the lot and a gun shot goes off, what do you want to do?

Quickly realizing that Harrison got it worse than him, Michael can't help but darkly chuckle.

"What did I tell you? I knew you'd end up breaking something."

The ex cop's mirth disappears as he hears a gunshot. Silently, he debates trying to climb out of the hole and see what was going on, or trying to help the ailing writer. His conscience wins out. Slightly limping over to Harrison, he inspects the man's leg. His half remembered medical lessons seem to do his yelping patient some good.

Crushing down into the hole, Charles is overcome by shock for a few seconds. He vaguely hears the shooting, Harrison yelling, but he's completely disoriented. He realizes Michael asked him something, but can't really process the words.

This lasts a few seconds. The, reality comes crashing back. After all the ghost stories, the fall - and the gunshots heard in the distance - have made the whole surreal adventure real for the first time. Scrambling to his feet and biting back the impulse to remind the others he'd warned them about exploring at night, he looks around. "Will he be alright?" he asks Michael, indicating Harrison.

Adrenaline pumping, he looks around at his surroundings, trying to figure out where they've fallen into, if there's anything here, and how hard it will be to climb out.
All,Sorry for the delay in posting, I'm in East Asia so the time zone does not lend itself to dynamic posting action. Starting next week, I'll be on vacations in the Western Hemisphere, so that should help.
Ben,Have we fallen into a dirt pit, or some kind of man-made underground chamber, i.e., a basement or something? How big is it? How deep?

"Damn" I shout as the madman with the sword acrobaticaly dodges Righards shot, I look at the only thing I'm carrying that you could call a weapon - the flashlight.
As the robed figure rushes towards me I step forward and try to smash the flashlight into his face, aware that if I miss and he doesn't with the sword then it's probably goodnight ladies. Oh, how I wish I had a sharpened trench shovel...

Michael gets over to Harrison and sees that his leg isn't broken, but is definitely at a weird angle. It has dislocated at the knee. Having no real training he does what seems natural and pushes it. It strangely enough pops back in with another loud pop. Harrison screams out in pain again. The liquor helps, but this is out there.
.
Harrison,sorry, I know if you preview and then move on it doesn't post, I've done that before. Popping the knee back in is almost as bad as popping it out. Make another CON *5 roll or pass out.
.
As Charles looks around, the dust starts to settle some. You are in a big room, the opening was good size, but this is much larger. It appears to be a chapel of some sort. Then you let out a scream as you realize there is a piece of wood sticking out of your shoulder. The shock kept you from feeling it before but you do now. Doesn't hurt enough to cause you to pass out, but damn close.
.
As the Albino in the robe moves up towards you Warren he brings up his sword to block your flashlight swing.
.

.
Warren,use your flashlight like a small club, you need 25% to hit him, he can then make a parry roll to block if you were to hit.
.
As Michael finishes popping Harrison's knee back in he hears Charles scream and spins and can make out the 1 foot piece of board sticking out of the back of his shoulder. Then the pain starts to hit him as well as he has become a pin cushion of half a dozen smaller pieces all embedded in himself.

As Warren swings his flashlight at Tom the old man steps out from behind the tree holding a glass, it seems to have a liquid in it.
.

.
He says, "alta spirare" while pointing at Richard and the glass shatters into a thousand pieces, the old man screams out putting one hand to his head.
.
Richard screams out clutching his chest.
Richard,He has cast Breath of the Deep on you, which basically fills your lungs with water for a random number of rounds. While this is going on you will have the complete sensation of drowning (well because you are) and will be incapable of doing anything. Please role-play accordingly. You can however resist the spell by making a POW resistance check. His POW is much higher than yours, so you need to roll, really, really low. Good luck. If you fail, make a CON *5 check for this first round.

Warren,hold up, we have to do things in order. I know you're a bit excited. 1. Warren may not be writhing on the ground, he gets a resistance check, (what I'm waiting on, it could mean life or death so I'd rather he roll it.) 2. If he passes he gets to shoot again this round. 3. Then Jordie gets to do something. 4. Then we start a new round. 5. If Warren is up, he gets to shoot again (ready firearms go before other attacks) 6. Then we go to Dex order and Tom actually gets to go first as he has a Dex of 14, 1 higher than yours. 7. If he hits, you can decide if you want to parry with whats left of the flashlight, or dodge or take the blow. 8. If he misses its your turn. If you parried with the flashlight you can swing. If you dodged you cannot attack this round (just like he couldn't) And don't forget Sonny is not that far away that he might not be here to jump in a some point also. I know it seems like a lot, but everyone is moving at the same speed. The bad guy isn't going to just stand there because he was hit. I know you want to jump into it because you are half way across the globe, but things will slow down in combat as we wait for reactions. Feel free to give conditional orders and I can roll for you. So please just edit the above post and I'll ignore the roll out of sequence. You swing wildly but it has no chance to hit or something like that.

Harrison lets out a blood-curdling scream as his knee leg is popped back into position. He punches the ground, trying the force the pain away as stars explode before his eyes. His head spins and for the briefest of moments he feels gravity reverse before getting hold of his senses again.
He is breathing heavily, his chest heaving and he nods a thanks at Michael as he crashes back into the dirt, trying to come to his senses.

"I ain't a doctor," Michael points out. "But it's not broken, if that's what you're asking. Just need to apply some pressure to make it go back into place." He looks down at his patient. "This uh, might hurt a little." It seems to, but Harrison suffers through it.

Hearing Charles scream, the PI turns around to investigate, his eyes widening as he does so.

"That's probably not good."

Before he can try to do anything, the adrenaline fades and his own pain lashes out. He looks down and lets out something akin to a whimper when he realizes how many pieces of wood have implanted themselves in him.

"May need to rest for a few seconds here.." He pauses, trying to not make any sudden movements. Hopefully none of this stuff hit anything vital.

Richard's face turns from serious and intense to a shock of horror as he coughs a mouth full of water up.
The realization that a spell was cast upon him rips through his mind like a razor blade.
Richard,this will force a Sanity check 1d3/1d6. If you pass the sanity or even fail it but don't lose too many points you may still act during your Dex phase due to the crit success on the Con check.

Jordie and Warren cannot believe what they just saw.

OOC ALL,just a quick rules spot for newer players. If I ask you to make a sanity check I will follow it with something like this: 1d3/1d6. What this means is if you fail your sanity check you will lose 1d6 points, if you pass you will still lose the 1d3. So if your Sanity is 50 and you failed by rolling a 54, you lose d6 points from the 50 so say 5 and now your current sanity is 45. The next check you make you will need to roll 45 or lower.

Jordie,your chance to throw and knife skill are both the same 25%. The knife is small, but with the damage already done this round, you might have a slim chance to knock him out. The dirt while doing no real damage, has a better chance of blinding him than the knife to knock him out. But will have no lingering affects like a wound would. So same chance of short term better gain or long term lesser gain.

Grimly realizing the board in his shoulder has effectively put him out of commission for a while, Charles observes the chapel carefully, looking or anything of interest. He moves slowly towards Michael. "Seems we've got half of what used to be the ceiling here embedded in us," he says through clenched teeth, "but at least I don't think I've broken or twisted anything. You?"

"I'll live. Might have a few splinters in me, but I'll survive."

"Did you hear a gunshot out there? Hope it was one of ours. " Michael also regards the chapel. The climb back up top seemed steep, and he wasn't sure he wanted to chance it. He wasn't the best climber, and in his current state he might actually end up doing more damage to himself if he fell.

You see what use to be steps leading up are completely crumbled and no way to climb up. You will definitely need help climbing up, and with the board stuck through your right shoulder you realize your right hand is pretty useless right now.

"Looks like you're right. I think we're stuck here until someone sends a rope down." He hears the second gunshot. "Or shoots us." He feels for his own gun, ensuring it did not come away from him in the fall.

The investigator gladly accepts Charles help, and to his surprise the man he had previously regarded as a pencil pusher actually manages to help a little.

"Thanks. It feels nice not to have so many things sticking out of my flesh. Let me see if I can do anything for you." He examines the board stuck in Charles, trying to figure out a way to remove it without causing further harm.

As the dust clears Sonny hears the gunshot, he looks down into the hole and sees that everyone is alive, if not undamaged "Shit man! Sounds like the others are in trouble, I'm gonna see if I can help. Fix yerselves up, I'll be back with a rope or someting! Here Harry your torch" he tosses Harrisons's torch down to him.

With that Sonny dashes towards to the sound of gunfire and the others' flashlights, scanning the ground for anything that might be a useful weapon, a length of two by two, an old length of pipe, anything!
Spot hidden,[60]: 64 fails http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4251324/
Seeing nothing as he sprints across the ground, Sonny kills his torch when he is about 15 feet away from the melee, relying on the flashlights of his associates to light the last few feet.

He quickly takes in the scenario and runs into the fray to try and tackle the albino from behind, hoping to hit him like a defensive linebacker smashing a pretty boy quarterback!

Running across the overgrown collapsed building is a lot tougher than any football field Sonny ran across. While he didn't spot anything that looked like a weapon, there are several large rocks, or he could go for the football tackle.

Unfortunately it will be next round before you can get there.
.
Sonny,Your dex is 13 so you and Warren will be going at the same time after Tom goes next round. Its only been a few seconds really to do the attack so far, while you were a couple hundred yards away. Trying to run over tough terrain, and look for a weapon at the same time. And doing a sneak? with a flashlight until you were 15 feet away. Maybe too much going on there. But I'll give my guys a spot hidden next round to see if they see you or not. If they don't I'll give you a bonus. And no worries about being afk for a bit, I knew it would take you a couple rounds to get here so wasn't worried. If you had a gun you could shoot this round, but otherwise you will have to wait.

Tom snarls at you as he spits blood from his mouth.

Then you hear from the old man behind him, 'Occupo Prehendo Habitum Cthulhu Telum'.
The ground shakes for a minute, the old man screams, his eyes turn white, and tentacles burst from his arms and reach and grab both Jordie and Warren.

The tentacles grasp you around the arms and torso, and lift you from the ground.
.
Warren and Jordie,I need a couple rolls from you, this is really out there, the whole water thing was one thing but this??? Sanity check 1/1d6, Once you get past the OMG factor you get to resist the tentacles grasping you. As it turns out they are not physical, but mental. You must make a POW resistance check vs the casters POW. His POW is 17. So Warren you must roll 15% or less. Jordie yours is 11, so you must roll 20% or less. If you succeed you have broken free of the tentacles and may act normally. If you fail You will be unable to take any actions while he holds you, also making it easier for someone to hit you, ie. Tom.

Sonny,You easily find a brick shaped rock and grab it as you run forward, then you see tentacles grow out and grab your friends. Sanity check time, 1d3/1d6

"Why, what you find?"

Michael walks over to Harrison. Another sarcastic remark is on his lips when he catches sight of what was left of the hand. Without another word, he reaches for another cigarette.

Richard is still coughing up water, falling to his hands and knees. Breathing is impossible and a blue tint covers his face.
Richard,make a Conx3 check. Target = 45%, Crit target to act is a 9.
As Sonny runs up, Tom catches him out of the corner of his eye. He spins to face Sonny who is charging in. He moves to protect the old man and takes a swing at Sonny.

With a quick swing of the sword, he trips over a loose stone falling and breaking his sword. He is now laying on the ground in front of you.
Sonny,you are up.

"You could call the shackled skeletal remains of a hand interesting, I suppose. Personally I find it more unsettling. "

He speaks again, mostly to himself. "God, what were they doing here?" Michael casts a nervous glance up at the ceiling. For all he knew, the others were dead. Would the three of them be left here to die over the days to come? Or would someone come to kill them? Maybe they'd have done to them whatever had happened to the poor fellow whose hand now lay shackled to the desk.

Almost involuntarily, he withdraws his gun, turning to Harrison and Charles.

"Yell if you see anything. Given the nature of our present situation, I'm more keen on shooting first and worrying about the consequences later."

As Charles brushes the debris off the desk you hear a clank noise as if metal on metal. You carefully lift some of the debris off to see a chain under the debris. Praying not to see a skeletal hand on the other end you remove a bit more debris to find an old book.

Image

The hard bound book is covered in a strange leather and the clasps are locked.

Michael and Harrison can see there is a bit more to the hand, perhaps an arm bone as well.

"A skeletal...? Oh, Lord. Keep that gun ready!" Charles says to Michael. "We're sitting ducks down here!"

"Hey," he cries, after a minute. "There's some sort of fancy book here. I'm guessing it's not the King James Bible." Looking around at the darkened area, he realizes that it is too dark to read, and besides, gunfire has a way of hampering one's concentration. He takes the book and walks over to the others. "Not quite as nerve-wracking as your skeleton, but creepy all the same."

Sonny charges at the old man. You hear him yell out, "Get up and protect me you imbicile. What the hell do I pay you for?"
.
Tom quickly springs to his feet, but is behind you, you have a clear shot at the old man.
.
Sonny,This would be for a grapple, so you have 25%, having not had any real hand to hand fighting skills you are going by instinct alone.
Meanwhile...

down in the pit Charles picks up the book and realizes its chained to the desk.
.
Harrison and Michael start clearing away the rubble on the table. It becomes obvious real quick there is a full skeleton chained in a spread eagle on the table. The ribs in the center of the chest have been broken inwards. There is still some skin left on and parts of it look like it has been chewed on. Finally, it is the size of a child, maybe 10 or so.
Harrison - Charles - Michael,Make a Sanity 0/d2 check.
Under the body, are small chanels cut into the table, which you can tell is at a slight tilt. It appears to come together to one main chanel in the middle of the table that runs down towards the foot end. The floor on the end of the table is stained black.

The horror of the situation, the shock from the loss of blood and the gritty reality of the chained skeleton send a momentous chill down Charles' spine. As a wave of revulsion floods over him, he hurls the book to the ground and looks at it, fearfully.

Harrison moves to the other alter. As you clear the rubble from it, this one is much more ornate. There are no chains on this one and there is a step stone on one side.

While worn there are strange symbols carved onto this alter. While the other was a rough stone, this one by contrast is a black marble very ornate and looks odd with the two being side by side.

Jordie,feel free to make a spot hidden. You do see they are not running, but seem to be walking slowly trying to stay out of the combat.
.
Harrison - Charles - Michael,the 3 of you watch in horror. Your minds are looking on but its like you are watching a rally bad movie. The chanting sounds nonsensical, but the blood is real enough. You can estimate that 1 more round the blood will have filled up the entire tables carvings. Its about 2/3rds done now. The hazy smoke that was floating above the table has now moved down to the table and appears to be forming into some horrid shape. OOC - when we start a new combat round above the 3 of you will need to make another round of resistance checks. This time you are getting a bit of a grip on it. So you get +5%, So Harrison and Charles get 20%, but Michael you are actually just now up to 5%. Good news, this will be the last round you have to make it.

Richard yells at Tom, his cloak now completely disheveled, blood still running down his face, out of his mouth and from the 2 bullet wounds and the knife he is holding. His eyes mark a dark contrast as they are completely white. You hear himself mumbling under his breath. Its hard to make out.
Then he talks, "You may have defeated me in life, but you will not defeat me in death."
Sonny and Richard,Richard why don't you go ahead and roll for Sonny, I'm sure he was planning on smashing him with the brick. He has a 50% chance.

Tom raises the dagger to his own throat but before he do anything else Sonny hurls the brick at Tom and it smashes into his face with a crunching noise. The Albino falls to the ground like a sack of potatoes his eyes turning back to their normal color.

You hear a familiar voice from over at the body of the old man. Its Phil, "It's him, it's really him. How do you like that you old bastard." You see Phil kick the old man, and the body groans in pain. "Oh you're still alive, What the fuck did you do with her you son of a bitch? Where is she?"

Warren and Jordie,You each get back a point of strength. Warren you wake up but are not strong enough to pull yourself up. Jordie you are now strong enough to walk with a bit of assistance.

"Thanks for coming Sonny, we clearly needed the help" Richard says heatfeltly to Sonny

Richard checks to see if the Reverend or Tom are still alive and then ties them up with whatever is available (rope from satchel, belt whatever I have handy. Richard dosent trust these two dead or alive.

Richard is already thinking about how to get the camera from Joe, there is no way that picture is going to be published in the paper, Richard dosent need that type of publicity.

It takes all Jordie's strength to get over to the others, she checks both bodies and as far as she can tell there is no pulse on either of them. You have some rope in your satchels, so are able to tie up the bodies well.

There is a broken sword and a fighting knife on them. But that is all.

Phil is now sitting on the ground tears streaming down his face. "It was ten years ago, back when all the other kids were disappearing. My baby sister disappeared as well. Her body was never found, but I know this Bastard took her. Then when he escaped from prison, I started to dig into it. I had to have a story to cover my research, but Sam killed it. Now he's gone. Finally, Shiela can rest."

Warren,you think this might be the first time you've ever seen [b]Phil [/b]show his honest side.

Joe goes over to take a picture of the 2 bodies side by side. "Man you guys are going to be heroes." Then Phil says, "No Joe, this is 1 story that we won't run. I got what I came for."

About that time you hear an unearthly shriek come from across the lot. It runs a chill up and down your spines.

Harrison suffer 1d6 sanity points for being the main caster. Charles and Michael each suffer 1d3 sanity points. . IC: In front of you on the table is a ragged corpse with wings similar to a crow. But the size of a man. It's claws have black talons where his fingers should be and a beaked face. It sits up squatting on the table and looks at each of you like it is expecting something. . OOC: Each of you need to make a Sanity 1/1d6 check (make this on your new lower stat from the spell casting) . IC: The creature then looks up to the sky, like it is searching for something, spreads its wings, and screams out a horrid sound. You raise your hands to your ears to try and block out the noise. . OOC: If you do not suffer 5-6 sanity points on either roll, you may take an action. Michael gets first action Then Harrison Then Charles But right now just assume they are all at the same time.

Something in Michael's mind snaps at the sight of the unholy abomination. Maybe it's his years as a cop, or maybe he's just lucky, but either way he is able to keep himself from screaming.

Almost on instinct, he raises his gun at the terrible thing and fires. Anything to stop the horrible screaming.

Sonny and Richard take off across the rocky terrain towards the hole in the ground a couple hundred yards away. Even from this distance you can hear screaming and yelling. You won't get there till the end of next round.
.
Warren and Jordie are both stuck behind and unable to run. Warren cannot even stand on his own. Joe comes up and helps him up.
.
Meanwhile, down in the chapel, Charles and Harrison are screaming and yelling but not being very helpful to Michael at all. Who has now pissed off this nightmare standing on the alter. It turns towards him and swoops in. You can tell your bullet seemed very affective on this creature from your first shot.
.
Your gun is up and ready to shoot. You can get off one shot before it is on you. It's talons look razor sharp. You know its do or die right here.
.
Michael,You get to shoot now if you want to since your gun is ready and pointing at the target. Then we will have to go by Dex order, 13 is pretty good, I'll have to go home and check my notes on the creature to see if you'll get 1 shot or 2. BTW, I don't think you rolled a large enough die for a .38 automatic damage, did you roll a d6 and get 6 or roll a d10 and got 6. for some reason I'm thinking it should be a d10. I'll have to wait till I get home to check the rulebook.
.
Charles,There is a roll to prevent you from getting a permanent insanity, but as I've never had this come up yet I want to go home and review the rules before I go forward with that. Right now the screaming in terror is the right move. Basically you are useless till this is over.

The beast slumps down on top of you. Then you feel a rock hit. You look down and its 2nd claw has already started to tear your shirt. Its twitching but somehow you know its dead. Whatever the hell it is, you crawl out from under it.

Michael,FYI, you never have 100%. 95% is Max. and I accidentally rolled both its attacks at the same time.: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4257792/]Claw attacks 35% (1d100=66, 1d100=22)[/url] If you did miss, you were dead.

Sonny and Richard hear a 3rd gunshot.

Charles is curled up against one wall speaking incoherently.

The creature lay on the ground. Now that you see it clearly it is huge at least 7 foot tall with muscles on its arms bigger than any creature you have ever seen. Something yellow is oozing out of it onto the floor. Michael realizes he is half covered in this yellow ooze.
.
As Sonny and Richard look down in the pit you can see what appears to have been a chapel. There are 2 alter type tables side by side only a couple feet between them. One appears to be black marble with intricate designs on it. The other is made of very rough stone and has the skeleton of a small person chained spread eagle on the table. The center of its chest is crushed inwards.
The black marble table is very clean compared to how dirty everything else in the room is.
There is a desk half covered in debris and you see a very large book laying on the ground.
The black marbles design draws your eyes back to it.

Pushing the thing off him, Michael shakingly comes to his feet. He looks down at the monster's corpse and spits.

"Ha. Ha Ha. Burn in hell, demonspawn!" He continues to laugh, overconfidence and adrenaline delaying the full impact of the horror, at least for now. He was alive!

Looking up at Sonny and Richard, he gives a mock salute,a manic gleam in his eyes.

"A little late gentlemen, but nice to see you both. Throw down a rope, would ya?"

Registering he is pretty well covered with the beast's foul ooze, Michael strips off his shirt and tries to wipe as much of it off him as possible.

Charlie,You tried to convince yourself it was just some guy with bad surgery, but you see it for what it really is/was. A creature from another world. Another dimension. That your chanting and your blood brought it here. You will be helpless until you get some good drugs at a hospital and a bad night sleep. After that you can act normally but you have picked up a phobia of flying creatures. So anytime I say you see a shadow of something flying above you, you should assume it is one of these creatures coming to get revenge for summoning one of them to just kill it. You might have the same reaction to a loud screeching noise. Just role-play appropriately.

"I have no damn idea." Michael responds to Richard's question. "But it was a good thing you stopped Sonny from chanting. As soon as I laid eyes on that alter, I was drawn to it. I think the others were as well. We all went up to it and started chanting. I placed my fingers in those indentations and cut myself up pretty badly, and by the looks of thing Charles did as well. I saw what was happening, but had no control over myself.

"Once we finished the chant, that thing was in front of us." Michael points out what was left of the demon's corpse. "I don't know what it is or what it wanted, but I do know that it was a devil of some sort. So rather than let it take me back to whatever hell it came from, I shot it. Shot it until it was dead." He giggles to himself. "Thought I'd need holy water, but a few bullets did the trick."

He regards the alter once again, suspicion in his eyes. "My guess is this thing is bewitched somehow. Everyone of us that has come into contact with it were possessed. Except you, apparently. It must be connected to hell or thereabouts. We should destroy it somehow. Covering it up only works until the next poor fool finds themselves down here. We can't let anymore of those demons come through."

Hearing Charles's screams, Michael regards his panicked companion. "Maybe one of you should hit him over the head. That might calm him down." He seems oblivious to how insensitive he is being.

"Maybe you should hit yourself over the head, Michael. But wait at least till we've reached a doctor or a hospital."

Harrison's nerves are frayed too, he pulls himself up on his shovel and regards the others.

"I suggest we take that chained-up book over there, get out of here, get fixed up and try to get some fucking sleep. How's that for a plan?"

OOC POST: Status Report
.
Right now all of you are in the chapel except for Warren (who is still extremely weak) and has no flashlight with Joe the photographer.(who does have a flashlight). They are at the edge of the pit.
.
And Jordie who is currently with Phil. I am not sure what Jordie is doing. She is strong enough to cross the grounds by herself. Or she can stay with Phil?
.
Charlie is drinking from his flask and feeling a little better. Everyone looks very beat up and all of you have seen things you would have never thought possible just a few hours earlier.
.
Everyone gain +5 to your Cthulhu Mythos skill.
.
Richard, your flashlight is also broken. You have managed to cover up both the skeletal remains and the black alter.
(still waiting on Sanity checks from Richard and Sonny.)
.
Getting out of the hole could be a bit tricky, there are some steps but after the 2nd one they have crumbled down. Probably a rope and someone pulling you up is probably the best bet.
.
Phil is still kneeling next to the 2 bodies. He has picked up the knife Tom was using. And said he would stand guard to make sure they didn't "wake up".
.
Harrison's suggestion of getting to a hospital sounds like a great idea to everyone.

Any questions?

Stowing the key away from the Reverend, Jordie shifts her attention away towards Tom Lawrence's body and begins searching it. Looking over at Phil, "You okay big guy?" As Jordie tries to show sincere concern towards Phil.

"Warren give Joe your rope, Joe throw one end of the rope down here and lets start getting the wounded up there"
Richard turns to the others and looks them over "OK who is the most hurt and needs the most help? they should probably go first, Sonny you or I should go up before Charles to make sure he dosent take off running on us when he gets up there. We have whats left of Tom and The Reverend from the Chapel up there on the ground where we were at I believe Jordie and Phil are over there making sure they don't wake up which I am pretty sure is never going to happen again. Any ideas on how to unchain the book?"

The opening is high enough the edges unstable enough that you can assume the only way out would be to use a rope. And those that have been injured need to be pulled up.
.
Climbing,if you suffered less than 1/4 of your hit points, you may climb the rope. Add (Str + Dex) * 5 / 2. This is your target to climb the rope.
.
Warren is still too weak to pull anyone up, and Joe is a little guy. They will need Jordie's help to pull anyone up. Or have someone climb the rope to help them pull people up.

"I'll probably need help going up. I took a nasty fall, and have some pretty bad cuts here. A hospital trip is probably in my future. Still, probably best you take Charles up first.

Harrison helps to get Charles to the rope so he can be evacuated. He's limping severely and it's obvious he won't be able to climb out on his own.

I put the reverend down with my gun after he threw a bunch of his magic at us, I tagged Tom with my gun as well but he finally took his own life with his knife. Last I saw the sword & knife they were still over there. Just as Tom slit his own throat we started hearing the big ruces and gunshot over here so Sonny and I came charging over here to see what was going on. Anyone know anything about this book or that altar down there I don't rember hearing about these things when we were doing our research?"

I replace the cap and geture in a rough direction to where we were, "We need to find that knife and see if it was the one from the house, the Peanut or whatever it's called. It also might be a good idea to have a look and see what our friend Tom was up to before we disturbed him, because he sure wasn't dressed for no church meeting."

"Magic?" Michael asks. "Well then, I guess it's safe to say we're all believers in this hocus pocus now. Nice work in taking them down. If the reverend was 'throwing magic around', maybe he was behind whatever is going on in that house. Our problem could already be solved." Somehow Michael doubted it. Especially since the alter had managed to bewitch them after the reverend and Tom were already dead. There seemed to be more to this than a sinister holy man.

He rubs his back. "We really should figure out a cover story if we're all heading to the hospital. Not all our wounds can be explained by a nasty fall."

Harrison lights up another fag and nods in agreement with Michael.

"Not only that, there's two dead men here as well. Unless you suggest they go sleep with the fishes, the cops will find those pretty damn soon too."

He takes a few drags and shakes his head.

"I don't know what the hell is going on here, but we found the skeleton of a kid chained to an altar, a booked chained to another altar and then we all of a sudden decided to go chanting some weird incantation around another altar, while spilling our blood in it. I thought this was going to be an easy job..."

Richard speaks up "I say we hide the bodies down near the altars that way if the cops find them they think maybe one was a suicide or something, I think the kid on the altar may be Phil's little sister who he says was kidnapped by the Reverend and why he was trying to keep this story alive so be respectful how you speak about the skeleton around Phil, I am assuming he followed us when with left him at the paper, he and Joe came running out of the woods right after I shot Tom and the Reverend. I say the Reverend was throwing magic around because he mumbled something at me and through something towards me then my lungs instantly filled with water and I was drowning, don't know how else to explain it but I was puking up water for quite a bit over there. I still believe that there is something or someone else pulling the strings here, I mean the whole court case getting washed under in the court system, the papers not reporting a whole lot on the original event, the Reverend escaping from prison, I mean come on there is someone with much more power behind this somewhere I am just not sure where yet.
Ben,[b]Joe[/b] isn't walking out of here with that roll of film he took the pictures with, I don't need the hassle of the picture he took of me being used as blackmail of me or worse yet ending up in the paper or police department's hands, I believe he is still here with us and Phil is away from us so since we have the numbers now and this is true I will walk over to Joe and ask him [color=#0000FF]"[b]Joe[/b] let me see your camera for a second I want to try something"[/color] and lay the book down on the ground like I am going to take a picture of it or do something special with the camera to test the book for something, when he hands me the camera I will turn back to the book and take the film out of the camera exposing it and ruining it then hand him camera back and say [color=#0000FF]"Thanks I am glad we got to do this the easy way."[/color] otherwise I will pull my gun on him and demand the camera, remove the film and give him the camera back.

Richard, you can't see much because your foot stepped on a loose rock that slid out from under you and fell face first into the rubble. It hurt but not enough to do any real damage. But you twisted your ankle and it feels stuck.

Joe is stammering, "We just got here. Phil didn't want to come in the front because you'd see us. So we snuck in through the loose fence pieces in the back corner. We had just arrived when we heard the gunfire, so we ran to see if we could help out."

Richard removes some of the rubble around his foot and frees it from the debris. It hurts to put weight on it, but you continue on across the rubble, a bit slower and trying to be more careful.

After a few minutes you finally get close enough for the light from the fire to help you see where you are stepping. It does appear that Phil burned the bodies. And is now no where to be seen.

Watching the pride leave the body, Jordie mutters under her breath, "Oh boy... What's his deal?" Running to Charles's side, she throws her arm over his shoulder to help guide Charles. With her flashlight in her free hand, Jordie barks out, "C'mon! Let's get out of here!" As Jordie leads the way out of the overgrown lot.

Ben,just placing this as hidden text in case you don't want the others to know whats going on. Now I am pretty sure that Phil is the mastermind here, what was burning when I came by the fire, if possible I try to grab something to use at light (something to make a torch out of) I also try to figure out which of the bodies that Phil was dragging off into the woods before I go in after him.

You see Richard dig around in the fire a bit then come up with a torch. He then appears to be heading towards the woods.
Richard,you follow the tracks for a few minutes then the drag marks stop, then its just foot prints. When you get to the woods, the tracks become fainter. Make another tracking roll to keep going.

Ben,track chance = 45% roll = 92% so a failure [url]http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4266892/[/url]. Richard looks at the drag marks to see if they just end or if they kind of fade away slowly, are the footprints deeper after the drag marks go away like maybe Phil picked up the Reverends body? Richard looks to see if this was a path that Phil was following or just underbrush in the woods going in no general direction. Richard tries to remember how big the woods would be right here and where they might lead to

Richard,As you try and go straight, you eventually run into a fence. It has wide boards and some of them look rotted and loose. You can lift them easy enough. As you climb through the opening you see blood on the edges of the wood. . As you get through you see Phil's car speeding away.

Joe eyes the pocket where the gun is. "Listen, I've only worked at the paper for 6 months. That's when I met Phil. We cover stories together, he asks the questions I take the photo's, I've never seen anything like this shit tonight. Earlier today he comes to me and says we need to do a stakeout. It was the first time I've ever done one of those, so we get in the car and go to the museum. Nothing happens for a long time then he tells me,that's him. It was Warren and we follow him to the back. We saw a bunch of you guys going down into the basement there. He wanted to go sneak around, we went and took some pictures but I wouldn't go in. Then we heard you guys talking so we beat it back to the car. When we saw Warren get in the car and you guys heading across the street, he told me to follow you, take what notes I could, get a pic and take a cab back to the paper. So I hopped out and Phil followed Warren."
He stops to see if you are buying the story or not. He keeps going, "After you guys left the paper, I guess Phil and Warren hate each other, I mean I've worked with Warren before also, I'm just the photographer. Anyways, Phil said you would cut us out so we followed you. When you went in the alley for the Chapel he said he knew another way. We went around the block and came in through some loose boards in the fence, we were barely there when we hear the gunshots, so we ran up to where you were. Honest mister, that's the whole story."

The siren was a crescendo of the ominous threat approaching. The boy scouts of Boston won't be happy to see the community garden ablaze in the air, as if the fire was an exclamation mark of everything that happened on that lot. Quite frankly, it forecast something awful as Jordie went into deep thought about the funhouse around the corner.

It felt like the city was howling after Jordie, and she wasn't in the mood in making new friends. She slid the key into ignition and turned the gear into drive, ready to escape into the closing act of the show.

Jordie,we don't have our stories straight so I will be taking your lead at the hospital on trying to explain all of these injuries
Richard continues to talk to Joe as he follows the car Jordie is driving (ok at this point I guess I am driving) "Ok here is the deal Joe we can try to help keep you out of trouble if you want but I currently believe that Phil is the mastermind behind everything here, he took the reverends body and replaced it in the Fire which is where he left Toms body. I believe that Joe helped the Reverend escape from the prison and has been helping ever since. Now you can choose to help us try to make things right and let us know everything that you know about Phil or you can choose to be an acomplise of Phils when the straight scope comes out, and trust me we will make sure it does, the choice is yours but I would be very carefull about who you talk to about all of this. So relax and try to think of anything else you may know about Phil and or his interaction on this case and or with the Chapel site. You have nothing to fear from me going forward but you need to decide which side you want to be on in this."

Was there anything in the car you guys were in when you came to the lot? Did you actually know Phil's sister? How long ago was she kidnaped? Had he ever mentioned that to you before or do you think he was just saying that to cover his tracks with us when he got there. I mean how did he find out about us to start with? If he was so interested in all this why did he never publish any of the stories he has been working on for all this time? What else would he want the Reverends body for why didnt he just leave it in the fire with Tom's body and why did he throw a dummy in the fire to make us 'think' the Reverend had been burned to death?"

"At this point yes I do believe he is involved Joe, I mean you saw some of what was going on back there, I mean what reason would he have for taking the reverend out of there and placing a dummy next to Tom and then lighting them on fire? How does a Reverend escape from a prison that hardened criminals can't get out of, unless he had help from someone on the outside, so take a minute and ask yourself what do you REALLY know about Phil and what he has been up to with this case. Try to think of anything that he may have said in passing or you may have over heard him speaking about by accident that seemed off or different at the time, it may help us to figure out what is going on and where he may have taken the Reverend to."
