IC: Ch 7: Into the House

[Silver Priest]

"Yeah, and people aren't supposed to fall into a trance and wind up summoning a demon, but some of us did. So if that can happen, you'll forgive me Warren if I place this structure under some suspicion."

Heading over to door with the others, Michael is assaulted by the sudden tantrum of the vengeful ghost.At Warren's yell, he tries to remain rational, or at least what he thinks to be rational. "I'm sure it's nothing. It's trying to distract us again, like with those noises it made before," he assures the others through his coughs, but his voice notably shakes as he does so.

Warren Kaine
"It's not the upstairs it's outside, the dining room wall!!"
As I shout I run for the back door, in hope that I can get outside and see what's going on.

"Somebody's playing games with us, and I'm starting to get sick of it. Somebody head out front and make sure no one comes that way"

[BenTheRat]

Warren,which back door are you going for? You don't see one in the dining room, and when you run into the kitchen there is no door there either.

[Priest]

Warren Kaine
I stand in the kitchen looking confusedly around,

Warren thinking:   I'm sure that when Sonny and Harrison came here before they said there was a door in the kichen to the outside.

"Hey Sonny, where the hell has the back door gone?"

Ben,The drawing you supplied to them on the first visit seemed to show a door in the outside wall of the kitchen, so I assumed that was to the back.

[Papa Gateau]

I don't remember no back door man - just a window from the kitchen" Sonny calls back to Warren

"Hey everybody - get back with Warren - I gotta an idea!"

Sonny runs back to the kitchen and opens the window - trying to locate the fire outside.

[Priest]

Warren Kaine

"Watch yourself Sonny, if this picture is to be believed the creature its showing me can climb walls"

I watch as Sonny heads for the window. "Okay someone else watch the damned picture, if there is something nasty outside lets see how it deals with a .45 bullet or two"

I flick the safety off of the automatic and chamber a round.

[BenTheRat]

As Sonny runs to the window in the kitchen and tries to open it, it won't budge. Smoke begins to filter into the room and the wall seems extremely hot.

[DrVendetta]

Richard draws a calming breath in with all the comosion going on around him. He then walks to the door with the 3 deadbolts on it and unlocks the 3 deadbolts.

[Priest]

Warren Kaine
"Sonny get out the way!"
I aim at the window and fire several shots at the frame.

Pistol,30% 1d100 → [15] = (15) http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4316762/ to hit the window frame.

[BenTheRat]

Warren fires his pistol into the window frame, and hits. It doesn't seem to have much affect except to put a bullet into the wood frame. You see the wall go up in flames, as well as the interior wall between the kitchen and dining room.
.
Richard hits the locks and unlocks the 3 deadbolts.
.
The smoke is quickly filling up the house.

[Papa Gateau]

Sonny thinking:   Man, that window opened and closed easy enough the other night!

Sonny dashes back to the dining room and grabs a chair "Ok Warren I'll smash the window - you get ready to plug whoever's out there"

[BenTheRat]

The entryway is engulfed in flames but you run into the dinning room. You grab a chair and run back into the kitchen. Flaming debris is starting to fall around you. You rear back and smash the chair into the window and watch as the chair shatters in your hand. The window unharmed.
.

OOC:   All need to make a Con *5 check to keep from being overcome with coughing. So if your con is 9, then a 45% or less.

[Silver Priest]

As it becomes harder to breath, Michael reconsiders his earlier protestations of this all being an illusion. Fighting off an increasing level of panic, he regards the door and Richard.

"Maybe we can both force it open." he suggests, a fit of coughing immediately following. Every bit of common sense is telling him to flee, but Michael struggles to remain clam. The house would not burn itself down. This was another cheap parlor trick, nothing more.

con roll,[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4317121/]con * 5 (55%) (1d100=18)[/url]

[Occigon]

CON Roll,Con x 5 = 35 Roll = 57 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4317179/

Overtaken by a fit of coughing, Charles gets down on his hands and knees to avoid the smoke and begins crawling towards the door the Richard is opening.

[DrVendetta]

Richard Con Roll,Roll = 13 so a success [url]http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4317304/[/url]

Richard opens the basement door but then starts to retreat to the front door because of the smoke

[BenTheRat]

You get the deadbolts undone but the door handle is still locked and needs a key. Or you can make a strength *3 roll to bust it in. The fire is spreading and is in the hall now.

[Silver Priest]

Quickly forgetting his prior objections to damaging the house, Michael throws himself against the door. He doubts it has much of an effect however.

Spoiler:

Strength * 3(36%) (1d100=93)

[Papa Gateau]

Sonny expecting the window to smash open draws in a lung full of what he expected to be fresh air.

As his lungs fill with smoke he doubles over - coughing and retching, tears stream from his eyes.

"Shit! Sonny we need to....Cough, cough,cough!!"

Con *5,60 1d100 → [61] = (61) http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4317471/ missed by 1 blast.

[BenTheRat]

Michael and Richard look around. Their 3 friends are coughing in fits from the thick smoke. The house is like an inferno now. The door with the deadbolts didn't budge at all when Michael gave it a kick.
.
The other three of you found some slight relief by going down to the ground but not much. The smoke is already overwhelming you and you are starting to black out.
.

Warren and Charles and Sonny,you may attempt one action before blacking out.

.

Michael and Richard,What do you want to do? You can kick at the door together, if you decide to you can combine your strength (str + str) *3. Which should be a 72 if my math is correct. So both must post you are doing it and either can roll. Or you can do something else like getting your friends to the front door. Or some other ingenious plan. Either way at the end of your action you must make a con *4 roll.
