IC: Ch 7a: Into the House +1

[Papa Gateau]

Sonny stops and turns back to Michael Ok man! We seen enough weird shit that I believe you. Let's get back to the dining room and grab a couple of chairs we can use as shields, we better hurry, those boys gonna need our help!

[Silver Priest]

Not needing to be told twice, Michael moves as quickly as he can back up to the stairs and towards the dining room. However, he slows down briefly to explain the situation to Richard.

"Flying knife downstairs. It's already stabbed Warren and might be going after Charles. We need to find something for protection if we're going to be any help at all for them."

[DrVendetta]

Richard goes and retrieves a the best item he can find in the kitchen to use as a shield, trash can lid, large metal serving tray, large pot lid, etc then returns to the top of the stairs

[BenTheRat]

Michael and Sunny grab some chairs and Richard finds a large pot lid that will work as a small shield and head back to the top of the stairs.
.

OOC:   we really need to let Charles have a couple actions before we continue here.

Sanity Check,Roll=21 - passed http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4333410/

Charles lets out a yell as the knife stabs Warren, then flies up the stairs as fast as his legs will carry him.

OOC,Just to speed things along, in case I need to make a roll for going up the stairs: 20 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4333411/

[BenTheRat]

Charles also makes it up the stairs fine. The others all ran to get defensive items.
.

OOC:   Charles, what do you want to do here.

.
As the last of you exit back into the hall, the door slams shut behind you.
.

Warren,Since your brave friends chose to leave you unattended with a gaping chest wound, you will get to bleed out a point.

[Occigon]

Charles looks to see if there is a heavy curtain, blanket or tablecloth somewhere that he can grab.

[BenTheRat]

The curtains look pretty useless but the table cloth looks pretty sturdy. You grab with with the quick yank and pull spill soup on the floor.
.
The 4 of you make it back to the top of the stairs about the same time. The door is shut.

[BenTheRat]

Also about this time Jordie walks through the front door.
.

Jordie,you can see the house is in on piece, but you see 4 of your fellow investigators in front of the basement door holding 2 chairs, a pot lid and the dining room table cloth. Warren is the only one you don't see. Charles and Michael are obviously injured as you see blood on them. and one has a piece of wood still sticking out of his leg.

[DetectiveSocks]

Seeing all the bloodied men holding comical props in their hands, Jordie looks in shock, "Where's Warren? What happened?" As Jordie watches the men prepare for a housewarming party.

[Occigon]

Panting, Charles replies: "He's down there... Knife attacked us... We have to go save him!"

Moving over to the door, he tries to
open it again.

[BenTheRat]

The door opens rather easily. A cold wind blows over you from down below. The stench of death is carried in the cold air.
.

OOC:   The 4 of you at the top of the steps can make a listen check if you wish.

[Papa Gateau]

Listen,[25] 57 - fail http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4334898/

Ok guys, let's get this done Sonny heads back down the stairs, holding the chair in front him.

[Silver Priest]

Michael follows as carefully as he can behind Sonny, chair held out like a shield.

[DrVendetta]

Richard follows the others down watching his steps closely and balancing himself on the wall in case the stairs start to give out.

Listen check,[dice]0[/dice]

[BenTheRat]

As the 4 of you go down the stairs, supporting each other you make it to the bottom with no problems.
.
You see Warren laying on the ground a large wound in the middle of his chest with blood pouring out.
.
No sign of the knife anywhere.
.
There is also a small room with a door as part of the basement. The walls are all made of wood. The room you are in is dark except for your flashlights. There are small widows set into the side walls, but these have been boarded up.
The room is about 50 wide (same width as the house) and about 40' long. Stairs are on the far East wall (the back end of the house). In the North East corner a small room has been built that is about 20x20. the door to this room is closed.
.
There is a lot of rubbish in this room, old trash as well as wood, nails, and an assortment of other junk.

[DetectiveSocks]

Pulling out the fighting knife Jordie recovered from Mr.Lawrence's body, Jordie follows from behind.

[DetectiveSocks]

Jordie runs to Warren's side and tries her best to help Warren, but there's too much blood gushing out and Jordie's hands are covered in blood. "C'mon everybody! We gotta help him and blow this joint!"

[Silver Priest]

Michael makes his way over to Warren and attempts to quell the bleeding, to no avail.

"Damn it, It's not stopping!"
