IC: Ch 7a: Into the House +1

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.

The blood flow seems to lesson a lot and the color in Warrens face becomes pale.
.
Warren,you will lose another point putting you at 0. You are not technically dead yet, but very close.

Richard picks a flashlight and uses it to look into the room.

"C'mon Charles, we're in over our heads, we need to get him outta here!" As Jordie attempts to carry Warren.
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.

Sonny moves over and helps Jordie with Warren - "Let's get him to the car, you need to get him to a hospital fast!"
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

"Don't do anything foolish! You better get everybody out of there while you still can!" The engine roared and Jordie left off on the road without hesitation. Jordie's stained hands felt useless gripping the wheel, she couldn't do anything to treat Warren right. Her best wasn't enough. Jordie looks to the backseat to see Warren, his hourglass was running thin.

Jordie,are you planning to just drop him off at the hospital and run back or stay with Warren?
.
Richard,you spot the dagger across the room under a wood plank. Fresh blood on it.
.
Richard, Michael and Charles see Jordie and Sonny haul Warren's lifeless body up the stairs. What do you guys do?

Jordie,you need to go [url=http://www.callofcthulhu.org.uk/pbp/viewtopic.php?f=283&t=4739]here.[/url]
.
Richard,as you approach the dagger it is just laying there. With lid in one hand and flashlight in the other, tell me your next move.
.
Michael - Charlie,you see Richard raise his pot lid defensively and start to move across the room.
.
FYI, it is now about 8:30 pm.

Michael is beginning to wish he had never started down this journey into madness. Warren was dead, or nearly so, and part of that was due to his own cowardliness. But how was he supposed to fight an enemy that could command flying knives and moving staircases? He was out of his league, and even the manic invincibility he felt in killing the flying demon was beginning to fade.

Seeing Richard moving across the room, Michael prepares to ask him what he's doing, but thinks better of it. Instead he curiously, watches the man, his eyes following his every movement.

OOC,Ben give me a cue when Sonny is back in the cellar, I assume it will take a few minutes to get Warren to the car and to return to the cellar

Charles and Michael can follow the beam of light from Richards flashlight. Its shining right on the wavy blade. Fresh blood covering it. Its laying on the ground, a board on top of it.
.
Sony,yes you are right, it will be a bit before you can return from the car.

Richard reply's back "Yes" without taking his eyes off the knife, he does not want the knife to get a moment of suprise and is completely ready to react in a defensive way to the knife if it attempts anything.

Richard is going to attempt to get his hand on the handle to be able to control the knife in case it tries to spring to life on its own.

As Richard gets really close to the knife, it springs to life. To hear the others say the knife moved on its own, but to see it for yourself...
.
Richard,make a sanity check 1/1d4
.
After floating for just a second it goes in for the attack.
.
OOC:   Knife attacks: [dice]0[/dice]  
.
Maybe it was Richard being ready, or maybe just poor aim, but the knife misses.
.
Richard,if you want to you can grab the handle, but you do have a pot lid in one and a flashlight in the other. To get a good grip you would need to drop something. you only have a second to respond before the knife will move again.

Holding the curtain (folded a few times to thicken the cloth), Charles lunges at the knife, hoping to envelop it in the folds of fabric.
