Re: IC: Ch. 10 Back into the Breach...uh I mean House
Harrison swears loudly, looking frantically around the basement for some deus ex machina and then his eye falls on one of the big fuel-powered lights. He pulls the stopper from the fuel tank and pushes the thing over, so the petrol guzzles out against the woodwork of the building.
"Get the fuck out of there!", he yells, as he fishes for his matches.
"He said we were all cooked but we were all right as long as we did not know it. We were all cooked. The thing was not to recognize it."
Re: IC: Ch. 10 Back into the Breach...uh I mean House
Bad enough to see the misshapen Corbitt rise from the table; much worse to see his attack on Michael. Charles is sick to his stomach and acutely conscious of being unarmed. Hearing Harrison's cry, he scampers towards the outer basement and the stairs up tot he house.
Re: IC: Ch. 10 Back into the Breach...uh I mean House
As Scott pulls the trigger on his pistol he hears Harrison's warning,
"Jesus, No!! Run for it"
"Jesus, No!! Run for it"

Charles heads for the entryway to get out of the hidden room.
Richard is standing there his gun held limply in his hand trying to work out what the hell just happened.
Jordie is trying to decide if she should shoot again, grab the book or just run, she is also in the hidden room.
Sonny is in the hidden room with Corbitt laughing outloud at how hopeless your whole situation is, and that you are all going to die.
Scott is closest to the stairs and is ready to run up them.
Harrison is in the process of dumping over one of the lanterns in preparation of torching the whole place.
Takes a round to dump it and empty it, so you can't light it till next round.
And well Michael...

A handful of bullets wasn't enough to rip Corbitt to pieces. Watching sleeping beauty wake from it's slumber and kiss prince charming, Jordie's chest inflates in erratic motion and trembled the pistol with a death grip. A funhouse follows a chronological order of scares, nothing deviates from its linear course. Hoping this was the last scare and no tricks laid in ambush around the corner; her hands moved on their own, and Jordie quickly snatched the book off the table and makes for a quick escape. The unfamiliar fumes of cordite filled Jordie's lungs and bizarrely smelled like nail polish.
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.
Re: IC: Ch. 10 Back into the Breach...uh I mean House
Jordie grabs the book and as she picks it up she can feel the pages shift inside the book. A lot of paper crumbles out as she follows Charles past Sonny who is still laughing and Richard who is screaming.
.
Another round rings out from Scott and looks like a sure kill shot. But somehow it is deflected and barely grazes his shoulder. Though you can see a piece of his skin fall off from it. But not nearly enough damage to slow him down.
.
For a corpse he moves with lightning speed across the small inner sanctum in front of Richard and takes a swipe with one of his claws.
. .
He misses but the foul stench of Corbitt's breath seems to shake Richard out of his stuppor.

Seeing his last shot have the same effect as all the others, Scott turns on his heel and runs up the stairs...

Richard takes off for the stairs as well thinking to himself this can't be real, it can't be I hit him, Scott hit him and nothing happened, this just can't be real.

Harrison finished emptying the kerosene tanks, slashing as much as he can on the woodwork. He then takes out his lighter and throws it into the kerosene, before running off as fast as he can.
"He said we were all cooked but we were all right as long as we did not know it. We were all cooked. The thing was not to recognize it."
Re: IC: Ch. 10 Back into the Breach...uh I mean House
"SONNY!" yells Charles, looking back at him. He picks up a small piece of debris from the ground, throws it at Sonny, hoping to snap him out of it. At that same time, he sings the popular tune that Sonny had surprised them all with when he last arrived at the museum. Charles is singing with more volume than precision, but he hopes that the familiar song will help Sonny snap out of his reverie.
LA-LA-LA-LA-LAH!
LA-LA-LA-LA-LAH!
Re: IC: Ch. 10 Back into the Breach...uh I mean House
The small piece of debris flies through the air and smacks Sonny in the arm. He stops laughing for just a second sensing the danger around him.
. .
Harrison is trying to splash the kerosene on the wood, but inadvertantly gets some on his hands as well.
. .
the Kerosene catches quick and the building begins to burn.

Harrison manages to avoid getting soaked by the kerosene and as the flames spread, he looks up at Sonny and yells:
"Get the fuck out, Sonny!!! Run!"

Re: IC: Ch. 10 Back into the Breach...uh I mean House
Sonny finally stops laughing uncontrollably and takes in his situation. He makes a dash for the door - leaping through the flames, desperate to leave the horror that is Corbett behind
Re: IC: Ch. 10 Back into the Breach...uh I mean House
Corbitt hesitates for a second when he sees the fire engulf one wall of his Sanctuary and starts to quickly spread.
With a howl of rage he runs after the fleeing investigators and takes a swipe at the person in the rear as all of you quickly try to ascend the stairs as fast as possible.
. .
Sonny's small size saved him. He was the last to wake up and get to the stairs, but Corbitt hesitated too much and missed him.
.
Corbitt stops at the bottom of the stairs and howls up as the 6 of you make it out of the basement and into the hall. You can smell smoke as the house is starting to burn.

First up the stairs, Scott isn't stopping until he gets out side. Once outside he stops rests his hands upon his knees and coughs raw and breathlessly.
He isn't sure what he saw down there, and he's not sure he wants to know.

Re: IC: Ch. 10 Back into the Breach...uh I mean House
As Richard gets up the stairs he thankfull to be awat from Corbitt but is starting to think about what a huge mistake lighting the fire may have been. They werent authorized to "Burn" the house down and what were they going to tell the cops and fire depaertment when they showed up?

Harrison runs up the stairs and out into the hall, his hand already on the front door.
"Let's get the hell out of here, guys."

Charles joins the general stampede out of the house. "So much for a plan," he pants.

Sonny follows everyone up the stairs, as fast as he can can.

As Richard gets outside with everyone else he just keeps going over everything in his mind. There is something here that is clearly not right, his shots clearly hit Corbit, a few other shots clearly hit Corbitt, but all with no effect..... he starts wondering if he is starting to suffer from halucinations. He starts to look around for any sign of the rat stampede that left the house.
