Scene 8: The Cave of Wind.

The disappearance of a New York socialite might, on an ordinary day, simply become the subject of gossip column nattering and speculation.
This, though, is no ordinary day. Veronica Chadwick’s disappearance is but a single link in a chain of events that envelops the investigators in a web of terror and madness that might end with their deaths – or might never end at all…

Professor Krugman,It might be a good idea to look again at the writing on the parchment which Paul translated for you.

Ted is a bit freaked out.

"Alright enough of this. No more games." He keeps moving the gun back and forth from between the man and the doll.

Professor Krugman recites the words from the parchment as translated by Paul:
"A final rest
The freedom of lost souls
Now your spirit unfettered
The curse of your Master
Forever Unanswered"

Tony stands ready in case whatever the Professor is doing doesn't work. "I hope it doesn't have to be recited in Japanese," he says.

Paul,Make an Idea Roll +10.
At the professors recital of the words, other than producing a questioning look from the Samurai and a bizarre smile, which shows too many teeth, from the doll, nothing happens.

Paul,Tony is right the words are phonetically written in Japanese, as if to be recited by a non Japanese speaker, you also remember that there were instruction about the words and the pillars.

Paul yells over to the Professor but keeps his eyes on the Samuri and the doll "Hey Professor didnt you say something about repeating it five times, and doing it the pillars or something?"

"Y-yes!" Bridget blurts out, finding her voice at last. "It said it needs to be read at each pillar! To deal with the...what did you call it Professor? The...entity!"

She points an accustatory finger at the demonic doll.

"That THING looks like an entity to me!"

During the shouts by Paul and Bridget. The Samurai and the enigmatic doll thing show little interest in the various comments.

The Samurai continues his puzzled expression alternating with a toothy grin, while the doll still grinning, its sharp teeth stark against the red slash of its lips, slowly beckons towards you with its left hand while with an impossibly long right hand index finger it points towards the cave opening, "Wanna take a peek? Then step this way" Now it sounds like a typical mid-western carny opperative.

-Well, why don't we do like our hosts are saying and we go outside and you do the reading?- says Francis nervous. He try to go outside but without running to keep his dignity and always far away from the duo...

"We need to stay with him and protect him while he does it," says Tony.
OOC,I thought we were already outside the cave and hadn't gone in yet, and that it's trying to get us to go inside.

"No one is going in that cave." Ted still ready to take a shot at the doll or Samurai if anyone acts like they are going in the cave involuntarily.
