Alyssa,you are overwhelmed by the death of this person, who you didn't know but sacrificed himself to save you. You have gone into a Catotonic state where you are mumbling, trying to resolve in your mind why this person would sacrifice himself for you. Your only action until further notice is to mutter, kneel or sit down.

Eddie hears Alyssa scream behind him and begin to mutter. Richard has obviously been knocked unconscious, and Norman, well poor Norman. You know there will be a painting hanging on the wall back and MAPS. Will the rest of you be there, or can you stop it.

You know its hurt, its bleeding, but healing itself as well. Its running for its pit.

OOC:   The Star Spawn is currently 40' away from you. You can stand and shoot where you are, doing less damage, but with the greater chance to impale. Or you can run and get off a shot as he is going into the pit. But to get within 30' you will lose the +25% for it being large. So base chance to hit and impale. Or you can let it run and care for your friends. You do not have anytime to change weapons out.

Eddie pursues the creature, full of fury, knowing that he'll only get one shot and has to do as much damage as possible to have a chance of killing it before it can escape and heal. At least if he kills it, Norman's death will not have been in vain. He fires, and he is deadly accurate.

Eddie runs across the room firing his shotgun at the massive beast just as it is jumping into the pit. You hear a sorrowful screeching as it plummets to the bottom of the pit. The ground begins to shake as it hits the ground 40 feet down.

After a few seconds the ground stops shaking. Dust is falling from the ceiling clogging your throats as you try to breath. The only sound is a dripping noise and Alyssa stull murmuring about how Norman was crushed like a grape.

Eddie breathes a huge sigh of relief and turns back to look at his friends. "Alyssa, are you all right?" he asks. "We need to see if we can do anything for Richard." He goes over to where he has fallen and does his best to patch him up and revive him.

Alyssa looked vacantly at Eddie.

Eddie walks over to Richard and bandages a large gash on his head, as he is finishing up, Alyssa slumps to the floor. She is obviously overcome with everything that has gone on here.

She lifts her head to see Richard awake. Aunt Loosa comes up the tunnel from behind Alyssa and helps her up. She looks around and sees what is left of Norman on the floor. "Oh my." she mumurs. "What happened?" she asks.

OOC:   Everyone is free to act at this point.

"That creature happened," says Eddie. "I shot it up pretty good as it was trying to escape back into the pit, and it fell in. I think we killed it, but I'd better go make sure." He goes to the edge of the pit and looks down.

As you look down into the dark pit, you pull out your flashlight and shine it down. The huge beast lay unmoving at the bottom. A blackish liquid oozed out of the dozen wounds in its side.

Dazed Richard attempts to stand and then instinctively picks up the tommy gun and starts to looke around gathering in the scene as his wits slowly start to return.

"It's dead all right," says Eddie, turning away from the pit. "We'll have to take a look down there before we go." He walks back over to the others. "We did it! I just wish Norman had made it too. Alyssa, you were wonderful! I may have finished it off, but I couldn't have done it without you. Or you, Richard. Or Norman."

After Richard completly shakes off his unconciousness he goes to the edge of the pit and looks dow in at the beast to see with his own eyes that it is truely dead, "I think we need to burn it" he says out load "We need to ensure that none of those cultist find a way to reanimate it in any way" he says out load to everone.

"Yeah, you're right," says Eddie. "Alyssa has my lighter, but we'll need something to get the flames going, like oil or kerosene."

Alyssa is still shocked.

OOC:   When can she act again?

Everyone is free to act. See post at top of page.

"I just wanna get outta here," sobbed Alyssa.

Richard looks around for any kind of accelerant to use and rattles his brain for the last place he may have seen some.

There was a gas pump at the Hardware store.

"I don't blame you, Alyssa," says Eddie, offering her his handkerchief and his arm. "Let's get you back to the surface."

Richard looks closely at the wounds on the beast to make sure they are not healing up on there own and says "Maybe we get everyone out and then I'll come back with some gasoline and finish this thing, I have seen things that have appear to been brought back from beyond the veil of death and I do not want this beast to become one of those things. We might also want to get something to try to get rid of the engravings and that staue so they cant be used going forward either" as he turns and looks at the carvings on the wall and the statue.

"Yeah, I'm sure we can find some jerry cans and gas at a filling station," says Eddie. "Don't forget we still need to find that statue. My guess is it's down that pit."
