While all of you are standing around, hoping that good luck will shine down on you instead of trying to figure out the right way to go, 2 young boys of perhaps 12 or 13 are walking down the dirt road towards you. They are wearing blue jeans, buttoned up shirts and are carrying fishing poles.
.
Most of you notice the wheel on Eddie's Model T is looking pretty bad where the solid rubber tire is attached to the wheel.

[Mr. Handy]

The situation isn't all that bad; Eddie spots the problem with his wheel and sets about trying to fix it.

Climbing out of her motorbike, Alyssa removes her helmet and rests it on the bike, fixing her goggles up to her forehead. Alyssa slowly moves towards the two boys, "I'm terribly embarrassed to admit, but we're quite loss. Is Rockport isn't too far from here I hope?" With a welcoming smile, Alyssa bends down to the same height, "'Would you kindly dear?

[jbibblesworth]

As Alyssa approaches the boys, Scott joins Eddie in attempting to repair the battered tire.

"Wow Jimmy look, they must be gangsters," one of the kids say. "What are you guys doing way out here, there aren't any banks to rob here."
.
The tire takes a few minutes to swap out, but that is the only spare you have.

[Papa Gateau]

Aunt Loosa joins Alyssa

Well my dears, do I really look like a gangster or a moll! she gives a little chuckle

My friends and me were hoping to spend the day by the sea but we seem to have got ourselves all turned around and higgeldy-piggeldy lost. Would you be so kind as to point this old lady in the right direction for Rockport? she leans closer to the boys and whispers conspiratorially Don't let the men-folk know, they get awful upset about asking for help or directions she winks and her smile beams down on the lads.

[Priest]

Warren Kaine:

Seeing that Scott and Eddie have the wheel change well under control, I spend a few moments kicking the other wheels.
"These look okay for a time, but I wouldn't trust them too far".

Watching the faces of the boys when the aged black woman speaks to them is a picture. I dig in a pocket for a couple of dimes just in case.

[Silver Priest]

Aside from the snoring, Norman remained largely quiet during the drive. He had decided to take advantage of the chauffeuring and try to be well rested for when they arrived in Rockport.

He awakes with a jolt when Eddie stops the car and sets about fixing whatever problem it had. The librarian gets out and joins his traveling companion, who by now had been joined by Scott.

"Looks rather nasty. Good think you have a spare." Norman makes several vapid comments that likely only serve to irritate the two men as they work. Despite this it is clear he is trying to help, however ineffectively.

[DrVendetta]

Richard steps out of the car and looks around trying to figure out where they took a wrong turn. He see's that the others are working on changing out a tire on the other car why the women are talking to two boys. Richard decides to walk over to where the women are talking to the boys to ensure that they are getting directions on how to find there way back to the main road and town.

[Mr. Handy]

"It's not so bad," says Eddie. "Of course, that's the only spare I've got. I'll have to buy another in Rockport - assuming we ever get there, that is."

[BenTheRat]

Just as you are finishing up the tire, the two boys are making idle talk about when they went to the ocean earlier that summer, when the two of them began to grow, Their skin turned a brown hue and their shirts ripped off their bodies. The eyes for each boy moved and merged until each had only a single eye in their forehead. Their fishing poles turned into huge clubs as they continue to grow until they over 10 feet tall.

ooc all,everyone make a sanity 1/1d6 check. For those new to the game, this means if you roll your sanity or less you suffer 1 sanity point. If you fail you suffer 1d6. If you suffer 5 or more, other bad things happen. If you pass or suffer less than 5 points Sanity you may react.

[Mr. Handy]

"Um...what?!" says Eddie, bewildered but not too stunned to act. He gets behind the wheel of his car and starts it up. "Everyone back in the vehicles! We need to get out of here!"

The sheer impossibleness of the situation prevents Norman from truly focusing on it, perhaps keeping his mind from shattering. Deciding that this was an excellent time to listen to Officer Donovan, he rushes back towards the car.

Warren Kaine:

I watch as the figures change, fingers nervelessly releasing the coins in my pocket...

San Roll,1d100 → [60] = (60) http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4592454/ 1d6 → [5] = (5) http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4592458/ Here we go again. 5 points Sanity loss.

Aunt Loosa takes a step back as she sees the transformation take place in front her.

Alyssa dear, get your motorcycle ready. Off you run, now! she turns back towards to the creature

Really, this isn't the time or place for this! she starts to chant or pray, it's difficult to tell which as she is speaking in a her native creol argot; it seems she is entreating something or someone - the words or the name Papa Legba are repeated several times.

She walks slowly backwards whilst she does so, keeping her eyes on the things in front of her.

[BenTheRat]

Warren,please make a Know check, this one you want to fail.

aunt Loosa,please make an occult check
