IC Ch 7a: Richard on his own

August 1921, Boston.
A dead guard at the abandoned chapel, a stolen statue revealing strange numbers and a burnt postcard. A strange night sighting by a Harvard professor only 2 days later has led to too many coincidences to ignore.
Dr. Chambers is forming another MAPS team, and you have been called.

IC Ch 7a: Richard on his own

Post by BenTheRat »

The Car speeds through the streets, making a left and then a right. You appear to be heading North, but you quickly get confused from the side streets he seems to be taking.

When you ask your question the woman in the front seat turns back to look at you, "it won't be long now."

Richard discreetly pulls his gun out and has it in his hand down below where the man and woman can see it "I didnt ask how long it takes to get there I asked where your clinic is?"

The man seems to be ignoring you. He turns onto a long stretch of road and is going North East direction. You can see the ocean off to your right. You have left the main part of the city.

"I need to get him there before he dies." he says still driving. "Or do you wish to shoot me and be in an uncontrolled car." He speeds up.

"We are almost there hold onto your horses. " he begins to slow down as he turns right onto a small dirt road. There is only a short road that ends in a small chapel up ahead.

You have the gun pointing at the woman who just starts laughing.

Richard knowing that he is now in trouble pulls the trigger with the gun aimed at the womans head.

The woman tries to dodge as you pull the trigger.

Failing the dodge, the gun goes off and strikes the woman at short range. (roll damage).

The man looks at you wild eyed, "You crazy son of a bitch," he says. The woman screams as the shot goes off striking her in the head. She slumps forward and you aren't sure if you killed her or not. The man turns the car and floors it. You can see it heading for the ocean as he bails out the driver door.

You can see he has propped a stick to hold down the gas pedal. You reach for your door handle and quickly realize this model has no inside door handles in the backseat.

OOC: Ok I figure that Richard is fairly familiar with cars of his time and would know how to open the door even if it is from the outside I am just not sure how to describe how I do it since I personally am not famaliar with back seat car doors of this time frame.

OOC: the statement below is based on Richard knowing the handle is on the outside of the door if this is wrong I will do something else

Richard smashed the window with the butt of his gun and opens the door from the outside and jumps out of the car attempting to roll as he jumpa out

Smashing the window is easy enough for Richard, you reach out and open the door. You are about to roll out when the car slams into the ocean throwing you out of the car, and into the ocean. The water is cold in the night air, but you aren't hurt by the accident, but this is more rocks than sand here.

You are able to stand and it is a little over waist deep. Your clothes are soaked. You see the car, that had continued into the water begin to sink, 2 wounded people still in it.

The driver that bailed out before you, gets to his feet and obviously wounded hobbles towards the chapel as you are standing.

You remember you were holding your gun in your hand.
Richard,make a very difficult strength check to hold onto the pistol. Str*5 / 2. So 30% to hold onto the pistol. Otherwise it is lost in the ocean.

Richard,yes I'm aware of that. But you only said you were pulling out 1. So you could only lose 1.
The gun slipped out of your grasp and flew into the dark water, somewhere. As you stand up on the slippery rocks, you can see the man hobbling to the chapel door.

After reaching shore Richard finds some place that gives him some cover and a view of the Chapel and looks around to see what else is visible from his view point. While doing this he pulls out his other gun and ensures that it is ready to go.
Ben,I am looking for other buildings or homes and any lights or signs of life from the Chapel or cars in the parking lot of the chapel. I am assuming this is the Chapel I was told about earlier.

Your gun got wet so you aren't 100% sure it will work. Right by the church is a house. There are lights on in the house, no lights on that you see in the church.
ooc,make a spot hidden check.
