IC Ch10: Back to Maps

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.

Eddie,The creature tumbles by you as you dodge behind the car, its now right between you and the wall of the alley, the car door at your back. Its breath rolling over your skin, the drool from its mouth dripping down and sizzling on the ground. It's razor sharp claws scratch along the wood wall behind it, driving a nerve into your skull. OOC: Make a Sanity 1/1d6 check
Everyone but Eddie,You hear him scream and hide behind the car, Allysa fires her pistol the bullet hitting the wood wall splintering it. You can't see it, but Eddie obviously can, he is now facing the wall, a look of terror on his face. His shotgun useless in his hands. Norman you are on the same side as Eddie. Richard and Allysa are on the passenger side. Aunt Loosa screams when the gun shot goes off.

Eddie manages to stay in control of himself and brings his shotgun to bear on the creature now that it has missed him.

OOC:   Alyssa has a shotgun so a roll of 30 is a hit--not that she could see anything.

OOC:   There are negatives for shooting at an invisible creature. But I did think you were shooting a pistol. Sorry its tough to keep up with what each player has, so please specify when you go to shoot. But either way in this incident your shot missed everything except the wall.

Its a new round so players may act if you have a gun in hand. Then we will go to initiative order.

Eddie squeezes the trigger. It's a hasty shot, but at this range, he can hardly miss.

Eddie,the shots ring loud through the alley as your shotgun and other guns light up. The wooden walls of the building are blown to pieces, and the creature before you is gone after the smoke clears.
Everyone except Eddie,You all blast your weapons, its almost deafening in the small alley. None of your shots seem to hit anything except the wall in front of Eddie.

Eddie breathes a sigh of relief. "It's gone again," he says, taking out a spare shotgun shell and loading it into the shotgun to replace the one he fired. "How does it keep disappearing like that?"

"Maybe our shots d...destroyed it?" ventures Norman. "And we can go back to Boston."

"Doubt it's that easy" says Richard. "Keep an eye out. Hopefully next time I'll be able to actually see it." His tone is sarcastic.

"Let's get back in the car," suggests Eddie. "I know I hit it pretty hard, but it wasn't enough to destroy the thing. If it were dead, there'd be a body. It must have slipped away again when the smoke blocked my view."

Everyone gets back in the car, the monster (that no one saw except Eddie) disappeared or has fled.

You pull out of the alley and onto Beach Street. There are bodies still everywhere.

Eddie brings the car to a halt. "I think we should proceed on foot from here," he says. "If we drive on, we'll obliterate any trace the creature left, and we won't be able to track it. We should probably head in the direction of the destruction, as we know it has been that way."

As everyone gets out of the car, it smells really bad here. Parts of bodies are strewn around, from your best estimate, 15-20 people might have died here.
ooc,everyone make a spot hidden check.

There is blood everywhere, those most of it has started to dry.

Richard kneels down in the middle of the road, "this isn't human blood, this is different. Whatever it is, it looked like someone was able to hurt it." He gets up and scans around and walks north along Beach street. "Looks like he turned around and went back the way he came."
