Unknown Place
Unknown Time

Elliot came to with a splitting headache. It hurt so bad that it took him a moment to realize that his arms ached too. This was because they were manacled to the wall above his head. That wall was rough, and it appeared to be a cavern of some sort. It was partially submerged, and he was up to his neck in water. Further along the wall to his left were three empty sets of similar manacles. Before him stood the sergeant, a furious scowl on his face. In his left hand, he held a flaming torch high overhead, and with his right he was bandaging Elliot and doing a decent job of it. Elliot started to feel somewhat better.

"Ah, you're awake," he said. "It was a touch and go there for a while. Thought we might lose you. Rackham got a wee bit too enthusiastic. O' course, you may come to wish you had died..."

Posted: **Sun Apr 20, 2014 5:03 am**

Elliot does a mental check of himself. Any injuries, and are my legs shackled?
.
"So why bother to heal me?"

Posted: **Sun Apr 20, 2014 5:45 am**

"Because it's harder to question you when you're dead," said the sergeant, a grim expression on his face.

Elliot was still very badly injured and only barely conscious, but he had sustained no new injuries since he had been bludgeoned to sleep. His legs were free, albeit underwater.

Posted: **Sun Apr 20, 2014 8:08 pm**

"Nice little operation you have here. What is it about half the city are similar?" Elliot probes.

Posted: **Mon Apr 21, 2014 12:44 am**

"We ask the questions, not you," said the sergeant. "Now, who are you? What are you doing in Dunwich? How many others are there with you?"

Posted: **Mon Apr 21, 2014 2:14 am**

"Me, I'm just a tourist. Don't I get a phone call or something?" Elliot responds.

Posted: **Mon Apr 21, 2014 3:16 am**

"Pull the other one, it's got bells on," said the sergeant. "You and your mates attacked us on the beach, and you'd robbed Mr. Horsham. With everything else that's been happening, you've got to be up to something. You don't have any rights here. As far as the rest of the world is concerned, you're a wanted criminal who fled from police and disappeared. Nobody's going to be looking for you here. Now, either you talk to me, or I turn you over to Y'Hali. She has ways of making you talk."

Posted: **Mon Apr 21, 2014 6:56 pm**

"What the hell are you talking about, I never laid a finger on him. I was just defending myself from him." Elliot protests.

Posted: **Tue Apr 22, 2014 5:30 am**

"You attacked us first," said the sergeant, "and the only reason you never laid a finger on Rackham is because you're no bloody good with a knife. Now, are you going to answer my questions, or do I have to go get Y'Hali?"

Posted: **Wed Apr 23, 2014 6:55 pm**

"Answer your questions? You haven't asked any questions. I'm confused by this whole busness." Elliot changes his expression from confrontational and confused to worried, "Look man, I really don't know what's going on here. I'm sure you want me out of your hair as much as I want to get out of it. Let me go and You'll never see me again."
. .

Posted: **Thu Apr 24, 2014 5:53 am**

"I did ask you questions," said the sergeant, frowning. "Maybe you're not just pretending to be an idiot." He repeated the questions slowly and loudly. "Who are you? What are you doing in Dunwich? How many others are there with you?"

Posted: **Thu Apr 24, 2014 11:29 pm**

"You're right, the name's Elliot." Elliot swallows hard like he's really scared."I'm just a two-bit con man. I ran into the old broad coming into town. I was trying to sell her some of your beach front property. She looked gullable enough. Look, I had no idea what was going on and I don't want to know."
.
"You're right about one thing, I have no idea how to use a knife or any other weapon. I'm not sure who you think I am or what group I'm in, but seriously. Did you see my fighting skills? I'm lucky I didn't cut myself." [b]Elliot [/b]looks down, "Sorry I attacked you guys, there was all this yelling and running and I thought the guy was diving at me, I just panicked."

Posted: **Fri Apr 25, 2014 5:36 am**

"Yeah, well, maybe that's so," said the sergeant grudgingly. "I'll go see what my superiors want done with you. Don't go anywhere." He chuckled as he said this last, then turned around and waded away through the water. Now that he was no longer directly in front of Elliot, the only visible exit from the cavern was revealed behind him: a sloping tunnel leading upwards.

Posted: **Fri Apr 25, 2014 3:55 pm**

Now that I'm alone, I test the Manacles for strength or if there is a chance for me to slip out of them.

I feel around on the floor or walls for anything I might could use to help me out.

Posted: **Sat Apr 26, 2014 5:43 am**

When the sergeant left, the cave was shrouded in darkness, though a faint glow came from the tunnel leading upwards. There was nothing Elliot could feel within reach that would help. He tested the manacles and found that they were too strong for him to have any hope of breaking, though someone of greater might could have had a chance. However, they were not excessively tight, and he was very agile. If he relaxed his muscles, he just might have been able to squeeze his hands out of them.

Posted: **Sat Apr 26, 2014 12:15 pm**

At least the manacles aren't too tight. As much as he tried, he couldn't get his hand out. He may have bought himself some time, but how much?

Posted: **Sun Apr 27, 2014 2:23 am**

Elliot tried to extract himself from the manacles for a while, but he was unable to make any headway. Fortunately, his captors still seemed to be leaving him alone, and nobody disturbed him.

Posted: **Mon Apr 28, 2014 3:29 pm**

Posted: **Tue Apr 29, 2014 4:48 am**

Elliot was making a little more progress, but he still was unable to free either of his hands. He had no idea how long he had been down here, or how much longer he would be left to his own devices, but so far nobody disturbed him.

Posted: **Tue Apr 29, 2014 5:50 am**

.

Posted: **Wed Apr 30, 2014 5:15 am**

Try as he might, Elliot was unable to make any headway.

Posted: **Wed Apr 30, 2014 5:17 pm**

.
Just as Elliot felt he might have a chance to get a hand free, he heard something and froze.

Posted: **Thu May 01, 2014 5:12 am**

Elliot managed to slip part of his hand out of one of the manacles, but his thumb prevented him from getting it the rest of the way out. In the distance, coming from the direction of the exit from this cavern, came the sound of splashing - and it was moving closer.

Posted: **Fri May 02, 2014 1:53 pm**

Elliot doesn't like the sound of splashing coming closer. He frantically tries to free himself again.
. .
At last the hands spring free from the cold manacles. They are sore and scraped. but at least he is free.
. .
Luck still seems to be on his side.

OOC: I'm assuming I'm still waiting

Posted: **Sat May 17, 2014 4:33 am**

Posted: **Fri May 23, 2014 3:06 pm**

OOC: Just checking in, its been another week. I'm ALIVE!!

Posted: **Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:58 am**

Posted: **Sun Jun 08, 2014 4:47 am**

Elliot barely managed to slip his hands out of the manacles, though it was painful. Of course, everything hurt already, so he hardly noticed it. No sooner was he free than he could see the three constables, led by the sergeant, starting to wade down the sloping tunnel leading into the partially submerged cavern. They hadn't seen him yet, but they would in a few seconds.

Posted: **Tue Jun 10, 2014 5:29 am**

Elliot Webb
.
Holding his breath Elliot quietly submerges into the water crouching against the wall ready to push.
.
If they move up to the wall in search of him, he will try and push off the wall and glide past, then come up running. If they turn and run back up the tunnel he will wait there.

Posted: **Wed Jun 11, 2014 5:14 am**

Posted: **Wed Jun 11, 2014 5:22 am**

Elliot tries to remain as still as he can in the shadows.

Posted: **Thu Jun 12, 2014 4:49 am**

Elliot plunged beneath the surface as the policemen entered the cavern, carrying burning torches whose light was visible even through the murky water. After a moment they turned around and went back up the tunnel, thankfully before Elliot had to surface in order to take another breath.

Posted: **Thu Jun 12, 2014 5:01 am**

Elliot moves quietly to the exit of this horrid pit, trying to hear what the frogmen, monsters, hybrids, whatever the hell they are say.
. .
They are plainly not trying to hush their voices as Elliot hears them clearly.

Posted: **Fri Jun 13, 2014 5:14 am**

Elliot could hear quite well what was being said in the chamber above and ahead.

"He's gone!" came the sergeant's voice, sounding rather angry. "You were supposed to be watching this room."

"We're watching the entrance," burbled an unfamiliar voice with a croaky timbre. "He couldn't have get past us that way. And you watch your tongue. We are your elders, and you are not yet fully one of us."

The sergeant sighed in resignation. "We're going to inform Y'Hali. She will know what to do about him - and about you lot. Then we'll search the caves top to bottom. You three keep an eye on that entrance."

Three sets of footsteps moved away and faded into the distance. They were heading upwards and to the left. Soon it fell quiet.

Posted: **Fri Jun 13, 2014 7:41 pm**

Crap Elliot thinks to himself. Are there any other exits out of the room, cracks, small tunnels, etc...

Posted: **Sun Jun 15, 2014 4:15 am**

Elliot explored the dark confines of the cave, but the upward-sloping tunnel was the only way out that he could find.

Posted: **Sun Jun 15, 2014 5:40 am**

Elliot attempts to sneak up the tunnel towards the exit and the guards.
. .
Trying to be as quiet as he can, but the soaked clothes obviously give him away.
.

Posted: **Mon Jun 16, 2014 4:43 am**

Elliot made his way up the tunnel and emerged into a larger, round chamber. The water here was only about two feet deep. It surrounded a raised dais of dry land in the middle, as if it were a moat. On the platform stood a rectangular altar made of obsidian with horns on its four corners. The cavern was lit by flaming torches in sconces on the walls. Three additional tunnels led out of this room. The one in the left wall slanted upwards, rising out of the water. The one opposite and the one in the right wall both sloped downwards, where the water got deeper. Three large Sea Devils stood guard at the right edge of the rocky platform, watching the exit in that direction. They looked like the one that Salem had captured, with long string mesh vests, spears, and large nets. None of them seemed to have heard him, so intent were they on their vigil.

Posted: **Mon Jun 16, 2014 3:38 pm**

Elliot can't believe his eyes, these creatures are everywhere.
. .
Elliot swallows down his bile, and takes the left tunnel, trying to be as quiet as possible.
. .

Posted: **Tue Jun 17, 2014 5:10 am**

Elliot waded through the moat and ascended the upward-sloping tunnel, this time more carefully. The water level dropped off, and soon the ground was dry. He emerged into another round chamber, this one also with a tunnel exiting in each of the four cardinal directions. The one ahead of him continued to ascend, but the ones on the left and right were level. A faint orange glow came from the tunnel to the left, similar to the one behind him from the torches in the altar room. Voices also came from the tunnel on the left. Another three Sea Devils stood in this room, facing the ascending tunnel straight ahead. They had not noticed him either.

Posted: **Tue Jun 17, 2014 6:06 pm**

.
Elliot is having a hard time understanding where all these creatures are coming from. 1 is just a weird mutant, 2-3 is weird enough, but he has seen a whole race of these beasts. He stands quiet and listens.
.

Posted: **Wed Jun 18, 2014 5:22 am**

Elliot could make out what the voices down the left tunnel were saying.

"I secured him well, I'm sure of it," insisted the sergeant's voice. "I don't know how he got loose from his chains, or how he got through the altar room without the guards noticing. The point is that we need to find him."

"He can't have gone far," said one of the other constables. "The exits are guarded, and he's badly injured. We really beat the stuffing out of him."

"Nonetheless, we cannot take chances," said a low, burbling, vaguely female voice. "The human must not be allowed to escape. He has probably already seen too much."

"Shall we release Rover, High Priestess?"

"I doubt that will be necessary."

"I am exhausted from controlling him anyway," said another female-sounding voice similar to the first. "I would rather not let him out of the pit again just now. Perhaps we should have Emilia track him down. I'm sure she'd appreciate having a plaything."

Posted: **Wed Jun 18, 2014 10:16 pm**

Elliot moves to the tunnel on the right, hoping to continue to stay quiet.
. .

OOC: OH CRAP, I knew it wouldn't last.

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2014 5:55 am**

Elliot followed the tunnel, which opened up into another chamber. It was smaller than the other ones, and the walls were rougher and more irregular. There were no other exits besides the one through which he came. He was still able to hear the distant voices.

"Best not to give him to Emilia until we're done with him," said the High Priestess. "She might break him. Victoria may want him too."

"Well, we'd better start the search," said the sergeant. "Come on, men."

Three sets of footsteps headed towards the cavern that Elliot had just left.

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2014 5:25 pm**

Elliot looks around the small room he is in. Is there a place to hid in here, even if its up against the wall next to the entrace. So if they did a cursory look they wouldn't see me.
.
He also looks for a small rock. Something he could throw that would make enough noise to distract the guards.
.
If they go through the last room and head towards the room I am in, I'll try and hide as best possible.
.
If they turn and go down to where I had come from, I plan to go back to the room I was in, and distract the guards by throwing the rocks into an empty hall. Then make a sprint up the hall they are guarding.

What does Elliot think his odds of pulling this off are?

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2014 5:47 am**

Elliot easily found a small rock on the floor of the small chamber.

"You two make sure the storeroom's empty," said the sergeant. "I'll wait for you here, and then we'll head down."

"Right, Sarge," said one of the constables. Two sets of footsteps began to approach. Elliot looked around for a hiding place, but the only decent one in this cave was against the wall next to the entrance.

Posted: **Fri Jun 20, 2014 3:39 pm**

"Oh crap" Elliot thinks to himself as he tries and make his body blend in with the shadows, and lower his breathing to a barely perceptable level.
.

Posted: **Sat Jun 21, 2014 5:32 am**

Elliot pressed himself against the wall as the two constables entered the cave, bearing their torches and looking around. He seemed to have disappeared completely, for they took no notice of him and left a few seconds later.

"It's empty," said one of them.

"All right, we'll head down next," said the sergeant. "He couldn't have gotten past the guards without them noticing. He's either got to be in Emilia's cave, or else he doubled back to the dungeon. Either way, we'll get him." Three sets of footsteps headed down the slope, soon splashing into the water.

Posted: **Sat Jun 21, 2014 11:56 pm**

Elliot tries to count the number of footsteps in his head but gets confused. He inches back down till he can see if anyone is left in the next room.

Posted: **Sun Jun 22, 2014 5:02 am**

Elliot carefully made his way back to the central chamber he had just left. The three Sea Devils were still there, watching the upward-sloping passage that was now on the right. Their backs were to him, and they still had no idea he was there. He could hear the police splashing around down the tunnel to his left. Straight ahead was the exit they had emerged from after talking to the high priestess, through which he could see torchlight.

Posted: **Sun Jun 22, 2014 5:10 am**

Elliot moves against the right wall of the tunnel and far enough back in that he cannot see the guards, and hopefully they cannot see him.
.
He is going to wait until he doesn't hear the splashing from the downward slope.

Posted: **Mon Jun 23, 2014 5:06 am**

Soon the splashing sounds faded away.

Posted: **Mon Jun 23, 2014 7:25 pm**

Elliot makes his way behind the 3 guards and heads toward the chamber with the torch lit. What can he see in there?

.

Posted: **Tue Jun 24, 2014 4:40 am**

Elliot saw that the tunnel led in for a short distance before curving around to the right.

Posted: **Tue Jun 24, 2014 2:05 pm**

Elliot continues to move as quiet as he can, he follows the tunnel to the right. He is going to follow it till he sees someone or gets to the next room.

Posted: **Wed Jun 25, 2014 5:24 am**

As Elliot approached the curve, he caught a glimpse of part of a huge, brightly lit chamber in the distance. Three more Sea Devils were visible, all with string mesh vests like the others, but only one carried a spear. He was seated on the ground before a large gilded throne with an iron lever beside it. Upon the throne sat a female Sea Devil wearing a golden tiara, and another female Sea Devil was at her side. Gray blobs of slime covered this one's claws. In the middle of the chamber was a vast, slightly raised circular mosaic with carvings that he couldn't make out from here.

Posted: **Wed Jun 25, 2014 4:50 pm**

"Oh God, wrong way." Elliot thought to himself.
. .
Swallowing the bile, its like he had gotten use to these monsters. He sneaks back to the previous room. Then with his back against the wall, so that they cannot see him. He throws the rock down the hall that slopes down. Hopefully hitting the wall and making a noise for the creatures he is near will hear and investigate.
. .
Elliot doesn't think the rock made enough noise to draw them away. So he tries to come up with some other idea that might work.
. .

OOC: OMG my guy is clueless

.
Not coming up with anything new, Elliot will attempt to sneak back to the storage room.

Posted: **Thu Jun 26, 2014 5:21 am**

Elliot threw the rock, but it fell short and landed in the middle of the chamber below. Two of the creatures turned to look, but Elliot was safely ensconced in the dark tunnel leading to the storage room.

"What was that?" asked one of the Sea Devils.

"Musta been something falling from the ceiling," said the other one that had looked.

The creatures returned their attention to the exit.

Posted: **Thu Jun 26, 2014 7:32 pm**

Elliot waits for the sea devils to turn back to their guard positions and attempts to sneak back into the store room.
. .

OOC: ugghhhh!!

.
Half way across, Elliot's foot slips and splashes in a puddle. Elliot freezes, waiting to see if they respond.

Posted: **Fri Jun 27, 2014 5:39 am**

"There it is again!" said the first Sea Devil. "It's coming from the storage room."

"I heard it too," said the second.

"I didn't hear anything," said the third, "and the coppers already searched it."

"Well, I'm going to go check it out," said the first, and he strode towards the tunnel down which Elliot had gone.

Posted: **Fri Jun 27, 2014 4:14 pm**

Elliot jumps into his hiding spot he used before. If the sea devil looks like he is about to spot me, he will attack with his fists, trying for a quick knockout. (that is a last resort.)
.

Posted: **Sat Jun 28, 2014 5:21 am**

Elliot shrank against the wall as the Sea Devil entered the small chamber and looked around. As it turned in his direction, its already bulging eyes went even wider and it fumbled for its net.

Posted: **Sat Jun 28, 2014 6:36 am**

Elliot gives it the biggest roundhouse he has. He knows those 1 shot knockouts are a movie thing, but who knows, maybe this guy has a glass jaw.
.

OOC: Punch, target = 50%: [dice]0[/dice]

. .
Obviously catching the sea creature by surprise, he hits him hard right in the face.

Posted: **Sun Jun 29, 2014 2:15 am**

Elliot sucker punched the Sea Devil, his fist impacting it right in the nose, or what passes for it with these creatures. Blood sprayed out of it and the monster reeled. While the blow might have taken down a man, these things were a bit tougher. Further hits might do the trick, but would he get the chance?

"It's the human!" bellowed the Sea Devil, looming over Elliot at over eight feet tall. It flicked the net at him, but it was still wobbly from the punch and missed.

Posted: **Sun Jun 29, 2014 4:56 am**

Elliot is thinking, I am so screwed.
.
He swings again, .
Catching the huge beast with a left, hoping a 2nd good punch will take him down.

Posted: **Sun Jun 29, 2014 5:08 am**

The Sea Devil grunted and flailed with its net again, but it was even clumsier this time. Then the other two Sea Devils came rushing up the tunnel.

Posted: **Sun Jun 29, 2014 1:01 pm**

Elliot knows there is know way to take all three of these guys at once.
So time for a wild hair plan. I want to knock the guy I've been pounding on into the 2 coming down the hall. Hopefully just as they enter. The idea is it will knock down all 3 in a jumbled mess, and I have a split second to run past them.

If this isn't possible i will just take another swing.
.

Posted: **Mon Jun 30, 2014 3:34 am**

Elliot tried to grab hold of the creature, but it was too slimy and slipperty to get a grip. Then the other two rushed into the chamber and spread out, wielding their nets. All three tried to entrap him, but they all missed badly.

Posted: **Mon Jun 30, 2014 4:54 am**

Elliot runs towards the exit as fast as his legs will carry him. If he makes it to the next room he won't even stop to look he will just turn right and take the passage slopping up, that the guards were watching.

Posted: **Tue Jul 01, 2014 4:56 am**

Elliot sprinted between the Sea Devils as they gathered up their nets again. They chased him down the tunnel and back into the central chamber, where the sergeant and his men were just returning from the downward-sloping passage on the left. "Hey!" shouted the sergeant as Elliot turned right and darted up the tunnel in that direction, his former captors in hot pursuit. The tunnel rose gradually. At the end was a narrow stone stairway leading further upwards. It was only wide enough for two to walk side by side. The Sea Devils were right behind him, followed closely by the police.

Posted: **Wed Jul 02, 2014 1:38 am**

Elliot continues to run, as fast as his legs will carry him. If he sees something that can easily be thrown in front of the pursuers, he will try and knock that down to slow them down. So Torch or chairs or anything. Otherwise he just keeps running looking for a way out.

Posted: **Wed Jul 02, 2014 2:14 am**

The stairway was devoid of everything, including light. If it weren't for the torches of the police bringing up the rear of the group of pursuers, Elliot wouldn't be able to see a thing. As it was, it was still difficult to see, but he could make out the outline of the steps. Before long, he reached the top. The stairs went all the way to the flat roof of the cavern, where they inexplicably stopped.

Posted: **Wed Jul 02, 2014 6:52 pm**

Posted: **Thu Jul 10, 2014 3:21 am**

Elliot could see a square outline in the cavern roof above him, and he could tell that it was a loose stone slab set into the ceiling that might be pushed upwards and removed. Relief flooded him that there should be another way out of here, as nobody would waste the effort building a stairway that didn't go anywhere.

Posted: **Sun Jul 13, 2014 3:13 am**

OOC: back, I'm back now.

.
Elliot sees the slab and tries to do a quick step on the wall and push the slab aside while pulling himself through.
.

OOC: handy, I know this is a very difficult move, but I feel that's the only way to get up there without being grabbed. If I'm not understanding the situation, let me know.

Posted: **Sun Jul 13, 2014 4:13 am**

Elliot slid the slab aside easily enough, revealing moonlight above him. The stairs actually went all the way up to where the slab had been, so he was able to simply run up them. The first two Sea Devils were right behind him, and they nearly snared him in a net before he bolted.

Elliot emerged into a ruined abbey perched on a high cliff top. Ahead, a road was visible some distance away. Behind him was the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea, which had to be to the east.

Posted: **Mon Jul 14, 2014 7:44 pm**

Elliot, not wanting to risk the cliffs in the dark, even if there is moonlight, takes off for the road.
He knows which way is North now, he tries to remember if he has seen this place before or where Dunwich is from where he is.

Posted: **Tue Jul 15, 2014 3:57 am**

Elliot sprinted for the road, the shadowy shapes of his pursuers not far behind him. A wall separated the ruins from the road, but there was a gate. While a barrier prevented vehicles from entering from the road, it was no obstacle to a pedestrian. It was when Elliot reached this that he realized where he was. Across the street was a familiar cottage, where earlier today (was it still the same day?) he had met the writer Virgil Soames. The ruins were thus Greyfriars Abbey. The road went southwest (towards Lake Manor) and northeast (towards Dunwich proper).

Posted: **Tue Jul 15, 2014 5:01 am**

If there is a light on or any kind of life, Elliot will give his last sprint to head towards the cottage of Virgil Soames.

If the house is dark and appears empty he will go into a long distance run pace and head for the town, hoping the fish are more adept in the water than land.

Posted: **Tue Jul 15, 2014 5:05 am**

Elliot bolted across the street towards Virgil Soames's cottage, where a light was on in one window. He reached the front door, which he found locked. The fishmen were just a short distance behind him, loping and hopping across the road.

Posted: **Tue Jul 15, 2014 2:41 pm**

Elliot pounds loudly on the door. "Mr. Soames, Virgil, are you there? Help please."
.
Elliot won't wait long if there is no answer and the beasts are getting closer he will run around to the back and try the back door.

Posted: **Wed Jul 16, 2014 4:42 am**

Footsteps approached the front door from within the house, and a light went on in the window next to the door as well. The creatures chasing Elliot paused, then faded into the shadows. A moment later, the door opened to reveal Virgil Soames carrying a double-barreled shotgun in his left hand, pointed at the ground at an angle. "Mr. Webb," he said. "I think you'd better come inside." He stepped out of Elliot's way.

Posted: **Wed Jul 16, 2014 2:50 pm**

Elliot leans back when he sees the shotgun, but is greatly releaved at Virgil's words and quickly slips into the cabin. "Thank you for opening the door, at least 5 of the beasts are out there. Sorry to lead them here sir, but I was on my last leg, I didn't have much choice." Elliot stands behind Virgil looking over his shoulder trying to catch his breath at the same time.

Posted: **Thu Jul 17, 2014 2:55 am**

Once Elliot was safely inside, Virgil shut the door and locked it securely, with both a deadbolt and a chain. "Oh, they know better than to bother me," he said. "I'm afraid I'm not much of a doctor, but I do have some iodine and bandages. I could call Dr. Strong if you like. He still makes housecalls. What happened to you? You look like you've been beaten half to death!"

Posted: **Fri Jul 18, 2014 1:57 am**

Elliot Webb
.
The pain from the wounds came rushing back. "damn it must have been adrenaline keeping me going." Elliot sits down in the nearest chair. "I don't want the Doc to risk himself coming here. If I can just stay till morning I can be on my way." Elliot closed his eyes and tried to relax for the first time since he awoke.

Posted: **Fri Jul 18, 2014 5:59 am**

"You're welcome to stay, and you'll be safe under my roof," said Virgil. "You may want to stay longer, as once you leave you'll be in danger again. I'll get the medical supplies. Would you like some tea? Something to eat?"

Posted: **Fri Jul 18, 2014 10:56 pm**

Elliot Webb
.
"I don't want to be any trouble. Do you have a phone I could use to check in?" Elliot asks.

Posted: **Sat Jul 19, 2014 5:17 am**

"Yes, there's one in the study," said Virgil. He opened a door in the left wall and led Elliot inside. The study had mahogany panels covering the walls. It contained a large fireplace, currently lit, a big oak writing desk with several drawers, a comfortable-looking leather armchair, and several shelves lined with books. An old-fashioned telephone was atop the desk, as was Midnight, who was curled up and sleeping.

Posted: **Sat Jul 19, 2014 5:05 pm**

Elliot picks up the phone and asks the operator to be connected to the Ship's Inn. When connected "Yes miss, I'd like to leave a message for my aunt. Ms. Valarie Soames, yes she is a guest there. Just leave the message that 'Elliot is staying at Virgil's house tonight, I'll see her in the morning.' Yes, that is correct. Thank you very much."
Elliot then sits down and sips a cup a hot tea, as its warmth floods through him, he nods off at some point, exhaustion and sweeping over him.

Posted: **Sun Jul 20, 2014 3:53 am**

"I'll be sure to pass your message on, sir," replied Annie Howard on the phone before hanging up.

While Elliot had been on the telephone, Virgil had stepped out. He returned with the promised medical supplies and tea. Before Elliot had a chance to do much, there was a loud, insistent knock at the front door.

"Wait here," said Virgil. "I'll get that."

Posted: **Sun Jul 20, 2014 3:59 am**

With the knock on the door Elliot's training kicked in and he was up looking for a weapon. Spotting the fireplace poker he grabs it and stands where he can see the door before Virgil can open it.
"I'm not sure you want to open that. It could be those creatures." Elliot says.

Posted: **Mon Jul 21, 2014 5:30 am**

"Thank you for your concern," said Virgil, "but I'm quite capable of taking care of myself. The creatures know better than to bother me, and when they do come for someone they don't tend to knock." He made his way to the front door, holding the shotgun behind it. He undid the deadbolt but left the chain on as he opened the door slightly. "Good evening, constables. How can I help you?"

"We're looking for a dangerous fugitive," said the voice of the sergeant. "He and his friends assaulted us earlier. We managed to catch him, but then he got away from us. We got a report that he was seen on your property."

"Well, you're the only ones I've seen tonight."

"He might be hiding on the premises. Do you mind if we have a look around?"

"As a matter of fact, I do mind."

"We can just go and get a warrant, you know."

Posted: **Tue Jul 22, 2014 4:42 am**

Elliot keeps quiet ready to attack if they come in, quickly glancing around the room to see if there is something better than the fireplace poker to use.

Posted: **Wed Jul 23, 2014 3:39 am**

There were no better potential weapons visible.

"Then that's what you'll have to do," said Virgil. "I bid you gentlemen good night." Then he closed the door and returned to Elliot, ushering him into the study. "They must be looking for you," he said quietly. "I doubt they'll wait until morning either, given how anxious they seemed to find you. They can rouse the magistrate, who's in Lake's pocket, and get a warrant as a mere formality. It'll take them some time, but not too much. In the meantime, I'm sure they'll have someone watching the house."

Posted: **Wed Jul 23, 2014 4:04 am**

Elliot
.
"Thank you, but I don't want you to get you in any trouble. Is there a way out of here that they won't be able to see me? " Elliot asks finishing off his tea rather quickly.

Posted: **Wed Jul 23, 2014 4:33 am**

"Well, it's dark out, which will help some," said Virgil, trying to treat Elliot's injuries but unable to do much. "However, you're going to need some more help. I can...raise a fog. Once it comes in off the sea, that will cover your escape and they won't see you leaving."

Posted: **Wed Jul 23, 2014 3:06 pm**

Elliot says, "let me do that" as he takes the bandages. But only half way through the wrapping his eyes open as what Virgil said finally sinks in, "raise a what???"

Posted: **Thu Jul 24, 2014 5:42 am**

"A fog," said Virgil, as if there were nothing unusual about what he was saying. "Off the sea. I realize this may be hard to believe, but after you've seen those creatures, you must now be aware that there are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Some of my ancestors were Vikings, and I've learned a bit of their magick." The way he pronounced it, the "k" at the end was almost audible. "Once the fog comes in, it will remain until morning. That will give you plenty of time to make your escape unseen. If you come with me to the kitchen, I'll show you. Why are they after you, by the way? You must have stirred up quite a hornet's nest!"

Posted: **Thu Jul 24, 2014 3:54 pm**

Elliot,
.
"It all started when a friend of mine started looking around town, and they kidnapped her. I snuck into their house and freed her, then the police come looking for her, and they snagged me instead. They had me in their hole under the ruins there, talked about feeding me to something. It's just been a real nightmare. I'm afraid me calling the hotel, gave away my position, but they weren't far behind I figured they knew where I was." Elliot stops to take a breath. "Well if you can make fog, go for it, and I'll make a run into town to see if I can meet up with my friends. I can't thank you enough for what you've done."

Posted: **Fri Jul 25, 2014 5:29 am**

"You must mean Dr. Kirby," said Virgil as he led the way to the kitchen. "I'm glad you were able to rescue her, and I hope she got out all right. I'm glad to help you, and anything I can do to frustrate their plans without violating the informal truce is an added bonus." He opened the refrigerator and took out a small bowl with its top covered in aluminum foil, which he placed on the kitchen table. He removed the foil to reveal the bowl's contents: water that smelled of sea salt. Then he sat down in front of the bowl and blew gently over it for several minutes. "That should do it," he said at last. "Are you sure you want to head back into town? Since they're looking for you, it will be highly dangerous."

Posted: **Fri Jul 25, 2014 3:28 pm**

"I think there is strength in numbers and thats where my friends are." Elliot puts down the fireplace poker and takes a bite of whatever food was offered.
.

Posted: **Mon Jul 28, 2014 3:39 am**

Virgil gave Elliot some bread to eat while they were in the kitchen. "Well, you do what you have to do," he said, "but are you sure your friends are still there?"

Posted: **Mon Jul 28, 2014 5:01 am**

"Absolutely not, but at least I won't be here. Just let me know when your fog is up enough to conceal me." Elliot puts some bread in a pocket and takes a bit of water. "Thanks for everything Virgil."

Posted: **Tue Jul 29, 2014 5:10 am**

"You're quite welcome," said Virgil. He moved the curtain aside from a window, which looked out over the darkened back yard west of the house. Sure enough, fog was starting to roll over it. He watched it for a minute while the fog thickened. "All right, I think that will suffice. You might want to use the back door here in the kitchen. I wish you the best of luck, Mr. Webb." He extended his hand.

Posted: **Tue Jul 29, 2014 10:58 pm**

Elliot quickly shook his hand, "Well here goes nothing." With the lights out, Elliot sneaks out the back door and tries to head towards the nearest cover, trees or rocks.

Posted: **Wed Jul 30, 2014 5:23 am**

Elliot made his way through the woods behind Virgil's cottage. The fog was very thick now, and while it made it hard for anyone to see him, it likewise made it hard for him to see where he was going. It was difficult to find his way back to town.

Posted: **Thu Jul 31, 2014 5:02 am**

. .

Posted: **Fri Aug 01, 2014 4:36 am**

Elliot wandered lost in the fog for a while, unsure where he was going. Eventually he stumbled across a road stretching off to the left and right, but he couldn't see where it went in either direction.

Posted: **Fri Aug 01, 2014 3:11 pm**

"Well you've gone and got yourself lost you idiot. Damn that fog is thicker than I thought it would be." Elliot thinks to himself.
Elliot calms his nerves by taking a deep breath. Takes a bite of the bread he has and a drink of water.
.

Posted: **Sat Aug 02, 2014 4:20 am**

Elliot stepped on a twig he couldn't see in the pea soup, causing it to snap with a loud crack!

"Who's there?" burbled a voice from no more than twenty feet away, though Elliot still couldn't see anything - at least not until the Sea Devil came shambling out of the fog directly towards him from his right!

Posted: **Sat Aug 02, 2014 5:19 am**

OOC: sorry, of course you are correct, not sure where that 65 came from. my bad.

.
As the Sea Devil comes at Elliot, he will run at him as well. Just as he attacks, Elliot will attempt to dodge under the attack and continue to run.
.

Posted: **Sat Aug 02, 2014 6:19 pm**

The Sea Devil tried to snag Elliot in its net, but he moved too quickly. "I found him!" it called into the night as it gave chase after Elliot, who ran past it along the edge of the road.

Posted: **Sat Aug 02, 2014 6:47 pm**

.
Elliot continues to run down the edge of the road, hopefully towards town. But he really has no idea where he is going. If he can get a decent lead on the pursuer, he will duck into the woods and try to hide.

Posted: **Sat Aug 02, 2014 8:08 pm**

Posted: **Sat Aug 02, 2014 9:01 pm**

Posted: **Sat Aug 02, 2014 9:28 pm**

Elliot managed to disappear into the fog. He could hear the footsteps of the creature searching for him, as well as two more sets nearby. All of them were fairly well spread out, so that if he were to go anywhere, he would risk them hearing him, though at least he wouldn't stumble right into them now that he knew where they were. He also had no idea where he was, and he had now lost sight of the road.

Posted: **Sat Aug 02, 2014 10:33 pm**

Elliot knows he can't stay here forever and that eventually they will find him if he doesn't keep moving. '3 of them nearby, crap' he thinks to himself.
.
Elliot moves trying to split between 2 of them.

Posted: **Sat Aug 02, 2014 11:06 pm**

Elliot made his way deeper into the woods, and the creatures' footfalls soon faded until they were no longer audible. He still had no idea where he was.

Posted: **Sun Aug 03, 2014 4:14 am**

Posted: **Sun Aug 03, 2014 4:19 am**

Elliot realized that he had been going in circles earlier, and had run across the road near Virgil's cottage. The Sea Devils that had been chasing him had to have been the ones lying in wait watching the cottage. Since that road led back to town, he was able to head parallel to it through the woods to the northeast. Soon he saw buildings looming out of the darkness and fog ahead, and he made his way to the car park behind and beside the Ship Inn. Lights were on in some of the windows. However, he did not see the Model T or the Land Rover in the car park.

Posted: **Sun Aug 03, 2014 5:35 am**

Elliot checks the grounds to see if anyone is watching the Inn.
. .
And just in case:

Posted: **Mon Aug 04, 2014 2:16 am**

Elliot couldn't see anyone watching the inn, though the fog did limit his visibility. He did see a fire escape behind the inn that would give him access to the upper floor, but the ladder that would reach to the ground was currently in the raised position. However, he would likely still be able to climb up to the fire escape's landing.

Posted: **Mon Aug 04, 2014 2:28 am**

.
Being unable to climb up on the fire escape, he is going to give up on that. "Hmmm, nothing up there anyway." Elliot muses.

Posted: **Mon Aug 04, 2014 3:24 am**

Elliot was unable to find purchase on the inn wall and could not ascend to the landing. That still left him with the dilemma of what to do now. The inn did have a rear entrance, though there was no guarantee he'd be able to enter that way, and there was always the front door.

Posted: **Mon Aug 04, 2014 3:44 am**

Elliot will try the back door.

Posted: **Mon Aug 04, 2014 3:59 am**

The back door proved to be locked.

Posted: **Mon Aug 04, 2014 4:45 am**

. .
Elliot curses under his breath, damn this town has me shook up. He heads down to the shack where we got split up, trying to stay hidden.
.

Posted: **Mon Aug 04, 2014 5:06 am**

The pick snapped off in the lock, jamming it thoroughly. Elliot made his way to the beach, which was deserted at this time of night. It took him a while to walk down until he reached Horsham's shack. No lights were on inside.

Posted: **Mon Aug 04, 2014 3:25 pm**

Elliot checks the shack for any kind of alarm system. If not he will try the door, if locked he'll try and break in.

Posted: **Tue Aug 05, 2014 3:19 am**

There was no indication of any alarm system. The front door was locked.

Posted: **Tue Aug 05, 2014 4:05 am**

Posted: **Tue Aug 05, 2014 5:06 am**

The lock disengaged with a "snick," and the door opened to reveal the store's darkened interior.

Posted: **Tue Aug 05, 2014 5:29 am**

Elliot slips inside, shuts the door and waits for his eyes to adjust to the darkness around him.

Posted: **Wed Aug 06, 2014 5:41 am**

The main room of the store looked much the same as Elliot had left it, though with a few added bullet holes in the walls.

Posted: **Wed Aug 06, 2014 5:48 pm**

Posted: **Thu Aug 07, 2014 5:09 am**

Elliot heard faint snoring coming from somewhere beyond the door at the back.

Posted: **Thu Aug 07, 2014 7:35 pm**

Elliot curses to himself. "I can't catch a break." He sits as still as he can listening to the sound of the breathing. Knowing he can't fall asleep here, he sits for about 15 minutes enjoying the slight break, but not daring to even close his eyes for fear of falling asleep.
.
After he feels he has had enough of a break he slips back out the door and heads up towards the Inn trying to stay out of sight of any prying eyes. .
Having successfully snuck around, he looks over the cars for one he might can hotwire.

Posted: **Fri Aug 08, 2014 4:58 am**

Elliot returned to the car park outside the inn. There were several cars there, any of which he might be able to get inside, but hotwiring a vehicle was harder than it looked on the telly.

Posted: **Fri Aug 08, 2014 5:07 pm**

Elliot finds an older car that probably won't have an alarm. Checks inside for any flashing lights indicating an active alarm.
.
He gets ready to run in case an alarm goes off, he then tries a handle. If an alarm goes off, he will head for the bushes to hide before anyone can get out of the Inn.

If it doesn't go off, he will attempt to pick the lock of the door didn't open. Having successfully picked the lock, he will open the door, slip in and shut it as fast as possible.
.
Once inside with the light off, he breathes a sigh of relief. Now if he can only get the car started. He looks at the wiring to try to hotwire it.
. .
"Hmmm, I have to learn to do that someday." Elliot says to himself.
So he tries to pick the lock.

Posted: **Sat Aug 09, 2014 3:58 am**

Elliot found an old green Volkswagen Beetle that had no alarm. He easily got the driver's door open and slipped behind the wheel, and he was able to do the same to the ignition lock and get the car started. The engine purred to life.

Posted: **Sat Aug 09, 2014 4:24 am**

Elliot pulls the beetle out of the parking lot and heads towards the road before turning on the lights. Then cruises towards the mansion he was at before, trying to follow the same roads he did earlier today. He is mainly looking for the Model T or other cars, or even that blue box the weird group described.

Posted: **Sat Aug 09, 2014 5:14 am**

Elliot flicked on the high beams, the only way he could possibly see where he was going in this fog, and headed southwest down Monastery Hill. There were no other cars on the road, and no sign of the blue box. He drove past the ruins and Virgil's cottage and soon reached the turnoff to the mansion.

Posted: **Sun Aug 10, 2014 4:24 pm**

Elliot checks his gas to make sure he isn't going to run out anytime soon and takes the turnoff towards the mansion.

Posted: **Mon Aug 11, 2014 4:43 am**

Elliot turned right and quickly had to stop, as the gate leading onto the property was closed. The small wooden shack just past it and to the right had a light on in the window.

Posted: **Mon Aug 11, 2014 3:03 pm**

Posted: **Tue Aug 12, 2014 3:12 am**

The tank had enough fuel to get about halfway to London from here, but there would surely be petrol stations along the way - as long as he didn't get too badly lost.

Posted: **Tue Aug 12, 2014 5:22 am**

Elliot pulls the car back out of the drive and back onto the road. He drives down to where he scaled the wall earlier. He parks the car, turns out the lights but leaves it running.
.
He sits and waits, for a while watching to see if anyone followed him. If no one comes after 5 mins, he shuts the car off and attempts to scale the wall and into the compound.
.
IF, someone does seem to come out of the drive and head in his direction he will take off and drive out of town.

Posted: **Wed Aug 13, 2014 4:34 am**

There was no traffic on the road at all while Elliot waited. With the fog shrouding everything and the lateness of the hour (what time was it, anyway?), that was not surprising. Elliot got out of the car and approached the wall.

Posted: **Wed Aug 13, 2014 5:20 am**

.
Elliot easily scales the fence and takes a look around. In particular looking for the missing cars.

Posted: **Thu Aug 14, 2014 5:22 am**

It was hard to see through the darkness and mists, but Elliot couldn't see anything different about this stretch of the manor's grounds. There were no cars outside that he could see, though the carriage house barely visible through the fog seemed an obvious place for them to be.

Posted: **Thu Aug 14, 2014 11:37 pm**

Elliot makes his way over to the garage looking for the cars, if he doesn't seem there, he will check the main drive.

Posted: **Fri Aug 15, 2014 4:32 am**

As Elliot approached the carriage house, he could see that it was darkened. There was no sign of anyone inside, and the doors were locked.

Posted: **Fri Aug 15, 2014 5:01 am**

Elliot knocks lightly on the door. Just enough to set off any dogs inside. If he doesn't hear any barking, he tries the lock.
. .
Elliot feels the lock click in his hand and removes it. He slips into the garage through the door. He feels around through the thin light till he finds a car and opens the door to allow some light into the room. He looks to see if his companions car is in here.

Posted: **Fri Aug 15, 2014 5:26 am**

There was no response to Elliot's knock, and he unlocked the small door through which people (or fishmen) could walk as quickly as if he were using the key. There was also a larger door, which when opened would allow cars to go in and out. The first car Elliot found was the Rolls-Royce that had followed them after he had rescued Dr. Kirby. There was also another car-shaped object underneath a tarp parked beside it.

Posted: **Fri Aug 15, 2014 6:10 am**

He checks under the tarp.

Posted: **Sat Aug 16, 2014 3:50 am**

Lifting the tarp, Elliot could see that the car was a late model Toyota. There was no sign of either the Model T or the Land Rover.

Posted: **Sat Aug 16, 2014 4:49 am**

Elliot checks both cars for keys while he is here.

Posted: **Sat Aug 16, 2014 5:08 am**

Elliot didn't find any keys in either car. He realized that the Toyota was probably Dr. Kirby's car, which would explain why it had been hidden. Now that he thought about it, getting out of town and calling in to UNIT seemed like an excellent idea. The opposition had been alerted to him, and sticking around only put him in greater danger. His teammates had likely already fled, and if they were still here he might be of greater help to them by alerting UNIT than by rushing in on his own, especially since he was badly injured and barely conscious as it was.

Posted: **Sat Aug 16, 2014 5:45 am**

Elliot is going to sneak back out, over the wall and back to the VW. He will pick the lock again until he gets it started and then drive to the next town and call into UNIT to give an update and see if the others have checked in.

Posted: **Sat Aug 16, 2014 4:34 pm**

Posted: **Sat Aug 16, 2014 10:02 pm**

Elliot easily scales the fence, and drives out of town. A weight lifts off him as he leaves Dunwich. He had been checking the rear view mirror looking for anyone following him, but after a while he knew he had a clean get away. As some of the stress and adrenaline left his body, he found his eyelids hard to hold open as he drove.
.
He eventually came upon a small store opening for the morning, and calls UNIT from there.

Posted: **Sat Aug 16, 2014 10:20 pm**

Elliot got back in the VW and drove off to the southwest, away from Dunwich. He soon reached an intersection with another road that went north and southwest. He had been here before, after rescuing Dr. Kirby. The north road led back to Dunwich, he recalled. He didn't know where the southwest road led.

Posted: **Sat Aug 16, 2014 11:04 pm**

Elliot takes the road he hadn't gone down before and heads that way.

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 12:13 am**

Past the intersection was a dirt track heading south towards a few fenced-off, isolated buildings, and the paved road continued southwest around an S-curve. It then intersected with another dirt road that headed east, while the paved road continued west. More buildings were visible in both directions. Another dirt track headed south off of the dirt road to the east, leading to still more buildings. There was no way to tell what the buildings were at a glance, however. To the south, west, and east, woods started to surround the roads. There was still fog in the area, but it wasn't as thick as it had been farther north.

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 1:50 am**

Elliot stays on the paved road and heads west.

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 2:11 am**

Elliot drove on, past a couple of short roads that split off in either direction and quickly ended. The road he was on went through the woods. A short while later, he came to an intersection with another paved road going left.

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 4:58 am**

Elliot turns left onto the paved road going South.

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 5:25 am**

The road continued along the edge of the forest, which was on the left. After a little while, the fog finally thinned out. This was now a rural area, with farms on the right, and occasionally on the left where the woods had been cleared. Eventually, another, narrower road branched off to the left while the current road continued onwards.

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 5:56 am**

Elliot continues on.

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 5:17 pm**

Elliot drove south a short distance before another paved road split off to the left. This one started out wide but quickly narrowed. A small inn was on the right side of that road. The road he was on also continued.

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 7:01 pm**

Elliot pulls into the inn. Before shutting off the engine he checks to see if there are any signs on the inn about the city of Dunwich.
He also checks his gas, and how many miles he has traveled so far.

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 7:15 pm**

Elliot saw that the sign read "The Cliff House Inn," and it had no mention of Dunwich on it. There were lights on in the lobby. Checking the gauge, he saw that he had used much less than a liter of petrol and had only gone a few miles so far.

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 8:39 pm**

Elliot leaves the car running, and goes into the inn. He looks closely at anyone he sees. If he sees any deep ones, he will run for the car.

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 8:49 pm**

The only person in the lobby was a pretty young woman with black hair behind the desk who showed no signs of having the Dunwich look. "Welcome to the Cliff House Inn," she said with a ready smile, then gasped when she saw the state Elliot was in. "Oh my goodness! Do you need me to call a doctor?"

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 10:37 pm**

"No, but if you have a phone, I'd like to use it, please." Elliot says.

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 10:44 pm**

"Of course, sir," said the receptionist. She slid a telephone across the counter to Elliot. "Do you need a room for the night?"

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 10:48 pm**

"I don't think so, but thank you." Elliot calls UNIT and requests for immediate extraction.

Posted: **Sun Aug 17, 2014 11:11 pm**

The operator placed a trunk call for Elliot to UNIT HQ in London, and soon he was put through to Brigadier Crichton. "It's good to hear from you," he said. "We'd feared you were lost. Where are you?"

Posted: **Mon Aug 18, 2014 12:51 am**

"I'm at the Cliff House Inn," Then to the girl behind the counter. "What road are we on, please?" Elliot asks.

Posted: **Mon Aug 18, 2014 1:18 am**

"We're on the Minsmere Road," said the receptionist helpfully. "About halfway between Dunwich and Minsmere."

"I can have someone come pick you up there," the Brigadier said when Elliot had passed this on to him. "They'll probably get there around dawn, maybe a little before."

Posted: **Mon Aug 18, 2014 1:36 am**

"Thank you, I'll wait here." Elliot hangs up the phone, "I'll take that room, I just need to take care of something first."

Elliot goes out to the car and pulls it around to the back of the Inn so its not visible from the road. Then he turns it off and goes back into the Inn

Posted: **Mon Aug 18, 2014 1:51 am**

"All right," said the desk clerk when Elliot returned. "How would you like to pay for the room? Cash or credit card?"

Elliot realized that he did not have the team's credit card; Tobias had been carrying it. What change he had in his pocket wouldn't be enough to cover it.

Posted: **Mon Aug 18, 2014 2:09 am**

"Miss, as you can see I've had a bit of an accident, and have no way to pay for a room, but the people coming to pick me up will pay for the room." Elliot gives her his best smile, "Can you help out a guy in need?"

Posted: **Mon Aug 18, 2014 2:17 am**

Posted: **Mon Aug 18, 2014 3:04 am**

Posted: **Mon Aug 18, 2014 3:19 am**

The woman gave Elliot a sad smile. "I really wish I could," she said, "but it's against the inn's policy. It's more than my job's worth."

Posted: **Mon Aug 18, 2014 3:56 am**

Elliot comes up with a brilliant idea.

Posted: **Mon Aug 18, 2014 4:07 am**

Elliot realized that if he called UNIT back, he could have the Brigadier talk to her and try to convince her that he could guarantee payment, though it might require blowing his cover.

Posted: **Mon Aug 18, 2014 4:53 am**

"Well miss, if I call my company back,I'm sure they can guarantee payment for me." Elliot says.

"I shouldn't even be doing this," she said, "but all right." She allowed Elliot to place another call to UNIT HQ and then listened to the Brigadier when he spoke. After a little, she began to frown. "Sir, I don't know you from Adam," she said. "You could be anyone on the telephone. It doesn't matter who you say you are. Without cash or a valid credit card, your friend can't stay here." Her eyes flashed with anger. "National emergency my arse! Pull the other one, it's got bells on!" She slammed the receiver down onto the phone's cradle.

Elliot looks dumbfounded, "What the hell did they say to you, whatever it was, I am sorry." Elliot is backing away from the now irate woman. "Listen, I don't need anymore trouble, I'll just be on my way miss."

"Oh, I'm not mad at you," she said, calmer now. "It's just your friend and his ridiculous story. You shouldn't just hit the road in your condition. Are you sure you don't want me to call a doctor?"

"No, that would be breaking protocol, I'll get good medical care when my friends come. Maybe I can just sit in the lobby here till they come? What time is it? He said they could make it by dawn." Elliot tries a little more fast talking.

"It's half midnight," said the woman. "Yes, you can wait in the lobby. You shouldn't be driving like that. You took enough of a chance coming here. That bump on your head looks nasty, and you might have a concussion. How did you get hurt?"

"I'm going to go relax over here, I might doze off. If anyone else pulls in, please wake me before they come in." Elliot smiles and looks for the most comfortable chair to collapse into.

Elliot stretched out in a large, soft armchair in the lobby and soon drifted off to sleep.

Elliot drifts off soundly, and doesn't hear a sound.

Exhaustion overtook Elliot, and he slept as soundly as he ever had. He could have slept through an earthquake. He was only shaken awake when the police sergeant grabbed him roughly - and even then it was more his awful smell that brought him around. The other two constables were on either side, surrounding him.
