[IC - Mexico City] The Ruins of the Villa

[Mr. Handy]

Holly checks Jonathan for injuries, ready to provide medical care if needed.

Ian Morin

The moment the mouth explodes Ian's legs falter and he falls to the ground, covering his ears in a useless attempt to block the horrors that do not come from outside, but resonates inside his head. "AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH... Oh God... It sees us... no no no... It sees me. It sees me. What... no... We're doomed..." His face is pure terror.

Professor Jonathan Cornwall
Jonathan slumps to the ground, injured, wide-eyed and stunned. The Professor's blasted mind cannot parse the images in his head; his sanity is more broken than his body.

Spoiler:

Stability of -3. Can Holly repair Stability?

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,Yes, I can. I have 2 points of Psychoanalysis left, which will be good for you to recover 4 and get you back up into positive territory. Is there anyone who needs it more? I sure do, but I can't use it on myself.

[Mephistophilis]

Cam stumbles back into the wall. His eyes wide and his breath coming in shallow pants. He stares at his hands dripping in ichor, rubbing them together over and over trying to remove the foul smelling liquid.

OOC,Cam is on -5 stability, he does have some first aid if anyone needs it

[Overlord87]

Elena tries to cheer up Ian, despite looking shocked and utterly exhausted herself: "Don't worry, Ian, it's over... the thing is dead... we blew it up, all right?", while Holly tries to help the others as well as she can.

"Come on, time to leave... there's still a bunch of crazy cultists just a couple dozen meters above our heads... and I'm not sure about you at this point, but I want to live to see my money", says Konovalov, urging you to leave.

Cam and Holly,You can heal the little damage taken by [b]Jonathan[/b] and restore some Stability. I'll use tour points.

Spoiler:

OOC:   Jonathan recovers 3 Health and 2 Stability. Cam recovers 2 Stability.

[Mephistophilis]

Cam straightens up and grits his teeth. 'You're right Elena, it's time to go. We need to find out what's happened to Christopher all this time. I think we should drop Brooks at the police station then get in contact with our employer to pay off Mr Konovalov. Can anyone think of a good cover story for what's just happened here? I'm thinking drug lab explosion'.

[Mr. Handy]

"Sounds good to me," says Holly. "Let's just get out of here. Our expense account will cover your payment once we get back to town, Mr. Konovalov."

[ShyberKryst]

Jonathan Cornwall
"Agreed, let's get out of here. Anyone see any signs of Huang?"

Spoiler:

I have a bunch of first aid points to use on anyone as well. If not,I'll use them on myself.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,I could use some, as I'm down 2 Health. I can use mine on you if I have any left. It's more efficient to use First Aid on each other than on ourselves.

[Overlord87]

As you check Brooks' conditions, you realize that he died during your fight with the huge mouth. The blood loss was probably too much for him to survive. Realizing there's nothing left to do here, you walk back to the surface, keeping your weapons ready. You emerge from the dungeon among the ruins of the old villa. It's still dark outside, and it's hard to believe that less than a couple of hours you walked in there, thinking you were dealing only with a crazy bunch of cultists.

Then there are suddenly lights flashing. You see men in uniform, apparently the local police, surrounding you, aiming their weapons at you and screaming in spanish. Konovalov drops his gun and raises his hands. Then you see Christopher among the agents.

[Mephistophilis]

Cam drops his gun and holds his hands up in the air. He glances over to Konovalov, 'We owe you Konovalov but Christopher might not see it that way so let us do the talking. Everyone stick to the same story, Brooks kidnapped our friends and we were looking for them when he captured us, we managed to escape and in the commotion Brooks got shot and the lab exploded'. He shakes his head, 'I'm not sure I buy it either'.

[Mr. Handy]

Holly also raises her hands, though she no longer has a gun to drop. "I can't think of anything better," she says.

[Overlord87]

The police surrounds you, pointing their guns. Christopher says, with urgency: "Stop, stop! They're my friends! Can't you see they're wounded? Detective Cortez, please!" , he seems to now be talking to a man next to him, dressed in a long coat and wearing a brown hat. The man nods and speaks for a few seconds with one of the policemen, then heads for the entrance to the dungeon, followed by a dozen agents. Another agent walks towards Holly and the others and says, in an uncertain english: "Please, follow me. Hospital.". Meanwhile, Christopher joins you, looking at Konovalov with a mix of surprise and distrust: "You have a long story to share, I guess".

[Mr. Handy]

"He's on our payroll now," explains Holly to Christopher, following along to the hospital. "He realized just how far gone Brooks was."
