Chapter 8: The Ceremony

Arkham, Massachusetts, 1928. The last dying plea of an old friend and mentor leads to an encounter with a horror beyond description. Unwittingly released into the world nearly fifty years before, it is now time to finally confront the mistakes of the past. But it will come at great cost...

Thanks to her prompt attention, Alice's wound is not serious, although it may leave a nasty scar. Balzac dresses it and they are able to continue.

Shortly thereafter the sounds and the smells cease, and the companions are able to chant in relative peace, although some faint snorts and snuffles can still be heard. They are able to maintain a rhythm now, having regular breaks, although it is exhausting work, and they are becoming very tired.

The time is now about 1.30 am, and their spirits are beginning to rise as the end may be in sight…
OOC,Chanters lose another 2 magic points. Everyone roll Listen.

Balzac nods to Alice. "Mlle. Alice, you treated that injury very well, I commend your abilities."

Intent on their chanting, the heroes are suddenly startled by a rapping at the door, and a woman’s cry of “Help!”

Balzac leaps up. "Merde! What now? Keep going, I will see to this."

Shotgun over his arm, he goes to the door. "Who is it?"

Clutching his shotgun and a flashlight, Balzac goes to the door.
OOC,Can he see through any windows who's outside?

Balzac shines the flashlight through a window beside the door, angling the beam toward the area directly in front of the door, and peers through to see who is calling for help.

Balzac,Balzac can see what appears to be a woman of medium build. Her clothes appear to be dirty and in disarray and her hair is tangled and matted. She has large, dark stains on her chest and face. She turns towards the light and repeats [color=#FF8040]"Please, help me!"[/color] [ooc]Balzac can roll Spot Hidden[/ooc]

Henry Glynn

Henry keeps up his chant. He wonders who or what is at the door and whether Balzac will let them in.

Balzac calls through the door, "Madame, what has happened? Are you hurt?" He does not yet open the door, however.
OOC,Through the window, [b]Balzac[/b] shines his flashlight on the dark stain on the woman's chest, trying to see what it is.
