Tobias also expressed no desires to chase after the professor.

"He's heading back to the obelisk I know. That thing has him so twisted right now." Joe grabs the key. "I have to go help him."

Tobias had been nodding along uncertainly, but this sentence woke with a start. The last thing he needs right now would be a manic professor armed with some nameless knowledge. He made a start for his car and tried to see if he could still catch up the not-so-good professor.

“We’ll all go with you Joe” says Maria, watching Tobias depart. “We’ll help him but you can’t let him have that key. We must keep it away from him. Do you agree?”
She fixes Joe with a steady gaze.

"Agreed, but if he changes into a hound without the key, he can't change back, it will drive him mad. With the key we can force him to change back. Let's go." Joe said.
Lucy grabs him, "Be careful." He gives her a quick kiss. "I will."
He starts to run out the front.
Tobias ran out jumped into his car and shoved it into forward instead of reverse. His car surged forward and slammed into the granite corner stone, smashing the front of the car.

"Nice driving, professor," Bret says, strolling outside. "I'm thinking we should take Eddie's car..."

"Damnit!" Tobias cursed very furiously as his relatively new car ended up trashed. He'll have to arrange to get it fixed. He ranted and brayed about it for a good minute or so before ultimately agreeing with Bret's remark. Ignoring the sarcasm.
He took deep breaths. "...I'll...hitch a ride with Eddie, then." Tobias said, with great difficulty, holding his heart as though just saying these words had left him in severe pain. He spared one parting glance at his car, with tears flowing out of his eyes. "Goodbye, Ol'Bessie. I'll remember and treasure the short time we spent together. I'll be back for you, I promise."

You follow Joe as he drives to a different entrance than the one you stopped at before. Another car is already there.
You pile out of the cars and Joe hands you the key. "If he has changed he can tear you to shreds."
As you hurry down the path the full moon lights up the path and clearing up ahead. You can see movement up ahead. As you break into the clearing the professor is standing by the pillar, his bloody hand has traced most of the pattern on the pillar. "Et tu Joe, you traitor. How can you bring these unbeliever's to our sacred grove. Daoloth will will curse you."

Tobias ran forward and stabbed the professor. He tried to sound menacing and intimidate the professor a little bit.

As you start to cross the 30 feet to the professor he slaps his hand against the pillar and you see him transform into an obsidian hound.
You slam into the hound taking its legs out from under him. The hound is quickly back up on his feet and on top of you. Your knife slides against the stone skin without even leaving a scratch.
OOC: Everyone make a Sanity 1/1d6 check for me. |
OOC: Everyone else can now make an action if you can after the sanity. Tobias you still have to make a Sanity. Sorry, not even Usaine Bolt could have made that run before he slapped his hand, you just forced his hand. Great rolls though. |

Though Tobias could not successfully stop the professor from initiating the ritual, he had, at the very least, managed to temporarily disable the professor for a short while. He turned towards his friends and yelled at them, "Mon dieu! Someone grab a gun and shoot this bastard, he isn't going to cooperate!"
OOC: Alright, but I want to distract him at least to turns. I rolled a crit, I think distracting the damned thing for 2 combat rounds is reasonable. |

Maria
Maria feels real fear for the first time in this affair. The Professor's words show that he may mean them harm, and she wonders what they can do to stop him. Talking to him probably won't do any good now.
"Can we change him back?" she shouts at Joe.

Joe yells at Eddie, "Change him back, change him."
The hound looks over at Eddie, still standing over Tobias. The red glow from his eyes stops on the key, a growl that almost sounds like a word that would be impossible for you to pronounce comes out of its mouth.

OOC: Sorry if that was confusing. Joe grabbed the key before you left from the students. When you got out of your cars, I posted he gave it to someone else, he looked as if maybe he didn't trust himself with it. I was going to leave it to you, as to who had it. When no one spoke up, I "in my head" had Eddie take it as he still has not acted. But anyone can have it, at this point. So someone please speak up and take control of it. |

Tobias continued his struggle against the Hound. “Eddie, please make it quick. I don’t think I can hold this damned thing for any longer!”

The sight is too much for Eddie, and this time it causes him to lose it.

Tobias lost his composure as he saw Eddie lose it.
