Re: The Lurker at the Threshold (ic)
Turn 3 Arkham Encounter
Arkham Asylum
As Carolyn prepares to leave the asylum, she bumps into Nurse Heather, who is holding a hypodermic needle filled with sedatives. The nurse accidentally jabs her in the arm with the syringe.
"Ow!" cries Carolyn, already feeling woozy.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" says Heather. "Here, maybe you'd better lie down."
Carolyn nearly passes out, but somehow she finds the strength to continue and shakes her head. "No, I've got too much to do."

Arkham Asylum->Rivertown streets
Carolyn has felt unsafe ever since her patient was murdered, and she had purchased a Thompson submachine gun for personal defense which she keeps in her large medical bag. She doesn't know how many killers are out there, but she needs to be prepared to take them all on at once if they come after her.
It is lucky for Carolyn that she has it. While strolling through the deserted streets of Rivertown, a man-like creature attacks her from behind. It has rubbery, leathery skin, canine features, fangs, and claws. She nimbly leaps aside and pulls out her Tommy gun, then sprays the thing with a burst of lead. The beast falls, several holes in its body.

The Unnamable -> Hibb's Roadhouse
The woman in a blue suit is knelt on the sidewalk, busy packing a tool into a medical bag, she is startled by Sister Mary's greeting:
"How do you do, I'm Sister Mary." She extends a hand in order to help Carolyn Fern to her feet. It is only now that Sister Mary notices the bullet ridden corpse, she claps her hand over her mouth and screws her eyes shut. "My God, what have you done?"
And yet... Sister Mary realises with a flash of insight that the killing is linked to her own quest; also, perversely, she feels confidence in the "things" death--for she can see that it was a "thing". "Take this, and maybe this?" Sister Mary gives the page torn from the journal which she found on the church steps, and she offers a brandy flask.

Hibb's Roadhouse-
"Aieee!"
Sister Mary places her hand upon her breastbone as if about to choke; she reaches out her other hand to a chair back to steady herself, misses, and falls to the sawdust covered floorboards. Her body appears to evaporate, leaving the Nun's habit steaming: a dishevelled heap; the cross which Sister Mary always carried lies atop the cloth.
Anna Kaslow watches in fascination, unable to quite believe what she is witnessing. She goes over to the bar.
"Gimme a treble vodka."

Rivertown streets->The Witch House
Carolyn's caution proves justified. As she strolls through the streets of French Hill, she sees strange lights and hears frightening noises coming from the reputedly haunted Witch House. Curious, she investigates closer. She approaches the door, which swings open at her touch with an ominous creak. With trepidation, she steps inside and looks around at the dilapidated entry hall. Suddenly, the door slams shut behind her with a loud clap that startles her. She turns and wrestles with the knob, but it refuses to budge.
When she turns around again, a well-dressed man has appeared in the hall as if by magic. "So, little girl," he says with a sneer. "You think you can match your puny talents against the might and power of the Great Old Ones?" He raises his hands, and there is a crackle as shimmering flames seem to surround them.
Terrified, Carolyn backs up against the door and flattens herself against it. "Stay away from me!" she cries.
"You could not save your pathetic patient." The strange man begins to advance. "Nobody could stop me from taking his life...just as nobody can stop me from taking yours!" He points at her, and the fire intensifies.
"NO!" Carolyn pulls out her tommy gun and cuts loose on full auto. The man laughs at first as bullets seem to bounce off of him, but she keeps firing, swinging the barrel back and forth in a deadly arc. Finally, a round pierces through his defenses and makes a hole in his forehead. The fiery aura goes out and he collapses.
"Yig...shall curse you..." croaks the man with his last breaths. "I...go to the Abyss...but I shall take you...with...me..." With that, he expires.

Carolyn blacks out. When she comes to, she finds herself in a stygian labyrinth of smoky caverns. She has no idea which way she should head, so she picks a direction at random and starts running.
