IC Ch 7: 224 School Street

[Mr. Handy]

"Back to the Woods House, in our cars," says Eddie. "They'll know where to find the doctor's clinic, and I wouldn't want to trust anyone else. I don't even know if we can trust the doctor, or if he's really taking them where he said he would. I do know he was going in the opposite direction from this house, the same way from which the police were coming."

[Medri]

Charles looks from Eddie to Norman again. "To the Woods House then! Quick. I agree that it seems like the only real choice at this point."

[Silver Priest]

"Indeed. Let's get out of here," Norman says, still a bit shaken by the grizzly scene.

"The man drew an arrow in his own blood that led to a cabinet in the kitchen, but we were not able to find anything. And he mouthed' get them' before he died. I wonder what he meant."

[Mr. Handy]

"It must be important if he used his last breath to do it," says Eddie. "Where's the cabinet? Let me have a look before we go."

[BenTheRat]

As the 3 of you go into the kitchen, you can still clearly see the arrow in the blood pointing at the cabinet that has been searched through.

OOC,All 3 of you may make a spot hidden check.

[Mr. Handy]

Eddie searches the cabinet, careful not to get his fingerprints on the contents, but he can't quite find anything, as he isn't sure what he is seeking.

OOC,Spot Hidden roll (55% skill) searching the cabinet: [dice]0[/dice]

[Silver Priest]

Spoiler:

[dice]0[/dice] Spot Hidden 45

[BenTheRat]

As the 3 of you are searching around the cabinet Eddie notices a small panel under the cabinet that was knocked loose during all the searching.

OOC,yes I know you missed by 2, there was a 10% bonus because of the small area to search, knowing there is something there to see and its the 2nd time its been searched

[Mr. Handy]

"There's a hidden compartment here, behind this panel," says Eddie. Using a napkin to keep from getting any fingerprints on anything, he opens the panel fully and looks inside,

[BenTheRat]

As you press on the panel it slides out and you see a small notebook inside. You can hear the sirens down at the theater now.

[Mr. Handy]

Eddie snatches up the notebook and elbows the cabinet door shut. "We got what we needed," he says, already running for the front door and his car. "Let's get out of here!"

[BenTheRat]

As you run out the front door, you see the police car down at the end of the street, but your car is not out front.

[Mr. Handy]

Eddie spins around, remembering that Aunt Loosa said she would bring the car around back, and heads through the house to the back door.

[BenTheRat]

As you run out the back door you see Aunt Loosa there with the car, the engine still running. "Let's get going now boys."

[Mr. Handy]

Eddie hurries for his car. "I'll drive," he says.

[BenTheRat]

Aunt Loosa slides over and lets Eddie take the wheel.

[Mr. Handy]

Eddie slides behind the wheel. Once everyone is aboard, he pulls out and heads for the Woods House.

[BenTheRat]

You get to the house ok, the cool night air blowing in through the windows. "What happened in there?" Aunt Loosa asked.

[Mr. Handy]

"The man we came to meet was being murdered by two guys when we arrived, with the knife I'm carrying," explains Eddie. "I wounded one of them as they fled, and we chased them down the street. We caught the wounded one, who tried to kill himself with the knife, but Richard shot him in the arm and he dropped it. Then I was able to handcuff him and keep him alive. The other one fled into a nearby church. A crowd of people gathered, including a doctor and his wife. They put the man in their car to take him to the doctor's clinic, and Richard got in with them, but they drove off without me. I had to get back to the house because the police were coming. Now we need to find out where the clinic is - if that's even where they really went. We can't really trust people in this town."

[Papa Gateau]

Oh my, I was so worried when I heard all that shooting, at least none of us is hurt. she turns to Eddie You're right, we need to find that clinic, Richard could be in danger.

Wake the cook, she seems to know what's going on in town, let's see if she knows where the clinic is.

I need to go to my room.

Ben,[b]Aunt Loosa[/b] will try a seance to locate the whereabouts of [b]Richard[/b]. I don't know her current magic points but today she has already done 1 seance and made 2 charms = min of (2d3 [charms] + 2[seance]) magic spent maybe more as we didn't play out the earlier seance so I don't know how many questions were asked (1 point/question). Do you want to run the seance via PM or shall we do it via Spoiler-buttons?
