IC: Ch. 9a: The Great Escape (Eddie, Alyssa, Aunt Loosa)

[BenTheRat]

The last of the people you rescued, looks down at Norman, and Eddie. "I think I can help."
He kneels down and tries 1st aid on the two.

Norman,1st aid [dice]0[/dice]

Eddie,1st aid [dice]1[/dice]

Talk about some awesomeness First aid. He seems rather proud of himself working in the sewer with little to work with.

Norman,get back [dice]2[/dice]

Eddie,get back [dice]3[/dice]

he then checks his friend that has the sword sticking up out of him, his eyes wide open. "This one is dead."

he then goes over to Phil, "same here."

Norman and Eddie will be waking up about now. But still groggy despite the outstanding medical attention they received.

Alyssa,you can make a navigation roll

[Mr. Handy]

Eddie slowly comes to his senses. He is still in pain, but is in surprisingly good shape considering he has just been run through. He had expected to be dead after that. "Alyssa..." he croaks.

[Tabs]

Alyssa Navigate 10% [dice]0[/dice]

She hasn't a clue of the way to the Colonel's.

To Robin: "Right, I'll try something else--you stay hidden."

She runs up to the officer.

"Message from Phil..."

[BenTheRat]

Alyssa,The deputy looks up from lighting his cigarette as you appoach. A curious look comes across his face. A small town like Rockport he knows about everyone, but you are not familiar. After you say "Phil needs him." A look of doubt crosses his face. "Who exactly are you? Why wouldn't Phil send someone I know?" the deputy asks. make either a persuasion or fast talk role. If you roleplay it well I'll give you +10%

[Silver Priest]

This is the second time Norman has fallen unconscious from pain in the last night, and he cannot say he finds himself a fan of it. Still, it was pleasantly surprising to find himself still alive.

"Owww," he mumbles finding his feet and unsteadily rising to them. "We won? Oh my. How unexpected. Is everyone alright?" He sees all the bodies and turns white as a sheet."On our side, anyway."

Richard attempts to grab Phil's body to take with them, in order to prevent him being resurrected like the Reverend had been.

Spoiler:

Sorry for rping two characters at once. I'm fine with giving back control of Richard now if needed. I'll go back to Norman full time.

[Mr. Handy]

Eddie drags himself to his feet and retrieves and reloads his revolver, then picks up a fallen sword. "I'll live, but we need to get out of here, fast," he says. "Alyssa went down the tunnel leading back towards the church, so we should head that way. Just watch out for the spikes. Thank you for saving us. I thought we were done for."

[BenTheRat]

Everyone gets their gear and while Eddie and Norman are still a little weak, with help they can make their way down the tunnel dragging Phil's body behind. A pile of bodies from the dead cultists and the one person you rescued still lying in the tunnel.

You get to the end of the tunnel and the ladder leads up. There is also 2 other tunnels leading away as well as the one you came down. And the secret door that leads to the Colonels house.

Currently in the group:
Aunt Loosa, Richard, Eddie, Norman and the rescued victim carrying a sword and handy with a med kit.

Up top:
Alyssa, Robin

OOC: I do not have a problem with you guys playing multiple characters. I keep hoping Richard will return.

[Silver Priest]

Norman grabs a sword as he's leaving.

Richard meanwhile quickly sees that dragging Phil's body with them is likely to attract attention and distract him from fighting if anymore cultists show up. He looks to Norman. "Hey Norman, hand me your sword, will you?"

Norman does so, and Richard instead tries to cut Phil's head off. "He can't become a fish without his head!" He laughs unsteadily. Once done, he returns the sword to Norman, who looks queasy.

"Which way did our friends go?" says Norman. "I'd hate for them to be lost within these dark tunnels. Especially Alyssa."

Spoiler:

Please let me know if I need to make any rolls to cut off the head or SAN rolls.

"I'm new--to the cult," said Alyssa. "There's some kinda problem, what it is? I don't know. But he needs a bit of muscle." She smiled attractively.

[Mr. Handy]

"Yes, we have to find her," says Eddie. He looks around for signs of her recent passage. "We were heading to the church to get our cars back, so she might have fled that way, but it's also possible she went back to the Colonel's."

[BenTheRat]

OOC:   No real skill in hacking off someones head, though it does take a few whacks. Everyone besides Richard in the tunnel will need to roll a Sanity 1/1d3 check for seeing Richard mutilate someone's body. Richard, you need to take a sanity 1/ 1d6 check for cutting off his head.

[Silver Priest]

OOC:   Sorry Everyone

Spoiler:

Richard [dice]0[/dice] Fail

[dice]1[/dice]

Norman [dice]2[/dice] Pass

[dice]3[/dice]

"My word!" Says Norman. "Mr. Rahl, what are you doing?"

"The Reverend came back. Without the head, Phil can't be a fish." His eyes are that of a zealot.

[Mr. Handy]

Eddie looks away in disgust, but he isn't too badly shaken.

OOC,Sanity roll (current level 50) for seeing the beheading: [dice]0[/dice] Sanity loss for seeing the beheading: [dice]1[/dice]

[BenTheRat]

Alyssa,The deputy looks at you funny, but he seems to buy your story. He grabs you by the arm, you better come with me sweetheart. grapple roll[dice]0[/dice]

NPC Sanity with you:
[dice]1[/dice][dice]2[/dice]

Aunt Loosa's Sanity
[dice]3[/dice][dice]4[/dice]

So where are you heading?

[Mr. Handy]

"I can't tell which way she went," says Eddie. "If she went to the Colonel's, she'll be safe enough there for now. But if she went up the ladder to the church, she could be in danger. We need to go that way, just in case." He starts climbing the ladder.

[Silver Priest]

Norman follows. "Indeed. But if we don't see her up there, I think we should perhaps come back and try the other path. I hate to think Alyssa is lost and alone, thinking us all dead, or worse."

Richard makes to follow as well, but looks at Aunt Loosa. "Will you be able to climb up after us?" As far as he's concerned the woman saved them all, and he's grown protective of her.

[Tabs]

The Grapple roll, was that a success?

"No need to grab me," said Alyssa. "I'm comin'!" She pointed at the church, "This way."

Did she spy the car's keys?

[BenTheRat]

OOC: Sorry, he missed the grapple roll.

The deputy reached for Alyssa, but you easily pulled away and started walking for the church. You didn't see the keys to his patrol car. As you get closer you don't see Robin anywhere.

********************
Richard as you finish climbing the ladder up an into the basement you see the young woman you rescued running down the stairs. When she sees you she almost falls down, "oh thank God it's you. Alyssa is in trouble."

[Mr. Handy]

Eddie's heart catches in his throat. "Where is she?" he asks, already running for the stairs, drawing his revolver and sword.

[BenTheRat]

"The deputy has her," she says as you run past.

OOC: who was next up the ladder? Norman or Richard?

Eddie bounds up the steps and sees the open door as you look out you see Alyssa just 10' away from you and the Deputy right behind her.
A look of recognition comes over the deputy's face. He starts to reach for his pistol....
