Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Although physically a lot better than he was, Andre has taken on a glassy-eyed, thousand yard stare and repeats the same chant over and over again.
"Hakuu gatha thsathun - Hakuu gatha thsathun. Hakuu gatha thsathun - Hakuu gatha thsathun. Hakuu gatha thsathun - Hakuu gatha thsathun."
At one point he becomes somewhat agitated and the chant becomes louder, but this passes after a minute or two and he reverts to his almost catatonic state once more.
"Hakuu gatha thsathun - Hakuu gatha thsathun. Hakuu gatha thsathun - Hakuu gatha thsathun. Hakuu gatha thsathun - Hakuu gatha thsathun."

"We almost killed it too," says Jacques. "That is why it fled. It has been a long time since I last fired a gun in anger, but I have not forgotten how. We can track it down and finish it off, especially since we can follow the trail of its blood. We know it went into that building."

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
OOC: So, are you running after the creature? All of you or just Jacques and Francois? Keep in mind that with Andre as he is, he might slow you down |

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
OOC: I seriously doubt that Andre is in any condition to pursue the creature - however he will follow as best he may given his near-catatonic state |

Francois looks around at the others. Perhaps now is not the right time to rush off after the beast, perhaps it would also be wise to have something with a bit more heft than these pistols before we bait the creature in its lair?
Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
"We're not going to find a stray rifle laying about," says Jacques. "Our soldiers cleaned out all the weapons from here, and if we leave this place, it will escape for certain. It is almost dead. While it is true that it makes it more dangerous, it should also be less difficult to kill. It should be dead already. A man would have been, but that was no man..."

"If it leaves a trail like that" says Francois pointing at a splash of blood on the road "Then I will have no difficulty following its trail, whether now, this afternoon, tomorrow or next week. The saying "Do not rush to hunt a bear in its cave, or a boar in its cover is a phrase which has held me well these long years in the chasse. Even so, if we go after it now, who will care for Andre? If we split up who is to say other creatures will not come and kill us in detail.
Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Jacques stops, nodding. "Perhaps discretion is the better part of valor," he says. "We have seen what we were supposed to see here, and we do have wounded men. I do not think there is any reason for us to return here - or for anyone, for that matter. Let us leave Verchanne to the dead. It is theirs now. I have an appointment with General Gallieni when we return to Paris, and then one with Madeleine Morvan."

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
You leave behind the dead Verchanne and drive back to Paris. The soldiers at the checkpoint watch you go without a comment, their expression unreadable behind the gas masks. Andre seems to get better the more you get away from Verchanne, stopping his senseless mumbling as his eyes get back into focus. By the time you enter Paris, he seems to have recovered a somewhat stable state of mind.
OOC: So, I guess Jacques will head directly to speak with General Gallieni. Do you want to accompany him, or is there something else you would like to do? |
Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
OOC: Roughly what time is it by the time we get back to Paris? |
I am tempted to go back to my 'apartamente' and get one of my long guns and then stake out the accommodation of Miss Morvan says Francois he pauses for a moment. It might be better if we don't all turn up with Jaques, interview with the General, only one of us is a Gendarme after all
Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
"A good idea," says Jacques. "While I trust the men guarding her, some extra protection couldn't hurt. Just make sure you make them aware of your presence, lest they spot you and mistake you for an enemy."

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
OOC: You can reach Paris shortly before lunchtime. |
Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
"One other thing I should add" says Francois "the tracks the creature left, I found similar ones in the garden at the house on the night of the murder, whatever it is there are more like it in Paris."
Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
"Thank you, that is useful to know," says Jacques. "One or more of them must have killed Monsieur Dupont and left his body where we found it. They could easily have ripped off his head."

"If there are more of these things out there - we must have means to protect ourselves. We almost died!" says Jean-Luc with a frantic voice. "This thing looks like it could take a whole battalion, and it looks like it just did." He suddenly feels naked without a gun.
Just a cultist.
Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
"I'll see what I can do to requisition some weapons for us," says Jacques, "and perhaps some soldiers to go with them."

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
OOC: So, I'm waiting for Cearlan to come back before we move things on. Anyway, are we proceeding with: - Jacques goes to meet General Gallieni - The other three head back to their homes to rest and prepare Then you all meet again at the place where Madeleine is hiding. Does it work for you? |

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Andre looks around him with a bewildered look on his face.
"Wha... what happened here. How did we end up in what I can only assume is a kind of living, terrible event. Surely such things cannot be." He grimaces as a lance of pain shoots through his mangled arm.
