[IC - SCENE 7] The Hunting Lodge
The hunting lodge where you decided to hide Madeleine is a few chilometers south of Paris. Jacques gets there first, followed shortly after by the other three. The lodge is an old wooden building, on two floors, capable of hosting comfortably half a dozen people. It's lost in the beautiful countryside, not far from a little blue lake, and for the first time in a while, war seems a far away problem.
There are three gendarme guarding Madeleine. They report that nothing unusual has happened, and the prisoner has not tried anything suspicious. You find her in a bedroom on the second floor, with windows barred from the outside, and a guard at her door. She doesn't seem particularly worried by her situation, though, and smiles as she sees you.
"Good evening, gentlemen. You probably did not have a fine time in Verchanne, but I trust it must have been an instructive experience"

"You might very well say that, Madame," says Jacques with a wry expression. "We have seen what you wanted us to see there. Two of my friends bear its wounds, as you can see. I shot it three times, twice in vital spots, and still it survived and escaped."

Francois doesn't enter. He introduces himself to the Gendarmes guarding it then does a circuit of the grounds looking to see if he can find any suspicious tracks, once satisfied he moves away from the house and finds himself somewhere with good sightlines all around but especially towards the house.

"You... fought... it? What?", she seems surprised for a second, then she exclaims: "Oh! Oh God... you met a ghoul, didn't you? Nothing else would walk in Verchanne these days, but I hadn't thought...". She stops for a second, then adds: "I'm sorry, I didn't want to put you in danger. But you had to see, what we did there... the reason why it must never be done again".
Re: [IC - SCENE 7] The Hunting Lodge
"It's called a ghoul?" says Jacques. "Does that mean it...eats the dead? I can see why it would be drawn to Verchanne, for there were plenty of dead there. We saw them as well, and I do understand why the weapon should never be used again, as I'm sure Monsieur Dupont must have when he saw its effects.

Re: [IC - SCENE 7] The Hunting Lodge
"I'm glad we can agree on this. That's why we chose to hide the book. In a safe place, where no one will find it. But only if I manage to disappear. Or else...", she stops for a few seconds then continues, wearing a tired expression on her face: "Or else you can kill me. That would work, too".
Re: [IC - SCENE 7] The Hunting Lodge
"I will not kill you" says Jacques. "I can't let you go, either. I take it this book has the instructions for manufacturing the weapon. I'm glad you were the one who removed it and put it somewhere safe. I had been worried that the Germans had gotten their hands on it. If you tell us where you've hidden it, we can go take care of it."

Madeleine nods weakly: "Very well. But there will be sacrifices to make, and before we are done, you'll regret making this choice. I'll ask you one more time... are you truly sure?"
Re: [IC - SCENE 7] The Hunting Lodge
"I can speak only for myself," says Jacques, nodding, "but I would not be much of a gentleman if I allowed you to pay the price instead of me. Just having been to Verchanne means Death has already marked me. Most of my life is behind me, and most of yours is still ahead."

Re: [IC - SCENE 7] The Hunting Lodge
"Then, we need to return to Paris and...", she can't finish her sentence as you hear a gunshot coming from outside, and then more coming from outside and from the lower floor.
OOC: Each of you can take action now. Most of the group is with Madeleine on a bedroom in the second floor, while Francois is outside. |
Re: [IC - SCENE 7] The Hunting Lodge
"Stay away from the windows, Madame!" calls Jacques, drawing his pistol and ignoring his own advice. He moves to the nearest window from the side and carefully peeks out, ready to open the window and return fire if necessary.

Re: [IC - SCENE 7] The Hunting Lodge
Francois wonders whether his prey has identified his firing point if they have he'll slip out of his hide and moves to another position, otherwise he'll draw a bead on another one of the beasts and shoot it.

Jean-Luc moves to the wall while trying to struggling prepare his old pistol.

Re: [IC - SCENE 7] The Hunting Lodge
Madeleine follows your advice and crouches next to the bed, while you run to the window. There are several men outside, dressed in black robes, not unlike those of medieval monks. Their faces are covered by hoods, and they carry firearms. They are scattering around and firing towards the house, where the gendarmes are firing back.
Re: [IC - SCENE 7] The Hunting Lodge
Jacques is relieved that it is not ghouls attacking. Men with guns he can understand and handle. Leaning around the edge of the window frame to maximize his cover, he takes a shot at one of the armed robed men.

Re: [IC - SCENE 7] The Hunting Lodge
Jacques takes aim and fires, hitting one of the hooded men in the chest and sending him to the ground. One more is hit from the bullets fired by the gendarmes on the lower floor. The assailants are now in the open, and under heavy fire, but they do not seem willing to retreat, and start firing back. A couple of bullets fly near Jacques, and one manages to scratch his shoulder.
Re: [IC - SCENE 7] The Hunting Lodge
Jean-Luc leans over to see a bit more and tries to fire from his old, unused pistol hoping that it won't kill him in the process.

Re: [IC - SCENE 7] The Hunting Lodge
Jacques is shaken by the wound. While it is not that serious, it has been a long time since he has been wounded in combat, and he had not been expecting it. He tries to take another shot at one of the attackers.
