OOC,I didn't realize it worked that way, or I'd have split up to go to a new location last turn. In that case, we have even less time to spare than I'd thought, so I'd better go off on my own. At least I'll be able to handle a monster if one pops up on me. I'll have to spend my first action going back to the Main Path and my second going to a new Woods location.

Re: The Devourer Below
Turn 2 Investigator Phase
Daisy follows the men back to the main path, but she soon gets separated from them and is lost in the woods. She finds herself at the base of a cliff. She isn't the world's best climber, but thanks to her flashlight, she is able to reach the top.

Re: The Devourer Below
Skids watched the flashlight's beam as it flicked to and fro amongst the tree trunks. Daisy was some way away and he felt concerned for her safety, all alone in the woods. If he'd realised she was scrambling up a cliff he'd have gone into a decline, but he only marvelled at how useful a flashlight really was...

Investigation Phase 3
Skids cocks his head, listening? "Yeah, let's investigate these twisting paths!"
Action 1: Play Flashlight.
Action 2: Investigate, using Flashlight, Twisting Paths (shroud 3 -2). Intellect 3, Chaos token [dice]0[/dice] (-2); success! 1 clue gained.
Action 3: Investigate, using Flashlight, Twisting Paths (shroud 3 -2). Intellect 3, Chaos token [dice]1[/dice] (elder sign +2 and gain 2 resources); oh yeah! 1 clue gained.
Action 4: Play Machete.
He poked around with the flashlight's beam, and discovered a torn piece of hessian cloth and a pot of red powder--he didn't know what to make of these clues but stowed them in his voluminous pockets anyhow. Leo de Luca handed him a machete, something more at home slicing its way through vine tendrils and other tropical vegetation. "You're gonna need it," said Leo. "I fuckin' hope not," replied Skids, sliding the machete under his belt.

Re: The Devourer Below
Turn 3 Investigator Phase
No sooner has Daisy reached the top of the cliff than one of the hideous canine-featured creatures rushes at her from the woods and slams her to the ground. "HELP!" she screams at the top of her lungs. While she is sure that Skids and his friend will be able to hear her wherever they are, she is equally sure that they will never get to her in time. She struggles with the monster, but she is not strong enough, and it seems to have superhuman strength. Its claws further shred her clothing, and it brings its face close to hers, drool dripping from its jaws as it leers at her. She turns her head aside, clenching her eyes shut, sobbing and shrieking as it nuzzles her neck. Then she feels it hike her skirt and force her legs apart. "NO!" she cries, despair nearly overwhelming her. However, she manages to keep enough of her wits about her to realize that if she is going to get out of this, she will have to use her mind rather than her flagging strength. When it tries to thrust forward, she propels the beast upwards so that it sails over her and off of the edge of the cliff. It lands far below with a crunch.
Still weeping and trembling, Daisy drags herself to her feet and takes a good look around her. Suddenly, everything becomes clear.

Re: The Devourer Below
Turn 3 Mythos Phase
Daisy follows the path she has found until she comes across a stream and begins to wade across it, her skirt short enough that it doesn't get wet. When she gets about halfway across, something seizes her by the legs and pulls her beneath the water! Flailing and spluttering, she manages to turn around and bring her head back above the surface, where she is met by the horrifying sight of yet another monster. This one is humanoid, but it looks like it is a cross between a man and a fish or a frog, with bulging eyes, sharp rows of teeth, and gills. Its webbed claws crawl up her body as it climbs on top of her, and her terrified screams begin anew. They are cut off suddenly when the creature locks its lips around hers and kisses her roughly.

Screams. Daisy's screams. For a moment he's relieved, "Daisy Walker is alive still!" Then the awful alternative presents itself, "And she's in danger again!"
"I'm coming, Miss Walker!"
Action 1: Move out of Twisting Paths to Main Path.
Intellect 3 +2[On the Lam] +1[Opportunist], Chaos token [dice]0[/dice] (tablet -3) ; success.
He found his way out. Jogging round a huge, lightening-scorched tree stump he stopped dead, confronted by "a colossal and nameless blasphemy."
+1 fight, +1 evade
Action 2: Fight the Ghoul Minion. Fight 3 +1[Opportunist] +1[Machete], Chaos token [dice]1[/dice] (0) ; success, 1 +1 damage, Ghoul Minion killed.
It loped towards him, knuckles dragging through fallen leaves, bony claws clenching and bloody maw drooling with anticipation. Skids drew the machete from out under his belt, and took a mighty swing with it at the ghoul; truth to tell, he had his eyes closed and mentally crossed his fingers. The result was as brutal as it was shocking to him. Gouts of gore sprayed the path, trees, and himself. The ghoul fell and lay motionless upon the ground.
Action 3: Move to Cliffside.
Action 4: Engage the Young Deep One.
"Daisy, Daisy," he repeated.
Splashing, gurgling, choking, gasping. He waded into a stream which had stopped his frantic running and dived towards a patch of bubbles and foaming water. He hooked an arm round Daisy's waist and dragged her to the bank. Something jerked at his ankle. Skids turned to face a hideous frog-thing, his eyes drawn to its gills which flapped uselessly at the air.
"Run, Miss Walker, run!"

Re: The Devourer Below
Turn 4 Investigator Phase
"Th-thank you..." wheezes Daisy, scrambling to her feet. What's left of her clothing is drenched, her torn blouse hanging off of her right shoulder, now bare but for the strap of her brassiere. The left side of her skirt is ripped up to her hip. However, she isn't too badly hurt physically. She races back for the main path, not daring to look back, and continues into the woods beyond on the other side. She runs until she is out of breath, when she leans against a tree and slides down to the ground, gasping. Why do these monsters keep trying to have their way with me? she thinks, shuddering at how close she had come to being violated. Maybe that frog-man thought it would turn into a prince. If Skids hadn't gotten to me in time...I hope he's okay. I wouldn't have minded if he had kissed me.

Once Daisy has caught her breath, she gets up and continues through the thick, tangled woods. Branches and brambles clutch at her, reminding her all too uncomfortably of grasping claws, but she lights her way with the flashlight and cuts through them. Soon she reaches a clearing, where what she sees reveals, with the help of feminine intuition, what needs to be done to stop this madness.

spawn at the Main Path.
Enemy Phase 4
Leo de Luca pushed aside Skids. The Louisiana Lion was subject to the full horror of the frog-thing, and he took a nasty swipe across his chest from its webbed claw; miniature phials of moonshine, which he had kept in one bulging breast pocket, scattered, some smashed, over the river bank.
"That really is the pits," he said, and meant it, too.
Leo suffers 1 damage and 1 horror.
