Re: Ch.5 By The Lake In Moonlight
Howard struggles with the spine...
Re: Ch.5 By The Lake In Moonlight
Thomas hears William and begins running towards the back of the car. He joins Jacob, and yells ”Come on! Push!”.
Re: Ch.5 By The Lake In Moonlight
Howard desperately grabs at the spine in his shoulder, but it is stuck fast. He groans in pain and sinks to his knees.
Re: Ch.5 By The Lake In Moonlight
Lawrence ran to the back of the car to assist in pushing it.
Re: Ch.5 By The Lake In Moonlight
William is easily able to maintain control of the car.

Re: Ch.5 By The Lake In Moonlight
With the additional momentum behind the car, William pressed the starter button again and the engine backfired loudly and then roared into life! It jumped forward and the back tyre ran over the naked man’s leg, which snapped with a sickening ‘crack!’
William howled in frustration as he slotted a single shell into the shotgun and fired in the direction of the car. The blast took out the windscreen in the passenger side, where Jacob had been sat just moments before. The buzzing from the creature intensified to the point where speech was almost inaudible and a tentacle shot out and crashed across the bonnet, leaving a huge welt and a hiss of escaping steam...
With gritted teeth, Howard pulled the long spine from his shoulder. A gout of blood erupted as the spine cleared his flesh and he felt his head spin.

Re: Ch.5 By The Lake In Moonlight
Groaning in pain, Howard gets to his feet and begins moving towards the car.
Re: Ch.5 By The Lake In Moonlight
Lawrence frantically jumps in the car as fast as he can.
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
Re: Ch.5 By The Lake In Moonlight
Thomas decides to follow suit and jumps into the car, keeping his head low to avoid any further shotgun blasts.
Re: Ch.5 By The Lake In Moonlight
With everyone else aboard, William throws the car into gear and drives away as fast as he safely can.

Re: Ch.5 By The Lake In Moonlight
William pulled the wheel hard left and gunned the engine. The back wheel skidded momentarily on the wet ground before it gained purchase and started to turn. The turn took them close to William and the creature, which was so close that they could hear its spines scratch down the side of the car. The passengers could only stare in horror at the sickening, fleshy maw that filled the side window as the passed. The creature lashed out one last time but missed.
As the car completed its turn and William pushed the accelerator down hard, Robert crashed into the driver’s side door. His fist rebounded from the window though and left a bloody smear as the car moved forward.
William has snapped open his shotgun and slid another shell into the barrel. He leapt back when the car approached but now fired another shot through the back window as the car straightened up and headed out of the clearing. The window shattered, sending glass flying through the car, which left the back of Lawrence’s head and shoulders a raw and bloody mess.
As the tyres finally gripped the tarmac and the car surged forward, William glanced back in the mirror one last time. Silhouetted against the white mist of the lake, he saw the emaciated form of his friend, James, who stood and watched him leave with cold, dead eyes. William blinked and pulled on the wheel to point the car in the direction of Arkham and when he looked again, his friend was gone... ...

"Let's get back to Arkham," he says. "We all need to get to the hospital, and we can alert the State Police at this point - though we might not want to mention the monster that came out of the lake. I don't think we can do anything more than that tonight. I feel like I've gone ten rounds with Jack Dempsey."

Re: Ch.5 By The Lake In Moonlight
Howard groans in pain in the back seat, trying to staunch the flow of blood from his shoulder with his handkerchief.
Re: Ch.5 By The Lake In Moonlight
"We need to prepare ourselves and go back as soon as we can. Who knows what they'll try to do now that we've uncovered their sinister doings?", Thomas says.
"Perhaps we should think about better arming ourselves too."
