The doors closed.

Leonek ran in as one of the last people and stopped somewhere halfway between the door and the control panel, looking around with his mouth wide open.

"It's....uhm....it's..."

[Thorn]

"Bigger on the inside, yes..." Brook finishes for Leonek. "Like a tent." After making sure the doors are locked, she turns to their new visitors. "It's allright. Just breathe."

Spoiler:

No IC so... 97 and 2

Tobias looks around in total shock. He looks back to the door. "No, that's totally impossible." He thinks back, surely the Tardis was standing with space all around it. "Have we just walked into a room? I'm sure it was just a box." He goes to touch the wall. "Not rock though." He says to himself. He gives the young girl a strange look.

Story smiles and then says, "Yes, yes...now just do as Brook said and breathe. We're quite safe. Nothing can get to us in here."

[DrPeterson]

Leonek turns around, looking at the interior, then at the others, at the interior again and then at Story.

"Is it bigger or are we smaller? It would explain the capacity of your sonic probe, miniaturisation of this scale would allow you to generate an almost infinite capacity from any size of resonance chamber. But the energy needed to reduce a chamber capable of creating the kind of output you'd need to start the car with as you did would be immense, let alone what you'd need to shrink half a dozen people is so short an amount of time to fit them all into the same small police box, which means that either you have a power source of unheard of capacity or...or...or it IS bigger on the inside."


Leonek blinks, hearing himself say what he just spewed forth.

[jaysun81]

Story looks at Leonek and says, "No miniaturization my friend. The interior of the TARDIS merely in a separate dimension..." Makes a sweeping gesture towards the room with his hand "which is why she appears to be bigger on the inside." Smiles and then continues, "I suppose you could say we're in the cave but not in the cave."

oops that was for sanity and subsequent loss

Chad makes a sweeping gesture with his hand...."Which is why she looks bigger on the inside"

[yockenthwaite]

"The TARDIS's space takes some getting used to," says Elizabeth to the newcomers, "but just try to relax, and don't worry about the science too much. Well that's how I cope anyway!" she says, laughing.

[DrPeterson]

"Merely in a separate dimension...", Chad's echolalia almost seemed contagious.


Leonek's mind seems to slowly kick into gear again.

"Doctor Kirby! We have to go help and pick up the others. Does this thing move?"

You can almost see him trying to get his around the dimensional thing.

"Or do we just walk through those doors and end up somewhere else?"

[jaysun81]

"Yes, yes the TARDIS moves. Give me a moment to see if I can locate the others using the sensors." Story looks down at the console and exhaling loudly as he reaches towards the sensor controls.

[Mr. Handy]

Spoiler:

Story could tell that there were other lifeforms nearby from the instrument readings, but it was hard to determine how many there were or what kind. One of them was very close, probably visible on the scanner if he were to open the monitor screen. He didn't know for certain where the others were right now, but they had left Salem and Raymond on the beach at Horsham's shack, and he knew approximately where that was. Unfortunately, getting there using the TARDIS was a very iffy proposition. He never was the best pilot, and short hops had always been especially difficult.

Spoiler:

Story, if you want to try to use the TARDIS to get back to the beach, you may try a Pilot TARDIS roll. However, if you fail, you will not be able to control your destination and will effectively leave this adventure and head off for the next one - bringing your guests with you.

[jaysun81]

Story reached over and activate the view screen so that his companions and their guests can get a glimpse of what's happening right outside.

Running his hand through his hair he says, "Well...I'm afraid if I attempt to move us I may very well take us from this time and place which will definitely not help Dr. Kirby. Nor will our departure help Salem and Raymond." For a brief moment his hand hovers over a lever as if he is considering pulling it. However, after a moment he pulls his hand away and looks at the view screen before saying, "Now is the time to decide the future...shall we exit the TARDIS and quite possible die, though not necessarily, or stay safe and see where she takes us next? Hmmm. This time you all must decide..."

Story looks back at the lever and grabs hold of it. A thousand thoughts race through his mind but only one shine bright - the value of the human life. Does the needs of the many really outweigh the needs of the few? For once he stands torn as his knuckles turn white from the grip he has on the lever.

[Mr. Handy]

The screen slid open, revealing a view of the cave in front of the TARDIS and the tunnel through which they had entered it. A massive creature was standing in front of the TARDIS, sniffing at it. This thing resembled the other creatures somewhat, but it was a good twelve feet tall and had a face full of writhing tentacles, and it also had numerous slimy tentacles in addition to its arms that ended in vicious-looking claws. From the shape, it seemed vaguely female. The monster circled around the TARDIS, ending up back in front of it. It seemed to shrug before bending down on all fours and crawling through the tunnel and away, revealing a large dorsal fin on its back.

Spoiler:

Everyone please roll Sanity. Sanity loss is 1/1d8. Chad and Tobias, you can lose no more than 4 Sanity for seeing the creature, so any loss of more than 4 counts as only 4. Leonek, you can lose no more than 5 Sanity.

If you lose 5 or more Sanity, roll Idea. If you fail, you may act normally. If you succeed, you go temporarily insane.

Spoiler:

Your temporary insanity has now ended.

Sanity - 80% (1d100=23)

Added to the 3 I lost from seeing the inside of the TARDIS, I think Leonek goes a bit loopy.

[yockenthwaite]

Spoiler:

Rolling Sanity (stat 61%) on seeing tentacle-y creature in cave outside TARDIS (1d100=97)
Sanity loss after seeing tentacle-y creature in cave outside TARDIS (1d8=5)
Rolling Idea (stat 65%) after sanity loss after seeing tentacle-y creature outside TARDIS (1d100=54)
Ha ha!

[Mr. Handy]

Spoiler:

You flee in panic for the next ten rounds. You're not going out there, so the only way to go is through the interior door, further inside the TARDIS. Also, you gain 5 points of Cthulhu Mythos for going temporarily insane, and you may make a roll against that skill now as well.

Spoiler:

I just need rolls for Lucius, Chad, and Tobias now. Since Lucius's player hasn't posted in a long time, I'll roll for him if he doesn't return by the time the others have rolled.
