Call of Cthulhu: Day two

[Zemalac]

"Do you know who did this?! Who does Mr Spencer have enemies with? Also, why are you here so early in the morning?!"

Max shook his head. "I already told your soldiers, I don't know what's going on. We're all here because Professor Spencer asked us to meet him here yesterday." He spread his hands in a helpless gesture, realized that he was still holding the rifle from Spencer's office, and quickly put it down against the wall.

 

[PurpleRain]

"Why did he call you here? Also, the guns; were you expecting someone to come back?" the soldier said try to pry out the information.

A few more soldiers came in deading to the crime scene before shutting off the door to the public.

The soldier turned back to Max, "We'll it looks like a murder that involved more then one persons. Your little group so far is the only people around, we saw noone else enter the place at night."

"We were supposed to go on an archeological expedition with him," Max said. "We waited for him, and when he didn't show up we started exploring the place. I think Travis found the bodies in the basement. At least he was the one who told me about them." He glanced at the rifle leaning against the wall and gave a nervous laugh. "As for the guns...we just took them from the Professor's office. I think they were meant for the expedition."

He watched the soldiers nervously.

 

[PurpleRain]

"Hmm, it would make sense. But we never did see anyone enter, or a group for that matter. The police will arive shortly to mop up the scene though I trust them little."

He turns to the rest of the investigators,
"Alright, grab your stuff and head over to the embasy. This is a crime scene now."

OOC: I'm assuming you'll stick all the guns in a case or something to drag along with you?

 

[Raikone]

OOC: I'm assuming you'll stick all the guns in a case or something to drag along with you?

OOC: No way I'm giving up my gun.

"Fine we will head over to the embassy" Charles says after coming down from the professors office where he had stuffed all the guns into a bag.

 

[Zemalac]

Max picked up the rifle he had leaned against the wall and handed it to Charles. "Could you carry this?" he asked. "Just put it in the bag with the others or something." He slung his light backpack over his shoulder and headed for the embassy.

Travis rises and steps back, all the while watching Benji for any sudden movements. "Well, Benji obviously needs professional help. He seems to be rambling about some apparent being called the "Messenger"." Travis says sadly, motioning for Saheed to get help from the streets. After concluding that the boy wasnt going to pose much more of a problem, Travis rubs his throat and searches the rest of the house, to find anything else that could be useful to the group...

OOC: So, I'll be walking around the entirity of the house. So unless I bump into something significant, give me an outline of the house please Rain. =)

 

[PurpleRain]

OOC: It's a shanty house and very worn down. Two rooms, the one you were in and the bedroom with the stabbed girl and the bloody knife (nothing special about the knife, just a normal household one). The only funiture it has was a chair and a table in the main room and a bed in the little one.

There is no other objects or secret compartments found.

IC: Saheed moves over to Travis, "We could take him to the mental institution before he hurts anyone. Then we should probably tell our friends what happend her-"

Before he could finish his scentence, the black cat from before races up his leg and bites him on the thigh before bolting off again.

"Agh! There is some strange evil at work here. Nothing is right."

 

[Fire Daemon]

"Right! We take him to the Institution, let them look after him. Then we get back to the Museum and tell everyone what happened. Then we check out that temple the Doc was planning to investigate and get some damn understanding on what this is all about. Agreed?"

 

[The_Toe_Bighter98]

"Agreed" Travis said as he re entered the room. "So, I guess Saheed will lead us to a suitable asylum? Lets make sure it has proper guards though, as I have a feeling we may need Benji again." he stated, and motioned for the others to leave the house. "So, shall we? Or should we continue to look for more clues?".

 

[Fire Daemon]

"We wont have enough room in the car for all of us. I could stay here and investigate this house and when you have taken the boy to an asylum you can come back and pick me up."

 

[The_Toe_Bighter98]

Travis nodded, "Sounds like a plan." he agreed. Picking up Benji, Travis motioned for Saheed to follow as he exited the house and headed for the car.

 

[Tsurugi]

Tsurugi follows behind the group as they head to the embassy. He had no weapons so he didn't have to worry about giving anything to anybody to carry for him. He had his own pack with the book still in it slung over his shoulders as he walks across the street looking around.

 

[Teafo]

Samuel decided it would be safer to stick with the group and climbs into the back seat of the car behind Saheed. "I don't like the look of this kid at all..." he mumbled, and started jotting down everything he could hear from the boy. All the ramblings about the "Messenger" and all.

 

[Blayze]

At a loss for anything meaningful he could contribute, Tony settled for being a voice of at least some common sense.

"You do realise that when we all show up at this asylum with weapons and a boy who's been beaten up, the staff will automatically assume we did it, right?"

 

[PurpleRain]

At the asylum, things went reasonable well. The staff didn't care much about Benji's cracked face or the groups shifty eyes. The halls of the building rang out with manic laughter and crying from the inmates. They best not think about it; how minds can crack so easily.

Jon waited by the car for the rest to return. The place around the asylum was just as run down as the place they had came from. I guess the government didn't care too much for this part of town.

As the group assembled back together, they returned to pick Jack up again.

Spoiler: People in the car

Make a spot hidden thanks.

 

[The_Toe_Bighter98]

Spoiler: My Roll

Spot Hidden: 25

Roll: 13

As the car rushes back to pick up Jack, something catches Travis's eye...

OOC: Its so lucky, it'll make others think your cheating... =)

 

[Fire Daemon]

Jack quickly started looking around the house when the group left, carrying the insane boy with them. He starting looking for something, anything, helpful in the room with the symbols on the wall. He then moved through the rest of the house, ending in the room with the corpse

OOC: Spot Hidden Roll of 5 (how lucky). Do I need to make a roll for each room?

 

[PurpleRain]

Spoiler: Travis

As the car drives down the streets you notice a stange man in one of the alleys. Wearing a black robe and a mask over his face resembling a long single horn down the middle like an elephant trunk. His black robes has a red symbol on it. The car was moving too fast but it looked like the one in the museum.

OOC: To everyone else in the car, too slow. The car was too fast.

Spoiler: Jack

You find a scibble on the wall writen in what looks to be Latin. Sadly, nothing else in the house is too be of value to this investigation. It's basically all bear. Even searching the floor looks to have no comparments hidden. he body of the dead girl lying across the bed is quite old and near decomposing. Though slashed on her chest is anouth one of those 'eyes' like back in the museum.

The black cat watches you from the busted entrance of the building.

OOC: Also, that was a good roll, you can check that score. Roll above your score and you can gain a D6 bonus to it.
