Alright, new discussion is up. I will have a new RP thread up in a second as well, so just wait for it.

Dante
04-05-2004, 10:41 PM
Now, where were we? Yes...

*Whips out tommy gun and mows everyone down*

"AH HAH HAH AH HAH HAH HAH!"

"Keep da change, ya filthy animal."

It's "vitreous". For that you will die.

Yeah like heart burn, A circadian rhythm change, and maybe even a crazy dream. I am not too worried FZ.

Whoo boy, I think Dante may be stressing out... Eitehr that, or he failed a sanity check...

Great the ghost is having rough sex.

*has guts rearranged*

*passes sanity check for once*

Wow...look at that....ouch I guess.

*has a beer*

There's a warning label on a swedish chainsaw that says "Do not attempt to stop the chain with your hand or genitals."

As they approach the bedroom the squeeking of bed springs can be heard, and a female voice shouting blasphemies. Also low animal grunts can be heard.

Post this I dare you. I double dare you.

Darth SS
04-05-2004, 10:55 PM
Quite.

There's also a nuts bag that has the instructions "Open bag, eat nuts."

A japanese cereal box that says on the bottom, "Never put the box upside down"

There's a flashlight that says "Use only indoors or outdoors"

and many other stupid people labels. But the chainsaw one is the most horrifying.

Watch as Dave and Tommy refuse to open the door because their hands are full while SS and lazy's guys just sit there with no excuse to not open the door, but won't do it because they are cowards.

See, this may be one of the funniest moments in the RP so far... As two of your try and convince the other two to open it, and the other two refuse...

*has a chainsaw*

Who wants to stop it with their genitals?

Anybody?

Dave's STR is 3, he can't kick down a dog door.

Darth SS
04-05-2004, 11:05 PM
*sticks chainsaw into Dante's crotch*


Anyways, I still say you kick it down. Or shoulder barge. Or shoot the handle, and then kick it open.

Squishy Cheeks
04-05-2004, 11:06 PM
Str of 3? Can you even fire a gun without snapping your wrist or jerking your arm out of socket?

IHateMakingNames
04-05-2004, 11:07 PM
Oh, he has a lot of experience with snapping his wrist and jerking his arm...


And yes, he can shot with a STR of 3... I hope.

Squishy Cheeks
04-05-2004, 11:08 PM

*Dante morphs into Cthulhu and proceeds to do things to krylo's and SuperSaiyan's heads that remind people of a scary episode of La Blue Girl*

Mmmph... ohhyesh, ish tashes sho gud!

Dante
04-05-2004, 11:17 PM

*Proceeds to extract krylo's brain through his nose and eat it*

Pah, damn junk food.

IHateMakingNames
04-05-2004, 11:18 PM
Did you gouge out their eyes and skull fuck 'em? (I've never seen La Blue Girl so I'm guessing)

Dante
04-05-2004, 11:19 PM
No, just eat their brains... not that either of them have much... :p

Krylo
04-05-2004, 11:20 PM
That hurts, Dante. I'm going to cry...

IHateMakingNames
04-05-2004, 11:22 PM
The blood was only in the noise room right? If so, that means Dave is the only one covered in blood.

Forever Zero
04-05-2004, 11:24 PM

Yes, it was only in the one room. The rest of the house is clear. And your guy may not be soaked, but blood definatly rained on him.

Dante
04-05-2004, 11:24 PM
Yeah, but Tommy was right behind him, and he got creeped out. I actually thought the blood was coming from the whole roof of the second floor...

lazy man
04-05-2004, 11:25 PM
Alright, I'll edit my post.

Forever Zero
04-05-2004, 11:26 PM
No, the one room suddenly started bleeding everyhwere from everything, but the rest of the house is alright.

Krylo
04-05-2004, 11:29 PM
...I never saw IHMN say anything about putting his guns away... so a guy with a pair of guns just ran out of a house, covered in blood, and started stripping. Wouldn't someone like... call the police?

Edit: Followed by a guy with a thompson. Granted the guy with the thompson hid his gun, but he was still outside for a minute.

IHateMakingNames
04-05-2004, 11:31 PM
He dropped his guns outside, and he isn't going to take off his pants, that's just wrong...

Krylo
04-05-2004, 11:32 PM
Yah, I noticed that now... but he still ran out of the house with guns, thew them down, and started undressing.

Dante
04-05-2004, 11:32 PM
Ooh, Dave's going to shake his booty!

TheSpiritOfVengance
04-05-2004, 11:32 PM
I had to do a weird dream so voila!

IHateMakingNames
04-05-2004, 11:34 PM
I think people would be more concerned about the fact that Dave is carrying guns, is covered in blood, and has people around him all holding guns.

Forever Zero
04-05-2004, 11:35 PM
Sorry Spirit, the bleeding house beats your weird dream...

And they aren't in a neighberhood. They are between two buisness buildings during the day. There aren't many people on the street, and just assume they didn't run too far out.

TheSpiritOfVengance
04-05-2004, 11:38 PM
In the Day? Heh Cops indecent exposure all sorts of fun stuff...

IHateMakingNames
04-05-2004, 11:42 PM
What form of bathing do people use in 1920s? (Showers, baths, hose out back, rivers, etc?)

Dante
04-05-2004, 11:42 PM
Sand. Definitely sand.

Krylo
04-05-2004, 11:42 PM
And they aren't in a neighberhood. They are between two buisness buildings during the day. There aren't many people on the street, and just assume they didn't run too far out.
Awwww... I wanted to see Dave fast talk his way out of that. "Uh... this isn't blood... it's just... house juice."

Edit: IHMN, they used baths/showers. Kind of like today. They had plumbing... although many people couldn't afford it, and ended up getting water from outside, heating it on a stove, and pouring it into a tub.

Darth SS
04-05-2004, 11:43 PM
Dear god, can you imagine explaining this to people?

"The walls were covered in blood."
"Is that why Dave's covered in blood-stains?"
"Yah...pretty much."
"Was he stripping outside?"
"...No comment."

CelesJessa
04-05-2004, 11:43 PM
*sniffle* I'm missing out on all the fun stuff.

Well, now I have more problems. I got home today, all ready to get on the forums, but then my dad informed me that my computer in my room has crapped out on me... so I can only get on a few minutes at night and the morning... Bleh. But don't worry, it should be working again soon... if my dad takes some time to work on it.

So... thus... I'll be falling behind some more. You can leave me behind at the mansion or whatever, but I will be coming back (soon, hopefully)... you can kill me off if you need to... (but I would prefer just being left behind. ^_^; )


And I'm frightened, I have no clue what's going on in the RP, but I come here and read about Dave "shaking his booty" (as Dante put it) or "stripping", Maybe I should be glad I'm missing some of this. ^^;; heheh.

IHateMakingNames
04-05-2004, 11:44 PM
Dave is currently covered in house blood and took of his coat and shirt to try and get as much off as possibly.

Dante
04-05-2004, 11:44 PM
Yeah, maybe you should skip the less savory parts...

And welcome back, Celes. Happy birthday.

Darth SS
04-05-2004, 11:44 PM
And Dante has had a chainsaw stuck in his crotch.

Oh, and Spirit's guy is reading a book that is wrapped in baby skin.

04-05-2004, 11:49 PM
No no, just human skin. Not baby.

Forever Zero
04-05-2004, 11:50 PM
Yes, and IHMN, Dante, Lazy, Dr DR (He isn't here), and SS all were just in a bleeding room of a house. They then all ran outside, and IHMN, who was covered in blood, began to take off his bloody clothes in panic...

Oh, and Spirit found an old Mythos book covered in bloodstains, cuts, tears, and the book is bound in human skin...

Trust me, your not missing much...

04-05-2004, 11:50 PM

"Odd, The blood usually gets off on the third floor."

It's not blood! It's fresh squeezed house juice! Mmm... House Juice, with 100% of your daily plasma per glass!

Ok we should time jump to the next day. I'm sure ted will be popular since he is a priest, and a psychiatric proffesional, as well as an Antropologist.

I think krylo's been possessed by a Teletubby or something.

Dr DR
04-06-2004, 04:08 PM
Weee... off I go to certain death. Nevertheless, should be interesting. My character hasn't had one opportunity to use any sort of skill yet. Must... sneak...

04-06-2004, 08:42 PM
Frankie wants to learn how to use '+3|-| 1337 |\/|46!( 5|<!112'... so that's what he's doing.

I think the others should go dig up that guy's body though. If 'Thu Thu' wants it there, the body should be moved.

lazy man
04-06-2004, 08:44 PM
Paul will be reading the diaries in detail so he knows what went on in there, finding the spell while reading in the process. Krylo, meanwhile, will be attempting to eat my face.

Forever Zero
04-06-2004, 08:45 PM
It will take him 1 day to read the book, and one week to learn the spell, so you will be out of action for a while...

Krylo
04-06-2004, 08:46 PM
Fine with me. And someone mention flamethrower. I wanna make one inbetween missions. I'll just alter the chemical mix...

Forever Zero
04-06-2004, 08:48 PM
It can be a random newspaper article or something, but then you will need to look up blueprints, then actually build it, and you will need to give it to a strong memeber of the party and hope it doesn't blow up...

Krylo
04-06-2004, 08:53 PM
Frankie: "Hey Tommy! Look what I made you! It's a flame thrower!"

REPOST: Alright, is the RP officially dead by now?

IHateMakingNames
04-06-2004, 10:15 PM
If you want it to die so much just let it die. Things are going slow recently (I think most people are getting their spring breaks either now or in them).

Forever Zero
04-06-2004, 10:21 PM
I don't want it to die, but it keeps slowing way down, and fewer and fewer people are becoming reguler posters. I get m spring break next week, but because of family schedules, we aren't all on the same one, so I will spend a week at home. At least I'll be out of school, and I'll start my break on Friday...

It just seems that not much is happening, even when a bunch of people are online, so I was wondering if everyone sort of gave up on getting it going.

Truce
04-06-2004, 10:27 PM
*Sigh* Assuming that I'm not ignored.

If it dies, it dies. However, it isn't "officially" dead until the players stop posting almost completely, or until you give up interest. Normally, it is a combination of the two.

Forever Zero
04-06-2004, 10:34 PM
I already posted this before you did...

But alright, it seems there is some interest still. Anyway, you current mission is to find whatever is causing the disturbances, and to stop it. You won't have enough time to learn any spells to use against it, so don't worry about that. Just focus on everything you already learned, and deduce where the foe must be. Once you find it, then you can figure out how to kill it...

Spells and such will come after the mission ends.

CelesJessa
04-06-2004, 10:46 PM
But alright, it seems there is some interest still.

I'm still interested, I'm just not sure where to jump in, since I've missed a bit. ^^;;

Forever Zero
04-06-2004, 10:48 PM
Well, you don't need to know a ton. Basically, just follow the others leads and you should be safe enough, since they all know what you are facing to a degree. You will probably pick up the rest as you go along, and right now they are all at the mansion.

IHateMakingNames
04-06-2004, 10:49 PM
Basically, the vets are either lying around or reading book/bothering book reader, while the newbies are scared and/or trying to act tough.

Krylo
04-06-2004, 10:55 PM
FZ... what IS in the book about the beast? Seeming as Frankie just read through the ritual and Henry is asking about it.

CelesJessa
04-06-2004, 10:58 PM
Did Clara go to investigate with them, or did she stay behind? If she stayed behind, she wouldn't know exactly what they saw, but she could probably imagine. (but it might be better, since then I wouldn't have to pretend like I was there. ^^;; )

IHateMakingNames
04-06-2004, 10:59 PM
She was at the mansion the entire time, or you can say she went to sing or something for money. She did not go on any investigations though.

Krylo
04-07-2004, 12:21 AM
You know what would make this thing move faster? If FZ would answer my question... so Frankie could answer Henry's... and then we could all go to the house. 'Cept Dave, because Dave's a coward.

IHateMakingNames
04-07-2004, 12:22 AM
He isn't a coward, he is moping. There's a difference. Coward means he would be in the corner hugging his knees while crying. He instead is just sitting in his chair pissed that he now knows of all these ghost stories he's heard can be true and he was recently covered in blood.

Edit - But on missions he will always be in the middle of the group and never go anywhere first.

Forever Zero
04-07-2004, 12:27 AM
The "Beast from Another World" is a one shot spell. It summons the beast in question, and once the spell is learned you summon the beast, attempt to bind it, then if you succeed in binding it, you can give it one command before it disappears. A command like, "Attack this guy", or "Defend this person for the next hour." It has to be a concrete command, and if it is a general command, it has a one hour time limit.

If you want, full stats will be up either tonight or tomarrow.

Or do you mean Thu Thu, the One Who Waits in the Dark? I'm not sure 100% what you are looking for...

IHateMakingNames
04-07-2004, 12:28 AM
What happens if you fail to bind it?

Forever Zero
04-07-2004, 12:30 AM
What happens if you fail to bind it?

It specifically attacks the caster, the one that forced it there in the first place, and it kills him or her and leaves, since it didn't want to be there in the first place...

Krylo
04-07-2004, 12:30 AM
I meant the summoned beast... I just want to know what it would say in the book about it.

And I'd assume if you fail to bind it it kills you. Kills you dead and gorges itself on your blood.

Edit: As always, I'm right.

IHateMakingNames
04-07-2004, 12:31 AM
By leaves, do you mean stays in our world and goes somewhere else, or leaves back to it's world?

It goes back to wherever it came from. If it is a creature from another dimension and it can, it returns to it's own dimension. If it is a creature that walks the earth (Some monsters can only be summoned in very specific circumstances), then it just leaves the group and goes back to whatever it was doing before it was summoned. Basically, mosnters don't like to be pushed around, and they go back to doing their own thing unless forced.

Also... I have a question, that has little relevance on anything:

Let's say Cthulu invades the world... and one of us knows Hastur's song. Now let's say that person manages to survive at first and train about 100 other people in how to cast the spell... now the next time they're able to cast the spell, would it be plausible that they pop Cthulu like a zit being hit by that many Hastur's songs at once?

Forever Zero

Hastur's song doesn't overlap. Every time it is cast, the second one overlaps the first and negates it. Only one person can cast it at a time, thus an easy way to defend against it is if one person learns it and a cultists uses it, the person can just use it to counter the cultist.

Awww... too bad. I'd love to see something as big as cthulu explode like that...

Cthulhu is over 100 stories tall, he could easily smash a whole army of people singing Hastur's Song anway...

Anymore Call rleated questions? The description of the beast in question is coming up... Oh, and krylo, you gain +1 Cthulhu Mythos point for reading the diary.

What if you did rapid fore Hastur songs? (Not sure if technology for this is available yet though) You record some one singing the song, then you make many copies and fast forward through one, then when its done start another, and so on.

True, but if they all hit him with it at once and they didn't overlap, I doubt he'd survive long enough. He has something like 160 hps... and con in the 50s or some such? And it does about 3 damage per round... and about 3 con damage every 4 rounds...

Ok, so we'd need 300-400 casters.

It is sung contantly until the target is dead, the caster runs out of HP, the caster goes insane, or the caster dies, so you don't need to record it rapid fire. As long as the song is sung (And it isn't a song in the sense of lyrics or a specific length of time you sing it, it is just sung in a special langauge of Hastur), it is having an effect on the desired target.

EDIT: Big C has 110 CON...

I will study the Mythos book.

Forever Zero

The book reads on the thing that is summoned, and I quote:

"As the spell was cast, it seemed motes of light gathered before my eyes. I was accustomed to the dark after days of study in my lab, and the sight was blinding. When it faded, a horrible thing stood before me. Shuffling towards me in the darkness was the gigantic, blasphemous form of a thing not fully ape and not fully insect. It's hide hung loosly on it's frame, and its rugose, dead-eyed rudiment of a head swayed drunkenly from side to side. It's forepaws were extended, with talons spread wide, and its whole body was taut with murderous malignity despite its utter lack of facial description."

Yep. That can cause a failed insanity check right there.

Maybe if you're a wuss. Frankie's a rock, however... he only had temporary insanity the one time David flew through the attic door and he first noticed that, "hey... the occult does exist, and it just killed that guy." He didn't even freak out when the zombie started eating him.

That was a fluke and everyone knows it... I should have auto applied failed sanity just because of the situation...

My guy is no little shrimp, well he is tiny and kind of wimpy, but I am sure he could pas a lot of sanity tests. However Since he is reading the Mythos I cannot really expect much...

I thought so... but no one is replying to Frankie's last comment. But then... no one did much of anything until just a little while ago. Today was/is really super slow for some reason.

*Shrug* Amazingly enough, I am spending less and less time with my computer and more and more time outside enjoying company.

Oh well. *Response*

If noone else says anything soon (like...say a day), can we just move along with the actions? I know what I'm doing.

Alright, I officially proclaim this RP dead.

Now, to resolve the scenario.

Corbitts was performing occult experiments with the help of the Cult he was in. He rose to a high position, and eventually successfully had a Life "Immortality" spell cast on him. He will live forever if left alone, but he is mortal and can be killed. However, his body still aged in his immortality, so when he became old he faked his death and was buried underneath his house. There he could keep practicing his magic and become more powerful until one day he could leave as a powerful sorcerer and "live" again. Anyone that stayed in the house was a potential threat, so he killed them or drove them insane. You did not see it since none of you had the Spot Hidden rolls to succeed, but he has a magic knife he can control, that he can make fly around and stab who he wishes. Also , he has a dominate mind spell, so if you became a threat, he could possess one of you to try and kill the others. Also, as you saw, he had a special control over his own room, and could perform the tricks you saw. He could also move around his bed at will, and he would try to lure one of you to the window and bash you out of it. It would most likely have killed an investigator if you fell for it.

The scenario would have ended when you went to the basement, and realized that he was behind the wooden wall. You would have needed too break through it, kill the rats in the wall he controlled (One is a joke, but a small army of them counts as an enemy) then gotten into his secret burial chamber. You would find his collection of occult books he was studying, then he would most likely have risen up and attacked. He was mortal, but cast a spell on himself to make his skin as hard a srock, and would have been difficult to break through. He would cast Summon/Bind Dimensional Shambler (The Beast from the Beyond spell you saw, this is the technical name), and try to kill you with his bare hands and his magic knife. After taking about 30 HP of damage, difficul with his Flesh Ward spell that made his skin so tough, he would have taken too much damage to keep functioning and keep his immortality spell going, and would dissolve into dust.
