Masks of Nyarlathotep: Chapter 1.5 (New York City)

[Andrew D. Gable]

William T. Llewellyn-Phelps

It's already written, William thinks as he ponders trying to escape his bonds somehow. Then he realizes that even if he did, he would still have to contend with the thing in the dungeon... his old fatalism overtakes him, and he hangs his head in silence and darkness, paralyzed with fear by the gibbering and sobbing emanating from the dungeon, hoping that whatever it was passed him, Lieutenant Poole, and the Father by...

(( OOC: are the sobbing noises continuing? ))

Nodding to Jabril, Jack steps down into the trapdoor, pistol at the ready.

Jibril follows cautiously, also with gun ready, keeping eyes and ears alert.

[sblock]You only heard the crying a couple of times. It is very faint.[/sblock]

Jack and Jibirl

You both walk down a steep set of stone stairs that go down about 20 feet to a corridor. The walls are covered with weird symbols and drawings. Jack sees an unlit lantern at the end of the stairs and lights it. It reveals a straight corridor that goes about 15 feet to an iron bound wooden door. The door is also covered with strange symbols that make Jack and Jibril uncomfortable just to look at. The door is locked.

Charles picks up the phone and again rings the police station. "Any word on the report I filed earlier?" he asks, the concern evident in his voice...

 

[Gomez]

Charles and Miriam

Charles calls the police station. It takes a bit of talking to find someone who knows what is going on. They had just changed shifts. The policeman says that a couple of officers were sent to the Ju-Ju House and they found that it was closed. They are currently trying to contact the owner and Lt. Poole.

 

[Ashy]

Charles thanks them and hangs up, a worried look on his features. He refers the information to Miriam and then asks, "So what do you think we should do". He picks his glasses off the bridge of his nose and begins polishing the lenses...

The door is also covered with strange symbols that make Jack and Jibril uncomfortable just to look at. The door is locked.

Jibril forces himself to regard the door, symbols and all. What are those symbols, he asks himself, searching his memory for anything relevent. He also looks to see if any light escapes the bottom of the door or through the keyhole, and finally, listens for any movement or other sounds from beyond.

ooc: (err... that is, he listens for other sounds from beyond the door, not for "sounds from beyond"... )

Jibril studies the door. No light escapes the bottom of the door or the keyhole. Putting his ear to the door, Jibril hears nothing but just before he pulls away he thinks he hears a someone talking behind the door. It is very faint and you cannot make out what he is saying.

ooc: a male voice? does it sound either vaguely English or vaguely African in language?

"There's someone in there," he says to Jack. "Can you pick the lock again?"
