[QUOTE="talien, post: 4437409, member: 3285"] [b]McKinley Boulevard: Conclusion[/b] Archive climbed up out of the hole to hand Kristian’s unconscious body to Clara. Hammer sat propped up in one corner, nursing his bruised ribs. “Did you find Gideon?” she asked hopefully. Archive slowly shook his head. He had found Gideon. Pieces of him, sacrificed on an altar down below. But Clara didn’t need to know that. He’d also found Dave’s corpse, but nobody seemed to be concerned about him. “Why don’t you take Kristian outside?” said Hammer. “Diana’s just woken up too, she’s waiting for you.” Weeping, Clara took Kristian and left. Hammer peered down the hole. “Did you find what we came for?” Archive nodded. “There was a sorcerer living in the sub-basement, a Tsathogen.” He tossed hammer a gold pocket watch and chain. On the inside of the cover was etched, “Cedric Ruell Hedge.” “Tsathogens are very rare; only seven are known to exist, but they’re extremely long-lived. Tsathogens are tied to their temples, and once they outlive a normal human lifespan they’re physically restricted to its boundaries. Hedge was down there for God-only-knows how long, sacrificing orphans to Tsathoggua. And in return he was protecting this place from detection. He thought he had slaughtered enough orphans to summon an incarnation of Tsathoggua, but he wasn’t able to control it. When Hedge died, the other cultists abandoned the orphanage and relocated the children.” “Any leads on the orphans they placed?” “I found the corpse of a little girl down there, along with her doll.” He placed the doll reverently at the edge of the hole.

Clara and Diana looked on in shock. “Good thing we got you out of there when we did,” said Hammer as he limped past them to his car. “Gas leaks can make people see a lot of crazy things.” [/QUOTE]
