Resurrection City 1: The Adventure of the Sealed Room

[Andrew D. Gable]

King's Arms group

As the doctor and the nobleman near the whitish form, they get a closer look at what it is - the body of a young woman, clad in a white nightshirt, lying facedown on the ground. Used to this sort of thing, Dr. Hewitt gently turns the body over to get a better look at it - the body is Rachel's. Her eyes are chewed out. Bits of shattered glass litter the ground around where her body lies.

Both of you, make Wisdom checks.

Pellgraine Manor

Pastor Miller swings his cue at one of the jelly-like monstrosities, but misses. Apparently in retaliation for his failed attack, the floating jelly lashes him in the hand with one of its tendrils, raising an angry red wound.

The jellyfish creature's attack did a negligible 1 point of damage. And also, make a Listen roll.

 

[Ferrix]

Aiolos Shaw (hp 14/14, def 16)

Aiolos, seeing the butler and Arthur fighting off the jellyfish creatures, heads up the stairs to get a better purview of the situation, grabbing something to bat away anything that attempts to come near him as he'd rather not be pummeling these floating things with his bare hands. He'll move towards Arthur's open door warily.

OOC: Spot roll 7 +4 = 11

Pastor Andrew says "Heaven above, what are these monstrosities! God protect me!"

Attack roll next round, 8 +1 =9! WOW…Listen check roll 11 +7 =18

Pellgraine Manor

Aiolos grabs a piece of wood lying on the floor and holds it warily as he proceeds along the walkway towards Arthur's bedroom. A few shapes - creatures identical to those Pastor Miller is warding off, or something else entirely - can be seen flitting about over the large white object on the floor, which does, indeed, seem to be Arthur.

Pastor Miller, meanwhile, is back in the game room, still fighting off the flying creatures momentarily. His ears perk up as he hears sounds which appear to be those of a carriage approaching up the drive - DEDI and the others?

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Diggory, absorbed in reading the journal, notices nothing until the carriage stops and is well behind both the doctor and the baron. When he realizes that something is afoot, he shuts the journal, pockets it, hops out of the carriage and runs after the other two men.

At the sight of the corpse, he manages to avoid retching, although he's not seen many worse than this one.

[Wisdom check, roll of 15 on d20, +2 Wis, total 17]

[OOC: These are Wisdom checks, not Will saves, right?
I rolled a 12 + 0 = 12
I don't know the DC, so I don't know what my reaction should be.

Pastor Andrew Miller

Pastor Miller will yell at the top of his lungs "Help in the house! We need assistance immediately! Die you Devil cursed monstrosity! Go back whence you came!"

next round, Attack roll 6 +1 =7, ok I think the Pastor is giving it up trying to hit these things

King's Arms group

As the group in front of Pellgraine Manor examines the body, two sounds ring clear in the mostly still air: a man's voice shouting from inside the house - it sounds like Pastor Miller's - and a gunshot from around the corner of the manor.

Pellgraine Manor

Rapidly becoming more and more fearful, Pastor Miller swings at the creatures again. One avoids Jeremy's swing, and stings him across the eyes. He screams and staggers, and soon he falls, his body swarmed by the jellies and bizarre urchin-like monstrosities.

Meanwhile, Aiolos makes his way to Arthur's door. Arthur lies on the floor - or, rather unbelievably, half-in the floor - groaning feebly as he fights off flying, lamprey-like monsters. He's bleeding severely. Behind him, the curtains billow in the morning breeze, a large jagged hole broken in the glass.
