Dr. Hewitt and Trevor flank Jervase's body. He appears to be for the most part unharmed. Groggily, Jervase looks up at them and tries to stand. It is then that Dr. Hewitt notices a large spot of blood under his left arm. The strain is evidently too much for the man, and he slumps back down against the bricks. "Too...many..." he murmurs. "Tried...help...Ra..." he falls silent. Checking his pulse, the two find that he still lives.
"Do what you can for him, Doctor," Trevor says as he stands. Taking a firm grip on his walking stick he runs into the house.

Richard half carries, half drags Jervase a little distance away from the yellow substance. Setting him down, he quickly goes about cleaning and dressing the man's wounds as best he can.


(Treat Injury check: 8 (d20 roll) + 7 (skill modifier) = 15)

Well, that was a real trip for biscuits.
Diggory fires his revolver at the closest of the creatures. Yeats was right. If I can get to the study, maybe I can use that spell to close up that portal. No one should have been here last night.

[Attack roll of 15, +1 ranged attack bonus, total 16.]

OOC: If he hits, Jamison attempts to make a run for the old study. If not, he runs for appropriate cover, anything that he can keep between the creature and himself while he figures out whether or not to attack again.

The baron's driver helps Dr. Hewitt clean and dress Jervase's wound. He tears off a piece of the groundskeeper's shirt and ties up the wound, stabilizing the unconscious man. God willing, he just might pull through this...

As Trevor walks toward the front door, he hears another gunshot. Entering the house, he sees Inspector Diggory running up the stairs. He also notices an arm dangling from the ceiling, apparently emerging directly from the ceiling.

Inspector Diggory's shot kills one of the creatures, and he runs up the stairway, turning towards the study when he reaches the top.

And it's another Wisdom check for Trevor, DC 18 on this one.

Well, that's worked out rather nicely. Diggory rushes towards the study, ready to shoot at any more of the creatures should they block his path. "Shaw! Miller! What in the devil has gone on here?"

[OOC: 4! At this rate Trevor will be a babbling idiot by lunchtime :)]

Trevor leans back against the wall staring at the arm in revulsion. Pulling himself together, he slides along the wall toward the stairs.

"Stay with this man, and if you can, move him somewhere more comfortable." Richard instructs the driver, before running towards the house. Another gun shot rings out, and he quickens his pace again.

Dear God, what is happening in there?

Pastor Andrew Miller

Pastor Miller will attempt to hit that Aiolos is batting around...

Attack roll 2!! ANOTHER 2! AAAAGGG1

...and yell "What the devil are these things!!"

Aiolos comes running out of Arthur's bedroom, leaving Miller swinging at the flying monsters. "I don't know what they are," he says to Diggory, out of breath. "Started just before dawn. It most likely has something to do with that study, don't you think?"

Miller's swings, meanwhile, while failing to hit any of the creatures, serve to ward them well away. Trevor runs to the stairs, warning Dr. Hewitt, who is in turn entering the house, about the mysterious arm. Outside, the driver pulls Jervase into the carriage and lays him on the seat.

Arthur mumbles something, but it's unclear what.

Jarval: Wisdom check (DC 16). Poor Pastor Miller's not having much luck. :)

[occ]this is mine round![/occ]

Paster Miller growls in frustration and swings at the creature again...
Attack roll 17! +1 =18... maybe, finally, maybe :confused:
...and yells "The devil take you back!"
