"That's all very philosophical," Trevor observes. "But Arthur needs help and I don't think any of us can give it. I wonder if you intend to just stand there pontificating or do something useful."Andrew D. Gable said:

"What I intend is of no import to you, my young Baron." Thomas turns back towards the study. "Oh, and I fear I must forbid any of you from entering this room. Especially you, dear inspector. I can't allow you to do what I know you plan to do." Thomas smiles, and Diggory gets the distinct impression that this man knows exactly what he learned in that book last night. Richard rushes by towards Arthur's bedroom, and Thomas shakes his head slowly.
you never pay any attention to me murderer killer wretched man wizard libertine swine witch satyr care more about books and chemicals than your own wife, whispers a disembodied voice.
"Ahh, Dr. Hewitt. So you found the radix pedis diaboli, I see. Oh, my good pastor, don't look so perplexed. All will become clear once you meet Frater EIECET. Which you will, I assure you of that."
it's time the time is now do it show them do it now Thomas it's what that Baron wants you to do or are you too weak weakling fool coward...
Thomas hangs in the doorway of the study, eyes still closed. "How dare you insult me in front of guests?" he murmurs, " but you're right, of course. You were always right, woman." He lunges forward suddenly and with the speed of a snake has Trevor by the throat.

Trevor pulls at Pellgraine's wrists, managing somehow to worm his way out from the man's grasp. As the baron wheezes and gasps for breath, the disembodied voice whispers again.
see look Thomas always a failure monster waste of time it's no wonder I did it may as well not be married...
A pensive and almost mournful expression crosses Thomas' face. Then Trevor sees it - and instinctively starts backing away. A movement under Thomas' flesh, under the skin on his arms, his face. He gazes up in a moment, flesh grown over his eyes. His arms extend with a painful sound, most of the skin now iridescent, purplish, like the skins of the small flying monsters...
Really lucked out, there. Pellgraine messed up his roll horribly - not a fumble, but darn close to it.
And - joy! - it's time for another round of Wisdom checks. DC 14 for Trevor, DC 16 for everyone else.

Well, that was a real trip for biscuits.
Diggory frowns and keeps his revolver trained on Thomas. Bloody hell, he knows what I'm thinking. He's daft, surely, but also dangerous. No sooner has Diggory thought this than the older man lunges at Walsingham. Stunned, Jamison tries to keep his gun pointed at Thomas.
"Good Lord!" [Wisdom check against DC 16, roll of 17 on d20, +2 Wis, total 19, success] "Can't let me go to the study, eh? Well, we'll see. I'm persistent, you know." Diggory drops his aim from the man's chest and fires a shot into his kneecap. [Roll of 11 on d20, +1 ranged, total 12, which is probably not good enough]

Inspector Diggory grits his teeth and fires at the creature's leg. To his amazement, the Pellgraine-Thing howls in pain but looks relatively unfazed, even by a gunshot in the knee. Trevor, meanwhile, falls to his knees and screams...
Lightly Wounded = 75% health or above
Moderately Wounded = 50%-75% health
Severely Wounded = 25%-50% health
Critically Wounded = less than 25% health
Pellgraine-Thing: lightly wounded
Pastor Miller: lightly wounded
Inspector Diggory: unhurt
Trevor MacAllistair: unhurt
Dr. Hewitt: unhurt
Aiolos Shaw: unhurt
And now on to combat, a format Karl'll recognize from the Conan game. Rough guesstimate of health levels here, post your character's actions and I'll roll them all up eventually and post a new chart at the end of a round. I want to try to wrap up this adventure before Jim leaves for a few days, so I'll try to do a round a day.
Jim: I'm sure you won't be surprised that Trevor lost enough Sanity from the Pellgraine-Thing that he's been stricken temporarily insane. He can do nothing but scream and cower until the end of the fight probably...

"Well, that was unexpected. And frustrating." Diggory, four bullets left, fires again. [Roll of 5 on d20, +1 ranged, total 6, likely failure.] "I need to get to that study, so we keep this thing busy somehow. My marksmanship, I'm afraid is lacking. Thoughts?"
