CoC D20 "Dunwich Return to the Forgotten Village"

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Paul Williams

Paul ran a hand through his hair, watching the other people in the room talking quietly to one another, or finding seats. Seat. Chair. He realized he was standing there still, looking flustered as he had when he'd first arrived. Usually that wore off after a few minutes. It had to be all these people...or the fact that so many were in high standing.

He finally took a deep breath to calm himself, running a hand down the sleeve of his coat to nervously straighten it out. His mind again came to the point that he would need to sit, and he was still standing. This time, Paul carefully made his way to a chair close to him. It was a near the back, and off on the right, out of the way of most of the other people, but not too far to make him feel like he was being rude.

OOC: Snipe, I like the German like that. Its how a lot of people who are bilingual will speak anyway. Adds nice flavor.

As the introductions continued the general mood and tone of the gathering becomes noticeably less tense. It is quite obvious that the Miskatonic University staff is just as excited as you are, and are quite happy that you are a part of this gathering. As the time for the meetings approaches you notice Dr. McTavish and his affiliates moving closer to the large oak table. Each member slowly but surely begins to find an accommodating location at the table. At this time it's appears that the Miskatonic University staff will be sitting on one side of the table, while you and the junior members occupy the other.

Patrick O’Malley notices that the door leading into the library opens ever so slighty, and suddenly stops just bearly ajar.

OOC: Spot Check 13/ DC15

Nick Oppenheimer

Nick leans over and whispers to Johann, "Well it looks like the show is starting, but to answer your quesiton, no I am not part of the expedition... yet."

Patrick barely controls his instinct to reach for a piece at the sign of unexpected movement. Not that he's packing, right now, but the instinct to respond on a second's notice at the faintest hint of trouble is too deeply ingrained in him to let go. That's odd ... nah I'm just jumpy, probably nothing but a draft, gotta settle down. Despite this sentiment, Patrick still eyes the door into the library with curiosity as he searches for a seat which will allow him a clear view of the hallway leading to it.

Patrick as you stare at the door, and make your way toward a seat, your hear something which causes you to stop dead in your tracks. You hear an almost inaudible muffled grunt, followed by the light scuffing of shoes, then suddenly you bearly hear what sounds like something colliding against the wall of the hall, on the other side of the door, which leads into the library. All of this was barely audible but you are convinced that you heard this nonetheless. You also noticed the portion of the the door that was ajar tremor a bit as you here the thud against the wall.

OOC:Listen 18/DC15
Spot 15/DC10

Now I know that wasn't just nerves. "Did anyone else hear that? Thought I heard some sort of noise near that door..." Patrick says in the general direction of the others, but to no one in particular, as he advances to the door and pulls it open to check.

Patrick as you head for the door, you hear the sound of running feet head down the hall. Then suddenly everyone hears someone yell,

" Hey, what are you doing in there!!!!"

Patrick as you open the door you see one of the Vanguard Club guards lying at the base of the door. Further up the hall you witness a man in a bright red suit ram into another guard blocking the door entering into the sitting room. A struggle ensues.

OOC: So what you guys gonna doooo?????????

 

[bruin]

If the entrance isn't completely blocked off, Patrick moves forward and joins the guard, trying to wrestle the man in the red suit down.

OOC: (Grapple +3, trying to pin)

Nick Oppenheimer

Nick stands up and runs into the hallway to see what is happening. Seeing a guard tussle with a man in a red suit and another person running to help him, Nick helps the guard near the door to his feet if possible.

Paul

Paul quickly got up and followed the people coming to see what was happening. He managed to squeeze through and get through the door, seeing the man in the red suit and the men trying to subdue him.

Paul stepped forward some, seeing a man helping a guard to his feet. Cautiously, he asked, "What happened?"
