[CoC] Nocturnum -- Part I - Chapter 1 Snowflake Valey [Completed]

Evening of Arrival--Day 0

[OOC: Psychoanalysis is a trained only and only Ray has it. 2 bad for you :D]

Ross glides down next to the lady on the ground and talks a bit to her.. to no avail. Her state remains the same.

In the meanwhile two men have come running up the stairs and are speeding down the hall. The desk guy and someone in a suit, presumably the Hotel Manager. Hasted and tired they slow down next to you as they whipe of a few pearls of sweat from their foreheads.

What's the matter? We heard a scream downstairs, is she hurt? Kurt could yo please see which room Mrs. Hesley is staying and pleaase take care that her little boy doesn't see her like this.

Sure thing sir.

The desk guy runs off back down the hallway.
The manager lowers himself a bit and looks the woman in the eye.

What happened Mrs. Hesley? What did you see that got you this upset?

The poor old woman can't do anything but raise a trembling hand towards the door of room 212. The manager gets up and looks into the room and steps back shocked for a bit.

In my Hotel.. well have I ever... The police need to hear of this. Gentlemen, Kurt will be right back. I hope you can take care fo the lady in the meanwhile.

The manager heads down the hallway and disappears somwhere along it down the stairscase.

[Spot check of Ross, 20 -1 = 19.]

Ross as you peek inside the room as the maanger opens it you seem to notice that the bed is still made, the drawers are all still closed, and remember that the briefcsae was still in its hiding place. While his room is in serious disarray it doesn't seem to have been searched. While you turn yuor eye away you spot something lying under the edge of the bed... When you get up and take a closer look you identify it as an ear...

[Sanity check, rolled 2, no sanity loss.]

Ray will continue to work on calming the woman down. Hey, can some onr get the lady a glass of water? Ray turns back to her. Mrs. Hennesy? I'm Ray Spacy. I understand your fright. the authorities are here and looking in to this. Do you know where you are?
 

"An ear. . . . . . . . .Dear lord." Is about all that Ross can muster to say. Ross has seen alot of stuff in his life on the force, but something about this ear is a bit more than un nerving.

"Should we check the room before the dumputy shows up Ray?" Ross whispers to Ray.
 

Dude don't bother me now. Ask Doc or James. Ray gets back to working on the woman. He leads her into their small bed room. (assuming the briefcase is in the larger one.)

Ray you do as so and you set to work on her, attempting to talk some sense into her and snap her out of her shock. She still isn't responding to your questions and continues to ramble on about what she saw.

Ross you get doc while Jason and James continue to rumble with the briefcase and try to make something out of what the hell they just did...
You take a carefull look around the room but draw the same conclusion as Ross did as he peeked in. You also spot the ear, it seems the explanation where all the blood came from.

[The Law will show up in about 15 minutes IC time. If noone does anything what they aren't doing already I'll resolve it later after dinner.]

"If the missing ear is the source of all this blood, then mabey the guy is still alive?! I am going to go look for him out the window."

Unless anyone says otherwise Ross heads over to the window and carefully looks out to see if he can see anything.

Ross slowly makes his way towards the window, drawing another trail through the pink snow. He gazes out of the window and peers into the darkness but sees nothing but the pitchblack of the abyss down below him and the blinding white of the swirling snow. He takes a look up and through the clouds he catches a glimpse of a full moon. It sends a shiver down his spine. He walks back out of the room without any new findings.

Ray spends the remaining 10-15 minutes alone with her (until the law arrives) but fails to make any sense out of the womans shocked ramblings. AFter 5 minutes orso she merely collapses onto the bed in a stupor.

[Will resolve the law later tonight, have to study as well :p]

OOC: 10-15 minutes, eh? OK.

Jason will carefully search the briefcase for anything that may have survived... that doofus probly set off a trap when he tried opening it earlier! Oh well. If he finds nothing, He'll take his time hiding it carefully (In case the cops decide to try pinning all this on HIM, like they usually do).

OOC: Take 20 to search it, IF nothing then take 20 to hide it and head out to the hall with everyone else. IF something in it, check that out and hide the briefcase. (In both cases, I'll try to lock the briefcase shut again)
