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

[The Forsaken One]

As soon as the flames start licking the ceiling of the cellblock, you see that it is time to leave. With the last howl echoing over the snowy plain, Ross now unlocks the cells and you make your way out of the office. Outside Ross halts for a moment and he runs back in to take a fire extinguisher but the fire is spreading rapidly and his fight against the flames is noble but in vain. When he throws his extinguisher down and readies himself to get his sorry ass out of that abatoir he spots the thing he noticed before, the guncabinet. With time pressing and the inferno around him growing ever in intensity he grabs a chair and smashes the cabinet. He dives back into the Sheriff's office thinking there is still time to search it for supplies... and there just might be...

Outside Doc turns around and with a look of terror in his face he looks at the growing inferno envelloping the Office building. Knowing Ross is somewhere in still in that blazing red hot piece of bloody hell. Ray standing next to him they just watch and wait, hoping.

Two minutes later, after Ross went back in, a shape carrying two shoulder bags leaps through the frontal flames, through what once was the front window. Flames licking at his heels Ross launches himself in a great leap through the inferno. He lands in the snow, "well done". He drops the two bags and falls over tired into the snow. The two bags he was carrying appear to be containing: two 12g shotguns, two revolvers, some shells, revolver ammo, two handcuffs, two Kevlar vests, some nightsticks and some morphine.

Meanwhile James, searching the squadcars for something to arm himself with has dug up some of the medical supplies from both squad cars. Which he is carrying over to Doc's car.

Ross! Oh if you were a chick i'd bang you right now! Ray runs over to him to see if he is injured. You are the Santa Claus of my dreams. Ray opens the bags and takes a gun and ammo.

James places the goods in Doc's vehicle, then eyes a revolver greedily.

"Yummy," he says, "I'll help myself to one of those perdy (insert revolver name here). Manage to recover any quickloaders?"

 

[Shapermc]

*Cough cough* "It was nothing Ray. Please never say that you will "bang" me again. . . please." Ross takes out one of the 12g out of the bag and hopes that it is a Mossberg M590 pump action shotgun, 6 shell capacity shot gun. He takes the shotgun and loads it to maximum capacity with shells and then slings it over his shoulder.

"Jason, where is Jason! Bring him here." After Jason is near ross he begins to administer the morphine. "That should help him recover quickly. Now I need to make a call." Ross pulls his cell phone out of his pocket and dials Thomas' phone number.

"Tom! . . . Yep . . .I know what time it is, just be quiet and listen. Remember this town that I am stuck in . . . well all the local law are slaughtered. ... No not by me, look it was a . . . something! I don't mean to shout I just <sigh> look just send some state troopers from this area this way if they can make it. But don't tell them of the Sherrif and his Deputy. I will explane that when they get here... I know this is strange, but you know me, I would only ask for your help if I need it... THanks I owe you." *<Click...Beep>*

Ross ponders for a moment about their options. 'What the hell is this thing. Who the hell is this thing. This is reality not some movie or TV show. This is not a fu*king story out of a book. This is a world of ups and downs blacks and whites. . . but how then can I explane this. Is it really a warewolf? My bullets seemed to do no damage. Do you really need solver bullets then? Or was that a stake throught the. . . no that was dracula. But what if. . . when if. . .thi makes no sence my world is now upside down. To figure out more of the beast or track him down and kill him. If we track him we'll all most likely die, but then the rest of the town should be safe. But he only seems to be going after us. But what about the first ones that it killed. They werent with us. . . I am so confused, but our safety is first and foremost, and Jason. . .'

"Alright guys, after we find James we need to bar ourselves into a room, house, hotel, anything! and just wait for the big guns and explain every thing to them. . . Unless someone else has a plan..."

OOC: TFO I just went back and edited my last 2 post so they fit better with what has happen please read the last changes made to for my actions so that it makes more sence. Also what kind of guns did I get and can I get an ammo count? A box of shells holds usually 20 and a Mossberg is a standard good US shotgun that is pump action sideloading and holds 6 shells [p.99 CoC book in the equiptment chapter] so 1-2 box's grabed for shells seems pretty realistic to me . Anyways I just wanted to let you know that I edited the post for continuity.

[So just pulled that out of somewhere, hope it's ok and reasonable. You'll encounter alot of strange stuff that has some effects that you'll say "huh does it do that? Cool! or Sh*t and why the hell does it do that?" But consider that my GM's influence and some stuff and alot of stuff might function different from time to time so you might be surprised when you think something isn't working out or effecting something as it usually does or is supposed to do. I use the rules quite loosely since I see them as a mere guideline to base my own rules upon. But you'll see that when it comes. CoC leaves soo many options open to the players to explore or craft or use for whatever reason so I might be forced to deal with some stuff in a rather strange way but let's say that keeps things interesting ]

[Nice Rping Shaper! And Jemal, you're at negative but back concious and among the living, you are very, repeat very weak and can hardly talk if not at all.. just a bit of mumbling. But you'll be ok if all goes well... and it seems like a very big if indeed.]

[James is at Doc's car with Doc and Jason waiting for you two love birds to join them so you can get out of here and flee the scene. The question is merely where. I'll let you post and respond with Doc after that. /OOC]

 

[Jemal]

As Jasons eyes open two thoughts occur to him... "Wheress.. where's my gun?" He looks up at the blazing building and arround at his haggard friends. "And what the f*ck happened?" He lays his head back, exhausted from his 'lenghty' speech and wondering if it would be better to just fall unconscious again.

 

[Shapermc]

"Hang in there Jason!' Ross says comfortingly as he lets Jason heavily lean on him as the go towards the vehicle.

"Ray! Common SpaceCadet lets get the hell out of here!" He shouts turning back to Ray when Ross arives at the vehicle. He gets in and turns to Doc. "We need to head for the roads out of town, see if any have cleared up. If not It gives us time to figureout another plan while putting some speed and distace between us and the. . . the. . . beast. If anyone is feeling a bit hurt, pop one of these" Ross shows everyone the pain killers. "It will take the bite off of the pain now, and in the future."

Ross tilts his head back and pops 2 of the suckers and then swollows deeply with the saliva that he built up for a bit in his mouth. Blachhch

 

[Argent Silvermage]

I really think we need to get back to the Hotel. The werewolf is one of the people there. Ray gets in the car I need more time to fit the few pieces together but I think I have some pieces in place. But we need to get to the hotel and get the rest of our stuff. Besides I'm missing Dharma and Greg.

"Yeck, I hate these old revolvers! At least we're armed though, and Jason's on the road to recovery," James says while loading.

He waits beside the car keeping a cautious eye out until the others are in.
