[CoC] Nocturnum -- Part I - Chapter 2 The Madness of the Twilight Queen

OOC: I'm finally done reading. I wasnt able to read it earlier as I'm trying to start up my own company and I was doing some translating work for another company.

I'm now torn between two choices. Taking over the roll of Doc or taking a new character. I do not really like the character of doc, as he's too passive for my means and I do not know his history.. But choosing a new character will mean I'm not part of the original group that went trough all of the other horrors.

I'll discuss with TFO later.

As the wooden doorknob slides into James' hand the rest of the group gangs up closely behind him. Pulling out his own pistol Jason prepares to ready himself and protect the others for what might encrouch upon them now...

Pushing Ross a little bit back while getting the safety of his pistol, James now firmly clutches the doorknob... takes a deep breath... But as he just wants to confront whatever is outside of this door and see that it's just all some prank or drug gang of frat boys stalking the halls and scaring girlls... A loud bang sounds as something bumps against the door...

The beating sound stops.

.....

Quiet falls over the room as everyone holds their breath for a second and all stumble back afraid when a metal pick suddenly pierces the wood of the door with a loud bang. Caught by surprise and all scared the hell out by this crap by that something that is pulling this sh*t a small piece of the door flies through the room and a few feet from the door it clashes against one of the tables.

The blade of an axe flashes brightly in the light for a moment and through the hole you see some arms and shapes move in the dark hall and little but dirty clothes are revealed in the small beam of light that falls through the hole in the wood that separates you from them...

Many moans suddenly sound through the door, ten maybe more? And another blow of the pick send a piece of the door flying...

They are comming.

"Gotta force them back. Make a path," James says, and looks around for a fire extinguisher, "Shooting them all isn't advisable, disorientating them and making them flee would be a bit better."

If he finds a fire extinguisher he goes up to the door and sprays the contents through in a pause between the swings of the axe. Otherwise he'll try to find a big heavy object and get someone to help him move it in front of the door.
 


Ray will look arounf the room to see if there is any to make a rope with so they can break out a window and escape that way. Doc! look out the windows. Tell me what you see.
 

His eyes glancing through the room in a faint panic Ray finds no rope in eye sight. Quickly Ray runs for the cabinet and starts pulling out some drawers and flinging open some of the closet doors but to no apparent avail...

And another two strikes blows holes in the door...

Hmm Mr. Spacey...

A slightly trembling voice of the old man reaches Ray's ears and he peeks over one of the cabinet doors that he's trashing in his frantic search at the moment.

There's a small ledge running on the outside... a feet orso wide...

A ten whole seconds later a bit muffled sound comes from inside the small office room in the lab. Half chocked by the slamming of the metal against the door. No other hole appears as the axe has seem to sprang from the door as it was swung against it in the wrong way, just a loud clash of metal against the door bears witness to that.

A pipe runs over here just a yard orso to the side of this window in the office. It seems to run all the way down... Hmmm... I'm just an old man and not all that about heights but always better then god knows how many freaks with axes! I miss my Mary but I'm in no rush to see her again that soon!

Ray's eyes get a bit more calm. Brilliant! To the windows guys. Ray will take off his jacket and use the sleeves to tie his belt to Jas's belt just incase he is not strong enough to get down the pipe by himself. This is no way for "Ray and the Diskettes"" to die. (Good goddess i've been dieing to use that joke.)
 

"Okaly dokaly," James says, and doesn't open fire with the extinguisher, "We can save this for later. I'll go last, just in case they need to be held at bay."

James waits with the others by the window, opting to go last in case they break through the door. He's a lot calmer now that he knows they're only people, but that doesn't stop him being confused as to why a mob of junkies would attack them.

James' voice sounds through the room barking his answer and Jas reacts almost immediatly. While Jas runs for Doc and his Uncle Ray in the office as fast as he can make his way through the couple of tables but in his haze and hurry stumbles into one, trips and gets up again...

A certain small reaches the nostrils of James Hale... a certain odor of unwashed bodies and male sweat mingling with another strange smell.... It seems so familiar...

But Doc's voice reaching his ears reminds him of the haste and time pressure that's on them...

Hey Hale and Mr. Ross! What's the holdup! Let's go!

Shrugging Ross snaps out of the same state as James and he looks aside to see James looking at him. The smell of urine now reaches their noses through the damned other stench and both their eyes lower only to see a wet spot on the floor and some of it heading for the office... Someone seriously wet his pants here and couldn't keep it together...
 

Jason stands by the window, keeping the door covered. "I'll follow once you're all through, lets just keep it moving fast." he says, making sure the safety's off and aiming at the door, to fire at the first thing through that looks threatening. (Other than a weapon)
