[d20 Cthulhu] What Rough Beast... (Part I)

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Randy what the-"

*Suddenly the significance of Randy's last statement sinks in, and Ray's eyes widen*

*He walks quickly out of the kitchen, and goes to the hallway outside of the office. He puts his hand inside his coat and grabs his cell phone.*

 

[The Crimster]

Kristof's eyes bulge for a moment as he realizes what Randy's fears are. He then lightly grabs Julia by the arm and says in a calm voice, "Julia, let's go upstairs for a moment, if you don't mind. We just want to make sure you're safe." She nods quietly at Kristof, who begins leading her upstairs. A thin sheen of sweat breaks out on Kristof's forehead, and he looks nervously at the group.

Sam quickly follows behind Randy and pulls out his gun from under his jacket. He slides silently along the wall opposite the study, making small and quiet steps. His head swivels to Randy, and he gives a brief nod, and then turns back to the door - gun at the ready in the classic police officer stance.

Dr. Silver, with his eyes wide, follows along and fishes his cellular phone out of his jacket.

OOC: It seems like this is the second time today that you've done this. <smirks> Waiting for Alex, then I'll post move.

 

[Anabstercorian]

Alex tosses on the heaviest winter gear he can find in Julia's closet, and brings some over to the others. He speaks in a soft but firm voice. "Put these on - They might slow down the bees, if there are any in there."

Kristoff and Julia are now upstairs, walking quietly.

Alex brings over some heavy jackets he finds in the front closet. He speaks in a soft but firm voice. "Put these on - They might slow down the bees, if there are any in there."

Randy, you put your ear gently to the study door. Barely - just barely - over the sound of the rain and thunder - you can hear a sort of... shuffling sound. As if someone or something is moving across the floor of the study, uncaring about the paper strewn about. For a moment, you could have sworn you heard something else. A mumbling, perhaps. Or maybe it was just the wind...

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Ray speaks, the barest thread of a whisper*

"Do you hear anything?"

*If yes, Ray puts up a restraining hand, then quickly goes to the kitchen to get something blunt and heavy. A rolling pin will do. Once aquired, he'll go back and be ready to back up Sam and Randy.*

*He thinks to himself, "I so wish I had my gun right now..."*

 

[Spoof]

Randy will hold up one finger and then nod at the door. He looks at Sam and nods.

In a quite whisper to Sam “You ready?”

Randy will put his hand on the knob and prepare to turn the handle and fling the door open. As soon as Sam is ready I will do this. Randy will smile at Ray but refuse the jacket (if there are any bees he is not sure he is going to go in there anyway) and wave the civilians back.

 

[The Crimster]

Randy puts his hand on the doorknob, prepared to fling it open. He and Sam look to each other and a silent type of communication passes between then. They have been trained for this in similar but different ways. Dr. Silver hefts a rather heavy rolling pin gathered from the kitchen. Alex, bundled up in a winter coat, looks at the door with a bit of apprehension. Sam merely stands perfectly still, gun at the ready, as if waiting for a target at a shooting range to pop up.

With a nod, Randy turns the knob.

It's locked.

You do not know for certain, but it is possible that whatever is on the inside may have heard you try the knob.

OOC: I could have assumed an action on your part Randy, but I didn't want to jump the gun on you.

 

[Spoof]

Randy Morrison.

Well then without a doubt I will kick the door down, or at least attempt it. I will also ask Sam to assist me or I can assist him, which ever would work better. As always I will keep my weapon at the ready.

If that does not work then 1 shot into the lock to destroy it then kick it open.

 

[Anabstercorian]

Alex gets low (crouches) and lets the heavies barge in. He'll move in later if it looks safe. If guns start going off, he'll move out of the line of fire.

*Ray is prepared to let the more experienced Sam and Randy go in first, and just provide back-up in the form of a blunt object to the head of anyone hostile if things go wrong*
