Exit 23

[ErichDragon]

"It looked like a wolf, but wasn't. I can't explain much better than that, but it stopped us from getting to the cars."

 

[Jarval]

Holding off on my next post until I get a decision from tmart. What's BJ going to do? Try to find a first-aid kit (of which there's bound to be at least one in the rest stop). try to make a break for the cars, or just attempt to stabilise with no gear?

 

[tmart]

BJ rolls his eyes upon seeing the ranger's arms without a medical kit in them, and worse, with more injuries to treat. "Okay, this is where one of you tells me that there was at least a first aid kit in the store. Right?"

 

[ErichDragon]

~Hmm. I am probably most familiar with the store of anyone here.~

"I will find a first aid kit. I'll be right back."

Ben takes off into the store, locating and returning with any medical equipment he can find as soon as possible.

 

[Jarval]

Ben quickly returns from the store with a couple of first-aid kits, allowing BJ to set to work. After a few minutes work, the executives breathing has evened out, as has his pulse. (Treat Injury: 12 + 18 - 2 = 28)

Daunte opens the folder of papers and quickly scans through them. There's a lot of material in the folder, but a heading that appears at the top of several of the papers catches Daunte's eye: The Hoffmann Institute. The majority of the Hoffmann Institute headed paper discusses a reputed cult leader and diabolist by the name of Michel Galvin, his finances, and the sale of his estate following his death. Otherwise, there are copies of a few legal papers to do with the sale the estate, a sketch of the snow globe, and a photograph of the words Les Trieze Corbins written in large, red, rune like letters around a small pentagram.

From the room next door, you all hear a rolling sound, followed by the noise of something wooden hitting a hard surface. John's almost sure he heard a muffled curse following closely after...

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

John jumps at the sound and glances around quickly. "Here, let me look at that," he says quickly, taking a look at the runes, and trying to read them.

ooc: Looks like french, which John knows; Babelfish, however, yielded nothing. Can he read it, either with languages known or with the linguist talent.

 

[Sixchan]

"Uh-oh." Nick lokks to the door, and prepares for anything that might come barging in with hostile intent. "What was that? Should we check?"

 

[tmart]

Having stabilized the executive, BJ asks the ranger, "Um, Mr. Ranger guy, you need those lacerations treated. C'mere and sit down." He binds the wounds and stops Ben's bleeding while only half paying attention, somewhat distracted by the second instance of unexplained noises.

"Um, Mr. Ranger guy, you need those lacerations treated. C'mere and sit down." He binds the wounds and stops Ben's bleeding while only half paying attention, somewhat distracted by the second instance of unexplained noises.

After having his injury treated, Ben will once again draw his revolver and check out the second noise.

"After I check this out, I want everyone back in the donut shop together. Until we figure out what is going on here, I think it is the safest course of action."

John jumps at the sound and glances around quickly. "Here, let me look at that," he says quickly, taking a look at the runes, and trying to read them.

"Um, sure," Daunte says, caught a little off guard. He had been trying to make sense of the documents, and hadn't really expected anyone to be addressing him. Ironically enough, the only thing he understood on those sheets was the legalese. He hands over the papers and then gets to his feet, swinging his light to illuminate the door. "Tell me that that's just a couple of the restaurant patrons bumping into one another in the dark," he pines, his voice a little high from the night's stress.
