Masks of Nyarlathotep: Chapter 1.5 (New York City)

Standing on top of the trap door to make sure no zombies can come up the stairs, Jibril spins around, aiming his gun at the door, ready to fire if he doesn't like what he sees there.

Acting purely on instinct, William hurls himself towards one of the walls and grabs the first weapon that meets his eye. Brandishing the... whatever it is, he spins to face the door.
 

Charles looks at his hand as if it is the hand of some other person altogether; for a brief moment, he just stands there, slackjawed. Then, everything seems to catch up to him in a rush. He bends down, a snarl on his feature, his fist in a ball still and he hisses. "Next time I won't go so easy on ya. Now talk!"
 

Father O'Malley relazes for a bit, ou of breath after hauling the LT. up the stairs. He leans against teh counter, trying to catch his breath. He jumps at the sound of the door and quickly glances around for a weapon.
 

Adrenaline pumping in his veins, Charles yells at the man on the ground. But after closer inspection he sees that the man is unconscious. Miriam calls out for Father O'Malley as she sees two men go into the Ju-Ju House. She catches the glint of a pistol in one of the men's hands.


William turning a the sound of the front door opening quickly grabs a heavy walking stick from a stand near the counter. Jack grabs a heavy box and drags it over the trap door. From outside you hear what appears to be Miriam calling out. The room is dimly lit from the lantern in Jacks hand but you all see two men come in through the front door. With scowls on their faces the two black men pull out weapons. One has another of the long bladed bush knives and the other a heavy looking revolver. Snarling guttural curses they charge! Jibril's and the attacker's guns go off almost at the same time. A carved mask explodes next to William as the man's shot barely misses him. Jibril's shot hits home as the knife wielding man drops dead in his tracks. Father O'Malley grabs a wooden carved elephant as a weapon.

Charles looks up to Miriam, "He's out, Miriam!" He then notices that Miriam is not looking at him, but rather, something else altogether. He follows the line of her eyes and just catches a glimpse of the armed men entering the building. Then, he hears shots fired and races into the building, his heart pounding in his ears...
 

Hoping he still has a shot left, Jack turns and kneels behind the counter and uses the countertop to brace his shot. But through the darkness, he can only catch flashes of bodies and for fear of hitting one of his friends, looks for some kind of weapon to use. Then, with his pistol in his left hand, fires into the air as he charges, hoping the sound of the bullet might cause a distraction.
 

William runs towards the black man, hefting his new-found walking stick menacingly. He flinches slightly at the sound of Jack's gun -- even after time at war, you're still never fully used to hearing a gun go off near your head -- and lashes out at the man, hoping to land a solid blow on him.
 

Jibril fires at the remaining assailant, as long as he's got a clear shot. Otherwise, he shouts at the man, in Arabic and English, "Drop it! Get down on the Floor!" (Intimidate?)
