Masks of Nyarlathotep - Chapter 1: New York City

Shorty is able to jump forward and grab the Professor just as he is about to fall in. Shorty gets a glimise of what lies in the pit though (Sanity loss 2 points) before he can pull the Professor back.

After pulling him away from the edge Shorty begins to slap the professor. "Bro'ter! Get the gear! Were out of here! TEACH WAKE UP WE GOTS TO GO!!!"
 

Hamish blinks and twitches his head about. Not certain that what he's seeing is real he looks at those nearest to him to see their reactions. He twitches again when he sees the horrified looks on their faces. Shorty jumps forward and save the professor from a grizzly fate, at the cost of a glance at what lay below.

"Bro'ter! Get the gear! Were out of here! TEACH WAKE UP WE GOTS TO GO!!!"

"Kay," he says, blinking a few more times then walking away from the hole.

He picks up the things they found and puts them under his arm while heading out.
 

Thomas' gun fires with a thunderous boom in this confined space. The Things wail's intensifiy but Thomas is shocked to see the bullet holes in the creature seal over and disappear after a second or two.

Shorty shakes and tries to awaken Carter from his faint. With a dazed look the Professor's eyes open.

"We could try to smash it with the stone top... Think it is heavy enough bro'ter?" Shorty says after seeing that the Professor is awake.
 


[OOC: Yes the Professor is now awake. I don't know of Toric is back yet so I am going to go ahead and have Father Joe do something.]


Thomas franticly looks around for something that would burn. He remembers the unlite lantern in the corridor.

Short looks at the stone slab and he can tell that it is too big to fit down into the pit.

Father Joe runs into the room. "Quick help me with the door!" he shouts and he pulls the door to the room shut. "There is mob of those cultists right on my heels! Is there anyway to lock this door? And what by all that is holy is that screaming?" The father seems to be almost in a panic.
 

Carter awakens with a start and frantically tries to push the arms holding him away. As his mind begins to clear he sees Shorty standing over him, and he stops his protestations.

"D...d...ear God... did you see it? It was awful...awful..." The professor lowers his head and begins to sob into his chest.

Carter hears Thomas run into the room announcing a mob of cultists on his heels.

Is this how it's going to end? Well if it is, I'll not go gently...

Carter wipes his eyes and his nose on his sleeve, and slowly gets to his feet. He still seems a little unsure of his footing as he reaches for his gun and takes aim at the doorway.
