Masks of Nyarlathotep - Chapter 1: New York City

[Toric_Arthendain]

OOC: I am back from my vacation and will be back to posting regularly. Since Yellow Sign had the Father enter the room running from whatever was coming into the shop upstairs, I'll hold off on posting until others have had a chance to say something.

 

[Yellow Sign]

[OOC: Hey Toric! Glad to have you back. Here is the situation. While waiting upstairs in the shop you hear the sound of wailing coming from downstairs. At that point you also hear the door opening in the shop next door and the lock being opened at the front door of the Ju Ju House. You catch a glimise of a large group of black men coming in through the door in the abandoned shop next door. They are carrying machetes. The front door of the Ju Ju House begins to open. I had you run down stairs to warn the others. If you want to do something else, I can change your action. ]

Thomas grabs the lantern on the floor if there's time, pours it on the creature and lights it. (Grabbing a match from the brothers if he has to)
Is there a way out of this room other than the door?

"Cover the beast if she no burn! We's got company, see! Grab your guns and pull up your knickers. Take careful aim and hold onto your butts, (shorty is refering to cigerret butts) "I feel a fight coming. Bro'ter! I got your back you got mine, see!"

Shorty pulls his brass knuckles out of his pocket and puts them on. He then pulls his Mauser 9mm out of the back of his pants and grinds his teeth cursing himself for leaving the "violin" at home.

"Stay away from the door unless you want to get shot!"

Hamish looks at the door being shut by Father Joe and starts to walk back to his brother. When his brother gives the word though Hamish drops what he was carrying and pulls out his Colt, slipping his knuckles on his other hand and taking aim at the door.

"I'm good ta go bro'ter," he says.

OOC: The actions you gave Joe seem fine to me Yellow Sign.

IC:
At the sight of the brothers pulling their guns, Joe steps away from the door, moving behind those with weapons.

"Bare knuckles aren't much good against men armed with machetes," Joe says, as he takes cover.

Thomas take the lantern that Hamish had taken from the corridor and begins to spill the kerosene over the Thing in the pit. It's cries and wails redouble sending a shiver down the spines of all that can hear it. (Lose 1 Sanity). Thomas remembers that he has a lighter in his pocket and pulls it out as his eyes dart about the room looking for another exit. He sees none.

The heavy door opens and three men with machetes enter the room. More can be seen behind them in the corridor. Hamish recognizes the first as one of the bums he talked to out in the courtyard.

The sound of gunfire momentarly drowns out the cries of the creature as Carter, Shorty, and Hamish fire. The three men jerk and fall.

Father Joe suddenly remembers the short spear in his hands.

[OOC: I gave you a suprise round as the cultist entered the room. ]

Three cultists or bodies of cultists?

"Step forward and she burns!" shouts Thomas at the cultists.
