Paridon: The Dark Metropolis (Ravenloft)

[Le Noir Faineant]

Snorting, Calahan will put his dagger back and unlock his flamethrowing gun.

"Those of you with guns, prepare to fire" he wispers, only to shout then:

"Kid, here's police officer Kurt Calahan, Paridon special investigations squad. Come out with your hands visibly open and held over your head.
If you don't obey immediately, we will consider this an offensive action and open fire! I repeat, kid, cease resistance or we will open fire!"

'We're not here to hurt you, kid, unless we have to! We just need to talk!" Father Berman quickly adds.

More softly he says "Calahan, if you burn this place down on us with that thing, you're through."

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

"By Hextor, what do you think, Father, I am not going to fire this here unless it comes to the worst!" Calahan's voice almost tumbles as he tries to keep whispering.
"I just want to frighten that kid! As an alternative, why don't we get back upstairs, and simply wait until that gnome comes back? - If the child is hungry, it will come out of its hiding all by itself anyway!"

 

[InVinoVeritas]

. . . tick . . . tick . . . tick . . .

"Does anyone find the tick of that clock a bit unsettling?" asks Perrin, taking a step back toward the stairs.

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

Calahan's eyes narrow, and he reveals his long bleak teeth...

"Did anyone of you know that guard at the door...?"

Then, something seems to trigger in the huntsman's brain...

Roaring like an animal, Calahan hastes back upstairs, ready to fire at anything that comes into his way!

Ru Brike, barbaric human monk

Calahan's eyes narrow, and he reveals his long bleak teeth...

"Did anyone of you know that guard at the door...?"

Then, something seems to trigger in the huntsman's brain...

Roaring like an animal, Calahan hastes back upstairs, ready to fire at anything that comes into his way!

Ru looks baffled as Calahan rushes past him. Moving to follow, he takes in his fellow constables as he calls out,"Are we sure Calahan's not taking weirdroot or visionberries or something?"

 

[industrygothica]

Darian watches curiously as Calahan fumbles back up the stairs. "Unsettling indeed," he says in response to Perrin's question. "We should make sure he doesn't burn the place down. Whatever it is down here can meet us up there, I say." With that, he starts back upstairs.

 

[Rhun]

Perrin nods at Darian, and moves to follow his companion back up the stairs.

"You go up and keep an eye on him" Father Berman says. "I'm going to check this out."

He moves to enter the room with the lit candle. "I'm Father Berman. Who are you?" he inquires of the darkness.
