Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chimera" data-source="post: 2096355" data-attributes="member: 2002">CoC game set in 1920's England.There is this town in Norfolk(?) that holds a New Orleans Mardi Gras style celebration every year, complete with Crues and floats.  Our group is there to investigate something else that leads us to one of the Crues.We find out that they are building a float dedicated to The King in Yellow (Hastur) and are planning something big during the parade.  Like "Hastur eats the entire town" big.  We manage to break into the building where they are building it and steal some books and stuff, but aren't getting far with anything we can use publicly to shut them down.We find out the name of the guy who is funding the crue and two of us invite him to dine with us at a prominent local place.  Very public.Now, my character, being a Solicitor (Lawyer) had a reasonably high Psychology roll.  The other character present is an actual Psychologist, so hers is even higher.  As we talk to the man, we begin to learn things about him, such as that his wife and children were killed a year or two previous.So I start baiting him with sly comments about his wife and subtle insults, getting him all riled up.  The psychologist player is getting extremely upset with me and telling me OoC to knock it off.BUT.  The guy flips out and attacks me, right there in the restaurant of the hotel.  It takes several others to drag him off me.  He completely loses his composure and threatens to kill me (as if he hadn't already tried), mentioning Hastur by name.  The police are called and the man is taken away - certified as insane by our own good doctor - just one day before the carnival is to occur.Without their patron and centerpiece (and planned public sacrifice), the crue breaks and dissolves.Adventure solved.  No one saw that solution coming!</blockquote>
