Those are just... sad. Even though every time I type my name into a computer, the spell checker wants to change it to Genesis.

Who's being the watcher/chanter?

I'm watching I guess.

Hey, thanks for the pronunciation thing. And while I was searching for my answer I realized that you talked about me here. Don't worry I can't join because I have very little time to do anything right now. And for the next few months because of school.

The chanters are:

• J Man

• Lazy

• Celes

• Ecurt

• Krylo

• Spirit

And everyone who is not a chanter is a watcher, or IHMN, who is dead.

• I like bulleted lists *easily amused*

Being easily amused is a good thing. At least you're never bored.

And I think Jad's three take the cake for bad names...

I know a person named Phuc...

Is that pronounced like I think it would? Am I the only person that doesn't know someone with a bizarre name? All the people I know have normal names...

Hurry up and finish it already... I want my guy (Who theoretically can kill any of your characters) to get into this...

First, chill.

Second, I saw what you had before edited it...

Third, try to kill an investigator, and you getting mauled with no chance of return. And you overrate your skills....

I'm not going to try (Hence the "theoretically"), and no one has magic, mostly rifles, 99% dodge...

Yes, in relation to the party, you are untoucable, but the supernatural is another story. There are quite a few spells that would negate your dodge skill, even for one round, and without dodge your guy is below average in rating.

And yes you do have a high POW, but there are spells that ignore POW, thus leaving you screwed.

Well... he could kill one of us... but there's more than two of us with guns. Thus he kills one, two more shoot at him, he dodges one bullet and takes another in the chest.

Can only dodge one bullet per round... so he's not even untouchable in relation to the party.

I think he meant one on one. And evne then he is screwed, all he needs it to face someone with a gun that shoots more then once per round, and he's dead. Can't shoot while your dodging like a maniac...

I'm not talking about the super natural. To the super natural, we are mere mice (All of us, together).

And (if not for stats), any pistol wielder could take out a large chunk of this group as long as they hit the pistol people first. But with stats, any one who even tries is screwed.

Edit - I'll shot first. I don't remember the rifle stats, but I think my guy is at least one of the best gun wielders.

not like that matters in CoC. Or did you miss the part about combat skills being mostly useless.

Dex 18, you shoot first.

Dual wield, you have a penalty to shoot, although not as big a one as usual since your Handgun is over 60%.

You can get off 4 shots in one round. Depending on the arena you fight in depends on whether this would be an advantage or not.

You are dangerous, but not invincible. A cultist with Impeccable Throw could nail you with a piece of dynamite and end you investigating career real quick. A team could kill you easy. One on one against another human, you are hard to kill without an area of effect weapon.

No guarantee you'll kill, hit, or even knock out someone with a single bullet though. Most guns are only 1D6+x damage. A bad roll or two and they survive... or they get lucky on a dodge... then they shoot back twice per round.


Also: I want to know what kinds of creatures there are going to be...

I know combat skills are useless. Dodge is a survival skill though, and very useful.

And those things could kill anyone...

I can't say. There is a basic monster list, but in scenarios I read, they also make up monsters on the fly. I can't give you a concrete number.

Well... maybe if it didn't kill people and eat their hearts we wouldn't be trying to seal it. It's all its own damn fault... stupid thing.

Are there any good demons? If so, can I have one as a pet (Later)?

There are no "good" demons, but you can temperarily use a Bind spell to force monsters you summon to do your will. Nothing I can think of would make a good pet though even if you Bound it, only a good battle servent.

J Man, the ceremony lasts 2 Hours total.

so how many people do we expect to lose?

Everyone but me...

Well, most of the problems are sanity threats at first. And if any of you go insane, this will be one of those times when I would roll and tell you what to do, because if you get a freak out and run away roll, you would most likely run outside and get munched.

The second portion is the real Physical threats. The threat isn't too horrible, but there will be more nasty sanity losses, and a surprise I have ready. However there will also be a sanity reward for surviving this round.

The last portion is a combination of the first two. The last will have the greatest danger of an instant death type scenario, and you will know when we reach it. Some quick posting may be needed at that point because of what will happen and how it will be handled.

EDIT: We are almost at the end of portion one.

so he's trying to stink us to death?

Apparently.

By chance, are these fumes flamable?

*Pyromaniac twinkle in eyes*

Partially. He is doing anything possible to disrupt the ceremony for even a second, since if all the chanters fail a sanity roll at once, basically it would be a halt in the chant, and a failure.

EDIT: No, thy are not. Why, want to blow up everyone in the house, freeing the Lurker and failing your first mission? (Not to mention needing everyone to roll a new character...)

My personal opinion says this...


We are so damn screwed.

Can we have someone jump in to help out the chanters, especially one who speaks latin?

I think someone should just try to protect the chanters from goop.

A little late now.

Yes. You would need to replace a chanter, but you can do that. Say the chanter your replacing here first so I can approve it (Unless they are online, then you should ask them), and you can do it in the RP.

And I may wait for later/more people for the next part since this is the part were people will really need to get involved again...

I just noticed...I have the second lowest sanity.

And my guy's A CRIMINAL LAWYER.

*sigh* Where's my rail-gun.....

For myself of course. Not to kill anyone. Really.

*PSSS* JADGuy, who are you replacing since there are only 6 papers...

I'll replace Celes. She's about to go psychotic anyway.

I'll allow it. Update.

I think you have to lose that much sanity in a single check... so she shouldn't be going psycho... but having her as a watcher would be bad. She doesn't have any combat skills at all. She'd be eaten the minute she tried to protect anyone.

No, it is built up over a 1 hour period of time. After one hour, sanity points lost record begin to drop back off. She could always hide out in the house somewhere shen she gets back online and wait for the banishing.

In the crab clan of l5r they had a corp of watchers their entire training was how to scream really loudly. so that the other combat trained ones woulld know where the attack was coming from.

Sure... but see... we're not expendable. That's the difference.

Well, we ARE... but we shouldn't be to each other. So we shouldn't send someone out and be like "Scream really loud if something starts eating you."

Well, if you use this as your plan...

well it's up to her what she does. We need to maintain the chant and if she keeps failing she's going to freak out and get someone killed probably her.

I say stick her in the basement with the corpse, and have a watcher at the door. She should be safe down there... assuming the corpse doesn't start moving.

(curse going out ot eat, I miss the most interesting stuff)

How many more points do I have to lose before I go insane?

...One.

Yikes, then it might be good if somebody takes over for her, or at least joins in to take her place if she suddenly goes insane.... (since, realistically, she'll go insane anyway, since she'll be in the same room, so if there's somebody there to take her place when/if she does, then it will all be the same.

1. JADGuy took over your place.

2. An hour is about to pass, and you will be back to five points again.

3. The interesting stuff will start up again soon. Many of the people are dropping off in posting and not doing anthing, so when the RP goes to the second mission, I may drop some people.

Alright. Jad can take her place until she gets the 5 points back when a hour passes. (I hope nobody dies)

Which is why I say we put her in the basement where the only creepy thing is a covered body.

But you never know if there might be something else down there... scary.... that might kill her....

... You do remember they all went down there to get that box earlier right? And just to tell you now, there aren't any other ways in or out of the basement but the stairs.

And there aren't any more hobos waiting to strike either...

Yah, the only way anything bad would happen in the basement would be if David's body got up and started craving brains...

You aren't chanting at all any more Celes, he took your paper (Chanters are reading off paper) and is now chanting.

David's body should do that. But no crappy slow zombies, he should be a Dawn of the Dead zombie.

One of the watchers should lead her into the basement... she doesn't seem to be in any state of mind to conciously think about how much safer the basement would be, and go there. Plus it would seem cowardly if she went of her own volation instead of someone else suggesting it. I'd do it... but Frankie is kind of chanting... and has the best record as far as dodging sanity checks so far.

Fixed it. And don't worry about her going to the basement. She's not going unless somebody forcibly "suggests" that she goes. I would feel bad if the only reason I lived (if I even would) is because I hid. (kinda like what Krylo said)

Plus, in all horror movies, the person to hide, is the person to die...

Alright, then prepare for Phase Two...

Yeah, and in all horror movies, the first guy to stick his head in something doesn't die, but the next one does. Did that happen though?

Yeah, but your guy did do the classic, "You wimps, there's nothing to fear" right before he died, so that evens it out.

Someone is going to go out there to help and get killed, aren't they?

Can't say if this is a potential ally or a trap. Discuss it in the RP In Character, after Celes tells you guys about it...

Remember the horror movie rules. We finish the ritual then see what's outside.

By then the monster might spot and kill the person.

I can't discuss it in the RP, I have to chant... besides, it doesn't matter if it's an ally or not. The thing can get out there, and OBVIOUSLY wants us all dead...

SS, you DO know that could be murder, and that there might be a police investigation after this whole mess is over...

I vote that FZ should be cruel, and if the group leaves the thing out there to die (And it does), it should have been an ally. If they go out to help it, it should be an enemy.

Edit - Police invesigation anyway. David was a detective, he is now dead, they are going to go see what happened (Especially with his odd deatH)

I actually think that SS's idea is a good one. KILL HIM, KILL HIM!

Actually, it is already set as an ally or enemy, now it's just up to the RPers if they want help or not.

Urge....to stab........IHMN.........rising........*gets out pocket knife* *is getting ready to fail sanity check*

He's already dead. What are you going to do, kill him more?

Yes, thank you very much.

I say we let him die... but DO NOT SHOOT HIM THROUGH THE WINDOW! In the journal it said the wards were carved in the windows... so let's just break some wards to let the thing in.

Seriously though... he's an ally and he dies, oh well... at least it wasn't us. It's a trap and we go out there to rescue him, and we lose some people with no return. I say we play it safe.

Edit: Also, J-Man... I have a pocket knife on Frankie, that he nabbed from David's body... I should have him give it to your character.

<.<

>.>

>.<

Well, there goes my kill the unknown plan.

You know, FZ could be very cruel and make the guy out there Dave...

And then we'd only lose another of your characters. Still no big deal.

Now that would be just sadistic... Thanks for the idea IHMN!

Nah, I won't do that.

Demon, Discussion, Now, WTF do you plan on doing?

Quite FZ. Let him do what he wants.
