Hmm, I wonder how much sanity loss Man-Faye pcitures wuld rate?

More then I want to think about...

Alright, J Man is sitting this mission out, and will jump into the next one.

I meant right, not left.

Ah, hold on and I'll update that then.

Dante, you are in the first left room. The radio is in the first right room. Your guy seems to always be everywhere...

Buh. Confusing layouts... Will edit.

EDIT: Wasn't that confusing after all.. I'll leave it as it is. In the meantime.. must sleep. It's 2 in the morning my side.

Go in! Go into the church! Preferably now... so you'll be done in there and at least one of you will have survived and gotten out to tell Frankie that it's not a good idea to go in.

Err... I mean... there's probably mythos books and spells in there, yah... spells! Spells are good.

You didn't attach anything FZ...

ANd could you make some of the other characters look in the rest of the doors? I don't want Dave looking in at every door..

I doubt there is anything able to kill us living there, other than a hobo.

*Cough* Forgot the attachment, there you go, fixed it.

EDIT: Fine fine IHMN. I'll have the ohters investigate, but you will be assumed to be following behind them.

Don't worry IHMN... I'm 90 percent sure that at noon (that's what time it is for you) the only dangerous things will be in the basement. Just don't open THAT door, and you should be fine.

Also: FZ, what year/month in 1920 is this? I'm just wondering because I know that we pass full months in between investigations... and it'd be nice to keep track of the date... in case something useful is invented one of these years.

Well, just as a random time, it is... October, 1928. Since roughly one month passes between investigations, the specific day/week isn't important. Month will also be important later once you start casting spells.

We need to know the months so we know what we are wearing... You never know when a coat might be useful.

Hellboy might be relevent, Since Rasputin seemed to be trying to summon elder gods.

Agh, damnit, I haven't seen that yet! I really want to too. I need to see it this weekend on my Spring Break.

Its worth the price. And it could be logical seeing that nobod really knows if Rasputin died since they never found the body... I mean he was poisoned (according to legend he was one hell of a drinker and he liked te poisoned beverage so much he wanted more...) Shot,Stabbed,hung and finally drowned.

Actually they did. They found the body later, and an autopsy revealed he didn't die of being shot, stabbed, hung, or poisoned... He suffocated from being underwater and being unable to breathe. He was one hard man to kill...

Learn something new everyday. But still you got to admit he was one tough sonofabitch.

Oh yeah, and I forgot he was clubbed unconscious... twice... He was just insane. I don't know how anyone could take all that and live.

If I remember correctly, he was a bad influence, so they tried to poison him during a meeting with him. That didn't work, so someone came in and shot him. When they checked the body, he ran, so they chased him and clubbed him unconscious, and stabbed him. When they were trying to decide what to do, he revived and actually ran outside before he was clubbed unconscious again. Then they decided to throw him in the river, thinking he was dead, so they did. They threw him in a river, in Russia, I think during the winter, meaning he was in possible sub-zero temperatures. And he died only because he couldn't get air under the ice! That's just not natural man...

Who is this guy? Seems intresting...

That was what happened. I read it in a history book over a year ago, so the details were fuzzy, but I was mostly correct, although I could have sworn they found the body later and determined what he died of, cause I thought it was crazy that of all the things that happened, he died of asphyxiation...

Sounds like he had 18 con and size...

Heh. But his Int was probably insane as he was. Local legends abound that in his most humble beggining he would do readings for the locals. In one such this person stole something from another man outside and raputin was able to tell that he did, only he wasn't in that general area. Weird huh? I would like totake a look a some of those "prophecies" they probably are nothing but it my be interesting to see what the man was thinking what would be going on today...

Are you kidding? He was illiterate. He spent most of his time boozing it up and making out with prostitutes. For the most part he was a sham, but he seemed to have some sort of skill with making the young prince, who suffered from hemophelia, actually better if he ever hurt himself since he couldn't heal himself properly.

*cough*

Could someone inform me of Neil's whereabouts?

And what's happened?

And how to beat a DDR addiction?

1) No idea

2) Stuff

3) Play with your male friends, then when they laugh and insult you, you will stop.

Well, other then the fact that you NEARLY GOT BOOTED FROM THE RP, welcome back.

The combat group is at the house.

Frankie is in route to an abandoned church.

Ted and Marcus have just fallen through the floor in the abandoned church.

You are in the combat group.

Anything else you can pick up as you go, or go back and read for history on why everyone is where they are...

Psychic Readings. You know like Jon Edwards(only Jon edwards is a bigger scam than rasputin.) I know this because I got him for my biography paper in high school. And your are extremely correct on the word prostitutes in the plural form. From what I mostly gathered he was a really lucky drunk who was to smart(ass) for his own good.

Prett much from what I know as well. And John Edwards is just laughable how fake that all is.

Who is John Edwards?

Though whoever he is, I'm guessing he does the thing where he gives a real general question (Some one you loved has died recently to old people), then just builds off on that with more general questions (South Park did an episode on it).

Edwards's questions are slightly less general, but he gives them to a room full of people.

"I'm seeing... a f... did someone in this half of the audience, which has 20 people in it know someone with an f anywhere in their name, or a name that has a sort of f soundingish thing to it? No... ok, maybe it was coming from this part of the audience..."

Only he tends to break that up into more than one statement... but yah.

Ahh, I need to fix the Team Status Sheet.

Alright I am going to teach you all how to do the mythical 8th impression technique of the rising sun! *Dramatic Lens Flare* The Cold Reading! For free!

Alright for this all you need is at least one person that you somewhat know(Prefreably a little gulliable), sunglassess, time and most importantly a place to sit down for the other person ( a table is optional). Now first and for most do not take of the sunglassess. You must observe the person like a hawk without them noticing! Next after they sit down first do this talk to the person and tell them simple stuff like " You are a very astute person who has a few very close friends but when they find new ones they push them out." generally stuff you have observed from them. Now eventually they are going to move either there hands or their arms. Keep telling this while you notice what they do. Every person has signals that say when they are going to move. You just have to notice them. As soon as one of these signals is Identified tell them smething like " you are going to move your arm." or " If I am boring you, you don't have to move your arms around I'll stop." Then if they stop they will know that they wanted to move the arm, but didn't either way the person will think that its amazing. After that the person will probably believe whatever bullshit you say.

Or, you can horribly fail by saying, "You won't lie to your girlfriend again. The power of Christ compels you, the power of Christ compels you."

Gack. Where am I? Been heavily distracted recently...

I say we take any and all sharp objects from the kitchen and back to the mansion or some junk yard, just in case.

Combat group. If anyone asks, they are in the combat group except for Ted, Frankie, and Marcus.

Spirit/Jad. Get the book, even if you have to break the table. The book will be useful... once translated.

By an NPC of course.

Klatuu Barata N*coughhackweeze* *picks up the book*

JAD, to your RP comment, I think being drunk would have an effect, but not always a good one. If you are drunk, you will recieve penalties to do anything, and if you disregard the monster an inch in front of your face as an illusion, you may not lose your sanity, but you will lose your head. Almost everything is a double-edged sword.

Repost:
I say we take everything sharp from the kitchen or anywhere else in the house and put them in the mansion or a nearby junkyard, just in case.

You think I already hadn't thought of that? I already have three back up scenarios...Which mostly involve My guy doing a dispicable act that would make Krylo crindge in disgust.

Now the House Team has no where left to go but the Upstairs or... THE BASMENT, Muahahaha...

Watch upstairs be more dangerous than the basement, *insert FZ's evil laaughter here*

Ohh, he's good...

See i already made the prerequisite Necronomicon joke.

It's not. You'll need to check it out to know what it is...

I vote anyone but me be the first to go downstairs.

FZ, just because you said that, I'll be more paranoid than normal and stay downstairs until some head flys out from upstairs or the basement and run back to the mansion screaming and yelling

You know if that happens SS, you'll be the first upstairs, and the Call universe takes a perverse glee in putting things were you don't expect them...

Also, if someone with a high Idea Roll enters the kitchen, they may notice something.

Does 70 classify as a high Idea Roll?

Yar.

I just want to know If I took a bit of stone debris and used it to draw a chal cross over the symbol would anything happen?

I don't think so. You would need to know a proper spell to enchant the Cross to negate the effects of the old sign with your new one. You can just go, you got the most important item there.

Would a santification work. It technically is a christian ward against evil spirits then. I do in theory have Holy 'water' even though it's been distilled.

I don't see why not actually. The book does talk about religions being able to counter the Mythos in some minor ways, but only Mythos magic works on the big stuff. But I think that would work here.

I mean it's really a situation of my god can beat up your god. The Big Mythos boys are powerful but I think Iehova could take them one on one. But you got to think about. The big G is busy with a lot of followers., so at best your going to get a Seraphim, or Sephiroth of the Right Hand on your side. At worst you get an angel. Against a minor Mythos creature That would still be fairly effective.

True, but their aren't any rules for summoning Angels or Archangels into a scene. I don't know what would be needed to summon an Angel, or any of the Etheral servants of God, or what sorts of stats they would have on a one for one basis. However, short of a powerful Great Old One, an Angel could beat just about anything the Mythos could throw at it I believe, but I don't think it's as easy as just asking God to send an Angel to smite his foes. However, now I am intrigued to look and see if there are any allowances for this in some sort of side book...

Then any religion could do this, not just Christianity? Like some Greek person could sacrifice a sheep to Zues to go kill some mytho beast.

In theory it's possible. I won't allow anything that mighty unless the rules allow it though, I'm saying that there is potential for it. Right now, he is just sticking with a simple anti-enchant to remove the enchantment on the Symbol. However, trying that on something with a powerful enchantment probably wouldn't work. There is actually one spell that a Catholic Priest would/could have, I just need to look it up and decide where he could learn it.

Before I go to bed, I'd like to say that Paul isn't going to go upstairs or into the basement, just because I don't like something happening to me while I'm sleeping. I'll just say he'll look at the stuff downstairs alittle more closely.

In Angeology, It's not till You get to Archangels and the upper choirs do angels become something special. Here's a list of the choirs if your interested. http://www.catholic.org/saints/anglchoi.shtml

Who would win, a cultist summoning Lucifer or a cultist summoning Cthulhu?

I'm going to give it to Cthulhu, only cause if you read Mountains of Madness it becomes dubious who his stronger, God or the elder gods. And God could kick Lucifers ass. Lucifer wasn't even a Seraphim, he was a Cherabim.

1. I always thought Angels were higher up then they were...

2. Hard call. Lucifer has no stats, and Cthulhu is hella' big and strong. Let me put it this way, Cthulhu has 21 points of armor, regenerates 6 damage a turn, has 160 HP, and does 21D6 of bonus damage a turn, not even regular damage. It's a tough call, but my moneys on Cthulhu.

EDIT: Searches came back negative, so no members of the Choirs will be joining us this RP...

How about Shiva? Or Hades/Pluto?

I think the Quote went like this. “Your God is as young as yesterday. My master was here way before.”

I don't know wnough about Shiva except that I think she is the God of Death for some oriental religion. As for Hades/Pluto, he was never that strong in the first place. All his actions were deciet and trickery. He mostly just made deals, and got kicked out of Olympus by Zeus. Hades is sort of equal to Nyarlethhotep (Probably spelled the name worng, but I'm too lazy to look it up), and Cthulhu would have his way with him. Cthulhu would whup Hades easy.

EDIT: I really need to find some Lovecraft books...

Alright, I am tempted to kill him just on principle of humor alone, but can anyone tell me what he was supposed to have drawn/said on the wall?

Heh Its a paradigim. Its an impossibility. Its a Led Baloon. However I will tell you more if you promise not to kill my character.

... Alright, what is it, and what dod you say?

Did it even exist in the 1920s?

Most likely not, which may lead to an anachronistic paradox that makes his head explode...

It did. Don't worry about that. The Symbol on top of the feather is actually three symbols. However that is before its inverted. When its inverted it means "The Hammer of The Gods" in general a reference to Thor. Now nobody is sure what is means upside down because the way the symbol is laid out. Now the feather is "The sacred feather of Mu" which as just a made up race that was tossed around by occultist in the 1880s that was started by supposedly alister crowley. The latin means "All is one one is all" basically an anagram. TODAY however its part of the title of Led Zeppelin 4. as for the words well just spur of the moment. My guy would now most of this through his occult knowledge baisically it would be like a ward.

Still tempted to make your head explode... But I'll allow it.

Whew thanks. I will remember your mercy.

make his head explode

Sorry, he was able to explain away the potential anachronism, avoiding the Anachronistic Paradoxal Head Explosion.
