Hey at least I din't say "Eat shit and die squid man." in latin and urinate the symbol for the anus of the gods... I could have had done that or worse...

That would have resulted in such a painful head explosion... I might have needed to invoke the Song of Hastur for something of that magnitude, or maybe the Death Spell...

Crap, now either IHMN or krylo are going to want to know what the symbol is, and/or make jokes about it to death...

I actually had to do that as a distraction once. And my character died a ineffable death that would make Krylo vomit. Hey Krylo's old avatar is back!

They will have to look it up. I can't do it in paint.

You had to do that... as a distraction? You had some crazy Call games...

I always had a high luck roll. I always got the shitiest jobs. Like the plan to lure out The Black Goat of the woods. I do not want ot go to deep into it but they dressed my character up as a goat... Anyway Lucas was a crazy guy when it came to GMing. His most infamous monster is a Rabid Chinchilla on Crack and Steriods with venomus teeth. Not to mention that I never am the leader in RP's for good reason but that was often my downfall in my call days...

He made that!? That is almost too good to pass up, I wonder what the stats of that would look like...

Its a DnD Critter but it is basically one hit kills if you hit it but its the fastest thing on earth strong as hell, deadly as a cobra, unrelenting and have beady red eyes thats all you have to remember when creating one. I had the DnD stats on my laptop but its out of commission. To do it in call just remember that it has a small size and only 1 or 2 HP but just remember to make most of its other stats that invovle movement and other stuff big. Also in Call it would probably cause at least 1 sanity check (" What the hell is that thing? AIEEE IT JUST KILLED MARK! Run away Run away!")

Isn;t that stolen straight from Holy Grail? One Holy Hand Grenade would kill it pronto.

I know it is. But I would not normaly think of making such creature. (although I might put one in my new RP bwahahaha.) But the thing is, its something that is so awesome that if you have logic like that in character creation ( Or if your like him and get ALL of your good ideas from monty python...) why not? And yes The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch would kill it pronto but it kills everything else as well.

...I really would like to hear about this death that would make me vomit...

Ahh, now that's a response I should have seen coming...

It would certainly involve feeding krylo emetics until he puked his guts out.

FZ: I'm intrigued by something that would make me ill to my stomach, much less actually throw-up. I find myself doubting his claim.

Dante: That's cheating.

Okay, since I've been gone (busy and all that), I'll just pretend my guy was at back at the house, looking over materials and getting anything he could, okay? He's been gone that long that it would have been unnatural for him to not do anything.

Before he heads to the house, is there anything I could possibly use at all? I mean, he has a gun and some Cthulhu Mythos knowledge, but I'm not exactly sure what he can do with that stuff.

All's fair in gruesome, stomach churning murders, krylo...

Next mission, Frankie is on the front lines. Why? Because waiting for everyone else to get to 10 PM is boring. Especially when some of them are at 12:30 am. Besides... he should have decently high dodge by next mission. And yes, I am counting on him surviving this one. The way things are going, by the time he gets to the house, they should know exactly what they have to do in order to contain and dispel the spirit of mr. what's his name... and he doesn't seem has powerful as a lurker.

Hello everyone! ^_^ I'm back. So... has Clara died? ^^;; I would think so, but hopefully I got lucky.

Anyway. I would catch myself up, but I'm on my way to school, so if anyone would be so kind to kinda... summarize what has happened over the weekend or so, I would appreciate it VERY much so, but if nobody wants to, I'll catch myself up when I get home.

What happened? Well, we (lazy, IHMN and myself) went into the house, and were busy puttering around inside doing nothing of consequence.

In the meantime, Spirit, JAD and krylo (I think) were exploring a church, whereupon the floor collapsed and they found a tome of some kind. Then Spirit started drawing holy symbols and chanting Latin exorcism rituals.

I know, the house team didn't do much...

Ahem. I'm at the house too thank you very much.

Oh, sorry, my old man brain must ahve forgotten...

Also, Me... being smarter than they, decided to go to the cop shop instead of the church. So it's just spirit and Jad in the church, Frankie is currently a few hours ahead of them and in a cab headed to the church.

When he gets there however, he will probably realize they left and either go to the house, or back to the mansion.

And even the House Team is going slowly this time... You'd think it would be easier to post searching rooms...

It's not my fault. I'm waiting for other people to post so I don't end up searching every square inch of the house and, just because of that search, have another guy's head lobbed off or some other thing. People just don't seem to be posting for some reason.

*Sigh* It's probably because no one wants to lose their char, so they let everyone else go first in hopes that they get killed/eaten/melted/driven insane/blown up instead instead of their own char...

Its called The Save your own ass principle. In Cthulhu Its better to let everyone else die as long as you survive. And I still refuse to Post my horrible death in Call...

Well, after the first mission people seemed to grasp the fact that being a wuss was a good thing. Then again, they don't realize it's a bad thing because nothing will happen if they're curled up in a corner, and then you'll just make the monster/ghost/demon/god/chinchilla/whatever attack us out of boredom.

Actually, I will probably just leave the main evil hidden wherever, and just begin to throw semi-random monsters at you until you are either all dead, or start doing stuff again...

I think that means that we should either leave the house or go upstairs...

I'm mostly not serious, so don't worry. I'll give it another day, but everyone cowering on the first floor is getting old fast, and the Main Monster does have a trick or two up his sleeve I could use if this takes too long...

uh-oh.....alright, I'll go do something.

He's hiding in the water! Shoot the water!

Hmm, thought, Jad and Spirit, what are your chars doing now that they are done at the church? Are they going to leave and go to the house, or leave and go to the mansion, or for reasons unknown stay there and just happen to encounter krylo's char when he shows up...

EDIT: Bah, Jad's just paranoid... Wait, did it just move?

I think we should take an example of the The Scooby Doo Postulate whenever the party splits up something bad will almost always happen to at least one of the parties.Especially if its night.

So I say we to the house but try to stay safe in all circumstances oh wait its night. Then one of our groups is fucked.

You know... Frankie tells you guys that he'll meet you at the church... so you all just go steal a book and then run like hell? You're horrible friends. HORRIBLE!

Also, it's still noonish for the house team... it's only night for Frankie and you guys.

I guess we will wait up...

I'm not doing much because I've already done half of the exploring, and some people (Dante) are obvsiously purposely sitting back instead of exploring.

That's a fair point.

And I know how I would react in Marcus'/Ted's situation...

"You think there is something down there, you find it. We're not going back in there..."

REPOST: You guys know your way from here... If you do something that requires my input, I'll input, but for the ost part you know what your doing now at the church...

At least there won't be any books made out of baby skin. With The Eye of a baby seal on the cover for decoration.

I wouldn't have minded that much.

And Spirit... watch FZ put that in the cabinet thingie now.

Muahaha...

"You find a book, which on examination, is bound in the skin of babies, with baby seal's eyes all over the cover, and puppy ears as a page saver. You open it to find the pages were written in the blood of one hundred virgins, and one dog. You mutter, "We will avenge the dog..." "

"Der duh Durf But FZ is my friend ka derf..."

If it is I will urinate the worst symbol in my imagination and say the most ungodly thing you ever heard in Latin. And FZ would be forced to translate or I would say it...Just kidding

I should just finish exploring the house or leave. I'm thinking more about leaving, but FZ would probably send a monster to kill me at the mansion, seeing as how he wants almost the whole place explored.

Note: This house is starting to make me really paranoid and I just want everything done. Prefferably not by me or at least with someone following me.

If no one goes upstairs with lazy willingly, I say you mark everyone in the house group with a number, roll a die, and whichever person the die lands on you force into the basement, FZ.

I like that idea, and my die system does allow for a 4 sided die...

I like it too, only because it's something that doesn't involve me.

FZ, he was asking Marcus if he had anything to carry them in... because Frankie stopped taking his backpack everywhere since he has the mansion now... and he wasn't expecting to go exploring a church where he might find stuff he'd need to bring back. If Marcus doesn't, he'll just take off his coat, put them all inside, and tie it up to carry them to the mansion.

I know you were asking Marcus, but in case you expected me to reveal to one of you any items that might help. You are most likely going to have to go with the jacket idea, although you might have a box in the car to use, it is pretty far away...

I always carry the med bag! Its useful and in Call who knows when it will be used...

Did we all go back together? And on a side note, I seem to like FZ's DM fiat powers...

House Team: Go to a hardware store, buy some fuses, go back to the house, fix the fuse box, and then there will be power in the basement.

Why do I have to think of everything?

No, it is probably about 1:00 PM by now for you, and the investigators are at the house.

EDIT: You know that without trying, I have set up tension in the air about what will happen next. The expectation of horror can be just as horrible as the horror itself....

EDIT 2: Probably has to do with your high INT score...

REPOST: Oh yeah, and this is what the door to the basement looks like, courtesy of SMBC...

The sign and everything?

No, it was a joke...

Oh.....damn gullability.....

Anyway, who's gonna go into the basement.

Well, you fell for my joke, so it sounds like you... J/K

I wish I had a flamethrower.

"...And the LORD said, "Let there be light!"

*FOOM*

"...and so there was."

.

Hey, I posted that!

I was killed by a flamethrower in Call once. It was a part of the Brutal Death that I will never post. Partially because I want to save face.

*Looks over files* Umm... Yep, I think so. It was a good pic...

Hey, anyone want to do a check to see if there were Flamethrowers in 1928?

Ja mein DM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame-thrower

Can I get one of those if that's the case?

There were. They were invented a little before world war one. I think..

Hmm, only the Germans really had them, so this would be some sort of Super-Rare weapon... But you never know where the Call universe will send you to investigate...

They're pretty rare... but maybe if you give the specs to frankie... he could use his physics and chemistry knowledge to develop a makeshift one over one of the mission breaks, probably...

Just need to mix styrofoam with gasoline for the 'napalm', then develop a delivery/lighting system.

Bucket is good.

That's actually a pretty good idea. It would be messy though, and have a decent failure rate that would be a disaster if it failed since you couldn't make one as efficently as a full fledged factory could, and it would take a whole new skill to wield it and certain stats (Not just any weakling could heft that massive tank around), but it could be possible, and devestating against some enemies...

Wasn't 1928 a bit early for styrofoam?

http://inventors.about.com/library/i...olystyrene.htm

polystrene was invented in 1922 but wasn't commercially manufactured till 1930

Fun with Flamethrowers Or how Frankie Killed us all in our sleep on accident. That is what the chapter would read...

Man JAD, your just a fountain of info...

So your homemade napalm is close, but no cigar. In about two years though it may be possible if the RP lasts that long.

I'm not sure... but there are other chemicals he could use. Mix Acetone and gasoline for instance. A flammable liquid and an oxidating agent = bad shit.

And I figure everyone could spend the first week between missions studying a certain skill (like Dante could do welding or whatever, because he's the strong one, and Frankie could buff up his chemistry... reading up on actual flame throwers [for a bonus to the roll to mixing the right chemicals for that in particular], etc. etc.), then they'd spend the next two weeks actually building it.

Actually, your Occult skill may FINALLY come in handy. Who do you think this is Spirit, I narrowed it down two gods and I am fairly certain of who it is...

Spirit, since you don't know his true name, you remember a reference like this to a tribe/cult that called him Thu Thu.

Guys...Look up Callof the Cthulhu The one who waits in the dark FAQ on google...and put it on more then 10 responses...

Thu Thu? ...Oh jesus... can't it be nyal... whatever or something?

Also, you should mention what else spirit would know past the name.

He doesn't remember much. It was a passing reference in an occult book. They were a small tribe in Africa, that believed some sort of aquatic diety would rise up one day and smash the world in two. It was huge, and mostly seemed squidlike in appearance. The natives called it Thu Thu, and, in their tounge, The One Who Waits in the Darkness...

Aww Damn. Why oh why do I think we are all going to die? Especially my character. Anyhow, We are on google YAY! Or one of the old threads are. I think I will have my guy feverently search the library through the night...

Beware squidface.

Not really. Actually a better mixture can be obtained using common plastics and coconut oil. Which were both available at the time...Do not aske me how I know this...

I really, really wanted to post this.
