Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

William manages to strike the figure in its shoulder, penetrating the flesh. He pulls the spear back while the figure briefly stumbles. Unfortunately he does not seem affected by the new hole in his body.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

The figures are forced to climb the stairs in single file. The one that Poppy shot comes first, staring up at William as he comes just into range of the long spear.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

There are some cylindrical drums but they don't appear to have much weight to them. Nothing else that would really roll but there are plenty of wooden models which you could throw down the stairs at them.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

You can see the two figures reach the bottom of the stairs and slowly begin to climb them, struggling a little to lift their feet up each step.

There are other spears in the shop so don't feel there aren't enough to go around.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

The animated corpses lunge at William and Poppy as they retreat but are too slow to strike. They follow jerkily along the corridor as William, Poppy and Evelyn head up the stairs, meeting James and his collection of weapons half way up.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

Your assailants still don't seem all that talkative and move forward to attack. Poppy fires her gun at the man on the right, hitting him in the knee and blasting a chunk of flesh clear of the bones. The man staggers slightly but lunges forward with surprising speed, sinking his teeth into Poppy's fo...

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

The gruesome figures continue their lurching towards the doorway. One now seems more interested in William while the other continues to reach towards Poppy. They are now only a couple of steps from the door.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

The lantern is hanging from the wall about half way to the stairs. It's just within reach for Evelyn.

It's a bit like this. You'd all be reasonably familiar with these lamps and know the flame is well protected but the fuel is stored in the bottom and can be poured out if needed.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

William is stood in the doorway so you can't stay behind him and go into the room to get one of the torches in the small alcoves around the room. There's no torches in the corridor, but you do recall the kerosene lantern that was lit when you were here earlier.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

The figures continue to lurch towards Poppy, giving no response to her question.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

James sprints back to the shop and picks up as many sharp weapon-like objects as he can without endangering himself and returns to the group before examining their worthiness further. The worthiness of the weapons or the group? ;) This will obviously take a little time so we'll have to see what the...

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

The poles are attached to the wall and James considers it unlikely that he'd be able to pull them free. There's nothing else in sight that could be considered usable as a weapon. However James does recall there being some hand weapons in the shop above intended for display, but he can only guess at ...

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

Just before Poppy reaches the curtains she notices movement and two hideous human figures emerge from behind them. They lurch forward, their intestines hanging from their bodies and something carved upon their forehead. The curtains fall back into place behind them. Evelyn suppresses a shudder, reme...

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

The door crashes to the ground throwing dust into the doorway. The sound reverberates around the stone corridor and the room within. Due to the darkness of the room and the dust obscuring your view you can see very little until it begins to settle. Once your torches begin to penetrate the dust you s...

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep

Poppy and William both have a go with the lockpicks but just wiggling them around in the lock doesn't seem to achieve anything. They both set to working on the hinges with the crowbar but the progress is slow. The door is very heavy and the hinges are old but tough. It takes twenty minutes to lever ...
