Lucius has a way with the ladies... You're pretty. You'd be prettier on fire. Describing the scene... GM: You hear heavy breathing. Goguin: Great, a pervert. Terios: PerVECT! Confronted by a giant brain... Darius: I wonder if it's afraid of zombies. We try to hide... Monster: We know you are in the closet, come out! Terios: Fabulous! Lucius complains... Lucius: Why is everything here evil? Therin: We're in Hell, stupid. Therin is dominated... Goguin: The devil is making him do it. Therin tries to fight Therin: I target the nearest creature! Terios: That would be Goguin. Therin: I target the nearest enemy. Terios: That would be Lucius. Dealing with a Devil Therin: Now I guess you'll try and kill us.

Drhoz Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... GM: The fake Lord Frontbottom. Lord Fakebottom. Some sort of prosthetic, perhaps. Having Frontbottom - actually Damien Johns - released back into their care takes a surprisingly short amount of time, despite Prof. Einstein's cheerful efforts at putting her foot in it. The others manage to pass off her tales of violent affray and geese immolation as jokes in poor taste. Fakebottom: Those geese were asking for it. Frontbottom is allowed to go with them as long as stays dosed on Beecham's Brain Tonic, stop climbing up onto roofs, and avoids all excitement. Like that's going to happen. Aldous Quinn was reluctant to take him along anyway. Aldous Quinn: Sweet Lord no - I've got enough on my plate already without dealing with a crazy man. I had enough of that with McGinty. Fakebottom: If I get released into Einstein's care I'll promptly stab her and throw her off a bridge. And no jury in the world would convict me. Aldous Quinn: I've gotten very good at cultivating my selective ignorance. Agent Johnson: Well, if you do come with us, I'd appreciate the use of your skill set. GM: Who knows, you might run into more geese. GM: They could always give you a nice office job transcribing wax cylinders from field missions. How do you spell 'Argh! It's got my face!'? Fakebottom: Thank you Abbagale, you've given me a reason to come with you. You helped me, so I'm obligated to help you. GM: And if you change your mind in the next twelve hours you're on your way to an asylum anyway. Prof. Deborah Einstein: Can you imagine more damaging to the sanity of someone who’s already unhinged, than trying to deal with these people and the things they do? GM: Try to read the RPG Fatal. All: Aaaaarghhh! Aldous Quinn OoC: or watch the Star Wars Holiday Special. All: Aaaaarghhh! GM: So far you've only had one death, and haven't even met any monsters. Compared to New England, Old England is way ahead. Aldous Quinn: Do you have any idea what New England was like? If I had to pull over to take a leak behind the trees, I'd have to take a close look before I unzipped. Spoilers ahead for Masks and Death In The Post February 9th - After recovering Fakebottom's butlering uniform - and sawn-off shotgun - from storage at the estate, they head north, to Northumberland. They arrive at the Grey Fell Institute to learn that Dr Briggs was released over a month ago, fully cured - at least according to the Director. Something they could have learned days ago if they'd bothered to phone ahead. The do have his previous address in Wimbledon on record though – useful, since they’ll be able to dynamite the burrows of the invisible mutant badgers on the Common there, while in the area. On the other hand, they do learn that Briggs continued his 'research' for most of his time there, as occupational therapy, which is alarming. More alarming is a conversation Abbagale has with one of Briggs' closer acquaintances at the Institute. Abbagale Stants: Can I talk to Briggs' accomplice? Director: 'Accomplice'? Abbagale Stants: Er... associate? Fakebottom: Co-conspirator. Prof. Deborah Einstein: Deviant cohort. According to this worthy, the UK is being run by snake-men, the space lobsters that magnetically beam thoughts into his brain with the Air Looms in their aeronefs are at war with the French, and the Institute Director is really Yog-Sothoth, and is only pretending to be human so nobody will realise he's really Yog-Sothoth. That should make for some interesting telegrams back to ONI. THE SPACE PRAWNS ARE HERE STOP Mr. Finney: The Archbishop of Canterbury is really an avatar of Nyarlathotep. Doctor Briggs didn't figure this out himself, I had to point it out to him. Abbagale Stants: Okaaaay... Fakebottom: If McGinty was still here he'd be 'Fucking.. I fucking knew it!' Also, the Two Princes of London’s famous Tower were apparently sacrificed to Yog-Sothoth, as part of the tower ritual of that god. Mr. Finney: I want you to know so you'll be safe. From the space lobsters. Mr. Finney: The poll tax is a fraud, because of the snake men. I used to write a lot of letters about that. Abbagale, of course, thinks that this is all total gibberish, but her more experienced associates find it highly worrisome, and make plans to have the inmate abducted and questioned. They head back to London, and Wimbledon, where Police Boxes prove disappointingly non-Gallifreyan. But even if they were it seems unlikely the occupant would co-operate. Fakebottom OoC: ‘You have the smell of PCs, go away!’ Agent Johnson OoC: Oh, come on, just take us to the CthulhuTech era so we can bring back something nice and explodey. They break into the doctor's former surgery/residence, and discover signs of recent habitation, blank papyrus in a drawer, and a temple to Nyarlathotep in basement. They decide to drop the good doctor neck-deep in trouble, by making an anonymous call to the police saying that Doctor Briggs is acting oddly again, could they send a constable around to check on him? And they head back to their respective hotels, happily oblivious of the trouble they've just heaped on themselves, especially since Abbagale left her lockpick set snapped off in the front door. But at least, back at the hotel, they find a message from Richardson of the Clarion - apparently Professor Masters, now resident in Oxford and another name on Briggs' hit-list, is dead. February 10th - Rather than go to Richardson first and get details, they continue with other plans - meeting Inspector Barrington again, to give him confirmation of the Black Pharaoh connection to the Egyptian Murders; meeting Dr Lund and warning him of the threat to his life - despite their complete lack of any specifics; and going around to the Penhew Foundation. Not to talk to the director Edward Gavigan about the doomed Carlyle Expedition, but to see if Briggs is there, sticking hypodermic needles in mummies. Scotland Yard is somewhat fruitful – Inspector Barrington is certain that the My Life as a God diary will prove instrumental in cracking the case, although the fact that the cult recruits Englishmen is highly disturbing. Also, they learn of one suspect – a Soho spice merchant that was once a guide to an earlier Penhew expedition, one Tewfik al-Sayed, and a regular at the Blue Pyramid. Elsewhere, at the Penhew Foundation itself, Einstein and Abbagale take the opportunity to be nosy parkers. They ask the secretary if Briggs is a member, and find out he isn't listed as a current contributor. Then, while examining the collection, the Professor distracts security long enough for Abbagale to sneak into the elevator and down into the basement, where after a quick poke around reveals a crawlspace access that for some reason she finds so fascinating she has to drag two crates over so she can investigate it. Then, through sheer clumsiness, she drops one of the crates, and is soon discovered. Somewhat to her surprise, the surly workman that finds her merely delivers her back to the staff upstairs, who explains that the elevator is for staff and goods only, and reunites her with her compatriot. Abbagale: ... and then Einstein distracted the guard. Aldous Quinn: No. No. No. *reaches for the 110 proof brain bleach* Agent Johnson: How old is Einstein? Fakebottom: We don't know - or ask. Aldous Quinn: she's more a force of nature than a human being. Fakebottom: She was once a small rock. Aldous Quinn: But the nature of Einstein was irrepressible. The Professor also volunteers to talk to Dr Lund. This is where her lack of any details on the death of Masters, or any credible reason to connect the death to that of Edmundson, and her cheerful admission that most of her fellow investigators are amateurs, tells against her. One hopes Lund does indeed keep an eye open for Dr Briggs hanging around, and that doing so will actually do him any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
