Bubby looks at the papers and checks the boxes for any markings, to see anything of interest and something that may have set his comrade 'off'.

Going through the papers, he sees the community here entered into some kind of relationship with Sha'gal, just as Bubby himself had.

It seems Sha'gal had been asleep for a long time due to lack of worshipers. When the town was built, during their first winter they needed to hunt to survive and they were pretty ruthless about it. That's what stirred Sha'gal back to activity.

It seems they worshipped him for forty or so years before some of their number went to the nearby river basin to establish Augusta itself. This seems to have been a result of Sha'gal telling them of a god who was once in the same pantheon as himself. A god of life and death.

It seems some left this village to worship or find the other god. The papers give the location of the main temple for the new god, called Ghutuk. It seems the worshipper of Ghutuk and Sha'gal were friendly for a while, until disagreements turned to slaughter and this mining town was wiped out.

"Dwarves!" Darren bellows. "Little bastards made a man sized room to trap me - they no I can't resist a comfy chair!- and have my whore of an ex wife locked up in the mill ready to eat anything that goes inside!"

With the other god, Ghutuk on his mind, Bubby continues staring at the shadows pouring out of the mill.

He lays his hands on Darren's shoulder, in an attempt to distract him from the dwarven infused rage and focus on the blackness at the mill.

Bubby uses his sight, to see into the shadows, in an attempt to detect anything otherwordly.

Fourier

OOC: lol, sorry forgot Second Sight wasn't just for Investigate rolls

Bubby looks into the room and sees a creature of pure muscle, no skin covering said muscle, chained to what seems to be a steam boiler. It's massive, at least 15' tall. Its arms end in 5' talons that look sharp enough to slice a man in half.

Nebelwerfer

Bubby, shocked by the size of the creature, attempts to tune in the hopes of finding out what exactly its doing there.

OOC: Can I roll for this?

Banjo

Ooc : that's her all right. Yugoslavian tennis player.

The creature seems to have been what the Ghutuk cult used to attack this town. Bubby gets an image of the other cult's temple from the creatures mind, confirming the notes from the desk.

As he does, the creature looks straight at him.

Bubby feels it warning the Ghutuk cult.

Nebelwerfer

Bubby turns around to Darren and Nathaniel.

"Sh*t, I think we have to go... Whatever is in the Mill, spotted me and has alerted the cult."

He hesitates, slaps Darren on the cheek and announces "I got this!"

Bubby runs towards the Mill, hesitates as he comes closer and proceeds running in the opposite direction.

"Where is that car of yours?!" he screams at Darren's direction as he continues legging it.

"It's at the bottom of the lake! Unless.... "

Nathaniel backs off following Bubby "Perhaps you should not follow" Nathaniel says looking to the doorway


OOC: Can I try to Jinx the Licker creature in case it follows?

Interfere with it trying to pursue me and have it get a really annoying splinter lodged in its tongue.

OOC: Banjo has rolled his special ability, Banjo choose what is going on with your car and I'll combine with Evade's results:
(a) 1-2 monsters/cultists are at the car
(b) Car is damaged
(c) An NPC related to mystery is in the car with minor Keeper decided consequences.

Banjo

A) let's beat some answers out of em.

Fourier

The group (OOC: Including Cron) see Darren's car parked at the edge of mining town, a bit wet but okay. However two cultists exit the car with a shotgun and sniper rifle, the sniper aiming at the group.

At that point they hear a tremendous sound as the mill collapses, the beast wrenching itself free and tearing after the group on all fours.

The sniper aims at Darren, but misses, hitting the beast instead which stumbles and howls with the pain.

The cultists look terrified.

"It'll fuking kill us for that you idiot..." they begin to rave and cry in panic, allowing the group to get to within about 10' of them before they turn to react. The beast is still licking its wounds.

OOC: Ye go first, declare what you're doing

Necro

Cron unslings his spear and throws it at the snipers head.

Fourier

OOC: Necro roll +Tough, there is a special >12 outcome possible due to the spear

Banjo

Darren screams "tall dwarves!" and charges, axe ready to swing at whichever is closest.

Evade

Nathaniel draws his Kerr revolver and aims at the cultists, switching between them, "Rapscallions! Surrender lest we leave you to yonder beast"

Fourier

OOC: Nathaniel and Darren, +Tough

Fourier

Cron's spear impales the head of one of the cultist, using the spiritual energy of a successful hunt to teleport back into Cron's hands.

Nathaniel fires at the remaining cultist, missing slightly.

The cultist then turns to fire on Nathaniel, but before the trigger is pulled Darren's is buried in his chest. Blood gushing from the wound, he dies almost immediately.

Banjo

Darren checks the tall dwarf for elevator heels, car keys and a clean spit to clean his axe

Evade

Nathaniel check himself for extra holes and then looks back to where the beast was.

He has the car keys.

Necro

Cron runs for the car, yelling:

The beast seems to be quite hurt from the shot, it is trudging into the mountains away from the group with a trail of blood in its wake.

Banjo

Darren hops in the driver's seat.
"I came here to burn rubber, murder human beings and chew bubblegum."
He checks the dash for some Hubba bubba.
"2 out of three ain't bad though?".

all aboard....

Evade

Nathaniel ducks nervously and frantically looks around for another gun wielding cultist then on seeing Cron running for the car follows hoping to avoid this unseen attacker.
