Huh? Lando as in Landon? Charlotte is not puking o.O Why everyone thought that this is her Aunt's cabin? x) Also, can we give our friend a name? Charlotte takes a good glance around her and mindlessly decides to check the leather book, quickly flicking through the pages. "So, let's make ourselves useful, yeah? Go open every window, the both of you. We'll decide how to clean the place afterward, unless you don't mind living like an animal." She shoots Yngwie a quite, narrowed, challenging glare. "Ta-ta. "

OOC:
I think in your previous post you called yourself Lando, plus you were the first one to the door, so makes sense for her to be your Aunt. She's not mine. :) Or is she related to none of us? Also, I vote that our friend is named Gary. Gary is scary.

Dear Diary
I cannot begin to describe the terrible fate that has befallen our quiet little town of Sanctuary. Pastor Jacob always said we'd all be judged for out earthly sins - but what great sins has this community committed to deserve such wicked and terrible cruelty?
Last night the horrific attack at Mairi's Bar claimed 14 people - massacred by something without remorse or mercy, and others, still, are missing with no clue to where they are. There are no traces of their passing. Their relatives are utterly distraught as one might imagine, and demand answers from the sheriff and the mayor, not none are forthcoming.
The rest of the town is in a state of panic. Some blame the Survivalists out in the woods, other point their accusation at the bikers who roar up and down the main street at all hours; but they have never dared to do anything like this before.
People are scared, really scared, and they're keeping their children indoors, their loved ones close.
And there is talk of strange lights in the sky?

March 4th
Dear Diary,
Today the Sheriff's Department was attacked by several of our own. I don't understand what's happening out here. Everyone who was in the department is dead... ripped to shreds by people I knew, friends of mine.
People in the streets panicked, others ran home for weapons or locked their doors. I tried to hide in the church but the doors were bolted shut, so I hid in the convenience store until nightfall. All the phone lines in town were dead.
I need to contact someone, anyone that can help.
Who is going to believe me?
OOC:
What's everyone else doing?Mar 14, 2019 8:24 pm
Brindy checks each room, including the cellar, calling out "Hello". This may lead to her casing the joint for party supplies.
Mar 14, 2019 9:14 pm
Brindy finds the cellar door locked possibly from inside once she tries it. Something suddenly slams against the door, frantic scratching and clawing emanates from the other side of door. It was locked tight, but from the creaking sounds being nailed shut from the inside is doing as well now. The bolts are shaking and a gibbering sound could be heard behind the door, those upstairs hear it as well.
Brindy being impulsive but not foolish scrambles back up stairs. Yngwie looks at this on his way to the back door and Charlotte looks up from the book to see Brindy scrambling up the stairs from the basement towards them quiet surprised when the sound of wood creak and cracks. As she gets closer to the rest something flies up from downstairs pouncing at the top of the stairs looking at the trio.
The disfigured body, the black hair long dank and falling out in clumps on it's head looks towards the three of you with swollen eyes. It's mouth opens revealing needle like teeth. It's mouth slips wider unhinging showing a mauw from eye to ear as it lets out a guttural scream it's tattered sundress and jean jacket flapping about.
You've found Aunt Mary... or what probably use to be your friend's sweet Aunt Mary once upon a time.

Brindy Sanity: 4/5; Lando Sanity: 6/6 just waiting on Cato to see if the last person flips their wig or not. You both got 4+ on the higher roll so you both passed. Q rolled a 1 on the spirit die though so I think her Sanity drops one. We'll start 'doing stuff' when we flip cards... I should get those ready.Mar 15, 2019 2:01 pm
Yngwie's reaction is completely different, almost fascination at the fucking awesome looking monster. "Holy shit! Wow, what the fuck?"
Mar 15, 2019 2:48 pm
Everyone is surprised but not looking it fully.
Yngwie: Ace of Spades
Charlotte: Queen of Hearts
Smiling Mary: 10 of Hearts
Brindy: 5 of Diamonds
Cato's the first to act.

Is it still in the basement, on the stairs? I'm thinking I would slam the door to the basement if it's possible.Mar 18, 2019 12:12 pm
OOC:
It broke down the door and is in the living room with the rest of you, you all have line of sight on Aunt Mary, Aunt Mary can 'see you too' through those swollen eyes.Mar 18, 2019 2:07 pm
Ahh, well buggerit then. I'll hit her with a chair or other heavy piece of furniture I can find. (I'm assuming this is going to be a fight roll?)

Gripping the chair with two legs Yngwie destroys it on the woman's arm causing her to stumble before looking at Yngwie and makes a gurgling sound.
[ +- ] Savage World Rolling Attack and Damage
Depending on what you're doing, hitting someone in melee, throwing something, shooting something (no one checked the hunting rifle on the coffee table by the book?). If you hit the target number (TN) it's a success if you hit the target number at 4+ the number you roll an additional d6 on top of the damage. Damage dies are added up and compared to target's toughenss, meeting the target shakes it in combat, each raise (4+ the TN) would be a wound.

Does anyone have shooting? Charlotte can't actually fight. In fact, guys, it might be a good idea for you to upload your character's in the library, so we know what everyone can do. :) Also, one question: Are we starting the game with three bennies? And when would we recover them?Rolls
