Confused at the obviously self-inflicted wounds juxtaposed with other things that indicated he had no intentions of dying that night seem to overwhelm Florence and she steps back away. "James," she whispers, putting a hand to her mouth and shaking her head. I wish I knew what had troubled you so...I would have been there for you.

As Florence moves to inspect the body, Perry finds nothing on the dining table but a place setting so moves to the wardrobe, to find the box back in place, locked.

Waiting on INT roll for Sam
Jun 3, 2022 1:17 pm
Distracted by Lang while looking at the bookshelf -- especially the bookend -- Sam casts a inquisitive look at him when he takes the books. "What are these books about? And what use did Mr Gardiner have with them?" he asks.

Ok either Sam or Lang need to use Luck if you want to pass the int roll. You decide if it’s worth it for the appraise rolls

"He wanted to know more about his dreams, and it seems he kept this journal of them. The books he borrowed were about what dreams mean but with all this," Lang said as he pointed at the ritual and the body, "it looks like he had nothing but nightmares. Maybe I can use the books to figure out what was wrong with him."

I'll wait and see what Sam does first. ;) Jun 4, 2022 12:37 am

Going to make a judgement call here to move things along. Sam uses 5 Luck to pass that spot hiddenInside the compartment is a few more books. A Primer in Greek Vocabulary, two large accounting ledgers, and an envelope full of receipts. Additionally there is what feels like another book, wrapped in silk cloth.

On the other side of the bookcase, Florence steps away from the body.
[ +- ] Otto and Florence
A dragging sound on the floor interrupts your investigation of the room. The mutilated body of the room’s tenant shifts its limbs and suddenly lurches to a standing position.
You look on in terror as the flesh around Mr. Gardiner’s head begins to peel, the flesh spiraling downward like some horrific party trick with an apple. The blood-slicked skull turns to look at the back of the bookshelf with malevolence in its lidless eyes.

Will wait to see the result of the fail. He'll move to protect Florence if he at all still has his wits about him.Last edited June 4, 2022 3:08 am

"Das kann nicht passieren!" Otto continues, his eyes wide and his face stricken. "Gardiner is not dead, he has risen from the floor!" he shouts, even as he moves to put himself between Florence and the mutilated horror. "Get back miss! The hand of the devil pulls these strings!"
OOC:
Action-wise, Otto is moving to protect Florence, and is preparing for the thing's assault. Perhaps that's worth a bonus die if the thing attacks Otto? However you think we should handle it, his goal would be to push the monster back and knock it down if it does come at them.Last edited June 4, 2022 2:26 pm

Agreed, bracing yourself and allowing him to attack you first will grant a bonus die. In addition, he gets a penalty die against Otto as there's a difference in Build.Jun 4, 2022 8:42 pm
Investigation is a huge part of Call of Cthulhu, searching crime scenes, digging up books and interviewing people but the other side is facing off against the horrors and those that serve them. Not only should you expect to die, but you might also go insane!
There are two types of insanity that can be experienced in facing the Mythos.
Temporary Insanity comes about if you lose 5+ from one roll.
Indefinite Insanity happens if you lose one fifth of your sanity in one game day. Below is what each character has lost so far and the threshold at which Indefinite insanity occurs.
Both result in a Bout of Madness and I'll detail that if/when we reach it.

Curious about what he just found, Sam was about to talk about it to Lang when he hears the scream. His attention shifts immediately to what is happening on the other side of the room: he drops everything he has in hand, pulls out the gun he found earlier and goes to see what is happening exactly.
