Officer Grey reaches into the drawer again and pulls the last item, a large ancient book wrapped in silk cloth. Unwrapping it reveals a book with the title written in Greek. Bound in weathered leather, its cover adorned with faded sigils of arcane origin, it exudes an aura of profound antiquity. Its pages, yellowed with the passage of time.
Lettie reads the cover, The Book of Dreams.

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 in the direction of The Book of Dreams with malevolence in its lidless eyes.

Nora flattens her body to the wall and stares at the body in horror, thinking that the others must have been mistaken when they checked and confirmed Mr. Gardiner was indeed dead.

Jack's days as a thick-skinned farmhand are proving less and less useful as the day goes on, as here is yet another sight that has him brimming with panic. In his native Lithuanian: "What in God's name!" He trips over his feet trying to get away from whatever fresh hell just took hold of Mr. Gardiner and catches himself on the table on the other side of the door. He thinks about trying to shield Nora by stepping between her and Mr. Gardiner, but can't seem to fight back the fear long enough to be chivalrous.

Jack has now lost a total of 8 sanity and his threshold for indefinite insanity, so he is definitely beginning to fray. Another two and he goes under!

All thoughts of tomes and dreams leave Lettie's mind when she sees the mutilated corpse stumbling towards them. She drops the books she is holding and backs into the bookcase in horror.

George jumps back colliding with the sink counter behind him. Dear GOD! he exclaims.
His forearms instinctively raise up to his chest, his palms facing outward in decidedly non-heroic manner

Nora's eyes dart around, seeing how this scene has devolved in madness from what was previously already precariously pushing the bounds of decorum or good taste. Nora steps to Officer Grey, gesturing emphatically to his service weapon. "Officer, here's your chance, apprehend Mr. Gardiner for questioning!" Her voice becomes shrill as the reality of a man unraveling from his own skin stretches and frays the tenuous hold she has on her emotions.

Jack takes a sharp breath and grits his teeth to try and compose himself. He then steps around the table and behind the chair in the corner of the room. In a half-panicked attempt to try and end the craziness, he picks up the chair and throws it at Mr. Gardiner.

Good job! Not only is that a direct hit, but it's an Extreme Success, meaning you do max damage. A chair is a pretty hefty improvised weapon, so the damage would be 1d8 +your damage bonus, which given Jack's strength and size is 1d4. That's a total of 12 damage! As it's is over half its HP, that also has the potential for a Major Wound. At this point I roll against CON to see if it knocks him out. It does not.Knifesedgegames sent a note to Knifesedgegames

Seeing the thing stumble as Jack pummels it with the chair I follow up with a body blow trying to knock it into the corner of the exterior wall & bookcase.

Lettie sees the creature that used to be her friend look towards the Book of Dreams before it is assaulted by the others. She attempts to dive for the book and get it away from Gardiner's reach.
