Re: The Haunting Gameplay

Karabekian looks up from the book he was reading (a treatise on the esoteric practices of certain secret societies in ancien Greece) and slowly fixes Larry with a withering gaze. Apparently, in the intervening months since the events in Gardiner's flat, the man has gotten it into his head to become a private investigator and Karabekian has found himself recruited as some sort of consultant/confidante without his consent. As a result, these unexpected (and frankly, often bothersome and unwanted) visits have become more and more frequent.

To be fair, each new case Larry has brought has at the very least afforded Karabekian some measure of diversion. He has always had an insatiable curiousity (both a blessing and a curse) and perhaps Mister Getz recognized this early on. Karabekian has had a particularly vexing week, specially after the debacle at the University. Perhaps a distraction is exactly what he needs.

Karabekian closes the book and smiles politely. "Good day to you, Mister Getz. What have you gotten us into this time?"

"A man has come to me asking if we'd get to the bottom of why he can't keep renters. Something about odd happenings in the house..." Larry continues passing forward the information and slaps $5 down on the table. "Some up front money... and don't give me that smug look, it makes you look dull witted!

"Smug? I wouldn't dream of it." Karabekian looks down his nose at the money. "Might not this landlord have been better served employing an exterminator?"

Karabekian seems to get over himself and his expression changes. "Odd happenings, did you say?" After what they experienced together three months ago he knows none of those involved would ever use the word 'odd' lightly ever again.

After explaining the job, both think it might be a good idea to enlist that crotchety old German. Larry knows he's been down since he lost his Macaw and this might be a good distraction. Your landlord might also be interested in a road trip.

"Shall we fetch our Confederates then?" Karabekian takes the $5 note. "I trust you have more of these to entice them with. I doubt they are afflicted by the same curiosity as you or I." The book dealer then flips the door sign to "Closed" locks up the shop and prepares to head for the boarding house.

I just want to point out, the landlord isn't actually the guy who owns the flats, he manages the estate on behalf of the owner, who is an elderly lady. So the money he collects doesn't go to him. He is more of a grounds keeper then what we would call a landlord today, he certainly doesn't fix your rates or earn a cut of them. He's an employee of the flats. Most of our interactions would be him fixing your broken stuff so I don't see where all the flack is coming from...

Karabekian has no issue with the rent or anything like that. His condescension comes from his being generally a cultural snob. In other words, he will condescend exactly the same way towards Getz & Kreutzwald. I must point out, however, that he's generally a nice guy, it's just that he feels intellectually superior and sometimes that comes bubbling up to the surface.

From beyond the door you hear Marc shout, It's open. Marc is currently in the process of taking down a series of synchromistic paintings and replasing them with a collection of country side paintings of a tonalistic style. Someone with an artistic mind would notice a variety of different artists in the collection. A pair of Thekla Larks sit on the table eating from a small bowl of seeds, they make know attempt to leave by both the open window or the door. Gentlemen what can I do for you?

Re: The Haunting Gameplay

The uncomfortable drive to Boston from Providence takes just over three hours and you are all eager to stretch your legs by the end of the trip. Opting to go straight to the house, Larry pulls up at the Old Corbitt Place.

The brick building is overshadowed by taller newer office buildings on either side. The house fronts the street. In the rear are overgrown plantings and a half-collapsed arbor. Access to the rear exists either side of the residence.

Studying the house, the observer is impressed by the way the house seems to withdraw into the shadows cast by the flanking buildings and how the blank curtained windows hide all understanding of what lies within.

The group enters a small but tastfully decorated doctor's practice. The walls are decorated with memorabilia from the Great War. The room contains a couch and several oak chairs most of which are unoccupied. The furniture looks simple but comfortable. You see two gentlemen dressed in military uniforms sitting two of the chairs. A middle aged blonde woman greets you as you enter Good day gentlemen and then upon seeing the condition of the injured gentlemen she immediately rises and helps you move him towards the sofa.

Then she knocks on a door and enters a second room.
By all means show them in. You hear the words echo from the open door.

Dr. Harper will see you now she says and you enter the doctors office.

Dr. Harper is in his mid thirties and has a slightly disheveld look to him but he has a kind disposition and greets you warmly.
What seems to be... Luis? Is that you? What happened to you? No never mind that now you can fill me in later. My name is James Harper but my friends call me 'Captain'. Now let's have a look at you.

He expertly positions and treats your wounds. You get the feeling that he is quite the expert in first aid and that he has done this many times before.

The ruins are so weathered and overgrown with greenery that the grey stone rubble seems more like natural stone than former walls and foundation. You pass a slumping wall bearing white-painted symbols, apparently freshly swabbed - three Y's arranged in a triangle so that the top elements of each Y touch the other two Y's. In the center, so created, is painted a staring eye.

Re: The Haunting Gameplay

Rules on carrying

Marc is actually quite large (Siz 80). This means that carrying him would be a Hard strength check (Half Karabekian's Strength, 30%)

However if Marc remains conscious, no roll should be required, so we'll wait for that CON roll.

Additional help will allow that person's strength to reduce the weight and therefore difficulty (So Larry's Strength of 50 would bring it down the Size down to 30, making it a regular difficulty for Karabekian)

Actually no, you're at no risk of dying at this stage. As you have a major wound, if you take more damage, and get to zero, you will die. You can't perform another First Aid roll, unless doing it as a Pushed roll (meaning added risk and unable to use Luck to fudge it) so I'll assume you DON'T plan to do that.

Larry takes a few off his bullets out and using his knife, pries off the slug and starts dumping the powder at the base of the wall.

Karabekian nearly trips over Kreutzwald's discarded duffel bag at the top of the stairs. In it he finds the German's 12-gauge shotgun and some shells. Into the bag he tosses the rusty crowbar which he's surprised to find is still in hia hand. He shoulders the bag and fumbles with the telephone, but the line is dead. As the banging resumes on the second floor he bolts out the door and heads for Larry's car.

Slamming the car into drive, Karabekian takes off. He realises it's been a while since he drove, it's a matter of life and death. He hits the main roads at 60mph, flying past traffic, zipping through gaps. He very nearly crashes into a delivery van, spinning and skidding round a corner. After some ten minutes, he screeches to a halt outside the Dr's office.

Helping the two injured men up the stairs in near darkness is no easy task but you manage it and after bundling them into the car, you return to the safety of town, leaving the horrors of the house behind, as you drive away you think you hear a distant triumphant cackle. Once into his surgery, Harper sets about cleaning and patching the wounds.

Both are suffering from Major Wounds which recovers once you reach 50% of max hp or on an extreme success CON roll. Each week you can make a CON roll (with a bonus die for complete rest) and recover an additional 1d3 hp.
You can now decide how long you wish to rest (if at all) before returning to work.

Larry will read every page and try to take in all of the Corbitt diaries and then shares it with Lukas to get his opinion.

He also looks over the attack knife to see if it holds any magic or was just a weapon for some vessel to use.

Larry would rest until his hp is full, his major wound was gone after the first die roll.

Re: The Haunting Gameplay

To recap what you've learned so far...

Executor of the will: Rev Michael Thomas, Pastor of the Chapel of Contemplation and Church of Our Lord Granter of Secrets.

Church was closed 1912

On investigation, Church appeared to have suffered a fire. Trapped in the basement, 2 skeletons in silk robes

Found there, a tome entitled Liber Ivonis, occult in nature and written in Latin. Book mostly rotten

Also in the church, a journal with an entry stating Walter Corbitt was buried in the basement of his house "In accordance with the wishes of that one who waits in the dark"

The House was built in 1835 by a prosperous merchant. He immediately fell ill and sold it to Mr Walter Corbitt esq.

In 1852 Corbitt was sued by neighbours forcing him to leave the area.

Karabekian doesn't feel any more ready than before. He does his best to acquire some of the objects that Mr. Thayer said might protect them. During the interim he would also have given Kreutzwald's shotgun to Goetz.

Knifesedgegames says:

OOC:

If it’s a standard spiritual possession, holy water and religious symbols are generally thought to be effective. Lukas can also reel off a number of objects from around the world that protect against evil . Ultimately, someone of strong will (POW) has a better chance of resisting such attacks.

Karabekian shows up with a bunch of talisman's around his neck, a Turkish Nazar, a rabbit's foot, an Egyptian amulet of Ba, crosses both metal and wooden, Celtic runes and numerous others. It would be almost comical if the look on his face wasn't so dour as he hands the Shotgun to Larry. You opt to leave Marc to his sick bed and bundle into the car to return to the house.

Beyond the torn out boards is another wall, also made from solid planks of wood, not the natural stone of the rest of the cellar's outer walls. Scratched into the wood in irregular scratchy letters are the words:

Larry steps back into the crawl space, and wielding the crowbar Marc used, tears down the boards of the inner wall. Lukas assists while Karabekian watches from a safe distance, providing light.

Beyond is another room and lying motionless and seemingly dead on a pallet in the centre of the room is a drawn, wooden-looking, wizened figure of some six feet, skinny and naked., with ghastly wide-flaring saucerlike eyes and a nose like a knife blade. Some sort of chain rests around his neck. He has lost all hair and his shrunken gums make his teeth look very long. From him comes a sharp, sweet, churning scent, like rotten corn.

The floor is earthen and there is a table in the southwest corner with some curled papers on it.

OOC:

Your Sword Cane actually requires a specialised skill to be used correctly. This skill starts at 20% so I have added the skill to your sheet (I don't believe you've struck with it before?) As you are outnumbering the enemy, you get a bonus die for your attack so roll another 1d10 to act as ten's.

Re: The Haunting Gameplay

Karabekian lunges forward, thrusting his sword cane almost blindly at the hideous moving corpse. It tries to move, but too slow and the blade pierces it's leathery throat. The yellow eyes go wide and it lets out one final scream before crumbling into pieces in a cloud of dust.

His hands shaking, Karabekian sheathes his sword cane but holds out his holy symbols before him. "Is everyone alright? I don't imagine that's the end of it. What do we do now?"

With the body of Walter Corbitt destroyed, it seems the haunting has ended. Everything in the house returns to normal and Larry reports to his employer that the job has been completed.

OOC:

Larry, Karabekian and Lukas gain 1d6 Sanity
Marc gains 1, given the knowledge that his attacker is gone.
The landlord pays the agreed fee, which Larry can distribute appropriately.
