<OOC>Ah. Way more hideous than my imagination.

Howard

Howard reaches out his hand and drop his dodecahedron.

(d12)[6]
"A true culitst must believe in the power of dodecahedron. So off we go!"

Before anyone else manage to say something, howard opened the south eastern door.

(OOC: Ubuntu doesn't have much in the way of Paint programs. )

[Fri]

<OOC>Not the drawing, maerok. I'm talking about the hideousity of the labyrinth-like layout of the door filled squeamous facility. I imagined something more simple. Ah, how it's wrong to underestimate the mind of Pokethulhu DM</OOC>

[Maerok]

(Indead. It is a mistake you shall pay for dearly.)

The door creaks open and beyond it is a perfectly cubic room with no plants or evil bugs. Just a wooden box wrapped in chains.

There's a padlock on the front.

[Kuma Da]

Parish White

"One two three NOT IT!"

[Maerok]

From inside the box, you all can hear the slow drip-drip sound of water. It's splashing onto some solid surface. You also notice that the padlock isn't secured.

[Fri]

Howard

Howard opens the chest. ( well, he was going to check the padlock, but suddenly he noticed that he ALREADY know that the padlock isn't secured... You see, most of the time, this is how people said Howard is... 'dreamy.' But Howard swore that it's time and space screwing up his brain. Or is it?)

[Maerok]

The lock hits the floor and the chains slowly slip off from the box without making a sound, except that dripping noise. This box is rather plain, a classic wooden crate; six sides of wood, but the top is loose.

[Fri]

Howard

Howard lift the top slightly and peek. And he totally do not realized the innuendo.

[Maerok]

Inside, there are three items. It seemed like there was a fourth, but it fades away into nothingness just as Howard spots it.

On the bottom of the crate is a jar, half-full-half-empty with water. There's nothing too peculiar about, just a jar made of smoke glass.

From the lid, dangling on a bent nail is a pendant, swinging slightly with the motion of the lid. Its a light blue color, not overly complex in its design. Peculiarly the charm sees to be weeping drops of water into the jar. It continues to drip water.

The last item is slouched over in the corner of the box. It's a doll, apparently of some kind of mad scientist. It has a little labcoat, crazy hair, and a little ray gun in one hand. A drawstring snakes its way out from the doll's back.

[Fri]

Howard

"A doll! Even better, a doll with pull-y string! This journey is totally worth it."

Howard picks the doll and pulls the string.

[Kuma Da]

Parish White

Parish dives for cover.

[Maerok]

The doll's arms begin to flail and it fires a barrage of ray gun blasts at Hazi.

Howard ducks and covers his head.

"Gah! The doll isn't that cool anymore. Bad doll, bad doll! This is just another daydream. This is just another bad daydream...."

He left the flailing doll flailing on the floor.

Sy'Thurydos begins attacking everything in the room. The crate is soul shredded into soulless wooden fragments. His beam hits the smoked-glass jar which reverberates and then fires the blast upward. The necklace, meanwhile, is still in its point in space, suspended in mid-air.

Tindalonine is going to execute a freeze attack on the crate. Two dice trap attack testing v lore 9 and power 7. (1d12)[6], (1d12)[4]

[Fri]

Howard

In the middle of his insane rambling and cowardly position, howard still managed to say
"Parish, what the heck are you doing attacking poor innocent crates and dust bunnies?"

[Kuma Da]

Parish White

"It seems like a perfectly valid response to being shot at with lasers!"

[Maerok]

Now there is ice all over the pieces of the crate and the water has been frozen to the floor.

There seems to be no effect from the ray gun...

[Fri]

Howard

Howard watches the gun and the lightworks and wonders whether the rays do leave marks on the surrounding (since it seems that most of the damages are Parish's collaterals). Cause, you know. Maddening illusion and ancient horror creatures go side by side.

Then as parish distract whatever enemy that's currently there, he creeps toward the box and tries to grab and get a better look at the pendant.

Sorry about my absense, btw...

Hazi shakes off the tingle from the ray, pausing momentarily and looking slightly confused. After quickly composing herself, she points to the laser doll. "Icthypus!", she says to her thulhu, who has been following along the whole time, "Grab that thing!"

[Maerok]

The doll continues to fire wildly around the room. As apparently the doll's batteries run out, Icthypus grabs hold of the mad scientist and brings it over to Hazi without much difficulty.

Howard grabs hold of the pendant, and is able to remove it from its place above the icy floor.

[Fri]

Howard

Still lying prone, Howard tries to get a better look at the pendant..

(any detail? Any mysterious sounding whispers?)

[Maerok]

It pulses with the heat of a thousand suns made of water. Then it sprays Howard in the face with a blast of warm water.

[Kuma Da]

Parish White

"Sy'Thurydos, return. I'll fix this on my own." Parish digs into his backpack and pulls out a no-decahedron. Holding it outstretched in his right hand, he charges the box.

This thing spooked the bugs pretty bad. Bet it works the same way on laser-ghosts.

[Fri]

Howard

(Hm, any visual help on the pendant? By that I mean what does it look like?. Not important I guess, but still...)

[Elrosth]

As Icthypus trots back, Hazi pats it on the head and takes the doll, examining it further.

[Maerok]

The pendant is spherical, like a large light blue marble. It's on a delicate chain; more of a girl's sort of necklace.

The mad scientist doll was battery operated. But it seems to have run out. It looks very cartoonish, with the standard crazy hair and evil glare. It almost seems to stare back.
