open the door


shit brix

Open DOOR

>>3197061

Open the door, cautiously. Be ready to attack.

Uh... the door might open quite violently, judging from the stain. Better be careful, and have Tom ready to close the hatch when Ruby's crawled through VERY quickly, in case the eyes on the other side of the door belong to Pyramid Head.

>>3197071
>open the door
Fair enough.

I cast my vote for not knowing WTF to do. If you open it, you could be dead. If you go to try and do something else, that thing could be roaming free.

WTF TO DO?

We could offer it the chest as a peace offering?

put arm down between the cushions of the couch and retrive items first

Approach A: Ram her shoulder into the door, applying pressure to it, then open the door very slowly. If she feels pressure coming from it from the other side, push it back. This is so she can rebuke it if someone's trying to get through.
Approach B: Stand with her back against the wall opposite the bloodstained wall, twist the doorknob, and pull it open a little. This is because if the door opens inward with enough force, it will smash her into that bloodstained wall, explaining why there's blood on it.

Which will it be?

Maybe we should check on Ruby?

Shit, shit, SHIT!

F5'ing like there's no tomorrow.

Examine the pipe. What's that blue thing on it? Knocking on it, how does it sound?

Examine the red thing on the wall. Is it graffiti or is it some sticky liquid-ish substance? Is it blood?

Examine the locker in the middle of the room. It's locked right? If it is, see if there's any obvious mechanism as to what would open it. Is it possible to lockpick it in any way?

Also would be nice to have a rough layout of where this current room would be situated in regards to the former room, the one with Tom in it. A map from above just to see how the rooms are located relative to each other, as best as Ruby can tell from crawling through the hatch?

Thank you.

>>3197081

I hope she has her knife ready T_T

>>3197095
I know! This has been the thread of the hour. Well, year, as far as I'm concerned

Open it, carefully.

>>3197101

Is a hamster? Or a bear?

>>3197101

Hey, it's a bear! Hello, bear. Um... I come in peace?

Did anyone taste the red to see if it was ketchup =3

Brandish the Letter Opener menacingly.

>>3197101

Say hello to your third party member, explain your situation, place complete trust and faith in this new guy immediately. That always works in the movies.

>>3197102
More like several hours.

>>3197101

>>3197101

Get into CQC position with the letter opener and demand his name and what he's doing here.

>>3197116
and in roleplaying games.

>>3197116

Don't listen to this Anon he's clearly stricken with brain fever.

>>3197101

Jiiiiiiiii~

>>3197124

Double true. Might as well give all your items to the bear as well, just to be sure he knows that you trust him.

But seriously, I guess try talking to the bear thing.

SAY HELLO

IF IT DOES NOT RESPOND, EXAMINE TO SEE IF IT STILL LIVES

>>3197122
This this this. Easier to explain away paranoia than to defend yourself from an unprepared position.

>>3197101

>>3197132

Even though it didn't work last time.

Ummmm. I don't know WTF to do dudes.

>>3197139
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Is anyone still archiving this?

Use the glove to examine the corpse.

>>3197139

>>3197139

WHAT THE GOD FUCKING DAMN HELL!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

>>3197139
KHAAN NAAMA FH'TAN CTHULHU!

>>3197139
WHAT A TWIST, I COMPLETELY DID NOT EXPECT IT TO BE ALREADY DEAD.

CRAWL BACK TO TOM FERKING IMMEDIATELY, AND TELL HIM OF THE SITUATION, ALSO ASK FOR SOME COMFORT BECAUSE YOU ARE A FUCKING WRECK NOW

ALSO, SANITY CHECK

>>3197139

Eat the Haloween themed jellow trapping this poor individual.

>>3197139
oh motherfucker

>>3197139

Stay calm, stay calm. If it's an unmoving corprse, put on the gloves and examine it. If it's a moving corpse, GET THE FUCK BACK IN THE HATCH.

>>3197139

>>3197146

Pretty sure that thing isn't hiding anything. You can clearly see right through it.

I would return to Tom for emotional consolation. Maybe sit there crying for a few hours with your hand pressed up against the divider, with Tom doing the same, just hoping to be able to feel his warm embrace, it's all you want right now.

>>3197139

I wonder if it either wasn't there before, or if there was just a slide covering the hole in the door? Fucking creepy.

RUN YOU DUMB MOTHER FUCKER! WHATEVER KILLED THAT BEAR IS GONNA KILL YOU FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

>>3197139

>>3197167
maybe button 2 WAS kill =D

>>3197167

Go into the closet/hallway of death.

Search your feelings, /tg/. You know what you must do.

Examine the room/closet where the body was.

>>3197167

Pick up the head and act out your sanity loss by looking into its eyes, laughing, and petting it while curling up in a corner and still laughing like a madman, its blood staining your dress.

>>3197146
As this guy said, use the gloves to check if there's a shiny card in that corpse.

QUICK LOOK BEHIND WHERE THE CORPSE WAS STANDING, IF YOU CAN SEE ANY IMMEDIATE THREATS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DISINTEGRATION RAYS

So uhh. Was that some kind of closet that gurobear just fell out of?

"Hello, Ruby. Do you want to play a game...?"

>>3197190

You would be able to see a card. Especially a shiny one. You can see the damn things skeleton, it's not hiding anything.

>>3197098
Do this.

Do it already.

>>3197192
Or was it just some kind of teddy-bear waffle-iron?

Look in the room behind the corpse, try to not have a breakdown.

In before crazy 6 Days A Sacrifice shit.

get the head, it might be useful later, how much space left in our inventory?

>>3197183
>Go into the closet/hallway of death.
It's a small closet, not much room inside. It reeks of death, but at this point, what choice does Ruby have?

SIT ON THE COUCH.

You need a rest after that.

>>3197212

>>3197225
OH SHIIIIIII-

>>3197225

AAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE BACK IN THE HATCH NOW SHIT SHIT SHIT.

>>3197225

Use letter opener, stab stab stab.

>>3197225
I USE BANISH TO SEND IT TO THE ABYSS.

..Wait. This isn't stone soup. THIS IS WORSE.

RUN.

>>3197225
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>3197225

Smash it with the chest?

>>3197225

Be the alpha male. Tell it to keep its hands of the merchandise.

>>3197238
The chest? The little ornamental chest the size of her hand?

KICK IT IN THE HEAD

KICK IT HARD

WITH YOUR HEEL

HARD

NOW

>>3197195
But what if the card is inside the intact parts of the bear? Maybe Ruby should have a look.

>>3197209
Oh, yes please!

Hide in the closet!

>>3197247
Then she dies anyway.

Run.

Have Ruby run back into the other room and tell Tom to hit the button corresponding to the skull before climbing up the ladder.

>>3197242

Kinda just got here. I figured the chest was normal sized, sorry.

Crawl back through the hatch, and wait for the thing to follow you, tell Tom to close the hatch when the things head is halfway through or something, and slice his head in half.

Victory?

RUN BACK RUN! TELL TOM TO KILL IT WITH THE HATCH COMING DOWN!

I KNEW the z in "Z-Hatch" meant "zombie."

>>3197256
This sounds reasonable.

Archiving guy here. I have an exam in two hours, and the traffic is hellish, so I won't be able to do this one in it's entirety until 6:00 EST or so. So, hopefully this one won't fall off the edge of the board in the meantime. The first two threads are archived, though.

Draw draw draw.

Our OP is drawing. What is he drawing I wonder?

>>3197264

Tell me where/how to archive please.

>>3197256

Not a bad idea.

>>3197230
>RUN.
Ruby flees the room as fast as she can, but the monstrous thing is hot on her heels snaking after her.

Oh God, what the hell is this? It's like Trilby's Notes or something.

>>3197272
TELL TOM TO HIT BUTTON TWO THE MOMENT YOU ARE THROUGH.

Weird movie. I fully recognized how shitty it was, but it still gave me the creeps.

>>3197272

Spend as much action points, Willpower, Fate Points, whatever the game calls those points of BREAK THE LIMIT as you can and get the hell out of there, telling Tom to shut the hatch when you're out.

>>3197272
When on the other side, tell Tom you're being chased by some sort of monster. Tell him to close the z-hatch the moment that monster shows its head, and not before.

>>3197256
buttons remain depressed after pressing them... we'd be better using the console upstairs to close the bars on the ladder
>>3197255 this probably makes more sense...

>>3197061

>>3197298
No, this one doesn't. Tom has already pressed it twice, both times it either opened or closed.

>>3197290
>Shutthehatch
As Ruby re-enters the room, she shouts at Tom to press button 2 again, and fast. Tom's already in a confused panic after hearing the unearthly screaming.

>>3197314
Oh god, he's gonna panic and shut it while she's still crawling through.

>>3197314

Time it correctly to kill the monster for the love of god.

Unless the hatch isn't ultra strong, and will just bop the monster on the head before returning to an open position.

Also hope Tom doesn't freak out and shut it on you.

>>3197314
NO NOT YET NOOOOOOOO

HE'S GONNA SPLIT YOU IN HALF

>>3197314

50 gp says the hatch closes too early decapitates her, cuts her torso, or cuts off her legs, or that the hatch closes too late and we're left with the Bone Naga with us.

>>3197314

Oh God she's gonna die.

>>3197314
Bitch better start pressing buttons.

Lateguy here, what's the divider made out of?

>>3197314
Oh god don't close the hatch on Ruby!

IF BUTTON 2 CANNOT BE PRESSED AGAIN, PRESS BUTTON 4!!!

>>3197324

I am not taking that bet. TIS A FOOLS BET

CHOO CHOO. Here comes the guro train!

First time in a while I haven't felt like I've been wasting time on 4chan.

We should feed the monster a fish, that will calm it down =3

Tom presses the button.

>>3197341

OH DEAR GOD WHAT?!

Silent Hill: Ruby

>>3197346

GO UP THE LADDER! UP THE LADDER! JUST IN CASE!

>>3197346

I THINK ITS DEAD
HAVE TOM OPEN AND CLOSE THE HATCH A FEW TIMES MORE JUST TO BE SAFE

That's a rather impressive splatter scene there. Now we'll have an even more traumatized Ruby on our hands, especially if she has to crawl through there again. Oh, and, examine the remains of the monstrosity more carefully when it stops twitching, in case it has a card.

>>3197355

>>3197355
IF IT ISN'T DEAD, IT'LL JUST COME IN MORE!

>>3197376

We didn't cut the head in half, I doubt it's fully dead.

>>3197348

Fucking hell.

this thread is made of win.

Well, I assume it's dead.

Now that the panic's over, head back into the Z-Room, check the closet the monster was in for items, or see if anything is visible in the remains.

>>3197376

Head back up the ladder, get on the console, and shut the grates right outside the hatch. Only go back down if there is absolute silence down there.

I was supposed to go Christmas shopping today.

>>3197398
>head back into the Z-Room
Tom opens the hatch just to make sure the monstrous thing is dealt with. No signs of movement come from it or the room beyond, and there is only silence.

Ruby knows that with Tom behind the grate, if she doesn't do this no one will.

Wait, so let me get this straight...the second button, the one corresponding to the skull closes the hatch?

>>3197410
F5 F5 F5 F5!!

Draw faster!

>>3197410

How intact is Ruby's sanity, mental health, and willpower, now that she has to crawl back into a bloody shaft?

>>3197414
211

>>3197414
The buttons were mirrored, since the poster was on the other side of the wall in the Z-Hatch room.

Use the hatch door to crack open the skull just in case there is something interesting inside.

I still say they need to press the water button.

>>3197425
Like an access card! :D

>>3197422

Ah, I think I understand.

>>3197430

Exactly.

>>3197427 could be right. The thing will propably pump the water outside via Z room pipe into the room right of the Z room. Which is propably Tom's cell. The roof hatch is open for floating out, but what about the lever thing on the roof? Why does it remind me of a tazer? And that electrocution button...

>>3197427

Do we know what the water button does?

>>3197451
Ew.

>>3197451
The song "Wave of Mutilation" just got stuck in my head.

>>3197443

I'm pretty sure that the designers of such a flooding mechanism would be wise enough to make the hatches shut once the flooding starts.

>>3197451

It's alright, Ruby, you don't need to fight your inhibitions, just let it all out...

>>3197451
Holy Jesus.

Inside the small closet is a ball of string. Ruby takes it with her.

/inventory
/equip robe
/equip wizard hat

It's on now bitches

>>3197471
There's something gold in the remains! Pick it up!

>>3197451
Ruby doesn't look happy. :O

Try the locker, then examine the room and the closet again.

>>3197471
Examine that yellow thing on the ground. I'm pretty sure that wasn't there before.

Take the string and use it to retrieve the 2nd card from Tom.

>>3197471
what;s the yellow patch on the floor?

>>3197451
Gosh, that's bloody.

THE CREATURE IN THE SKY
GOT SUCKED THROUGH A HOLE
NOW THERE'S A HOLE IN THE SKY

>>3197481
>>3197474
>>3197478

>>3197474
>There's something gold in the remains! Pick it up!
It appears to be a teeny-tiny key.

>>3197493
USE IT ON THE TINY TREASURECHEST! :D

>>3197493
Open the chest with the key.

>>3197471
USE STRING TO RETRIEVE KEYCARD NAO?

Is it long enough?

>>3197505
>USE IT ON THE TINY TREASURECHEST!
It clicks open softly.
There's an access card inside.

>>3197505
COMPLETELY forgot about that. What with the ZOMBIE.

OP completely freaked me out.

;_;

>>3197517

Swipe the second card. Once we get the third one, we need to set up heavy battle fortifications in the room with the divider, with a barricade and weaponry at hand. Tom may very well turn on us and try to kill us once we swipe the third card and release him.

>>3197517
Sweet, we're 2/3 on the cards now, all we gotta do is use the ball of string to get the 3rd from Tom and we can light the last 2 lights.

Feed the keycard to the machine like you did the last one.

>>3197513
>USE STRING TO RETRIEVE KEYCARD NAO?
Ruby heads back into the room with the cell...

>>3197519
Now we're finally - hopefully - ready to let Tom out. Assuming that's what happens when the cards are used... gosh. And assuming that we want to.

>>3197528
Thats... Yeah.

It occurs to me that Tom seems a bit off. He might be locked up for a good reason.

>>3197532
THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!

>>3197536
What choice do we have though?

I say we get the third card from Tom then think if letting him out is a good idea.

Ruby calls down the instructions, then lowers the string.
Tom ties the card to the end, and Ruby pulls it back up.

>>3197528
This. We need to prepare for the release of Tom. There must be a very good reason why he is imprisoned and quarantined.

Third card will flood the room. We need to find a code that enables or diables the lightbulb at the top to kill/not kill Tom.

>>3197548
Give him a few more fishies so he's not hungry for rabbit?

>>3197545

Drag as many things as we can from the upper room down the ladder, to the room with the divider. Topple the submarine too, but leave a clear path to the Z-Hatch and the ladder. We must prepare ourselves for the moment of judgment and fate.

THEN we should decide whether or not swiping the third card is a good idea.

Okay now what?

Do we let Tom out? What do we do after that? What about the lever at the top of Tom's cell?

Tom asks Ruby to let him out.

btw, kudos to /tg/ for not drawing their own pictures and pretending to be Weaver and throwing in sudden rule 34's or retarded crap. This has been the best thread I have seen in 4 years; it's a lot of fun. Thank you Weaver

>>3197569
>kudos to /tg/ for not drawing their own pictures and pretending to be Weaver
That happened in the /r9k/ thread, originally he didn't have a tripcode, then everyone started posting as him. That wasn't even close to the worst of it though.

Why is Tom IN the cell? why are you here? we didn't ask tom anything because he wasn't talking to us earlier

TOM WILL KILL YOU RUBY

>>3197567
And now - it's time to move on from Trilby's notes. On to DEMONOPHOBIA.

>>3197572
I don't post over there; got an archive of the mayhem?

>>3197567
I'm too paralyzed with fear to answer him.

>>3197548

Why? We were locked up too.

>>3197573
>Why is Tom IN the cell? why are you here? we didn't ask tom anything because he wasn't talking to us earlier
Actually in the first thread we asked him a bunch of things, and he said he just woke up in the cell with no idea how he got there (just like Ruby woke up in her much smaller cell/locker), and that he hadn't seen anyone and didn't know anything about where they are.

It seems unlikely, but consider that Ruby's story sounds just as unlikely.

Tom might press button 4 if we don't help him.

>>3197548
>There must be a very good reason why he is imprisoned and quarantined.
Was there a very good reason RUBY was imprisoned and quarantined?

Let's set up a barricade just in case, guys.

>>3197586
or 5 and flood the place or something.

>>3197587

Yeah! What does Ruby know about her own past?

>>3197587
she wouldn't take off her top

Use the cards! End the pain!

Tom really wants to come out.
Tom says he's scared and he's trapped.
Tom asks Ruby to please let him out now.

Choices:
1 Let him out
2 Press the water button and explain we need to pull the lever first.

I vote water: what about /tg/?

>>3197598

We let him out.

>>3197598
Break down and cry. Also sob "I don't know" over and over with incoherency.

>>3197605

>>3197598

Oh come ON! Tom has given us NO REASON to distrust him, he's been giving items up on request, and he fucking SAVED RUBY'S LIFE. That should count for something.
And now we won't even let him out of his deathtrap of a jail cell?!

You people are falling prey to the paranoia!

>>3197598
Get the letter opener back, then let Tom out.

>>3197605

How sure are we that's a lever? It could just be a taser, the source of the electricity.

>>3197614
AFTER I AM DONE HAVING A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN

I let him out.

New thread, presumably the last:
>>3197627

>>3197623
The wall between is only metal grating. If the water is pumped into the room, it won't matter to the subject of letting Tom out.

>>3197621

Yeah, that letter opener might come in handy.

>>3197644
Isn't the letter opener currently stuck in the eye that's in the z-hatch room?
