I look inside the backpack. what is in it?

>look room
>look backpack
>open backpack

>>11606565

The floor beneath you is made of polished wood, years of caked dust covering any luster it may have. Cobwebs stretch across the walls, undisturbed. The fire appears to be somewhat fresh. There is not a speck of dust on the painting.

The Television flickers, the snowstorm flickering to haze several times before continuing its drone.

You must first take the backpack.

Fuck your backpack nigger!

Go look for aspirin/food/water/landmarks

>>11606577
Take backpack, look at contents.

Can we see any firewood in the room?

>>look backpack
>>take backpack
>>open backpack
>>look inside backpack

The backpack contains a basic medical kit, suitable for treating only cuts and scrapes, a heavy duty flashlight, a water bottle, several granola bars, a hiker's guide to plants and animals, some rope, and a small field knife.

>>11606616
Slit wrists with knife, eat granola while waiting for death.

Check the door.
It's not locked or covered in blood or anything, right?

>>11606616
Take out field knife, put in easily accessed pocket, take rope out, sling over a shoulder, take out heavy duty flashlight, check if it works. Put backback on back.
Use flashlight (if working) to take a more thorough look around the room. See if we can find anything to burn in the fire - books, logs, etc.

What's on TV?

>>11606636

The details of the door are obscured in shadow, the meager light from the television not reaching that corner of the room.

>>11606649
>check contents of room.
>look closely at painting.

>>11606645

The flashlight clicks on with no trouble, the strong white beam of light highlighting the dark corners of the room. The rug where you had awoken is drenched in blood. In one corner lays a golden fire poker, also bloody. The door is a mess, covered in crimson hand prints and shallow recesses as if someone had tried to claw their way through.

The television only displays static, occasionally flickering to hazy lines, filling the room with white noise.

>>11606666

The painting stares back at you, the the young, dark haired girl almost seeming to jump off the canvas. Upon closer inspection you discover her lips have been sewn shut. There is another figure in the background, but it appears as if someone had tried to rub it out.

>>11606696
>examine back of painting. (it's not dusty? hmmm)
then
>aquire golden poker.

>>11606703

There is nothing behind the painting.

The poker is very sturdy, though the handle is a bit slippery in your bloody hand. The tip is shaped like a fleur de lys and is very sharp.

He keeps mentioning the tv. OBVIOUSLY we should interact with it in some way.

>>11606713
>clean hands and poker on rug.
>check head for cuts. bandage if necessary.

>>11606678
Our hands are fine though, right? (Apart from being bloody)

>take fire poker

Lets take that painting off the wall

>>11606713
Time to surf the channels.

>>11606723

your hands are clean.

Other than your headache, you appear to be in tact.

A gust of wind moans softly outside the window, the faint creaking of trees carried with it.

>>11606732

That is not a command I understand.

>>11606742
Look at TV. Manipulate channel changing device.

>>11606742
>go to television.
>change channels.

>>11606749

The static changes slightly as the channels are changed, the channel number appearing on the upper right corner of screen. Upon closer inspection, an old VCR sits beneath the television, a tape protruding out.

>>11606752
>Insert tape.
>change TV to appropriate channel. (3) =P

>>11606758
Oh no, no no no.
This will turn out very, very badly.
Step away from the TV, try opening the door.

>>11606758
Watch the tape. Keep fire poker ready.

>>11606758

The tracking is horrible. For several minutes, the distorted images and sound swim across the glass surface with no real rhyme or reason before coming into focus. It is the girl from the painting. She is pounding on the door, franticly scratching at it with her nails until her hands bleed. Her cries are muffled by the bloody threads holding her lips shut.

Off to the side, a distorted human shape approaches her, the girl turning and attempting to flee as the figure grabs her roughly, beating and stabbing her several times with the poker.

The image once again swims out of focus. What could have been a laugh or distorted speech crackles followed by the distinct thud of a door closing.

>>11606789
Check the painting again. Has it moved or changed?

>>11606800

The girl remains the same for the most part, but she looks... angry now? perhaps desperate?

The shadowy figure in the background has vanished.

>>11606814
Check behind us. Then try a door.

>>11606814
I knew I should have burned that damn painting. Sooo creepy.
>Turn off TV.
Stoke fire.
>Go to door.
>Listen for any sounds.

>>11606823

There is nothing behind you.

The door is locked. As you try to turn the handle a loud crash is heard behind you. The painting has fallen, the glass shattering as it hit the ground. An old brass key bounces toward you from the mess of broken shards.

>>11606833
FUCK.
Check painting again. Has it changed or moved? If so, chuck in fire.

>>11606836

The painting is blank, showing only the room the figures were standing in.

The painting is too big to stick in the fireplace.

>>11606843
Shred it and dispose of it. Find a way out.

>>11606843
>break a side of the painting frame
>cut piece of rug with knife
>rap cloth around the top of frame piece
>put makeshift torch in fire.
>once lit, acquire brass key.
>use on door.

>>11606864

Blood gushes from the painting as you plunge your knife into it, the canvas slipping from your fingers as the thick crimson fluid blinds you. You hear a wailing cry rising in pitch, your headache becoming unbearable.

As suddenly as it began it stopped, the blood that had sprayed before completely gone. The painting was back on the wall, glass restored. The girl was back, face contorted in agony as she clutched at a new stab wound in her chest.

Your knife is now bloody.

The only way out appears to be the door. The brass key is still where it had fallen.

>>11606901
awkwardly apologize to girl in the painting. Grab key, use on door, run the fuck away.

>>11606833
>>11606836
>>11606864
The girl - she was murdered unjustly, her angry spirit haunts the place.

WE MUST AVENGE HER, IF SHE IS TO BE SATISFIED. PICK UP THE PAINTING - KISS HER FOREHEAD - ASK FOR GUIDANCE.

>>11606906
honest mistake. I totally forgot about the flashlight. A big, burny torch couldn't hurt, as opposed to a tiny knife.

>let's get the hell out of this room.

>>11606887

The room opens to a large common room. old couches sit facing large oak tables. To one side sits a bar, what must have once been spectacular golden filigree decorating it ornately. Beyond the counter sit many old bottles of wine, the cobwebs undisturbed. There is blood here too, though less of it, and only in droplets.

There are 4 doors in this room. The door you just exited, main double doors, probably the entrance to the building. the door behind the bar, and another door straight across the foyer.

There are several blank paintings here and one more of the girl. She seems restored in this one, wearing a white dress, her hair neatly brushed, but her chest still sports the same stab wound from before. She seems to be looking at the bar.

>>11606967
I think we need a drink. Or ten.
TO THE BAR!

>>11606967
"Don't go in the pimped out bar, jack...."

Looks like I'm going to the bar door.

>>11607009

You approach and slide behind the bar. Everything seems to be in tact, though there is no bottle opener for the wines. The dates on the bottles go back as far as the 1800's. The labels on the bottles are stained brown along the edges as if from moisture damage.

The floor is checkered here, and makes your headache slightly worse when you stare at it.

>>11607053

There appears to be nothing under the bar, nor behind it.

You feel a chill down your spine.

As you turn to apologize to the painting, you see that it has changed again. The girl looks beyond terrified, her pale hands covering her mouth in a silent scream. She is staring directly at the bar door to your right.

>>11607088
>Sprint to the foyer door.
>enter

>>11607088
We should try to find a smaller version of the painting to take with us. For early warning, and maybe companionship...

>>11607120

The door is open a fraction, an oddly deafening silence emanating from the other side.

The poker is humming softly in your hand, heat radiating from the fleur de lys head.

>>11607157
>Playing survival quest
>Kicks open door, screaming

WHAT THE FUCK????

We wait, dumbass.

>>11607157

The door opens with a loud crash, the oppressive silence vanishing.

You suddenly feel as if your being watched, constant chills running down your spine, your palms breaking into a cold sweat.

Beyond the door is a large room, sentences in another language, strange symbols, and nonsensical ranting words are all scrawled hastily on the walls in blood.

Suspended and stretched by hooks in the center of the room is a human face, its features contorted into a mock perversion of humor.

Below it is a obsidian and granite alter. It is filled with a rancid decaying sludge that must have been organic tissue at one point.

Despite the obvious decay below it, the face is preserved eerily well. Upon closer inspection, it is not the face of the little girl.

>>11607187
I find it's usually best to listen to the captcha.

>>11607207

Do we know what kind of language it is? Does it bear any resemblance to Earth languages?

Keep clear of the goop by the way.

>>11607207
What's the glowing firepoker doing now?

>>11607207
say -"well, fuck that,"

>examine room further, any doors in here,
>stay in door way though
>and keep insanely paranoid about any sounds from behind.

>captcha - rotten conferman

also, weighted companion portrait?

how would we go about healing the portrait, maybe use something from the medical kit, and see if cutting at her mouth sewings would work.

>>11607208
Survive by confronting what we need to survive??
You are COMPLETELY retarded. Survival give you the notion that the odds are stacked against you. If you left the flashlight on the bar and watched from the foyer, you could look at the menace w/o confrontation and possibly get the drop on it.

captcha: placrod intertextuality

>>11607247

I support this. Try tinkering with the portret

>>11607226

Your feet are frozen to the spot. The ornate looping designs on the rug in this room seem to be creeping closer.

When you look up again, the suspended face had turned toward you, the hooks growing looser and tighter, slowly contorting it into a victorious sneer.

>>11607231

The fire poker is humming louder now, the soothing light its producing somehow keeping your aching mind from total panic.

>>11607259

THIS THIS THIS

BURN AT THE CARPET WITH THE POKER

Guys i thin we screwed up....

Try burning yourself on the arm with the poker to snap out of it so you will be able to runn trough the door and close it behind you asap!

>>11607277

you slash wildly at the approaching tendrils, but it does nothing. They wrap around your legs and climb up your body, constricting.

You slash the poker at the face, tearing the fragile skin from the hooks with a sound akin to the screech of tearing metal.

The tendrils vanish, sending you reeling face first into the sludge, a good bit getting in your mouth. There are not words to describe the rancid flavor filling your mouth.

Your ears are filled with the sound of thousands of tortured screams, the pain of your headache knocking you unconcious.

-----------------------------

You awake with a start some time later from a nightmare. A man in a black robe had taken a knife and sheered off your face, replacing the one on the hooks you destroyed.

Shakily you climb to your feet, the poker impaled on the carpet a distance away, the ground around it scorched badly and still smoking, the smell of burned human flesh thick in the air.

Your face hurts and you feel sick, having swallowed some sludge.

>>11607303
yeah, and now we have a fuck-ton of hook and shit after us and we're frozen in place. GREAT job. Stop posting.

I think something got the op... WE ARE NEXT!!!

>>11607325

Get up. Get the poker. Look around. What the fuck is going on?

>survival quest
>no attempt to leave house
Nice.

>>11607325
Touch face. Also, find mirror.

And portable version of the portrait.

>>11607334

You take the poker.

Nothing in the room seems to have changed. You no longer feel like your being watched.

>>11607339

Your skin is tender to the touch. There is no mirror nearby.

>>11607340
I get my face back.

>>11607340
that would be because nothing wants to look at someone missing a face,

why the hell didn't we burn the house down from the get-go.

so we actually have no face......

i'm not sure what our next course of action should be.

>>11607350

You touch your face again, making sure its still attached to your head, shuddering from the realistic dream.

Go out of the room to the bar and check the portrait of the girl to see if anything has changed.

>>11607343
do we still have the knife?

if so open the blade and look into the metal, use it as a tiny mirror.

>>11607359

You exit the room.

The girl is no longer in the portrait. You shiver, feeling as if someone was standing to your left, near the bar.

>>11607371
We go to the foyer.

>>11607371
DO NOT turn to look, just grip poker, DO NOT look, remember what happened last time we looked, yeah thats right we lost our face, so DONT LOOK

>>11607362

Your face has some sludge on it, but other than that your face is all there. Your skin seems to be developing a rash though, and your eyes are red and swollen.

>>11607383

the poker is neither glowing nor humming

looks like this poker heats up when we're about to get our fucking faces ripped off. Noted.

>>11607371
Don't turn around slowly.
Insantly whip around while raising the poker to our defence...
I also get a strange feeling I know where the girl has gone...

We havn't tried communicating with anything yet... I dont know if its a good idea or not but maybe we should whisper "Anyone there?" or something along those lines

>>11607396
where?

>>11607396

There is now a large picture frame sitting on the bar. The little girl is there, a concerned look on her face.

She is paler and weaker than she was before, her white dress stained all the way down with blood from the stab wound.

>>11607387

Examine our situation. How does the foyer look like now. What items do we still have left.

After that aproach the exit and try to open it.

>>11607408
Let's finish this lady off. She's probably not going to do anything but scream, maybe then we can leave this house if she's... double dead?

>>11607408
WE MUST HEAL HER

take medical kit out of backpack and head to the picture, use suitable medical supplies to fix the wound we made,

if we die well at least we die saving the little girl.

>>11607408
put a bandage on the wound of the painting. Hope that holds until we find some paint and paint over the wound.

>>11607408
Nervously talk to her; obviously surprised she's changed position...appologize again for stabbing her and ask if we can do anything to help with the wound.
Because stabbing one of the few allies we're going to get in this game was a Bad Idea.
Making it up to her is a Good Idea.

>>11607423
also we're not getting out of here, we're already infected/contaminated with whatever the goop was, and our face is rashed, the best we can hope to do is to defeat this evil and stop it hurting anyone else ever again.

>>11607423

You stick the band aid on the picture frame. It looks kind of silly sitting there. Suddenly there is a bright flash and the girl's pose has changed. Her dress is still bloody, but there is no hole.

She is staring directly up at you.

>>11607433
HELL YES!

say - is there anything else I can do to help?

>>11607430

The girl doesn't move. As you blink the picture changes, one of her hands touching her chest, managing to smile even through the thread that binds her lips.

>>11607433
cut the mouth sewings, and apologise for any pain caused, then kiss her on the forehead, and get back to surviving.

>>11607443
Say: If I cut the bandages on your mouth will it let you speak? Show an open palm for yes, a closed fist for no.

>>11607433
Point to your mouth.
Point to her.
Give her a questioning gesture.
Look away for a second.
Look back.

>>11607451
Ambiguous gesture, Colonel. She's gonna think you want to kiss her.

>>11607448

as you look down to reach for the knife and look back, the girl's pose has changed again, both hands clasped over her mouth, her face turned slightly away, her eyes huge and terrified, staring at the knife.

The wind howls outside again. Your face itches.

>>11607451
>>11607455
he means can she hear us (or at lest i think thats what he means)

>>11607451
W
t
f...

>>11607457
break open a bottle of liquor.
Wash rash, hoping to disinfect it.
wipe face with shirt

>>11607449

You look away and back again. Her closed fist takes up most of the picture frame.

Anyone wonders why the girl went all the way across the room to the bar?

Maybe we should check the place where the picture first hung and then maybe hang her back there?

>>11607457
push knife up against frame (attach with bandages if we need to) side on against the picture.

>>11607465

the bottle breaks with a loud crash, blood and what looks like a dead human fetus splatter across the countertop and sink.

The tiny thing is contorted horribly, a pair of curling horns protruding from its tiny skull.

>>11607468
Put the knife on the portrait, handle first. See if we can hand it through to her so she can unsew her mouth.

>>11607457
Nod and put the knife away.
"Well; if you want them left in...look; do you have any ideas what's going on here...because I don't...and sorry about before, we didn't know what we were doing."

>>11607484
OOOOOOOOOOOOOHFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

>>11607486
>>11607478

she obviously does not want her mouth unsewn...

>>11607484
....

avoid daemon fetus, do not open anything else.

>>11607489
do not refer to self as we.

>>11607500

You step back from the tiny thing. It doesn't move, its huge eyes closed and lifeless. The girl is staring at the fetus, horrified, looking as if she may be sick.

The fire poker is not glowing or humming.

The edges of your eyes are burning faintly.

Examine daemon fetus. Proceed to examine remaining bottles. Attempt to read etiquets.

>>11607501
The Royal "We" *grin*

>>11607484
Flash light on the rest of the bottles.
Are they all like this?

>>11607515
are you trying to unleash a daemon fetus army on us?

>>11607501
>>11607515
>>11607489
This is what /tg/ Quest games do to you.
Wait until the character starts speaking with the unearthly voice of 1000 anonymous assorted nerds.
'Our name is /tg/, for we are many.'

>>11607511

The fetus is bloated and sickly. In addition to its horns it has tiny pinprick teeth and claws. There is nothing else special about it.

The other bottles are all newer. there is no brand name printed on the label, only a date. The liquid inside is too opaque to see through.

>>11607526
also clean the knife and scrape face to see what comes off.

>>11607526

water pours out of the sink, but the pressure is horrible and it is heavily tainted with rust.

The faint smell of brimstone emanates from the sink.

>>11607538

you wipe the blade clean on your pants and gently run the blade over your skin, scraping lightly.

a thin layer of the goop from the other room is on the knife.

>>11607532
Read the date on a few of the bottles. Attempt to search for an average date. Carefully grab one of the bottles and examine the liquid inside.

>>11607551
Right.
Rub face on clean part of inner Sleeve.
There is no fucking way that there's anything inside our sleeves.
Also, go sit down next to the girl and talk to her for a bit, she seems to know what's going on, and even if she can't talk she might tell us something useful through gestures...try to convince her to let us cut the stitches through gentle persuasion and explaining what we're going to do, try to convince her to trust us despite what we did before.

>>11607569
>There is no fucking way that there's anything inside our sleeves.
i like your faith in our sleeves

>>11607559
hm... compare the contents of the bottle with the water. Do they both smell of brimstone?

Atempt to clean face with any rags or other cloth around. Not the portrait. Observe the portrait while I do this, what does the girl express?

>>11607561

There is one bottle for every 10th year. There is not yet a bottle for this year.

A faint pattering sound starts up and a distant clap of thunder echos through the room.

Anyone else think that we were the dude that killed the girl in the painting?

>>11607583
Is "this year" 2010?

>>11607583
>A faint pattering sound starts up and a distant clap of thunder echos through the room.

Grab poker in one hand, hold the knife in the other. put myself in a position that I can observe all doors.

>>11607583
I bet any money that this year is this year's 10th.

While looking at the bottles I ask her, "What should I do now? go to the foyer?"
I look at her.

>>11607569

Your face feels very raw, but the burning isn't getting worse. Your eyes still hurt though.

The girl moves as you look away, in a series of still shots. She points to each of the stitches in her mouth in turn before turning to look in the general direction of the demon fetus.

Her mouth has seven stitches.

Your stomach feels worse.

>>11607593
I think we're fighting the dude who killed the girl in the painting.

>>11607583
I think we're going to become the Foetus for this year...

>>11607611
how many fetus bottles are there?

>>11607610

You blink and she instead looks at the door behind the bar again, one finger pressed to her lips in a "hush" gesture.

>>11607611
"One stitch for each foetus...so someone is still doing this to you; 70 years so far and...Hmm...another one this year...is there anything we can do to help?...and why are we here?"

>>11607614
yeah, me to.

Allright, How's that thunder storm coming along? Are there any windows in the room? Is the room well lit?

>>11607624
Stay silent; crouch down slightly so we can see the door, but are hidden from it. Take poker in hand and prepare for the worst.

>>11607620

The first bottle, the one you smashed, was dated 1800. There is one for every ten years not counting this one.

>>11607637

The door remains how you left it. The fleur de lys on the poker is silent.

smash bottles? No, probably not a good idea...
yes, let's check outside. Anyone with me on this?

20 bottles yet seven stitches. Well, presuming that it is 2010, the only connection i can see is 3#7 = 21 but...

>>11607664
Ask, "go back into that room? Open hand: yes, Closed hand: no"

>>11607673
The number of stitches sounds like a red-herring, at least for now.
Is there more areas to explore?

>>11607645
see i was thinking they were related to the stitches, and that if we destroyed enough she would be unstitched

well that theory didnt last long

>>11607676

She displays her open hand when you look away and back, followed again by the gesture for silence.

Your stomach ache is worsening. A wave of nausia hits you.

>>11607685

Let's go back to the room, then. Poker at the ready.

>>11607676
I'm with him.

Also ask: "is this place safe?"

>>11607685
Water.
Take a hit of what's in our canteen.
Might help neutralize whatever we....ate.
Or.
Induce vomiting. Get it out, despite the other nasty effects.

>>11607693
do we take her with us?

because she seems to be able to get around fine on her own

Keep in mind that after pointing to each of her stitches, she looked only at the new fetus -- not at any of the remaining bottles.

Also, OP, I don't think you ever told us what the date was on the bottle we broke.

>>11607685
Whisper 'tell us when its safe again'
Go silent as ordered.
Remain silent until she tells us we can talk again by doing a motion.

>>11607695

You take a drink from your water bottle. It helps a little but you still feel sick.

>>11607693
the... the weird room with the sludge and evil carpet? hm... is there any source of open fire around? Fireplace, torch, gas/oil lamp anything like that?

>>11607699
(yes i did ;3 1800)

>>11607685
She either doesn't want us to talk to her, or she's telling us we need to proceed quietly.

I say we do both, for now

eat a granola bar. Still checking for fire. Is there anything else in the backpack? And yes, what WAS the date on the bottle we smashed?

>>11607699
>new fetus
And by that I meant "newly broken out." Not "most recently bottled."

Also, it might be kind of early, but I want to give major props to the OP. This is the first quest to be awesome enough catch my interest in a longggg time. And you're not even using images.

>>11607707
Fuck.
Hmm.

Best I can tell we need to seriously avoid getting really sick, and that "meat" is doing us no favors.

So, vomit. Finger in mouth, aim at the sink.
Make what went down, come up.
If we were outdoors the Field Guide might help us find something to deal with the rash, stomach aches, and probably oncoming fever -white birch bark for tea, for example.
But we aren't, so I speak of doing it the hard way.
Expunge.

>>11607719

You move into the room silently. Everything was as you left it, but the oppressive silence was back, shadows flickering at the corners of your vision.

Almost completely obscured by bloody writing is a door on the other side of the room.

>>11607735
>If we were outdoors the Field Guide might help us find something to deal with the rash, stomach aches, and probably oncoming fever -white birch bark for tea, for example.
I'd go ahead and give it a looksy(look-see?) anyway. Seems silly not to.

>>11607737
=O

What does it say?

>>11607735
Purging looks like a good idea.

>>11607737
Check the floor. Examine the room more carefully. How fresh does the blood look? How is the room lit? are any of the chains free of the main structure? Are they rusty or clean?

>>11607731

The granola bar helps quite a bit. The crackling of the wrapper makes the shadows twitch and undulate slightly. The girl looks up at you from the picture frame, eyes huge, one finger pressed desperately to her mouth.

The rain becomes louder.

>>11607737
Move quietly to the other door. Stay hidden.

GAY QUEST THREAD REPORTED

>>11607751

The blood on the walls is dried and old. The shadows slowly calm, resuming their muddling. The chains are all rusty, the hooks dangling dangerously.

The girl is staring at the door across the room.

>>11607751
again, I examine the room. Refer to >>11607753

How are we still seeing the girl if we are in the other room? Did we leave the door open? we better have left the door open...

>>11607753
FFFFFFF- who decided we needed a snack in the middle of the scary room, huh?
Bright fucking idea indeed.

I say we make our way very quietly over to that door, see whats written on it.
VERY QUIETLY.

Also, can OP please use a name / trip?

Suggestion: don't just say "barf yo shit up, brah!"

If we're going to be doing any puking, I'd prefer not to just blow chunks all over the floor in the middle of a haunted house.

And now that we've eaten that granola bar, I'm hesitant to barf at all.

>>11607773
1. the girl seems to have lots of pictures around the house,
or
2. has the ability to move through pictures and frames,

i think its more likely 2

>>11607771
I take a step forward. Poker in hand and knife ready to draw.

Or wait, we had rope, right? I empty the medical kit into my backpack, tie the empty box to the rope and toss it forward.

>>11607757

Nothing seems to change as you move across the room and you reach the other door with no trouble.

Thunder claps again, closer this time.

>>11607771
Move down those mossy stairs and to the other door. Quietly.

>>11607785
Hey, could be we'll be ok on that front.
Time will tell.
Gotta bow out, RL calls.
GL with this thread, OP and company. Tis pretty good, hopefully I'll return to it's continuance.

ignore all comments on throwing up and making noise

we need to move silently, and get to that door.
but keep looking back to the girl just in case

>>11607791
>Lets make tons of noise!
Good idea.

>>11607796
so the previous time we entered the room all that hapened is we got scared shitless and fell, right...? I examine the door, but keep an eye out for any movement or other suspicious things.

>>11607796
Examine the door.
Any writing on it?
Ask her if we should open it.

look at girl and in some way communicate to her "should I open the door?"
but silently.
using small gestures and mouthing the words if needed

FUCK THE MODS DELETING GAMEPLAY POSTS

>>11607814

the door is covered in lots of unreadable blood scrawl. The girl is watching you from her picture frame expectantly.

The shadows seem to grow wary, moving more quickly the longer you spend nearby. The poker sends several faint pulses up your arm.

what the fuck, you nigger mod. I'm going to rape you so hard

>>11607834
reach for door handle, then look at girl, if everything is ok then proceed to open door cautiously with poker ready.

>>11607834
Don't waist any time.
Open the door as quietly as possible.

>>11607834

Examine the door, is it locked? Is it closed? Can you peek trough the keyhole? If yes do that!

>>11607842

beyond the door is a large closet. The ground is piled high with writing instruments ranging from #2 pencils to large oil crayons to sharpies and other markers.

>>11607851

Well we are supposed to survive.... but i really really wanna know whats on the other side of that door...

So i guess i would vote for a silent aproach at opening the door.

>>11607834
Unreadable... any symbols, does it indicate anything specific to this door? A representation of a demon, anything?

Okay, I slowly open the door with the poke, knife in the other hand ready to strike if necesary.

>>11607834
We're running out of time - see if they're any keyhole we can peek through, maybe see something on the other side of the door - if so, take a quick look
Otherwise, let us quietly proceed through the door

>>11607863
>>11607861
>>11607858


door is open.

look at girl with a puzzled look on our face, see what she wants us to do next, and look back at the room quickly, to make sure nothing is there, but don't look for too long

>>11607856
Any paper? Books? If yes, what do they depict. What kind of paper?

Examine the closet and the rest of the room, weapons still at the ready. Look for something that can reflect, a mirror, water, something

Also still looking for open sources of fire. Candles?

>>11607856

Take some of the writing instruments. And proceed to examine the room.

With writing utensils, maybe we can properly communicate with the girl? Assuming we can get them into the painting with the power of creepy ghost magic.

>>11607878

there is no fire

nothing has changed though the shadows seem more active...

The girl is leaning forward now, holding her hands in such a way as if were carrying a bundle of things.

>>11607856
Grab a few instruments, close the door quietly, then get out of that room.

If need be, we could go back.

>>11607888
good idea, we need to find a big marker, lets rummage

OPizzle, it would be appreciated if you took up a name/trip.

>>11607895
I grab a couple of pencils and other writing utensils. Also anything that I could use as a weapon, Letter openers and such.

What about the closet? And is there paper or not?

Take as much of the writing stuff as we can and put it into our backpack for now.

If we take just one pencil or something, you know that shit is going to break when we need it most.

>>11607899

The girl looks relieved as you exit the room. The shadowy man is behind her again.

>>11607895
Tuck the poker into your pants or something - grab a handful of pens, get out of dodge.

I don't like being in this room one bit.

>>11607915
point at shadowy man, in a way which suggests he's there, offer knife again if needs be.

I archived the thread. I also said that /tg/'s character was "naked and bloody", only to come back to the thread and see no references to nudity.

Freudian slip?

>>11607915
Back to the main room!

>>11607915
Signal to her - bring out your knife, stab the fucking figure in the background.

What good is a pen or pencil with no paper? Grab some, but check for paper. Also, if there is paper, offer the girl a pencil and paper, and point out the shadow behind her.

>>11607925

As you look away to grab your knife and look back, the girl is already in the clutches of the man. He is closer to the glass now, still oddly blurred. His eyes are nothing but white blank spots where it looks like the picture was scratched off.

>>11607944
Stab that fucker!

>>11607944
so shall we stab at the man, all the while keeping our eyes open and on him,

>>11607944
USE AN ERASER ON HIM!!!!

>>11607944
Check poker. Also ready knife and observe. Keep check of my suroundings as well.

>>11607944
STAB HIM!!!!

>>11607944
Attempt to stab man with poker.

>>11607944
press the poker to the picture of the shadowey figure

>>11607968
YES! Use the magic poker!

UPDATE FASTER OP GODDAMIT

suddenly silyness. I check the office suplies. anything usefull I can offer her?

>>11607954

You ram your knife into the face of the man, shattering the glass cover on the portrait. Black ichor spews out and a hellish wail fills the room. The walls distort, seeming to melt.

hellish creatures pour out of the walls their eyes like hot coals, tearing into your soul. The poker in your hand screams with power, its light partially blinding you, your headache cracking your skull in two...

Just as you thought you could stand no more, it stopped, the room returning to normal.

The vision leaves you more than a little shaken. The girl is gone from the picture frame.

The fetus is gone.

>>11608006
FIND ANOTHER PORTRAIT! We must find the girl!

>>11608006

Try to open the entrance door!

>>11608021

You look franticly at the other portraits in the room. They are all empty. There remains another door to be explored.

>>11608006
suddenly all the horrible unexplainable shit in the house has hidden from us, shit.

that or we killed it, but the chances our luck is that good is very small.

head back to original room for a minute.

if everything is normal there then we can go exploring

>>11608006
Sit up, eat, drink. Check the room.

>>11608006
Oh great, now our friend (?) is gone.

How many doors are there, which ones have we failed to explore?

Also, can we take this chance to read that survival book, or at least glance over it?

>>11608006
So was there anything in the closet besides stuff to draw with?

>>11608034
NOW we go the Foyer door.

The walk outside and look at the house. How big is it? Where is it, what surounds it? What kind of architectural stye is it in? How many floors?

Is there a drinks cabinet?

>>11608034
check the other rooms first then explore the unknown one.
also i think the girl wanted pens and stuff so she could write a message

>>11608030

You rush to the main door. As you grab the knob, it bursts in your hand like a rotten fruit, hundreds of maggots pouring out. The door itself slowly slumps down.

After a minute, the front door has ceased to be, replaced now with a squirming pile of white worms, all blindly squirming in search of food.

thank our poker quietly for delivering us from the evil, (its always good to have happy weapons)

>>11608062
Back away from the maggots. Did we ever get a torch? Now is a good time to use a torch.

>>11608034
Take one of the writing devices - scribble a note on the portrait -
"Where have you gone? We need your help..."

>>11608062
step back, find some material to set alight, light said material, kill worms with fire.

>>11608062
what's behind the dor?

>>11608060
yep. I figured that too.
I was planning on lying the painting on the floor and giving her a bunch of writing utensils and looking away.

>>11608072

The words sink into the picture and vanish.

>>11608068

You back away quickly. The maggots dont do much, spreading out a bit as they wiggle aimlessly.

There is another door to explore.

You're starting to feel sick again.

>>11608107

Eat more granola.
Drink water.
Go through the Foyer door.

>>11608107

how? Did we miss one door?

>>11608107
eat and drink, to avoid nausea, like we did before,

step back from maggots and check the guide, we need to know all we can before exploring further.

even better, look in guide to see what the maggots/worms are and if they are in any way beneficial to our health if eaten.

>>11608116
Agreed. Now, Wh'at's behind the magot door? Seriously want some fire you guys...
also, how much water & food do we still have? Weren't we in a bar? Is there only Foetus bottles?

>>11608116

You open your backpack.

The fetus is inside.

Hug poker.
Read book.

HUG POKER.
READ BOOK.

Our fire poker is now called "Jab". On the side, written in blacksmith, are the words:
"Golpoker is my name, I am the demons bane"

>>11608126

(let me clarify. You entered the large room. There was a bar off to one side and a lounge to the other. There was a door in front of you. the door behind teh bar was off to the right, the front door is off to the left. The front door just turned into a pile of maggots.)

>>11608132
.....

(hold back scream)

(continue holding back scream)

(put down bag and back away)

(be ready to deal with daemon fetus')

.....

>>11608144
>now called "Jab"
>Golpoker is my name
nigga what

>>11608132
Any water well, fireplace, bucket of acid I can leave it in? If no I push it out with the poker.

Again, how are we on supplies, and are there more nearby in the bar?

>>11608132
fire + prayer to any diety we are familiar with +fetus = fetus destroying holy fire

>>11608154
Let's try to avoid stabbing any fetuses we come across.

I'm down for dumping the fetus out of the bag.

I want to eat that factory-sealed granola.

>>11608132
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Holy shit. What do we do?
Throw it on that fire in the original room?
Stab it?
Leave the bag?
Tip it out and leave?

What if it follows us?
WHAT IF WE HAVE TO KILL IT QUICKLY, BEFORE IT GROWS STRONGER?
WHAT IF WE CAN'T KILL IT, AND TRYING TO HARM IT MERELY AWAKENS SOME TERRIBLE PRESENCE?

Oh wait... maybe the fetuses represent the stiches on her mouth...
MAYBE IF WE KILL THE FETUSES WE REMOVES THE STITCHES...

OKAY STOP.

OP, 1: do we have food? And water? is there more to be found? What was behind the door with maggots? What is there in the room besides foetus bottles?

Also, no stabing foetuses. Seems a bad idea. Last time we stabed something the unholy forces of hell atacked us and we lost our only ally. So hold back on the stabing!

>>11608147

The fetus flops limply out of your bag. It's still dead.

Booming laughter fills the room, a demonic voice speaking in a language you cant understand echos in your ears. The voice sounds mocking.

You look up. The little girl is back.

>>11608163
sounds like a good idea, we would just have to make sure we dont inhale the smoke

>>11608194
tell the big booming voice to "fuck off"

ask the girl if she's ok, and what happened

>>11608194

We're being toyed with. The fucker.

Examine the state of the little girl.

>>11608193

>check inventory

You have 2 granola bars, a knife, a rope, a flashlight, a field guide, and a bottle of water with one sip taken.

>>11608194
"fuck you DrvonEvilsatan"
Hm... I check if the girl is allright, and offer her a pen.

>>11608194
Check if the man is there.
Ask her if she wants the writing utensils. Put her hand out if yes. Closed if no.

>>11608194
It's time to put those writing implements to good use.
Try to see if we can "hand" one over to her - failing that, we'll start scrawling some questions on the painting.

Hello?
Who are you?
What do you want from us?
Where are we?
What is that baby?
How do we get out of here?

>>11608209
before we eat or drink anything we need to check if its been contaminated by the dead fetus or daemon in any way.

>>11608206

the girl looks horrible, her eyes huge and haunted. She is covered with small cuts and bruises, her hair is a mess. One of her stitches has been cut, dark liquid trickling out of the corner of her mouth.

>>11608203
>>11608206
>>11608210
>>11608213
Anonymous wants to save the little girl

>>11608220

your food and drink is wrapped up and clean, though a spot or two of blood did get here and there

>>11608224

I have a feeling that her sewn mouth is holding back the evil whatever-it-is.

>>11608224
Oh my god... I'm so sorry... I thought he was going to hurt you, I wanted to stop him!


Those bandages seemed to work before - maybe we can clean the painting up, or better still, use the writing implements to draw / clean her up?

>>11608224
Attempt to patch her up with the medkit. Also offer her a pen again.

>>11608241
it has crossed my mind that she is the daemon, but i didn't want to say because I thought it would prompt OP to use her as such.

>>11608224
ask girl what do? with fetus

>>11608218

when you look away and back, the pen is still there. She cant take it.

Her eyes tear up a bit with each question the holes from the cut thread oozing blood and other vile substances.

Your stomach really hurts.

see you over eager idiots? That's what happens when you go around stabing portraits. Don't be too eager.

Now. Doesn she comunicate in anyway?

>>11608247

you fix her cuts and scrapes easily, but her mouth remains the same.

You blink and she looks toward the other room.

>>11608257
Eat another bar. Drink water. Check the book if it has anything useful to say. Atempt to patch up the girl with bandages again.

>>11608257
See >>11608246
Wet your sleeve, try and 'wipe' away the blood and use the bandages / pens to try and do some basic patching up?

If everything works out, point to the door that just disintegrated into maggots and repeat that hand out / hand in for yes / no routine?

>>11608257

Eat Granola.
Go through last door.

Check mouth for stitches/holes where stitches might have been.

>>11608257
eat granola bar, take a draught of water from the canister,

(it is my suspicion that she is an unwilling captive of the daemon/BBEG, being forced to do things, and helping us whenever she can, but has very recently paid the price via a beating from the evil monster,

it may actually be her fault we're here, she seems upset at the questions, so i assume she had something to do with it.

>>11608271

You feel better.

The book is a basic survival guide, but it does touch on edible plants.

>>11608259
>Derp, my way would have been much better!
Unknown, buddy.
For all we know the guy could have been trying to kill her.

Let's go through the newly opened door, quietly and cautiously.

prepare to enter the final room, grasp poker tightly in hand and make peace with our god(s), no matter the outcome of this venture we will have done our best.

eat granola bar first and read book

Advance on the other door, keeping check of the walls, ceiling and floor. Any Good spots for hiding? I examine the door. (I am picturing this all to occur in a slightly more dowtroden version of the Shining's Hotel)

>>11608274

you make your way to the last door. It is a darkened hallway, illuminated by many weak lamps. There is a staircase going down here and another door.

>>11608310
flashlight leads the way. I go cautiously.

>>11608257

I think I got it now.

The rotting remains in your stomach? They're the girl's.

OP is prompting us with our stomach constantly. We should probably get to dealing with it.

>>11608310
venture onwards, unafraid of the shadows.

>>11608310
WHAT kind of lamps? Oil lamps? Examine the other door, knife ready.

>>11608310
ready 'holy poker of daemon smiting'

>>11608321
vimiting might be a good idea

>>11608310

Poker in one hand, flashlight in the other. TACTICAL HOLY FIREPOKER.

Also, has there been any plants/vegetation in the house, now that you have mentioned it?

>>11608320

You hear the sound of laughing children and your mind is filled with images of the girl playfully chasing an older man, probably her father, through the hallway.

Following behind them is a slightly shorter man in a black robe, the hood down. He is bald, a huge scar running over one eye.

the finer defining features of the vision are too blurry to make out

There is a door and a staircase in front of you.

>>11608344
>>11608353
It's "Jab".
The name is "Jab".

>>11608362

Doesn't mean the remains are the flayed face's.

Also, depending on style of horror, maybe that face is buried in the girl's mouth, ready to unfurl when all stitches are cut.

>>11608365
smile, and open the door, not carefully or quietly, just open it normally, poker in one hand flashlight in the other.

>>11608365
I step down the staircase, carefully and opne the door, poker first.

OP: you should start a new thread since this one isn't bumping anymore.

>>11608321
THERE'S AN UNHOLY DEMON FETUS GROWING IN OUR STOMACH -
WE'RE FEEDING IT.

I say we vomit, and soon.
Good old finger to back of throat, yannow?

Keep going lads, you're nearly there.

>>11608394
Good idea... Let's puke, then burn it. Where, oh please where can I find things to make a fire. I didn't bring a lighter?

I think "LOOK AT PAINTING! INDUCE VOMITING!" is this quest's "HUG TOM! READ NOTE!"

>>11608394
you 'just' worked that out?

hell the reason i want us to advance so quickly is so we can kill the evil thing and then off ourself.

I've spent half the thread waiting for alien style chest bursting, and am glad it hasn't yet happened

>>11608390

I'll start a new thread in a moment but please archive this one.

>>11608412
I don't think we'll be dying via chest-burster.

>>11608417
see
>>11607926

>>11608412
which is why I am constantly looking for fire. What are you gonna do against demons with no fire? Holy water would help to...

Hey, can we go outside OP I wanna check the garage for battery acid.

Forget I said that. I enter the room at the end of the staircase

>>11608410
>Stomach feels really bad
>ingested fetid, rotting remains
>Get that shit out of my system
> = vomit fetish

You're asking for a chestburster sequence, aren't you?

Any chance of getting a new image to accompany the new thread, OP? You did a really nice job with the one for this thread.

New thread yet?

>>11608380

(the stairs are a different direction than the door)

The door creaks open. it's a little girl's room.

Elated, The girl vanishes from your picture frame, appearing in the picture frame above her bed. She is wearing a new dress again, though her mouth is still oozing.

On the dresser is a picture of her and the man she was chasing in the vision. He is supporting her with one muscular arm. Both are smiling happily. The top of the man's face is torn off.

The little girl points to her wall. There is a symbol drawn there.

It is a scribbled circle, a plus sign crossing in the middle, small perpendicular lines on the ends of the plus lines.

She pointed at the symbol, then her cut stitch, and held up her hands as if blocking a strike.

>>11608433
>can we go outside?
Pretty sure that's not an option, brah. Otherwise we could just leave this creepy-flavored Weird Puzzle Shit behind.

>>11608460
I Scrape the knife along the symbol, then the poker. Watch the painting.

>>11608457

making new thread now. Will have creepy greyscale girl face on it. archive this

A symbol that protects from evil...? Use a writing utensil and draw it on her portrait/your skin/backpack.

>>11608460
Does that mean we're safe here? Or does she mean that the symbol is related to the asshole that cut her stitch?

>>11608460

Oh good, its this quest's version of the Elder Sign.

Save your game here guise. Also, where is new thread OP?

>>11608403
ask if its some form of ward or barrier?

>>11608483

new thread is up

>>11608460
if its what i think it is then we are everything BUT safe here, OP, quickly draw it in paint will you, just so i can check that it is what i think it is.

new thread here
