Pray for the safety of Ness and his friends.

Now I must wait for the adventureres to join me...

rolled 58 = 58

>>11610846
With a bellow of 'NO!', run; scoop the child in our arms and leg it for the door.

Grab the girl and run. Let the demons fight it out with each other.

23 skiddoooooooo

>>11610886

She is struggling to shut her jaw, otherworldly sounds rolling out of her mouth as the hellgate threatened to manifest itself. She struggled in her protector's arms, fighting the pain.

The blurry man quickly swatted the faceless man aside, turning his attention to the fleeing adventurous hiker. "ClllEEEeeeoooOoo... WhYy do yOuuu Runnnn frooOm daaAAAadDY?"

>>11610846
I run out, dragging the girl behind me and close the door, hoping it'l keep the demons battling each other

>>11610932
I throw several pens toward him, and lock the door. I proceed to make my way back upstairs

>>11610945

The pens do nothing to hinder his advance. The skeleton man calls after them. "Use the symbol to stall him! Don't le-" With a loud crack, the skull faced man's head exploded, thousands of bugs rushing to feast on his bones.

You dont even get halfway through the plant room when it feels like you've been struck between the eyes with a jet of water. The whole world seemed to slow down, and the color purple suddenly had a very attractive scent.

rolled 25 = 25

>>11610983
Cry out something incoherent about the bees; try and draw the symbol desperatly on the nearby wall; if we can't do that, keep running. We can't afford to stop.

>>11611026

You manage to scribble the symbol on the wall before you scramble toward the stairs. About halfway up, you trip as the stairs suddenly come alive, trying to gnaw off your leg.

The girl screams as she hits the stone steps, skinning her knee and elbow.

>>11610983
Pen, forehead, fleur de lis, NOW

>start tripping balls
>physically trip
Oh you, OP.

>>11611062
I grab the backpack, quickly take out the rope and, running, start scribbling the symbol on it.

>>11611062
PEN SYMBOL STAIRS NOW
ALSO "JAB"

Wasn't the girl not fond of the symbol?

>>11611137
no, but it keeps the other guy at bay.

As soon as I have covered most of the rope in the symbol, i swing it around the guy in hopes of tying him up. Or at least slowing him down

>>11611102

The fleur de lys bounces harmlessly off the stairs, the weapon not glowing. Behind you the null blurry man is flexing his power, breaking the binding symbol on the wall. "HeheHehEkeKheE..."

>>11611161
I throw the symbol covered laso around the monster and, runing up the stairs, lift the girl onto my shoulder.

>>11611161
>kekeke
OH GOD THE DEMON IS A KOREAN MMO PLAYER
GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE!

>>11610846
I stab him with my 18 inch half-orc dick!

What now, motherfucker?!

>>11611160

The rope seems to come alive, rushing through the air, tying and constricting the blurry man. He cried in rage and fury, swarms of insects crawling from the very walls to aid their master's escape.

The little girl was clawing at the steps, trying to climb them, tugging at your arm. Miraculously the evil stairway let your leg go and you found yourself to be undamaged. But now the hallucinations were beginning to grow worse...

>>11611208
I toss what i have left of the vine leaves among the insects and make my way up the corridor to the foyer.

(sorry the delay in posting. Running back and forth between movies and thread... it's confusing.)

>>11611208
Hallucinations you say? What am I seeing?

>>11611239

The hallway seems slanted, slowing your progress. You turn around several times, catching yourself on the railing. Your weapon hums to life in your hand suddenly as the metal handrail tears away from you, becoming a massive, two-headed snake.

You can smell rather than see the lethal purple-tinted poison dripping from its hollow, needle-like fangs.

"EGO mosss voro vesssstri animusssss!" it hissed, lunging at you

Less dicking around, more GTFO'ing.

>>11611344

caution and stealth must be used just as much as speed and power. Forget this and you may end up with a bad ending.

>>11611302
I hit the snake in the mouth with the Poker and give it the Litany of fury as accompaniment. I follow the strike, attempting to dodge the second head. (do I roll for succes? Do I roll to see if I fall in the pit?)

>>11611302
Slap that snake's shit with our poker while continuing to abscond.

>>11611302
"no you will not, thats my courage, and don't you forget it!"

disable snake by dealing bone shattering blows just behind the heads.

>>11611302
>I will to eat greedily your courage!

Rolled a 16, guessI hit? Okay, hit the snake.. blind the other one with the flashlight, hit it as well.Success OP?

>>11611379

Your want something to happen... You NEED something to happen! Your prayer and zeal seem to strengthen the rod, and, as if cracking open a dam of pure power, a huge bolt of energy firing from the tip, ahnihilating one of the snake's heads.

Unfortunately in your drugged state, this sends you reeling backwards.

Your prayer seems to have strengthened the girl's resolve as well. She runs from your grasp, the agile girl distracting the snake long enough for you to get to your feet.

The snake's eyes are now trained on the girl.

"Sssspurcus cur. Intereo mille nexxxx!" And lunged at her.

(no rolling nessisary. do something clever/awesome/heroic/memeish and i'll give you a degree of distance. the problem is you just have to keep it up)

rolled 2 = 2

>>11611208
Scoop the girl up again, we don't know what's real and what's fake, but THIS GIRL IS REAL, and we've got to protect her.
Write the symbol on the outside of the door at the top of the stairs; then rush through slam the door after us at the top of the stairs and write symbols on the inside.

I reeled back... The snake used to be a hand rail, correct? hm... I attempt to edge toward the snake, making it face the stairway behind, hoping to make it lunge at me and hit the Wall/demon downstairs

>>11611464
Leap for the girl, bringing the Poker around into the snakes lunging mouth as we do, wrestle it back and then kick it in the eye hard.
Run. Find somewhere to hide/escape to.

where is OP? (It seems this thread has not gathered too much enthusiasm, and I am a little busy. I'm sorry. I don't want the story to suffer, so I suppose it might be best to do this some other time? Feel free to continue without me ofcourse)
Good evening Eurochaps, good morning amerifags. I'm going tom leave you know.

>>11611572

The snake howled like a banshee, thrashing about as it was blinded on one side.

Though it only had one eye, its fury was more than enough to make it continue to press its attack. It slithered after the party, the blurry man finally ascending the stairs, grinning like the cheshire cat as he followed them, dragging his hand lightly across the wall, the entire hallway beginning to decay and melt.

You look around franticly. There really aren't many places to hide. You took a moment to think about your options. There was the girl's bedroom, the foyer, the bar, the hook face shadow room, the writing closet and the fireplace room. You needed an alternate escape option... Or a trap.

>>11611656

(i'm here. Just taking the time to carefully think out my replies. :3)

if the fireplace is lit id say charge into there standing defiantly infront of the lit fire place daring the snake to charge me. letting the snake throw itsself at me id utter a silent prayer and dive to the snake as the snake flies headlong into the flames

>>11611687

the fire place has never been lit. It was just cinders, remember?

>>11611725

damn

>>11611731
we gotta think hard

its our last chance, remember?

Its your lucky day /tg/ i have to go afk for about 10 minutes. use this time to figure out what to do.

>>11611747

okay so we got a halfblind angry snake and the blurry man coming for us... umm suggestions?

>>11611794
Writing closet? Close up and maybe a good place to hide? Plus anything coming in we can get on the way in...or the bar; big area...

>>11611881

what about putting the girl in there and luring the demons after us?

The blurry man seems to be more interested in destroying the symbols than actually chasing us. Maybe we should draw one on each door, then hide in the foyer?

I don't think hiding will do us much good. We need to set a trap of some sort.

We should draw a big-ass version of that symbol on the floor somewhere.

>>11611963
Indeed. I start apinting symbols on chairs, tables, walls, anything I can find. Also start throwing random objects at it.

Dammit... if only there was central heating or something. That way we could elude the snakes senses... Any loose floor boards, planks, wood of any sort around OP?

can we climb up and out of the chimney?
marking the way as we go, to slow down her father, if we can run and make it to a church we can hold out for a while.

Alright ppl OP is back. You guys decide what to do?

we should hide in the writing closet

come on /tg/ are you giving up?

Can we ask the girl for her opinion?

>>11612160
no that was where his power was strongest and we got gruesomely attacked the first time, there's also the big temple thing in that room

i say we go for the room we woke up in, we somehow got in there, so there should be a way out that the father doesnt know about,

or we could just go up the chimney.

>>11612278

course but it will cost you time.

>>11612278
yeah the girl knows this house better than us.

>father lusivilo

captcha thinks we should find a reverend.

>>11612287

no that was a source of the faceless man's power. the faceless man had shadow based powers and the blurry guy has bugs.

>>11612298
so set a trap for the father, to give the girl time to think.

so how can we trap him?

maybe we could make a really big unfinished symbol on the floor, then when he gets to the middle of it we could connect a small line, finishing it and trapping him inside for a while.

>>11612343

but what if its the number of symbols and not the size?

>>11612367
well, then it wouldn't work, maybe we make the big symbol and the girl can make lots of little ones

Maybe we could suck him back into the painting? Do we still have it?

FIRE THE MISSILES! ALL OF THEM!

>>11612328
That was the room we got bugged from though, I'm pretty sure.

>>11612459
double you tee eff, mate?

Hey wait. If we kill the fetuses, we stop the cunt's plan, don't we? He needs those fetuses in addition to his daughter's soul, right?

I'm enjoying your debate :3 you really wanna save her

if we write a symbol in blood will it be more powerful than if we did it in pen, due to it being daemonic and blood and all.

>>11612564

maybe. You'll save her with your power. consider all your options and all the angles you can take. remember your goal. Your saving the girl.

>>11612497
Yes...YES!
By god; This might must work!
Let's go with this!
OP; does he need the foetuses to get the demon from what we understand?

>>11612591
all options and angles eh?

lets make a pact with the devil.

no thats our back up plan if it all goes tits up.

the music box seemed to make us focus before, if we still have it maybe it will distract or stall the father, then we can get to making a hell load of
symbols, or setting another trap, or asking teh girl etc

>>11612603

they were sort of sacrificed and pickled...

can we see how he reacts to a crucifix and other 'holy' symbols compared to the unholy ones we've been using so far.

>>11612728
we already know that our fleur de lye , maybe try the trinity, crucifix, the fish etc, just to see what happens

>>11612728

once again you can try its all up to you guys

I suppose you guys really do only deserve the good ending if your not willing to try and save a little girl! come on people! take a risk! do something crazy! impress me!

let's do it.

try the symbols. all of them.

>>11612884

alright! what are you gonna do?

Hell I even drew a picture of your little girl BUT YOU HAVE TO EARN IT!

>>11612929
dem symbols. draw em. set trap. hide among pens.

>>11612971

type it out and i'll tell you what happens

>>11612627
Asking the girl might help.

>>11612929
>>11612971
God damnit! This!
If nothing else, we can always die saving her.
We've come too far now to not save this little girl!

theres only one person left here, isn't there?

hey can we get someone to archive this? I'll pick it up later.

>>11613055
Nope; I think there's about 3-4 of us.

>>11613055
We're just waiting for something to happen now because we've all said our piece.

>>11613074
alright then you've all agreed perfect!

SUNFLOWER LASER. DRAW SUNFLOWERS TO SHOOT LASERS. GET THE 'UFO' ENDING!(!!!!)

Alt. Use symbols. Double kill fetuses.

>>11613041

You rush to the room with the hooks and face. Pulling out an oil crayon and giving the girl another, you began drawing all over the walls and floor, quietly turning the entire room into one huge binding circle. You then move into the writing closet and wait, doing your best not to disturb the shadows.

The commotion outside is loud. Much louder than you ever would have expected. You wait for the blurry man and the snake to enter, the latter coiling and howling madly. Once they are both within the binding circle you poke your arm out and close it, trapping them inside with the lethal shadows, the numerous smaller ones scattered about reinforcing the big one.

You can wait for the shadow to kill them, or you can flee now before the shadow is too aggravated and the snake and demon are trapped in the center of the room.

>>11613141
Leave now. If we can find a few minutes of downtime, we should cut some of the girls hair off to try and make more stitches.

"OH LORD! GRANT ME THE POWER TO RIGHT A SMALL WRONG IN THIS WORLD, GRANT ME THE POWER I NEED TO SLAY THIS VILE EVIL(ITY) AND SAVE THIS CHILD!

AAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!"

And then proceed to stab shit, witch hunter style!

>>11613141
Escape before the shadows get us all; if they want him, they can have him.

Wouldn't fleeing put us right smack in the circle, where the shadows are going to be killing those two? Stay in the closet, for now.

>>11613180

You make a mad dash through the shadows, trying to be as quiet as possible. The blurry man and snake try to lash out at you, but the shadows hold them at bay, their keening wails echoing off the walls of the small room.

You try to stop the girl to take a strand of her hair, but instead she pulls you aside, pointing to her mouth and a broken grandfather clock.

She then turns, running over to the pile of festering, dead maggots, staring at the wall where the door once stood.

>>11613218
Good point. If fleeing would put us in danger, stay in the closet

What is the wall's DC? And toughness?

If low, beat the shit out of the wall. If high, listen to someone else's idea.

>>11613276
What's on the wall?

>>11613292

nothing. Its where the front door melted.

Have we passed any windows that we could break through?

>>11613370
Then we leave through the hole in the wall.

>>11613448
>hole in the wall
? The door turned into maggots, leaving behind a blank wall.

I think.

>>11613460

that is correct.

>>11613480
Charge through the area the door should be.

>>11613500

you run face first into solid wall. You did seem to dent the wall a bit, however.

Damn and blast I wish I could stay. Keep it up OP! And make sure this gets archived as our attempt for the Good+ ending. This is going great.

>>11613539

dont worry i will

>>11613515
OUR GOLD POKER IS THE POKER THAT WILL PIERCE THE MAGGOT WALL!

POKE AND SMASH! POKE AND SMASH!

>>11613515
How hard did it feel? More like a bricked up entrance; or more like a wall we could break down or what?
Because if we can break it down...there might have been a door here once, and that means there was some reason to brick it up.
If not; run for the little girls room, we can scrawl some symbols on the walls and get a few minutes of sanctuary there.

If we could dent it, it's not too solid. Find something heavy to hit it with.

>>11613558

You channel your force of will into the poker, forcing it to power up. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!" you shout at the wall, smashing it in. It explodes in a shower of wooden splinters, revealing a courtyard and a hedge maze.

Before the hedge maze, standing around the courtyard fountain, there are three stone angel statues, their hands covering their eyes as if weeping. They are facing the fountain.

>>11613805
Board the wall back up. find another way

>>11613820

This and then symbol the shit out of it.

>>11613805
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF,

you run you run so far away.

there's no way in hell that we're taking on weeping angels,

unless that's the only choice, and if it is then i would like to know how these angels work

can they go over the tops of the hedges, are they stare at them long enough angels?

if we need to get through then i suggest we move back to back through the maze, keeping our left hand on the wall of the maze and following it around to the exit, unless there is a way we can get up on top of the hedges and run straight to the entrance/finish

>>11613805
Fuck it; we're heroes and this is the only way through!
...they might not come after us...
Hopefully...
Fuck it, let's go for it.

>>11613805
Run through, never stop. We'll drill through the hedge maze.

if we run into one in the maze we can always hit it hard and hope to damage the stone.

>>11613805
>You channel your force of will into the poker, forcing it to power up. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!" you shout at the wall, smashing it in. It explodes in a shower of wooden splinters
Fuck yes.

>>11614039
>>11613980
A loud crack rocks the very foundation of the lodge, a faint hissing sound following. Not daring to take your eyes off the angels, you hear--and... sense? the blurry man exit the shadowy chamber. You can tell he is not amused. "Vestri matris eram a garrio!"

>>11614039
do this,

but we need to keep to the left wall, easiest way out of a maze

maybe hold the girl over our shoulder so she can look behind us.

>>11614290
quick, grab the girl, into the maze

>>11614290
Well.
Looks like we have no option.
ONWARDS anon! TO DEATH OR GLORY!
Maybe they'll kill each other.

>>11614290
>Vestri matris eram a garrio
>I was our mother, I babble

There's only one thing to do.

Run past the angels if we can-- the Blurry man will keep his eyes on them inadvertently until he passes them by, at which point they'll attack him, since he's closer.

ORKY KUNNIN' WINZ DA DAY

>>11614296
>>11614239
>>11614039
You dash for the maze, hefting the girl over your shoulder so she can watch behind you. There is as yet no indication that the angels have moved. Perhaps blurry man is keeping an eye on them?

You keep to the left wall. It's not long before you hear the hedges rustling. Seems someone has started after you...

>>11614444
Glance over our shoulder to try to catch sight of pursuer. If we know who's after us we can take precautions.

>>11614444

*cues up the Benny Hill music*

>>11614444
while running we nee dot tell the girl what they are, but don't reveal where they came from. unless she already knows what they are,

knowing is half the battle etc.

tell her to keep an eye out.

>>11614471
Surely you jest! As soon as we look over our shoulder, we're likely to trip! I say we keep dashing along.

>>11614491
>>11614471
keep running the girl can watch for pursuers,

Hmmm, were there any paint brushes anywhere in the house?

>>11614491
Well, shit, we could slow down for the fifth of a second we need to look.

>>11614519
and then we'd be dead, you know how fast those things are.

>>11614519
>>11614491
>>11614478
>>11614471

You explain the angels to the girl. "...they're fast. Fast like you wouldn't believe. Don't look away. Don't even blink..." etc.

As you finish your explanation, you glance back behind you. You don't see anything chasing you.

You quickly snap your head back to face forward... and find yourself face to face with an angel, its face contorted in rage, fangs in its wide open mouth, with its clawed hands stretched toward you.

But at least you didn't -trip-.

>>11614638
>-trip-
...we're still hallucinating, aren't we? Oh for the love of god, I forgot about that.

>>11614638
Use patented eye-keeper-opener kung-fu technique to keep our eyes locked on the angel.

Or, you know, just catch ourselves with our hands.

Or roll so as to keep our eyes on the angel.

>>11614638
Called it. Knew it was a bad idea to look over the shoulder. Skid to a halt, don't let the damn thing touch me. Edge around it, keeping an eye on it at all times, and then when I'm behind it, turn and run with the girl keeping her eyes on it at all times.

>>11614638
you see i was going to say this would happen, but thought that by consensus we wouldn't look behind us, form now on its us looking forward and the girl looking back, if we break that routine, ten we're dead/transported back in time.

Fucking related.

>>11614720
Could we not use the time transportation to evade the Blurry Man? It's not like it ACTUALLY kills us.

>>11614740

NO YOU FOOL! AN IMAGE OF AN ANGEL BECOMES THE ANGEL!

next time we encounter an angel we need to draw one of the symbols on it, then the father will destroy it to stop it getting in his way, or it may slow him down and enemy face-off occurs.

>>11614758
NOT IF YOU DON'T OPEN THE FILE YOU FUCK OH GOD DON'T OPEN THE FILE.

>>11614766

ITS TOO LATE! D:

>>11614740
yeah, i'm not opening that.

its the middle of the night, I'm alone, playing DF and contributing to this thread, I dont need any more excitement

>>11614740
I will open this file and the angel will not harm me, for I am Many. A thousand thousand unblinking eyes will watch its every move until the stars themselves burn out.

>>11614804
And also I'll just close it during the staticky blinks.

Yo, OP, we gonna get some resolution or what?

>>11614682
You make it past the angel and to the next turn in the maze. The girl has no trouble keeping it in her view, her eyelids having rotted off some time ago. She should be able to keep you safe from any angels behind you. It's your own eyes and the blurry man you have to worry about.

You notice an unusually large number of bugs crawling through the hedge to your right.

There is a round, open area in the hedge maze ahead, with a four way intersection: the path you are on, one straight ahead, one left and one right.

>>11614926
Right. Always right. We must press on. SALVATION IS AT HAND, MY BROTHERS!

rolled 3 = 3

>>11614926
don't worry guys, we can roll for this

1-3
left centre right

rolling 1d3

may our rolls be pure and correct

>>11614961
>>11614956
the dice-gods agree with you

>>11614961
Told ya so.
>>11614956

>>11614926
COLETRAIN BABY!
Straight onwards, get the girl to keep her eyes on the angel until the last moment that we turn the corner, with any luck it'll notice the bugs dude crossing the cort yard after us.

>>11614983
And even if it doesn't notice the bug dude, the bugs can see IT. It can't move thanks to the Blurry Man's swarm!

>>11614956
>>11614961
The dice have spoken. You go right.

You must be near the center of the maze now. ahead, you spot... a door. A wooden door surrounded by brick wall. There is a window next to the door. Inside is shadowy, but not dark. You can make out bookshelves within. No indication as to how large the building is.

Behind you, you hear a swarm of insects buzzing and heavy rustling in the hedges.

>>11615105
Mark ye door with the Symbol, then run inside and close it.

>>11615105
Check if locked.
If it is. Open/break the window and hoist the girl in to unlock it.

I'd say bite the bullet and enter. It seems the only option for now. Shut and lock the door behind us, large symbol dead center on it, several smaller ones surrounding and filling it.

>>11615105
A library? Oh we are in there! There might be some research notes on what demon he's working with/how to beat it/things that hurt demons.
Let's get in there and start reading ASAP

sorry guys I had to brb for a sec but i'm here now

>>11615182

You dash inside, slamming the door behind you and drawing a seal on it. You turn around with a sigh of relief. The library is dimly lit , the shelves and tables and chairs casting long shadows across the floor.

You suddenly feel cold. You could swear that the lights had just flickered a bit... hadn't they?

>>11615384
Shiiiiiiit. Flickering lights. We're stuck between killer rocks and a jillion sets of mandibles. Ideas, gents?

We should work on re stitching her mouth.

>>11615412
Pull yourself together, dammit! We've come this far and we're not dead yet!

I say we head deeper into the library, albeit cautiously.

>>11615384
OH GOD,

if we're running along the introduce Dr Who villains theme then this is the Vashta Nerada,

if it is this OP you couldn't give us a heads up could you?

>>11615450
>>11615384
I've re-read and just noticed the 'long shadows' part....

>>11615450

its a horror quest. I said you'd have to work for that good+ ending.... hehehe

I suggest relying on that rod of yours a wee bit more

>>11615478
But I've already fapped once tod-- Oh, THAT rod.

What does the rod do again?

>>11615430
I temporarily lost my head. Let us hope that our protagonist doesn't happen into the same fate. Well...that presents it's own dangers but...then again, when danger is all around, the best you can hope for is to advance cautiously. I'd say if we have a flashlight, break it out. Keep the Fleur ready.

>>11615384

FFFFFFFF

Keep Sti- er the poker at the ready, keep an eye out for threats, and ask the little girl what she thinks

>>11615412
God damnit! We're not going to die here soldier!
Pull yourself the Fuck together.
Move inside as quick as we can while still being careful; try and look for something to sew her mouth back, or books that might help as >>11615273 said.
It might drive us crazy! But by Damn sometimes we need to make little sacrafices while tripping balls, saving little girls and fighting demons.
Recaptcha: Musical Crematimi
Musical Creamation.
Thats going to make an apperance now, inevitably.

Your mind is hazy as you slowly advance into the library, slight colors dancing at the corners of your vision now that the adrenaline surge from the horrific statues fades.

The lights continue to flicker, the poker humming to life in your hand.

>>11615601
wait a moment, flickering lights, angels behind us, unknown monsters in front,

we need to give the girl a weapon,

if we give her the knife then she at least has a chance of defending herself if we're incapacitated

also, glowing poker = DAEMONS and EVIL

so we need to be very careful

Swing the poker around a bit, but be careful not to whack whats-her-face, as we continue into the library. Also look for any out-of-place books.

>>11615707
>>11615693

You give the girl the knife. She looks down at it and back up at you, returning it.

She stifles a gurgle, a beastly moan eminating from somewhere in the hell portal she holds in her mouth.

The fleur de lys glows brighter and you hear a faint rustling around you.

KILL IT! KILLITKILLITKILLITKILLIT!

*spazing out killershadowsFFFFFFF*

>>11615818
well, i guess she's trying to resist corruption, maybe the knife thing was a bad idea,

get her to look around whilst we stand still, she caa tug on our arm and point if she sees something.

Tell her to belay that gurgling or we'll administer some down home punishment! Also, advance further, swinging the poker to ward off darkness beasties.

>>11615818
search through the books. Have her search too.

>>11615918
You're threatening her at a time like this? Fuck off.

I vote against doing this, obviously.

maybe there's a back door that we can escape out of, use the rod, and move forward into the darkness, try and make it stay non-shiny though, so we can avoid evil things, basically as soon as it goes shiny we find a path that doesn't set it off.

>>11615969
Yeah, I suppose so. I just don't like gurgling. No need to intimidate the loli.

>>11616070
Maybe the shiny scares evil things? Like waving a burning torch in their faces?

>>11616243
Waving a torch doesn't always work. Sometimes they just light a cigarette off of your torch.

>>11616269
Man, if it's a choice between us having a match and us having nothing at all, I'll take a match. We can burn their fingertips!

But really, I think they'll know if we've entered their domain regardless of the light source, so keeping it glowy will benefit us, since we'll still be able to see.

>>11616070
You see no immediate way out, save the way you came in. There is a doorway leading forward, and one to your right. Both are open.

The poker seems to glow brighter approaching the forward door than the one to your right. There's no telling if that might change further in, though, nor which way will get you out faster.

>>11615935
Its shiney due to Demonic research in this room.
Let's find us some books in here!
Be careful though.

>>11616329
Time is wasting. Go right. Take the path of least resistance.

>>11616423
Cowardice! But Right has helped us before so... I concur. Right door, ho!

>>11616423
if we take a longer path that doesn't involve a long combat it will be faster than a shorter path that contains a huge combat scene

also, keep an eye out for sound and movement.

brb for a few minutes guys. then we shall resume. everyone take 10.

>>11616481
and now i give my dorfs some attention for a couple of minutes.

>>11616619
WATCH OUT FOR THE...

...Goblins.

Ah, shit. Poor Urist McSurfaceDweller.

>>11616469
>>11616423
>>11616465

The room to the right is shadowier. There are more bookshelves, and precisely 69,105 dead leaves are strewn about the floor, each casting a tiny shadow.

The room is long and thin; not enough so to be a hallway, but close.

There is a door leading to what is now your left (previously forward) halfway down the length of the room between a pair of bookshelves, and another at the far end. The bookshelves cast a shadow across the left-facing door.

The poker glows less and less as you progress into the room.

we'll pick this up later then I guess you guys. are done for now. Thats fine. I'm exhausted.

WAIT!

>>11619942

I'm still around dont worry its all archived.

>>11619962
No kidding? Feel like continuing in this thread? I had to leave midway into the 2nd thread (you must have been up for... how many hours now? Jeez.) but I'm good to go now.

>>11620006

actually yeah I need sleep ^^; but if your caught up then we can continue methinks.

>>11620006
>>11617413
so. what do now?

>>11620006

/tg/ what do you want to do?

>>11620217
>>11620148
>>11620080
I feel like the worst sort of lamer for mentioning my interest right before my computer died. I'm back in business now though.

Go through the left-facing door with the shadow across it. Shadows are our friends.

>>11620643

before you go any further you may want to understand what your doing ^^;

watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xARHrouEEMc

>>11620750
Okay then, screw that plan. Get out of that room quick, go back, and take the forward facing door in the previous room. Follow the light of the poker. Be quick about it since we know we're being pursued.

>>11620822
the poker glows ever brighter as you continue forward. You hear the buzzing of an insect swarm growing louder as well.

This room is a long hallway, lined with doors on either side. It is more brightly lit than the other way, but there are still a lot of shadows and the there are a couple lights that flicker once in a while.

>>11620941
How many shadows do we have?
How many does the girl have?

>>11621002

You have one shadow per lightsource and she has one shadow per lightsource.

The rod hums more loudly, the fleur de lys on the tip igniting in a blaze of fire.

>>11621034
Time to pick up the pace.

>>11621034
Heck yes. Proceed onward, quickly.

>>11621080

You come to a room that is ablaze with light. The blurryman is standing in the center of the room, his entire body blazing. Your stake flares up in response, the shadows in the room darkening to near black.

Behind him is a large set of double doors.

You feel the room grow steadily colder.

>>11621110
So they're here.

Throw our poker with all our might at the blurry man as we charge him. Then continue our charge past him, to the doors. Slip inside and shut it firmly behind us.

Poker, you have served us well, and now your final mission awaits you.

>>11621142
This. Then when we're gone, our blurry foe will get eaten by the shadows.

>>11621142
The blurryman raises his arms defensively, his bugs swarming around him as the poker streaks toward him, attempting to shield himself.

It works a little better than you might have hoped. The poker unleashes a bright explosion of light as it makes contact, but in the aftermath, he remains. Seemingly blinded and with slowly regenerating stumps for arms, but he is still standing there.

The little girl tugs sharply on your arm as you begin rushing past him. She is insistent. Desperate.

>>11621310
Scoop her up and carry her as we go to the doors. "Point what you need us to do and quick, otherwise we're headed through that door before everything in this room gets eaten!"

>>11621352

She squirms in your arms, leaning forward and pointing franticly and a rather large shadow slowly slinking across the floor in front of the door.

The blurry man's form continued to flicker in and out of existence, though he began to regain focus, his body sharpening.

The poker had rolled away from him, blazing brightly, half obscured under a table.

>>11621388
Shout a word not suitable for younger ears, then dive for the poker again.

>>11621388
Aw shit. Okay, to beat a swarm... to beat a swarm...

I don't think we can go back. I only see two options here.

1) Grab the blurry man, throw him into the shadow before he recovers and let him be eaten; either go through the doors during then or retreat back the way we came.

2) Have the girl keep running for the door, while we grab the poker and the table. Flip and fling the table across the floor towards the door, and SURF IT until we ram into the door, swinging the poker at the shadows as we go. The girl, obviously, jumps aboard. Then we scoot inside and shut the door behind.

I'm up for other options but that's all I'm seeing now. Anyone else want to weigh in?

>>11621434
2 seems retarded. Number 1.

>>11621388
I dash after the poker, pick it up and take a swing at the BMan's legs, in hopes of taking them from under him, then I swing the poker down hard into his chest with al my weight behind it.

Back, BTW

>>11621499
Whoa there, sparky. The shadows are a bit more important, if you watched the video. "Like invisible piranhas" it said. They're ready to pounce, unlike our blurry buddy.

>>11621513
okay, I stick with my original plan, and toss the remnants of the blury man at the shadows, I atempt to lift the table and throw it at the door.

>>11621418
>>11621434
>>11621459
>>11621499
>>11621513

Ah, I love it when you discuss amongst yourselves...

I had a reply written out to >>11621418 but it seems like a few people just got back. I'll give you a bit to come to a decision.

>>11621541
Hello OP. I am going to go through with my above refered plan. Or pick one of the earlier mentioned one's. Just... advance the story

>>11621538
You shove the blurryman as hard as you can, and manage to knock him into the shadow in front of the door.

It's hard to make out what's going on through the blackness of the vashta nerada combined with his own dark, blurred appearance, but you hear otherworldly screams. The buzzing of insects grows louder, but slowly dies down again before once again increasing in volume, pulsing along with his flailing in the shadows.

The table is too large and heavy for you to lift well enough to throw it. The poker glows from beneath it.

>>11621640

The blurry man doesn't seem to be hurt, as he doesn't truly have a physical form, but he is unable to escape from the swarming creatures.

The stake flared and burned excitedly, pulsing fiercely as his otherworldly screams echoed through the room.

>>11621640
Is the door clear? Or are the shadows/insects to close to it? I look at the girl questioningly. " through the door? Back?"

>>11621670
I take the poker, and gently pushing the girl I back away into the Foyer, keeping an eye on the bottles and the maggoty dooe

>>11621717
>>11621674
The poker blazes brightly as you begin to retreat, a white flame burning at the tip.

You bump into the little girl, who has stopped moving back. She points at the floor in front of the doorway.

The door behind you is blocked by shadows. Those shadows weren't there when you came in...

In front of the door forward, the blurryman's hand emerges from the shadow, beginning to drag himself forward as his bugs crawl into the holes eaten by the vashta nerada, filling them in cleanly as he consumes them to heal himself.

He and the shadow he is crawling out of are all that lie between you and the exit.

>>11621820
Any other exits? I attempt to strike the hand off at the wrist, then topple the table on top off him, pick up the girl, and try to leap through the door.

>>11621869
There are no other exits.

The stab from the poker discharges a huge bolt of power, completely obliterating the appendage and tearing a chilling wail from his lips. Slowly, the bugs swarm the wound, attempting to reconstruct him with only slow sucess.

The table is swallowed up by the shadows. You now have half a table.

>>11621956
Do the doors open away from us, or towards us?

>>11621956
I take one of the table legs and stow it in my backpack... No other exits? hm... I try to circle around the creature and exit through the door, using the table leg to measure where I can pass through the shadows. I pu the poker in my belt and drag the girl behind me.

>>11622013

You are unable to get around him. he is right in front of the door.

he crawls more out of the shadows now, chuckling a little, wrestling to get his other arm free, staring at the girl.

The shadows around you creep closer and closer, the air turning to ice against your skin.

>>11622064
Please answer:
>>11621978
And please answer if we have flammable materials in our bag.

Use the poker to begin bashing and chopping the shit out of the blurry man. Keep at it.

Supported, hit the Bman a few more times, pin his other hand to the floor with the knife.

I star making thread out of the girls hair. "Should I try seal up your mouth?"

>>11622113
REALLY??? We're in the middle of a fight with Bman and the darkness and you want to take a time out to re-sew???

>>11622088

You thrust the stake into his body and it stays. He lets out a soul wrenching shreak as his entire body immolates, the flames pushing the darkness back, the shadows in the immedeate area burning.

The energy continued to build until the blurry man exploded, the shock knocking both you and the girl off your feet. It also pushed all the shadow's back some, but they were still there, closing in.

The exit is clear now, the sky starting to lighten as dawn approached.

The stake clatters to the ground on the scorch mark that used to be the blury man, the fleur de lys glittering in satisfaction.

>>11622134
Why yes. What else am I going to do? No exits, I beat the Bman up somewhat, enough to slow him down a bit. What can I do? All swalowing darkness behind me, monster in front of me. What do? sewing, bitches.

>>11622140
Rush through the exit.

Player 1, seriously, think before you post, please? Most all of your suggestions have made me want to facepalm.

>>11622140
I puke, and start looking for edible greens, plants, anything. I keep check of the girl while I do this. I then recover the fleur-de-lys and attempt to talk to the girl "what... wha happened?"

>>11622140

Do we still have our flashlight? If we do, point it at the exit, grab the poker, and get the hell out of Dodge.

>>11622241
NO. SHUT UP.

>>11622241
Sorry? What? and why? I seem to recall we had flesh eating worms in our system, I want to check up on how my innards are doing if you don't mind. Instead of telling me to shut up, how about you contribute?

>>11622343

That's true, but we ate an antidote earlier, and we have a shadow in the room that wants to eat us. Priorities, man!

>>11622234
Since I'm known for being an asshole, I'm glad someone else said it. I've been cringing at his responses ever since the front door of the house turned to maggots.

>>11622241
No. We need to hurry.

We leave, grab the poker and the fleur de lis and getht he fuck out.

>>11622349
We're already outside. Unless I am sudenly going to be way laid by a werewolf, I wanna make sure.

Okay, since my surviving idea seems unpopular, I try to talk to the girl "are we safe here? Do we have to go back inside?" I have to figure out how to seal her mouth back up... say... I am soo lost... So, the evil demon trying to get an army of demons into the world in destroyed/incapacitated, but the other one is still around...

OP, is the poker still intact?

>>11622363
Well I do appear to be the only one still posting here... so why don't you suggest something, I'm kind of out of Ideas.

>>11622400
we have already decided to RUN AWAY. There is enough posts to continue the quest, we are just waiting on OP, as it has been like 15-20 minutes now.

>>11622400
We're just waiting on OP, who apparently is on her 4th consecutive day awake.

>>11622418
I know that. Just... doing the same as you guys I guess.

OP lost interest/hope?

>>11622516
OP fell asleep, methinks. Is the thread still bumping?

>>11622516
well I am bumping.

>>11622552
No...

I mean are we on autosage? If so, OP might be waiting to see the thread pop up again. I just use noko and don't ever know when autosage hits.

I keep hearing Beyonce's "Sweet Dream" playing as this thread goes on... Or... Rhianna's Disturbia.

And then it's drowned out by The Word Alive's Battle Royale.
----------------------------------
So I assumed we grabbed our lance of holy wrath and the girl to escape through the now open doorway? If not, I suggest you all do so.

yeah, OP fel asleep. The other ones were better, all the same nice concept, bye guys

No! We can't let it die!

the...

the little girl...

>>11623078
THE THREAD WILL DIE JUST LIKE LITTLE CLEO

>>11623153
;_;

>>11623153
Just Like santa. Yes Bitches SANTA IS DEAD TO AND IT'S ALL OP'S FAULT!

>>11623177
And the demon fetus laughed.

D:

>>11623172
That looks a lot like one of them Jin En Mok from the Lucifer comic series by Gaiman.

OP... come back...

Maybe if we clap our hands and believe, OP will come back.

Captcha says Broody Galant. If only.

I'm so sorry /tg/ i had been up for 72 hours before and i just passed out

>>11626180

We never gave up hope, brOP. Glad you're back.

>>11626276

Its good to be back. You are right. You deserve the good+ ending

In the future i'm going to run these a bit shorter so i don't die from sleep deprivation during the process >.>

You got... THE GOOD+ ENDING!!!!

You deserve it /tg/ Anyone willing to fight Weeping Angels and is not the doctor/emprah deserves a fucking medal.

You grab Cleo and rush to the exit, reaching down and snatching up the Witch Stake as you burst from the building. You and the girl continue to sprint for a time as dawn breaks, the sun rising up over the forsaken landscape.

You are almost upon the trail you had been hiking before when the girl pulls, slowing you to a stop. She is coughing hard, doubled over her hands on her knees. There is black smoke pouring from her mouth and yet the cries of the damned fade with each passing moment, the thread dissolving.

She looks up at you, the flesh of her face slowly creeping back over her exposed bone.

"Th... Thank... you..." She paused for a moment before leaping toward you, squeezing you tight and crying.

She told you how she never thought she'd ever get out of the painting. How she had to watch her friends grow and vanish. how she had lost hope for the hundred years she had been locked up, and how she never thought she would see the sun again

You return her embrace and when it finally ended, you gently took her little hand in your own and walk and to finish your hike.

You promised you would protect her and you kept it, taking care of her and teaching her about the world as she grew. Sometimes though you'd feel a pair of eyes at your back... but you never feared them. You promised you would protect Cleo. You and your trusty poker, Jab.

Also, the back button failed meh and the picture of cleo and this post also ended up in a new thread so I'll link that.
