Game Two

[Scardy]

Scardy stares at the girl steadily. The runes are somehow familiar, but she can't seem to place where she'd seen them.

[Tweek]

"It's the witches cypher..." says TWEEK with a scowl. "You have been marked."

He brings his rifle into view so everyone can see it. Though he does not point it at the girl, he makes it clear that he is ready and willing to use it.

"This is an ill sign. She's a witch, or has been sent by one. Mark my words."

[vampyr_Jakayle]

*looks up at tweek as she cringes at the sight of the riffle* You... don't understand.... I am not evil... *she takes a deep breath* But I saw it. In amongst the unholy dolls of evil... I know the girl.... *She shakes her head as her hair blows through the wind* NO NO NO! *she sobs before getting up and running into the darkness of the wood a book drops out of her satchel with the words- MY encounter handwritten on them, the group can still hear her voice echoing in the wind, a number of depressing sobs before an eerie scream*

[Tweek]

"Now what was THAT about?" asks a puzzled TWEEK. He strides over and picks up the dropped book. He returns to the group and holds it out in front of him.

"Any of you educated gentlemen or ladies want a look at this? I don't read. Never had much use for it out here."

He lets the book fall to the ground and walks away, not bothering to see if anyone picks it up.

[Scardy]

Scardy picked it up and started to read aloud from it... "She ripped the boy's head fromhis writhing body... the streets were littered with the bloody bodies of her victims, creating an unholy mulch.... Oh my, here's those runes! hmmm.... correlation to the Jupitor, bringer of chaos... Lovely, a little chaos... just what we need about now." Scardy said, sarcastically.
"Well as far as I can figure from this... OH MY! smut, that symbol is part of a ritual to summon the god of chaos and bad winds."

[vampyr_Jakayle]

*The girl returns* I need that... *she takes the book, her hands bloody as newly fresh cuts had appeared upon her hands* There is still time for the girl... *She sits on the groung rocking back and forth, sobbing as tears streaked down her face* She... she... *a look of fear appears on her face as she appears to be looking at something behind the group, she screams and cringes*

[Scardy]

The wind suddenly blows with a harsh gale, Scardy's bonnet is blown off herhead, and though she makes a grab for it the bonnet flies out of reach, into the haunted woods. Without anything to hold it back, her long, curly hair flies about her face.
She turns to face the wind, wincing as it stings her eyes. andmaybe it was just the crackle ofdead leaves thrown about fromtheirresting placesby thewind, but she could of sworn she heard something of a cackle, but the thought was gone as fast as her bonnet

[Tweek]

"George, what were you saying about another search party? I thought we were the only fools out here tonight. Maybe they've found her already. Maybe we should head back to town."

TWEEK casts a harsh stare at the book and the person holding it.

"Better burn that vile book. Carry that thing back to Blair with you and there'll be hell to pay. Remember what they did to old Elly..."

[Erik de Maricourt]

"Tweek's right. People with books like that aren't exactly welcomed with open arms. I know they weren't back home in Dunwich."

Nightfall turns to look at Tweek.

"But George said the other party was missing..."

[Tweek]

Following Jakayle's fearful stare, TWEEK turns on his heels and peers into the blackness of the woods behind them. There is movement out there. The snapping of dry twigs. The rustle of disturbed leaves.

"Who's out there? Weaver? Is that you, child? Come out!"

TWEEK does not raise his rifle. Only his voice.

"HELLO! COME OUT HERE! RIGHT NOW!"

He is answered by silence. Then a faint sound that might have been human or possibly animal. A sound that causes TWEEK's face to turn pale and the hand holding his torch to tremble.

[Jerry]

Jerry stares into the gloom of mist and fog that is pulsating at the edge of their camp.

"Look, I say we wait until morning. What if we get lost out there in the dark? I say we camp, eat, and sleep 'til dawn. Each one of us can keep a watch for a time."

He looks around at the others.

"There's alot of fog to get lost in out there."

[Scardy]

Scardy sighs. She hadn't planned on getting stuck out here. Better then being stuck with her fat fiance. Even getting killed by the evil of the woods would be better then washing his sweaty breeches.

[Jerry]

"What's your problem Scardy? The ole Hubby tuggin' at you?"

He gives a wise grin.

"You should have aimed higher. If a woman is fat, I don't even pause my eyes to look at her."

There is a low growl in the woods.

"I'm glad I brought this."

He pulls out a revolver and points it in the direction of the noise.

"Well, I'm camping here. Scardy, get your tail home and grab some stew stuff. I'm hungry and deviled ham sandwiches just ain't cuttin' it. Besides, your cooking will get that little twirp's attention. She'll start to float through the woods towards us. Her eyes closed as her nose smells the wafts. Her legs kicking ever so slightly."

He plops down on a turned over tree.

"Somebody get some logs for a fire."

He looks over at Scardy.

"I'm waiting and tell your husband he's a real chump as you walk back out the door."

[vampyr_Jakayle]

SHE'S BEHIND YOU!!! *she dives through the crowd and opens the book and reads a page out loud* aiga hailem ratcin cip, Onga misou gaiyung trae.... *a shreik is heard and the book is cast in the fire in a blast of blue flame* There, she won't harm us anymore. Thats one horror gone...

[Tweek]

"Camping? I'm not staying out here all night! Let's find the lost rugrat and get outta here. Time's wasting."

TWEEK turns away in frustration. He kicks at the leaves near his feet, scattering the small pile of rocks that was hidden under them.

"And who knows what devilry you just summoned by reading from that book. We'll be lucky if they find us after this night..."

[Jerry]

"What? I can't believe you just thought you solved this by spouting out some smack from that book. That was some fireworks and thats about it."

He grabs the bottle off the ground and takes a big swig.
"Scardy??? Time is awasting . . . You should be halfway back by now."

"Tweekster, going for a strole through the woods at night is not a good idea. Besides, I'm getting settled. I'm the leader of this search and what I say goes. GOT IT?"

To himself: "Damn these people for their stupidity."

He smiles as he watches his verbal abuse smack across their faces.

"What's up with the pile of rocks anyway? Some hunter bury his dog out here?"

[Scardy]

"A pile of rocks?" Scardy wasn't sure running home alone. she didn't even try to protest that he wasn't her hubby yet and it was an arranged marriage.

[Jerry]

"Scardy, get the bum cakes in motion. I'm hungry. We'll worry about the rocks tomorrow. We just had some goofy girl read some page out of a witch's bible at random, so this could be our last meal. I want to die satisfied."

He looks over at Jakayle.

"You've got some serious issues sister!!!"

[vampyr_Jakayle]

*mumbles to herself* Oh FINE! that's just great! I just saved their life from the demon soul of wind and chaos and they accuse me of sending them to the slaughter.
*sob* no one appreciates me... *gets out her fishing knife and goes into the tent* *The group hears a number of shreiks gasps and sobs before they realise the self mutalation going on inside*

[Tweek]

TWEEK starts to suggest that they bury Jerry under a pile of rocks, but thinks better of it. Must be the whiskey talking. I'll let that one pass, he thinks to himself. But not the next one.

"I'll take first watch. Somebody go check on our witch. I hear noises coming from the tent. Make sure she's not summoning demons or some other mischief..."

[Jerry]

"Good idea . . . Sounds like a cross between an orgasm and a cat getting its tail slammed in the door going on in there. I told you that freak had some issues."

He looks over at the tent and shakes his head.

"Saved us from some demon my a*s!!! She didn't know what the hell she was doing. Now she's doing God only knows what."

"Tweek, why don't you find out what she's doing . . ."

[Tweek]

TWEEK looks up with an amused expression on his face, as if he's just thought of something really funny.

"Hey Jerry..." he remarks. "Isn't that YOUR tent she went into? Now what could she be doing in there...?"

[Jerry]

Jerry looks over at his tent with an evil twisted expression. "Lets lock that psycho in there and set the tent on fire."

"Man, she's probably masterbating with that knife in there . . . Sick b*tch."

He looks to Tweek. "Get her out of there before she ends up cutting herself and bleeding all over my stuff."

He takes another swig.

[Scardy]

Scardy recognizes the desperation. Again, something is lurking in the backof her mind that she'd forgotten something. She runs into the tent and grabs away the knife.
"No don't! They just don't understand.It's gonna be okay. you and I are gonna go back to town I'll make you a nice hot supper, and it will all be ok."

[vampyr_Jakayle]

*she rocks back and forth, her wrists slit and bleeding all over the tent, blood squirting out of her arteries, she puts her head up and forces a smile* don't you get it? no... no you don't... *she screams* I SAW THE GIRL! I SAW THE WITCH! I SAW EVERYTHING! I SAVED YOU! I SAVED YOU BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU WOULD SEE, THE WAY OUT! I THOUGHT YOU WOULD SEE THE WAY OUT! I AM THE WAY OUT! But now none of you will leave, I live near these woods and I know the way out... but scardy... because of the rest of the group, I know we will never leave.... *she puts her head in her hands and rocks back and forth crying*
