The Mansion [Concluded]

The book, from how I interpreted it, seemed to want us to kill a "rogue". Who out of us could be considered a rogue? White_eyes. I don't think we should do anything until we find more clues, but we should be wary of him now.

As for the expeditions:

You will need a balanced group of fighters for the Storeroom group, CDF. Take me with you, I've got this Staple Gun and can fight at range. Also, there is a chance that because of the nature of my weapon, I may be able to kill Hostiles before they are able to transform.

And the Bedroom in question is Bedroom B, not A. We haven't explored A yet. Also, I have a feeling about the toilet in the Bathroom, due to how it was mentioned in the first write-up. The Bedroom group may want to check that out.

I'd rather be told what to do, saves me having to decide :clown:

it may not be bad idea to divide the whole group into 3 and ensure that one group is always sleeping.
the remaining 2 groups can be further divided for explorations. that way we wont have the same situation as the last action phase. I get the feeling that going forward we may not be fortunate enough not to be attacked while we are sleeping.

Well I want to start up an arts and crafts in the kitchen to make some armour and it might be a good idea to examine the corpse atheotes left outside to see if the wearghoul things have any weakspots. We might be able to take them down more easily if we know where to stab to pierce an internal organ.

Greyblades if you are going to do that I am going to have to ask for you to give the Bowie knife to someone going to the storage room this round. You can tag along with the kitchen group and see if they will help you. You can have it back when we return, but I would feel a lot better about our group if we had the combat suitable weapons.


As I am getting no volunteers I will assign groups in a hour or so.

Could I swap your hammer for it?

thats what I was going to suggest actually :yes:

I agree with the idea of sleeping in shifts, this is a wise policy.

Great, I'll see if I can make something. Can I request that the guys going to the bedrooms to get me some socks, tights etc that I can use as straps?

It is a good idea. :yes: We are going to have to use that.

Maybe I should try and do something with the pesticides seeing as I'm a chemical engineer? Might be able to make some sort of weapon out of them.

That sounds like a plan. :yes: although Atheotes is a pesticide something. You two should collaborate on that.

From the writeup day 1. :sweatdrop: Sorry. still need that food grabbed, and john needs some asap.


The Bedroom group (bedroom B that is):
1. Centurion1, Power drill the monsters away!, Group leader
2. Askthepizzaguy, maybe you can use your "talents" to distract the monsters?
3. Double A, You hoe you! :laugh4:,
4. I would add a 4th person but that would mean lowering the amount of people in group 1 (sleep cycle)





anyone have any issues with this? Step forward now. and tell me if you have no intention of doing your task. I need to know.

Oh fine I just had another idea, we could grab all our stuff, go into the garden and burn down the house with the ghouls inside. We'd kill allmost all the ghouls and when the flames die down we can either climb over the rubble or, if the walls are still standing, break down the weakened front door.

somehow I think that would end with us all burning to death painfully and slowly. Or all of the ghouls popping out of the house and eating us. :sweatdrop: I don't think zain would let us pull something like that, especially when the ghouls would obviously jump out into the garden, and we would have to fight them all at once. (hint, I think that is a bad Idea.)

Well what would you prefer a full out battle where we are all in one place making a stand with all our strength or be picked off one by one?
I dont think that we would be burned to death as the garden is probably large enough for us to keep a safe distance, the fences won't be flamable as I think Zain would have thought of us trying to destroy them and as such prepared and the house wont drop on us as the house only has 2 floors over ground level.

I see that I have been assigned to the storage room, thats fine by me. Does anyone have a clue as to what the writing in the book means?

@CDF there's no space in my name

We have no idea how many ghouls there are. Could be to many to take. To many unknowns. But lets say for a minute all the ghouls burn to death. I still think lighting a fire to burn the whole house would be too out of control. What if the garden catches fire? We are all boned. To big of a risk, Playing with fire is not the answer. I mean "PROBABLY?" I do not like the sounds of that. You are right, Zain probably would have though of this, and I can not see that ending good for us.



Also, some more info:

before the groups head out we are going to try and open that lock box, use all the keys we can. Atheotes and Elite ferret will mull over what we can use the pesticide for.


Edit: sorry twilight, mistake. :sweatdrop:

The garden is large enough to contain a swimming pool. Eh fine I was only putting it forward because I was bored. I wonder if we will find any deoderant in the bathroom, we could use it as a rorschach style flamethrower.

I think that its entirely possible that the ghouls are scared of overwhelming numbers.

They weren't there when we were around, but when we split up, they attacked you :juggle2:

I suppose then, me and GB will cover them while they rush forwards like little hobbits battling the cave troll and stab it with their pointy butter knives :clown:

No one wants ceramic plates eh?

---

Clarification, is that TWO machetes? Because its [Shovel, Hoe, Machete, Lawn Mower Blades (x2)]

Other than that, this is the list of unclaimed stuff, I grabbed 5 ceramic plates and 2 butter knives, CDF, along with my gear.

Um before we leave to go off in our seperate groups could we try our keys on the front door and that locked box?

I'll take the old diary and the mysterious book.

Hey that reminds me, have you found any write-up clues Pizza?

Yes.... my affections toward scottishranger seem awfully suspect. I am thinking that one of us is guilty.

vote: Askthepizzaguy

Let's go with the obvious one first.

Is Sasaki even playing this game?

Not that I'm aware of.

Hmmm then that leaves out voting for the obvious. How about who you least suspect?

vote: Double A

Not that I care much but, could you two stop spamming the thread, we dont want to make Ibn's job harder than it allready is.

Edit: Did I say Ibn? I meant Zain, I'm tired.

i know i aint playing (althought i'd love to) and i dunno if i can comment, but i think the ghoul's weak point is their heads. seems like attack anywhere does little damage, but a head swipe kills them straight off (plus you get a key).

but im sure most of you know that already :bow:

Well seeing as anything larger than a tennis ball dies when its head is cut off thats a given.

alright ill be sending my preliminary orders to my group members soon.


im an athlete so i assume im big and strong hoefully i can cause some damage i guess my role is like a fighter while some of you engineers are like "mages"

Since I'm not leading my group, I'd really like a PM telling me what I'll actually be doing.

You will be in the bedroom with me.

*curls finger suggestively*

Also Centurion1 will be there doing something with a drill... probably drilling something. But it's best not to make light of our situation with jokes about drills. That might be spammy.

Serious mode: We shall clear the room of ghouls, as if I need to state it.

Ok since there was a confirmed ghoul, and there's only three of us, I really would feel safer if we had... oh I dunno... Mace Windu?

I can bend spoons without using my hands. Does that count?

i am a Pesticide Applicator... i have no idea what i can do... there was nothing specified. maybe we are allowed to be creative :wink:

CDF, i am okay with going to the storage again.

Maybe you can kill the weeds in the garden, clearing the path to a chest! Is it the bow? The boomerang? Only time will tell!

Those coat hangers that we have can probably be cut and bent into some rudimentary brass knuckles or something. I'd say that would probably be at least as useful as a butter knife.

If we can't find anything to do with with the pesticide spray, we can always use it as a makeshift flamethrower (like the deoderant idea) if we get any matches or lighters. We may find some sort of giant bug, though, in which case using the stuff would be painfully obvious.

Could I borrow that hammer please for this round? I could take some boards from the lobby and make some nail boards allowing us to have more weapons.

Yay a spade! I'm happy with that plan.

atheotes: Maybe we could make some kind of poison trap with one unit of food left out but coated in pesticides? Of course it's possible that those things don't eat but it might be worth a go, can't think of anything else to use them for.

Waste of a perfectly good unit of food, we don't know the depth of our supplies, if it were suddenly on the verge of running out...? :juggle2::juggle2:

I don't see any other viable source of food at the moment.:no:

Perhaps we should wait and see, think of the pesticides as like the diary. The clues are useless now, but when we get more, it will all make sense. No sense squandering a potentially useful future resource that could be used to solve a major hurdle in the near future :juggle2:

Also, Just so the people in group one know. You are not getting any sanctioned sleep for two rounds after this. That means if you do not get sleep this round you are boned. I realize many of you have 2 energy, but bare with me. :yes:


Captain blackadder you will have to talk about it with greyblades. But I think that he would be willing to hand it over and help you as soon as he gets back from the kitchen.



Group leaders it is entirely your job to get the tactics together for your groups. I will send in skeleton orders in case one of you go inactive, but skeleton orders= dead people, so please organize your groups.


Everyone stay active. I need all the help I can get.

Who is guarding the sleepers? Perhapes they can do that. If not it can be done next round I suppose. I just think it would be good since nail boards are a lot better weapons then butter knifes.

I tried to divide the groups with at least a few decent weapons in each group. :sweatdrop:


The people who are sleeping this round will have to get a watch going. IE. 1 guy stays awake for a hour, then next hour someone else is woken up. Be much easier than having to station actual guards. BTW, fall asleep on watch and I am throwing you out of the foyer. :whip: I am being serious. we need someone to man the doors, and if you fall asleep then you are going to be exiled.

You can get greyblades to help you with the hammer, just make sure to get some sleep. Its a good idea. :yes: The kitchen group should not be out for long anyway.

Actually I'm not going to take the hammer, I'm going on guard duty this turn for the kitchen group so I will have more use for the bowie knife.

Foyer - A rather large room with three exits, the front door leading out of the Mansion, which cannot be opened, and two doors leading out on either side. There are leather chairs and a couch, at most comfortably seating 8 people. There are also pictures of random landscape and knights up on the tall walls, as well as a few desks on either side with vases of fake flowers next to the doorways. The doors are large and wooden, locked with the key inside the lock, and bared from the inside. There are three cabinets directly ahead of the front door, behind the couch, seemingly made of iron and are locked. The flooring is tile, light brown in color. The smell is obvious of old leather and years of pipe tobacco use...

:wall: OK, That is out of the way then, I will help you after I get back captain blackadder.


and yes, we are going to sue the keys we have on the lockbox and drawers. :shrug:

I have a suggestion; I've noticed that the hostiles, as the host calls them, only attack us when we provoke them, be it hostility or by showing Pure fear, I suggest that you put in your orders if you encounter a hostile you will stay calm and attempt to walk away instead of engaging right off the bat. You may be able to get away with barely a scratch.

Personally I'm going to be thinking about last night's memorable events. Fear will be the last thing on my mind.

Maybe there are advantages to being who I am. :beam:

Pure Fear? I forgot who was it that sneezed, and tried to stifle it, and failed, provoking it.

Plus, the first slain hostile was killed with less, singular hostiles should be similarly dealt with, our groups contain more armed people than before, and with better arms too. Our only main concern in multiple hostiles. Additionally, killing the hostiles seems to be like "key collecting" now, which should serve us better now, before the mansion possibly gets "revved up" by the host to hasten our deaths.

Last thing we want is crucial supplies/needs being out of stock and in the end, turning on each other because we ran out of them, and the only way is to be the last man standing, with the last resources.

I have no idea what we are going to do if the kitchen runs out of food, personally :juggle2::juggle2:

Any update from whiteeyes, he said he would tell us if he found anything. I presume he hasn't found anything noteworthy? Or is said thing too important a discovery to let us know :clown:

I seem to recall someone talking about a "shadowy figure" who was raiding the kitchen, I think that might be whiteeyes, but who knows. :juggle2::juggle2:

I think so as well, he needed supplies and food so he raided the kitchen :yes:

I am in desperate need of food, anyone willing to help me out?

Kitchen expedition will bring you some back. :yes:

So how long have we been in this mansion? We've all eaten...

Assuming we get water we shouldn't be dead in three days. Are we diabetic?

:clown:

Can we eat other people? How about the ghouls?

wait we have all eaten correct?????

Fire is hot, they are not. Let's make it so.

I have not eaten, not once :o

Eating's automatic.

I haven't had any food in my posession either, only a shovel.

So it seems that you dont die after just 6 hours of no food in this game. Bit wierd with the whole collapsing with exhastion being fatal thing.

guess because if you collapse of exhaustion something could grab you.......

Maybe, but we have yet to see those things interact with a dead body so, then again maybe not

then again..... he is the hoat and therefore God, so.....

(yeah i just pulled out the ultimatum card).

i think its just a simple way to make sure that inactive players cant skate to victory off our shoulders.

I would like to apologize, the phase was supposed to end 12 hours ago, but as I have said, my weekends are always very unpredictable. :bow:

I will begin the write-up now. No PMs will be accepted.

Also, eating food is automatic, every turn 1 unit of food is used up. You die if you hit 0. Same with energy, for inactives.

The write-up will explain how someone passes out due to exhaustion and something fatal happens to them, but it's all the same to me.

Write-up 4

Before leaving Martin (CDF) put in the key they had obtained from the Hostile into one of the three iron cabinets. The key turned well but did not open the door and did not come out of the lock. Also the other mysterious key did not fit to open the lock box. After much frustration, the group gave up on the locks, they had missions to accomplish…

Six people watched as three groups of twelve total people left the Foyer.

Nicole (Beskar) chose to keep watch first as the other five slept. She analyzed them, Ronald (Split) and Jeffrey (AVSM) both seemed in perfectly good health, David (Scottishranger) the medic, Dean (Tratorix) who wasn’t looking too good, and Lorraine (CB) who was terribly wounded but still showed some life. “We’re doomed…” Nicole thought to herself.

A half hour went by through her shift, and no signs of life. But then, she heard light footsteps and odd breathing on the other end of the lock-and-barred door. A sound… *knock knock* “Will you let me in? I need some help…”

Nicole opened the door, and there stood Hector (White eyes) looking very pale with darkening eyes. His color was still there, an off white, instead of a paper white like the Hostiles. He stumbled into the foyer, “Does anyone have any food?” Nicole ran and got him some of hers “Are you alright?”

He took a bite, and spat it out. “Food tastes terrible now! Why me!?” His voice went shrill at the end, and he quickly snapped his gaze in her direction. “Who is hurt?” Nicole noticed that he hadn’t even looked at the two sleeping injuries. “Well, um, Dean and Lorraine. Why?”

Hector looked over at the two and began walking over to them, “I can smell their pain…”

The two slept side by side, and Hector went in between them, squatted down, and put a hand on each of their necks. “What are you doing? Leave them alone!” Nicole yelled. Ronald, Jeffrey, and David woke up, but Dean and Lorraine seemed frozen in time. Hector looked up at Nicole, “I can’t deny him…”

Hector squeezed hard and tore out both of their jugulars. Blood went everywhere as they both died instantly. Ronald and Jeffrey both kicked into action, with gardening shovels and butter knife in hand, the both attempted to thrash Hector but he seemed to escape back through the Foyer door into the hall using supernatural speed…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Martin led four other men through the hallway and down the stairs toward the Storage Room…

“So let me get this straight, you want me to stand between the four of you and fire a staple gun at the monsters if we find them? A staple gun?” Lester (Chaotix) exclaimed surprised.

“Yeah, you have a problem with that?” Jose (Atheotes) answered him.

The other two, Eric (TB) and Brian (EF) kept quiet, concentrating on their mission. Being outside of the Foyer was always a high tension job.

The group made it to the stairwell and at the bottom they spotted a Hostile standing straight up facing into the door going into the downstairs hallway. It showed no life and just stood there aimlessly.

Martin made it clear to get into the Storage Room and get it scouted and searched at all cost, and so the group chose Lester and Brian to use long range fire on it as it seemed unaware.

Lester lined up his staple gun, and Brian readied himself to throw his shovel like a spear. The two counted to themselves in a whisper, “3, 2, 1… Go!” and the two began the assault. The Hostile remained unaware until it was hit hard in the back of the head with the shovel head and was pierced by an industrial staple in the neck. It yelled, loud and shrill, and ran fast into the Storage Room.

The five men quickly made their way down the stairwell and once they got there they ran into the Storage Room in formation, Jose at the front wielding a machete, Lester in the center with his staple gun, Martin on the left with his hammer, and Brian on the right with his shovel he picked back up. Eric was left to guard the door with a screwdriver.

Inside, amongst boxes and shelves that could hold pretty much anything they would ever need stood four Hostiles and the injured one that had been attacked. The little one was lying on the ground, bleeding out of the back of the head, and the others were approaching him, hungry. The group watched as four Hostiles devoured their injured comrade.

“There are too many, escape!” Martin yelled as Eric left first, followed by Brian, then Lester, then Martin. Jose, being in the back, was grabbed by the biggest Hostile by the leg and thrown across the room, yelling for his life before severing his spinal cord on the hard basement wall. He too was devoured.

Martin attempted to help him but the others held him back, “We can’t leave him!” He yelled. “He’s a goner! Save yourself!” Screamed Lester as the four remaining men fled back to the top of the stairs.

“We could hold them here!” Martin yelled battle ready. They waited, and were not being pursued. They could not take such overwhelming numbers, not without more help, so they returned to the Foyer…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

John (Centurion1), Donna (ATPG), and Casey (Double A) chose to return to Bedroom B and see what had caused Laura’s death. John entered the door, and the two girls barred the door with large furniture as he scouted the room for secret doors and passageways. When he found none in the bedroom he and Casey moved on into the bathroom and found nothing. The door into Bedroom A remained locked.

“Then how did that thing get into this room with it all sealed up?” John asked, frustrated.

“Maybe he was there the entire time and the last team didn’t see him?” Donna suggested.

They went back and forth and concluded that the rooms were secure, and that Laura’s death was unexplainable…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Steven (Greyblades) along with Gregory (DIY), Clarence (Beefy), and Daniel (Johnhughthom) chose to go into the Kitchen for more food supplies.

The group entered through the Kitchen, familiar with it but still wary of deadly foes. When they concluded that they were alone, they each grabbed as much food as they could (8 units) and exited the door into the hallway.

They each walked towards the Foyer, backs to the Billiards Room door. A Hostile opened the door, made aware of other life through its scent, and it stalked the last man in line, Daniel.

Right before Steven reached the door to the Foyer, Daniel’s scream was heard in the back. He dropped his food loot, a pool cue through his chest from the back. The Hostile, grabbed Daniel’s head by the hair and began dragging his body to the Billiards Room.

The other men escaped back into the Foyer, believing Daniel had died instantly. They brought with them pale faces, shakings hands, and 24 units of well deserved food.

Thank you :bow:

Ah jeez, I didn't send a PM again.

Alright. White Eyes is turning into one of them, and he just killed the two wounded. Totally handled himself well.

Please do so this time around. :bow:

Also, you read fast! :laugh4:

I've been told that. :P

Alright, so presumably, most of us had sent in orders that had running away playing a big part. The alternative, fighting, would probably have damaged them more, but ended with even more bodies lost. So I don't really know. Perhaps we should travel in larger groups? We would be able to do more damage more quickly.

:furious3::furious3::furious3::furious3:

Whiteyes is now official dead. :whip:





also, Zain did I not say to not leave anyone behind? :inquisitive: I would have preferred a heroic and futile attack to try and get atheotes back :laugh4:

Nevermind, I see what you did there :yes: :laugh4::laugh4::laugh4: No heroic sacrifice this time, maybe next time.

Well this did not go well. :juggle2: I am now officially ticked off. 4 hostiles...... dear lord. and surprise surprise we are running low on food.


Did the kitchen group not send in orders? If they were going by my skeleton orders it would explain why someone died.

I say we all band together and clear out the house room by room, If they want to kill us they have to fight us all at once!

You all noticed the "amongst boxes and shelves that could hold pretty much anything they would ever need"? That is why we need to get into the storage room. :yes:


Also, Is it just me or are their more hostiles? Double A might have been partially correct.



My plan is this. This phase we go out in force. All 12 people not sleeping this phase are going to head to the storeroom. We are going to take that room. :whip: And if we see whitey along the way we can decapitate him a little. The watch is to not let in whitey, ever. He is now officially a hostile, and should be treated as such.

I will divide up the weapons for our 12 man group later today, everyone with anything better than a fork will be coming with us. (or you will be giving up your weapon for someone else to use.


I will be leading the group. And, we are NOT leaving anyone behind.


also, you all noticed the hostile key went into the cabinet right? It would not open yet, but that is because we need 2 other keys. I smell a way out!


And I hope no one missed the injured hostile being eaten by the others.... Seems like they are willing to eat anything. Cannibalistic ghouls, go figure. We can exploit that.... somehow.

The kitchen group all sent in orders but Johnhughthom, thus his death.

The Mansion is growing colder...

I always knew White_Eyes was a real bad boy.

Why can't you men be more like him?

*sigh....*

my group only has one unit of food left. Im a little worried that we are all going to die of starvation. anyone care to resupply us or something..........

you guys could have taken that billiards monster....... way to not be cowards.

ok so if we injure them enough to bleed they get devoured. so if we find them in smaller groups injure one and let the other devour his brethren. seems simple enough to me. We gotta get to the storage room.


And why did you let white eyes in....... big mistake there.

I highly recommend that we do not fondle White Eyes or any of the hostiles.

Poor Atheotes, I think these freaks have a grudge againt us for killing their friend in any case If I encounter the hostile who killed atheotes I'm killing the bastard myself whether the group helps or not.

Avenge my death:bow:
hopefully we have learnt something.
we need bigger groups
people left alone could get transformed
in a group of hostiles, if we cause one to bleed, the others will devour one of their own. we could use this as distraction and strategy if we use a ranged weapon (staple gun in our case). they are busy eating and we have also reduced their numbers...win-win for us.

White_Eyes, I'm disappointed in you. :no:

Sorry for not being more helpful, everyone, I've been a bit busy lately. Good luck getting out of here. :bow:
