Rowsdower Goldstein - Main Bedroom "You can use mine, it's designed for more than one person anyway" said Rowsdower to Stanley "Hey does anyone know if the Professor has a PAL?" "If he doesn't then he could get in a lot of trouble having a shotgun." "Anyway lets open the desk up so we can see if anything else could potentially get the Prof Mountine Manhandled...especially with the weird jars I found." "Do you mind Thomas I promise I wont break it, just open it?" Lockpicking skill to the desk and two other locks if it's cool with Thomas. Lockpicking Skill 13 +2 for a search endoscope so Lockpicking 15 and also a full set of locking picking tools and drills and saws as needed).

Thomas Brandt - Cabin Child(?) Bedroom "Oh, yeah, sure. Go for it, Rowsdower." Thomas is too enamored with the mystery desk to question how Rowsdower was going to open it. If he's offering, he's got to have a better plan than finding a big rock or perhaps bending a paper clip, right?

Stanley Zubizaretta - Main Bedroom "All right. Thanks again, Rows." Stanley heads over to the corner and grabs up his heavy duffle bag. He leaves the guys to their desk-screwing-with and walks outside; the sun is setting fast, and he needs to get everything unpacked and set up. It doesn't take long for him to walk to the military vet's tent, though he'll need to wait for him to get back so he can retrieve a spare sleeping bag from wherever he's hiding them. Stanley leaves the collapsed boom and shotgun mic in the bag, and instead pulls out his Marlin. The gun is disassembled into three main components: the lever, the receiver/barrel, and the stock (as well as a few pins and screws and the bolt/ejector kept in a ziplock bag). He gets to work for a few minutes with the screwdriver in his kit, reassembling the weapon.

Inside the Cabin: Children's Room Picking both locks takes Rowsdower all of two minutes. It takes him longer to fit the pick and torsion wrench into the locks than it does to pop them. Opening up the rather heavy desk reveals a lot of empty space, and a beat up, stained, leather bound book. Outside the Cabin A short glance at the sky from Stanley shows the wind is picking up. Might be one of those nasty Alberta summer storms, especially this close to the Rockies.

Rowsdower Goldenstein Children's Room "Hey guys I found a really neat book...but you don't need to take my word for it!" Rowsdower Examines the Book using any Hidden Lore or Literature Skills He Can...along with the jars from Earlier "Oh Stan, I screwed up, I only have one sleeping bag, but you can use it, since I screwed up." "I have a bunch of coats and emergency blankets and regular blankets to make a nice bed that is still easily better than CF accommodations in Kandahar, that I can use." "I guess I packed lighter then I remembered." After examining the book Rowsdower seats up all the gear and kit inside his tent dome. He also loads, chambers. and puts the M14S and Tavor settings. Something about this place is weird and he's getting that bad feeling he had before he went on raids with sketchy or poo poo intelligence.

Stanley Zubizaretta - Rowsdower's Tent As the boys in the cabin break the locks, Stanley finishes assembling his Marlin Guide Gun. The short, handy rifle was bought with his parent's money not long before the trip; his dad owned some rifles and pistols, but Stanley had never owned any guns of his own except for his home defense Glock in 10mm back at the apartment. He figured that, with any manner of large woodland creatures (especially black bears, which he heard were sighted around Edmonton), it would be best to get himself something to carry out into the forest. After some more internet research, he settled on the big .45-70 Government cartridge from the good ol' USA. He chose the Marlin for its small size, since he wouldn't be popping deer from 200 yards, and bought some heavy jacketed hollow points that guaranteed a good result against whatever beast it was aimed at. After racking the lever and hearing the satisfying click of the hammer falling on an empty chamber, he thumbs four of the big cartridges into the magazine, racks one in, and shoves another in through the loading gate for a full 4+1 capacity. After clicking the crossbolt safety on, he sets the loaded rifle on the ground near the wall of the tent with the duffle on top of it; the gun has a buttstock shell holder from an American leather company, but he felt no need to fill it; what's he going to need to reload for out here? He's not getting into a firefight. Instead, he loads up his Case-Gard plastic ammo wallet with 10 shells, slips it into his orange hunting vest pocket, and leaves the spare 6 loose in his orange day pack. With his bear gun ready to rock, Stanley heads out of the tent to get some food. chitoryu12 fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Jun 11, 2014 |

Inside the Cabin: Children's Room Rowsdower's examination of the jars doesn't give him much, unless he opens them. One of the bottles of plant matter is definitely sage though. Whether it's for some sort of ritual, cleansing smoke, or just for throwing on food is unclear though. His attempt at reading the book is even less fruitful: the stained pages are all written in somebody's shorthand.

Rowsdower inside the Cabin: Children's Room Rowsdower first asks if anyone else wants to look at the book and to me him inside. He then retrieves his Tavor and chambers a round and puts the safety on. He attaches the sling and puts Tavor across his back and puts a loaded magazine in his pocket. He then calls everyone into the Children's room and states "We need to look inside these jars." "I think one contains human blood." Rowsdower decides to open the jars after first checking for traps first and if his first aid skill can determine if there is blood in one jar.

Stanley Zubizaretta - Children's Room Stanley is in the middle of checking out the frank and beans dinner when Rowsdower comes out and grabs his bullpup, calling him in. He was about to protest in favor of dinner when he heard the distinctive sound of a round being chambered in a semi-automatic rifle. Feeling troubled, he grabs his Marlin, slings it on his back, and follows on Rowsdower's heels. He stares at Rowsdower as he explains about the jars. "....hang on," he says. "Why did you need your gun for this?"

Mark Morcott "Ok, I know you think this is an adventure and that you are some kind of hotshot investigator, but while we are filming a short movie, this is not actually a movie. If you think this is blood, and you found weapons here, I think this be time to call the police. Err, is time to call the police. Whatever. So, should I be pulling my phone out, or is this some kind of prank you prepared for us?" Mark stands in the doorway, glaring unhappily at the heavily armed Rowsdower and the jars in front of him. His cellphone is in his hand, screen blank.

"Tabernac, I don't like this poo poo at all. Bad enough that rear end in a top hat bringing a drat arsenal with us, I mean I brought a shotgun in case we run into a bear, but he's just creepy. And that's even getting into all that wierd stuff in the cabin."

I do not feel safe here Nick. I know this will mess up our project, I will talk to the professor about it, but that man is acting crazy and I am having serious concerns over him doing something crazy like... killing me and hiding my body! Can you drive me back into town? I will pay for gas, pay for a room for the night... once I am in town I can make my own way back to the school, I just cannot stay here."

Thomas Brandt - Cabin Thomas was disappointed by the contents of the book. Whoever wrote in it didn't even have the courtesy of writing in code. Thomas felt the shorthand was an irritating grey area; while it would take some time to decode, there wasn't even the promise of juicy secrets that actual cryptography could provide. For all Thomas knew, the shorthand could be this rear end in a top hat's grocery lists and the warded desk, some kind of weird prank. Enough distractions. Thomas thought, "Looks like I have one of those groups." He went outside, hoping he could defuse the situation enough so that he would not get stuck having to do all the work himself. "Alright, alright. Can we PLEASE chill the gently caress out? Like, Professor Jackson clearly saw something in us if he let us and only us use his creepy rear end cabin in the woods for filming, and I'd rather it not go to waste. I don't care who starts talking, let's just try to work this out."

I'm sorry that the rest of you are getting caught up in this but we'll work it out. Why don't you guys stay here, get some of the planning and scripting done. I'll be back tomorrow, but right now Mark and I are going." He walks to his truck, opens the door for Mark, and drives off without another word. On the road Nick drives in silence for a few minutes, and then when they reach a straight bit of road reaches into his pocket for his pack of cigarettes. "Mind if i light up? after all that bullshit I could use one." He does't wait for an answer before putting a cigarette and lighting it, taking a long drag as they bump down the road.

Jesus Christ. I'm gone to play Fallout for a bit and I missed this? Stanley Zubizaretta - Inside the Cabin Stanley can do little but watch agape as the group argues. He can't say that he feels bad for Rowsdower; the guy may have been helpful to him when it came to sleeping bags, but he was a little....off. Brought one more gun than he really needed and must have had a whole cache of "interesting" stuff, right down to lockpicking gear. Who was this guy, anyway? As the old pickup rumbles its way down the road, Stanley can't help but feel a little more alone. Nevertheless, he's hungry. He follows Rowsdower outside to the campfire, setting his rifle down next to him as he sits on the ground. "All right, poo poo.....okay," he says. "First step is the script. Once that's done, we can make up a rough shot schedule and get to work. We may be able to film some night stuff after dinner quickly." He thinks for a second. "Hang on, what equipment did those two just leave with?" Stanley uses his default Writing skill of 5 to try and help out.

I worked up and an oilfield for a year, and some of the guys up there would put Rowsdowser to shame. That's an entirely different atmosphere though, and I don't blame you for wanting to out of there. And don't worry about Jackson, or your grade. Give him a call, tell him you left the cabin due to personal conflicts but you're still involved with the project. I'll back you up, and maybe you can do the editing, the post production work. That way you contribute to the film, but you don't necessarily have to deal with Rowsdowser."

Around the Campfire Between the dark of the brewing storm, and the dark of night, Rowsdower never sees it coming. All he knows is an immense spike of pain, before the blackness takes him away. Stanley, on the other hand, sees. He sees Rowdower's torso suddenly sprout four bloody points, he sees the skin and bones beast lift the man up by it's claws. Far worse than seeing, is the sound that escapes it's mouthfull of overly long, needle-like teeth. Part way between a roar, a demented laugh, and the sound of gravel being crushed, it reaches straight for Stanley's soul. He sits there, stunned with terror, as the beast drags Rowdower away. Thomas doesn't fare much better, emptying his stomach quite rapidly when he sees the emancipated thing slide foot long talons through the other man's chest. Rain begins to fall heavily, and the first peal of thunder rolls in the distance. The storm has arrived. gfanikf, give us a final post. The odds of you surviving being impaled by 16 inches of claw and taken to who-knows-where are virtually nil. Roland, you're vomiting from sheer terror, and can't do anything for 25 seconds. chitoyu12, you're scared out of your wits, and stunned for 8 seconds On the Road Less than three kilometers out, Nick and Mark are both shaken by a sudden, violent BANG as one of Nick's tires blow out. Nick Manages to keep his truck from violently skidding into the ditch, but only barely. Rain begins to fall heavily, and the first peal of thunder rolls in the distance. The storm has arrived. everyone, that storm has started. Expect many inches of rain, single digit visibility, and boatloads of lightening within ten minutes.
