"You bundle the concussed jock to the ground"

[karohemd]

Just one of the quotes from belak_krin's superb one-off game of Dead of Night at the Bun Shop.
Very silly and very fun. Many thanks to belak_krin for running it and to akonken (fearless reporter), jholloway (conspiracy theorist), rirekon (shoe fetishist) and twentypence (dimwit) for adding to the fun. :o)
There were fish monsters, carnies, evil mad cultists, mad dogs (and Survival Bones), crazy stunts, bad special effects and everything else a B-Movie Horror RPG needs.

So what happened at the end then?

I'm not quite sure when you left, so here's a quick rundown.
holloway found an evil Cultist Book of Doom written in Proto-Sumerian (which he could read, of course) that told him about their underwater ancient god who demanded a sacrifce of a young girl every 100 years, so naturally, he took it with him, as well as one of the ritual knives. Before he left, he sabotaged the scuba gear there, just to make sure the atmosphere was rich in oxygen.
I ineffectually search the carnies' caravans, only to find a huge mad dog who I could fend off with my Survival Bone but then got into a scrap with the carnies. Good thing jholloway came to my aid so we managed to beat the crap out of them and left.
Just because things got a bit funny at the Freak Show tent, too akonken blew it up (with the aid of the oxygen seeping from the Hall of Mirrors).
Unfortunately and not realising that rirekon could read Sumerianish, too, jholloway showed him the book whereupon rirekon took it, ran off, got into the van and drove off towards the lake. We managed to bundle in as he went off and just stopped the van a foot short of the lake shore.
So, rirekon jumps into the lake and we obviously follow him. We quickly find the secret underwater cave complete with breathable air bubble, a ring of evil cultists in black robes and the little girl on a slab about to be sacrificed.
More scuffling, bashing in of heads, setting fire to robes, spectacular stunts, threatening to burn water-soaked books and spending of Survival Points later, all the cultists are dead and the little girl is saved.

Oh, let's not leave out an important point here. So the boss guy is about to sacrifice the little girl, right? And we're all burning Survival Points like nuts trying to save her. Finally, I get a decent roll and get in between the culty and the kid, when Knifey McStabberson here runs up and shivs the cult leader in the back, spilling his blood all over the altar and releasing the monster anyway.

So anyway, the big ugly is chasing the survivors (rirekon got killed earlier) and the girl, and I take one of the spare air tanks from the scuba gear and pull a Jaws on it, spending my last SP in the process. 0 isn't quite dead, so I did make it out alive -- just.

Ah yes, how could I forget. *cough*

Glad you enjoyed it. Expect something a little different next time...
