The Curse of Kowhai Mall - Main Thread - GAME OVER

[Primate]

hang on, lets not accuse anyone of drawing pentagrams that may or may not have summoned demons.

[ambic]

Thank you all for your patience.

Game is back on

Current Map

Sarah sits at the desk, biding time. The demon browses Merrick's books, and as he does so, he finds a shrink-wrapped book that he seems to like. He opens it. Merrick, not one to react idly, jumps up.
"Hey, you! Red boy! You need to pay for that before reading it"
The demon, all 7ft or so of him, just grins and opens his mouth very wide, and swallows the book whole. And looks back at Merrick as if to say "What are you going to do about it?".

And Merrick is right there asking for 100.00 bucks from this otherworldly thing. And starts getting in his face about his cash. So the demon does the only logical thing, and opens his mouth even wider.

And in a single quick motion of his arms he scoops up Merrick and swallows him whole.

And then he looks at you lot, and wonders (open mouthed) about which of you would make the best dessert.

You hear a muffled voice saying "You at the Princess Bride?!? You bastard"

[groza529]

"This is either going to be really dumb, or the safest place in the room..."

Step into pentagram

[ambic]

The demon stops what he is doing, and starts staring directly at Quentin

"WHO DREW THAT! What do you think you are doing". And he moves from the bookstand over to the food court closer to, but not right next to, Quentin.

[Primate]

"Merrick!"

Go hide behind tesla

[groza529]

"Why are you here? How did you get here?"

[ambic]

"Hah! Father Jack Solitaire could tell you that. Shame he's gone. Now get out of that cursed shape, so I can eat you"

[groza529]

"I don't think so. Answer my questions."

[ambic]

"I possessed Father Jack. Father Jack was

Eliminated

. Now I am here".

The demon swoops around and picks up the pinball machine, and rather than aiming it at Quentin, he aims it the one of the tables forming the corners of the pentagon instead.

1D2

1 = Hits the Table and Knocks it clear
2 = Misses and remains unable to get at Quentin

[ambic]

The pinball machine misses everything and lies in ruins on the floor.

[Primate]

Please stop. Solitaire is dead and you no longer have his protection.

[groza529]

"Stop trying to destroy the pentagram! Destroy the turnstile instead."

[ambic]

The demon cannot get at Quentin, due to being inside the pentagram.

1. Benson (Taly)
2. Blake (Chamber)
3. Charlie (Primate)
4. Harry (PookyTheMagicalBear)
5. Judith (Nancy Drew 39)
6. Kane (George Bailey)
7. Matthew (Battle Mage)
8. Paul (Porochaz)
9. Spiro (Xalxe/Lendunistus)
10. Victoria (Talitha)

So he takes his pick

Original Roll String: 1d10

1 10-Sided Dice: (7) = 7

[ambic]

And he starts to run at Spiro, to have a nice bit of dessert to go with Merrick.

You hear a muffled voice saying "Stop making him run, stuff that burns sloshes around in here"

[ambic]

As the demon gets close to Spiro he grabs him and opens his mouth extremely wide. But before he can swallow his mouth constricts back down a normal size. He lets go of Spiro in surprise, and then looks in the direction of Charlie who is hiding behind the tesla.

"How the hell...."

[Primate]

Return to the abyss, abomination.

[ambic]

He turns back in anger, only then hearing the words "Destroy the turnstile" (crosspost). Which he promptly does by ripping it out of the ground it was in.

The Train Station (and the storage) room are now both accessible without a ticket.

There is now a metal turnstile in the middle of the room.

[ambic]

Not being able to swallow a human any more seems to anger the demon. He picks up the turnstile with the intention of destroying the Pentagram, but finds himself unable to do so.

[ambic]

He hurls it to the ground once again, but he holds his ground. He does not depart to any kind of 'abyss'

[groza529]

"Find the UFO in the storage room and free the woman trapped inside. Alive."

[Talitha]

drop tesla keys and cigar

Steal red pen from bookstand, draw a pentagram on the floor, get in it

[ambic]

Victoria gets into a makeshift pentagram only to see the tail end of the demon as it disappears off to the storage yard. But as it walks off furious at being ordered to do so, it picks up the turnstile, and reconnects it. It grins evilly and leaves

You hear Merrick muffling the words "Don't steal my books".

There are some keys and a cigar on the floor

[Primate]

press alien remote control

[groza529]

"I, uh... I suppose I should have had him release Merrick first."

[ambic]

The red gelato melts away at long last and leaves a sticky mess
