Lead-InThe Org has provided a new assignment in Europe. The assignment is to travel to Avignon, France and investigate suspect activities. The activities are a rash of killings during the night hours in the Rocher des Doms area and other inside the wall and outside wall parks by some unknown animal, presumed a wolf or bear. Pre Session Activities – IGD: 09/16/07Both Jayson and Vern had some wicked dreams.

Session 1: 11/07/07 – IGD: 09/20/07Arrived in Avignon, France. Researched the reported killings:
You visited the park with the most killings. You found a skull fragment and a claw stuck in a tree (see Board Notes). That night you encountered what was doing the killing…gargoyles. Board Notes from Session 1:
Session 2: 11/28/07 – IGD: 09/21/07In the early morning hours of 9/21 you encountered the gargoyles in the park (a cemetery attached to the park) and an apparent “demon” for lack of better words. There was also a female captor at the park, but the events of the evening showed that the captor may not have really been there at all. Perhaps it was a trap laid out by the demon. The demon disappeared into a “portal” prior to you being able to kill it. You dispatched the gargoyles. Photo:
You finished up at the park and went to your hotel and crashed/nursed wounds for the day. Casey started reading the tome (to be finished on 10/20) Vern started reading the tome (to be finished on 9/27) Session 2: 11/28/07 – IGD: 09/22/07Performed research:

Session 2: 11/28/07 – IGD: 09/23/07Casey’s Account of events:I decipher a passage from the book – Vern thinks he can make it work. 2-0 tells us that he had a nightmare about studying the book, then floating off the ground inside a room. He hits his head on the ceiling and can move around by grabbing things. The room gets smaller and smaller, and he gets crushed by the room. He thinks the book has power and if we read the book, we can cast spells that are in it. One of the spells in it matches Vern’s problems, and he thinks it will help. Vern talks about his nightmares from the last 4 nights – last night he saw a lady come down stairs in the house from before and turned on a flashlight and her name came to him, “Mandy C..” from the dig, and her essence got put into a glass globe and was chained to Vern’s essence and swirled with a mist, and there was an evil dude that sucks the life out of babies to replenish himself. We find out Mandy is on assignment in Zaragosa doing recon work, and showed up on 9/22 at the house there. We get her cell phone number. We call and get voice mail, Vern thinks she sounds HOT. He leaves a message to call him back. We leave for the house. We get to the house and go downstairs. Vern figures out that he was seeing in his dream through the globe. About 11pm. Mandy says she got attacked at around 2am yesterday. I take Mandy upstairs to comfort her. I come down into the basement after a couple of minutes. The hair stands up on my neck and I think that there is something cool but scary down here. I see a glowing circle on the floor, but no one else sees it. Kristin tells me about some acid trip she was on and floating in the air. I check out the panel that opens like it did before (however that was). I look in and see a book! I reach for the book, as Vern yells, NOOOOO! As I pull the book out, I get pricked by a needle, poking me several times. I open the book and the pages look blank. A few seconds later, words swim up out of the pages to appear. I start reading it. Bobby heads upstairs. He hears a slight chain rattle and wind change. He drops to a crouch and whispers “He’s back!” Vern drops to one knee with the other book and says “oh, crap!” “Who’s back?” I ask, and keep reading. Doc pulls a weapon and heads upstairs. I get accosted by shadow. Two of them come out of the corners of the room and attack me. I scream like a little girl for Bobby, and I feel weaker. Kristin tasers one of them and it reacts as though it was hurt by it. I pull out my taser and try to stun the thing, but I miss it. From upstairs, Evan calls out that he sees the “air guy”. Evan shoots at it and misses. The shadow guys fade back into the corners. Kristin tells me that if I still see the circle I should be careful with no one else down here, then leaves. Great. Evan sees a round portal open up and the air guy steps through and at the same time, I see something appear (the air guy) in the circle and he blasts me and Vern with a gust of air, and we both get hurt with flying debris. The thing points at me and says “Give me the tome” in English. There are two glass globes on a chained on a belt that the air guy is wearing around it’s waist. The globes are circling in a binary fashion. Bobby shoots at the guy and hits it in the belt, the chain sparks. I run past it and up the stairs behind Bobby. Vern hits one of the globes with the butt of his taser, and shatters it. A puff of smoke explodes out from it and clouds in the air. He starts reading from the book and chanting, and all the smoke in the air gets sucked into Vern’s body. Vern yowls. Evan comes down the stairs in front of Bobby and shoots at the wispy guy and hits it. The shadows come out around me, attacking me and Kristin and both miss. Kristin tasers one and it explodes and rains shadow bits down onto the floor, then tasers the other one. The air guy points at Vern and says “That one will do, too” and hits him but does not hurt him. Bobby shoots and hits the remaining globe, and it breaks, another puff of smoke exploding from it. I try to taser the shadow, but fail miserably. Vern chants again, and the smoky air sifts up through the ceiling of the basement, then Vern starts drooling. The air guy howls in frustration. Evan shoots at the air guy and hits it twice. The shadow hits me twice and I fall to the floor, collapsing under the weight of my clothes. The air guy opens another door and steps through. Bobby tasers the shadow and it exlopdes. Vern goes to bed, and I start reading through the book I found, and the book grows legs from each corner, moves a little ways away from me and sits back down on the table! I yell out that the book moved, but no one else saw it move. They’re obviously all hallucinating, and they are ruining my concentration. I play along and yawn, and we decide to go to bed. We have a brief discussion about where the books go, and the one I found stays in my room with me. After they leave, I get the book back out and read some more. This time the book doesn’t move (I figured it was them) and I discern that the book I found has three sections, similar to the other book, but it looks like it is different sections than the other one. We go back to the house and I convince Mandy to stay upstairs while we rummage around again. I take a closer look at the circle and I recognize it as (TBD). We find nothing in the alcove. At 4:09 am on the 25th, I step into the circle – Kristin screams “I told you not to go in there without the rope!” but I don’t hear her and she tries to grab me as I go in. On top of the desk are three candles, one on either end and one in the front, and it looks like the candles have been replaced many, many times, as a waterfall of wax flows down from each one all the way down to the floor. As I watch, the children whimper and topple to the floor, and the man sitting at the desk appears to rejuvenate, which for some reason no longer repulses me, and in fact, makes me think he is pretty cool. Then I come out of the vision to Kristin tackling me.
To everyone else, we both froze in mid-stride during the length of our visions. Kristin had the same vision. I look back and the circle is gone. Next Story: The Orb of the Double Sight |
