In the sunken city of R'lyleh dread Cthulhu lies dreaming.  I wonder if we can sneak into stanford and steal their copy of the necrocomicon.....

Yes, Stanford has a copy of the necrocomnicon on it's library inventory. Yes, it's a joke. Probably.

I'd say an apartment at the top level of a building right next to another building's roof that you can easily reach, so as to leave/enter without using the front door.
Also, the apartment should be as close to a fire station as possible.
Perhaps we can locate a bookstore, and find a few copies of H.P Lovecraft.



On your way to find an apartment, you decide to stop at an old bookstore. This city's giving off a weird vibe to your supernatural senses, and you figured you should do some background research from the writings of S.K Loathbuild, a deceased horror writer. In your experience, it tends to be a good guide to one branch of the paranormal family tree.

Outside the bookstore is a whiskered old codger. He's wearing a Hawaiian shirt and Aviator shades, along with combat boots and cargo shorts. He seems angry at the bookstore, and peripherally at you for appearing to be entering the store. However, he makes no move to do you harm, so you ignore him for now.

If you vote to enter the bookstore and peruse their collection, vote on which book to search for. Otherwise, choose another course of action.

We should get a copy of the Necronomnomnomicon. Pay for it by writing x30 on a dollar bill and telling the cashier to keep the change.

we should probably test that trick before we use it. Necronomicon either way though.

Just as a poke to add another action to the discussion, you should know that there is a subtle threat to you in that picture. It isn't Henderson, but it's there.

I admire the creativity of the guess, but you'll be able to tell what the danger is when you see it. So, no. It is not the k.

Oh right the guy watching us right at the top there.

I thought that was too obvious so I skipped it.
