Turn 4: Who Wants to Live Forever?Josephi peers over at the book, with a slightly bemused expression on his face.
"Vell, zis is certainly strangest dream I have in long time. Vy not."
Sign book
[5] - You quickly take the knife first, draw some of your blood and sign the book without a sweat.
Джозефи КраковскиFor a moment, you feel empty, but the feeling quickly subsides. Nyarlathotep praises your lack of dobut.
Mallo would realise he messed up what he meant while talking to them, and try to explain to the chaos in more detail.
"it's a figure of speech sir, I don't actually think you are a celebrity. It's just that someing so... So alien and powerful is incredibly hard to forget about. Come to think of that, don't celebrities gain a bit of that from separating themselves from the 'normal' people?" He would go quiet as Nyarlathotep launched into explanation as to why they are here, before chiming in at the end while signing.
"If anything, that may be why they want to seek out information regarding you and The Old ones. Your kind are an mystery, wrapped in enigma and command power beyond what any celebrity could hold.
If it's alright with you, I would like to forget about having met you here. I would rather not add to the problem futher since I am going to help you.."
cut my wrist just enough to bleed, then use the knife like a crude quill to sign my name, careful as not to damage the book. Speaking of books, figure out where that "liber ivonis" book went. I thought I had it under my arm..
[5] - As you take the knife, you recall leaving it on the table before following Nyarlathotep to this room. You cut your wrist and write your name in the tome.
Mallo BreksonYou feel weird, as if you had just lost something. You try to not think about it. Also, you notice Ryan holding your lost book.
Draw the ritual knife, dip it in Mallo's already-welling blood (after all, why be wasteful?), and sign my name with it.
[1] - Nyarlathotep convinces you to cut your wrist. A lot of blood comes out and your hands shake too much to make a proper signature.
ANTIOCH...It looks ugly as hell. Your pride is critically damaged.
Work up the nerve to cut myself and sign the book.
Sign the book if I can.
[1] - Same thing as Antioch. You barely manage to cut your wrist and write your name.
NATHANIELYou feel sick, like if you are about to faint.
This will probably be useful
Take the tome
I don't know if I really believe you, but I don't see any other option
Take the knife from Antioch and sign the book
[5] - You took the tome with you. When you are requested to sign with your own blood, you take the knife from the pale man and write your name with your own blood.
Ryan MartinYou feel weird, as if a ghost just went through your whole body. You decide to not think too hard about it.
Russel would check the unreasonable idea by asking
" Was robbers demise your doing ? " In ancient egyptian.
Then sign the book.
[3] - You are the last one. You barely manage to not cut a finger off and you successfully sign the book.
John RusselIt's not fancy, but it'll work.
Once everyone has signed, Nyarlathotep takes the huge book and (somehow) puts it in his pocket. Through one of the windows, sunlight is starting to illuminate the room.
"It's getting quite late. And by that, I mean that it's going to be morning soon. We have little time before everyone wakes up in the Earth. I have made sure that some of my servants take your sleeping bodies to a safe house near the first target. Your mission will be explained later. Anyone has any questions before sunrise?"
"Too bad! Hahahaha..."Everyone wakes up...
You are currently in an old, but fancy bed wearing some generic white pajamas. You quickly check your surroundings and notice an open window. It's morning outside. The walls are aged and the furniture is old. You wander around the room and quickly find your clothes.
They are stained with blood.
You also realize there is something in your pocket that you don't remember having before.[hidden][+?]
Josephi find a pair of strange, black coins. He also finds a strange, golden talisman with an
odd symbol incribed on it.
Mallo find his crazily angled stone, but nothing else.
John Russel find a single strange coin.
Antioch find his dark ritual knife. It's still huming with power.
Ryan Martin finds his arcane tome, but nothing else.
Nathaniel finds a pair of strange coins. He also finds a strange, golden talisman with an
odd symbol incribed on it.
After changing their clothes, everyone exits through the door of their room and reunite with everyone else in the hallway.
There is a lot of stuff to talk about.
(You are free to do anything until the messager from Nyarlathotep explains the details of the mission or someone finds a clue.)
