It was a good hunt, again. @bryan-imhoff The Rat Thing has done well of late, a little TOO well, @effofex thinks, as they walk the Ithaca City sewer system, together.
Ever since their battle of wills, The Rat Thing has been eager to please. It has led @effofex to dozens of rat nests beneath the city, helping him find all the dripping life he will need for his next Big Working.
The full moon is only a few days away, will they be able to find enough warm furry bodies to strengthen @effofex's Essence?
Deeper into the sewers they go, and darker it gets. With each victory, they've been emboldened to go a little deeper in. The candles they brought along for the job are hardly up to the task. Thats when he notices the sound, little scurrying paws, somewhere in the blackness behind him.
@effofex grips the sack of squeaking bay rats a little tighter... they can't possibly understand what he's doing, they're just rats... right?
That's when he notices @bryan-imhoff, facing him, grinning. With a series of high pitched shrieks, @bryan-imhoff commands the rats TO ATTACK!!
@effofex rolls (8) + Mythos stat bonus(2) = 10
@bryan-imhoff rolls a 14
In the confusion @bryan-imhoff is able to sever the psychic link between them! In a flash, the Rat Thing is slipping into the shadows, between the pipes, under the foul water, and out of sight...
@effofex's candle has gone out... leaving him alone in the dark....
@effofex's sanity is reduced to 4
@bryan-imhoff's Mythos stat grows to +1
What an upset! Hope you guys play again next week!
This is the kind of the flavor text that you can like, even when you're getting trounced. Just saw the updated post from 4 days ago, looking forward to it!
