Haunted Halloween VI: Night on Devil's Peak - Day 6 - Finale will be posted in the Meneverse in the near future.
http://www.menewsha.com/img/37965/77...9485e27b1b.jpg thanks to Nephila for the banner! :> Happy Pumpkin Day, everyone! Here we are again for another Haunted Halloween! In the past you've had to avoid ghosts, fight monsters, solve murders, escape serial killers and defeat aliens. But y'know, this time we're taking it nice and easy. All you have to do is deliver a package. What could be easier? [ninja] |

http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/fa...25a37d1e95.png http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/b6...f914bdfb8c.png Arthur Abernathy Lead delivery man for the Moonlight Delivery Service. Arthur is a good-natured, average Joe. He's a hard worker, loyal and a damn fine leader. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/00...d62c3271f8.png Belly After Arthur, the MDS' most trusted delivery person. Belly is an intelligent and level-headed lady. She can be a bit gruff sometimes, but is kindhearted through and through. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/e8...fe3ea67244.png Howdy Howdy showed up at the MDS one day and they gave him a job. He jokes around a lot, but don't let his quirky, self-deprecating sense of humor fool you: Howdy is honest, hardworking, and just might be the smartest guy in the room. The others may not realize this, but they'd be lost without him. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/76...afa05217fa.png Mrs. Margarite Honeysett Owner and manager of the Moonlight Delivery Service. Mrs. Honeysett doesn't mind being the motherly figure in the office, as long as you know who's the boss. She don't want none of your sass. |
http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/d5...a1955947a9.png evilcupcakecat: Criminy, I haven't been in a church since I was 13. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/38...772afabfe5.png evil_samara: Your family stopped going? http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/d5...a1955947a9.png evilcupcakecat: My family never went. My friends and I robbed one when we were kids. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/38...772afabfe5.png evil_samara: [shocked] What?! Y-you're kidding?... Aren't you? http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/d5...a1955947a9.png evilcupcakecat: [ignores the question] ... Well, Odell ain't here. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/38...772afabfe5.png evil_samara: If we get out of this alive, maybe I should start going to church. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/d5...a1955947a9.png evilcupcakecat: You wouldn't be able to sleep in. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/38...772afabfe5.png evil_samara: That's true. I really like sleeping in on Sundays. And then snacking all day long. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/d5...a1955947a9.png evilcupcakecat: You know what doesn't make a very good snack? A giant bag of stolen communion wafers. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/7e...ce00712417.png Masked Figure: Tsk tsk. Very naughty. I think it's time you atoned for your sins. Arthur tried, he tried so hard to keep his team organized. They had lost so many tonight, and it was only logical that they stayed together. But those lugnuts, they were wont for wandering off. It’s like they were determined to search every room. What did they expect to find? Gold? Prizes? That’s a laugh. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/99...57bc276d6d.png Belly: [annoyed] Can we stop with the cool and relatively dry business? http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/1c...c736d6c2a1.png Howdy: But it’s a running joke. It adds humor to the g… http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/e7...9f2254ecd3.png Belly: [menacingly] I swear to god, Howdy. If those robed freaks don’t catch us, I will finish you off myself. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/b7...576fad0ae0.png Arthur: C’mon, cool it you two. The situation’s bad enough without your arguing. Once again employing the flashlight, they snake their way along the pitch black hallway, before heading down the staircase into the basement. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/ef...f48504cab5.png Belly: [to Arthur] So, you think we can trust this guy? http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/cd...af54c947a5.png Arthur: Odell? I don’t know. After the good sheriff, I'm cautious. But I pray we can. Cause like it or not, right now he’s our only hope. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/d6...ae94a504d1.png Belly: [sighing] If only we could find Father Obi-Wan Kenobi. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/00...01525857ab.png Howdy: Wait, do you guys here something? They stop and listen. Nothing is apparent at first, but then there is a curious thump. Then a second, and then a more audible one. The trio are left confused until suddenly all hell breaks loose! The air is filled with a cacophony of shouts and movement. The trainees appear, racing down the steps, urging Arthur, Belly and Howdy to run. The cultists are in the church! Sprinting down the murky hallway, a hand suddenly reaches out from the boiler room and pulls Arthur inside. The others follow. It’s Father Odell, miming for them to stay silent. He moves, almost catlike, to close the door, then hurries across the room. There are a row of shelves built into the wall. In the dim light, it’s hard to see exactly what the priest is doing, but then surprisingly the shelf opens inward to reveal a corridor. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/47...ffde8ce8f5.png Father Odell: [in a hushed tone] Quickly, this way. Without argument, they proceed. The passage is dark as midnight, but Father Odell retrieves an oil lantern from the wall and lights it. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/a4...347ff4f327.png Arthur: Where are we? http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/28...b96eb90f7d.png Father Odell: [closing the corridor entrance] It’s secret tunnel beneath the church. It leads to the old mine. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/19...9f3942c574.png Howdy: Oh boy, we’re having an adventure like the Goonies! http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/33...46f5781e0b.png Belly: Father, we need to know what this is all about. We need answers. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/a3...a3061c0c50.png Father Odell: And you will have them, shortly. But for now we must continue. On and on they walk, minute after minute. All is still, save for the muffled footsteps on the dirt path. Arthur became aware that once again their numbers were fewer. evil_samara was gone. evilcupcakecat too. As much as he'd like to know their fate, he couldn't dwell on what may have happened to them. But he promised himself, if by some miracle they survived this night, he would find his friends, one way or another. The team had assumed they would be descending deeper into the mountain, but at some point it became clear they were instead moving upward. Finally, they reached the end of the tunnel and came to a rusted metal door. With some effort Father Odell pried the door open, ushering the MDS crew through. Once inside, he shut it again, then locked it with a key retrieved from his pocket. The air was stale. The darkness permeated this place too, but in the lantern’s glow they could tell the room was large, with rough hewn rock walls. This was the mine proper. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/67...cb5938def7.png Arthur: [to Odell] What do we do now? Slipping the key back into his pocket, the priest strangely ignores Arthur’s question, and instead calmly asks… http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/47...ffde8ce8f5.png Father Odell: Who brought the box into Devil’s Peak? An odd question. The delivery crew throws quick glances at one another. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/da...7ac42fd3cf.png Arthur: [confused] Wh-what? I… I told you, we did. We were making a delivery. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/2c...1fa790beaf.png Father Odell: [a bit more forceful] But which one of you actually brought the box into town? http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/ba...f2e157beb5.png Arthur: [totally dumbfounded] I don’t understand what you mean. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/00...375f119769.png Father Odell: [sighing, but smiling] No matter, we’ll know soon enough. [clasping his hands] You asked what we do now. Well, now we wait for the others. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/f6...abd2e152ad.png Belly: [eyes widening] What others? http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/6a...c7a75f38f9.png Father Odell: [pleasantly] You’ve all put us through so much trouble tonight. Running through the forest like chickens with their heads cut off. This would have been so much easier if you had come quietly and simply given us the box. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/99...78802e8b63.png Howdy: I uh, don’t want to alarm you guys, but I have sinking suspicion that Father Fright’s one of them masked weirdoes. [gonk] http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/7b...76bdd668e7.png Father Odell: Yes, I’m afraid so. And now there’s nowhere to run. My brothers and sisters will be joining us soon. Do try to relax, escape is impossible. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/f7...85e531837b.png Belly: What do you want from us?! http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/58...baf8495934.png Father Odell: You will see. Don’t worry, it will all soon be over. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/c1...80b1b43f84.png Arthur: And you just expect us to go quietly?! http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/00...375f119769.png Father Odell: [still smiling] What other option do you have? http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/18...6e936aa26a.png Arthur: Well… I’ve always been a fan of plan B. And quick as a flash, Arthur sprints forward and kicks Father Odell square in the nuts. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/6a...5a220943ed.png Father Odell: [howling, as he falls to the floor] My thingies! http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/5d...03da931c2b.png Arthur: Remember our motto: The Moonlight Delivery Service: F**k you! http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/c6...402ca9820a.png Belly: [smirking] Now that is one hell of a motto. Let's get outta here! Scooping up the lantern, Arthur and his team run off, plunging further into the old mine. They scurry, this way and that, never quite getting their bearings. As much as he’d like to stop and assess the situation, there’s no time to think. Odell isn’t gonna stay down for long, and the other cult members will certainly be here soon. It’s difficult to tell if they’re going in circles or not, but suddenly they’re at a dead end. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/a4...347ff4f327.png Arthur: Crap, there really is no way out of here! http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/ea...f524e4cc86.png Belly: No, wait! Arthur look! Pressing him to shine his light further in, there on the opposite end of the room are a series of doorways, each walled up by bricks, and each numbered from one to eight. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/67...cb5938def7.png Arthur: Do you think they lead somewhere? http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/ef...f48504cab5.png Belly: Who knows. But it’s better than staying here. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/cd...af54c947a5.png Arthur: But how do we get through?! http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/1c...c736d6c2a1.png Howdy: [just a few feet away] Hey guys, look at this! I found some conveniently placed pick axes! Mouth ajar, Arthur looks at Belly and she looks at him. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/b7...75cb79873d.png Belly: [with a shrug] Heigh-ho! http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/f2...12c2483afc.png Arthur: Everybody grab an axe and get to work! http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/f9...658cdb3083.pnghttp://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/fe...04ad371d25.png Location: Old Mine Search Options: -- Doorway 1 -- Doorway 2 -- Doorway 3 -- Doorway 4 -- Doorway 5 -- Doorway 6 -- Doorway 7 -- Doorway 8 Paste this form into the thread to play [COLOR="Red"][SIZE="5"][B]Today is Day Six. Let's get outta here![/B][/SIZE] Which doorway did you pick? |
http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/65...066ff9c6af.png http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/81...247b2983b1.pnghttp://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/ca...e87c73185a.png http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/9d...f556404384.pnghttp://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/2e...1e230828bb.png Location: St. Teresa's Church Boiler Room You find Father Odell in the Boiler Room. Quickly, as the cult members crash overhead, he ushers you through the secret passage. As you move past, your eye catches something just above the doorway. A quick glimpse of five strange symbols. You've seen them more than once tonight, and here they are again. And suddenly you're filled with dread. http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/96...29a4108127.pnghttp://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/96...29a4108127.pnghttp://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/96...29a4108127.pnghttp://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/96...29a4108127.pnghttp://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/96...29a4108127.png Chapel Your grandmother used to say that after every church service, she'd head to the chapel and pray in solitude. And that this would refill her spirit and help her face the days ahead. You've never been the church-going type, but if you've ever needed help, it's now. You kneel for a minute, but don't know how to start or how to find the words. So instead, you ask your childhood cat, Mickey, for guidance. And instantly, somewhere in the back of your head, you hear a 'meow'. Which you take to mean, 'Buck up. You're gonna be okay.' --- You smile and stand, knowing there's a fuzzy little angel looking out for you. (Angelic Blessing +1 Raffle Ticket) http://www.menewsha.com/images/items...7d31b8c0ec.gif Choir Room Father Odell isn't in the choir room, but there is a pretty impressive looking piano. Cracking your knuckles, you take a seat and let your fingers fly across the keys. You start to belt out one of your favorite tunes, and really get into the moment. With a big smile, you finish, take off your hat and bow before your coworkers. They begin to fill your hat with cash. Wow, you musta been really good. ... No, they're actually paying you to stop. Philistines. [:|] (+700g [gold]) Classroom As it says in the good book, "You're screwed." [sweat] (MISSING - See F.A.Q.) Office Out of everywhere in the church, you'd swear that Father Odell would have been in his office. But no luck. Oh well, no need to stay here. --- But wait, what's that? A small box labeled 'Collection Plate Earnings'. Now that's interesting. But certainly you couldn't. That would be wrong. But... who would know? [ninja] ... So caught up with your own avarice, that you fail to notice the photos on the wall. Pictures of Father Odell with his parishioners . Look, there's Mrs. Etherington! Sheriff Henderson! Ms. Sadler, and everyone you've met tonight. ... As well as a certain someone. (+800g [gold]) Sacristy Now, you're not exactly sure what a 'sacristy' is, but by the looks of it, you'd guess maybe a religious wardrobe. Which means... MAKEOVER! [:O] But rifling through the closets, it's pretty slim pickin's. --- This is kinda cute, but maybe a little too big in the hips. Ugh, the hemline on this one is so last season. The only good piece if a lush red cloak. Not exactly something you'd see on the catwalks of Milan, but it'll do. (Garnet Fur-Trim Cloak) http://www.menewsha.com/images/items...13d0c4397c.gif Storage Room The storage room in a church basement is just as interesting as you'd think it would be. Just a bunch of whatsits and whoits and doodads. In a far corner of the room you find a few boxes marked 'Play - The Story of Solomon'. Out of curiosity you look through them. Definitely nothing special. But in the get up for Bathsheba's character, you discover a diamond tiara. My goodness! It's so stunning, you'd swear it was real. (Gold Decor Tiara - Diamond) http://www.menewsha.com/images/items...4daf30eb47.gif Vestry It's been your understanding that a vestry is a sort of meeting room in the church, but why would one be hidden underground? You're in a holy place, and yet there is something sinister about this room. And what makes you the most uneasy is the mirror hanging on the opposite wall. Aesthetically it's very pretty, but looking into its reflection stirs a sense of fear in you. And all you want to do is run.
