Finished a chapter in our online #CallOfCthulhu game last night. 2 investigators, an explorer and a forger, w/ @DDInTheUK1 as the Keeper.
[Thread] They scaled the exterior wall of a mental asylum in the dead of night. Obvs this simple task obviously took ~30 IRL mins to pull off

Now in the cover of the treeline; they painted a large Elder Sign on the perimeter wall. Maybe it would help, maybe it'll go unnoticed for years.
They scurried from the treeline to the lake, then to the secure-wing of the asylum.

...nurse at her station by the only door. A quick passers-by sob story was concocted and the forger headed in, ready to make an Oscar-winning performance 🎭🏆
The tension in the bizarrely-angry, red-faced nurse, quickly melted away as he drew near. Confusion & wooziness (?!) ...

.. quickly took over the nurse. She quickly slipped into an almost catatonic state. As the forger guided her to a seat and then left to get some water... the anger returned. She was reacting to the presence of the forgers' amulet... an Elder Sign! The horror-beneath couldn't...
.. control her with an Elder sign nearby! A hastily drawn symbol placed in her pocket should keep her safe (for now). The explorer & forger headed into the secure wing & cunningly managed to get another drawn symbol onto the angry baton-waving orderly.
The symbols were working!
The symbols were working!
No longer controlled by the horror-beneath... the orderly was passive and highly receptive to help. The explorer & forger took his keys, found their friend beaten and battered in his padded cell... and made their escape from the facility...
Torchlights of alerted guards flittered over the grounds behind them. The trio managed to get to the perimeter wall and climb it no problem now (adrenaline, perhaps?). They found their stashed getaway car and made their escape into the night.
Everyone was safe....
Everyone was safe....
...until the story's fade-to-black moment.
Yes the incarcerated friend was saved before their sacrifice at the full moon. However as the lunar event occurred, it became apparent that another helpless victim was found.
The horror-beneath, a lloigor, had claimed another soul

[Summary] This was perhaps our 6th session ran by @DDInTheUK1 for this campaign. The tension, pace and on-the-fly-planning made it a great finale. Obv a success as we saved our friend - but the BBEG continues to thrive at the asylum.
