Hi Everybody,
Chuthulu Episode 4. - A Stormy Nightmare - part two - 27 Feb 2026.
Hank talks Ferb into driving back to the house again, hoping that there could be more to discover.
Ferb shakes his head, "I don't think it is a good move, but I trust you".
"Thanks, Ferb. I trust you too".
Once there, we grab supplies and food and load them in the car boot. We go into the basement, where we find electrical and mechanical equipment, along with body parts that may have been used for equipment testing.
Also, Hank finds a receipt from Innsmouth Fisheries – From Greenwood Sanatorium, collect body parts and stuff and deliver them here. That was the same company that was at the motel the other day.
We see the bodies in the lounge. The Doctor had been shot, and the other body had been partly burned. We find a shotgun and a few more cartridges. Ferb puts his barber's tools in a case with a silver lining, which was described in the journal. We also take the wax and the coating stick. We search the car in the garage and find spare keys.
Hank hides the shotgun under the seat. They take both cars and drive back to the diner, hiding the old car in the woods close by.
As we pull in, we see a figure by the diner loo, huddled up, moaning, "Teddy, where are you, Teddy, Teddy".
In the diner, the power is off, and candles have been lit. Ferb can hear an argument.
Suddenly, the chap from the wood, Billy Esterhouse, emerges out of the wood and dashes past Ethel, not far behind him is some manifestation of ball lightning. It changes course towards Ethel. She holds a crucifix. “Begone foul beast! Begone.”
Ferb loses 1 sanity point.
Blue lightning tentacles come out and rip the widow to bits. I shoot at it and miss, and Ferb.
Both of us lose 1 sanity point.
We dash into the diner and slam the doors behind us.
Who is in the diner? Behind the bar is Mary, and Emilia has the phone on the bar with the radio, sticking pins into it. "Where are the others?", demands Ferb.
"They are in the garage, trying to get the truck to start with a new air filter or something,", replies Mary, timidly.
Billy and Emilia are arguing.
Suddenly, the radio emits sparks and bursts into flames. Mary gets a shock. Billy gets a shock, too. Mary doused the fire with water, which shocked everybody again. Ferb pulls the plug from the socket and then threatens everybody.
Mary came round, and Hank tied her up with electrical wire. Ferb questions her about the phone call earlier, "Why did you have a conversation on a phone that was not working?"
"I heard static and hoped someone could hear us even though I could not hear them".
"Why did you not recognise Emilia when she only lives up the road?"
"Well, she was all wet, with her hair all over the place and that must be a new dress; I had not seen her wear it before tonight."
Billy tells her about the blue light, which killed Martin Greaves, her boyfriend, at the doctors'.
Hank ties up Emilia.
Mary tries to charm us, Ferb succumbs, I snap him out of it, but Ferb snaps and blasts her with the shotgun, killing her. (24 damage).
4 points of sanity lost by both of us.
Hank gains 7 mythos understanding.
He can now see Mary's spectral form crawling towards him. He screams, "I've got Mary all over me, and she is coming to get mee!. I've got to get her off me, got to get her off, off, off"
Hank dashes in the back to wash the blood off his hands.
Emelia rolls 42, on Sanity and does not know what is going on.
Meanwhile, Ferb blesses them with his razor.“Begone, spectre of Mary”
Hank screams again, "Ahh.. Nooo..", as he sees Mary's fuzzy form coming through the wall towards him. He backs up to the drawer top, eyes fixed on her form approaching. She grabs his leg and starts to pull herself upwards. He tries to bat her away, "Begone, shadow, begone.", and gradually the image fades.
He cleans himself as much as he can; his hands are visibly shaking, grumbling, "This will have to do for now," and opens a bottle of whisky that was on the shelf and takes a large slug of its contents.
He looks down at his lucky rabbit's foot. "Protect me, Granny, protect me," he whispers.
He takes a few deep breaths to steady himself. comes out. (The Vision faded because he was with a friend). He takes another belt of the clear liquid and then puts the bottle back, thinking, "I don't want a drunk Ferb, too; he is the only one of us that is holding it together". Which just goes to show how badly his judgment has been affected.
Just as he does so, he sees through the Diner's windows the blue light attacking the lorry driver as he tries to get into his cab."Noo, not again,",moans Hank.
Sam runs away. Amelia has another fit. And looks slightly stronger.
Ferb cuts Billy's hair and gives him a shave. "There, you look much better now."
