Well... so much for literary classics. Steve turns back quickly and sees Erik in his sad condition.
"You're in God's hands, friend. Didn't know you well, but I hope to see you again." Steve looks over Erik one more time, a look of sorrow in his eyes, performs a Sign of the Cross, and runs away in the same direction that Rick and Angelica had run.
==========
HP: 2/2 Energy: 3/6
Action 1: 2 into Speed, 1 to run at a Speed of 2 in the same direction as Angelica and Rick, 1 to cover any negative sit mods
HP: 2/2 Energy: 1/6

"Shit, get up!!" - Erik said to himself as he stood up and started running in a clumsy way, shotgun in hand. He got just a few meter away before laying in the floor pointing the shotgun to the gas tank, his hands are trembling but he hopes the floor can help with the aiming. The dirt burns in his chest wound.
"Arggggggg!!! I wish cars exploded like in those cheap Hollywood movies. Hope this 'boomstick' con do the trick" - Erik shots the shotgun, not sure if it is going to make it explode or if he is going to miss the target.

Suddenly the driver's car door flies about a yard away from the vehicle as the monster emerges and turns toward the wounded Erik. Who has fallen halfway toward the cornfield.
Steve flies past Angelica toward the cornfield. He reaches and is following the loud Rick deeper into the cornfield.
2 3
Erik Falls 80 yards from the car. Pain sparks across his chest as he has fallen again. He rolls over and sees the door fly off the car. Just then he shoots and hits the windshield of his car. That is two shots and since this is a shotgun, Erik is out of bullets. The Red eyes of the beast train upon the wounded Erik.
Health 2 red
Angelica is shocked that Erik would shoot at the werewolf. Won't that just piss it off? Erik fell a mere yard away from her. His chest wet with crimson life. The monster's eyes are suddenly fixed on her as she becomes the next apparent threat.
2 2
Andrew had slowed way down. Still moving toward the building, but now taking little baby steps. He looks around with his guard up. Rick was coming up on him and as he turned back toward the building, Andrew saw the Scarecrow again, but this time it wasn't just hanging on a pole. A shambling, unsteady from before him with a pitchfork in hand. Rick is screaming for help and a low laughter comes from the animated dummy.
2 6
Rick catches up to Andrew and sees the laughing scarecrow with the pitchfork.

"Rick? Rick! It's Steve, I can't quite find you. I passed Angel- oh shit." Steve realized that Angelica was stuck behind him and that the werewolf was after her. His fear kicking in, he certainly didn't want to go all the way back. Fallen prey are an easy kill, but one that's standing could be a real threat and threatening is the last thing that Steve wanted to be.
Creeping a little bit closer to Angelica, but not close enough to draw the werewolf's attention, Steve calls out to her. "Angelica! Come on, it isn't much further. If you can just get over here, I'll help you catch up with Rick and Andrew!" It isn't much, but through his leadership in high school, Steve had discovered that encouragement can work more effectively than issuing actual demands.
=======
HP: 2/2 Energy: 3/6
Action 1: 2 into Leadership for Angelica
HP: 2/2 Energy: 1/6
OOC: I don't think it's really going to be an issue in this game, but I'm going to be MIA for the majority of this week due to some RL issues.

Almost instinctively, Angelica rushed over to help the bloody and battered Erik. She was still fuming that the others had all run off and left him. Those spineless cowards! She couldn't believe it... or that those jerks had the nerve to actually leave her behind! If she ever saw any of them again, they were going to get seriously bitch-slapped!
All of Angelica's righteous indignation quickly evaporated - to be replaced, once again, by utter terror - when she realized that the werewolf was looking straight at her. With everyone else having already made a run for it, she was the only one left for it to go for.
She grabbed Erik, hoping to somehow drag him to safety before the werewolf came at her. Quickly realizing that wasn't going to happen, the cheerleader grabbed the first thing that came to hand - the shotgun.
Luckily, before she had to spend her last few moments among the living trying to figure out how to shoot an empty gun, she heard Steve's words of wisdom. Angelica was shocked to hear him - she thought he had run off and left her behind like the others. Feeling encouraged, she spoke urgently into Erik's ear.
"You heard him, Erik - it's not far! We just need to keep moving, you hear me? We can't stop here. We have to move!"
Standing between Erik and the bloodthirsty monster, Angelica held the shotgun at the ready. She knew it wouldn't be able to stop this awful thing... but maybe it would give Erik the time he needed to get away? Or maybe Steve would grow a pair and help them?
"Yeah, that's not gonna happen," she muttered, while fixing the werewolf with her most defiant glare, "Alright, you fugly son of a bitch! If your fat hairy ass wants to get to him, you've got to go through me first! So BRING IT ON, freak!"
As far as last words went, Angelica felt those summed her up pretty well...
============================================= Health 2/2. Energy 2/6.
Leadership 1: *Into Erik's Speed, so that he can keep heading for safety.
Close Combat 3 (with Steve's Leadership), plus whatever Weapon Modifier she can get from the shotgun: *Block any of the Werewolf's lunges and claw swipes with the shotgun, hopefully giving Erik the time he needs to get away.
Defense 3 (Close Combat), plus Shotgun Weapon Modifier. Health 2/2. Energy 0/6.

Rick catches up to Andrew and sees the laughing scarecrow with the pitchfork.
"Mal, you have one sick sense of humor, mister!" Rick says to the gaunt figure with the pitchfork.
"C'mon Andrew, reinforcements have arrived!" Rick says charging ahead of Andrew and Mal? towards Angelica, Steve and Erik.
When the werewolf looks up to discover the fast approaching RA, he shouts, "DUDE! IT'S A DELL!" Smacking the corner of his laptop into that funky gem on the hairy beast. He hopes that the metal rim of the computer's casing has at least some trace of silver in it, or is at least hard enough to shatter, chip or drive-in the jewel on ugly's chest. Action 1: 2 Stones to Speed charging at the werewolf, which also happens to be away from the scary scarecrow. These stones are also being used to combine with the Close Combat attack.
Action 2: 3 stones to Close Combat + 1 for laptop + 2 combined from Speed for a 6 stone smackdown on the were-beast's "family" jewel.
Health: 2/2 Energy: 3i/8i

"What are you doing? It's empty, run while you can!!" - Erik can't believe she is giving her life like he did before.
"Stupid stray dog!! Get me if you can!!!" - He runs away after passing in front of Angelica away from where the others went.

Rick is there...fighting the Werewolf?! Shit, man, that's heavy.
That leaves Andrew and the Scarecrow.
I hope this freak has a brain...or at least understands English.
"Umm, hi," he motions, and tries to talk to the scarecrow, to see if he understands him, "Can I go in?"
If this goes wrong...he'll probably set the f'er on fire.

The Scarecrow's laughter comes to an abrupt stop. It looks around and nods it's head. Then it digs the blunt end of the pitchfork in the ground with it's 3 sharp prongs stabbing the sky and with a sweeping arm he gives you the sign to continue on toward the abandoned building. You have the open invitation Andrew.
2 6
The werewolf lunges at Angelica. Angelica's attempt to defend herself was for not and before she could utter a word the beast's mouth ripped her throat out. Her neck crumples and her head drops, unable to stay up. Angelica falls to the ground.
OOC: I think this is another instant death. I did 11 Red Stones to Angelica. After your 4 defense 7 Red Stones gets through. That's 5 White Stones! Andrew, thank you for playing. I am sure the viewers will love your death. Please PM me with any comments and I will divulge any clues as to what you were up against. Again, thank you.
Again Erik is bathed in gore as Angelica's body falls on top of him. You are pinned.
Health 2 Red
Steve turned around to almost be knocked over by a mad Rick charging with his laptop in hand. Angelica's body falls to the ground and you know it is too late for her to catch up. The Monster's face is red with her blood and it looks upon the charging RA.
2 2
Rick charges and smashes the Laptop upon the gem. Red fragments of gem fly in small pieces and they dim as the moon dips behind the trees darkening the sky. The creature turns toward the sky hurt and momentarily distracted by the moon's departure. Even though the gem was damaged it was still pretty much whole.

And now... I run.
And run steve does. He runs toward the field where he saw Andrew go, not knowing what could be in his future. Still, it couldn't be worse than this. Well, maybe when he realizes his saxophone is back in the car it will be...

(OOC: Poor Angelica. I'm guessing these really aren't the circumstances that Erik wanted to have her on top of him...)
Oh well. This game was a lot of fun. Good luck, everybody!)

Angelica's death unleashed multiple negative emotions in Rick.
FLASHBACK PANEL!
"Faggot!" "Nerd!" "Dork!" "Looser!" "Spaz!"
Rick was pushed around, bossed around, picked on, teased and generally treated like dirt by most of his classmates throughout his young life. He was a skinny bookish kid, that was also talkative and weird. Others therefore saw him as different from themselves, and believed it would be "cool" to ridicule him.
It was not cool. Rick was very upset. He keeps this anger bottled up inside of himself, showing responsibility, intelligence and wit to the outside world. However, on the inside he really wants to strike out and hurt back the world that hurt him.
END FLASHBACK
Seeing Angelica brutally killed by the wolfman changed all that. Now the anger is on the outside. Rick is now RED RICK!!!!
Like that kid with the glasses who was the star of "A Christmas Story", Rick leaps atop his 'bully" and pounds the living bejeezus out of the wolf-creature with his laptop.
CRACK!!! CRACK!!! CRACK!!!
The computers hard casing smashes repetively against the stone on the thing's chest. Rick's eyes flow with tears, he shouts and keeps on the wolf-thing. Blocking it from the world and the moon which it seems to love so much.
"I will not give you my lunch money!!!" "I am not a fag!!!" "You are the looser! You're the f-ing loser! I hate you!! I hate you!!! I hate you!!!!!" Action 1: 3 stones to Social Skills shifted to Defense acting surprisingly aggressive as to confuse, intimidate and shock the lycanthrope into in-action.
Action 2: 3 stones to Close Combat (experience fighting bullies) + 1 Laptop Weapon + 1 Flashback smashing the werewolf's precious jewel, like "Revenge of the Nerds" on steroids. Note, the attack is also placing Rick and the laptop between the creature and the moonlight. (especially casting a shadow on the jewel, so it is not getting any moonlight)
Health: 2/2 Energy: 1i/8i Defense: 3

Erik screams as Angelica is hit by the monster, as she falls over him he quickly hugs her like if that would save her.
"That was stupid, and I making jokes about you bleeding" - he talks to the lifeless corpse before turning to the werewolf - "Can't you die stupid retarded window washer?"
Erik looks in horror as Rick runs toward the monster and start to smash it with his laptop, quite an expensive but useless weapon in his opinion.
"Run stupid, he ain't a bully!!! He won't eat your lunch, you will be his lunch"

The Scarecrow sees the charging Steve and waits until he is range sticking Steve with his pitchfork. As Steve runs in panic toward Andrew, he finds the brown, rusted fork's digging deep in his belly. OOC: The Scarecrow gets you with an 8 Stone attack. That's 6 White Stones! I believe that is another death. Brainstem, thank you for playing. Steve is the first to die by the Scarecrow. That really is special. Please Pm me with any comments and I can provide you with any revelations you wish to know. Again, thank you.The Scarecrow's cackle erupts in black fire as his crows flock and fly like mad around him. He lifts Steve in the air. The Werewolf claws at Rick, to get some distance. OOC: The Werewolf gets you with a 7 Stone attack. Your 3 in Defense dropped it down to 4 Stones, but that is still 2 White Stones. You are now like Erik, 0 Health. I will honor your last attack on the werewolf for you and you will only have the Energy remained from the attack. Good luck.The werewolf slashes Rick across the chest as Rick comes down with his mighty blow. The werewolf opens Rick's chest. Blood splatters everywhere Rick brings the laptop down upon the gem and smashing it with one titanic blow the wolf is knocked hard to the ground, unconscious. Rick collapses next to Erik stunned. Health 2 Red 1i As soon as Andrew enters the assylum. The is the most blood curdling scream he has ever heard echoing down the hall. It is a woman scream and it is quite alarming. 2 6
