Description
Found in bed in the smaller of the two rooms of a house in the mining village. She is fairly still, but her eyes are wild. A spluttering cough from the bedroom is what drew Doctor Webb in.
She grabbed Doctor Webb's wrist as he approached.
Notes
- Her house had its windows boarded up, with a wheelbarrow and metal equipment propped against the entrances. The house has two rooms — a main room and a smaller bedroom
- Her child was outside, alone, and told the party that their mother is sick
- She grabbed Webb's wrist and said, desperately, "Get them out."
- An outline of a creature appeared under the skin of her cheek. It crawled inside, then emerged from her open mouth and burrowed into her neck
Open Thread
What is inside her, how many are there, and can Doctor Webb do anything about it? The session ended on this moment.
Open Thread
Who barricaded the house — and were they keeping something out, or her in?
