Sometimes, the best way to tell a story in a setting is to subvert the expected story arc and replace it with something new. Sure, the usual expectation for a story in the Call of Cthulhu is it ends in at best a tragic victory, but sometimes, a genuine triumph or”Humanity! Fuck yeah!” is a change of pace that greater underscores future dangers.
Honestly, the previous sessions have gone fairly well. The first was perhaps the darkest, where the Garden Society clearly ended up worse than it started (one of their members turned to insanity, their home blown up), but even then they put a firm stop to what was happening. The second session, although a number of deaths, set several souls at peace and sealed a serious evil away.
I don’t care that it probably did nothing to it, hiting an eldrich abomination in the face mid monologue takes guts. Heck even from a player perspective, this is call of cathulu, you do not hit the eldrich monsters son much as deal with the insane humans while avoiding (and trying not to go insane from) the abominations and he desided “screw it, it hit it with my stick” right out the gate

These pages are so, so very good.
The hover text should be a Chastity Valor title too
Wait, does this mean that Sam’s CoC character might actually survive this session? What?
I may need to lay down for a moment.
AS I SAID, THE POWER OF LAW BITCH!!!
My immediate response was… and I quote…
“F*&$ yeah, Carlisle!” With copious arm waving. XD
Looooooove this page.
“Hey, what’s that on your face?”
*shovel full of dirt hits face*
IT WAS PAIN
Good, bad… Brian’s the one with the pen.
” *shovel full of dirt hits face* ”
…. with, of course, the shovel still in it. Right? 😀
Yes!!! I was kind of waiting for “I am the LAW!” reference.
“UNDERSTAND THIS!”
That’s what it gets for monologueing.
Called Shot, nat 20.
Okay, for some people, a stick gets the job done!
YAAAS, BETTY JEAN. SLAY!
Great shot!
Too bad all it probably did was make her mad.
The Rincewind Rule: If you keep hitting something, it might not get a chance to hit you back.
I’m pretty sure that she was already quite, quite mad…
(Pun very much intended!)
Standard police procedure in the 1920’s.
Against a creepy witch that crawled out of the vomit bile of a friend in anguish? Yep. All day.
Okay everyone, all together now:
DAAAAANG!
As cool as this is, remember what setting they are in. I hope the ladys can handle it this time.

This. So right.

It should be noted I don’t actually know a lot about CoC, so I could be mistaken
BAD
ASS.
Also, Cthulu forgot the Evil Overlord rules.
“Excuse me, you seem to have an abundance of I SUCK on your face. Here, allow me to WIPE IT OFF!”
Bash! Goes Betty Jean
Betty Jean does not mince words. She minces *face* !
GET IT GIRL!
I like her.
Wrong answer, motherfucker.
To quote the late Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, “This is why God made shotguns…”
You’re not wrong.
