We have a cursed painting now?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Well&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pretty sure it wasn&#8217;t licensed by the state to kill people.  Maybe the snake was acting in self-defense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I got a job!  Where all the foreigners went missing!  I&#8217;m undercover.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Part of my plan will be to meet her when her shift is over, to walk her through the murder streets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We PAID for it.  I remember how badly he failed the roll.  We own that cab.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So somewhere between fine and catastrophic failure?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You remember a dream you had recently &#8211; &#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Not that one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The best part about Mythos skill is that you never get what you want.  It&#8217;s always worse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Found: one magic painting.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Slightly charcoaled.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you lock yourself inside a bathroom, you&#8217;re a dope.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You succeeded at a roll!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I know!  I don&#8217;t know how to feel!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I hardly know you anymore!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mystery solved!  We close the door and walk away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He probably came in here looking for warmth and got tangled up in a rope.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;He probably tripped and fell into that gag.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So this is Schroedinger&#8217;s Will?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it&#8217;s an impale.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Well, yes, it&#8217;s a spear.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Shoggoth twines around your spear and flicks it away.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;You can have it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This would be the point for the, &#8216;what the fuck just happened?&#8217; look.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How do you feel about things that skirt the law?  It&#8217;s things that are scientific that the laws haven&#8217;t quite caught up with yet&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m afraid to ask this, but does that jog anything in my brain?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;That is locked so far inside your little grey matter that he could walk up and introduce himself and you wouldn&#8217;t know him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would chastise you right now, except you&#8217;re completely right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;d better pull this out, because if he punches me again, I&#8217;m going to shoot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never shot any of us&#8230; in this game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know who I&#8217;m going to get.  I go out to the next room and get the shovel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;Why are we taking the shovel?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;That seems like a fine thing to grab.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Aside from being beaten, drugged, and left in a coal closet, does he look much like he did yesterday&#8230;?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think you hit him a little too hard.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Oh, I hit him plenty hard enough at the time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You took this job to figure out the mystery.  Good job.  Get in the cab.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;You have no candy&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Uh&#8230; hopefully I&#8217;ll live through this and come back to get you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There will be no money, but on your deathbed, there will be total enlightenment.  That&#8217;s&#8230; coming right up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I honestly don&#8217;t know if they&#8217;re there or not.  This is Schroedinger&#8217;s group.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to create his own little padded cell.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This has been a really long day.  It&#8217;s lasted three weeks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;ll show up eventually.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Except for the horrible death part.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;There was no horrible death.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;This time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We rescued him, only to hold him captive&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have already driven across the English countryside and beaten a man near to death with a shovel.  I don&#8217;t know what you were doing, but I&#8217;ve had a busy day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We haven&#8217;t gotten him a doctor, but we&#8217;ve put him in a bathtub.  It&#8217;s a step up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe our communication is separated by a common language&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When was the last time you examined a man who had beaten near to death with a shovel?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I think you know that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s completely untrue that I only call you when someone has been beaten near to death with a shovel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s likely.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I think you&#8217;re foolish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Somehow I untook the picture!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;&#8216;I&#8217;ve gotta go file the cabinet&#8230;&#8217; &#8216;What?&#8217; &#8216;I&#8217;m bad at innuendos.&#8217;&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[27],"class_list":["post-808","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-call-of-cthulhu-7th-edition","tag-masks-of-nyarlathotep","wpcat-26-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=808"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":809,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808\/revisions\/809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=808"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.emeraldsilver.com\/gamequotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
