Under the Library – A Call of Cthulhu Podcast
On this episode of Under the Library:
As we begin, the planning discussion continues; should they retrieve Rose from the asylum in Deadwood or first deal with pressing issues closer to home?
Having reached a consensus to release Philip from the closet, Beau unlocks the door and unties his hands as Florence offers him water. As with Quentin, Florence prefers to lead the questioning "from a position of control" as Oak Tree oversees the situation. Philip agrees to "do his best" to avoid further cannibalism, and agrees to eat salt tack whenever he has bad thoughts. He also shares more details from his harrowing experience in the portal and the visions of his wife and daughter.
Eventually, the group decides to leave Rose for now and instead try to find the boy who was stolen by the flying creatures. The plan is to ride along the train track and find the unique tree that marks the place the women and children disembarked. Then they'll follow their trail and try to find the camp, or where the birds' path intersects the trail, whichever comes first. We bring horses as well as a wagon from Seraphim Falls, and during the ride Harold fashions a sling contraption that should allow Jaker to fire his shotgun one-handed.
After about 3 hours the group arrives at the tree and Beau spots a well traveled trail of foot, hoof, and cart tracks. As we end, Florence has spotted a strange mound near the trail that resembles a grave.
