Our investigators, delved into the histories of the Chapel of Contemplation and one Mr. Walter Corbit. Uncovered some some terrible truths and delved, perhaps a little too greedily, into the secrets of the Mythos.

As the investigators stood on the side walk, pondering their next detination, a large group of people begin to gather around chappel of contemplation. First a few, then a few dozen and before long the investigators were lost in a sea of burning torches and even the occassional pitchfork.

The investigators kept themselves poised, watching the crowd with an uneasy eye until Mr. Dooley made his way through the crowd with a Fire Marshall in tow.

As the flames of the Chapel of Contemplation streak across the eyes of the crowd, the investigators used this convenient distraction to eek their way to the back of the pressing throng. Extricating themselves and making their way to Corbitt House.

In the forboding presence of the house the investigators decided that with eyes elsewhere this would be a good time to to expore the house further. With all of the party in tow, Jack went to knock on the door, and with his first trike of the brass eye shaped knocker, the door creaked open.

The crew took their time as they enter the narrow corridor of the house, inching forward covering each other with military precision. That was until they were called from outside by a police officer.

When asked what they were doing, Frank was quick to point out that they were afraid that someone was trapped upstairs…and that he was looking for his gun.

It’s a nice gun, so nice you’d want it if you saw it.

— Frank Ritter

As they were ushered from the premesis, Dr Callhan felt a presence drawing him further into the house. Wheras the police officer, whilst looking around upstairs, returned hurried to the foyer and announcing that the house was to be shuttered.

With the increased police presence at the house, the investigators took the time to seek out the last owners of Corbitt House the Mancario family, specifically the only surviving parent. Vincent Mancario committed at Roxbury sanitarium.

Upon passing through the rusty gates of the sanitarium, the investigators met with the attending alienist, one Dr. Price. The peculiur Dr. Price is well known as being quite progressive in his treatments, having had some succes in treating those most extreme of cases. He was pressed fro time, having had taken on more patients of recent years.

Despite his charming demeanour, Jack was not convinced that the doctor was on the up and up and wanted to poke around the good doctor’s office for more info.

Whilst the others went to visit Vincent, Jack tried to ease the lock to the office, not having much luck he pushed his luck but broke his favourite set of picks in the lock, leaving a sure sign that that someone was there.

Oh you must send me some information on this, Rosenthrall technique.

— Dr. Callahan to Dr. Price

Dr Callahan and Dr. Price struk up a converastion about all those that he had helped, especially those who had…encounters. Though Dr. Price wouldn’t elaborate further.

Whilst this was happening, Frank, Elliot, and Igor were talking with Vincent but he seems to be quoting scripture for the investigators.

Thinking that there was more to all this talk, Frank had a flash of inspiration. Grathering a white curtain, fashining it into a robe, grabbing a golden curtain rod, and the closest chef’s hat, Frank made his best Holy Father impersonation.

‘Does he always act like this?’

‘All the time’

— Dr Price to Jack Little

Perhaps it was all the staring into the Sun but Vincent wasn’t able to recognise Frank as his divine father. Frank tried to use this to his advangate to sneak a peak at Vincent’s bible but with everyone looking on he wasn’t able to make it happen.

It was at this point that, drifting in and out of focus, Vincent cried out one final quote in anguish before, exhausted by his effort, he slumps into his chair and withdraws completely.

He who bulds his house on sand is forever cursed, by his own hand, he will be worsened.

— Vincent Mancario

Of all the passages he had quoted til this point, none of the investigators were aware of any scriptures that used that particular verse.

Feeling none the wiser about what awaited them, the investigators used the remaineder of their day to visit the city council to find the building plans of Corbitt House. Nothing struck them as immediately out of the ordinary, but the unusual small size of the baement had the investigators theorising a few possible scenarios.

But why would someone want to be burried in their house?

— Blake Elliot

That night Dr. Callahan became curious about why specifically his statchel had been weighing him down inside the house whereupon closer inspection, he discovered that he caried the Liber Ivonis. A rare occult tome that would require some futher study to fully comprehend.

The next day at daybreak, feeling emboldened in their recent experiences, the investigators made their way back to Corbitt house, breaking through the hastily strung police tape and began exploring the house anew.

Whilst exploring the house, the investigators began to have a growing sense of unease as more and more unusual phenomena occured. Odd smells, sights, and flying furniture all assaulted the investigators, and in the case of Jack, Dr. Callahan, and Frank a catapulting bed further enforced the case for the haunting of Corbitt House.

Making their way to the basement, the investigators set about to test their theories but the precaious stairs, seemingly of a mind of their own, made the downwards journey faster than the investigators would have cared for, causing some damage.

Groping in the dim light, Frank came across an ornate dagger, and thinking this would be a perfect opportunity to test his occular reflexes, he pulled it close to his ear. It was at this point that the knife began to twist in his hand before it was thrown accross the room.

Just as the knife began to rise, being briefly illuminated by the swinging globe suspended from the ceiling, all the lights in the house became dark, and the investigators heard a scratching from within the walls.
