Feel around for the wall so you can reorientate yourself in case you need to run.

FLAIL, FIND A WALL, FOLLOW IT, RUN LIKE HELL.

Preferably with the flailing oh god there are monsters everywhere run run what are you waiting for oh god damnit run goat run

This is going to be asked in a second anyway, so check your pockets/inventory

Oh my goodness yes.
Find a wall, TAKE A MOMENT TO ORIENT YOURSELF. No point running away from where we want to go. Move quickly to the elevator door and SLAM THAT CALL BUTTON AS HARD AS YOU CAN JESUS.

Try to find a wall, then follow it.

Try not to make too much noise, lest you alert the Beast.

Nan stands up and begins feeling along the wall. She rechecks her inventory, to find:
BALLPOINT PEN
PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWDRIVER
MAGNIFYING GLASS
And a CHECK for services rendered at the Fun Family Arcade.

It appears her CROSS PENDANT is still missing.

Im thinking you should ready the screwdriver, since its the closest thing you have to a weapon.

Continue walking along the wall.

EQUIP SCREWDRIVER in case of hostiles.

Nan continues along the wall, and finds something that feels like a button.

>>300714
Push butan

Receive scary

Don't push button yet. Feel AROUND the button. Is there a rectangular plate around it, like an elevator button? Metal? Plastic?

Check to see what kind of button it is. THEN recieve scary. :D

Nan presses the button.
The elevator doors open.

Kim screams, then sighs in relief, lowering her taser.
It's just Nan, after all.

Hug them both in relief.

>>300727
GETTINTHERE

hug Kim
Fist bump Anderson
Tell them about Anne

Tell them what happened after you fell asleep.

Wait, we might want to make sure it's actually them before we go clinging on to them. You never know in this place.

Head in elevator

Hug everyone

Tell everyone Anna got mauled

>>300727
Hugs all around! Then ask what the hell happened. Where they went, if they know Anna's dead, so on.

You know what, take that rug on the floor. You'll never know when you'll need something with which to beat a fire out with, throw over a barbed wire fence, or to distract a monster with.

Nan steps into the elevator and delivers the grim news about Anna's fate. Evidently Anderson and Kim were not aware, and Kim gasps in tragic realization.

Anderson seems angry. He says this is why they slept in shifts. Who was Anna staying up with?

Oh, no. It was Pablo. Have you guys seen him?

God damn it Pablo...

Ask them what went on with them since you last saw them. Did they wake up together or did they have to find each other? And grab that rug. It's yours by blood right.

Pablo. Pablo had the shift with Anna.

After they woke up Anna and Pablo for their shift, they took a short nap, then headed out to look for Santiago.

Kim groans. That means Pablo could be dead too.

Anderson says that's definitely one possibility.

So the two of them left the safehouse together and this is the first they've heard that things have gone wrong? How long has it been, for them?

>>300747
Also take the rug.

Ask what the hell is going on. How did we suddenly wind up somewhere else? Is this whole place in some kind of space-time fractal?

I love talking about space-time shenanigans as much as anyone else, but unless we're professional physicists in that area, we should focus on surviving the weird space-time hotel of horror then understanding it.

Close the fucking doors and let's get to another floor.

suddenly I'm a lot less sure about pabalo...

Nan asks if anyone understands what's going on, and how she suddenly wound up somewhere else.
Kim asks where exactly it was she wound up.

The lights come back on with a quiet hum.

What's is place look like?

WE'RE ASKING THE QUESTIONS HERE.
I don't think we should mention Santiago.
I still think we should take the rug.

>>300777
Dangit Nan get off that rug. Take the ruuuug.
We had a weird nightmare. Pablo was in it. We woke up, then say the Pilgrim, then met Santiago. Now we're here. Ask what THEY did in the intervening time.

Hang on, why exactly did they go out to look for Santiago? Methinks it's time everyone had a bit of a sitdown to discuss exactly what's been going on since our little side trip.

>>300777
Vaguely describe your dream. Both of them, why not.

>>300777
Get the dickens back in the elevator and back to the saferoom already. Stop standing around yammering in places where the lights crap out randomly and the Things go.

>>300777
Let's see if we can at least fine Anna's body again. I'm not actually sure if it's worse if we can or not.

>>300809
I get the feeling that if we go looking for the dead, we won't like what we end up finding. Anyway, Anna didn't have anything important on her, so no reason to wander around without purpose.

Nan explains her dreams, which brought her to a strange place where she saw Pablo, then to the TERRA COTTA COURTYARD.
Kim's face seems to darken at the discussion of Pablo's behavior, but comforts Nan. It was just a dream, after all.
Anderson says nothing.

Nan explains her ordeal after waking up, how she was chased and led around. Kim asks what part of that constitutes a "space-time" oddity, if she just moved around.

Finally, Nan suggests they take the elevator back to the safe room. Anderson replies that the safe room is on the third floor. Where they already are.
He studies Nan quietly, then asks if she's sure she's all right.

>>300815
We're alright, Anderson. Just more than a little unsettled. Ask where Henry is. Let's just get back to the safe room and take a deep breath, okay?

>>300777
Don't let yourselves get lulled into a false sense of security just because the lights are on. Those things can go out at any time. Warn them about the Pilgrim.

Also, ask Anderson if in his time there was any trace of a former spanish monastery around the Hotel. Maybe it was only torn completely down right before construction on the hotel began.

Admit you have little knowledge of where you are or what's been going on. You've been asleep, after all. Did they FIND anything during their search for Santiago?

>>300815


Be advised, I think Anderson doesn't trust us.

>>300821
I think he thinks we're getting a tad hysterical. He's from around the early 20th century, he probably think all dames melt in the face of danger.

>>300815

HNNNNNGH NANQUEST UPDATE YES...

Ask Anderson what happened to Henry and why they decided to leave poor Nan alone in the saferoom ;_;

yay nanquest, dont give up weaver =3

is there any indicative you really are on the 3rd floor? door number maybe?

well, we should head to saferoom anyway.

NANQUEST YES!!111!111!11one11!!1one!!eleven

Apologize and say you weren't aware because you were too busy being blindly running away from the Pilgrim and other various monsters.

>Santiago has run off, taking the lantern with him, leaving Nan in the darkness of the third floor hall, just outside the Sunset Room.

Whoops. :(

>>300815
...yeah, we didn't really move around due to the 'dreams' this time did we? Did you tell them about getting sent into the burning room?

Nan considers her situation. Perhaps she's a little confused. She was being chased by the Pilgrim, she must have just gotten turned around.

Anna was here, she's sure of it.
But now the hallway's empty.

Nan asks if there used to be a Spanish Mission here. Anderson says there was. When he was a boy, its ruins were here. Burnt to the ground some time ago. Cleared out years later, in preparation for the hotel.

We'd better not stand around here too long. Let's head back to the saferoom.

>>300841
Ask why it got burnt down, on the way to the room.

>>300841
nothin we dont already know, besides the burning down bit. Time to either head back to saferoom or check the floor for our friends.

Return to the safehouse.

Ask Kim if anything cool or notable has happened since 2009 for possible minor small talk.

>>300841
Point out where Anna died. Lament that you didn't grab her hat for evidence.

Also: Survival requires understanding. Lets research the FUCK out of this place.

Become obsessively possessive about your possessions.

Write your name on all the tags.

The door to 311 is slightly aja-*shot*

When stating the area where Anna died note aloud the fact that there is no blood on the walls.

Nan asks why it was burnt down. Anderson says he doesn't know. It happened before he was born.

Nan returns to the SAFE ROOM.

If I had to guess, I'd say Pablo's been obsessing a bit.

What's with the lines on the wall? Those weren't there before, were they?

Move the bed, see what's behind it.

Okay, so now Pablo is a Prime Suspect.

We STILL need to find a way out of this dang hotel, though.

In the meanwhile, examine the wording.

>>300882
Possible credence to Anna's idea?

Quick, check the tub! Hopefully Pablo isn't in there (maybe he saw what happened?)

Check for unwanted visitors.

>>300882
Thank you, mysterious failure. Your words mean so much when people are dying and going missing.

Nan: Go to the mirror. See if your mirror self is there. If she is, then drag her out and beat her until answers come out.
Other than that, ask if anybody has ideas on what to do next.
If not, then go to the front door and try to open it but do NOT step through. We need to see what the others see when it's open. If you encounter yourself or one of the others, grab them and take them with you. If it's Anna, then kiss her and make her promise not to die on you again.

>>300882


Just as an aside, ask Anderson when he was born. It might ne nice to just know how old we all are (of course, if you want to leave it ambiguous then by all means ignore the shit out this. I've already contributed to a Weaver-quest today, and in doing so, my life is a tiny bit more complete)

>>300882
Hug Anderson

Read note

>>300882
Ask when the note showed up. No hugging

Study the markings on the wall. Are those scratches clawmarks?

There doesn't appear to be any more to the note. The markings on the room haven't changed from the last time -- faint ashy trails leading up the walls.

Nan checks the bathroom, but it's empty. No one else is here.

BEHIND YOU

LOOK BEHIND YOU

Check the mirror!

Check mirror.

Failing any strange activity, Return to Kim and Anderson and ask what they have been doing and what is their next move.

Make sure bedroom door is closed and locked. I assume so, but it wasn't mentioned.

Okay, let's inventory our situation. We're missing Pablo, Anna's dead, Santiago's batshit crazy. Where's Henry again?

>>300933

Henry's been missing ever since Nan woke up to Anna being mutilated by Pilgrim.

Should we go find him? It's not like there's anything better to do.

>>300935

On one hand, I think that we can't afford to lose anyone else. On the other hand, our rescue missions haven't exactly gone swimmingly so far. But I'm not sure what else we can do at this point. And there's clearly a connection between Nan and Henry, since they've been sharing dreams and have similar (the same?) pendant.

>>300936

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think we need to do a Pablo/Henry rescue mission. Mostly a Henry rescue mission, because based on the scrawled message and Nan's dream(?) of Pablo's whole "I'm sorry baby I won't kill you this time" episode, I've got a bad feeling about Pablo.

Check mirror, if nothing happens then organize a search party of some kind. Make sure that the search party consists of everyone too, the last thing we need is to split up and have more people to find later.

>>300935
Oh crap... you're right. These rooms don't have phones, do they? We need to find a way to communicate with people in some manner.

... then again, didn't we first meet him on the 1st floor? Maybe when everyone got separated, he wandered back there. It'd at least be familiar.

>>300924
check mirror, assuming we dont get warped to some parallel version of ourselves in the process; consult anderson on plan of action.

If we're going to stage a rescue, we're going to need a few things:

1) A plan. This not only includes where we're going to look for Henry (and maybe Pablo), but also what we will do if we're split up and proper procedure for sticking together when the lights die.

2) Weapons. Nan lost the Rebar sword already. Looks like Kim has a taser, Anderson has his gun, but Nan's defenseless currently. The broken glass from the mirror could possibly be cobbled into a makeshift spear if we take down the shower rod or break some wood off the bed, if we can find some tape or something to bind them together.

3) Contingency plan on what to do if Santiago shows up acting psycho. Frankly, I'm inclined to say that Santiago is going to be more of a liability than he's worth. I know Nan isn't the "kill in cold blood" type, but this burgeoning attempt at a friendship at him seems like a poor idea. He can't be trusted, and I sincerely doubt he can be redeemed. No more handing him our limbs without having a backup plan for self-defense.

>>300782

I'd like us to readdress this point, too. Why were the two of them out looking for Santiago?

One more alternate option and then I'll stop spamming the thread: there's still the "4:66" mystery. My immediate instinct is that's a room number. I know the hotel only has three floors, but I think the number's there for a reason. Is there a way onto the roof?

>>300924

>>300964 has a point. Try to remove the curtain-rod-thingie. It's probably hollow and light, but it's better than a screwdriver.
Them return to the room and move the bed to see where the ash trails stem from.
And don't look in the mirror, seriously. The last thing we need is another paranormal event that takes us on yet another flashback/dream.



>>300990
Please try to leave comments only concerning our current situation. 4:66 theories go to the discussion thread.

>>300991
It seems so far whenever we encounter a paranormal event, it is nan's insofar violent response to these events which trigger a flashback/dream/timetravel experience. So long as we dont do anything rash and Nan applies herself passively to such events, we should be fine.

>>300924
Up the walls? Look at the ceiling.

>>300991

To clarify, I wasn't just bringing up the whole "4:66" thing simply for theoretical purposes. I bring it up now, specifically, because we're currently at a "what general goal should we pursue" point. As an alternative to a rescue mission, we could attempt to find a 4th floor (hey, this place isn't exactly full of Euclidean geometry) or roof and try to figure out if that's where we're supposed to be going. So it wasn't meant to be a "let's bring up every haywire theory" mention of 4:66, but rather a "Hey, instead of a rescue mission, here's another idea" mention.

That said, I still think finding Henry is probably the better priority. My guess is we'll run into Pablo and be unhappy with what we find.

>>300924

Check inside the toilet tank. Maybe someone hid something useful in there.

>>300991
What's wrong with a screwdriver as a weapon? Hobos and crackheads and the like use them all the time.

>>301017

Using the screwdriver would require getting uncomfortably close to things. It'd work as a backup, but I doubt we'd last long with it as our primary weapon of choice.

Where'd the totem go? Guess it disappeared when we did our sleep-traveling. Nan needs to start duct-taping her equipment to herself or something.

Take down the SHOWER CURTAIN and use it as a makeshift CLUB.

>>301069
Seconding taking the SHOWER CURTAIN ROD. Even if it can't be used as a club, I'm sure it'll have some use.

If you can't remove it, ask Anderson to help.

One: take the curtain rod. You could use it as a weapon or combine it with a shard of mirror.
Two: take a shard of mirror. Be careful when holding it!
three: Take the rings on the curtain rod. Maybe you could wear them as bracelets.
four: Look behing you and wave at your reflection.

>>301406
pffftt

then we'd just be arming our evil mirror self with weapons

Tie some kind of cloth around one of your eyes. Then when it goes dark you can switch the cloth over to your other eye for INSTANT NIGHT-VISION.

>>301406
Step 5: cannibalize all wooden furniture in the room then combine wood to form ARMOR OF ARMOIRE. This thing can stop a missle!

Seconding Termina's suggestion. I [his?] order.

Sorry to double post but I didn't mean to use red text like that. I'm kinda new to the posting thing, and didn't know it by default said suggestion at the top. Feel free to delete this if you wish but please don't ban me or anything.

>>301465
I'm a girl.
And don't worry about the red text.

ask anderson for his watch, change the time to 6 minute past 5 (4:66), see if that does anything
