Nan takes a deep breath and sits on the bed, trying to calm herself. Pablo sits as well. He places the FIRE AXE on the bedside dresser, evidently having noticed Nan's worried looks at it. He assures her he would never use it on a person.

Okay, calm down a bit Nan. It looks like he is right; it's not following you into the room. Given how quickly it took out the front door, it would easily be able to get into the room if the lights weren't keeping it out.

Right. Mission One, find portable non-electric light.

I recommend finding out if that lamp has an outlet. If so, you can probably start a spark by cannabalizing some wire, using the shower rod as a base, then wrapping up some towels around where you want a handle and the tip, then dipping the tip in some flammable chemical under the sink.

If one of those aren't possible, or if the idea is fundamentally flawed, at least try to arm yourself. Detach the shower rod, ask Pablo to axe it to a point, something.

Nan asks Pablo how long he's been here, and what the date and time are.

He says he doesn't know how long he's been here -- maybe seven or eight days. He says when he came here, it was the 14th of October, and when Nan arrived it was the 24th, so he's been here for ten days.
Pablo shrugs at her response. He says it's hard to keep track of time in this place.

Before Nan can question more about the rathole, Pablo asks her if she's hungry.
Nan's still feeling sated from the pizza this morning.

Nan says she's not hungry now, but it would be good to have something for later. Or at least know where she could get food around here.

Pablo stands, nodding. He says he is going to go to the Janitor's closet and see if there's any canned food left there. That's what he's been eating since he got here.
But it's dangerous, and he asks Nan to wait here. She'll be safe.

Nan asks about Pablo, wanting to take the opportunity to learn what she can. Pablo says he was told to come in as the janitor here -- thus, why he has the key to the closet. But he didn't even get to meet the manager before he found himself trapped here, just like Nan.

Nan asks about the Padre, how he knows its name.
Pablo says that thing may not have a name. It's some... thing that's dressed up like a Padre, so that's what he calls it. And it's not usually the type to leave.
He says in his time here he's also seen a few other beings that stood out from uninvited husks, those knotted masses of blackened flesh. He picked up the names from Alan, another he found trapped here, who had been here far longer.
There's something... a man in a black robe. Alan called it the Pilgrim. And something he always called the Beast -- but Pablo says he never saw it.

Nan ponders quietly a moment and shows Pablo the cross-shaped pendant and alarm clock, but they mean nothing to Pablo.

Finally, she asks if he's tried breaking a window to escape.
He says yes, the first thing everyone tries is to go out the doors and windows. But they'll always just end up back in the hotel. The only windows that lead anywhere are the ones that open to the courtyard, and Alan said that's where the Beast sleeps.

Bad Idea = Messing with the mirror.

Also, perhaps the Padre left you alone because you showed true courage while defending Nan and Henry. Perhaps the Padre feeds on your fear.

Maybe Henry was trying to find Nan, used the lamp to see, but the Padre attacked him, he freaked out and dropped it, and then you came out.
>>
No. 166917 ID: 401d19

Maybe that cross pendant warded the Padre away? Anyway in this brief respite you should do two important things.

1: Describe the shadow that chased you before, maybe it's one of the 'others' and Pablo knows details about it? If not, it's best to warn him of its existence.
2: More importantly, ask if Pablo's had any weird 'visions' or 'fantasy scenes' like ours when we woke up in bed with Henry. We need to know if this comes with the hotel or if there's a special factor at work.

Also while you shouldn't distrust him, Henry didn't seem to be a victim of the hotel the way you and Pablo are. Between that and the issue with his mirror image, there might be more going on with him than meets the eye. Even if he doesn't realize it himself. If nothing else keep him away from mirrors for everyone's sake.

Nan doesn't have her usual tools. They were lost along with her flashlight when she re-entered the hotel.

Nan's not particularly hungry, but Pablo says he is. He hasn't eaten in two days or more, by his count, though again he admits he has a poor grasp of how time passes here.

On that note, Nan asks if Pablo has any plans for escape. He says he's given it some thought but has been busy enough just trying to stay alive that he doesn't have a plan yet. All he knows is the front door is out of the question.

If the only 'outside' location is the courtyard, then that's the most obvious place to go. Unfortunately, 'The Beast' is out there, and probably more than capable of murdering us.
In that case, maybe we'll be able to find something in the hotel that could kill/distract/lead away/protect us from The Beast. And failing that, we may be able to find some other way out in the attempt.

Check to see if the door opens OUTWARD, and if it does then flee the room.
If not, then stay low to the ground to avoid the smoke. Wedge the axe blade in between the door and the board near the nails, then use the handle as leverage to pry the board off. Much faster, much less effort required.

There seems to be something strange about that board. Give the knobs a jiggle.
>>
No. 171136 ID: b7aca4

Get down on the ground - there is more oxygen left the lower you are.

Focus on wedging and prying the last board rather than hacking. You don't want to accidentally hit yourself on the head with the axe, after all.

Nan wraps a cloth napkin over her mouth to filter the smoke and keeps low, and lacking the room to swing instead pries the old, damaged board off the door.

The door is slammed shut on Nan's face just as she realizes her situation. She wheels around, axe readied, but whoever -- or whatever -- stands behind her grabs the handle firmly.

It stands before her, so close she can feel its ragged, uneven breath. But in the dense smoke, it's hard to make out the figure exactly.

It says nothing. It merely raises a clawed hand.

Nan spins around, avoiding a swift raking claw from the horrible figure. But when she makes to wrench the axe away, the figure responds in kind and with surprising strength sends it clattering across the floor.

Apparently, it brought a weapon of its own.

The next few seconds are a frantic, jumbled blur.
The figure swings, and Nan ducks narrowly. The fire poker splinters through the door and gets stuck, giving Nan an opening.
She charges into the preoccupied figure and with a desperate headbutt sends it staggering back.

It doesn't seem injured, but it's bought her a moment of precious time.

Nan throws the axe at the figure in a last-ditch attempt to slow it down, but the gesture is hardly effective.

Given the thing's reaction to fire, Nan puts aside any thought of fighting it and bursts from the room, re-entering the HOTEL LOBBY. Black smoke pours from the doors.

Up ahead, she can just make out someone moving down the hall away from her.
