Todd's right eye is missing, the empty socket weeping a slow curtain of poisonous bile.

His other is.... honestly not an improvement.

FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T LET UP.
AND GET ON THAT GODDAMN RADIO AND CALL FOR SOME BACKUP.

>>523236
Parry the incoming strike and give Beth an opening to use that spray.

Well, this quest is goddamn terrifying.

I say follow up with mace, try to keep your and if you get an opening try to break the arm holding the tire iron, if he doesn't react to the mace then try to keep your distance. Hopefully the kid can get down from the roof quickly enough to provide support in the next few seconds.

Go for the W!

Wait. Um. What is he doing? He wasn't phased by the attack, really. And something terrible has already happened to him. But what is he trying to do now? I mean, is he even resisting?

Get distance between you, and have the EMT call for support. The mace may not do anything, and I'm not sure we want to go all in on doing as much physical damage as possible just yet. We don't want to be arrested.

ok now try and get around him so if you need to make a run for it you're not boxed in and where is Jeff?

Todd opens his mouth. What comes out can't be called a word, a laugh, a scream. Its is as if madness itself had a sound.

For one instant you are in direct control of BOTH Dale and Beth. Who acts and how?

>>523279
I kinda want to have Dale throw the book at him just to see what happens. The other (and more likely to succeed) option is to have him chuck/shove one of the vials of leeches at his face/missing eye. They've shown that they will eat whatever he's leaking ravenously. Beth has the crowbar, so the only question is if she is the distraction or the main attack. (distraction is better in my mind)

Man down, we have a man down!
One of you should attract his attention,
While the other either belts him on the head,
Or finds some bricks or bottles to fling.
And by the nine,
DO NOT LET HIM GET CLOSE!

>>523281
...a leech in the eye socket is a really interesting idea, actually.

>>523282
Dude, stop using the subject field to suggest.

...the leech devoured the goo. I wonder what happens if a leech were to attach itself to Todd. LET'S FIND OUT.

Dont throw the book! Maybe that's what it wants!
Beth, get out of striking range. You're injured and no good. Radio for help, then try to sneak in behind him while he's distracted by Dale.

Dale, I dont know what you should do!

I do have a suggestion for at least Beth
go for the legs with that crowbar, kneecaps priority
If he goes down, that gives Dale the opportunity to just pour a leech straight into his eye. Not that he shouldn't try if she can't get the beast to go down.

Okay, kids got a broken arm and is likely knocked out, Beth is will only be a distraction with one arm if she tries to fight........fug it, lets go with Beth stays just out of reach with the crowbar and Dale comes up behind and attempts to insert leech into the socket.....hopefully this cripples the....thing rather than killing Todd.

Beth- grab the crowbar and just try to get his attention more then anything but if you can land a clean blow in here or there don't hesitate again.

Dale- you saw what happened when one of those leaches was given just a bit of the black crap what do you think would happen if you got one on the guy proper or better yet in his eye socket.

Also when you two get a minute how's Jeff?

He's inhumanly fast, but dude's only got two arms (I hope).

Beth, one-hand throw the crowbar, scrabble away, dragging Jeff along with you with your good arm.

Dale, grab an item in each hand, throw the cocaine pack, then throw a leech. Try to aim for the sanity-shattering growly mouth-hole. Pray this works, snatch your stuff, start running.

Why did you even stay behind here?

Coming from Todd's blind side, the crowbar shatters his kneecap before he can react.

While the attacker is off balance, Dale closes the distance-

END OF CHAPTER 2.

Holy crap that worked? We actually saved someone from possession without killing them? Wow. We're gonna need more leeches.

...and he's gonna need some serious medical care with the broken knee and hole in his dead. And someone's gonna have to get the leech out.

Yes! That went perfectly! We now have 2 leeches and an opponent that knows how we disabled him. This will definitely not be this easy again.
We should keep one of the leeches in a steel bottle (no shattering/crushing the bottle) after this; to save for the final battle vs the librarian.

Since the book and the leeches came from the same place, it's probably a good idea to try to remember where the fuck they came from.

Wait, you see, what we need is a GIANT LEECH.

>>523480
We should be careful here. We don't know whether removing the leech is safe, so we should wait until he's securely restrained.

what if there is a leech in your head wound?

Uh, yeah, what happens to the leech? Does Todd just have a leech squirmin' behind his eyeball now?

next on our to do list find some more of those damn leaches... after we see how Jeff and Todd are doing.

OO That worked!?!

He's pretty calm for someone missing an eye, think he might be in shock right now?
