SAVE THE GIRL, LEECH HER WOUND.

Jeff uh, why are you working retail? YOU SHOULD BE FRONT LINE TACTICAL OPS OK realistically that was probably luck, but still. Nice shot!

>>533703
Well if they removed the leech from Todd, it's fine for it to be removed. Which means eventually Dale could get his taken out.

>>533708
except rad keeps going after dale. without the leech he would be much easier prey.

taz her, and then leech her. Also you work here so do you know where they keep other leeches for medical purposes around here as I think we're running low on the things?

Oh god I hope they are a hospital that uses leeches for something. Would be a big help if just any leech would work.

Although Dale might have had some special ones with him.

Jeff is OSS Level marksman!
Anyway, Taze, insert leech, restrain.

>>533708
Dale's is directly on his brain, though, and I doubt the leech'll let go so easy if it's been happily to hang out in there this long. might do more damage than it's worth to remove it.

Either way, leech her.

>>533693
Looks like you want to be dropping that leech on the back of her neck like a mischevious schoolboy.

You lunge forward and light up Dr. Slate with your taser, sending her limbs convulsing.

Whatever force is controlling her, it fights against the doctor's spasming muscles. It pulls away from you using sheer willpower.

Mary grasps and scrapes at her neck as the leech pushes itself deep within the wound left by Radula. The voice inside your head screams in revulsion...

...and then fades.

Jeeze. I hope nothing happens to anyone else, because you're fresh out of leeches.

...Mary? You okay?

so now that we did that, how are we going to convince the cop that she was being controlled by an eldritch monster, Oh and we still need to find Dale.

I think at this point we should be very glad Mary doesn't remember anything from when she was being controlled. If she does, though, she is probably gonna need a shoulder to cry on. Also, medical attention. That wound is in a very sensitive place! You do NOT want to get a spinal infection!

Know anywhere nearby you can get some bandages? A clean room you can treat the wound in?

Oh, Radula requires to enter the body like a leech to posesss it.
Wow, that makes sense. So Dale already had a hole in his head from Radula probably piercing it and Radula flew straight threw in Todd through his eyeball.
Great, now we need a way to get more leeches.

Help the policeman up. Tell her the doctor won't be a problem anymore, because of the leech, as farfetched as it will sound.

Poor Mary. At least you know how subtle Radula's poison can be. For god's sake all of you get out of that open hallway!

>>534285

No interestingly the good doctor had to drill a hole in Dale's head to insert the leech. His exposure to Radula is as yet a mystery.

>>534244
Well, you're an EMT, do EMT things.

And congratulate Jeff on that shot now that it's a more appropriate moment for conversation.

>>534243
>screams with revulsion
yeah i would as well.
help her up.

give Jeff a fucking medal for coolest shot of 2013 (or what ever year it is) the go on to make sure all her muscles didn't rip themselves apart

That brings us down to one leech, Dale has it with him though. It also leaves us with Radula knowing where we are, able to devote 100% of his attention to us, and nearby. We need to find Dale and get out of here fast.

>>534366
First things first, make sure that the cop isn't getting the gun from Jeff. While he is a good person, I do not trust him with a gun right now. Second is to help the doc up and check her mental state.

>>534373
I suspect that Radula cannot exist in the waking world for long periods of time, possibly directly proportional to how long Dale dreams. Each time he's shown up he has poisoned someone and tried to use the poisoned person to get to the book. I think the professor thought Radula was merely following him, rather than popping into existence near the person whose nightmares he's haunting.

I believe Radula is already gone. Why else would he require Mary to get the book, instead of going to get it himself? His winning condition is to have the book in the possession of someone who won't or can't run away, so he can get to it the next time he's allowed into this world via the nightmares.

Beth is a freakin' Boss! Definitely time to see if this hospital carries leeches. It's not out of the question that they may.

After we find Dale, that is.

I would like to note that the hospital removed Todd's leech, and we can remove Mary's as well. However, they might not be of any use for at least a day or so, since they could be too full to eat any more neurotoxin.

also get something on that ear of yours.

Leeches are occasionally used in modern medical procedures. They really do work. So they might have some.

If the hospital doesn't happen to have any leeches in their phlebotomy department, you could check the local zoo, or any exotic pet stores. You'd probably be better off looking for another hospital though, medical leeches are at least kept in a clean environment.

Dr. Slate beings to recover and and looks around and asks you something.

"Shh its okay Mary, you're okay now. You were being controlled but we used a leech to remove the venom. "

You explain to her how you are having trouble hearing, and that it might be a good idea to bring each other up to speed.

"Jeff, that was amazing. Where'd you learn to shoot like that?"

He looks up from the revolver and smiles, he spells out with his finger: "D.A.D." His dad? Jeff nods, he shows you that the revolver is now out of ammo, you wonder if the sheriff is carrying any more.

Together you head into a side room and set about patching yourselves up. Lynwood is awake but seems groggy and is missing a few upper teeth. You bandage up Dr. Slate's neck and she has a look at your ear. On a clipboard tells you that its likely perforated, but it should heal as long as you look after it. Your new piercing is pretty permanent however.

Suddenly the sheriff sits up and mumbles something through his broken teeth. He looks at you and snatches up the clipboard.

Lynwood:
>I dug through the footage. Saw her on camera, held them at gunpoint and took them to the chapel.

"Wait, Took who?"

END OF CHAPTER 4

...oh fuck. He's got a congregation now.

And we're all out of leeches.

>>534765
WELP.

The only thing we can do right now is to find Dale. Once we get him and that book, we have everyone touch it/try to read it and if nothing comes up, have Dale, Todd, and the doc sleep at the same time. Even though Rad is stronger in the dream realm, he is probably alone there.

There is only one solution









Jeffs dad

how flammable are hostiles, cause right now I think it would be best to burn this place down

*hospitals

but yeah I guess hostiles works too

I don't think the people who get leech'd can read the book. So for the love of god people, find that book and read the damn thing before you're either a zombie or a recovering zombie and it's useless to you!

>>534765
...we're going to need more leeches.

>>534765
Call the National guard.
I'm serious.

>>534772
Mouse Burt Gummer does sound like a good idea.

Track down Dale through the camera footage, then get the hell out of dodge.

>>534816
Call the national Gaurd, AND Jeff's dad!

Also, page Dale.

>>534773
Set fire to the Anaesthesia department.

Also, write down that it's all the Sheriff's fault, as if he hadn't caused that explosion, NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING.
