Nan has entered the TERRA COTTA COURTYARD.

Cover your mouth! You don't want to breath in too much of that if you can help it!
Look for the chapel's entrance.

>>636488

Good idea. Ask Santiago to do the same. Also, ask him to watch your blind spot. You don't want to be surprised here.

Cut to the chase and make your way into the chapel?

HYPE
You should probably go into the chapel, it's probably locked but it's a good start.

check inventory

grab Santiago by the shoulders and deliver a rousing speech. Kiss him.

I mean if we're in the final chapter we gotta kiss somebody and Henry's been eliminated from the pool and Lorenzo's a dirty-ass hundred year old.

The mission is ablaze. The courtyard is catching fire.

Nan heads with Santiago towards the CHAPEL, to gain entry before the fire consumes the heavy double doors.

Knock first before entering. It's only polite.

>>636508
Book it! We've got... something... to do, and probably not much time to do it.

Both of you rush to the doors, and put your back into getting them open! They're heavy, y'know?

Wait do we actually know if the sacrifice took place in the chapel or was that just where the congregation was burnt

Cover your mouth as to deter smoke inhalation and carefully make your way into the chapel!

Can you feel the heat from the fire? It is someone else's memory, after all.

Keep an eye on Santiago.

>>636508
Can you get in through another entrance? Like a window or something? iirc, they barred the doors.

Nan reaches the doors to the Chapel.
Thick flakes of ash fill the air. A sickening smell comes from the great entrance.

>>636534
There's going to be charred corpses in there, I expect. Prepare yourself for the sight.

Try to open the doors carefully. The rings might be hot from the fire and you don't know what's going on inside right now. (though, yeah, it's probably lots of dead people)

>>636534
Open the doors.

Careful, doorknob will be burning hot.

>>636535
Yep.
Or, at worst case, people still alive.
Prepare your "I can't handle the gravity of this situation" face just in case.

Watch out for the sudden rush of air you'll cause when the doors open! Stick close to the sides of the doorway.

Ask Santiago if it's going to be alright.

>>636534
Well, we're at ground zero Nan, time to gun it to the father and end this.

Doorknobs are for cowards! Open that door with a good, strong kick.

>>636547
I hate to be a wuss, but let's reconsider that. Nan probably cannot kick down a heavy wooden door, let alone one that is probably close to igniting. If she attempts it, she could wound her foot, and speed is of the essence here. Lastly, she could lose her balance, which would not be a good idea if the Padre is already possessed. (which is likely, things are on fire and there's a "sickening smell")

Remember, you need to take out Padre before the enemy fully possesses him. Make sure that YOU'RE the one to do it.

Focus on the task. Do not look away, and leverage your experiences in the hotel against anything the enemy might do to stall you.

Good luck.

Well if the mission is burning already then the Padrening is on, haul ass nan !

Ask Santiago if he's got any suggestions. How much does he know about the layout? Anything?

Kicking the door open might startle - and distract - Lorenzo, if the Padre execution already started. Test to see if you can push the doors open first before doing anything else. If they can be opened, push.

SHIT IT'S HAPPENING. Damn I still gotta catch up!

Use the pendant.

Yes do all that, but get the lead out, girl. You guys are running on a time limit here.

Door is barred. Circle around and bust in through a window, preferably closer to the altar so you don't have to wade through as many semi-incinerated parishioners.

I just double-checked. The doors were said to be "closed", not barred. That said, the doors also have the symbol that is anathema to the monster. Opening the doors might screw things up, I'm not sure it's a good idea. If there's another way in we should take it, but otherwise we should just make sure to close the door behind us.

The handles are on the outside, which means the double doors have to be pulled, not pushed (kicked open).
I guess this is the situation where Pablo would apply his manly physique haha.

Wrap your hand in some cloth and give the door a tug. Does it move at all?

Check the door. If it's unlocked, sneak inside. If locked, find a different way inside.

Get in there

Look at Santiago. Ask him if we're really going to survive this.

WAIT. Feel the door and check if it's hot. Logically, if the fire was set INSIDE the Chapel to burn the attendees to ashes, the fire could still be raging just on the other side. How else would it have spread to the rest of the mission. Also is that symbol on the doors drawn in ash? I think we should check to see if it is.

Check inventory.
Did anything appear to help you safely open the doors?

pull your shirt over your mouth, kick open door, look badass while doing it

Yep, here comes rotting burning corpses / rotting burning zombies / rotting burning AND screaming people. Prepare yourself, ready anything you have that can be used as a weapon, and open the door. Try and sneak in -or- just knock that fucker down and kill everything in your path. Your choice.

>>636871
Wait shit but actually.
Yea, no, I didn't think this through. This is kind of an obvious trap. Ready weapon, search for alternative entrance.

I don't know how fast everything is going for Nan, but can you check to see IF there is an alternative entrance? Like a second floor window? Like, use that bench I see next to the entrance as a makeshift staircase to the second floor roofing and enter the church like Solid Snake? If its made of wood, and with two people lifting it, should be easy to tilt? Or is too hot for any commands right now

>>636942
too soon

let out a primal scream of rage and beat the door down then stop the ritual, screaming the whole time

beat the padre until your knuckles are bloody and his body is dust

THE CYCLE MUST BE UNBROKEN

Are there any other possible entrances?

Watch out for explosive what-ever-its-called-when-you-open-a-window-in-a-burnning-house-and-it-explodes.

Open the door and prepare for what's to come

WHY ARE WE GOING IN THROUGH THE BIG ASS DOOR

I'm just saying, the door is likely barred and tough to open, not to mention burning. And then there is a burning congregation to fight trough to get to the front, where the sacrifice is happening.

Duck and Roll to dodge the backdraft

>>637101
Not to mention the BIG ASS 'X' WRITTEN IN ASH THAT WOULD BE BROKEN IF WE OPENED THE DOORS. That just screams trap. Come on now. Find an alternative entrance.

No, Punch through that weak shit door and release your inner Space Marine....FOR THE EMPEROR!

Ask Santiago is he thinks it's safe to bust through the door. You want to be at the best health you can be before you face Padre.

Be prepared for people burning inside he church. It will be a gruesome sight to see.

>>637137

Nan's had worse.

We're definitely going the right way. X marks the spot me buckos!

>>636534
your health bar is going down every few seconds, take a cool drink to up your heat resistance.

Watch out for things that are really hot and are going to burn your hands. If you can avoid it, don't touch metallic objects.

Nan asks Santiago if he thinks they're going to survive this.
"I wouldn't hold my breath, personally."

She carefully places the back of her hand to the heavy wooden door, then to the metal braces on its edge.
It's cold to the touch.

"...But I might as well put up a fight."

>Proceed into the door

>>637410
No backdraft risk. Well, go in, since it appears we aren't going to be looking for an alternate entrance.

Nan opens the door to the chapel.

[Animated]

>>637438
WELP. Advance. Do not fear death, you must do what must be done.

move in quickly. prepare to grab the mallet from lorenzo.

Do what Lorenzo couldn't do. Run in and axe that motherfucker.

>>637438

Finish it.

Lorenzo will probably be really confused. Try to explain as you move up to the stage.

>>637438
Finishing the job is our responsibility. Should the remnants of the parishioners prove hostile, help Santiago clear a path, and take your opportunity to end it as soon as you can. Also, yell to Lorenzo that now is the time to strike, just in case.

>>637491

"EY YOU CRUSTY ASS HUNDRED YEAR OLD, IT'S ME THE CHICK YOU KNEW FROM THE PAST I'M FROM THE FUTURE AND I'VE COME BACK TO THE PAST TO STOP THE FUTURE FROM HAPPENING"

STOP!
Hammer Time.

Alright, I think the best course of action is to rush at Lorenzo with your pendant at hand.

No time to wait. If we delay, the cycle will continue. Rush it.

Dammit, what do we even have against him right now? A weapon? Or are we just gonna put up our dukes?

FINISH HIM

this is your chance, Lorenzo, do it.

Explain quickly that you are not the outsider, but rather a time traveler who came from a future where the ritual failed. They've seen you before, and you're here to see if you can set things right.

Santiago, make sure Nan has a path.

Nan, take the hammer and bash Padre's face in. Then give the hammer to Santiago.

Santiago, finish him off.

Make sure there is nothing left but meat chunks, and then set those chunks on fire. And THEN, place the remains in a coffin or urn and have them heated until Lorenzo can find a way to destroy them further.

Example: Nuclear weapons. Be sure to have them buried for extra effect, not like most people would survive a nuclear test zone anyway.

Dash in, pistol out. Keep your finger off the trigger till you get right on up. Pop the padre in the skull.

The Padre may not be ready to smash yet! Rush up to the platform, ready to grab the hammer he's holding and bring it down for him.

It seems to me that our previous interloping in the past has been able to make one significant change. One bullet left, pop the padre.
Seems like the best course of action to me.

>>637438
>>637410
>It's cold to the touch.

I think we should take this as a sign that our logic here is backwards or there is another force acting on this place. I have a suspicion that acting normally by just hitting the Padre will end up in our demise. Be careful guys.

So, uh, no one noticing the hoard of zombies looking at us?
Also, why couldn't we have been taken like 2 minutes earlier into the past? Things would be a hell of a lot easier.

I dunno, it seemed pretty clear that the ritual sacrifice was absolutely necessary to the defeat of whatever this malevolent force is, if you're wondering why we weren't brought back sooner to STOP the fire killing everyone.

Declare yourself as The Stranger and be ready to dispatch the Padre.

is the guy the padre yet? if so, shoot 'em.

Get on up there Nan, I don't think the people will try to stop you, but if they do I am pretty sure santiago will attempt to fight them off.

Remember: we HAVE TO KILL LORENZO.
He is no longer the stranger. He is part of these events now.
The question remains however: Do we kill Santiago and ourselves?

>>637754
This.
Also beware the congregation, they noticed us.

We don't have time to hesitate.
Hesitation started this whole mess.
We need to finish it.

Phase one is getting close.
Run NOW, during that split in the crowd.
Push them away, keep moving forward.

And part two is...a killing spree.
The pistol is the quickest option right now.
Nothing else, though, till plot progresses.

>>637880
No we don't, we have to kill the "Padre". If we're successful and this changes the past, Lorenzo will have never eaten part of the monster.

>>638022
Listen to this person for they speak with wisdom. Although, perhaps our interactions with Lorenzo in the past have gotten him in too deep somehow? That would fucking suck.

Looks like the communal bonfire isn't finished yet. Problem still stands, the smoldering audience still lives, and it looks like Lorenzo is about to kill the Padre.

That, or we came in at the time before he " hesitated ".

The Congregation doesn't look like they expected us, obviously, but they don't look themselves. Don't go immediately shooting into the fray unless they show aggression.

This is a church, after all. At least show respect until they decide they want to eat your heart out.

The main priority is either getting Lorenzo to snap out of it and kill the Padre, or when Lorenzo DOES hesitate, the two of you will have to help him kill the Padre for yourselves - and if possible, prevent him from eating a piece. Though that might be a long shot.

Priority is Padre and Lorenzo. Do not aggress the Congregation unless they aggress you first. Keep that in mind, and keep your cross close until you need it.

>No we don't, we have to kill the "Padre". If we're successful and this changes the past, Lorenzo will have never eaten part of the monster.

That might have also been a clue that we have to eat him to destroy him 'thoroughly'. Please play carefully, as I'm not convinced we really know what we're doing. At all.

>>638041
It's also possible that Lorenzo's piece won't be banished if we kill the rest of the monster in this place, and thus to kill the monster "thoroughly" we'll have to kill Lorenzo too.

That assumes the horned Lightbringer was referring to this scenario at all. It's quite possible that "thoroughly" stuff applies to a situation in the future, not this one.

>>638041

We don't. We got EXTREMELY lucky on Ruby Quest. I feel we're heading for a bad end.

There is only one thing I can fathom right now. Nan has to take Lorenzo's place. Lorenzo will hesitate, and if we allow him to do so the cycle will continue. Nan has to be the one to kill the Padre when he becomes possessed by the darkness. She cannot waiver. She cannot falter. She cannot hesitate like Lorenzo, or this will end where it started. That's the only course of action I can see happening.

Shout at Lorenzo to end it.

Kill the monster. That is your first priority.

>>637438
well at least we aren't late to the party, this time make sure Lorenzo does not hesitate

Nan is a warm summer day, she is the distraction, the circle is complete. Now kill them both, the padre and Lorenzo!

Pillars of flame engulf the walls, but make not a sound. Flickering embers and ash fill the air, but the room is freezing cold.

"You."

Don't forget to watch your back, Nan. Can't see Santiago's face; that's never a good sign.

"Me.
There's no time to explain, but we're here to help you! We're here to help you finish this. Finally."
Head up to him and help him MALLET the Padre when the time is right.

>>638142
He's got the mark on his face? Interesting. Regardless, you are here to make sure he follows through at the right time.

Hip-bump him outta the way and finish what he started. There's no time to explain.

Give me the hammer Lorenzo.
I'm a goat after all. I'll take the sin in.
I'll finish this once and for all.

Yes, it's her. She's here to end this.
Please. Let her end the cycle.

"I am not Anasazi, and that's my hammer you're holding!"

"The truth is that I'm from the future! I was ALWAYS from the future! I'm an outsider, same as YOU!

Lorenzo, let me take the hammer! The ritual failed in my time, but I can rewrite history! I can be the outsider this time! Please!"

I don't know. Does Lorenzo even qualify as the Stranger anymore? The same could be asked for Nan..

"We're here to save everyone!"

>>638142
Woah!
Lorenzo was never meant to be the Stranger, he's been the Lightbringer this whole time!

. . . This means Pablo's gonna die, doesn't it?

Everything we've heard about the nature of the Padre has been hearsay and fed to us by other characters, and the events of the ritual from Lorenzo himself rather than by our own eyes. The Padre is a puppet of the Lightbringer, had he been the real threat he could have reclaimed the piece of himself from Lorenzo at any time. Lorenzo has been using the Padre this whole time as a bodygaurd and proxy. Nothing has ever been what it seems in this place of nightmares. The fire is cold and people have lied to us.

Lorenzo has been the Lightbringer all along. Kill the Lightbringer.

>>638142
That ain't Lorenzo
LOOK AT THE MARK
BE THOROUGH

JUST KILL THEM ALL

TAKE NO CHANCES

Raise your gun. You're far enough away that your aim would be indistinguishable between double-tapping the Padre and targeting Lorenzo.

As shitty as it is to consider, 638305 is probably right. This could be Henry all over again.

Nan rushes to the altar, demanding Lorenzo relinquish the hammer.

"I was so sure I'd never see you again. I've never been so happy to be wrong.
Always, in the back of my mind, I couldn't forget what you've been telling me. That this couldn't be God's plan.
I guess you were right. There's nothing here but us.

I'm glad you've come to stop me. I'm not even sure I could have done it."

WE FUCKED UP

"IT'S NOT GOD'S PLAN IT'S OURS"

Then apply hammer to Padre, Lorenzo, and anything else that moves.

>>638373
Tell him no. It is God's plan, but he's going to falter. Take the hammer, tell Santiago to keep Lorenzo from interfering. Watch for the right moment, and strike.

>>638373

STOP TALKING, THERE'S SERIOUSLY NO TIME TO EXPLAIN

SNATCH THE HAMMER, BASH THAT FUCKER IN

END IT HOLY SHIT

>>638380
YES! THIS EXACTLY!

Lorenzo, STOP.

HAMMER TIME

Sticking with the fact we can't just straight up tell Lorenzo we're from the future, I propose Nan says this:
"No Lorenzo, this IS God's plan. Something evil IS coming back. I have seen it for myself, and it is an atrocious monstrosity walking in the skin of the Padre. I've seen the future in a vision, and everything the Padre has told you is true! A great evil IS coming, and this is the only way to banish it. But I've seen what has happened now. You will hesitate, and the evil will possess the Padre, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. You have to believe in me. I will take your place, for I have also seen...that I am NOT of Anasazi descent either."

>>638373
"Lorenzo, that's great. Give me the hammer please."

>>638394
Also...make sure she has the hammer before she says this, or Lorenzo will probably try to keep her from taking it. If he tries to take it from her, have Santiago hold him off. Oh, and two more things. One, we must remember that we HAVE to wait for the sign to destroy the Padre. If we strike too early, the quest will most likely go to the bad end. If anyone here forgets, refer to the last thread, post No. 613185. Two, Nan must focus on either the Padre...or a thought that will give her the strength to do what must be done. Whatever thought it is, it must be something that will drive Nan to finish this.

No, tgchan suggestors has been doing the thinking for her.

"Yep.
I'm not just a collection of memories, stuffed into a Nan-shaped can. I may not remember who I am, or where I'm really from. I may not even know if what I remember is real. But I have an idea, and I know who I am.
I'm Nan.
I'm an electrician. I can prove it, if you like.
I came here to fix stuff, and I'm working on that.
But yep, that's pretty much me.
Go fuckyaself."

"Yes: I think of you.

I think that you should stop tormenting me."

Well, we didn't name her Nan. She owns that much at least.

That one about "leaving when I needed you the most." Is it possible that Nan really was a nun at the mission, left before the ceremony, and that's why everything went to shit.

Odds are we're just being fucked with, but it's worth considering.

Do the most Nan thing there is.
Hum showtunes.

Wait, that's not a showtune, that's a normal song.
Oh!
OOOOOOOOOOklahoma where the wind comes streaming down the plaaaains!

I am the very model of a modern major general...

Wait, so the Padre is talking about dead men's memories, but it's Nan's apartment we see. He's also talking about "seeking your children." You know who else was looking for a way out to find his wife and kid? Henry, and he's dead, Oh shit...

>>638643
Alright enough of this nonsense. Your memories from before this place may all be fake, but what you have done here cannot be taken away. You have been a friend for those who needed it. You listened to their troubles, their sins. If you were noone before this place, you are a redeemer now.

Start humming Hotel California.

On a dark desert highway,
cool wind in my hair.
Warm smell of colitas
rising up through the air...

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light. My head grew heavy and sight grew dim I had to stop for the night...

Any songs related to a warm summer in June?

Focus on Little Holly and June.

I love to sing-a
About a moon-a and a June-a and a spring-a,
I love to sing-a,
About a sky of blue-a, and a tea for two-a,
Anything-a with a swing-a, or a "I love you-a, "
I love, I love to sing!

There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"

The she lit up a candle
and she showed me the way.
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

but there's nothing else to do

Alright, true, you are nobody. But you can stop being nobody by stopping the cycle. You might never know who you really are and maybe that's for the best, acknowledging one's self means acknowledging one's actions.
Grab hold of the pendant and stomp it.

>>638662
B-but Nan is naked! Going outside now would be indecent!

"It's tempting, yes. I miss my bike, my job, the simple life that I had."

"But there are others, Pablo, Santiago, Kim we help each other. I would end this now if only to save you from this torment as well! I refuse, if only to save one person from this hell!"

"Why do you keep acting like being remembered is the important thing here? You said it to Kim, you just said it to me; who gives a fuck if anyone ever knows what happened here? It's not about that; it's not about memory at all. It's about doing what's right.

Nan puts the pendant around her neck.

There is a silence, and then the ground rumbles. The light returns.
Thunder roars.
"ＴＨＥＮ　ＬＥＴ　ＵＳ　ＥＮＤ　ＩＴ．"

Dodge any attacks, get out weapon. and be prepared to get that chanteleer down.

>>638694

Nan. Remember the basics of Holy Quarters Combat.

Run down the hall as fast as you can, look for a weapon, lure him into any traps you can find

GET. THE. POT.

If Hellsing has taught me anything, it's that stabbing people repeatedly with holy artifacts tends to work.

But that will probably get us killed here, so let's not do that.

>>638694

This is the 1v1 we've all been waiting for. Finish strong, Nan. No goddamned prisoners.

>>638694
Welp. We still have no means of fighting the Padre directly. Better get out of there, try to find something we can use to fight with.

Let's not forget what the Padre did to Kim. Run to the closest deus ex machina Nan !

>>638694
Friggin' finally! Do you know how long we've been waiting for the management to show up?

>>638707

Funny guy.

There's still a chance The Beast is a collective of burned souls. If so, they'll be more than happy to shred this freak and teach it a lesson in overstaying its welcome on Earth.
At the first opportunity-
Nan: Lure monster into courtyard.

>>638713

That's a hell of a long shot

If you're wrong it means Nan now has two fuckers to deal with, on both sides

>>638714

The enemy of my enemy is my friend? We could give it a shot but we'd have to get the two entities to acknowledge one another and recognize them as the more dangerous threat.

That is what we are! We are the collective of all the people lost to this place. We are the memories, their hopes, their dreams, their desires, their wills, their want to end this come together to form us.
WE ARE THE REPAIRNAN AND WE'RE HERE TO FIX SHIT AND EAT PiZZA!

>>638717

"I came here to fix a hotel and eat pizza.

And I'm all out of Pizza."

>>638713
The sacrifice was made to call the beast to them so they could trap it in padre's body and kill it.

If we can somehow persuade the beast to aid us, or at least fight the Padre, I assume it would like Stitches was to Ruby, saving us at the last crucial moment.

>>638729
>>638715

Alright, if we're gonna bank on the Beast having a sense of friendship,let's do it.

Let's hope this doesn't lead us straight to a bad end.

>>638717
>>638721

We need the Beast somehow realize that we are all trapped here and that if we kill the Padre, everyone goes home, the souls that comprise the beast will be freed. What we need to figure out is how we will get the beast to acknowledge this. Plus the Beast has the upper hand.

"Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast."

The beast will kill the night man.

Did anybody notice that we are naked?

Whatever.

I say we go to the hotel's chapel, thaking care of any fire that can hurt us.

The mail slots may contain items. Check 117 and see if you can fight back against Padre.

Yeah. Run to the courtyard.

Be prepared to keep running, though. After the courtyard, the chapel seems like the next best bet.

Depending on what you have on you... Can you throw something at that chandelier, bringing it down on the creature's head?

Whether or not it works, I wanna see a monster mash before this story is over, so let's lead the Padre over and start collecting bets.

Nan, run. We have to lure the Padre into some kind of trap, somehow...

fire the revolver.

>>638755

Guns don't work against supernatural things.
Unless...

Nan, do we have silver bullets?

>>638759
We have one bullet, maybe two, and sadly Army revolvers do not pack silver.

No, no, no, do NOT fire the revolver! Not yet! Don't go flying into the fray so blindly, that's what he WANTS! He WANTS you burning. He WANTS you angry!

That bullet is our only chance at putting this bastard out of his misery, we can't go wasting it immediately!

We have to bring the Padre to such a weakened state where killing him is possible. Because, obviously, we can't just go killing him with the MALLET, now, can we?

Don't get aggressive, yet. You're not the BILLY goat. You're the NANNY goat. You're the smart one. Try to duck and dodge, bob and weave, throw him in circles. You're flight of foot, that's a strong suit. You also have mean kicks. Perhaps use those if he gets too close.

Keep the cross close, but I have a feeling that'll be our key to defeating him. It may protect us, but... for how long? How long until we have to use it on him, and end him? You have to buy yourself time until you think it through.

Don't be Anderson here, dear. Learn from past mistakes. This isn't the man behind the Pilgrim Mask.

He will likely not make the same mistakes as them. Do not do the same.

>>638777
That, and when was the last time Nan fired a gun in her life? Our aim must be awful.

wait, do we even have the gun? I think we might be naked...

Let's find Santiago. This is not the place for a showdown.

>>638782

This is all taking place in Nan's head, I'm fairly sure. Santiago's still out there with Lorenzo.

You need to find Santiago and another way to travel back to the past.

We traveled with Santiago together to the "TERRA COTTA COURTYARD".
But where is he now that we've come back?

Secondly, all the people int the church agreed with the Padre to be burned. Not because they truthfully believed it was right, but because the Padre convinced them into feeling that they "knew" it was right. We need to convince them otherwise.

Remind them, that they suffered, and it was wrong. You need to make it right, and remember for them.

>>638784

If the others are correct, their souls went in to The Beast.

I'm not so sure The Beast is our friend, but if it is, that's our best bet for getting the churchgoers on our side.

I think Nan being naked is a definite sign that any inventory we might've had is forfeit.

First, check compartments. Then flee.
The Beast gambit might work, but as was mentioned, if the Beast does not act the way we think it will, we'll have two monsters breathing down our neck.
I'd say the altar below the closet is a good bet too. It is a focal point that connects all timelines together, plus a symbolic place. The mallet might be there in this sequence too for all we know. The tough part would be getting out, though, since the altar room is a dead end.

>>638797
>naked
>check compartments
Kinky.

Look at her back, near her neck There's some clothing there. or it's a choker.

>>638835
It's the cross pendant.

At least we have a pic of Nan's perfect ass one last time

God im an idiot, I only just got how much everything links together, the references to the hotel california lyrics, the fact that we are literally in hell, the whole debate on whether the number of the devil is 466 or 666, etc.
Makes me wonder how much I missed.

Anyway, go to beast first and altar second.
Best case scenario: beast kills the padre.
Worst case scenario: beast can't get in the altar room, and we can have a 1v1 with the padre.
Do we still have the gun?

Nan's inventory is gone. Only the CROSS PENDANT remains.

She decides not to risk fighting. She runs to the FIRST FLOOR LANDING, and the monstrous Padre gives chase.
Her options for escape are limited.

>>638890

Knock stuff over on your way down the hall!

Find the STAIRWELL to the SECOND FLOOR. Ascend until we get to the THIRD FLOOR.
That's where we dived out the window before, right? Lets try that again.

Well, into the courtyard it is.

>>638890
I am pretty sure we are running into a dead end. Unless one of the doors is just plain open we're gonna have to turn and fight.

Now this will be a beautiful death

The stairwell is gone.
The rooms are sealed with dark, sprawling marks.
