Nan stares upward, standing in the cold, still air of the chapel.

The journal is quickly forgotten as more immediate concerns arise.
Nan realizes she and Henry are not alone.

The courtyard seems like a terrible idea. We'll probably go there eventually, but I wouldn't go without a plan.

If at all possible, return to the hole you crawled in from. If you have provoked this sketchy black long-snouted person by shining your flashlight in its face, I guess the courtyard's your only choice.

Ohh... kay. So, all right, if the "good hotel/bad hotel" theory is perhaps somewhat right, these memory-visions might be something benevolent, trying to communicate with you.

Nan does not have the journal, nor any other items with her.

Nan approaches Lorenzo. He says he didn't even notice her come in. He was focused on praying. And thinking.

What's the date? He's not sure anymore. He only meant to stay for a while, but it feels like the Padre, who is probably around here somewhere, has been stringing him along. He knows he shouldn't question the acts of God and His teachers, but he still has yet to get that blessing.
In a way, it feels like he's trying to keep Lorenzo from leaving.

He pauses, then looks at Nan with a curious expression.
She's not one of the nuns here, is she?
>>
No. 439024 ID: 378452

Tell him you're not a nun, but he's right that there's something strange going on with the Padre and he should listen to his instincts and get out of there. You'll help.

There will be other blessings, and with the Padre in the state he's in I'd be... concerned about what a blessing from him would mean.

Something tells me Lorenzo's not going to listen, though.

No. 439025 ID: 1dde13

To lie is damnation.
>>
No. 439028 ID: 7f2d33

Tell him we're getting a similar feeling, but if he doesn't want to leave he could instead ask the Padre if he's alright. If he really cares about his religion he'd want to make sure his superior is well. We'll be there with him to guide him through this little moral dilemma.

Nan says he's correct, she's not a nun.
Lorenzo smiles. He thought not.

The Padre said he needs the help of this humble pilgrim, and as he is on a holy mission of discovery, he can hardly turn down such a request.
He's worried about Father Velasco. His behavior has been... worrying. But Lorenzo can't just abandon him.
He's obligated to stay until the Padre releases him.

Tell Lorenzo he is not obligated, to go to another church and perhaps seek forgiveness from another father. You have heard things about this father as well, things that do not bode well. Please, Lorenzo, leave. Leave or his soul will not enter through the gates of heaven. Not through his own fault, but by that of other people. Mercy is the true grace of god, he will not find mercy in this church. It is tainted.

Yes, Lorenzo says. He knows the Padre is... deeply troubled. He has become increasingly reclusive in the short time the pilgrim has been here. He seems preoccupied, and his mind - perhaps even his soul - is not at ease. He's taken a dim view of his own congregation, most especially the savage native people he came here to convert in the first place.
In confidence, he refers to them as vermin.

But that is all the more reason that he, as a servant of God, should stay to ensure things do not stray further from His plan.

And if he does and falls mad and attacks you Lorenzo? I know you say you'd never let it happen but it's a possibility. Lorenzo isn't Jesus, he shouldn't be trying to help try and take on everyone's sins on.

Tell Lorenzo that you don't want him to get hurt, admittedly for your own selfish reasons, but there are also selfless reasons. You've... been through this before, sort of. A pilgrim that followed a padre into madness and hurt others from the congregation. People have been killed over supposedly innocent selfless acts, you just don't want a repeat of what happened that you've been through. Also, his ears are adorable. Don't lose those really nice ears. Let 'em flop everywhere.

Yes. This is bad, real bad. Know this the content of journal, kim the furnace(I think they were both her btw), and the arms reaching out the furnace ,this almost certainly confirms my theory that The Father (and assuming their the same person The Padre) is burning people alive.

Whatever you do, don't say you have read his journal. Even if he believes it outright, he'll want to see proof. If he looks for proof, he might get caught. And him getting caught doing something like that could quickly result in becoming that skull-faced pilgrim we know and fear.

But I DO agree with trying to talk to the padre, and with telling Lorenzo that we have seen this kind of thing end in tears. If possible, get him to agree to leave if you ask him to again. Then don't ask him to. If he promises, we might be able to 'release' him just by asking him to leave the hotel. I hope.

I'm not actually sure if we can change the past or not. Remember the elevator? We gave her a screwdriver that may or may not have had any impact at all. But we don't know the mechanics of this event. MAYBE we can change stuff, MAYBE this is only happening in Nan's head, MAYBE its happening in SOMEONE ELSE'S head, possibly at the same time as it is in Nan's, so while we can't change things, we can make them remember stuff that never happened. If we could leave hints for ourselves in the future, we might be able to piece together just what these 'flashbacks' are. The only ways I can see us doing that are trying to convince the pilgrim to not become a horrible skull monster what eviscerates everyone, or carving something into a pew or a wall or something, and hopping that the hotel kept those walls or pews or whatever.

My only problem with the "Tell Lorenzo to do something about the Padre" plan is that, for all we know, him trying to stop the Padre is what causes Lorenzo become "The Pilgrim" we all know and fear. Or, Lorenzo trying to leave is the trigger for Padre just fucking up ALL the shit. That said, if this can actually change the past, we need to get Lorenzo out, because without him, there is no Pilgrim. (Unless he's not THE pilgrim and is really just a red herring/exposition guy who happens to be A pilgrim, but that would be silly.) If there's no pilgrim, not only is Anna still alive (maybe, we're not sure how this time-travel-wibbly-wobbily thing works yet), but so is the first guy that Pablo mentioned, who might be able to help us.

Or I'm pulling at straws. Frankly, that seems more likely.

Voting to hug Lorenzo,
Voting to try to convince him to leave. Maybe tell him that the Padre is beyond saving. If he asks how we know, just tell him that we had proof that he was planning something big and that it's too late to interfere in, or something like that. The mission is neither holy, nor is it technically discovering anything. Is it possible for him to get his blessing anywhere else?
>>
No. 439845 ID: cfd2bf

If we look back to the journal entries in the 5th thread the padre mentions that the pilgrim (a traveler but maybe not The Pilgrim(note the capitalization)) is trying to leave, maybe this is a hint that we have been moved to (or are viewing) this point in time from the journal and that we try to convince Lorenzo to get the blessing and leave. causing the padre to become more unstable.
So to keep the timeline (or Nan's mind) from damage i'm voting for just gathering information without giving to much away about our current predicament, however if we can give lorenzo some discrete hints (the kind he wont understand until he becomes The Pilgrim(if Lorenzo becomes him) as some kind of Stitches (from rubyquest) style memory fix.

TL:DR version, don't tell Lorenzo to much, unless you can do it without to much being given away.

No. 439909 ID: 0d2bec

It doesn't matter what you try to say or do, the Pilgrim is already in the hotel. If Nan tries to cause a paradox by getting Lorenzo the heck out of dodge, then that might be the kind of temporal phenomenon that helped curse the hotel in the first place.

The best she can do is serve as a silent observer of the events, not directly interfering in any way. She might unwittingly be the cause of all this mischief in the first place if she keeps interfering with the past in this way!

Nan tries to convince the poor pilgrim that perhaps the local padre has lost his way. That perhaps even a respected man of the cloth might stray from the path.
Maybe he should leave while he can. This is not his responsibility.

But it is, Lorenzo says.
He must do what is demanded of him by God and the church.

He's started building something, you know. Down in the big cellar, under the church. A furnace, maybe. He spoke of it only in passing. But he's building something.
He believes God has a plan. And so too must Father Velasco.

We've only seen the Beast's eyes. The reason why shining the flashlight on it is a bad idea is that overusing light pisses off the dark ones. Santiago survived for this long by using just enough light to get by. We should do the same, but keep investigating as well.

Don't they say that music soothes the savage beast? Nan should try HUMMING SHOWTUNES if we ever find ourselves suddenly in the courtyard with the beast.

The problem is deciding whether the (suspected, don't see no mouth) Beast is strong enough to rip through those doors. Santiago warned us not to antagonize it while Nan was "safely" up on the third floor... so I'd say yes. Yes it is.

For now, keep directing Henry to the hole and, backing away, remain as calm as hu... goatly possible. If the (suspected) Beast makes any attempt to rush through the door, use your FLIGHT INSTINCT to enter the hole ASAP, preferably with Henry in front of you. Don't use the flashlight either way - you either risk angering the Beast or losing a moment better suited for escape.

I don't like the eyes though. They're closest to being Santiago's, but on the close-up they're not perfectly round and are slanted just a bit. The Beast has different, highly slanted inward eyes and the teeth seemed to be visible if the Sun Room pics are to be trusted. A third party?

I think the tinted lighting is fire-light. The furnace, the fire when we first saw the Padre, and now the candle, I believe all had this tinted lighting. What I assume is moonlight from the window in the chapel seemed to be a bluish, dim light. Artificial light is plain white.

Not sure if the assumed moonlight is relevant in any helpful or harmful way (it certainly didn't stop the Beast), but fire is probably not our friend right now, given the ties to the Padre.

Yes, hide in the cupboard. Try to leave a crack or something so you can see, and don't make any noise.
If it's a baddie, you'll hopefully avoid detection. Hopefully.
If it's a goodie, you can just step out of the cupboard and say you were scared.

GLORIOUS CUPBOARD, HOW WE SALUTE THEE.

There are no other good hiding places and going for the Balcony with either the smokemonster or easy access for the Beast will probably shorten our lifespan significantly - even if neither of them can reach that high, the noise they'll make will bring our visitor closer.

OPERATION CUPBOARD IS A GO.

I got an idea, but it's a risky one. Leave the check on the table, THEN hide. If they see it, this may prompt an audible reaction from person[s?] coming in, from the sounds we can judge friend or foe. Like I said, it's risky, anyone else willing to take that risk?

oh my god you guys
for the love of sweet dicks do not hide in the cupboard
you need to get under the bed. if you have an opportunity to get out it'll be easier to slip out from under the bed unnoticed than to open the cupboard doors, at eye level, and run out - besides, the cupboard is way too obvious.
part of me thinks that maybe there's a secret passage through the cupboard and that would be easier to get out through, but another part of me thinks that an empty cupboard means there is something that the owner of this room regularly removes and then puts back again, meaning there's a high chance that they will open the cupboard to put something away when they get in.

The bed does not appear to have an 'under', from the picture, though that may just be the art. In addition, Nan appears to large to fit, though again, might just be the art. If it's possible I vote for this, otherwise leave everything where it is and hide in the cabinet.

To continue or revise this speculation, maybe there's another guest in the hotel we don't know about, and the Padre needs them for the "9" in the marked passages, and then the Pilgrim for the "10" to round out the ritual.

It's be strange if he was focused so much on Nan because she's the goat necessary for the ritual. The fact that they're animals has never been relevant to the plot of the quests.

I thought their species explicitly didn't even matter. Didn't Weaver say something about how he wasn't going to say what species Henry was because the animal characteristics were mainly a way to visually distinguish characters when the art was so simple, or am I misremembering?

...has anyone considered ducking back into the chapel? If we're lucky, the Beast is resting and won't notice us, and can maybe be used as a trap for whoever's approaching. If we're unlucky, it immediately eats our face also everything else.

Be careful to keep your breathing quiet and even. Don't move if you can help it and be ready to run at a moment's notice. It's best to wait until the Padre is gone - until we've HEARD the door closed - before we even think of making any movements.

I'd say be careful not to stare at him so he doesn't feel himself being watched, but looking away might yield a crucial moment of vulnerability against Naan if he happens to want to open the cabinet for any reason while she's avoiding looking at him.

Just because he's turned towards the cupboard doesn't mean he necessarily is aware there's someone inside. Keep quiet and ready to move if he goes to open the cupboard or, worse, attempts to block it. There's a danger that he might try to trap Naan inside and burn her if he's aware that someone is in there.

When it's time to make a move, aim the pipe for the head then keep running. If Naan strikes first and moves quickly, he won't have time to gather his bearings and make a counter-offensive.

I wonder if the padre has actually started to turn into the eldritch abomination or can't see in the dark like normal people...

The mouse might have just saved our lives. Padre leaves to find and kill it, steal bible and candle and run like hell.

I wouldn't run back towards the beast unless we absolutely have to. Padre came in from the door on the left. Since we know that the area leading back into the Chapel is a dead (literally) end, why don't we go out where the Padre came in, instead? At least that way we might have more room to run around and/or find a good hiding spot and/or find a good weapon to defend ourselves with. Our only options available if we run back to the beast are A) Go out the tiny hole Henry escaped through (which would be nearly impossible), or B) Go through the courtyard, and we're not even sure we can get OUT of the courtyard.

I vote wait a little bit for the Padre to leave and then go out the door on the left, unless we just want to bust out of that closet and run for our lives. Either way: LEFT DOOR LEFT DOOR.

Three possibilities-

One-Leave the room through the balcony? If a time skip has occurred, then the monster that was there is gone, equaling safe passage. Maybe follow Henry through the crawl hole, and meet up with him?

Two-Check the cupboard. No, really, check inside it, behind it, move it if possible cause the cupboard or the wall it covers may have some dark symbols causing you to imagine the Padre. Or, there could be a passage behind it, and I swear to God, not a Narnia joke.

Three-Leave the room through the door the Padre entered. Before leaving this room, look through the glass window to see what lies ahead, and then plan accordingly.

WHILE IN THIS ROOM...
-Examine the bed, including between the matresses and inside the pillowcase-Padre could be hiding a journal there.

-Examine the Bible cover if it slips on and off. Again, Padre could be hiding something important.

-Examine the cross. Read the plaque if possible, and see if anything hidden behind the plaque or the wood.

Oh, preempting the joke, Yes, look at the Padre's wood, hahaha-Shut up. Seriously, see if you take the plaque; if the edges are sharp enough, then use it as a makeshift knife.

-Turn around and examine the fourth wall.
Not this thread, or TV Tropes, or a picture of Linkara, just the wall where the cupboard leans against. If something is there, examine it.

-Collect the pillow as a possible weapon, as a future suffocator against a sleeping enemy, along with curtains to throw over someone from above as a distraction. Collect the Bible if you can lift it. Collect candle last so not in darkness, and accidentally invoke one of the Fear Mythos.

Thanks to that little outburst, we now have to question whether the Padre was ever there at all, and if he was, if he was still lingering within earshot. There's also the fact that the Beast hasn't broken in during all this time. Stealth, for the moment, has been broken, so we need to first and foremost listen for any other noises and check the window to see if anyone is coming. If there is any sign at all, grab book and candle then bolt as fast as your feet can carry you.

>>446481 has the best plan of action I've heard so far for searching if we can spare the risk (though I will suggest a few tweaks). If it seems like nothing is stirring or immediately coming, then let's take just a few moments for hasty searching.

My vote is to prioritize looking at the scribblings on the wall again and fetching the Bible for later study outside of this room. Check the plaque/hole in the wall (as well as what the black stuff is on the walls), then look to see if there's anything unusual in/around/behind the cupboard.

After that, if it still seems like we're more or less in the clear, check the bed and behind the curtains. Save the candle grabbing for when Nan is leaving, as we don't know what messing with the light source is going to do.

I vote also to scratch bringing the pillow along, as I doubt we'll ever have the chance to come across a sleeping enemy. Plus, there are pillows for this in the other rooms.

No matter what, make sure to keep the pipe on hand at all times during any and all searching because we don't know when something is coming in. Be ready to flee for our lives at any time.

I agree with thoroughly searching the room now the coast is clear.

Also try and find the rat (did it go through the door on the left or is it still in the room?). It's clearly intelligent to a degree (having stayed quiet when Nan said so) so it might be useful. Also rats are adorable.

After that, go back to the balcony. The only thing that blocked the hole Henry crawled through was a pew - he could easily make his way back, trying to find Nan. Even if the room is completely trashed and there's no way for Nan to get down (on that note: bed sheets - they could be tied to the balcony railings and lower herself down to the lower level) or Henry to get up they could communicate. Then perhaps they could both search the door on the left together, which would be much safer.

Hmm, that pillow, is it a straw pillow befitting of a 19th century man... er thing? What I'm trying to ask is; does it have a pillow case? If it does, can Nan take it and either A: Use it a napsack for 2+ more invetory spaces, we do have a full inventory and want to take the candle and Bible still right? Or B: Can Nan tap in to her inner MacGuiver and combine the pillowcase, totem (or first item of weight we come across), and lead pipe to create a deadlier weapon? Other suggestions for filling; the remains of a broken vase/lamp, marbles (or other stuff small but weighty in numbers), clocks , phones , glass(iff the material is strong enough), the severed heads of enemies, foods stuffs, etc... Upon futher thought it could be both be a weapon AND and extension of our inventory if it's content is strong enough to withstand swinging and bashing.

Use the pen as a bookmark for the padre's journal. This will free up one space in the inventory for you to pick up the bible. Use the check as a bookmark for the bible, which frees up the final space for you to put the candle.

That way if you do have to leave a hasty note, everything you need will be in one inventory slot.

We don't need the bible or the candle because the pages of the bible are illegible and we have a flashlight. This is The Padre's room. Do we really need to give him any more of a reason to want to kill us by taking his stuff?

Don't take anything and be prepared to fight whatever's on the other side of the door.

No. 447175 ID: 2073cc

Okay, two ways to respond to the door...

A-If the figure has seen you, rush. More accurately, use the lead pipe to smash the glass window and yell "Who are you?" crazily. The surprise of your behavior will throw it off guard, plus breaking the window will allow you to see who it is. If it is a friend, relax guard. If it is a foe, back off, and throw the bible at its head or crotch. Then hold hostage for interrogation.

B-If you have seen the figure first, but it has not seen you, then move out of the candlelight and to the left side of the door, along the wall with the cupboard against it. Wait for figure to move away or enter the room.
If it is a friend, introduce yourself.
If it is a foe, ambush with lead pipe either on top of head or in between legs from behind.

And I know you laugh, but this is a valid tactic. Otherwise, it would not have been so effective on Gamzee, would it? Yeah, thought so.

Oh, yes, let's be sure to take all of Padre's things, even though they could literally not be more useless to us at this current moment as far as we know. This is such a good plan I can't POSSIBLY think of anything that will go wrong!

Check his identity with one of the questions suggested earlier, then... hm.

On one hand, we've just had some (very) strong suggestions that we should leave the Padre's items alone, on the other, the Excommunication idea was so far the best one we've had. With Pedro here, we could offload some stuff on him... but it's a bit hard to muster the trust now that he seemingly popped into the Padre's room for no obvious reason.

Let's try and be careful not to act suspicious or antagonistic. Inform Pablo that we saw the Padre and the Beast nearby and to keep his guard up. That will allow Nan to keep wielding the pipe without giving him an excuse to be suspicious, since I have a feeling he's not going to lower his axe any time soon anyway. Not to mention those two entities are still a very real threat right now so discarding weapons might not be a good idea.

After that, ask Pablo what happened since he and Nan were last together and then tell him what's been going on in kind. What we saw in that place with the bleeding Nan painting was terrifying, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he's out to kill us. We also don't know how much of the strange things we see is time travel or illusions (see Kim in the furnace). The longer we can keep things on friendly terms, the better. The last thing we need is for the hotel to play with our paranoia and sense of reality to have us turn on allies.

I wouldn't be *too* suspicious of Pablo. During the weird dream sequence, his dialogue didn't seem to suggest that he killed Nan, but rather, he made a mistake that he deeply regretted that lead to her death.

Tell him to be careful of the Padre, and they should both be on guard and get out of there before he comes back. Also yes, asking why he left Anna sounds good, but it can probably wait a bit until they're in a safer place.

Ask Pablo if it's possible or advisable to return to the hotel from the direction he's come; we don't know why he's brandishing the axe, it could just be a precaution but he could be fleeing something. And seconding people above, ask him what happened with his shift with Anna.

Consider these two but...you know I've got a feeling the dark things are following him in, considering they don't seem to be directly attacking him or anything.

He's probably tipped over the crazy scale a bit. So while you're forgiving/warning him to get in and shut door get ready for some serious running action.

Actually if possible, ask him WHAT you are forgiving him for and SHINE THE LIGHT TOWARDS HIM/THE MONSTERS(IT SCARES THE MONSTERS), might get some exposition or well...freakouts. I feel like we're going to be making use of that totem soon.

No. 449015 ID: ffd73c

I agree with the idea that these things have been following him, but Nan might want to try and save him anyway. The rats did help him before too, so he might not be beyond salvation. It seems like he was warped by the hotel like Santiago.

If Pablo is within arm's reach, then Nan should grab him (by the weapon arm) and pull him in while giving warning. If he's further back then that then it'd be better (if cruel) to back away while shouting the warning and readying for combat. Part of me wants to suggest apologizing as well if we can fit it in, but at the same time, I have a feeling that the hit was justified frustration on Nan's part so she'd be better off not backing down if that's the case, telling him that whatever he's doing he needs to STOP before the hotel consumes him too. Emphasize that she doesn't want to see that happen to him. She wants them all to leave together.

Between all the scares you've just been through and the adrenaline that's no doubt pumping in your veins, you've spent these last few minutes in perpetual terror. Your body can't take that, not to mention your mind. Take a minute and just let it all out. Cry a little, if it helps, and hold on to Pablo for a bit. He understands what this place can do to people--he shouldn't object while you take a moment or two to get yourself together.

And don't forget: Tackle Pablo. Fastest way to get him to safety.
