Horrors Without Borders: 3D 2023

* Everyone received a letter requesting their prescence for urgent discussions at his bedside.
* Son and Mother asked to leave room so that conversation may be private.
* Rupert was part of a group dabbling in the occult that rented a small farmhouse and actually managed to summon something. That something still bound to the house.
* Rupert is the laxt surviving member of the group, and he's afraid that upon his demise the creature will be unleashed. The complete directions to achieve this is somewhere in the farmhouse
* The group receives Rupert's diary, a letter, and a statuette
* As they rumble into the small village of Cobb's Corners, the Sheriff corners them and warns them about not spending too much time around the old farm
* They get to the farm house which is clearly worse for wear
* According to the diary, there's something about reversing a chant and not breaking a pentagram to reverse the summoning.
* Inside they find the remains of the ceremony that happened all those years ago, including the remains of the pentagram
* Sam Reely realises there's someone probably hiding in the basement
* As Major Julian Harris comes into the house, a form rushes out from the basement for the back door.
* Red Jake runs out of the house screaming that the monster will come down after dark and kill them all, disappearing into the woods.
* In the cellar they find a trunk filled with cultist robes, a cigar box with a strange smelling powder, and a sheath of yellowed papers with a latin text
* Meanwhile Major Julian Harris has found a hole in the fence out back. He does come across a family of barn cats around the outhouse.
* He also spots a large hole in the roof to the house (leading into the attic)
* The group spend the last couple of hours before nightfall preparing
	+ Harry barricades all the exits and entrances.
	+ Major Julian Harris takes a look in the attic and spots the monster before retreating
	+ Anya Crane explores the cellar and finds several good antiques
	+ Sam Reely translates and prepares the chant
* They start the chant, and hear all sorts of noises from around the house.
* As the hours pass the noises and odd feelings continue.
* After about two hours the Sheriff is heard outside knocking on the door. There is a crack, and the car headlights go out as the Sheriff gets very scared and now demands entry.
* There is a loud shriek from outside, and then it goes silent.
* Over the next few hours the sounds start becoming more concerning, including gunshots.
* Then there are claws coming through the walls, a hole opening up showing the zombie Red Jake coming through the wall with his knife
* This causes Sam Reely to loose his cool and scramble for the ladder up to the attic to get away
* Major Julian Harris shoots the brains out of Red Jake's Zombie
* Sam Reely is consumed by whatever is in the attic and as his body comes floating down into the circle, causing Anya Crane to go berserk
* Anya Crane starts breaking the circle as Major Julian Harris shoots her dead in cold blood. This causes Major Julian Harris to get a bright idea, so he rushes up the ladder to grenade the monster, but the grenade is just an egg.
* The session ends with Harry, wearing the cultist robes, splattered with blood from their companions, finishing off the ritual and the curse lifts from the house. As the cold light of the dawn breaks, they step out of the house having removing the barricade from the front door. Outside the Sheriff is just pulling into the driveway with a lawyer representing Rupert's Son. How/if Harry explains the damage and mutilated bodies inside is left to the viewer's imagination.

### Trivia

* There is a particularly expensive vase of flowers in the hospital room as a result of James Coquillat reacting to a particularly high donation.
* Another high-value donation named the brand of beans found in cans in the house
* David Naylor playing a character called "Sam" caused much confusion with Dr Samuel Taylor-Thompson in the ongoing The Two-Headed Serpent campaign.
