| They are in a back courtyard, with a nice koi pond in the middle. However, looking at the pond, it is not with koi, but blue-ringed octopuses and surrounded by poison plants, like nightshade. The side where Iris has suggested is a pavilion with a Buddha statue. Lee makes sure it is secure and guides the party into it, out of line of sight of the courtyard. The Professor notices a seem in the statue and it leads to a secret door. There is an unlighted passage. Silver turns on the lights and Lee creeps in. He finds what appears to be a botany lab to experimenting with poisons and small armory. At the end is an iron grate that Iris is able to pick the lock on and open. | They are in a back courtyard, with a nice koi pond in the middle.

| The next room is what they really expect from a cult. There is a statue of the horrid Bloated Woman aspect of Nyarlathotep at the far side of the room. Before them is a glass coffin holding Mae Ling, with rats suspended before her eyes. Jack goes to charge in and is tackled by Iris. Lee hears the sound of scraping on the ceiling. | The next room is what they really expect from a cult.

| Lee kicks away her sword and bends to search her. Her eyes fly open and she headbutts Lee, knocking him back. The mystery woman with green eyes flees into the night, leaving the young man rubbing his jaw. By the time he returns to the rope, Iris is over and taking Jack and Mae Lin to find their truck, parked by Jack’s man a couple streets over and to bring it back. It is about this time, lights come on in the compound. | Lee kicks away her sword and bends to search her. Her eyes fly open and she headbutts Lee, knocking him back.

| The Professor and Silver are still on the wall. They are harder to see than the white woman chanting strange words in the middle of the compound. The air is drying around them as heat starts to pound down. Sand is starting to blow into the area and a dark cloud is forming above them. The summoning is working and despite not liking this use of magic, Silver knows it would be devastating to interrupt it. From a bedroom, and old man pokes his head out. Silver aims and fires a perfect (01) shot, exploding the head of Ho Fang. Seeing a curtain pulled back, Silver sends a rain of fire into that window, and whomever it was there, falls back. Alarms start ringing and Silver shoots the closest one but more go off. | The Professor and Silver are still on the wall.

| In her head, Gloria sense the request for orders, and she simply says “Destruction”. Done casting, the Professor hauls her up and lowers her down. Silver and the Professor both stumble as they climb down and land badly. The application of Flesh Warp stops Silver from being hurt, but the Professor limps away. It is at this time the truck shows up and Lee shoves the driver out of the way as they pile in. Chaos is behind them.

| Lee floors it away as screams fill their ears. It is destruction behind them, not just of the compound, but damage around the block. Silver looks back and is appalled at not just the destruction but the unnatural horror of it. He tells Gloria to //”Turn it off”//, but she says, with a far away look // | Lee floors it away as screams fill their ears.
