Falling Through Reality
John and Peter seem to fall from one reality to another. They have visions of being upside down and bleeding, talking in tongues.
They awaken in a rock cave. There is an eggy, sulphurous smell in the air. It is twilight but they can see. There are pools of runny, liquid cement, same colour as the rock.
Living Gargoyles
They hear noises in one direction. They see the girl from the call centre. She is being held but what look like man-sized gargoyles, made of stone by animate.
The gargoyles are dragging her to a pool of cement and they push her in, making her drink some of the liquid. John attacks one of the gargoyles, but is forced to the floor and he too is dragged towards the pool too. Peter is able to help free him and they both run away.
Occult Magic
They find the dolman, same as from the Terror Room. It is covered in Occult symbols. Peter recognises they are binding spells, drawing power from the earth. Around the stones is a demon binding circle, but a crack in the earth has broken the circle.
With a sucking sound, the rock creatures begin to rise from the floor. John and Peter run towards the edge of the cave, where they find a large pool of liquid cement. There is gap between the pool and the wall and they creep along edge, trying to get around the pool to the other side.
At one point they see the body of a man partially merged into the wall. The man’s face is horrified and one hand reaches out as if for help. This spooks too much and he cannot go past it.
They head back the way they came. The masonry monsters find them and give chase, but the monsters are slow. They run in random direction and find some stairs that go up.
Reception Area
They go upstairs and find an area that is an underground cave again, but also looks remarkable like the Temco Reception on the ground floor. They begin to suspect they are in some sort of parallel area to the Temco building.
They miss a small pool of liquid cement and Peter puts his foot in it. The liquid burns the skin.
They try to leave through the main doors, but the entrance is just a stone wall. They do spot an article of clothing that peter recognises are belonging to Tracey.
Up until now, their memories of exactly what they are doing has been a little fuzzy, but now that starts to clear. They discuss the implications of what is going on. Peter starts to make sense of his Tarot reading. They start to plan how to escape by finding a window and climbing through.
Gargoyle. Flee the reception. Go up the "stairs".
Girl on one level. Falls over and cries. Wants to go home.
Sharon. Take here to level 10.
She touches the green vanes. Becomes possessed and screams at them. Punched out by JD. Realise she has told the building where they are.
They leave her and run, again ignoring whatever is on level 10. Climb up several levels before pausing for breath. They hear a scream from below.
Crawl slowly towards the top level, where they believe they will find a way out. When they get there, they go up onto the roof and discover that the building is actually in the middle of hell.
Failed fear checks, JD begins babbling in tongues.
Crowd of people in white robes. Shelton is there, with a halo around his head. He says their talents are needed for Sh'Haz'on, who is more powerful than the host of heaven and who's coming will herald the end of the world and the coming of paradise.
The party are drawn into the middle of the circle. He removes JD's glove, revealing the wound that the possessed girl gave him has turned into a black mark that is strangely occult in shape. He says he is marked for the mistress.
A ceremony happens. A star falls from the sky and hits them. A strange 'S'-like symbol beams into the sky.
Once ceremony over, Shelton orders them to be disposed of. They are escorted towards the edge of the building, to be thrown over. But a voice calls to them and shines a light. It is Tracey. The light, which the others do not see, snaps them out of their hypnotic gaze and they surprise their escorts and thrown them over the edge instead.
Shelton orders his followers to seize them.
They run with Tracey back to level 10, where she takes them to see 'John'. Her arm is in a make-shift sling from her jacket. They discover the light came from a small broach she has, which is an Indalo.
She says the demon was clever and distracted them from going to level 10. Sharon is alright, she is with John. She was not able to rescue them before they gave their souls to Sh'Haz'on.
They get to level 10 and are taken to a room, where there is a spirit that she is talking to. JD sees a spiritual outline of someone with a priest collar, but they look in a terrible, shocked state.
Tracey is talking to John and she says he used to work for people who tried to save the world from evil. TempCo are evil and built the Terror Machine. John and his friends stopped them, but they were caught in its destruction.
Shelton and his men are closing in. John forms a portal in the wall to allow them to pass through, which they do. During the journey they see scenes from the SAVE team as they attacked TempCo's HQ in Scotland, where the Terror Machine was held. It was destroyed, but Keller was there and he summoned the Terror to attack them when they destroyed the central machine.
They arrive back in the real world. The office is empty.
Then some people pop through the wall. They wake up and ask the party to leave. Sharon suddenly goes into a daze, saying she must return to her office.
They go down the stairs to the ground floor. They see a girl being escorted from the Call Centre, babbling about people being sucked into the wall. The security guard is recognised as one of the rock creatures.
There is a commotion at the door. People claiming they could not get in. The security guard is trying to say they could not possibly have been there for so long, he would have heard them.
JD tells a Policeman there is a funny smell in the cellar.
They go back to JD's office and Tracey has them call ambulance for her broken arm, first of all giving JD the Indalo to look after. "You will need it more than me."
John looks at his wounded hand and sees the black mark has spread from the back of his hand up towards his arm.
They drink themselves to sleep.
