On this episode of Under the Library, a Call of Cthulhu Podcast:

On the far side of the square Johnny speaks to a vomiting, obviously hung over Jimmy Pistapontamore, learning that he’s undercover in New Bloodstone but doesn’t trust his agency or the government, and sometimes feels like he’s losing his identity.

Johnny then heads to the clinic where he finds Buddy with a sleeping Amos. Buddy realizes Amos has two holstered guns, even though at least one was previously abandoned in the hotel room. Amos briefly wakes, yelling “I got the monster, I shot it!” but then falls back into a deep sleep.

At the same time, Lancelot and Colette accompany Sam into a very modern surgery room in the back of the clinic. Lancelot is confused and shaken by the idea that someone could be shot in his town. Strangely, he suggests an arm replacement or an entirely new system, and the doctor reminds him that no, this is a guest, not a member of the staff.

Although Sam was initially suspicious, he eventually agreed to let the doctor remove the bullet and administer antibiotics.

Under the Library, an actual-play Call of Cthulhu podcast, where cosmic horror is steeped in mystery and slathered with self-deprecating humor. Our main storyline, a sandbox created by our Keeper (Michael), is set in (a fictitious) 1942 New Mexico and follows the misadventures of Collette (Emily), Eddy (Scott), Sam (Rick), Lancelot (Wayne), and Buddy (Arthur). We focus on narrative, improv, and character building. We may stick our heads in front of a train because that’s what our character would do, and when we look under the bed even the Keeper may not know what we’ll find. We’re crafting a story, creating flawed characters, suspenseful events, and fulfilling revelations. Call of Cthulhu is a horror TTRPG; characters die horribly graphic deaths. It’s for mature audiences, but played by immature people. Find us at https://underthelibrary.com.
