Imogen is awakened by Damocles who insists that more dog food be obtained for Audrey. On the way out she hear’s a noise from upstairs and goes to investigate. Up in her old flat she finds that dust is billowing as if some sort of blast had occured and there is a smell of cordite. She encounters The Immaculate Man who tells her it is time to ‘pay her debt’ and to give life to the two dozen she has wronged. She smashes his head in with her sledgehammer. They retreat back down to flat 5 and Damocles fills Audrey in on what has occurred. She politely brushes off the old woman’s attempts to comfort her and heads off to the Pluto club.

At the club Imogen agrees to hand Mary over to Pest within the next 3 days. After several hours of drinking the group staggers home, discussing their current plans and objectives.

The next morning Patrick dyes his hair and makes arrangements for the hitter to follow him to the evening’s reception and take out his brunette double. Steve recieves a delivery of the translated music pages and hands them over to Noah after having a quick look himself.

Imogen and Jenni speak with Mary who says that she took the Hand from the Twins and someone else took the Silver. So far as she knows they never had the Noose.

Steven speaks with other Noah and determines that he appears to have been programmed to kill by a Dr Andrew Langstrom on behalf of Mother Jones and TNI.

Noah reads through the papers and makes an appointment with the Fitzwilliam library to take Amadia to search for more relevant music/texts.

That evening Patrick is picked up by Valentina’s limo and they head off to the Mithraem. They are followed by Pest in his Morris Minor. He brazens his way into the event and then conceals himself in the bathroom.

Back at the Wych House at 6pm, the residents are called to the EGM. Everyone is present except blonde-Patrick. Jenni goes through her revised agenda and the Duke of Hazel attempts to have Old Pissant expelled but the motion is voted down.

At the Mithraem someone is knocking on Patrick’s stall telling him that he needs to give a speech.

Noah is heading south with Newcastle with Mother Jones, recovering from his psychotic break. She is speaking with a powerfully dressed woman about a problem with a ‘switch’. Their chance of recruiting Amadia has apparently been thwarted due to the mistakes of B division cobweb farmers in allowing a switch. Jones wants permission to remove and replace the ‘first iteration’ with the second. The other woman mentions that they arranged for Shirin’s death and then tell Noah that he is only 4 months old and was never married to Shirin….he awakens from the ‘dream’ back in the Wych House. He immediately updates the Mystery Board,

Patrick reluctantly heads out to work through the basement, finding himself in the Mithraem where it appears that some sort of cannibal banquet has occurred. At the offices he finds that BOA is shuttered due to the recent incidents; he tries to find out what details the other Patrick has left there. After absent-mindedly giving the wrong number to the security guard he ends up having a very brief angry phone conversation with Other Patrick before fleeing the freaked out normies.

Noah speaks with Steven about his dream and the latter makes plans to seek out a local Cliomancer called Harold to see if anything can be done about the memory issues. Noah then speaks with Jenny and they decide to hold an emergency residents meeting. Meanwhile Jenni plans to seek out the missing regents through the basement.
Pest asks Jenni to do another gig at the Pluto, this time with a Rococo twist.

Patrick speaks with Valentina, an acquaintance from HSBC and finds out this he is supposed to be hosting an event the next evening. He persuades her to give him a lift there.

Noah and Steve’s meeting with Mother Jones goes…poorly . Once Noah proves uncooperative she summons forth his simulacrum who attempts to murder him with a silenced pistol. Steven immediately snatches up her phone and legs it, quickly outdistancing the ‘kids’ who jump out to stop him.

Amadia and Jenni head out through the basement but only end up in the Pluto club. They notice that the electricity meter there has jumped up passed 20k now. Jenni then goes to get her set prepared, learning from Pest that she’ll be expected to play from 11-5. Jenni is asked to mix some of the classic music and does it sufficiently well that she attracts the attention of the obviously influential Rinka Nehru.

Steven returns to the crime scene to give the police some false information about Mother Jones being the one with the gun. He then returns to the Wytch House and finds Noah struggling home. He helps to patch him up noting that the wound seems a little too straight for something delivered in a melee. Steve calls Harold and it seems that the cliomancer is associated with the Mother Jone’s lot and may recently have performed his arts on a Noah-esque individual. He walks back out to find Noah photographing the Mystery Board with his phone, and then another Noah crawls up from the basement. Not long later the mind controlled Noah is secured and they head out (along with a gun-seeking Patrick) to find Harold.

At the club Jenni speaks with the Perfumier and gets a bit of a price list, and then spots a very Harry Lime-ish individual who enters in an extremely sharp suit. The wych house men show up and Steven attempts to show a photo of the man to Lance Joyguard, only to find that it won’t go through properly. The man asks to speak with Lancelot and then dismisses Steve. He claims to be the ambassador of Magonia.
Patrick liases with Pest to put a hit out on his other self. There is a fair bit of haggling and some difficulty in explaining who is to be the target but in the end a deal is reached.

The residents arrive back in their rooms with Jenni appearing alongside the slightly less douchey Patrick. She gets a text from other Patrick asking if he’s there and after a bit of worry they text back claiming that he’s not. They then try to get a locksmith in to secure the place but are met with predictable inaction.

Noah gets a feeling that the basement is not safe and warns the other residents to stay out for the time being.

Imogen manages to get Mary to talk to her and questions her about Mr Dirt, the Red Piper and other strangeness. Later Jenni talks with her and agrees to help her find the Silver. Mary suggests that someone else stole the Silver immediately after her own theft. They decide that it might be worth contacting La Perfumier

After a talk with Imogen and Patrick, Jenni heads out to the nearest locksmith and returns with locks and deadbolts. Patrick lets himself into Jacob’s flat searching for power tools and hears weeping from the bedroom, he encounters a distraught Alice Bishop. She confronts him with his own death but he does his best to ignore it and leaves with a bag full of Jacob’s equipment.

Amadia has founds some strange notes in Linear B but has been unable to translate most of it. She goes with Noah and they prevail upon Steven to seek out someone who can finish the translation. Her partial translation involves Door within Doors and strangely references Jupiter rather than Zeus.

Patrick and Jenni break into the secured bedroom and within the back of his wardrobe find a host of groaning faces. Patrick eliminates the horror with the old lighter/aerosol combo and Jenni just about manages to control the blaze with a fire extinguisher.

That morning the news mentions that a number of Bank of America employees have gone missing.

Noah agrees to meet with Mother Jones as she is now on her way back from Newcastle.

Imogen goes to a graveyard (via an unwanted meeting with Pest in the Pluto Club) and hurling Mr Dirt’s tooth onto a disturbed grave she invokes the Red Piper. The Piper tells her to find The Silver and the Noose. He advises her to get rid of the tooth’s bearer once she has recovered the artefacts.

Steven speaks with Lance and suggests that at this point murder probably isn’t the optimal method to motivate the knights errant to focus on his task.

Noah is back from Newcastl, much to his own confusion. He speaks with Amadia, Jenni and Imogen in turn and more or less brings himself up to speed with what has happened in his absence.

Patrick goes into work via the Basement which takes him to the Mithrain chapterhouse. At work his own credentials have been cancelled but Frank Langston vouches for him and he is able to get up to the offices. There he recieves an IM from his mysterious source and is given Ayer’s details along with a series of trades to make. He bullies Langston into making half of them to throw the internal auditors off the track.

Imogen spends a fun 5 minutes chucking rocks at unfortunate policemen. This stirs the blue beehive back into action and another armed response unit shows up at the Barbican.

Noah nips out for shopping and manages to slip past the cordon. On the way back he is stopped by the police and questioned about the other Wych House residents- it appears to be everyone who was on the drug lab video. He mentions only seeing Imogen around the place and gives fake details before moving on.

Jacob heads off with his most essential belonging bumping into Jenni and Imogen on their way to Mr Dirt. The handyman accepts their assistance in getting out to a station and then heads off to Spain where he definitely lives happily ever after.

Imogen and Jenni get in to meet with Mr Dirt only to find that the ghoul is distressed to have brought into ‘embassy’ with the emissary of the Red Piper. At this point it becomes extremely cagey and refuses to divulge information lest it grant any advantage to the other, apparently baleful entity. Imogen agrees to wear a token from the ghoul about its neck in exchange for no harm being done to Jenni for her part in this affair. Jenni offers to help Mr Dirt and he asks for information on the whereabouts of the bag of silver.
Damocles growls at Imogen as she returns, his gaze fixed on the hand bearing Dirt’s tooth. She manages to cow the dog before it attacks her but does start to feel the tooth.burrowing into her…metaphysically.

Around 8.30 that evening everyone’s doorbells ring and Lance Joyguard announces he has come to meet with his errants. He introduces Steven Graves, his representative to the group. Steven then sits down with Noah, Amadia and Jenni and they bring him up to speed on the contents of the mystery board.

That night there is a meeting of the resident’s association. The main wierdness is that Old Pissant and the Duke of Hazel are both present. A man of two parts. We nominate Kelly Loboso and Harry Lime to attend the next meeting, with Imogen agreeing to remove the Red Piper in exchange for a chat with Mary. Then the guest speaker arrives- another Patrick Bayne; a very confusing conversation occurs which is interrupted by Audrey’s summoning of the Red Piper. At Patrick B’s panicked insistence the meeting is expeditiously adjourned.

As the dumbwaiter arrives in the basement, Jenni tends to an extremely agitated and improbably lively George. He doesn’t appear to remember Noah at all, and when the dumbwaiter returns the doctor is conspicuous in its absence. She leads him down the tunnel into what appears to be catacombs. She tries to crawl down a narrow tunnel to find help when something grabs her from behind…

The revelation of Jacob’s talons is enough of a shock to halt the violence between Imogen and the handyman and they manage to intervene with Patrick before he does anything too untowards to Ben, the banker restraining himself to trashing the flat. Imogen questions him about where Mary is and he croaks out that she might be at the Pluto club. She heads down to the basement to try to find her and disappears down a tunnel. Whilst Patrick is distracted Jacob carries Ben away to seek medical attention.

Jenni manages to fight her away free from the claws of the guardian and emerges before a ragged group of ghouls- she pleads for help for George and meets their leader, Mr Dirt. She leaves George with them and leaves before they start their supper

Imogen turns up in the Pluto club and reveals that she is looking for her friend Mary. A conversation with Pest ensues in which Imogen agrees to exchange Mary for information on how to find Mr Dirt.

Jacob is accosted by a police officer who gives Ben first aid and places a cooperative Jacob under arrest. This arrest becomes rather firmer when Jacob carefully attempts to hand the gun into the police’s custody. The officer’s attempts to apply the cuffs are halted by the gunpoint intervention of Mrs Bishop who drags her protesting husband home. A loud altercation then occurs in the doorway, overheard by Patrick, whereby the ghost reveals that if the Wych House is left via the basement then the occupants won’t be troubled by the authorities.

Patrick leaves for hospital, bumping into Jenni en route. She gives him directions to a tube station and he makes it to his usual clinic where they are curiously unconcerned by his gunshot wound.

Imogen goes through Flat 4 looking for clues about Mary and finds a curious amount of information regarding funerals and graveyards. She later speaks with Jenni and learns that she has just met with Mr Dirt and that George & Ben are involved with the mysterious entity. Jenni agrees to take her there later.

A large number of armed police officers have converged around the building and Imogen decides to take Damocles out to play with them. This ends with both her and the dog being dropped in a hail of gunfire from the trigger happy officers, much to the delight and horror of the watching residents. Immediately a terrible wailing comes from Audrey’s room. Patrick slips out and pulls Imogen’s body back into the Wych House atrium, the police apparently quite unable to see anything so close to the building itself. Jacob eventually pushes the body back out to where it can be discovered and then spends the night cleaning up all the bodily fluids currently defacing the property.

Imogen emerges from a world of mulch and watches as Damocles bursts forth from the body of a rotting rat. They return to Flat 5 leaving a slime trail of footprints for Jacob to clean up. Jacob notices that his skin is starting to turn a pale green and decides that he has finally had enough, he packs his bags and despite Alice’s tears books a ticket to travel to Spain.

Noah is in Newcastle (of course) fixing the last of the recent bureaucratic craziness when he receives a visitor- a certain ‘Mother’ Jones who asks ‘would he kindly’ invite her up for a meeting…

In the Queenless Court, the Duke warns Joyguard that when the new King comes the councillor will no longer be welcome there. Leaving the train they speak with Joyguard asking for an introduction to the Hounding Man in exchange for their investigation into the missing Councillors. Joyguard reveals that the Hounding Man is an immortal killer of particularly grisly method. They clarify that what they really want is a teacher for Amadia so if he can find one who isn’t a murderer that would be preferable.
Joyguard suggests that should they swear themselves to the quest they shall be appropriately rewarded and when they kneel he pulls an improbably large sword from his jacket and dubs them as questing knights.
He asks them to search for the missing ‘Kelly Loboso’ who disappeared shortly after Harry Lime left last week.

Imogen returns home from her long walk with Audrey and after feeding the dogs she heads out to ask the local homeless whether they know about a ‘Mr Dirt’ . One of them mentions seeing a sickly looking woman shouting for him at one of the water features. Eventually she heads to the basement and starts shouting for him there- this awakens the slumbering Bishops and Jacob ambles over to ask for quiet, revealing that the description sounds a lot like Mary. This leads her to spend some time squatting outside George and Ben’s door before the other group gets in. They discuss their respective quests and agree to help one another.

They head down to the Basement and ask it to take them to Mr Dirt. However they instead they are led down a tunnel that leads to a keycard access door open 11-4, Mon-Thurs. Five minutes of hammering the doorbell produces the face of a man who does a double-take at Imogen and slams the door. On consideration she recognises him as one of Mother Jones’ youth. They protest they are minors and can’t be talked to without a responsible adult. When the group protests they claim to have called the police and improbably shortly afterwards a siren is heard in the street above. Jenni looks out through a grate and spots a plaque for the ‘Good Family Institute’. They flee back down the tunnel before the police spot them.

Patrick goes to Mr Ayers’ house to try to make it look like he left the country. Unfortunately he is stumbled upon by Mrs Ayers. This proves to be most unfortunate for Mrs Ayers. He cleans himself up, sets the house on fire, takes Mr Ayers cufflinks and after gloating triumphantly in the mirror he leaves.

In the morning Noah gets a call from Love, Love, Love and Love letting himself know that the Good Family Institute are taking out a restraining order against him. He then calls Mother Jones and after exchanging accusations they arrange a meeting for the next morning. He then calls the hospital where they seem a bit confused about his absence. He decides that he ought to nip back to Newcastle to investigate what is going on and has Amadia send a message to his answering machine to date the event.

Jacob has a conversation with George wherein he agrees that he won’t talk about Mr Dirt (on the grounds that he doesn’t know anything about any such person). George also reveals that they have obtained a gun for home defence. He later discovers that his nails have taken on a rather talon-like quality.

Imogen encounters George coming down the stairs and starts interrogating him for information on Mr Dirt. Things escalate rapidly from this point and shortly thereafter George is bleeding brains down the stairwell and Ben is being beaten senseless by Patrick. Jacob accidentally shreds Imogen’s hand with his filthy talons.
Noah and Jenni take George down to the Basement hoping to get him to a hospital and as they descend he starts back to consciousness with a gasp.

Patrick logs into Ayer’s terminal and mails Frederique to let her know that he will be away for the foreseeable future. He then resets Ayer’s passwords so he will be able to electronically impersonate him for a while longer.

Jenni goes to see Mary about the Twins’ demand. She reveals that the Hand lets you vanish, the Silver pays for any service and the Noose apparently lets you hang ghosts. They discuss how they can possible wriggle out of it. Mary says she needs the Hand to be able to leave – she wasn’t able to pay them off, but not tried giving the Hand back. Mary also revealed she knows more about the box of coke – it seems she took it and tried to use it to pay off the Twins? Mary proposes getting the Silver so that they can use it to pay them off for having stolen things off them. Jenni considers the plan to steal it – Mary will let her use the Hand.

As Jenni leaves Mary’s room, she catches the end of conversation between George and Ben, talking about not being able to buy something.

Noah talks to Amadia about updating the Investigation Board, updating it with information about the Underworld revelations. Works with Amadia to update it – red string is used.

Jacob has a nice dinner with Alice and then is invited to Sunday dinner with Ben and George. Hoping to enjoy a bit of time in a coalition of the sane he agrees.

Patrick talks to some police whilst out jogging and fingers Jacob for involvement in the drugs lab. He goes home and talks with Jenni who spills her issues to him. He advises that murder or arson may solve her problems- business.

Over dinner Ben, George and Mary sit down and discuss with Jacob the importance of getting things done quietly and without fanfare. They then serve him a nice bomb-fragment pie. He makes his excuses and leaves swiftly.

Jenni goes to have a chat with Noah and brings him (and his Investigation Board) up to speed. They decide to visit the Queenless Court on Monday along with Amadia.

On Monday Patrick is picking up Frederique’s work; after chewing out the incompetent Frank he learns that the cleaning staff have been talking about seeing him naked in Mr Ayers office. He arranges a meeting so he can deal with the issue.

Noah learns through his freedom of information requests that the Good Family’s iniiative is sponsored by an American organisation called the New IT. He continues

Jacob comes across John’s sleeping bag again only to find that it contains some sort of mince-human hybrid. This does not go down well and soon the base of the Wych House is spattered with mince and…other effluvia. Fortunately(?) Ben arrives on scene and soon team cannibal is mobilised to clean up the mess. And they might have gotten away from it if not for Noah happening by and being lied to by an unconvincing Ben and a blood-spatted Jacob.

Noah, Jenni and Amadia set off via the basement to find the Queenless Court. On the way Jenni acquires the Hand from Mary. Noah is able to take them through the Basement on to the platform where the Last Train will arrive. Aboard the train however they find that the Regent’s Council has been disbanded due to lack of quoracy. It appears that the members of the council are missing. Amadia is apparently titled as the Knight Protectress of the Wych House.

Patrick is visited by a homeless woman from the train, who bids him permanently kill the Duke of Hazel (John) in exchange for a boon. Apparently she also has information about the Hounding Man. Patrick (thinking Ol’ Pissant dead already) swears himself to the task.

On the train the group are invited forward by the Duke. He appears heavily bandaged on one side and is surrounded by armed heavies. Joyguard is present appearing slightly concerned, though not for his personal safety. The group is careful to declare their neutrality in the matter, but suggest that they may be able to help investigate the missing Regents in exchange for the court’s help.

Patrick heads out to Mr Ayers house and due to the bank’s new security measures Jacob is nearly caught trying to helpfully slip Ol’ Pissant’s foot into his flat, just making it home in time to avoid a face to face confrontation.

It is Friday 15th of July, 9pm.

Two weeks, more or less, have passed since Shirin Karimi herself passed.

It is time for the fourth Wych House Residents’ Association – chaired by Jenni Hanniver.

We skip through most of the meeting, but “Patrick Baynes” is named as the next guest speaker, and then we get to the current guest speaker and Shirin emerges from the darkness. Noah falls off his chair in surprise and shock, and Imogen reacts with anger pushing over the table and advancing on the ghost with a chair. Jenni and Amadia both tries to stop her and when she’s not deterred Amadia hurls a chair, unfortunately this ends up catching on the table and then dropping directly onto Noah’s face.

Shirin tells us that the Wych house is built over a gate to the underworld and that it has opened as a result of her death. She was keeping it closed and was planning to take Amadia as an apprentice to carry on the duty. Now that she’s dead it will take the services of ‘The Hounding Man’ to get the gate closed again.

Following discussion of the underworld Shirin mentions ‘the Cruel Ones’ which piques Imogen and Patrick’s interest who demand first to know more and then that these hostile forces be summoned. Not liking the tapping that starts to echo out of the darkness Jenni quickly wraps up the meeting, but not before Patrick shouts out “Come on you fucks!”, and all is plunged into darkness. As the light flashes we see Shirin screaming silently as she is dragged away by something. Noah and Imogen jump for her but only manage to grab each other. Jenni writes down the names of all the residents barring Old Pissant on the meeting sheet and as the light flashes a final time we see the unfortunate hobo being torn apart by the Red Piper and another hidden force. Then we awaken back in reality.

Noah and Amadia go to hospital to sort out the head wound and are dealt with without too many awkward questions. Jacob scours the Barbican for any sign of John to no result, though when he returns to the which house he finds that the tramp’s sleeping kit is there, stuffed with some manner of meat mannequin, and drawn into the mince (on the section he could see) were a dozen or so small ‘smiley faces’ :-).

Jenni is returned to the Pluto club where she gets on with her sweat and visits La Perfumier to see if she can score some more ‘scent’. Sadly she lacks the Child’s Tears and Pig’s sweat that the occult pusher is seeking. She is invited to meet with the Twins who want her to deliver Mary Stone to them. She pleads ignorance which they respond to with some disbelief.

On the Saturday morning Jacob does some handyman work around the place, including re-clearing the mold under the sink in Flat 4 (which is filled with teeth). Later he is horrified to find Damocles leading Audrey around by a leash. However he’s unable to persuade them that there’s anything wrong with the situation and can’t come up with a way of stopping them.
Noah and Amadia spend their day trying to make sense of recent events.
Patrick is given a list of scutwork by Mr Ayers and heads into the office to sort it out. He has something of a contretemps with his boss which ends with Ayers…gone and his suit now adorning the psychotic banker.

That evening Noah is confronted by Mother Jones who arrives with a posse of adults dressed as youths. She is outraged by his refusal to cooperate despite her kindly asking him to let him into the flat and do other tasks (such as dealing with Imogen after she kicks one of the ‘youths’ down the stairs). Everyone is left baffled as to what the hell that was all about.

The fight breaks up, Patrick and Jenni get an uber to St Thomas’ whilst Jacob staggers home and collapses in bed. A cup of tea and chicken soup are mysteriously presented to him.
Imogen sees Audrey back to bed and retires for a night of drinking and explosives.

In the morning Jenni gets up and asks about Patrick, she is told that he is dead. Meanwhile Patrick is told that he has apparently been declared legally dead some time ago, he takes the news with his usual good grace. He phones Jenni and he picks up new clothes for him before they head home.

Jacob wakes up to find that he seems to have been bloodily sick in the night. He calls his GP’s surgery who refers him on to NHS direct to see if he needs an emergency appointment. He spends the day in hospital, where he is well looked after, but told that his dental peculiarity will require a number of follow up appointments.

Patrick starts work late to find that his absence has been covered for. He later recieves an email from TKIT telling him to ‘Lost £40k and be well’, after some consideration he makes a bad trade.

Jenni spends her day with Amadia and gets to listen to her practice her Clarinet. She tries to work out how to help the piece with her own musical knowledge, but that is then interrupted by events above…

Imogen wakes up with a detonator in hand attached to a half dozen sticks of C4, feeling a black abyss looming nearby she follows a compulsion to pull the trigger…

At around 9pm that night the penthouse of the Wytch House explodes. Imogen runs in terror out of flat 5 and flees the building, whilst a near catatonic Jenni has to be led out by Amadia. Jacob evacuates the building, whilst Patrick ventures upstairs to see what happened to Imogen. He takes in the damage and then as he starts to leave he sees a Middle Eastern figure who promptly vanishes. Shocked he goes to stare out the window.

Below the emergency services show up but they seem unable to take in the Wytch House much to Jacob’s increasing horror and agitation. From his perch Patrick hurls a rock at Jacob, striking an unfortunate nearby fireman. A panicked flight from the building begins, though Jenni and Jacob have to go back in to coax Patrick out of the building.

Over the following week Jacob attempts to determine whether the building can be salvaged, meanwhile Patrick buys up the owning company and directs them to shut down the employee pension scheme.

Imogen finds herself wandering through darkness, eventually emerging into a cavern where she finds three people embedded in the wall, covered in fungi. They tell her that she is in Terdassos. Touching them she finds that they’re actually partly made of fungi.

Jenni comes back to the Wytch house for her record collection and finds that Mary is sleeping in her bed. When she wakes her, Mary reacts with outrage claiming that Jenni had ruined her life, abandoning her when she fell through a plate glass window. She claims that the pair worked together for a year and had talked about moving in. Apparently they were working for the Crays. She confesses to carving Bitch into the bedside table and ‘borrowing’ her records. Apparently they were working a score to acquire 30 pieces of silver from the Twins, the daughters of Ronnie Cray. The twins are looking for the Hand and the Noose with which Judas hung himself.

Patrick finds that he is paying a lot of inheritance tax due to his death several weeks ago…he informs his accountants of his extreme displeasure.

Jacob has more teeth coming through and starts to feel increasingly hungry. He does his best to ignore this and throws himself into fixing the Wytch House.

Imogen passes through a vegetative hellscape eventually emerging from Damocles’ mouth. Damocles welcomes her back in Audrey’s voice whilst the old woman roams around on all fours and eats from the dog bowl.

Jenni heads off to the Pluto Club on friday night and has a chat with the lovable scamp running the joint, he tells her that the Twins might be showing up tonight.

However at 9 that evening (Friday 15th July) they all awaken to find themselves in the fourth residents meeting of the Wytch House.

Jacob wins a staredown with Patrick and Jenni just manages to calm the banker before he throws a punch. The meeting concludes and the doorway to number 3 becomes open. The residents ascent whilst a furious Jacob remains down in the dark, comforted by a familiar presence.

Noah speaks with Amadia who is upset about being confined to the Wytch House and suggests that serving her remaining time might not be the worst thing in the world all things considered…
Noah researches Mother Jones and puts in a couple of Freedom of Information requests that should hopefully be returned in the next couple of days.

The next day Imogen starts making inquiries after the police who were at the hospital.
Patrick begins to covertly (and illegally) invest in the building management firm that runs the Barbican houses with the aim of getting revenge on Jacob.

Imogen goes to a hardware store and buys the parts to build a rope ladder down to the basement. When she gets home there are 4 crates in her hallway containing plastic explosives, detonators an related paraphenalia. There are also GPS coordinates for somewhere in Helmand. She secretes the equipment around her apartment, placing the explosives in her wall-safe. Afterwards she hurls the crates off the side of the building and Jacob, going to investigate is struck by one of them and is rather half-arsedly treated by Noah. Jenni goes to talk with Imogen who reveals the details of the delivery.

After being treated Jacob searches for the culprit and in No. 8 he discovers Mary tucking into a meal of fouled meat. She urges him to join her in eating and he reacts with violent disgust. The sound of this draws the others to the flat and he rants at them for a time before kicking them out so he can ‘clean up’. Once he goes to check Ben and Georges flat, Imogen attempts to barge past and unwilling to allow this intrusion a scuffle breaks out resulting in a very broken coffee table and slightly broken Jacob. The handyman does his best to make the place presentable, but the damage is clear.

Patrick has a rather cold meeting with Mr Ayers who makes it clear that the Mithras cult have ordered nothing bad result from the previous night’s activities. It is clear however that Ayers has not forgotten or forgiven.

Jacob’s friend Len suggest that his dental problem could be cancer, much to the old fellow’s delight.

The residents meet up with Ben and George and give their version of the day’s events. Patrick and Jenni try to sneak up via the basement route but when he opens the trapdoor someone stomps on his face and he falls knocking Jenni off her perch and sending her tumbling back to the basement below. Enraged Patrick tears the place apart looking for Mary, terrorising Ben and George with Imogen’s assistance. They eventually reveal that she stole something related to Judas Iscariot.
Noah goes down to treat Jenni and manages to reset her dislocated arm.

Jacob gets home just in time to hear the couple’s screams of distress and confronts the pair, Patrick, enraged attacks him and the whole group descends into a melee, ending up with Jacob accidentlly booting Jenni as Noah held Patrick pinned on the floor.
