The auction begins. There is a lot of bidding going on for the books. OOOOF. During the break, some people heard a noise like a wolf or dog. I didn't tho.
We do some bidding. I try to strategize and flighty bid. I end up with -- #602, and 669.
Literally just a lot of sitting. It's getting dark. The Hound makes more noise. There are a bunch of people going upstairs. Reg follows them. He smells sulfer (he obvs relays this later). Everyone who headed up the stairs disappeared. It startles poor Melvin. Ooof the people are really bidding high.
Lot 666 seems really popular. Weird. I get 669 for $815. But--- the helper who is carrying the book starts gagging and spitting out worms. He collapses. Dwight tries to get the book but he gets sick. Dwight is going down. I try to grab the book - the people are mostly leaving - it's weird - but one of the oil lamps gets knocked over - oil spills - fire - chaos - I get hip checked by one of the American sounding bidder. I grab hold of him. Melvin punches him. Chaos. Bursting through the back door comes a horrible creature that looks like a dog. Has wings growing out of its back. Gives a mournful noise and starts attacking the southern gentleman that I am holding. It can't quite bite him. He drops the book - so I let him go. Monster goes for the southern dude. Dwight and Melvin pass out. I go for the book. The southern dude is like.. pieces. I get the book. The monster is flying after me. I'm really slow. But I make it outside.
I pass the book off to....
