MEMORABLE MOMENT OF PLAY.

It’s been hard to top the exit of two players from Eternal Lies.

We’d played Eternal Lies until Chapter two, but unfortunately, three of our players had to take a break, this unfortunately meant the permanent hiatus of Eternal Lies… but it WILL return, one day.

The scene began at the newly opened Griffith Observatory in 1937 Los Angeles. The priest had invited the other players there to discuss a mysterious tome that had been discovered. But instead, they spotted the Priest standing on top of the observatory, holding the book aloft as liquid fire poured down from the book to his arms and face. “We’ve seen too much!”, screamed the criminal stabbing the Psychologist and pulling a pin on the grenade, exploding themselves, injuring others, as the Psychologist’s mental fortress was finally breached, they collapsed to the floor, insensate.

Since the doors opened in 1935, Griffith Observatory has become the most-visited public observatory in the world. The Observatory’s history starts with the vision of one man and reflects the invention, innovation, and inspiration that also characterize Los Angeles.

The Author and Antiquarian watched on with growing horror, as the PI pulled their gun but nerveless fingers saw it drop to the floor in the face of such death and destruction.

Whilst the Psychologist was moved to a secure facility and the others pulled themselves together just long enough to clean up the mess, it seemed fitting that a break of an extended nature was taken.

Much kudos to the players who were leaving for being so enthusiastic in planning their demise, a suitably grand guignol display that will live long in the memory.
