Resident Evil: Horizon of Despair

St. Albert’s Church 2nd Floor

Henry was feeling much better, and he smiled as Fleur held the key to the Priest’s office in her hand. “Alright, now we have the full run of the place!” His head was no longer throbbing, and he definitely felt more focused now. The two left the dark nursery, and walked down the hall to the Priest’s Office. Outside the large, solid oak door, a placard read: Father Reggie Bellman.

“I wonder if the priest was here today...” Henry muttered, as Fleur opened the door.

The lack of power and the closed curtains kept the room very dark. Light from the fires outside gave the room a slight orange glow, but the room seemed just hot and empty. Until they were hit by the smell. “Urgh!” Henry said, covering his mouth. “What IS that?”

He stepped inside, noticing something slumped over. “Oh god, it’s the priest. He’s dead.” The body remained slumped over, and Henry took a cautious step towards it. “Oh geez...” he frowned. “Let’s...find that key...and get the hell out of here,” he muttered.

He found it-near the hand of the dead priest. The key to the alleyway; the only clear exit they had if they needed to leave this church. He slowly reached for it-and quickly grabbed the key, taking a fast step away. The body remained motionless.
“Phew, for a second there-”

THUMP

“Urrrghhhhh...”

“Uh, Fleur...” Henry said, gently pushing the nurse out the door. “Let’s...get out of here.” He closed the door behind him. “I think we should tell the police officer we have a uh...a monster up here.”

And now Henry won't die! At least not yet! Huzzah!

Ah, okay.I don't think that concept is ever explained in the games, they just like, combine and... spray... Or eat it like a tic tac xD

Yeah, I thought it'd feel LESS like a game if we actually used them like actual herbs. Haha

Crush/grind the herbs and apply to the area (in this case, Henry's head)

Tbh, i have no idea on the lions part, the lamb bit was pretty obvious. None the less I loved the inclusion of puzzles <3

I love dumb puzzles! (the answer is behind the books, of course)

I promise more complex/weirder puzzles later.

And now Henry sets up Fleur to take the glory and solve the RP's first and most simple puzzle!

Resident Evil: Horizon of Despair

St. Albert’s Church, Second Floor
“Hmm, I don’t remember seeing a lion statue anywhere in the main church. Maybe there’s one in some of the rooms?”

He entered the other bible study room, to find it spare with the exception of some potted plants on the floor. Henry had no idea what they were, but Fleur may have recognized them. Popular handbooks had been released on a certain kind of herb, well, several kinds of herbs which held medicinal effects which became more potent when mixed with one another. Experts researching the herbs put it simply it a botany book released around 1998:

Each herb has different colors and different effects as medical plants: the green one recovers physical strength, the blue one neutralizes natural toxins, while the red herb does not have any effect by itself. The red herb is only effective when it is mixed with with other herbs.

By grounding the herbs into a powder, Fleur might be able to alleviate Henry’s pain, or she could hold onto them in the case of an emergency. The choice was hers, as Henry shook his head and went on into the Children’s Nursery.

The nursery was dark from pulled curtains, but a large bookshelf could still be made out. Henry peered at it; since it seemed to be the focal point of the room. On the top shelf was a picture of a pastoral scene, with Jesus sitting with a flock of lambs.

The other three shelves all had bookends:

-The first shelf had two ornate wooden horse heads as bookends.
-The second shelf had twin lion bookends, both perched on a pedestal.
-The third shelf had two fierce stone dragon bookends.

“Odd,” Henry muttered.

I've been working on a post for a while, just got busy until a few minutes ago. Now the post is in your court! : )

Resident Evil: Horizon of Despair

St. Albert’s Catholic Church 2nd Floor

Fleur had followed Henry upstairs, while the others had either split up downstairs or went into the basement. So far they didn’t have much luck with most of the rooms; the storeroom and the Priest’s office were both locked. “Well, at least three rooms are open.” Henry opened the door to one of the bible study room; warm, musty air filled his head. The room’s ventilation was poor, and the dust and warmth made Henry’s head spin. He grasped a chair for balance as Fleur said something, but the pain in his head drowned her voice out.

“I’m alright,” he muttered. “Just...a little light headed.” He eyed the room, noticing a piece of paper with something down. “Hey, what’s that?”

He let Fleur walk over to it, taking a moment to sit down and let his head stop spinning. On the top of the paper was a small key, with a tag on the keychain. It read: storage! Well, that was something! The note had some writing on it as well:

Father Bellman,

I took the liberty of locking up Johnny Moats’ pocket knife in the storage room. He kept flicking it in bible study, and we’ve repeatedly told him that there’s no place for knives in the lord’s house! His father can get it back after service. I also noticed that you keep misplacing the spare key to your office! I decided to hide it somewhere obvious: I hid it behind where the lions lay with lambs.

Also, I know that you keep the key to the alleyway exit in your office, but can’t you get a door that doesn’t lock both ways? I just worry that if a fire breaks out, people won’t be able to get out!

-Abigail

The door to the alleyway was locked! But, now they knew where the key was: in the pastor’s office! But the question was, where was this spare key? Where did lions lay with lambs?

Henry forced himself to stand up. “Well, want to check out the storage room?”

Rooftop of the Hotel Barum

Delta Team member Maurice Rodriguez eyed the entrance of the city arboretum with the scope of his rifle. “Pretty smart, eh Cap? You got that big metal fence around the place, and then there’s that big fancy glass building for people to sit in. Why the hell do they have a big ol’ greenhouse like that?”

“It’s not a greenhouse.” Evan Simms fixed the rappel rope from the side of the hotel. “It’s some tropical plant exhibit. They keep it enclosed so the weather doesn’t kill the plants.”

“Makes sense...” Maruice took his mark on the rappel rope. “Well, let’s evac us some civvies!”

St. Albert’s Catholic Church, Priest’s Office

Father Bellman’s corpse had laid still for some time now, hunched over his desk in the office, a bible dropped on the floor. His vestments had come loose when he reeled back in the feverish pain from the sickness leading to his death. His face had turned gray and cold alone in the office, even though the room was stuffy and stank of death.

His body laid there for a good bit, when the sound of creaking floorboards in the room next to him caused his white pupil to dilate slightly. One of his bony fingers began to move.
