Two sessions are now down and the PCs have just left the house by the front door, herding a crowd of refugees from Awful Things down the street to the nearest church. That's where we ended the session.

There are still people in the house, but the PCs are fairly confident that the ones who are left there are more perpetrators than victims. At least they have unsavoury reputations as young rakes with more money than sense and appear to have been dabbling in occultism, not to mention sexual shenanigans, lawbreaking and possibly even murder.

Well, actually, there might still be some victims in the house, but the consensus among players was that saving the ten they knew about was more important than risking horrible fates for those ten while looking for 3-5 people who were most likely already dead.

They mean to return to the house after they have found some save haven for the ones they have saved. And possibly they will also pick up some new weaponry, as they are running out of 8-bore cartridges for the Greener they looted from Dr. Stanley's gun cabinet. The Burton-expy PC is Wealthy and has some shiny hunting guns in the travelling gear he keeps at his current residence*, possibly better suited for town house room-to-room clearing.

Dr. Stanley did have, apart from the Greener double-rifle, two Martini-Henrys, a fancy new Lebel, a single-barrel ten-gauge colonial shotgun loaded with lion shot and a couple of nice bird doubles**, so it's not as if they are unarmed, though. They also have pistols and whatever they cared to grab from the wall of the trophy room, which had a nice collection of "primitive tribe" weaponry and even some genuine archeological treasures.***

*Which is either a hotel, if there are any suitable ones for a couple of months stay in London before the opening of the Savoy, or a rented furnished apartment.
**Not taken by the PCs yet, as at least one of them was a choked Greener double and they were 12-gauge, for which the only ammo available was bird shot.
***Chiefly from Egypt and Africa up the Nile from there.
