OH BABY!
OK, then, here we go with a brief report of Team Theydon's venture further along the coast towards Foulmouth....
Following their encounter with the 'smugglers' in the abandoned fishing village the team were looking urgently for a telephone.
Their recent disturbing discovery of what appeared to be normal local fisherman living alongside strange, mutated fish-like creatures that vaguely resembled man was bad enough.
Couple that with the fact that the creatures in this unholy alliance had tried their best to kill them just about put the icing on the cake!
Could things get any worse?
(

They had searched the area of the abandoned village in the hope of finding some way to communicate their discovery to HQ.
Unfortunately, the place seemed all but deserted for some years, apart from the strangely well kept warehouse, which contained obviously smuggled goods along with evidence that firearms were in abundance in the area....
Could these strange fishlike creatures have formed a partnership with a local smuggling ring?
Well, stranger things had happened, hadn't they?
Having decided that heading back the way that they had come would be pointless, they continued along the coastline in the hope of finding an inhabited place.
After a couple of miles of trekking through the marshy ground that dominated this part of the coast they spotted a lonely church in the distance.
Surely the Vicar would have a telephone, or at least know where the nearest one could be found......if there was a Vicar, of course, and the church had not been abandoned as well.
Fortunately, the Vicar was indeed around.....
Unfortunately the 'Vicar' was not exactly what they were expecting...
....and neither were his his 'congregation'!
The creatures in the church were obviously in the process of removing items from the former holy place as they appeared to be trying to quickly load crates onto a few vehicles that were parked nearby.
As the team moved into the adjoining graveyard, weapons ready, they were quickly confronted by foul robed beings, who moved with a strange hopping gait, and were toting shotguns!
A vicious firefight ensued as the filthy, fishy-smelling creatures moved in, determined to destroy the team whilst the rest of their number attempted to remove the crates from the reach of the Ministry men.
Fortunately for the forces of the Crown the firefight went their way, resulting in most of the strange creatures being blown into ragged chunks of malformed flesh.
The team discovered an ancient looking crate in the graveyard, covered in a mysterious script or alien form of hieroglyphs.
Upon opening the box the team found it to filled with odd tomes in an unknown language and grotesque statues that appeared to be made from gold!
Having killed or chased off those that had sought to stop them, the team set about searching the old chapel....
...unfortunately for them it appeared that the gunfire had been heard as they soon heard the sound of whistles coming from the direction of the abandoned fishing village.
Time to see if they could start one of those cars......
