The Homecoming Day Massacre

Missed Valentine's Day, and of course these events actually took place the day after Homecoming, but...

Police engage the fishmen at the front of the parade as the Naval escort comes up in support.

While at the back the Fishmen decide not to attack the High Priestess and acolytes of the Church of Dagon.

The people at the back are just beginning to realise something is wrong.

The fighting at the front is fierce with casualties on both sides.

The fishmen are starting to feel the pressure.

While panic is setting in at the back of the parade. Some people are fleeing, others still don't know what's happening...

A view down Church Street as the fishmen at the back of the Parade start their charge. Most people in the crowd are simply unaware yet what is about to happen.

As the crowd at the back starttrying to get away the lady with the pram is caught...

Totally unaware of what is happening at the back the police and Naval escort chase of the surviving fishmen and start their pursuit.

The crew of the Lovecraft don't realise what is happening as the crowd starts to mill about in confusion - many still haven't seen the fishmen...

They killed Alice!!!

Lovecraft's crew have realised something is up and start towards the back.

One brave lady fights back and shoots a Fishman before being overcome herself.

The vicar tries to call the police and escort back but isn't having much luck.

The fishmen continue to wreak havoc but they are starting to face resistance. The fishman who killed Alice is itself killed, as is one of the crew of the Lovecraft.

As more of the crew of the Lovecraft start engaging the fishmen they decide they've caused enough damage to the humans and break off the action.

At a loss of 5 of their own they killed over a dozen humans, including 2 policemen and one of the Lovecraft's crew. It had proved a hard day for the town of Newhaven.
