Nathaniel picks up the key "Did one of you chaps lose this?" he asks the party.

First time here for me, perhaps the locals?

"Ah yes, most likely" Nathaniel slips the key into his pocket "Perhaps it's best to keep it from them."

Banjo

Darrens ears prick up at the sound of the word key but it's just a door-y open-y one. Booooooo!

Nebelwerfer

Bubby calls to the book. "Sha'gal, time to come out buddy...".

"Any chance you can tell us more about the ritual they are 'attempting' to perform?"

Bubby peers towards the commotion using his Sight to see if any otherworldly threats are up ahead.

Fourier

OOC: Unpaused

Fourier

Sha'gal speaks from the book.

"It summons the Ghutuk into the material world. I can guess their plan. He will likely grant them immortality for releasing him. However the mystic cost of such life is thousands of deaths"

Necro

OOC: Woohoo!

'Alright, let's clean out this den of miscreants and defecate on their decaying corpses!'

Cron revs his chainsaw arm and unslings his spear, ready to push forward.

Fourier

Inside the cave, water drips from the roof. In front of him Cron sees the cave tunnel split into two paths, one continuing forward, another veering off to the left.

The chanting comes from straight ahead.

Fourier

The spear speaks to Cron.

"My champion, this will determine your worth. All who wield me are known by the title of Ne, 'hero' in the tongue of those who forged me. You are no longer Cron Minus, but Ne Cron Minus!"

Evade

Nathaniel follows Cron, revolver drawn.

Cron continues straight, spear raised and ready to hurl at the first person he sees.

The tunnel diverges into four paths after about 100'. Going clockwise, they head twelve o' clock, one o' clock, three o'clock, eight o'clock.

The chanting comes from the twelve o' clock passage.

Nebelwerfer

"Any ideas which way?" he asks the group.

OOC: Can I use the sight again, or is it 1 time per adventure ?

Cron turns.

'Twelve o'clock? Hit 'em head on?'

"Lets do it!" Bubby says, holding his fist up to the none chainsaw arm, anticipating a bump.

Bubby swings his sword and cocks his gun.

Bubby can see the clear magical energies flowing from the twelve o' clock passage. Something big is coming.

*fist bumps Bubby*

'Right on!'

Cron heads down the twelve o clock passage.

Banjo

"look, I'm kind of a big deal, I've seen this kind of thing before..."
What's the big bads weakness?
Also : 3

Evade

Nathaniel follows Cron and Bubby down the passage.

Nebelwerfer

"I can see something big is coming our way...".

Bubby attempts to tune into the magical energies.

Fourier

Bubby senses energies that are clearly divine. A god is already entering this plane.

They enter the chamber onto a ledge overlooking a lower chamber where the cultists stand bowing before portal.



Two massive hands that look like tree trunks have emerged from the portal and something is pulling itself out.

The head priest stands in blue robes conducting energy into the gate as others chant....

Necro

Cron throws his spear directly at the head of the head priest.

Nebelwerfer

OOC: Well shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii*

"Sha'gal, I dont suppose you can help push back here... Lots of cultists here, if you fancy a snack!" he says as he taps the book.

OOC:

Bubby stands by to charge as he sees the dagger fly towards the cultists.

Darren runs into the chamber and sees the gate. All the bogus stories he'd been asked to investigate about these on his show. Old portals in the woods and caves.

Wait though! They'd also always said that Native Americans had banished these beings long ago. The equipment for a counter ritual would be nearby.

"Of course, but I need payment for such a service..."

OOC: PM incoming

"You there, chanters" Nathaniel calls out "cease your infernal ejaculations."


OOC: And now everyone knows why I made a character from the 19th century.

Though most remain seated, one of the chanters suddenly becomes erect and offers profuse ejaculations in kind back.

"They come to stop our lords return"

The twelve cultists pull shotguns from their robes...

Banjo

Now I remember.

Remember that old show "Eldritch Elevenses, America's 2nd most haunted breakfast show? "
Of course not - not since I left. Utter bull****, I barely grazed her boob and it was only the side of my penis, total pc gone mad nonsense. Anyway how can it be sexual harassment if I find her attractive? The important thing is that my severance was more than her settlement, but also the redsk- uh- Native Americans banished these beings long ago. The equipment for a counter ritual should be nearby.

Evade

Nathaniel prepares to fire.

"Whatever payment you ask of me, consider it done. We must take care of more pressing matters."

Bubby puts a finger on his head, clearly making an effort in straining his braining to perceive beings otherworldly.

He shoots up, as if he had an epiphany.

"Dwarves at three O'clock? Something, with a director and a cock?".

Bubby looks befuddled as he tries to make sense of this.

Fourier

As they do, Cron's spear flies into the head of the head priest, killing him instantly. The portal flickers, the being within slips a bit, do still grips the gate with one hand.

"MASTER!!!" the rest scream.

In rage the cultists turn their shotguns on Cron, who Gun Katas out of the way of incoming shotgun fire.

They begin to reload.

OOC: Is the spear back with me? If so how are they lined up in formation, could I try to hit two with one spear strike basically?

Cron narrows his eyes, revs his chainsaw arm once and flings his spear again, aiming for the closest pair.

'Guys.... a little help here maybe....'

Bubby looks befuddled as he tries to make sense of this.

Darren recognises the phrase "Director and a cock" from his B-movie "Can you fit this on screen?"

Fourier

Cron flings the spear, impaling another two before he flips into the air, the spear teleports into existence, he grabs it and impales another through the mouth on the landing.

Evade

Nathaniel attempts to shoot the nearest cultist.

OOC: 11, two sixes if that makes a difference.

Nebelwerfer

Bubby looks around to see if in his immediate vicinity someone or something is in range that he could fire at with his shotgun.

The thought occurs to Darren that something important lurks down the three o'clock passage. He gets images of...that night...the attack

Banjo

"ok, well you all seem to have this in hand"
Darren saunters off in search of Dwarves?

Fourier

Cron, Bubby and Nathaniel shoot, blast and impale the cultists in short order with only one managing to slightly cut Bubby's arm.

A pool of blood flows to the center of the room and pools.

The tree entity is desperately trying to pull itself free.

Sha'gal speaks to Bubby.

"The kill you've just made, I can manifest. Place the book on the pool of blood and I will seal the gate for you"

Bubby does as Sha'gal advises and takes a few steps back.

He notices Darren depart for dwarven pastures and intends to follow him there.

Darren enters the three o'clock passage where the cultists seem to have a beast caged.

A beast of red flesh and black horns rising from its head. The beast from the night of the attack.

"HELLO DARREN" it grumbles while grinning.

Evade

"Wait, what are you doing I am bound to that book"
