So I was quietly munching chocolate cake while reading The Dunwich Horror when a noise from outside interrupted my reading. When I stood upon the window I saw a figure drawn across the sky ... a giant star, with a eye in the middle.
"Elder Sign," I whispered.
The door of my room clanged open, a menacing figure stood framed in the doorway. Man shaped, if it indeed it was a man, but for the head full of tentacles ... like an octopus.
"Hng'uathua ngrlg'ngh t'krghu fteghn'uiangh-ikh'raghn." he muttered.
"AAAAAAIIIIIIIYYYEEEEEEEE!" I screamed.
"Ewglu phln'slghn hngl'wi. Krha'gr br'clnuilha wgah'rly'ueh v'glua n'gl." he said, stepping inside.
"AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIYEEEEEEEEEE!" I screamed again.
"Plg'lugn hwahghi shoggoth'hu gnu'ingldyah, hfir'ln plg'luinh ph'thahnl." he added, drawing nearer, tentacles poised to touch my face.
"AAAAIIIIIIIYEEEEEEEE!!!" I screamed and screamed. "I can't understand what you're saying!!!!"
He stopped. And then he said "Oh, Rlyeh?"
He then cleared his throat and coughed hard several times, finally expectorated a huge ball of slime on my TV, which promptly dissolved with a hiss.
"Now that's better" he said, with a voice so heavy and cultured like Jeremy Irons.
"Anyway" he continued while I was at the floor shaking with fear, "I just dropped by to give you this copy of Call of Cthulhu RPG. I need more souls ...erm, I mean players to promote the goodwill Cthulhu.
"-d'rgu krha'grua ph'kalgn?" I gibbered.
"THAT'S the spirit! Keep it up and we'll give you a complimentary membership to the Cult of Cthulhu, and if you're lucky, you might wake up with a claw for your hand" he said. "Now I must go and fly, as Dagon is alone and he might do ...unspeakable things. Ciao!"
And with that, the Great Old One was off, leaving me a copy of Call of Cthulhu RPG in my hands, where it throbbed...
______________________________________________
Welcome to Call of Cthulhu RPG, where things are generally insane. This kind of RPG is ... a little different from your normal hack and slash fanfare, so I'd like to give a little introductory adventure. This Sunday at 2pm at the Hall of Alma, I'll run a short story, probably good for two or three hours with pre-generated characters.
Anybody who'd like to join please reply to this thread, and please choose a character to play.
