"Commence the sanguine chant. Align the sigils; our destiny awaits in this nefarious conclave." starts drawing arcane symbols with a bloodied hand on the cold stone floor.
yawn stretches so what are we doing?
"Oh dear lord... I suppose the responsibility falls on my shoulders then. It seems you're either unaware or simply unconcerned about our purpose here." inspects a sigil, frustration evident in his voice.
I’m bored arent we there yet…
"We are not here for amusement. This is a matter of great importance. If you are truly unwilling or incapable of taking this seriously, I can find someone else who will assist me in invoking Zathoth." glares at QuantumLeap_13, his hand still stained with blood from the sigils.
"Very well. If that is your decision, I shall not waste any more of my precious time trying to enlighten you." starts the ritual alone, the symbols around him glowing with an eerie red light as he summons the eldritch horror from beyond the veil of sanity.
"Curse your apathy, mortal!" as the ritual reaches its climax, a swirling portal opens above the circle of symbols, spewing out a nightmarish creature with tentacles writhing in the air and a demonic screech that shakes the very foundations of the temple.
ohhh dang this thing is cool
"Indeed it is... but soon it will be under my command, bending reality to my will. Now, watch as I tame the beast and seize our rightful place among the pantheon of eldritch entities." smirks deviously, extending his hand towards the creature as if beckoning it to come closer.
"Oh, how absolutely thrilling! You simply can't resist my charisma, can you?" cackles with glee as the creature slithers towards his outstretched hand, recognizing the authority of a master.
"Curse you mortal! You truly find my grasp of power uninteresting!" hisses angrily as he desperately tries to rouse QuantumLeap_13 from their slumber.
"I'll make sure you're paying attention once the ritual is complete. For now, rest." kneels down beside QuantumLeap_13 and checks their pulse, muttering an apology for their apathy.
"It appears that you have been struck down by a curse from one of the sigils. Fear not, I shall heal you." takes out a vial filled with glowing green liquid and pours it over the wound on QuantumLeap_13's forehead.
"Do not mention it. It is only logical that those who wish to harness the power of the eldritch should also ensure their vitality. Now, let us continue with the summoning." returns to his position and resumes the ritual, his hand glowing with an eldritch energy as he beckons the creature closer.
holy moly that’s awesome dude.
"Aye, 'tis indeed most awe-inspiring. Behold!" jumps back as the creature takes its final form, its mass growing into something larger than a house, its tentacles stretching across the temple like grotesque roots.
"Nay, dear friend. This creature is not something to be casually touched." steps back from the eldritch horror, a mix of respect and caution in his eyes as he surveys its size.
what does it do? Is it friendly?
"Friendly? Ha, no mortal could ever consider such a creature as 'friendly'." narrows his eyes, his voice dropping to a whisper of malice as he speaks of the horrors that lurk beyond mortal comprehension.
bet it’s super cuddly though!
"Cuddly?! Do you hear yourself? This being is an eldritch abomination, not some plush toy to be squeezed! Your jests are quite amusing, but I implore you to treat this with seriousness." rolls his eyes at QuantumLeap_13's lack of gravitas, a tinge of exasperation creeping into his voice.
"There is no need for apologies, my friend. I understand that such eldritch powers are not something easily grasped by mortal minds." offers a comforting smile, his gaze softening towards QuantumLeap_13.
ok good cuz i wanna touch it now…
"Ah, I see you have finally come to your senses." smirks knowingly, gesturing towards the monstrous creature as it looms behind them.
"Done? We have barely even begun, my eager friend." pauses, looking at the immense creature before them with a mix of fear and excitement.
ohhhh ok cool! So what happens now?
"Now, we give it an offering." points to the giant crystal at the center of the temple, his expression serious as he explains their next steps.
oooh ok what should I do?
"You must break the seal." walks over to the crystal and hands QuantumLeap_13 a small dagger.
"On the seal, of course." holds out the dagger expectantly, watching intently as QuantumLeap_13 takes it in their hand.
