Mason shakes his head and goes over battle formations and mathematical algorithms, distracting his mind and dulling his senses in an attempt to subvert whatever is screwing his mind.
((I can haz willpower roll? :3))
((Lets all hurry the fuck up and raid that temple >_> Otherwise we're just going trip flaccid acid-balls until the creature gets us to kill each other.))
(You can continue to fight mental intrusions, but if you keep failing rolls you may end up worse off.You may end up like Erik.Or worse.)
[Will:5] You close your eyes, lower your weapon and concentrate with all your might on ridding yourself of the thing psychically eating away at your brain. "It's not real." You repeat to yourself, over and over, feeling the alien presence slowly evaporating. After a few moments you open your eyes and mesk is just mesk. Whew.
"I'm alright, sorry about that. Lets go."
Thomas focuses upon ridding his body of the hallucinations "So you don't have a lighter?"
[Will:4] You focus on trying to turn the world back right side up and it slowly turns, all the way around to its proper position. Ah, nice.
"Anyone have any idea what effect drugs'll have on hallucinations? Scratch that. Can we hope to replace their hallucinations with good ones?"
Ponder the effects of pills on hallucinations.
[Intuition roll:1-1] Hmmm, yes, pills would make everything lovely forever. Pills are awesome. They'd probably also make your dick bigger and let you fly. God you love pills.
Rather than respond to Milno and possibly tip Mason off, Jim turns and uses the momentum to clock the man in the side of the head with a backhand.
Milno looks behind to see Mason freaking out.
"...Jim, got someone to take down here. We got to knock him out cold for now, but I may accidentally end up spilling his brains out if I try to do it with this suit on. You should try it first."
Knock Mason down if he doesn't come to his senses and Jim is unable to do it.
Milno and Jim, seeing that Mason is back in his right mind begrudgingly decide not to punch him right in his stupid face.
>Jim, Mason, Mesk, Thomas,Elizas, and Milno
With the group now officially done tripping balls you head out toward the temple. You reach the entrance and find it littered with bits of blown apart meat and two corpses. The group falls in around the doorway into the temple and peeks inside
The room is huge, a domed ceiling soaring overhead and pillars lining the walls. There are great murals along the walls, pieced together with thousands of tiny shards of tile. They depict stars, galaxies, planets and moons, great seas of luminance gas and vast darknesses. In the center of the room is a pedestal upon which rests a brass sculpture, an orrery, clearly more decorative than functional. There are three exits from that room. The one straight forward looks like it leads back outside, probably into the area beyond the wall. The other two, left and right, lead off into the rest of the temple.
