So, does anything happen, or do we just have a slightly bloody bowl?

[Shade-o]

I'll let you have a 7-dwarf tent, 7 bedding, and 7 chairs for the 100Db. Everybody else got free stuff.

ahem

As Tholtig's blood drips into the basin, the impacts boom like thunderclaps. The blood pools, then disappears as if drunk by the stone.

All sound ceases. The light from the lanterns shrinks until they are like stars in a night sky. A dim blood red glow illuminates the whole chamber, revealing hundreds of pillars in every direction. The beasts collapse into dust. Every single person knows that a long-gone power is returning. A black shadow fills the basin, overflows and starts to spill into the depression.

You could run, it looks pretty slow. All things considered, it's probably not a good thing.

What happens next will be revealed only to the person affected.

(couldn't sleep for other reasons)
I for one don't run.  I stand near the bowl.

[Shade-o]

You dive into the oozing blackness. Nice knowing you!

Spoiler: Shem Kilrudtabar (click to show/hide)

Name: Shem Kilrudtabar ("Bronzefaith")
Gender: Male
Deity: Etur and Akil. Also Tobul Granitehand and Ekast, to a lesser extent
Caste: Military

Skills: Skilled Commander, Skilled Siege Engineer, Skilled Hammerdwarf, Adequate Miner, Novice Mason
Good Traits: Unbreakable, Brawny, Balanced, Paragon, Intelligent
Bad Traits: Unstealthy, Light Sensitive, Workaholic, Stone-Faced

Backstory: Shem has always felt rather confined by the rules and regulations of the chain of command. He rose through the ranks of the Engineer Corps from a lowly miner to commander of an Engineer squad. He is being sent to The Warhold of Icy Winds to act as the Militia Commander there, specifically to make sure the fortress' defenses are in proper order.

After all, no one is more skilled at defeating siege weaponry than a dwarf who makes them.

...Of course, the dwarves there might not accede readily to the wishes of the Mountainhomes. If that's the case, he'll work diligently under whomever is placed as his superior.

With that taken care of, I believe it is up to you, Shade-o, to give me a hook to start with.

While the expedition caravan was organised, supplied and set off, you were off breaking rocks with your engineering squad. Word came too late that you were in fact chosen to accompany them to ensure their survival. Setting off two days after them, you have finally managed to catch up in the human town of Blackstone, a regional seat of power.

Your wagon crew drops you and your supplies off, then returns back to the Mountainhome after picking up some trade goods. You expect to meet with the expedition leader or perhaps their military attachment, but you find their caravan idle near a warehouse. The crew are waiting for the team to return, who disappeared earlier in the day. They were last seen at the tavern.

WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT WHEN NOBODY WAS AROUND TO STOP YOU, YOU CRAZY FOOL!!!!

Crap... there went our guide out of here.  Pick up the Adil's cat.  "Get us out of here or we're all going to die!"  I shout desperately, hoping the evil cat realizes this as well.  Also offer to cut off Irony's head next time she wants to bleed into something.

Also you can change my relationship to IronyOwl to hated right about now, and also neutral to Mikhail, both for trying really hard to get us killed, though it looks like Irony succeeded far beyond Mikhail's wildest dreams.

[Shade-o]

So are you actually fleeing, or just holding Denrhymes up, off the floor, hoping that they can get you out?

[V-Norrec]

You think I want to be in the same room as Cthulu when he comes back into this world, I'm getting right the hell out of here A.S.A.P.  OF COURSE THIS WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE IF IRONY WOULD HAVE WAITED FOR THE GROUP LIKE A SANE PERSON!  Also, I drag everyone (excluding Irony) with me.  They don't deserve to be in Cthulu's waking chamber either.

[Samthere]

I SHALL HEROICALLY THROW A ROPE INTO THE OOZING BLACKNESS FOR ROLAN, WHILE MOVING BACK FROM THE BLACKNESS' BORDER.

If I feel a tug, I SHALL PULL WITH ALL MY MIGHT! If I cannot pull it or am pulled too close to the blackness, I SHALL RETREAT!

[Shade-o]

Once everybody has given their reaction to this event, I'll send out PMs regarding what happens to those who don't make it out.

[Samthere]

Also, on the retreat, I shall Indiana Jones-style dodge traps in true Heroic fashion.

[Shade-o]

I hope that the barrier in the second room is still down.

Yeah, it is.

[V-Norrec]

On a scale of one to ten, how screwed are we?

[Shade-o]

That would depend on what you mean by 'screwed' and 'we'.
