YOU save the entire Universe!
You step into darkness. An etherial drone fills the crypt, probably caused by some effect of the wind. You look around. A stone box sits in the middle of the room.Nightmarish symbols and statues adorn the walls. To the left of the coffin there is a dark hole with stone steps leading down.
#Decend#
You walk down them, helplessly staring about. Why would your mysterious masters want you to come here?
The drone grows louder and is joined by the clash of daemonic instruments carved of bone and the devilish strains of an organ constructed only to play dischord. This is no ordinary crypt!
Before you is a subterranium temple. The congregation is made up of some thirty cloaked acolytes with bloody goats heads as masks. At the front is an alter made of a material so black that the light from the blood red torch flames drops into it never to return. And behind the alter is a being from your worst childhood nightmares.
The creature is some nine feet tall, it's bulky torso surrounded by writhing tentacles like great black worms. It's head is a huge distorted mouth lined with needle like teeth. No eyes. No nose. Just teeth. A long tongue snakes out, and at the tip is a small head. The head of a beautiful woman...
"Welcome home," she says in a voice like broken glass," The ritual is almost complete. Our manipulations have brought into being a champion. One who will now do our bidding."
The daemonic music reaches a crescendo as the tongue stretches to an impossible length, bringing the female face to your own. She opens her mouth and a black vortex rises from her throat and envolopes you in a whirlwind of dark light.
Is this it? Can this really be real? Are you doomed to become a slave of forces you never even believed existed?
