The Nameless City (Session 76)

 SESSION 76: The Nameless City (2JULY18)

            The mist wanted to eat our souls it seems. This created a challenge that required resolution. Afterwards we made our way into the looming structure that fought the living stone for dominance. Passing through the portal we found a chamber with an ancient altar and a stairwell that descended into the stygian depths. It really did. 2000’ down the infernal stairwell levelled out into a corridor adorned with coffins and murals. The long-lost kings of the serpent people and their stories. Woulda been fine if we didn’t dick with one of their coffins. It released a long dead king of the serpent folk, a brutal mummy that hated humans even more in death than it did in life. We pressed on through an intricately inscribed bronze door. There were more damnable stairs that descended into a cavern of improbable proportion. There, of course, was a poisonous cloud that obscured the contents. Passing through we finally found the Nameless City of the serpent people. Four pyramids, two coliseums and what appeared to be two villages occupied this hidden world.

            The landscape was rocky and fungal crawling with insects of unpleasant size. Just to make it more fun there was also giant primordial reptiles and arachnae. There was a ruined pyramid to the NE that we decided would be the first point of investigation. It was categorically ruined and its sole occupant was a ghost that hated our life. Luck was on our side as we successfully sent the restless spirit to its final rest. Pressing on, we moved to investigate the adjacent village. 

            It seemed to be a place that had been ransacked ages passed. The current residents of the village were the restless dead. We learned this the near fatal way. A spectre ambushed Bunny draining her of so much vitality that she fell into a coma. This brush with mortality forced us to fall back and seek safe harbour. The dried and boulder strewn moat of the pyramid would be our cloister until we could press on, in search of the knowledge that may save our world from the tendrils of madness spreading from dread Carcosa.
