Above or Below it is Carcosa (Session 87)

SESSION 87: Land Ho! (3DEC18)

            Up the ladder we went. For a good long time, until finally we popped out of the ground. On a mountainside ledge, we looked out across a bizarre forested valley nestled in a titanic fossilized rib cage. The green glow of Carcosa’s moons could not even make it weirder. 

We had hoped to rest the night unmolested but things never work that way. A pride of smilodons showed no respect for our recent escape from the dark depths. 

Moving along, there were some forest mummies and then we saved the bride of Yog-Sothoth. Nara a chained naked purple girl (of totally appropriate fantasy age) was awaiting her sacrifice to the Thing, much like her sister before her. Their father is a real piece of work. We gave her some elastic bands to protect her dignity and moved on. Leaving the fossilized valley, we moved through a rocky mountain pass to the next valley. There were yetis and a strange temple of the purple worm. Working our way into the second valley we discovered a partially buried cylinder. Some digging later, Overmind-731 revealed itself to us. A man-sized brain preparing for the arrival of the Collective. Overmind-731 offered us respite for the evening and we accepted. This turned out to be a safe decision.
