    "Yeah yeah, let me get my gogglesss on..."
    He groggily comes to.
    The others keep back.
    "Wait for Thorn to scout out the threat before you go plowing into it!"
    Shouts Sklod.
    ((This would go in the prologue))

    It seems they've noticed you as you draw near the dim glow of their camp. It would not be hard to avoid detection, as it is quite dark. You could easily just remain quiet and still, and they'd likely pass right over you.

    Then you catch wind of something upwind of you, coming from the direction of the city...

    Feral Shoggoth...

    "Then get his leafy ass in gear!" He slows his approach and takes his time, loading three slug shells and swapping to that cylinder.

    Ron grumbles something about hesitation and slows to a walk. "I'd rather not be caught waiting!" He calls back.

    The creature growls at the smell of the shoggoth, right now all that matters is getting a meal.
    It crouches low and stays completely still for a while until its confident that its been overlooked, then it slowly moves towards the camp looking for anyone isolated enough to attack without drawing attention.

    ((Here's some music for you all: ))
    He eventually comes out with his goggles on, scanning the horizon...
    "I can't see anything out of sorts like this... Wait... I'm detecting two signals... One vaguely humanoid, the other... I'm not sure... Amorphous blob, but moving... Definitely organic..."
    One draws nearer than the others, but it seems you've been spotted...
    The shoggoth is drawing close...
    You'll have to move soon if you want to avoid getting devoured...

    The creature panics, it can't miss another opportunity to eat.
    It moves as close as it safely can without appearing hostile, before lashing out at the stray being with both body and mind.

    Before you can do anything, you feel a splitting headache, before something tackles you to the ground...
    You're able to stuggle it off with ease though, revealing itself to be a strange cephalod creature in tattered rags...
    It looks increibly malnourished...
    [​IMG]
    You manage to deliver a psionic blow, but are unable to properly pin them in your weakened state, and they easil throw you off...
    The shoggoth is nigh... Perhaps you could use this to your advantage...

    The 'cephalod' lashes out once more at its victim, then attempts to worm its way into the shoggoth's mind and direct it towards the humanoid.

    ((Probing its feeble mind is easy, but you'd need a physical link to suggest it))
    Your claws snag in the clothing, but you cannot bring the strength to pull it out...
    You hear its horrid cry...

    It attempts to throw off Malcom's aim by lashing out mentally and diving towards the shoggoth.

    Another ringing headache throws you off, and you clip its shoulder instead.
    Thankfully, that gets it to scramble off...

    You all hear a mind chilling cry... (including Demina)

    You feel just a bit of your sanity slip...
    ((Check the doc for current status))
    They miss and strike your shoulder, but this mental expenditure is exhausting you...
    It's small, but still much too large to be able to safely link with it...
    You are immediately regretting your decision to rush towards it...

    Despite the risk the creature launches another mental attack, this time at the shaggoth, and the grabs onto it while attempting to dominate its will.

    "Thorny! Can you see it?!" Malcolm tries to keep the creature in his sights.
