Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rune" data-source="post: 188216" data-attributes="member: 67">11 May, 2002 Session. Part 2When the building comes to rest for the second time, it is on its side.  Kelly is hanging from the doorway of the room into the hall.  High above him, Jude hangs from the exposed metal supports of the wall—a wall inlayed with incomprehensible symbols.Jude climbs through the hole in the wall, from which she is suspended.  Kelly scrambles around in an attempt to find some way up to that hole.  Eventually, as the building groans and shifts, Kelly climbs a pile of debris and escapes through a hole created by Jude’s unstable determination—and her black leather boot.They are in a large, circular, domed chamber.  It is certainly constructed by humans.  A strange moss grows along the walls, casting a pale luminance all around them.  Jude and Kelly climb down to the floor of the chamber and the hospital slides further into the ground, leaving a crater of no determinable depth.Three tunnels branch from this large room and one archway leads directly into another chamber.  All are illuminated.  They decide to enter the room.  It is merely a quarter of the size of the room they exit, but it is still quite large.  Inside it, they are greeted with the smell of an old cemetery—the smell of moist earth; it is the smell of the grave, of loneliness and solitude.  Several more tunnels branch off from this room, all also illuminated by the unusual moss.Kelly realizes that they will need to map their progress and begs Jude for a scrap of the only paper that they have—a page from her bible.  She is understandably very hesitant to yield this significant tome for such a blasphemous purpose, but a growing sense of paranoia clouds her judgement in the matter.  She tears a page from the concordance in the back and Kelly begins to scribble.They head down the center corridor.  It could just be her imagination, but Jude seems to see patterns in the illuminating moss.  No, they couldn’t be…The path is straight and has no slope.  This is a trait that they are to discover is common to all of the corridors.  They intersect each other many times and the sound of the two investigators’ footsteps, the sound of their breath, and the sound of their heartbeats echo through the hallways, before them and behind them.Eventually, Jude can no longer subdue her suspicion that the moss holds some message.  She takes a long look at the moss and is mildly surprised to see that it shifts into the form of an obscure script.  She is not even sure where she has seen it before.  She cannot read much of it, but some of it speaks of a command to "Turn away," and something about "mortal" and something else about "Great Old" somethings.Kelly wants to deface it.Jude is quick to dissuade him.  "Don’t touch it!""Why not?""It’s shifting, glowing, script of moss.  You just don’t see that every day!"After a very brief pause, Jude and Kelly decide to go the other way.</blockquote>
