Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rune" data-source="post: 188232" data-attributes="member: 67">11 May, 2002 Session. Part 3The next room that they come across as the walk through the maze of tunnels is a very large hemisphere—or possibly a full sphere—with a floor that is completely lost in a pool of water.  More tunnels branch from this room, but, more significantly, the pale moss-light reflects movement in the water.  Quite a bit of movement, in fact.Jude and Kelly decide not to enter the room.  After traversing more corridors, they find themselves in another circular chamber—this one with no visible ceiling despite the presence of moss-light crawling up the walls further than their eyesight can follow.  Every sound that the two make in this room is amplified and echoes.  The echoes echo.  The very sound of their own breathing travels up the walls and back down again to drown the out their source.  Kelly’s face twitches and the two move on.As they walk down another long pathway, Jude feels compelled to decipher some of the script in the moss again, if she can.She can.  She reads the same message as she saw the last time, but this time, she sees something else: something about "The Faithful of Berea."  It looks like a list of names—a very long list of names.The two move on.  In another circular chamber, they see that the moss along the wall shifts perceptively.  It writhes, even.  Closer examination reveals the reason; the wall is covered with thousands of small, albino spiders, each blocking out the moss-light.Kelly and Jude are retreating from the room before they even discover that the spiders can jump.An unsettling thought crosses Jude’s mind.  "Let me see that map."Kelly shows her his hastily sketched rendering.Her suspicion is confirmed.  The tunnels and the chambers form a symbol that is strikingly similar to a pentacle.She can also see that the corridors that they have not traveled appear to conjoin at two separate points.They choose one and head toward it.  It is another echo chamber—designed precisely as was the first, but with a much smaller diameter, so the echoes are at a far higher pitch than those of the other chamber.  Again, Kelly’s face twitches and they move on.The other point on the map is a chamber that they cannot see.  That is to say, once inside, they can only see a void and thousands upon thousands of stars.  Kelly is interested to see that a new passageway branches from this room, but Jude is entranced by something else, entirely.  None of these stars are familiar.  This room almost seems to be view of the universe from some point other than the Earth.When she can will herself to move, they walk through the last tunnel and into a large chamber, also circular.  A large shape dominates the center.  As Kelly finishes mapping the room, the lines begin to glow and the bible page withers away.  At the same time, stone snakes spring to life on the surface of the large…building…in the center of the chamber.  Other stone shapes can be seen writhing across its face, as well--tracing the outline of a set of doors.The doors swing open and an unearthly chanting rushes out to fill the room around them.</blockquote>
