They walk serene and primal, undimensioned, and to us unseen. Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where they shall break through again. ...They walk unseen and foul in lonely places where Words have been spoken and Rites howled through at their Seasons. The wind gibbers with their voices and the earth mutters with their consciousness." OK, for Mr. Underhill...  The Ring is a manifestation of Yog-Sothoth's will; the circular shape a representation of the 'all-in-one' nature of the deity/alien. When Drogo 'goes invisible' he's actually twisting out of third-dimensional space and ascending to about the twelveth or fifteenth; his essence is so 'scattered' that he seems invisible because light can't interact with him anymore. He sees the landscape as a twisted melange of light and color, as his organic eyes tries to make sense of something that cannot make sense.  This was what drove him crazy in the first place. He has a veneer of civility and jovialness, as do all the people who go to 0 San, but it's just a facade. At night he scampers off into the hills to scream prayers to the nightflying gods, etc.  'Sam' has found that life with 'Rosie' isn't what he thought it would be. When his buddy Drogo drags him to a hilltop and makes him put on The Ring, Sam's mind snaps and he 'realizes' she'd be better off as a plant. So he infects her with a variant of Yellow Musk Creeper and turns her into a plant/zombie. It grows inside her, so it's not really visible, but she's taken to laying in the sun nude, she's been found runing her hands through the dirt, moaning, etc. She's fed her children the yellow musk as well, and they've Turned.  Drogo on the other hand is more than a little fond of his younger cousins Frofo, Marry, and Poppin. At various times, he's slipped the Ring on them and shown them the glory of his new master. Now they didn't retain their minds as much as he did, and they have to be kept on a short leash so to speak, or they go off and do horrible things with no thought of secrecy. Drogo retains his old fascination with elves, and indeed he likes them even more. Baked into a spiced mince pie.  You might want to rent 'Dagon' and watch that. Have most of the little village in on it. They smile and nod and as soon as the party separates they're on them like pit bulls. They knock them out, herd them into cages, and then start sharpening farm implements.</blockquote>
