Rhu stares at Amadi some more, then turns around to see if he can see anything else.
Rhu absentmindedly reaches up to take the stone off his head and puts it on the table.
Amadi reaches out to pick up the stone.

Amadi hands the sandwich to Rhu. To him, it appears merely as a darker smudge against her odd brightness.


 
Rhu pokes at the sandwich smudge.
 
Gaurav: DM: Amadi handed Rhu a sandwich. Could I see the sandwich, or just her empty hand? And did I see the Greibel-shaped outline put his hand on my shoulder and then shout in my ear?
Apheori (GM): Just to be clear, the outline did say blaaaaargh.

Gaurav: Ellemerr: did you perception that rock I took off my head? It might be another one of those rocks-with-shapes-on-'em things we've been correcting!
Rhu pokes at the gap between her fingers, running into the mask with his hand as a result.
Apheori (GM): Now I want ice cream.
What did you do with the rock?
(From Amadi): I have no idea what the mask does. In my head it might make him see things like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKpYXkcVJGs

Rhu feels it, realises that it's a mask, and tries putting it on the wrong way around. He turns it around and puts it on properly. Suddenly he can sort of see, but everyone looks like muppets. And there's a sort of weird mould everywhere. Everything looks hairy.
Gaurav: If the mask doesn't magically twist itself around to conform to my face, I'll try it the other way around.
 
Apheori (GM): It doesn't do anything weird. Yet.
Amadi nods and looks at the stone. It's one with a contagion symbol on it.
Radek pats George on the back. Softly - he couldn't make much of an impact even if he tried.
Apheori (GM):
AMADI
The rock had the symbol for contagion on it.
Ellemerr: Delightful!
Who had the other rocks?

Rhu tries to walk to the bar by using the mask.
 
Gaurav: Is that an easy enough thing to do or should I roll something?
Rhu tries to walk to the bar by using the mask. ''(rolled 11 reality)'' He winds up walking right into it and bouncing off. Apparently his depth perception with the mask is a bit off. And bouncy.
Apheori (GM): d20
 
Gaurav: Also: huh. Is the blackberry syrup still pretty fresh?
He catches himself ''(rolled 23 acrobatics)'' and tries again. This time he walks partway through the bar. ''(rolled 7 reality)''

Gaurav: I have rock-with-bird and rock-with-tree.
Apheori (GM): Do you keep an inventory in your journal?
Gaurav: Your inventory says "Two shiny stones"
Bear Soup Guy: Oh, so it does
So I guess I do have two, then
What was your original question? XD

This time you go to the counter and it seems like you walk through it partway.

Rhu tries to catch the barkeep's attention, and tries to buy a beer with the coins they'd found in the lab.


The barkeep accepts them, seems surprised, mentions something about Auberdeen, and gives Rhu a beer.


Rhu stops, then quickly walks backward, a little embarrassed to be messing with the laws of physics. He checks to see if Radek is pissed off with him for doing this, but he seems to be pretty involved with his conversation.
There's a loud screeching noise outside. It sounds like the bard Gravy removed earlier.


GREIBEL
The Gravedigger gets up to go check it out.
(To Amadi) Mind if I pocket that away with the others?
Ganelon: "Hey, Rhu! Stop violating natural laws!"


RHU
Meanwhile Rhu tries to approach the bar again and pick up his beer. ''(rolled 2 reality)'' This time he walks entirely through the bar and his beer. This time the innkeeper notices, and backs away.
For future reference (i.e. put this in your inventory!), Greibel's two stones have a stylised mask and a dragon on them respectively.
Gaurav: "Sorry Radek! Walking around in a mask while blind is hard!"
Amadi shrugs and takes out her sandwich, eyeing the wiggly bit suspiciously.
Gaurav: err that last was ooc
Bear Soup Guy: Got it
Bear Soup Guy takes the stone, examines it a bit, then stuffs it in the pack with the others
Bear Soup Guy: err IC
Ganelon: Did I have a stone?
I don't think so, but if I'm supposed to, it's not written down.
Apheori (GM): They probably have all of them, then.
Ganelon: Alright then.


GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
Rhu apologizes profusely and accidentally ends up on the wrong side of the bar.
Great. I'll be here.
Gaurav: Yeah, I think it was just Greibel and me collecting stones like it ain't even a thing.
Heh. "I'll be here" is such an RPG I'm-out-of-things-to-say line. I assume every time we try to talk to George he'll say something like "Come back tomorrow so I can take you to the Hole nearby."
Rhu tries to catch the barkeep's attention, and tries to buy a beer with the coins we found in the lab.
Bear Soup Guy: Gaur: XD
Radek stands up and glances about the room, surprised to see it still in relatively undamaged condition.
Ganelon: What's Gravy doing?
Frezak: DUnno, I'm just about to leave.
Won't be back 'till an hour or so.
Apheori (GM): The barkeep accepts them, seems surprised, mentions something about Auberdeen, and gives Rhu a beer.
Ellemerr: I sort of have an appointment I should be leaving for, too. But how long are we intending to go on anyway?
Gaurav: I can play for exactly two more hours, and then I gotta go listen to a man about a genome.
Ellemerr: Exactly two hours? So at... ten to half whatever-it-would-be-over there...
Gaurav: Yup! Class starts at half-past. I am consistently late to this class, but since I bothered to get up in time to get to school in time for D&D, I can actually be there five minutes *before* it starts instead of ten minutes after.
Ellemerr: Right. xD
Well... Amadi is likely to disappear at some point. But since this is nothing new...
Apheori (GM): Indeed.
Would Gravy go to bed or something?
Alternately... I dunno.
You guys sort out how you're handinling this.
Ellemerr: He could go on being completely silent.
Doing the thinking thing. Gan has a picture.
Ganelon: Oh yes.
Apheori (GM): He's a good thinker.
Ganelon: http://www.artofmtg.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Pensive-Minotaur-Art.jpg
But in this continuity he's not a minotaur, sadly.
Gaurav: I'm going to be completely missing next week, so we should probably just power on through people's missing times. Otherwise we're going to have to stop a lot.
Oh, and you can keep going after two hours. Rhu can be wandering around behind you all with his new favourite mask.
Apheori (GM): Well, Radek found you all something to do.
Ganelon: Indeed, though we've got a day before we can do it. Or at least the remainder of one.
Radek himself is probably just going to work on the "fix holes without giving myself a nightmarish migraine" problem until then.
Gaurav: We should sleep at some point. Especially Gravy, if he really did use a Daily just then with the bard.
Ganelon: Daily item power. It's not nearly as big of a deal.
Gaurav: We could camp outdoors. Gives us a chance for random encounters and suchlike.
Ganelon: In fact, Radek's an artificer so he can recharge those for people.
Apheori (GM): You hear a bit of a screeching from outside.
Gaurav: Oh, okay!
Apheori (GM): In relation to the bard.
Gaurav: Do we have anything else we need to do in this town? We could just walk around and see if something comes up.
Bear Soup Guy: I'm sure there's something we need information about
Ganelon: The bard!
Wait, is this just his usual screeching or is he a zombie now?
I mean, we should probably shut him up regardless, but it's important to know.
Apheori (GM): Probably the usual.
Gaurav: BSG: I'd still like to know where we are. Actually, I'd still like a beer, so ...

INT. Horrible nightmare realm
 
Rhu finds himself in some sort of basement. It's kind of nightmarish. There are some tables and a vaguely cylindrical thing with some angles and a prism shape at the top. With some glowing bits. Also weird vials and tanks and stuff. Grotesque things poke out of walls.
 
He manages to land on his feet. They're very hairy. Hairy muppet feet. Then beer rains down on his head, so he tries to catch some of it, except then he realises he's no longer holding the glass. ''(rolled 25 acrobatics)''


RHU
RHU
He--
Um. Um. Okay.
Rhu vanishes through the floor, arms flailing wildly.
 
Ellemerr: Spilling beer everywhere?
Rhu ignores his feet for now, and stares about the basement. ''(rolled 31 perception)'' Everything is really hairy. And weird. And full of strange experiments. It's like a nightmare, and oddly organic. There don't seem to be any ways to get back upstairs, aside from perhaps a chute on the far wall, barely big enough for a man.
Apheori (GM):
 
There are also no doors, or at least nothing recognisable as doors. Given how the walls look almost like membranes, it's a bit hard to tell. There's also a sort of mesh screen looking out on utter blackness on one side. And a bowl of noodles sitting in the middle of the floor.
 
Something snakes out of the floor and grabs a noodle. It looks like... more floor. ''(rolled 25 nature)''
 
Rhu takes his mask on and off to see if that helps any, but without it he can't see a thing. Everything is just a horrible white.

Gaurav: oh ffs
Apheori (GM): You don't get very far.
Rhu looks up to see if there's any light at the top of the chute. "Hello?", he whispers, "Is someone up there?"
Apheori (GM): Do the rest of you want to do anything?
Ganelon: Er...
Apheori (GM):
RHU
RHU
Silence. Then, in a long low whisper, "Rhuuuu..."
(whispering)
Bear Soup Guy: Do we hear him calling?
Hello? Is someone up there?
Apheori (GM): Nope.
 
Bear Soup Guy: I assume we're all just thinking "Oh, Rhu's in trouble again. He'll show up in a couple hours."
Silence. Then, in a long low whisper:
Apheori (GM): XD
 
Gaurav rolls eyes
SOMETHING HORRIBLE
Gaurav: This is what comes from accepting masks from godlings. Let that be a lesson to you, kids.
Rhuuuu...
Rhu will NOT respond to the voice, but will try to determine which direction it's coming from.
 
Ganelon: Radek will stay in the tavern so long as it's a relatively orderly place to sit down and think about complex theorems.
The voice is low and sweet, like a fungus that eats flies. Except these flies are horrible and huge, and the fungus is actually something else entirely.
Rhu:
 
rolling d20+14 perception check on the voice
Rhu pointedly does not respond. He realises the voice is being projected from above the chute, but it's not actually coming from there. He doesn't know where it's coming from. ''(rolled 34 perception (natural 20))'' He feels a strong urge to remove the mask.

He resists, and sits quietly at the base of the chute, his eyes flicking first upwards and then quickly around the room, waiting to see what happens next.

There's some more screeching from outside.
Ganelon: It's as good a place as any, especially if he's waiting on Rhu to come back.
 
Ellemerr: ... You sure that's a good thing to roll high on? :P
Amadi takes Greibel's hand and attempts to walk him outside without giving any explanation for her actions.
Apheori (GM): The voice is being projected from above the shoot, but it's not actually coming from there. You don't know where it's coming from.
 
You feel a strong urge to remove the mask.
Greibel tags along exasperatedly.
Gaurav: I'm kinda hoping that Rhu can go all "hmm, that slightly thick edge to an otherwise normal Thoraci accent tells me that you are male, elf, 23-25 years old, with brown hair and carrying two weapons, injured in the knee in Afghanistan ..."
 
RESIST URGE
Radek ignores it and gets to pondering. Fist-inside-beard hardcore PONDERING.
Apheori (GM): Gan: The tavern is orderly and fairly quiet. it's like folks are just basking in the quiet.
 
Bear Soup Guy: XD
 
Gaurav: Gravy is wandering around taking people's measurements "just in case".
EXT. Dorgin, outside the inn - night
Apheori (GM): Oh, details about the voice itself, eh? It's low and sweet, like a fungus that eats flies. That's what it reminds you of. Except these flies are horrible and huge, and the fungus is actually something else entirely.
 
I like that. Since Frezak had to go, let's say Gravy really is doing that.
Amadi goes to the bard. He's standing in a deep grave screeching like a harpy. In the screeches, there seems to be a tune, but it's vague.
Gaurav: Like treacle.
 
Apheori (GM): Folks in tavern: Sometimes you hear an odd screetch from the bard outside.
The Gravedigger appears to have gone back inside.


AMADI
It sounds oddly familiar.
Ellemerr: What, the bard?
Ganelon: This tavern is just waiting to explode into conflict.
Apheori (GM): Yeah.
Ellemerr: Okay, I can check on the bard.
Ganelon: But I will savor the momentary peace and sit down to think.
Fist-on-chin hardcore PONDERING.
Apheori (GM):
AMADI
You need to take Greibel with you.
Ganelon: Well, more like fist-inside-beard.
Apheori (GM): PONDERING.
Do you ponder anything in particular today?
Gaurav: Some day we will know the quiet peace of a pipe and a pleasant conversation in a sun-lit bar by a mountain, but today is not that day.
Apheori (GM):
RHU
What do you do?
Gaurav: Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Amadi takes Greibel's hand and attempts to walk him outside without giving any explenation for her actions.
Gaurav: omigosh there is a list: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Pinky_and_the_Brain#Are_You_Pondering_What_I.27m_Pondering.3F

You go to the bard. He's standing in a deep grave screetching like a harpy. There's supposed to be a tune there.

Rhu sits quietly in the chute, his eyes flicking first upwards and then quickly around the room, waiting to see what happens next.
''My name is Lon Chaney
Apheori (GM):
''I was in some movies
AMADI
''You probably remember me for my hideous face...
Do you sing the song the tune would go to?
 
GREIBEL

You know what you get when you juggle bananas?
Ellemerr: I do.
Amadi juggles bananas.
Amadi juggles bananas.
Ellemerr: I mean...
 
"No, what do you get when you juggle bananas?"
Greibel suddenly turns into a gorilla wearing a pink tutu. This messes up the singing slightly.
Greibel sings: "My name is Lon Chaney / I was in some movies / You probably remember me for my hideous face..."

Amadi also sings the whole circus music bit that's supposed to go with this. It includes a lot of trumpets and stuff.
Apheori (GM): This messes up the singing slightly.
 
Ganelon: Yes, Radek ponders what he's been pondering for the last few days. How to close a hole.
Greibel twirls hula hoops as a gorilla while singing.
Apheori (GM): Roll arcana.
 
Ganelon: Something about three pieces and a lock, as I recall.
The previously screeching bard shrinks back into the hole and goes horribly silent.

The attempt fails, and whatever it is hears him as he tumbles out. ''(rolled 9 stealth)'' He feels it. In his kidneys.
 
Rhu freezes, then pauses mid-freeze, looking confused.
 
He steps quietly away from the chute.

Gaurav: He was trying to climb down that last time.
But I guess he might have changed his mind?
Apheori (GM): Oh, you idn't need to roll for that.
Sorry, you're back in the basement.
Everythng is hairy.
Everythng is hairy.
Gaurav: "Everythng is hairy." should be the official motto of this game. And it looks like Frezak is back?
 
Is there anything in the basement I can hide behind if a sinister being comes down the chute after me?
Rhu hides behind a hairy table.
Apheori (GM): Frezak is hairy.
 
Some desks, a strange... thing...
The hairy table blinks at Rhu and looks vaguely surprised.
Frezak: Not really, I shaved.
Gaurav: describe thing
Apheori (GM): Shaved EVERYTHING?
Gaurav: Or just the yak?
Frezak: As far as you know.
Apheori (GM): Thing is vaguely cylindrical with some angles and a prism shape at the top. There are some glowing bits.
IT looks a bit organic.
Gaurav: Hmm.
I'm going to go hide behind the desk and see what happens.
Apheori (GM): And it's hairy.
Rhu hides behind the hairy desk.
The hairy desk blinks at Rhu and looks vaguely surprised.

Gaurav: How does a desk blink?
Shh.
Apheori (GM): The desk opens a few more eyes and those blink at his finger as well.
 
Frezak: A GORILLA?
He puts a finger to his lips.
Ellemerr: Yeah. Sue me.
 
Ganelon: This whole situation has turned quite hairy.
The table opens a few more eyes and those blink at the finger as well.
Apheori (GM): >.<
 
Ganelon: We're going to need a rugged hero to pull through on this one.
Rhu crouches behind the table and waits, listening intently. ''(rolled 23 perception)''
Gaurav crouches behind the desk on the side away from the chute and waits, listening intently.
 
Rhu:
He hears whispers from the black beyond the mesh lattice, and from behind some walls/membranes. Some are saying his name. Others... other things. It sounds like they've found something. Lost other things. Having lunch. Very sinister.

Frezak: WHere's Gravy?
Ganelon gasps in horror.
Apheori (GM): Gravy is in the tavern with Radek.
Ganelon: You and I are still- yeah.
Radek is doing some fist-to-chin hardcore pondering about holes.
We did witness Rhu start passing through solid objects, and then the floor.
This might have been Amadi's fault, but then, that isn't saying a lot.
Apheori (GM): She did give him a mask.
Gaurav: Are the voices coming from the chute as well?
Apheori (GM): It's messing with his depth-perception. In perhaps a few too many dimensions.
The voices are mostly coming from the black beyond the mesh latice, and from behind some walls/membranes.


RHU
RHU
(whispers, to the desk) Do you hear that too?
(whispers, to the table)

Do you hear that too?
I love this game
 
Apheori (GM): The desk rumbles and opens a few more eyes.
The table rumbles and opens a few more eyes. It's somewhat covered in eyes now.
It's somewhat covered in eyes now.
 
Gaurav: A small drawer slides open, revealing pencils, erasers, two paper clips, three eyes and a pair of lips.
Rhu gives the table a knowing glance in whichever eye is closest to him and does the "shh" hand gesture again. Then he goes back to listening quietly.
Apheori (GM): Rhu's still hiding?
 
Rhu gives the desk a knowing glance in whichever eye is closest to him and does the "shh" hand gesture again. He goes back to listening quietly.
The eyes all intently follow the movement of the gesture.
Apheori (GM): The eyes all follow the movement of the gesture intently.
 
Gaurav: When you say "hairy" ...
Rhu goes back to listening and waiting.
Apheori (GM): Everything is covered in hair.
 
Including the eyes.
Some 10-15 minutes pass. A tank and a wall fixture also open several eyes and watch him. Hairy eyes.
Gaurav: Do you mean furry, short human hair, or long(er) human hair?
 
Gaurav screams
Rhu gets out from behind the desk and walks around the room, looking closely for doors or any other way out of here. He finds nothing, and so tries to separate some wall membranes with his fingers to see if it responds to touch, and to see what's underneath them.
Apheori (GM): It's like fur, but all at exact right angles to the surface, unless it collides with other bits.
 
Gaurav: Or like bacterial cilia?
The membrane peels away under his nails he poke a finger through. There doesn't seem to be anything behind it, just empty space.
Heh cool
 
Is it coloured?
He makes the hole bigger and peels back a section of membrane. Behind it is another room very much like the one he's in. A wall eyes him. Literally.
Apheori (GM): It's the same colour as whatever it's coming off.
 
Gaurav: Is it undulating? Is there a wind?
He pulls the membrane back more and rips open a medium-sized hole which he might be able to fit through if he forced it. ''(rolled 15 strength)''
Apheori (GM): It normally stays still.
 
Sometimes bits pass through the floor, and it all moves like wind is pushing it...
More eyes in the wall watch curiously.
Sometimes those bits eat noodles out of the bowl.
 
Gaurav: Ooo, nice.
Something licks his foot.
Yeah, Rhu goes back to listening and waiting.
 
Apheori (GM): Gravy: Do you care that everyone besides Radek is missing?
Rhu ignores the footlicking and squeezes through the hole. ''(rolled 27 acrobatics)''
You know Greibel and Amadi just went outside.
Ganelon: "Roll Charisma to care. +2 alignment bonus."
Gaurav: What time of day is it, btw?
Apheori (GM): I guess evening.
Gaurav: I'm imagining afternoon, but I might be wrong.
Ah thanks.
Apheori (GM): Early evening, then.
Gaurav: Somebody do something, or Rhu is going to get back to hogging all the attention.
go*
Frezak: Not really.
Gravy has come to terms that all kinds of shit happens regardless of his desires or actions.
Might as well have a shirt that says 'Fukkit"
Ganelon: I don't mind Rhu hogging the attention, especially since I'm quite busy elsewhere.
And it does make sense that Radek is trying to puzzle out holes.
He just promised to fix one tomorrow.
Apheori (GM):

Apheori (GM):

So the question, perhaps, is pieces of what? What does it take to close a hole, really? And for that matter, what does it take to open one? The question to one should be the answer to the other...
Of course, if you could just make a lack of hole, something with no hole at all, well, wouldn't that be great?
Or something.
Ganelon: I'm not about to discount the possibility.
Gaurav: Can we learn anything from Gravy's monster that fought with the thing that came from the Hole?
Ganelon: "Behold! I have created... stuff!"
Apheori (GM): Point is, it's progress!
Stuff!
Ganelon: "It is the opposite of a hole in every conceivable way!"
Apheori (GM): "It looks like... normal stuff."
Amadi,
GREIBEL
The porridge dances with you.
Gaurav: Is it just me, or have the Holes always appeared near trees?
Ganelon: *Scoffs*
"This 'normal stuff' is exactly what we need to eliminate the holes on a conceptual level."
"They will cease to be holes. They will cease to be anything, unless I apply an excess of stuff."
Apheori (GM): "And then they'll be stuff!"
"Right?"
Gravy: Can they learn anything from you... you mean the codrichun thing, right, Gaurav?
Ganelon: "No, don't be ridiculous. Then we'll end up with a gravitational singularity that will atomize this entire planet."
Apheori (GM): "I want it by tuesday."
Gaurav: I do! The Codrichun thing.
Apheori (GM):
RHU
As you sit there listening, another desk and a chair also open several eyes and watch you.
Gaurav: A planet is a small price to pay for stability.
Apheori (GM): Hairy eyes.
Frezak: I don't understand what I'm being asked.
Gaurav: Is the chair comfortable?
I mean, does it look comfortable.
Apheori (GM): It's a hairy chair full of eyeballs.
Frezak: I think they want to know if it discovered anything, or can tell you.
Frezak: Gods no.
Gaurav: Okay, I'm going to say 15 minutes have elapsed since I hit behind the desk. I guess there haven't been any left-handed voices from the chute?
Apheori (GM): That voice hasn't come back, no.
Gaurav: Maybe the monster was some kind of super zombie?
Frezak: I can't talk to Codrichun, and all it does is just endlessly try to crawl out the Abyss.
It doesn't go around doing things.
Ganelon: Codrichun, I think, isn't related to the holes beyond a shared appetite for... everything.
Frezak: Or conversing or communicating to anything.
Rhu gets out from behind the desk and walks around the room, looking closely for doors or any other way out of here.
Frezak: EH, he doesn't have appetite.
Apheori (GM): Aiight.

Unless the Hole is also "something".
Frezak: No, not hunger.
I'm summoning an aspect of something that wants destruction.
Apheori (GM): Which monster?
I thought we were talking about codrichun.
Gaurav: The thing Codrichun fought with.
Apheori (GM): That was... something else.
Ganelon: We were in the realm of the gods.
Could have been a lot of things
Rhu tries to separate the membranes with my fingers to see if it responds to touch, and to see what's underneath them.
Gaurav: How much light is there in this basement with the mask on?
Apheori (GM): There's light everywhere, but it's not a whole lot.
On the other hand, everything kind oflooks the same with the mask on.
In terms of lighting.


RHU
The room grins at him with teeth. Grins opening up in rows of hairy teeth spiraling up into the hairy ceiling.
The membrane peels away under your nails or something and you poke a finger through.
Gaurav: Ooo. What's under the membrane?
Ganelon: Typically? Bad stuff.
Frezak: "realm" suggests organisation.
Apheori (GM): You don't feel anything under it, just empty space. Do you make the hole bigger and look through?
Gaurav: Yes!
Apheori (GM): YOU MAKE A HOLE AND LOOK INTO...
Another room very much like the one you're in.
A wall eyes you.
Gaurav: As long as Rhu doesn't eye me.
I stick two fingers into the hole and try to make it bigger.

Even if these are probably awful fleshy membranes rather than what I'm thinking.

Ellemerr: I'm, er, dancing.
 
Gaurav: I gotta run, so I'll let you all decide. If Rhu falls asleep, he'll sit beside the hole, wait for the sinister voice to reappear, but fall asleep in the waiting. If he keeps trying things ... then yeah, he does that, and Apheori and I can work them out before next time.
'''''Ganelon''' (Radek): *Scoffs* "This 'normal stuff' is exactly what we need to eliminate the holes on a conceptual level. They will cease to be holes. They will cease to be anything, unless I apply an excess of stuff."
I'm out of town from Sunday through Friday next week, so I can join in on Saturday or not at all.
 
Thanks for a REALLY FUN game today everybody, and see you all in a couple of weeks!
'''''Apheori (GM)''': "And then they'll be stuff! Right?"
Bear Soup Guy: Bye Gaur!
 
Apheori (GM): Aiight, I'ma go stare off into space.
'''''Ganelon''' (Radek): "No, don't be ridiculous. Then we'll end up with a gravitational singularity that will atomize this entire planet."
Unless someone particularly wants me to do something else.
 
Bear Soup Guy: I'm okay with ending, it's been a good session
'''''Apheori (GM)''': "I want it by tuesday."
Ganelon: Yeah.
 
I got a nice chat in with George and that's all I was really expecting.
Amadi and Greibel come back inside and start dancing.
It was nice to set up a future goal too.
 
Bear Soup Guy: Should we try to do a session sometime while Gaur is away or try Saturday?
</screenplay>
Apheori (GM): Can everyone do saturday?
 
Ganelon: Same start time?
{{holes nav
As long as it isn't a particularly drawn out session, yeah. Not because I have plans in the evening but because I'll be getting really tired.
|previous=Holes/Session 31
Bear Soup Guy: Yeah I'll likely be able to do a morning session
|next=Holes/Session 33
Gaurav: Is that this Saturday or next Saturday?
}}
I'd rather not this Saturday, but if everybody else wants to ... I can definitely do next Saturday.
Bear Soup Guy: Next Saturday then?
Or just next Sunday I guess
Gaurav: oh right. that's fine too.
Apheori (GM): SATURDAY OR SUNDAY?
Gaurav: Sunday Sunday Sunday!
This is September 21, right?
Bear Soup Guy: Yep!
Gaurav: Yay! I will see you all then.
Bear Soup Guy: Right, bye all!

Session 32 (raw log) (Overview)
INT. Dorgin town inn - Evening
The inn is a standard fantasy inn with tavern with a really bad bard. Folks throw things at the bard occasionally. The innkeeper is also glaring at the bard, but not doing anything other than that.
The bard is singing horribly. George is in the corner wearing a pair of industrial earmuffs. The sort folks use when jackhammering a sidewalk.
The party enters, the Gravedigger carrying Rhu, Greibel petting the porridge.
The bard starts singing about them. It's kind of insulting. And screechy. And a bit waily. It's a bit racist, but the racism is mitigated by his having no idea what race most of them are. So it's more along the lines of log-man hoisted by a dog-man, big big big dog-man, all about are soggy men, loiging in a bog-man... then it dissolves into a largely unintelligible mess.
RHU
(under his breath)
...what is going on?
The Gravedigger heads up to the bar and beckons over the innkeeper.
THE GRAVEDIGGER
Oy. Is the bard over there important somehow? Son of some lord or something? Is there any reason I can't just toss him out?
INNKEEPER
Ugh, no. We don't even know where the guy came from. Bouncer gave up removing him days ago since he just keeps coming back, but if you can get rid of him...
(indicating Rhu)
What's with that stick of a guy? You not intending to use his boniness as a weapon, are you? We have a size limit on allowed weapons, you know, so I'm going to need that answer to be no.
RHU
(under his breath)
What bony elf?
THE GRAVEDIGGER
Nah, he's a passenger.
The Gravedigger puts Rhu on a chair and goes after the bard instead, who runs away as soon as the Gravedigger comes near him, singing faster and louder.
Other folks in the inn start to watch with interest.
Rhu realises that he's at a table and leans onto it.
RHU
(to the empty table)
Excuse me, have you seen a bony elf around here somewhere? I think that terrible singer is looking for one.
Greibel walks over to Rhu, confused as to why the avenger is talking to a table with nobody sitting at it.
The Gravedigger shoots the blade of the shovel off at the bard with a loud SPOIIIIING, bonking him in the back of the head and knocking him down. (rolled 26 vs AC)
The bard starts shrieking unintelligibly. It's really high-pitched and rather uncomfortable.
The other folks in the inn look decidedly pained, and one guy passes out.
The Gravedigger drags the bard outside.


EXT. Dorgin, outside the inn
The Gravedigger throws the bard into a hole.
The bard continues to shriek.


INT. Dorgin town inn
Inside the tavern everyone looks a lot happier now that the bard is further away. The passed out guy starts snoring.
George doesn't seem to have noticed any of this past his earmuffs.
The Gravedigger plods back inside and the innkeeper pours him a drink.
Rhu continues conversing to the empty table.
Bear Soup Guy (Greibel): Would it be terribly counter-productive if I re-enacted that scene from Cheech And Chong's Up In Smoke where Chong accidentally gives Cheech acid?
Apheori (GM): Maybe, but it'd be hilarious.
Gaurav (Rhu): Criminey. Can you at least roll to pick the right potion?
Bear Soup Guy (Greibel): I'll roll a... something, to rummage through my pack looking for white pills that look a lot like other white pills.
GREIBEL
Hold on Rhu, I've got something that'll mellow your mind, man.
Greibel rummages through his pack and finds some white pills. (rolled 14 perception)
GREIBEL
Here ya go, man. Take these.
RHU
Eh? What? Huh?
Rhu takes the pills, sniffs suspiciously at them, then shrugs and swallows.
Nothing happens.
RHU
That was nice, Greibel, thanks. Vitamins?
GREIBEL
Yeah, Vitamin Q and some supplements. It might enhance your other senses a bit.
RHU
Oh, NICE. I could really use that!
Rhu grins and nods in entirely the wrong direction. He puts a small black stone on his head and starts balancing it absentmindedly.



Meanwhile Radek heads to George's corner. He slides up next to George and takes a seat, but George doesn't immediately notice him, just staring at his drink.
Then George suddenly notices Radek, almost jumps out of his chair, and pulls off an earmuff.
GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
How long have you been there?
RADEK
...A few minutes. Don't worry, I appreciate the silence. Any minute now I'm expecting one of the deadbeats to come pestering me about some new problem.
George glances over at the others. Rhu, Greibel and Amadi are chatting. The Gravedigger is gathering up some drinks.
GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
They seem occupied.
RADEK
Yes, that is how the problems get started. Sometimes they're not responsible. I still have to fix it all, though.
GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
Is that how you wound up here?
RADEK
I think I would go insane trying to understand how I wound up here.



INNKEEPER
(indicating Amadi)
She with you?
The Gravedigger shrugs.
THE GRAVEDIGGER
Could be one or t'other.



RHU
(in the direction that Greibel had been speaking from earlier)
Where are Dave and Amadi? Are they still with us?
Amadi appears.
AMADI
No. No, we're not.
GREIBEL
Definitive answer from the source.
RHU
One of you is wrong.
AMADI
I'm never wrong.
RHU
Okay then. Is Dave still around?
AMADI
Depends. Around what?
RHU
Around... here? I dunno. I don't think Hazz' seriously expects me to able to protect you two without... you know (gestures at his face). But I hope she's okay with that crazy guard.
AMADI
Oh, she's fiiine, they're both fiiiine.
Rhu looks at Amadi suspiciously but doesn't say anything.
RHU
Are we in a pub? Do they have sandwiches?
AMADI
Are we in a pub? Why are we in a pub? I have sandwiches.
RHU
Radek and Gravy said something about some guy they liked the look off. Something about the Holes? ...I'm sure they can make me one here. If I just knew who to ask.
AMADI
Oh, yeah. You should probably fix the Holes.
RHU
(pointing towards the restrooms)
That's their job. I'm just supposed to keep an eye on Dave and you. And that skull that has someone's soul in it, I guess.
AMADI
Yeah, and Squirrel. ...I left her with Dave. They're fiiiine.
Rhu stares at Amadi for a second, suddenly realising he can see her. Then he waves at her.
RHU
Hi?
Amadi waves at Rhu, then turns to the nearest waitress.
AMADI
(sweetly)
Can we have a sandwich? I already have one but my friend doesn't and I'd like to compare; I got this bit of wiggly thing in mine and I'm just not sure they're supposed to be like that?



GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
So what're you trying to solve?
RADEK
Oh, the whole universe is coming apart at the seams. Holes connecting planes of existence that should never interact with each other opening up everywhere. I've closed one. I'm trying to improve the method.
GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
Fuck.
George downs his drink.
RADEK
Well, don't worry too much. This place seems fine, other than the zombies. If a hole opens up I'm sure we'll head on over to try and fix it. No guarantees something idiotic won't happen and stick us between the fabric of reality, though...
Radek sighs.
RADEK
Again.
GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
The zombies may be coming out of a... hole.
RADEK
Oh?
GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
Where reality just gets weird around it. And the closer you get, the more likely... Well, they sent in a unit. They came out zombie.
RADEK
Yes, yes, that sounds like one. Maybe I can fix both of your problems at once, then, George.
GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
You have some way to make people less stupid?
(he looks at Radek skeptically)
If that were so, you'd look happier.
Radek looks at George for a moment, and laughs. He laughs for a long time.
GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
Which problems did you mean, then?
RADEK
Just the ones threatening your life, I'm afraid.
GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
Oh.
George sighs.
RADEK
I'll remember to find you if I ever find a cure for stupidity. You do the same, alright?
GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
Oh, I've found a cure. Just not a good one. And generally I wind up arresting those who administer it.



Rhu stares at Amadi some more, then turns around to see if he can see anything else. He sees a sort of glow that might be the outline of Greibel. It also might not be.
RHU
Greibel? Are you still here?
GREIBEL
Here as I'll ever be.
RHU
(pointing at Greibel)
Are you... there?
Rhu absentmindedly reaches up to take the stone off his head and puts it on the table.
Amadi picks up the stone, and a waitress hands her a rather tired-looking sandwich.
AMADI
Hmm... Well, there's no sort of wriggle bit, but... I'm still not too sure about this.
Greibel puts his hand on Rhu's shoulder.
GREIBEL
BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH.
Greibel starts laughing.
AMADI
Here.
Amadi hands the sandwich to Rhu. To him, it appears merely as a darker smudge against her odd brightness.
Rhu pokes at the sandwich smudge.
RHU
Is this a... sandwich?
AMADI
Oh, for the sake of ice-cream!
Amadi digs in frustration through her pockets and hands Rhu a mask.
Rhu pokes at the gap between her fingers, running into the mask with his hand as a result.
RHU
What is this?
AMADI
It might help.
Rhu feels it, realises that it's a mask, and tries putting it on the wrong way around. He turns it around and puts it on properly. Suddenly he can sort of see, but everyone looks like muppets. And there's a sort of weird mould everywhere. Everything looks hairy.
Amadi nods and looks at the stone. It's one with a contagion symbol on it.
RHU
HUH.
Rhu takes the mask off, checks to see that he's still blind without it, then puts the mask back on.
RHU
Greibel, you have GOT to try this sometime.
AMADI
So can you eat now?
Rhu puts on and takes off the mask a couple of times, then leaves it on.
RHU
Thanks, Mrs. Teatime! I like what you've done with your hair. I can see! I CAN SEE! And also eat, I think.
AMADI
No problem.
This rock is camouflaged as toxic waste. Or something. I think. Or maybe it's the other way around. Do you want it?
RHU
I'm always happy to hold onto stones! I've got two already, I think. Are you going to eat that furry-looking sandwich? I'm famished.
AMADI
I got it for you! I already have one.
RHU
Oh, thanks a million! That's very nice of you.
Rhu guzzles down the sandwich.
GREIBEL
(to Amadi)
Mind if I pocket that away with the others?
Amadi shrugs and takes out her sandwich, eyeing the wiggly bit suspiciously.
Greibel takes the stone, examines it a bit, then stuffs it in the pack with the others.
RHU
Hang on, I need to try something.
Rhu tries to walk to the bar by using the mask. (rolled 11 reality) He winds up walking right into it and bouncing off. Apparently his depth perception with the mask is a bit off. And bouncy.
He catches himself (rolled 23 acrobatics) and tries again. This time he walks partway through the bar. (rolled 7 reality)
RHU
(standing in the bar)
Um.
Rhu stops, then quickly walks back out, a little embarrassed to be messing with the laws of physics. He checks to see if Radek is pissed off with him for doing this, but he seems to be pretty involved with his conversation.



RADEK
Well, I'd be lying if I said I never tried to build a doomsday device. It's hard to be grateful about the end of all things when it's actually happening, though.
GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
Yeah, no kidding. Nevermind all the idiots that live here, I have to live here too.
Radek pats George on the back. Softly - he couldn't make much of an impact even if he tried.
RADEK
Can't help you with that, I'm afraid. I'd offer to take you with me, but... you would regret it. I can fix the hole, though, if you'll point me over that way.
GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
Hah! Well, sure. I'll take you there tomorrow, how's that sound? File the paperwork, send out all the requisitions...
George mumbles incoherently.
RADEK
That would be great. I could use the time to work on this formula, anyways.
GUARD GEORGE RANDAL
Great. I'll be here.
Radek stands up and glances about the room, surprised to see it still in relatively undamaged condition.



Rhu tries to catch the barkeep's attention, and tries to buy a beer with the coins they'd found in the lab.
The barkeep accepts them, seems surprised, mentions something about Auberdeen, and gives Rhu a beer.
There's a loud screeching noise outside. It sounds like the bard Gravy removed earlier.
The Gravedigger gets up to go check it out.
Meanwhile Rhu tries to approach the bar again and pick up his beer. (rolled 2 reality) This time he walks entirely through the bar and his beer. This time the innkeeper notices, and backs away.
Rhu apologizes profusely and accidentally ends up on the wrong side of the bar.
RHU
Er, I'll just...
RADEK
Rhu, what...
Rhu is looking very embarrassed now.
RADEK
No, never mind. You can actually cause less damage this way. Carry on.
Ganelon (Radek): I have a strong suspicion that he'll prove Radek wrong.
Rhu tries to poke at the bar with one finger, then turns to grin sheepishly at the barkeep before trying to walk out through the bar again. (rolled 1 reality)
RHU
He-
Then he falls through the floor, waving his arms frantically, spilling beer everywhere.
INNKEEPER
Um...


INT. Horrible nightmare realm
Rhu finds himself in some sort of basement. It's kind of nightmarish. There are some tables and a vaguely cylindrical thing with some angles and a prism shape at the top. With some glowing bits. Also weird vials and tanks and stuff. Grotesque things poke out of walls.
He manages to land on his feet. They're very hairy. Hairy muppet feet. Then beer rains down on his head, so he tries to catch some of it, except then he realises he's no longer holding the glass. (rolled 25 acrobatics)
RHU
Um. Um. Okay.
Rhu ignores his feet for now, and stares about the basement. (rolled 31 perception) Everything is really hairy. And weird. And full of strange experiments. It's like a nightmare, and oddly organic. There don't seem to be any ways to get back upstairs, aside from perhaps a chute on the far wall, barely big enough for a man.
There are also no doors, or at least nothing recognisable as doors. Given how the walls look almost like membranes, it's a bit hard to tell. There's also a sort of mesh screen looking out on utter blackness on one side. And a bowl of noodles sitting in the middle of the floor.
Something snakes out of the floor and grabs a noodle. It looks like... more floor. (rolled 25 nature)
Rhu takes his mask on and off to see if that helps any, but without it he can't see a thing. Everything is just a horrible white.
RHU
(under his breath)
Well fuck.


INT. Dorgin town inn
INNKEEPER
Is he perhaps a bit... touched?
GREIBEL
(to innkeeper)
Touched...By An Angel?
AMADI
(to innkeeper)
Yeah. Tentacles. Hazz - I mean, Vitoi.
INNKEEPER
(pulling a doll out from behind the counter)
And where do angels usually touch people?
RADEK
In the brain, clearly.
INNKEEPER
(putting the doll away and being slightly more serious)
Do I need to expect any more of this? I'm not liable.
RADEK
...For as long as we're here, yes. Well, I say "we".
INNKEEPER
Oh dear.


INT. Horrible nightmare realm
Rhu tries to sneak over to the chute (rolled 18 stealth). As he walks, the patterns in the floor seem almost to move away, like ripples in a hairy carpet. Snakey ripples.
Hairy snakey ripples.
Other than that, nothing seems to notice.
Rhu tries to stealthily (rolled 23 stealth) climb up the chute (rolled 19 acrobatics). It's slippery and horribly textured, with ribs and squishiness in all the wrong places.
He gets partway up, falls partway down, and makes a muffled clatter.
Rhu sits quietly until he's sure there's no response to the clatter, then tries again. (rolled 14 acrobatics) This time he doesn't even get as far as before before sliding back out.
Rhu looks up to see if there's any light at the top of the chute.
RHU
(whispering)
Hello? Is someone up there?
Silence. Then, in a long low whisper:
SOMETHING HORRIBLE
Rhuuuu...
The voice is low and sweet, like a fungus that eats flies. Except these flies are horrible and huge, and the fungus is actually something else entirely.
Rhu pointedly does not respond. He realises the voice is being projected from above the chute, but it's not actually coming from there. He doesn't know where it's coming from. (rolled 34 perception (natural 20)) He feels a strong urge to remove the mask.
He resists, and sits quietly at the base of the chute, his eyes flicking first upwards and then quickly around the room, waiting to see what happens next.


INT. Dorgin town inn
There's some more screeching from outside.
Amadi takes Greibel's hand and attempts to walk him outside without giving any explanation for her actions.
Greibel tags along exasperatedly.
Radek ignores it and gets to pondering. Fist-inside-beard hardcore PONDERING.


EXT. Dorgin, outside the inn - night
Amadi goes to the bard. He's standing in a deep grave screeching like a harpy. In the screeches, there seems to be a tune, but it's vague.
The Gravedigger appears to have gone back inside.
GREIBEL
(singing, mostly in tune with the screeches)
My name is Lon Chaney
I was in some movies
You probably remember me for my hideous face...
Amadi juggles bananas.
Greibel suddenly turns into a gorilla wearing a pink tutu. This messes up the singing slightly.
GREIBEL
RAAAAAAAAR.
Amadi also sings the whole circus music bit that's supposed to go with this. It includes a lot of trumpets and stuff.
Greibel twirls hula hoops as a gorilla while singing.
The previously screeching bard shrinks back into the hole and goes horribly silent.
Amadi throws the bananas at the bard. He flinches away horribly.
Greibel goes back to normal, accompanied by a popping sound.


INT. Horrible nightmare realm
Quietly, stealthily, Rhu tries to climb up the chute again. (rolled 16 acrobatics) As he does, he feels a presense getting closer.
The attempt fails, and whatever it is hears him as he tumbles out. (rolled 9 stealth) He feels it. In his kidneys.
Rhu freezes, then pauses mid-freeze, looking confused.
He steps quietly away from the chute.
Everythng is hairy.
Rhu hides behind a hairy table.
The hairy table blinks at Rhu and looks vaguely surprised.
RHU
(to the table)
Shh.
He puts a finger to his lips.
The table opens a few more eyes and those blink at the finger as well.
Rhu crouches behind the table and waits, listening intently. (rolled 23 perception)
He hears whispers from the black beyond the mesh lattice, and from behind some walls/membranes. Some are saying his name. Others... other things. It sounds like they've found something. Lost other things. Having lunch. Very sinister.
Left-handed.
RHU
(whispers, to the table)
Do you hear that too?
The table rumbles and opens a few more eyes. It's somewhat covered in eyes now.
Rhu gives the table a knowing glance in whichever eye is closest to him and does the "shh" hand gesture again. Then he goes back to listening quietly.
The eyes all intently follow the movement of the gesture.
Rhu goes back to listening and waiting.
Some 10-15 minutes pass. A tank and a wall fixture also open several eyes and watch him. Hairy eyes.
Rhu gets out from behind the desk and walks around the room, looking closely for doors or any other way out of here. He finds nothing, and so tries to separate some wall membranes with his fingers to see if it responds to touch, and to see what's underneath them.
The membrane peels away under his nails he poke a finger through. There doesn't seem to be anything behind it, just empty space.
He makes the hole bigger and peels back a section of membrane. Behind it is another room very much like the one he's in. A wall eyes him. Literally.
He pulls the membrane back more and rips open a medium-sized hole which he might be able to fit through if he forced it. (rolled 15 strength)
More eyes in the wall watch curiously.
Something licks his foot.
Rhu ignores the footlicking and squeezes through the hole. (rolled 27 acrobatics)
The room grins at him with teeth. Grins opening up in rows of hairy teeth spiraling up into the hairy ceiling.
RHU
Um.
In a terror, Rhu squeezes back through the hole into the room he came from. (rolled 28 acrobatics) Everything feels kind of weird, and he winds up going too far and trips over a table. (rolled 5 reality)
The floor licks him.
Rhu calms down a bit and tries to stretch open a membrane on another wall. (rolled 3 strength (natural 1)) Nothing really happens, but it seems to have something behind it.
Whispers ask for lettuce.
RHU
(to the nearest eye)
What's behind here?
The eye blinks at him.
Rhu tries to open the membrane again. (rolled 20 strength) He clears it away and is suddenly faced with an enormous red toad eye, staring at him, through him, into him.
The eye stares at him.
RHU
Hi. Were you the one asking me for lettuce just now?
The eye continues to stare at him.


INT. Dorgin town inn
Radek ponders what been pondering for the last few days. How to close a hole. It is some fist-to-chin hardcore pondering. (rolled 18, 31 arcana)
Previously, he had deduced that a key was something about three pieces and a lock.
It occurs to him that the question, perhaps, is pieces of what? What does it take to close a hole, really? And for that matter, what does it take to open one? The question to one should be the answer to the other... Of course, if he could just make a lack of hole, something with no hole at all, well, that could be a way around a whole other problem entirely...
Ganelon (Radek): I'm not about to discount the possibility.
Ganelon (Radek): "Behold! I have created... stuff! It is the opposite of a hole in every conceivable way!"
Apheori (GM): "It looks like... normal stuff."
Ganelon (Radek): *Scoffs* "This 'normal stuff' is exactly what we need to eliminate the holes on a conceptual level. They will cease to be holes. They will cease to be anything, unless I apply an excess of stuff."
Apheori (GM): "And then they'll be stuff! Right?"
Ganelon (Radek): "No, don't be ridiculous. Then we'll end up with a gravitational singularity that will atomize this entire planet."
Apheori (GM): "I want it by tuesday."
Amadi and Greibel come back inside and start dancing.

Something few people realise is just how easy it is to forge things if only you have the time.
