Michael heads over to the Black Cave. As he approaches the dark and forbidding cave mouth, he can see some sort of glow coming from within it. A strange blond man stands in the entrance, facing it and chanting in a completely alien language. As Michael walks up, he finishes chanting and turns. A shadowy form begins to coalesce further inside the cave.

"What are you doing here?" asks Michael.

"Can't you feel the energy?" the man says. "This cave exists at a nexus between worlds, a rift in time and space. Rituals are stronger when performed here."

"What kind of rituals? What's that back in the cave?"

"Just a little friend I've summoned. I can't tell you about the rituals, or I'd have to kill you." He shrugs. "Well, I have to kill you anyway. I formed this gate to return from a journey to another place and time. As more of these gates open, the mighty Azathoth will grow stronger and awaken from his slumber to visit destruction upon the world."

Michael laughs and sets down his violin case. "You might not find me so easy to kill. You say you opened the gate? How do you close it, then?"

"Oh, it's simple. Just repeat the chant in reverse. A pity you will not live to use this knowledge." A ball of eldritch blue flame began to appear in the man's hand, but Michael was unafraid. This was just a man, and he could be killed like any other. He popped open the violin case. "What are you going to do, play some violin music?" the warlock mocked him.

"Yeah - some real sad stuff." He grabbed up his Tommy gun. "Say hello to my little friend." With that, he opened fire. The staccato of the burst ripped through the air as shell casings went flying and bullets streaked towards the magician. Some of them hit, but the first few bullets seemed to strike his flesh and fall to the earth, leaving nothing more than holes in his clothing. Still, one round clipped his shoulder and caused a trickle of blood.

Furiously, the warlock pulled back his arm and let the ball of blue flame fly at Michael as if he were pitching a fastball. It struck Michael square in the chest, but the tough guy could take it. "Kill him!" he screeched, pointing at Michael.

Those were his last words, as Michael cut loose with another burst. Leaden death filled the man full of holes and left him dead upon the ground.

Before he had a chance to catch his breath, the shadowy form emerged from the cave and rushed Michael. It was a large, furry creature that seemed to blur with every large stride it made. The sight alarmed him, but his instincts preserved him. His Tommy gun rattled until the drum was empty, and the creature was riddled with bullets, falling atop its dead master before fading into nothingness.

Michael reloaded and made his way into the cave. The odd glow was coming from around a corner - and so was a monster the likes of which he had never seen. The thing was barrel-chested with thin, membranous wings, and one look was enough to send him over the edge. He cut loose with the Thompson, shooting it so many times that there was hardly anything left of its body. He only stopped when he ran out of ammo. He slapped a third drum into place and continued around the corner.

The glow was visible at the back of the cavern, a swirling vortex of light and color where the wall should be. And in front of it was a large, hideous, vaguely canine thing. Not wanting to tangle with it, he stuck to the shadows and slinked along the cave wall, bypassing the monster and reaching the back.

To Unnamable

Jenny realizes how ill prepared she is for her journey, so she decides to make her way to the General Store to pick up a few naughty things. Unfortunely in such a short minskirt and heels, she can't quite make it, so she decides to head to the Unnamable to give Leo a piece of her mind.

ooc,Jenny moves three spaces. Northside>Merchant District>Unnamable

You seem to be one step ahead of me! Jenny says to Leo.

Whos feeding you information tall dark and handsome? Are you stalking me sailor?

Jenny bats an eye at Leo and then flashes his professor ally a sultry look.

It's awefully dangerous for a woman to be walking alone, don't you think Leo? Would you consider lending me your side kick! i'm sure a big strong man such as yourself has no need for protection. I'll pay you for your troubles of course.

Jenny reaches into her purse and fumbles for her money clip.

Michael finds himself in a bizarre alien landscape, with no sign of a way back to Arkham. His Tommy gun still clutched in his hands, he peers around. The land is barren as far as he can see, except for a large plant that looks nothing like he's ever seen before on a rocky outcrop nearby. He walks over to give it a closer look...and that's when the thing opens up a set of massive jaws and engulfs him like a Venus flytrap! He tries to punch and kick his way out, but the thing has incredibly tough hide. It is only with the mightiest of efforts that the big man manages to force open the carnivorous plant's jaws and escape. He moves away from it, and fortunately it is unable to pursue him.
