Maria still can't hear anything strange.
Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
You crept forward until the woods stopped and a small clearing is ahead of you. You see the people in robes circled around the large jagged black obelisk.
As everyone is paying attention to the cultists no one noticed the large hound that raced by you just 5-10 feet to your right and out into the clearing. A chicken feather fluttering behind it and towards you.
The hound runs up to the people in robes, it opens its mouth and a someone takes a live chicken out of its mouth and puts it into a sack. And a large cheer comes from the group. Someone else steps up and seems to be doing something with his hands, the hound shimmers and transforms into a young man of 19 to 20 years old.

Maria
Hearing about it is one thing, but seeing it is another. Maria cannot believe her own eyes. What has happened to these people?

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Eddie only avoids succumbing to madness because he does not quite understand what is happening.

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
As Tobias saw the sudden, rapid transformation of the beast into a human being. Some inside of him broke. "hahahhahahaohmygodwouldyoulookatthatWhatahorrifyingthingbutisn'tthatwonderousOhhahahahhahathisisgreatIsawitIsawsomething. How unexpected. Ohisthatwhatthey'vebeendoingallthistime? SotheyarealltryingtoturnthemselvesintoHoundsandtheyarealltheHoundsandthathasalwaysbeenhappeningaroundhere? How unbelievable. Hahahaha—HAAH!!! August of 1927. How absolutely disgusting. Haha; must destroy. This is something. I'll fight it. How unbelievable..." Some countless strings of words and thoughts poured out of his mouth in seemingly random order as he held his head in horror and confused and some nauseating disgust as he witnessed the gross transformation.
OOC: Ben, I wish to request for an insane insight. |

Tobias begins to chatter incoherently, while the rest of you held your calm.
After the young man transformed, he dropped to the ground, meanwhile someone in the group looked your way and pointed. "Someone is in the woods."
The man on the ground began to convulse and appeared to be in a seizure. Someone knelt to help him, but the others began to run, someone grabbing his arms, dragging him away from the seizing man on the ground.
Lucy screamed out "JOE!!" and broke cover running towards the pillar.

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Tobias giggled nervously and only trembled harder.
OOC: No worries. I can wait. |

Maria
"Lucy! Come back!" shouts Maria. She takes off running after her anyway.

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
While the others are helping the stricken man Bret inspects the pillar curiously.
Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Everyone rushes forward. It takes a good 10-15 seconds before you arrive. Lucy kneels next to the convulsing man, "Oh Joe, what's wrong." As she grips his hand.
Maria and Eddie also go to help Joe on the ground. Bret sees the others are handling things and is mesmerized by the black pillar. It is about 12' tall and made of black obsedian but it isn't straight, it is roughly broken into the 3 parts. All 3 are covered in ruins, the bottom one has blood on it.
About this time you notice Tobias isn't with you.

Maria
Using her knowledge of first aid, Maria attempts to ensure that Joe doesn’t swallow his tongue during his seizure. She has some success in calming him.

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
There isn't much you can do for a seizure, just clear the area, reduce stimuli and talk calmly to them. After a minute the seizing stopped and Joe relaxed. Lucy was holding his hand, "Oh Joe I thought I lost you. What happened?"
Tobias finally comes out of his babbiling and realizes he is alone in the swamp, while everyone else is over by the pillar.
Bret takes a picture of the obelisk.

Re: IC: Ch 3: Swamp Delving
Tobias coughed harshly as he tried to clear up his raspy throat and took a quick swig of some water before looking at the two obelisks. Clearly, they've around there for as long as there's been Indian residence there. However, these obelisks felt less like ancient artefacts that belong in a museum and more closely exuding a feeling of entering an ancient mass grave. "These stone pillars, they seemed to be really dangerous. I think...I'll need to talk with the other later to see whether I should destroy this goddamned thing." He muttered to himself, before creeping very slowly towards them.
OOC: If Tobias further analyse the stone pillar, can he find a way of tampering with the spells engraved upon it by using his knife to 'ruin' a few of the symbols? |

"Are you all right?" Eddie asks Joe. "Do you have epilepsy?"
