Eddie tries to take hold of Tobias and pull him away from the crevice.

Re: IC: Ch 5: Where the Hell are we?
Tobias regained control like a Fish out of water, and finally found some precarious middle ground between sanity and insanity as he struggled to comprehend the nature of the surrounding area. His lucidity now sharper than ever.
“Thanks, my friend. I almost lost it there.” He replied to Eddie gratefully, as he cooperated with him to get as far away as possible from that...place. He got an ominous feeling about the place. He heard the voices of the monks, and quickly asked, “By what do you mean by your questions? We were dragged into this with no prior knowledge of the matters at hand. Some crazy bastard summoned us here through a ritual. I think. Now we are confused. Mostly. It would be good if you could explain what the purpose of your whole ‘chosen one’ gimmick as well. Thanks for cooperating with us, by the way, old chap. You folks seemed to be the only bunch of people who aren’t actively trying to kill us at this point. Terribly sorry for intruding, though.”

At Miss Adams' suggestion of needing blood to make the key work Bret pulls out the chicken he bought from the farmer that morning. "Maybe we'll finally find a use for this."
Hearing the monks' question he points to Professor Ingham. "I'm pretty sure he thinks he's the chosen one. You can have him."
Re: IC: Ch 5: Where the Hell are we?
Maria tries not to stare too hard at the bizarre faces of the men.
"Can you help us get back to where we came from?" she asks.

Re: IC: Ch 5: Where the Hell are we?
As you are asking your questions you see them fade away.
Leaving you standing there in the blackness. You hear the clawing coming up the crevice.

Re: IC: Ch 5: Where the Hell are we?
Maria’s heart sinks. But she decides to act. She takes out her pocketknife, and wincing with the pain, cuts the palm of her hand.
“Bret, give me the key. Quickly! I'll try tracing the lines.”

Re: IC: Ch 5: Where the Hell are we?
Tobias cursed, and ran towards Bret to see if he could help.
Re: IC: Ch 5: Where the Hell are we?
Bret hands the key to Miss Adams, wishing she had used the chicken instead of cutting herself. He hurls the chicken over the edge of the crevice (hoping whatever's coming up likes chicken).
Re: IC: Ch 5: Where the Hell are we?
Maria ignores the pain from her protesting hand. “I hope this works” she says.
She starts to trace the lines on the key using her blood.

Re: IC: Ch 5: Where the Hell are we?
Maria cuts her hand and smears blood on the key, but nothing happens.
You all hear a *pop* sound and you can see the others start to smear when moving, others going faster and faster till they disappear, and then appear again a minute or two later and then slowing down as their speech becomes slurred, or are you just moving faster?

Bret hurls the chicken, but not being very aerodynamic falls just short of the crevice and runs off into the darkness squawking.

Maria shuts her eyes tight and tries to shut out the sight. She can't take much more of this.

Re: IC: Ch 5: Where the Hell are we?
Tobias acclimated himself to the crazy mind-rending things happening around him and closed his eyes, knowing that any attempt to understand these dimensional realms will drain him of his sanity.
Re: IC: Ch 5: Where the Hell are we?
As you were wresting with the ever changing dimensions around you, you turn around to see the 6 figures in robes again.
"Your presence is causing Daoloth to grow, he will soon reveal himself to you. You need to have someone willing to see the universe as it truly exists, he will be the chosen one. The rest must follow the directions to leave, or he will grow to envelope you all."
They are all wearing black and white robes and all but one are wearing a geometric shaped pendant around their necks.

Re: IC: Ch 5: Where the Hell are we?
"Say, can we volunteer up the crazy professor who dragged us in here? We are fine with leaving without understanding the universe. As long I get to submit my papers on time, I don't care about anything else." Tobias said.
Re: IC: Ch 5: Where the Hell are we?
Maria
"How about it Professor? You're the one who wanted to come here and meet Daoloth. Well, he's right over there." She indicates the chasm.

Re: IC: Ch 5: Where the Hell are we?
Eddie nods, gesturing to the professor. "There's your chosen one right there," he says. "He wants to know the secrets of the universe more than anyone."

Bret peers closely at the one monk who isn't wearing a pendant.
