You finally escape, gasping as you get back out of the chokingly humid and hot jungle-place. You use the documents and tools you've found, drawing a ritual sign that you found here in the square. The seal glows, and the portal's edges peel closed again, and you sigh with relief. And out in the outskirts, the Chthonian squirms, and is drawn through a sudden rift, pulled back to it's own time by the sealing of the portal.  The first great victory you've scored against this strange foe... You walk to the Northside, after learning about the unusual things happening there. As you enter the side-show, you see the various strange people cavorting- You're drawn aside by a male contortionist. As his limbs wrap around you, he whispers secrets of the carnival in your ear, even as he derobes you momentarily, your lips kissed into silence as he tells you of the secret- The carnival is one of the signal flares, in a way, for Hastur's approach. Even now, he passes Yuggoth, the farthest planet from earth, as you find yourself leaving, feeling strangely satisfied, and yet deeply dirty, but with more knowledge of the threat that faces you...<br/>---<br/>OOC: Nice. You successfully seal the gate, getting a brand new Gate Trophy... Don't forget to spend some of your cash when you get the chance, by the way, it can help you find useful items, heh. You need to spend a turn to buy items, of course, but Eh...<br/>---<br/>The planets slowly align themselves, twitched in strange ways by the influence of Hastur, as Yuggoth is given, for once, a direct route through the combined gravitational tunnel of the planets, opening inside the old Witch House, as a Byakhee travels through the night, out to the outskirts with the other creatures there...
