The book details the plans of Hastur's cult. A pleasure-cult of hedonists, more perverted and heinous than any other in the book. The book waxes eloquently on their practices and offers an example of some of their abilities with the Voice of Ra, a commanding voice that makes them more potent in their strange rituals. To your regret, the book is also filled with the strange, sexual illustrations, your hand seeming to move by itself down to your skirt, your body begging to be satisfied. You manage to shake it off for now, but the strange lust caused by these books makes you feel a certain fear at what Hastur himself will do.<br/><br/>Returning to your hired rowboat, you return to the streets of the Merchant District, and enter Rivertown, finding a cheap flophouse to spend the night in, and use the old candles therein to help satiate some of your desire...<br/>---<br/>Voice of Ra has a -1 Casting Modifier, meaning you'd need to roll 3 dice and get 1 success, and costs 1 Sanity, but it gives you a +1 to all skill checks for the rest of the turn, so any turn you're expecting resistance, let me know if you plan to cast it. 1 Sanity damage from the book- I figure stamina loss involves physically being, ahem, assaulted, whereas sanity is your own lust taking you over. ^_~ Seems appropriate.<br/>---<br/>That night, you have strange dreams of large, devilish creatures, tickling your body endlessly... then tickling more sensitive places... You wake up, sheets soaked- and not ONLY with sweat. In the science building, as it's reopened, an experiment with the strange material 'Radium' results in a hole being torn through the delicate fabric of space and time, to a place of the deepest, darkest blackness...<br/>---<br/>OOC: I'll give you an opportunity to respond, and if you wish, cast Voice of Ra, before I continue on with you to the Graveyard. ^_~
