"Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet south. Passage turns east and west. Which way do you go?"
"We go South."
Stupefied look and momentary pause. "Okay. Bump, bump, bump."

On The Near Horizon
Part of what I have been busy with, a special project. I will let the picture speak for itself.
Hmmmm. My first thought was that perhaps it's for the Pit of Geburah, since it looked a bit like a flayed Pit Fiend, to me. But then I noticed the picture filename includes Orcus, so I think you're spot-on, Yesmar!
Yesmar and Allan win the Orcus-Porcus award for most astute observations. The Prize? The complete works of Vivaldi, compliments of You Tube... My own CDs are reserved... Now onto ulterior realms of Madness and Beauty, compliments of Earth...
Not too much business talk in me for those days. I'm viewing this as a combined gaming/get away. Shame on me... I would not mind discourse on other literary or musical subjects, however...
Oh, unless you twist my arm with a fine beverage as you did in Indy, but this go around am favoring a Pinot Noir or Shiraz at night or a Svng. Blanc during the day. Do come stocked! :)
I'm not sure what that thing is, it reminds me a bit of a gnoll which you seem to be fond of, but the picture is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat looks alarmingly like........ a certain Temple..... of unpleasant seasonal adjuncts.... from a cover of a certain supermodule..... 8)
ReplyDeleteI smell a temple of Orcus!

ReplyDeleteDon't you hate it when you leave the house and suddenly realize that you forgot to put your skin on?
ReplyDelete"Don't you hate it when you leave the house and suddenly realize that you forgot to put your skin on?"
ReplyDeleteI suppose it could be rather "unnerving."
Give us a little time, and I'm sure we can flesh this concept out further.

ReplyDeleteHeh. You are at least on the track, Allan, notwithstanding your "Fiendish" delusions... :)
I really like this picture; one of Bergeron's best, IMO.
=) =)
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to talk more about this at the North TX RPGCon Rob: or, is this what you're planning to run our 1st to 2nd level PCs through? ;->
Allan.
No and No. :)
ReplyDeleteCastle El Raja Key, didn't you hear?
