The Stars are almost Right. What do you do?

Post by Mr Dyson »

Through your reading of forbidden texts like the Necronomicon you have calculated when the Stars will be Right. You have discovered the Great Old Ones will return in a years time and there is no way to stop it.

Obviously when the Endtime begins it will see the rise of R'leyh, Yog-Sothoth breaking into our world, Tsathoggua and his spawn coming out of the ground, the Yellow Sign everywhere along with Nylarthotep laughing at it all. There will be attacks from cultists, Deep Ones and Ghouls and ordinary humanity will be going mad. It is the End of Everything!

My question is what do you do? You have a year to prepare for the end of the world. Most people won't listen to your warnings so you must think of yourself and a small group.

The way I see it your basic choices boil down to the choices in the poll. Definately C for me. Just need to work out the best place to make my last stand.

to die fighting? not thanks, it would not be so stupid as to fight against them, I limit myself to observing and trying to understand, until the death calls me.

i'll be that guy who stays behind in the deserted city to play with everyone else's possessions. when the toad armies come hopping through town and i get snatched up in some rubbery flipper, i'll turn the tables on them and urinate as a defense mechanism. they will then feel kinship with me and keep me as a lovable pet and mascot. later i will be caught in the crossfire during an assault on albuquerque, new mexico, and the amphibian horde will erect a blasphemous monument to me in the center of the city which will flourish on top of albuquerque's pulverized ruins. this new city will be known as qh'ygck'thbpbtpt.

Being kept as breeding stock? Its one way of surviving :lol:

I suspect life expectancy is short whatever happens. Whatever plans you make your sanity will buckle and break. Nice idea to study and observe till the end though.

I agree, if that will happen, the death will be the glory for us.

What kind of amphibian horde erects blasphemous monuments to pets? They should just bury you in the back yard.

And I think that Qh'ygck'thbpbtpt should be capitalized. Or is this on the Frog Army Manual of Style?

but you see, in the battle of albuquerque i will transcend from petdom into martyrdom. when their plucky little companion is savagely picked off by some godless human sniper, envious of my interdimensional charisma, the throngs of tsathoggua will then cry my name (which they pronounce hk't''ydrx'zl) in unison and crash through the fortifications in a gibbous, eldritch, non-euclidean attack that results in a sea of carpaccio-like death that takes several years to clean up.

i like to keep things slightly improper, as long as we're all friends here

Oh. Well, that's different.
