You point your hand at yourself. The white light envelops you. Your jaw mends. Your blood pumps faster. Your brain clears. Demeter's voice stops.FPLOON said:
You point your hand at the man. The white light envelops him. His eyes becomes less bloodshot. He shakes his head and looks at you thankfully. "Excellent," he says. "I can think much clearer now. I'm sorry for snapping at you before. My name is Donald."the silence said:
A cultist that is a writhing mass of tentacles with mouths all over it runs out of the house, screaming "we've done in! Apocalypse is nigh! The black rain cometh! The black tendril cometh!"
Donald readies his knife.

You try to distract the cultist as he dodges in and out of Donald's knife swipes. The cultist's tentacles writhe towards you as if to prepare to strike. As they do you launch the nearest splint of wood at the cultist, which bounces off its excuse for a face. Donald lands a blow, cutting off a swath of tentacles. Still moving, the tentacles that were cut off start to come towards you.Barbas said:
You make a note to do this after the battle's done.FPLOON said:
You deliver a firm kick to the writhing tentacles. They fly across the vicinity, landing with a splash in a black puddle forming in the cursed rain. The tentacle writhes out of the puddle, covered in an inky black fluid, and again renews its assault towards you. You grab a branch from a nearby tree and use it as a club, bringing it down overhead and crushing it into the ground. They rise up, ever-resilient.Auron225 said:
You stamp on them with all your force, and this time you hear snapping and bleeding. The tentacles die.Barbas said:
King Kong, indeed appears to have little to no shit on you; thus you scream the above phrase.FPLOON said:
You then begin breakdancing. To an outside observer it may appear you are simply celebrating your victory over the tentacle creature; however, in reality, you are simply doing it just cuz.CrystalShadow said:
As you breakdance, Donald lands a desicive strike on the tentacle cultist, which splits into dozens of individually moving masses that scatter in different directions. You take an opportunity to ask Donald questions about what's going on. He tells you that he doesn't remember how he got in the house, only that he was driven to insanity by a monster wielding a strange relic resembling a circle with a triangle inside of it. He says that in his insanity he saw an enormous beast with six black tentacles and that the cultists plan to release the beast to destroy the world.
As he finishes his explanation, a 2nd enormous black tentacle explodes out of the house. The black rain now starts to faintly sting your flesh. The surprise is enough to get you to stop breakdancing.
You tell Donald to run as far as you can from the rain. The two of you flee from the spreading death, running as quickly as you can down the hill, through the streets. You see people running around, screaming, panicking, black rain searing their flesh. "Look, up there!" says Donald, pointing to the sky. The black clouds are spreading faster than you can run. Before the rain can do any serious damage to either of you, he grabs you and throws you towards the doorway of a building.FPLOON said:
"I own this building," he says. The building stretches far off into the sky, so high you can't make out many features of the building.
The two of you enter into an extremely luxurious vestibule. "I have many things in this building that we might be able to use to combat this threat. Workers. Private jets. Guns, of course. Just no goddamn Mexicans."

The Emperor may be walking among you as a mere mortal man but today is not his time to reveal his power and regenerate your sanity. Your prayer is ineffective. However, Donald shows you around his enormous tower and brings you to the gunshow, so to speak.dalek sec said:
There is a variety of guns lining his walls, any one of which you could choose. You don't know too much about guns, but one looks to be an enormous futuristic plasma rifle; another a machine gun; and a final one a shotgun.
"This one's handy in home invasions," says Donald.
You label the workers like in that XCOM game with the aliens. You name one of the workers Marcus. Marcus is one of the workers in the gunroom. "Hi, Marcus!" you say. "My name is Frank," he says. Ahaha! Oh, Marcus. What a joker.FPLOON said:
You ask Donald if he has any batteries. "Batteries?!" he says. "What do you take us for, some battery-less swine?!" He opens a desk literally right next to you and tosses you some batteries.
"These aren't the right kind of battery..." you observe.
"Oh," he says, and then throws another pair at you. These are the right ones. You recharge your flashlight. Woo!
Donald nods his head. "Of course you can use my shooting range!" he laughs. He shows you the range, a one-hundred yard shooting range outside. Black rain falls from the sky, slowly disintegrating everything it touches. "It's not in the best shape right now," Donald admits. Marcus runs up to the two of you. "Gentlemen," he says, "a third enormous black tentacle has burst forth from that house and now the people being touched by the black rain are turning into the ravenous undead! Shouldn't you two be doing something about it?!"Auron225 said:
"Eh, at this rate it might just blow over," says Donald.

Get back inside (no time to test out the plasma rifle - guess we'll just have to see it in action).
Have Donald arm as many people inside the building as possible and order them to watch the entrances to stop the ravenous undead getting in. Take the shotgun as a backup weapon and ask Donald to help you look for something (like coats) that could protect you both from the black rain.
