Abaia and the undines

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Exactly, and that's just what Lovecraft did with his monsters. Abaia and Erebus are EXTREMELY Lovecraftian. All but the tentacles---Cthulhu also sent out dreams from beneath the sea to trouble the sensitive.

on a mundane note, I think the fact that he left these players offstage is just great, even though my first read I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have more of a presence. I think as menacing threats, they're scarier because they're unknown.
