Add me to the list of eldritch defense 101 teachers. I have dealt with way more agents of the Ancient Ones than my share, and this is going to be my second Harrowgate excursion. We'd need a soundproofed classroom for it, but that shouldn't be hard to conjure up.

And yeah: let's also make this the "please pull our heads out of our Infiltrations" signup thread. You do not want me on either Team Cultist or Team Exorcist this round.

My overlays tend to be a lot less powerful than I am... but for something like this, I'm more useful as me, even if it's not all of me.

[eldritchwheelies]

Same. I'm just worried about what Harrogate will make out of me.

[acapriciousthing]

It sounds like we should worry about what it will make of anyone.

[givetheslip]

What exactly is it that people are preparing to teach? I see many of us nearly ready to panic, but few have explained why.

[Where she's seen it, anyway. Which is possibly more on her than it is on them.]

[eldritchwheelies]

Last time we went to Harrogate, an extradimensional entity we call the King In Yellow because saying it's real name gets it's attention broke into Liminal Space and took the Arcana months to get rid of.

After we successfully disrupted the ritual to summon it. For a given value of successful.

What I'm teaching is ways to prevent it from getting to that point.

Did I mention that it has a supernatural aura of insanity? Because that's a thing.

[Oooookay. Maria only understands part of that, but it's more than she would have a few months ago.]

Are you saying just traveling to this place is likely to make us go mad?

[eldritchwheelies]

I'm saying there are monsters there who like to drive people mad. It's not a given, but it's a known danger.

[givetheslip]

What a wonderful hobby. Are they dangerous beyond the dissemination of madness?

[As if that weren't enough.]

[eldritchwheelies]

And how!

There's several good reasons I'm taking this as seriously as I am. These things broke into liminal space, and are active on multiple worlds. Still offering those lessons on the proper magic to keep them from eating you.

[givetheslip]

Good lord!

[In truth, Maria's not completely sold on this level of danger. Madoka is clearly a child, and children are known to exaggerate.

But she has also seen a great deal of shit these last few months, and will not assume anything is impossible.]

Then consider me an aspiring student, though I don't know how well I'll do.

How can I keep Rose safe if that's where we're going?

[eldritchwheelies]

Best you can do is a round room with good lighting and Elder Tree wallpaper. And keeping yourself as whole and sane as possible.

[dino_zarf]

Figured that last one... what's the elder tree?

[eldritchwheelies]

If I knew the knack for sending you the picture over the network, I would. I'll show you in person as soon as I get the lecture space - simpler than drawing the Elder Star.
