Psychic Bridge II to everyone jauntside
It's Armin.
[The text is somehow bigger and bolder than usual when the network is like this, attracting your attention even if you'd usually try to filter it out or ignore it.]
Yes, I'm dead. Well and truly dead, not just a ghost, but I can still access the network. I'm not really sure how. I'm broadcasting to both sides right now, so this connection will only last about half an hour. But everyone, please listen - this is important. Before she tortured and killed me, I recognized the being inside Bernkastel.
It's Nyarlathotep.
Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos. One of the outer gods. I think the ghost Bernkastel was in is essentially his overlay now - merging with her didn't give him access to the network, at least. Don't approach the lakebed - not yet. You don't stand a chance on your own, any more than I did.
But I have a plan.
I can teach the living to make talismans that will repel the god. If we have groups to distract and repel him, there's a brief ritual that can separate him from his host, and do to the witch what they've been doing to other ghosts, stripping and consuming will and power.
Doing that should leave him adrift - as long as he's being repelled, he'll have no choice but to return to where he came from. If he's not being repelled, he'll be free to do as he pleases. This is all if there's someone ghostside willing to lend me your form in order to perform the ritual.
It will be hard, and incredibly dangerous. We'll need to coordinate and work together, and I can't promise we'll all survive. But it can be - it must be done.
[ooc note: in game, this post takes place after Malik will have reported Armin's death to everyone lifeside, even though Bix hasn't thrown it up yet.]

[He doesn't understand what she's asking.]

That's really all there is to it? I thought it would be a more, you know, arcane process, but if that's all...
Let us know anything else that'll increase our chances and I'll do the same.

And any embellishments I could add would do more harm than good.
...I hate this. But on the plus side we actually know what's up, this time. And I suspect that one of Strength's besties is actually helping.
no subject
Strength's... besties?
[The Arcana is a whole other quadmire, and he hasn't had the time or inclination to start pulling together all the complicated memories and emotions related to them yet.]

Bastet. She's been contacting some of us in dreams. If this Jaunt's Bastest isn't Strength wearing cat ears.
...this is an enemy of our enemy situation. I trust the Arcana as far as I can throw them, but our present enemy as far as either of us can walk, right now.
no subject
We may not be the Arcana's allies, but we can be allies against this.
