Enter the Mysterion

The term "Mystery" derives from Latin mysterium, from Greek mysterion (usually as the plural mysteria μυστήρια), in this context meaning "secret rite or doctrine." An individual who followed such a "Mystery" was a mystes, "one who has been initiated," from myein "to close, shut," a reference to secrecy (closure of "the eyes and mouth[“]) or that only initiates were allowed to observe and participate in rituals. The Mysteries were thus cults in which all religious functions were closed to the uninitiated and for which the inner-working of the cult were kept secret from the general public.


  From the Merriam Webster’s Dictionary.


   We can conclude from this definition that Doctor Richard Dante is now the keeper of many secrets.  When he found himself at the loci of the White Event,  he changed.    Outward, his hair became white and his irises are now golden.  But more so, he changed innerly.   

     The White Event not only changed many things, it created things, and it moved things.   Some of those things created were what Borges called “Alephs”.    An aleph is  place where one can see all of creation.      Doctor Dante was hit right in the face with one!

  This sudden infusion of Omniscience’s, caused his mind to reel, and he wandered in a haze, spouting prophecies and talking about advanced translumial physics.  He was taken in by  local family in India, and was treated with kindness.  They regarded him as Buddha, until the day he arose from his funk,  then they were kind of annoyed with him.

With no phone, no money, no magic rings,  Dante wasn’t even sure where he was, what with not speaking the language and such.   Things were looking gloomy and then it got worse.

   A party of what looked like Indian officials came to him.  They told Dante that they needed the help of the merciful white Buddha.   They said it was urgent.  They said the antichrist has been born.

The only new information that Dante can recall upon comming down from this Gnosis High is this;

  The Great Old Ones are called that because they existed before the universe was formed.   They came from Beyond.   They are invaders, germs, and spread like diease.  They are a plauge, a cancer that spreads from universe to universe,  and they infect all life with their contaigion.   
    They each exist in three parts, much like humans, but more so.  They have mind, body and spirit, but  unlike humans,  their three parts can function independandly.   For example,  Great  Cthulu's mind is challed Chorazin and invades the Dreamlands.    His body can awakedn without his mind, as it did  in the 1920's, but its a raging, mindless monster, one that was easliy put down by the sudden piercing of a cargo liner.  Had this great beast his soul or his mind with him, or heaven forbid, all three, this world would be a cynder.
   
    All of the Great Old Ones share one soul,  Nyarlothotep, the Crawling Chaos.   He is their messenger, their emissary and their spirit.

Dante also remembers that Jim Morrison is indeed dead.

Andy Kaufman, however, is alive and well and running a taco stand in Venice Beach, California.

Dante was frogmarched to the very steps of the house that the Devil lived in.  He saw the beast.   The house was littered with the husks of the dead bodies of neighbors.   The mother looked sad as she breast fed the child.

  The child had four arms,  antlers and his skin was crimson.   The scariest part was his eyes.  He had two perfectly formed irises, each looked wise and terrible.   His feet were cloven.

Dante, stepped back.  He thought the stories were exagerated.   He thought about it. And he used his Sight.

   He saw that the easiest thing to do, was to take a rock and bash the babe's skull in, but he considered this child, and his poor mother, his patient.  He couldn't do that.

He sat and thought out what to do.  He decided to seperate the child's soul and deal with it on another plane of exisitance.  He created a spell, and low and behold it worked!

Unfortunalty, he also took the souls of himself and about 35,000 others on a forced trip to the Astral Plan.

Oh, Magoo, you did it again!

We finished the adventure but never the write up on this one.

I remember Nexus showing up on Astral Form. How did we get everyone back to their bodies?

Mass spell that brought them back? That was the original idea that caused the whole nightmare or did Nexus guide them back?

35,000 would have been a mass undertaking and I cannot remember how we finally fixed it

I remember you invoked a power and used an inventing point to ask that power to push the souls back into their bodies.  I forget what power you invoked, so be prepared to pay back or become a Warlock.


Pretty much everything else I forget. Turner did show up and he battled the astral form and I think he chased it always, leaving a normal, but horribly deformed Munish Gupta.   I think  CHESS then provided them with care and a safe location to live.   

I can not for the life of me remember anything else.


I am sure you can remember more than I.

He definitely did not invoke a power. Dick may be nuts but I am not.

He owes Prince Nez something in about 10 months though

I will check notes to see if I find something

Not sure. Maybe since he was in deep shat. Thinking possibly Nexus passed on Dicks spell to Sally Nile. Will check books this weekend
