Round 259 Transcript

As Abby stumbles forward, her hand still braced against the wall for support, the symbols on the stone begin to glow with an intense, pulsing light. The air around her seems to thicken, growing heavy with an otherworldly presence that makes her skin prickle with unease. The hum of the entity's power grows louder, more insistent, until it's all she can feel, all she can think about. The tunnel's walls seem to be closing in around her, the stone pressing in on her from both sides as the symbols continue their maddening dance. Abby's vision blurs, and for a moment, she feels like she's being pulled toward the glowing symbols, as if they're exerting some kind of mindless allure. The sybian still clutched in her hand, Abby's fingers begin to tremble with a mixture of fear and fascination. She knows she needs to keep moving forward, but the symbols' hypnotic power is making it hard to think, hard to act.
