>>6339763You see the tip of a monstrous shape emerge from the edge of the sinkhole, and rapidly it rises from the undergrowth, towering over your party. It's like a great tree, but smooth and bereft of leaves, a dark-brown, turgid skin seemingly crawling with something inside, threatening to break containment at any moment. The body is covered by dense and thick layers of an off-white, viscous substance dripping like a snowcap, as it continues to rise like a proper mountain. Next, individual tendrils extend from the main body into flexible branch-like limbs, much like back in the apartment building; but these look thicker, and sturdier. Their mucus-capped buds once again open into horrifying blooming growths, but this time more closely resembling the jaws of serpents or dragons, with a velvety inner lining and what seem to be analogues of teeth.
The "head" of the creature is a crown of gnarled branch-growths surrounding a cluster of brown-cap giant mushrooms, with one towering over the rest. All in all, it's as tall as the building from before, its four tendrils floating slowly away from the body, as if seeking prey with whatever hellish sense-organ they may have.
"<span class="mu-i">Candida satanica</span>..." You hear Chernabel mutter over the chaos.
This is hardly what you signed up for.
"Holy shit!!" You are reminded of Hassan's presence near you. Shockingly, he seems to be preparing a summon. Umaz hangs back behind Chernabel, who appears to be assessing her options.
This is fucking crazy! Who will you turn to for guidance?
>Hassan>Umaz>Chernabel>What guidance?! I'm gonna take this thing on myself!
