It's been hiding for at least a month, but it's chosen now to break out. " He didn't mention what had triggered it. "It uses memories, or shades; the way things could have been. That wasn't Jim, just an... image of him. Same for Cabadath. He's Chzo's dog, this Primoris creature couldn't command him." He stopped, looking up at a chandelier strung with cobwebs.
Primoris. Primaeval. Elemental.
Chzo was a pain elemental. It lived to cause agony, to feed and delight in it. The entity here used nightmares, which could cause pain, but it worked with other emotions as well. Paranoia, illness, desolation, failure...
"It's a fear elemental," he said, "and it's brought our dreams into the real world. Did it choose this place because so many supernatural beings are here? The worst fears of immortals must be potent indeed." He turned to face the stranger. "Change of plans. We need to go upstairs and find someone, and then we're going outside. What's your name?"
